was partitioning ssd while installing arch and now its spamming "Failed to start...
what was the last thing you did right before it happened
royal gull
with cfdisk
yeah but what specifically did you do
glacial musk
so basically, you shrinked your partition but not your filesystem or something like that ?
glacial musk
wait
astral pond
the cfdisk ui popped up for about 10 seconds and then it did that
glacial musk
is it an arch install already installed, or were you partitioning before installing ?
astral pond
partition before install
glacial musk
oh
royal gull
how about you reboot and select copy to ram this time
astral pond
i have windows on my pc rn
royal gull
it might work
astral pond
how about you reboot and select copy to ram this time
where does it say copy to ram
glacial musk
i have windows on my pc rn
did you power it off peacefully ?
glacial musk
from windows
glacial musk
wait
royal gull
where does it say copy to ram
grub/syslinux
glacial musk
try what you just got latex'd said
astral pond
grub/syslinux
wait please give me more detail
glacial musk
where does it say copy to ram
before booting your archiso, you have multiple options
glacial musk
one of them is copy to ram
royal gull
astral pond
imma take a photo gimme a sec
glacial musk
instead of running the archiso from the usb stick it will copy it to your RAM and run it from there
glacial musk
okay so press e
astral pond
ok
astral pond
the fist line?
glacial musk
yes
astral pond
ok
glacial musk
you should have a bunch of lines
astral pond
yup
royal gull
okay so press `e`
wait it just uses a kernel parameter??
glacial musk
one of them starts with linux
glacial musk
wait it just uses a kernel parameter??
yes
astral pond
yeah
glacial musk
or Control-X if you don't have F10
glacial musk
yup
astral pond
okay am booting
glacial musk
also, did you check your iso's checksums ?
glacial musk
and what did you use to create the bootable stick ?
astral pond
rufus
glacial musk
ah
astral pond
is that the problem?
glacial musk
that's very possible
astral pond
so what should i use
glacial musk
if it doesn't work retry with either rufus's DD mode (if it still exists idk didn't use rufus since 2019) or balena etcher: https://www.balena.io/etcher/
astral pond
also when i shutdown it says a lot of messages that start like pcie bus error severity=corrected
royal gull
also, did you check your iso's checksums ?
is that where you use gpg to check integrity
astral pond
also just making sure - are the amd gpu dtivers installed by default on arch
royal gull
if it doesn't work retry with either rufus's DD mode (if it still exists idk did...
.aw usb flash installation medium

glacial musk
also just making sure - are the amd gpu dtivers installed by default on arch
well they are in the kernel, but you need a userland driver for X11 if you want to use X11, on wayland its fine
royal gull
see 4.1
etcher is sketchy
royal gull
dd mode gives a warning
what's it say
glacial musk
that's not a warning, it's a question
astral pond
oh ok
glacial musk
it asks you what mode to use
astral pond
but can i use my usb stick afterwards
glacial musk
yes
astral pond
okay then will do in dd mode
glacial musk
just that windows' file explorer won't see it anymore until you wipe it
glacial musk
yeh, or wipe it from a linux
astral pond
not there
imma flash again
maybe its the hard drive
but i used it to install windows without any problems
so idk tbh
astral pond
cool
glacial musk
amd drivers are inside of the linux kernel
so you don't need to worry about the drivers, more about the userland tools you need to be able to get, for example, 3d aceleration
astral pond
oh im stupid i forgot to select gpt partition mode
glacial musk
💀
astral pond
so you don't need to worry about the drivers, more about the userland tools you ...
oh okay so can i install them with pacman
glacial musk
yes
glacial musk
depends
astral pond
imma look it up once arch is set up then
glacial musk
.aw amdgpu
grand spruceBOT
glacial musk
imma look it up once arch is set up then
I can tell you it works very well on my Thinkpad E485 w/ Ryzen 5 2500U/AMD Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx
astral pond
cool
royal gull
imma try balenaetcher then
you should use ventoy instead
astral pond
is it on windows
royal gull
balenaetcher is sketchy bc it takes your ip
astral pond
wait what
royal gull
is it on windows
yeah, https://ventoy.net
astral pond
BRUHH i already finished flashing
glacial musk
so does discord tho
royal gull
so does discord tho
but discord isnt a usb flasher
glacial musk
if you use anything google your privacy is way more fucked than balena will ever do
astral pond
but discord isnt a usb flasher
lmao
astral pond
if you use anything google your privacy is way more fucked than balena will ever...
do plan on degoogling my phone one day
glacial musk
but discord isnt a usb flasher
we should request the feature
astral pond
yes
this happened on other distros too tho
mint gives errors when shutting down
and so does manjaro
royal gull
we should request the feature
for systemd? yeah
glacial musk
Chromium is able to use WebUSB, Electron is based on Chromium, Discord uses Electron, so it's technically possible to make discord a usb flasher 😏
glacial musk
still not in bios'
weird, do you have secure boot on ?
royal gull
Chromium is able to use WebUSB, Electron is based on Chromium, Discord uses Elec...
linux uses rust, uutils uses rust, so it's technically possible to make linux a coreutils set 😏
astral pond
what i have a bunch of exes now
royal gull
literally you sound ridiculous
astral pond
what do i do
royal gull
what do i do
what
astral pond
wait imma send a pic
royal gull
run ventoy2disk
astral pond
imma redownload the arch iso
royal gull
imma redownload the arch iso
sounds good
astral pond
uh oh imma have to boot off it right
royal gull
uh oh imma have to boot off it right
the iso?
glacial musk
imma redownload the arch iso
why ? didn't you check it already ?
astral pond
why ? didn't you check it already ?
i did but i cant think of anything else
royal gull
tbh
royal gull
boot into the usb
technically you can use pretty much every linux iso
except maybe manjaro
astral pond
why not manjaro
royal gull
why not manjaro
weird ass repos
astral pond
oh okay
royal gull
mint works though
astral pond
also when i had arch installe don my pc a long time ago
kde would freeze after like a minute
royal gull
oh
astral pond
i never found out why
so i switched to xfce
wait im checking the hash of the redownloaded arch iso
seems good
imma try copying then
ok booting from hdd
ok i am booting
okay seems to work
wait iwctl is broken
just says no networks available
we good
YES CFDISK IS OKAY
okay guys im saying goodbye to windows
nope its not ok
just gonna use manjaro ig
royal gull
just gonna use manjaro ig
.s manjaro
grand spruceBOT
.s manjaro
royal gull
then what do i do
i'm too tired to explain
astral pond
okay that's fair
royal gull
mint iso is pretty much exactly like arch iso if you run sudo -s then apt install arch-install-scripts
thats all ill say
or that
astral pond
wdym
royal gull
I think it has something to do with my ssd
maybe
