Please follow the Standard Litany when asking a question:
• What was your environment? What was your operating system, configuration?
• What did you do? What did you run or test? Where?
• What actually happened? What were the exact results, complete log contents, exact error messages?
• What did you expect? What were you aiming to achieve? What result were you looking for?

Vague or superficial questions will yield vague or superficial answers. False information leads to false solutions.

When requesting support, please include specific, detailed, and relevant information about your system and issue.

We need such information because we don't know what it's like inside your system, and it's unlikely that we know much about the issue you're facing. The more information you can provide, the better we can help you with your specific issue.

Some examples of frequently requested information include the steps you took before your issue occurred (such as system updates), the steps you took to resolve your issue and their results, and your environment (such as your display manager or desktop environment).

Vague or superficial questions lead to vague or superficial answers. False information leads to false solutions.

Did you enabled virtualization support on your BIOS?

Did you installed the kernel headers?

[subtle minnow]

I'll check both of those

[subtle minnow]

no I didn't do that

[hidden pebble]

[subtle minnow]

os - arch. what i did - ran virtual box with a windows 10 iso. results - didn't load. expectations - for it to load.

[subtle minnow]

this is the headers you mean right?

[subtle minnow]

I mean this

[subtle minnow]

Also I actually do have that enabled I just checked

so that can't be the issue

[hidden pebble]

Yup. Every kernel has headers which are requir by vbox

Then reboot to apply changes

[subtle minnow]

yeah but installing it didn't work

[subtle minnow]

.aw reflector

[coarse blade]

Arch Wiki: Reflector

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Reflector

[hidden pebble]

Use reflector to put your mirrors

Then sudo pacman -Syu

[subtle minnow]

so i just run that command to update the mirrors?

[subtle minnow]

or do i install the reflector first?

[nimble adder]

why is there a... ohhhhhhh

[subtle minnow]

huh?

[nimble adder]

[subtle minnow]

not sure what that means

[nimble adder]

no matter

[subtle minnow]

ok

[nimble adder]

u can do them at the same time

paru -Syu reflector

[subtle minnow]

ok I installed the reflector already

now i ran paru -Syu

[nimble adder]

doesnt really matter which u do first tbh

just run the reflector command after u update

[subtle minnow]

which is?

[nimble adder]

on the arch wiki page for reflector

reflector --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist --country France,Germany --protocol https --latest 5except change the country to whatever country ur in

[subtle minnow]

okay so for example

reflector --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist --country United States, --protocol https --latest 5

?

[subtle minnow]

Why is there two countries? france and germany

[subtle minnow]

Also my update is done so now I can run the reflector command

[subtle minnow]

wait did i do something wrong the update stopped

[subtle minnow]

I'm running the reflector but nothing is loading?

I put my password in

[nimble adder]

no comma

[subtle minnow]

so should I rerun this command ? : sudo reflector --latest 5 --country "United States", --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist --protocol https --download-timeout 15

and take out the comma?

[nimble adder]

idk if United States is right actually

[subtle minnow]

damn ok

[nimble adder]

try using us

[hidden pebble]

You use reflector then update

[subtle minnow]

can I not use the country "United States" for the reflector?

[subtle minnow]

ok

[hidden pebble]

I use the country where I am rn to get the closest mirrors so.. do the same

[subtle minnow]

so this ? : "sudo reflector --latest 5 --country "US", --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist --protocol https --download-timeout 15"

[subtle minnow]

Yeah I am in the US

that's why

[hidden pebble]

United States then

Afaik it has to be the full country name

[nimble adder]

country codes work according to the help page

[subtle minnow]

ok ill try +1 then

[nimble adder]

no country codes like us and fr

[subtle minnow]

how come nothing loads?

[subtle minnow]

oh

[nimble adder]

maybe it worked?

try updating or installing or whatever

[subtle minnow]

oh okay

updating what?

[subtle minnow]

I already updated with -Syu?

[nimble adder]

then try installing what u were installing earlier

[subtle minnow]

oh okay ya linux kernel

i mean headers

[subtle minnow]

the installation for headers is working now tysm!!!

[subtle minnow]

So i have the virtualization support enabled and now kernel headers installed I'm going to try to start the virtual box again

hopefully it will work this time

[hidden pebble]

Good. Always keep your mirrors updated

[subtle minnow]

It is still stuck

[hidden pebble]

Did you tried making another VM?

New VM but you keep the VHD

[subtle minnow]

Okay I'll try making another VM

[hidden pebble]

Remember to reboot after installing the headers

[subtle minnow]

oh i didn't do that

okay

brb

[subtle minnow]

still not working after reboot

[subtle minnow]
