[solved] Can't get into arch something about xorg I think | Arch Linux Community | Page 2

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 1:46 AM

#

and type 'yes'

#

and then quit

#

did you do the write and yes already?

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 1:46 AM

#

yea

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 1:46 AM

#

okay yeah do that

#

quit

#

and then

#

mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda3

#

this formats root to ext4 file system

#

mkfs.fat -F 32 /dev/sda1

#

which formats your boot

#

mount /dev/sda3 /mnt which will mount your root

#

mkswap /dev/sda2 which makes your swap partition an actual swap partition

#

swapon /dev/sda2 so now we're using the swap and from here on out using it, even after install

#

mkdir /mnt/boot making a dir for your boot partition

#

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot mounting the boot partition

#

let me know when you are there

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 1:50 AM

#

there

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 1:50 AM

#

okay what text editor do you use?

#

nano or vim?

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 1:50 AM

#

vim

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 1:50 AM

#

ok good

#

me to

#

too*

#

now we need to pacstrap

#

pacstrap /mnt base base-devel linux linux-firmware neovim man-db man-pages texinfo

#

actually I use neovim lol

#

you don't need to add neovim if you just use vi

#

idk what to add for vim or vi

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 1:52 AM

#

soo

#

should i just try the command with vim instead of neovim?

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 1:52 AM

#

I mean

#

I don't know man, I'm sorry

#

I have a great neovim set up

#

I have no idea for vi or vim

#

I only use neovim

#

I think vi is defaulted in

#

can probably just exclude it

#

neovim works the same as vim, it won't hurt you anyway

#

just has more features

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 1:54 AM

#

wait is that just installing stuff

#

so doesnt matter

#

if i leave stuff out

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 1:54 AM

#

right, but it's installing the kernel and whatever else

#

no it doesn't matter

#

maybe put nano in

#

you need a text editor anyway if shit breaks

#

w/e

#

it's the pacstrap, this is the most important part of install actually

#

I put man pages and shit in there

#

base is needed, linux andn linux-firmware is needed

#

base-devel is developer stuff, like c compiler and everything important

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 1:56 AM

#

i did this on my first install

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 1:56 AM

#

just put the neovim in bro, it's not that bloated

#

I can remote in and help ya haha

#

okay

#

I can work with vim

#

that's fine

#

add the man pages shit I added too though

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 1:57 AM

#

why

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 1:57 AM

#

replace neovim for vim

#

dw about neovim

#

it's okay

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 1:57 AM

#

no but what are the man pages

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 1:57 AM

#

yeah that looks good but the others are man pages

#

omg you don't know man pages?

#

that's the docs on your pc

#

for anything man

#

any c lib

#

#

there are man pages for every program and command

#

this is man pacman

#

if you don't have internet, you need man pages

#

manual pages

#

bro

#

it's where you can find anything you want

#

thorough documentation

#

in the man pages

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 1:59 AM

#

ok

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 1:59 AM

#

also there is the tldr program, but you need to install that later

#

#

damn the screenshot must have lagged

#

we were on the pacstrap right?

#

#

did you pacstrap already?

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:00 AM

#

yea its doing the thing

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:01 AM

#

ok brb

#

https://github.com/yenaras/laptop.config/blob/main/docs/systemd_arch_install.md btw I'm following my old docs on this

GitHub

#

and arch wiki install guide

#

Need to rename the title honestly, because systemd boot is not as related to systemd as it presumes

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:04 AM

#

yea doesnt everyone hate systemd

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:04 AM

#

And also archive it because it says work in progress when I don't even have that laptop anymore

#

No

#

I love systemd

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:04 AM

#

but like

#

other people

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:04 AM

#

Yeah

#

But do they have a better option?

#

No

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:05 AM

#

pacstrap done

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:05 AM

#

Okay sorry I'm out back smoking again give me a minute lol

#

You know why people hate systemd though

#

Because Linux philosophy

#

A program should do one thing

#

And do it well

#

Well systemd is simple enough but it does a lot

#

It's process 1

#

But the idea is everything should be seperate

#

Anyway this is for another day

#

I'll be back to my PC in 2 minutes

#

okay back at pc

#

systemd boot actually has nothing to do with systemd, it use to be called gummiboot

#

was developed by Germans and is a completely different thing

#

so where were we

#

pacstrap is done

#

now we need to gen your fstab

#

is boot mounted?

#

and root

#

show me lsblk

#

need to make sure we're mounted up first

#

okay great

#

now

#

genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

#

hopefully no output from it

#

right?

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:13 AM

#

no output yea

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:13 AM

#

okay arch-chroot /mnt

#

where do you live

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:13 AM

#

is this for timezones or?

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:13 AM

#

we need to set your local

#

yeah and locale

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:13 AM

#

west coast

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:14 AM

#

okay so you need to link your timezome for localtime

#

cali?

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:14 AM

#

yea

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:15 AM

#

okay so you need to do like ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Cali* /etc/localtime the star idk you need to tab autocomplete that shit

#

you can explore that folder for accuracy if you want

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:16 AM

#

where is folder located

#

o nvm

#

i studpid

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:16 AM

#

where it says

#

lmao

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:16 AM

#

yea lol

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:16 AM

#

is all of cali the same time zone?

#

let me know when you got it figured out, then we can move on

#

to setting your hardware clock

#

what command do you use for vim? vi or vim?

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:18 AM

#

echo zephyr is all of cali the same time zone?

yea but the locations are confusing

#

i dont think they have just cali

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:19 AM

#

it doesn't matter that much, it's for time

#

just use cali then

#

w/e is in cali

#

not like we are trying to get your fingerprint here

#

just the correct time

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:20 AM

#

i have no idea which one is correct time

#

im gona have to pull up google maps lol

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:20 AM

#

okay

#

just find your damn time zone

#

west coast time zone

#

is it 6 pm there?

#

6:22

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:22 AM

#

yea

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:22 AM

#

PST

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:22 AM

#

i tried typing just california and got no output

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:22 AM

#

okay hang on

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:22 AM

#

is there supposed to be output

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:23 AM

#

yeah like

#

wait a minute let me check my folder to see what you need to do

#

wow there is actually no california option lmao

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:24 AM

#

thers LA

#

ima try that

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:24 AM

#

yeah do la

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:25 AM

#

no output

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:25 AM

#

multiple indiana options, cuz we use to refuse to comply with the day light savings lol

#

that's good

#

it's okay

#

no output is good

#

now lets set the hardware clock

#

hwclock --systohc

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:27 AM

#

no output

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:27 AM

#

good

#

sec

#

now edit the locale

#

vi /etc/locale.gen

#

and uncomment the lines that say en_US, should be two of them

#

you can /search for them

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:30 AM

#

write and quit?

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:30 AM

#

should be right next to each other

#

yeah

#

wq

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:30 AM

#

ok

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:30 AM

#

done?

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:30 AM

#

yea

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:31 AM

#

mk now you need to generate the locale

#

locale-gen

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:31 AM

#

it said the two things

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:31 AM

#

ok

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:32 AM

#

en_US.UTF-8

#

and iso 8859-1

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:32 AM

#

now you need to make the locale.conf file and export the lang variable

#

right

#

echo LANG=en_US.UTF-8 > /etc/locale.conf
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

#

two different commands there

#

do them seperate

#

lmk when done

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:34 AM

#

done

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:35 AM

#

mk now we should configure the hostname

#

do you got an idea what you want your pc hostname to be

#

either way it doesn't matter to me, do this

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:35 AM

#

should i keep it the same

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:35 AM

#

idc

#

echo <host-name> > /etc/hostname

#

it's gotta be in the hostname file

#

w/e you want your pc hostname to be

#

I don't want you to share it with me

#

not to be rude

#

just don't want people here to hack you

#

lmk when that's done

#

I don't want to know what it is

#

yeah

#

it really doesn't matter

#

lmfao

#

right

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:38 AM

#

is it the thing that shows up before command prompt

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:39 AM

#

we're going to /etc/host next

#

no

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:39 AM

#

cuz ive already posted that in images in this channel

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:39 AM

#

the things I had him do before were worse to leak

#

come on

#

lets finish this

#

I want to go to bed

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:39 AM

#

is it different than the thing that has my home directory in it

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:39 AM

#

no

#

fuck you're fine'

#

chill guys

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:40 AM

#

ok i did the thing

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:40 AM

#

what thing

#

I got distracted from the barage of trolls

#

oh

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:40 AM

#

echo zephyr `echo <host-name> > /etc/hostname`

this

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:40 AM

#

ok

#

no

#

stop

#

he's not there yet

#

chill

#

yes

#

#

shghhhhhhhhh

#

stfu

#

I got this man

#

lmao

#

ily

#

hack me later

#

i Love you but fuck off

#

pm me

#

❤️

#

okay now

#

where were we

#

now you need to make a file called /etc/hosts

#

actually it's already there

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:43 AM

#

mkdir?

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:43 AM

#

you need to edit it

#

no just vi

#

127.0.0.1   localhost
::1         localhost
127.0.1.1   arch-pc

#

like that

#

then after that you set the root password for the system

#

passwd

#

then you add your user after that

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:44 AM

#

echo zephyr ``` 127.0.0.1 localhost ::1 localhost 127.0.1.1 arch-pc ```

put this into hosts file?

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:44 AM

#

yeah the file /etc/hosts

#

yep

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:44 AM

#

and then go back to terminal and type passwd

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:44 AM

#

or if you got a better idea from your job

#

idk

#

right

#

that's a good default

#

unless you got a job that requires something else

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:45 AM

#

huh

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:45 AM

#

nothing, you must not

#

it's okay

#

don't mind the trolls lmao

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:45 AM

#

echo zephyr ``` 127.0.0.1 localhost ::1 localhost 127.0.1.1 arch-pc ```

whats betwween the number and localhost

#

tab?

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:46 AM

#

a tab

#

yes

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:46 AM

#

a bunch of spaces

#

o

#

tab ok

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:46 AM

#

tab

#

it doesn't actually matter

#

can be one space or a tab

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:46 AM

#

what is arch-pc

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:46 AM

#

my pc

#

that name doesn't matter either

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:46 AM

#

so i can replace with anything?

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:47 AM

#

yes

#

it's your host name basically

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:47 AM

#

wait

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:47 AM

#

it should match the other file though

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:47 AM

#

like my hostname

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:48 AM

#

yeah

#

/etc/hostname

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:48 AM

#

echo zephyr `echo <host-name> > /etc/hostname`

so has to match this

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:48 AM

#

it really isn't that that big of a deal

#

only for some things

#

right

#

that thing

#

depends on what you wanna do

#

we should move on from that, but yes you should match those

#

imma go smoke lol

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:49 AM

#

i did passwd thing

#

bro chill with the smoking

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:49 AM

#

I can't

#

I gotta go back to jail soon

#

brb

#

I'll be on my phone out there though

#

Okay hang on

#

I'm smoking and pissing out back now but I know you need to smoke your user next

#

Make not smoke

#

Auto correct is dumb af

#

I'll give you the right commands when I get back inside

#

sorry I'm back

#

so where are you

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:58 AM

#

set passwd

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:58 AM

#

everybody chimed in and it overwhelmed me

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:58 AM

#

havnt made user

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:58 AM

#

you set root passwd?

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 2:58 AM

#

yea root

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 2:59 AM

#

ok

#

now we need to make your user

#

useradd -m -g users -G wheel,storage,power -s /bin/bash username

#

replace username with your username

#

no

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:01 AM

#

ok now what

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:02 AM

#

hang on my cat is being a bitch infront of my monitor

#

you made your username?

#

I fucked her off

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:02 AM

#

yea

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:03 AM

#

ok

#

now passwd username

#

and set your password

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:03 AM

#

done

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:03 AM

#

okay you use vim right?

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:03 AM

#

yea

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:03 AM

#

EDITOR=vi visudo

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:04 AM

#

ive been typing vim not vi tho

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:04 AM

#

and uncomment this line

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:04 AM

#

and its been working

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:04 AM

#

w/e

#

%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:05 AM

#

would EDITOR=vim vimsudo work?

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:05 AM

#

uncomment that

#

yeah

#

I mean i use nvim so

#

I'm sure

#

I thought vi was for vim

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:05 AM

#

it said vimsudo command not found

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:05 AM

#

sorry

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:05 AM

#

maybe it is

#

vim always worked before tho idk

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:06 AM

#

anyway you need to edit the sudo file

#

uncomment the wheel group

#

visudo

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:07 AM

#

yea

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:07 AM

#

right

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:07 AM

#

i edited file

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:07 AM

#

ok

#

now

#

you don't have a boot loader yet

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:07 AM

#

mhm

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:08 AM

#

you want systemd boot or grub?

#

I recommend systemd boot

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:08 AM

#

im aware

#

but sure

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:08 AM

#

ok

#

show me lsblk again

#

cuz systemd boot need to be on /boot, not /boot/efi

#

for what I know anywah

#

okay

#

so now

#

bootctl --path=/boot install

#

touch /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf

#

findmnt -fn -o PARTUUID /dev/sda3 >> /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:10 AM

#

echo zephyr `bootctl --path=/boot install`

it said file system "/dev/sda1" is not on a gpt partition table

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:11 AM

#

wtf

#

why not

#

is your system not UEFI?

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:11 AM

#

i mean it should be

#

idk

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:11 AM

#

can you check in bios?

#

ok you know what

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:11 AM

#

reboot?

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:11 AM

#

it could be but

#

windows made it MBR

#

idk

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:12 AM

#

i had arch before

#

how did it work

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:12 AM

#

I'm sorry I actually don't know

#

arch can work on mbr or uefi

#

but idk what you had before

#

mbr is ancient tech

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:12 AM

#

its a pretty old laptop btw if that matters

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:13 AM

#

hmmm

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:13 AM

#

t520

#

made in 2011 i believe

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:13 AM

#

I'm not going to pretend I know that number

#

that's you're laptop though?

#

actually

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:14 AM

#

i got for 50 bucks on ebay

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:14 AM

#

arch wiki has a command to run

#

to see if it's efi

#

that

#

what dude said just there

#

run what @tender parrot just said

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:15 AM

#

it output lots of stuff

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:15 AM

#

okay so it's efi

#

if nothing it's not

#

@tender parrot I need help here lmao

#

so we backuped their home dir

#

original install was broke, no interface for ethernet or wifi

#

now reinstalling

#

and now I'm drunk

#

halfway through reinstall

#

no

#

I was sober before determining reinstall necessary

#

what gui

#

hmm

#

okay well I was helping them switch from grub to systemd boot

#

no

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:18 AM

#

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:19 AM

#

just that I prefer it

#

no otherwise

#

if you can guide them with grub then great

#

I don't know grub like systemd boot

#

you saw where we left off though right?

#

all that was fine

#

ok

#

man we are a weird bunch lol

#

arch users I mean

#

brb gonna smoke again

#

yeah it is but I hate grub

#

systemd boot is better

#

his issue is with neither

#

it broke anyway man

#

we are fresh installing

#

I backed his stuff up on a usb he went and bought

haughty perch Nov 21, 2022, 3:22 AM

#

Can you catch me up on the issue

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:22 AM

#

ok

#

in a bit sure

#

first I gotta use the bathroom too

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:22 AM

#

so do i have to install grub first

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:23 AM

#

wow we arch users are a weird bunch

#

#

hang on man

#

don't do anything

#

wait

#

brb

#

honestly if anyone has any grub suggestions for my friend, I was joking

#

you can tell him w/e advice you have for him

#

I just prefer systemd boot

#

but I have to brb

#

and he can make his own choice

#

yall are badass

#

idc if we disagree on software

#

Grub is shit lately though imo, having to fix everyone's installs

#

We are hijacking this guy's thread though

#

Give me like 10 minutes to smoke and finish fixing his os and then we can talk shit to each other lmao

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:30 AM

#

with systemd boot?

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:31 AM

#

Yesh

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:31 AM

#

but like

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:31 AM

Hang on

#

Sorry

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:31 AM

Let me piss and get back to my PC

#

okay now I'm back

#

you wanna know what that sn does

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:38 AM

#

yea

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:38 AM

#

removes shit that can cause issues later

#

like

#

when you wanna remove a package

#

-R sometimes isn't enough

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:40 AM

#

is there any downside tho

#

like why does just -R exist

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:41 AM

#

well it removes the package, but not the stuff the depends on it

#

where did we leave off anyway

#

are you in a gui environment yet?

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:41 AM

#

no

#

i have to uninstall grub package first

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:41 AM

#

well where are you

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:41 AM

#

do i use the sn

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:42 AM

#

idk where are we

#

everyone butted in and hijacked your thread

#

last I remember you set the host name

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:43 AM

#

and its like gpt or something

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:43 AM

#

what's the last command you ran

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:43 AM

#

well i did pacman -S grub but you didnt tell me to do that

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:44 AM

#

no I did not

#

I don't like grub and never will

#

you want systemd boot, right?

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:44 AM

#

echo zephyr `bootctl --path=/boot install`

this thing

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:44 AM

#

okay

#

so if you press up that's what shows?

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:45 AM

#

after that was ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:45 AM

#

ok that doesn't matter

#

okay cool

#

now

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:46 AM

#

do i do -Rsn or just -R for grub tho

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:46 AM

#

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:54 AM

#

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:54 AM

#

so nobody exploits it

#

yes

#

shut it down

#

unplug it too

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:54 AM

#

i mean it has a battery

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:54 AM

#

unplug everything

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:54 AM

#

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:54 AM

#

idc

#

no

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:54 AM

why no

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:54 AM

#

unplug it all

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:54 AM

#

battery is hella easy to take out

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:55 AM

#

ok w/e

#

unplug it

#

take the battery out

#

w/e

#

unplug is always the best option

#

no power = no data

#

I'm going to bed, gn

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 3:55 AM

#

gn

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 3:55 AM

#

❤️

#

Man I wanna help more but check the GitHub I linked earlier, it will guide you through the steps

#

I'm too fucked up ATM and I gotta go to bed

#

Bet I can fix it tomorrow when I sober up though

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 4:02 AM

#

ok

#

im gona have to leave like midday tmr

#

4:30 east coast time

#

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 4:13 PM

#

I'm up now lol

#

sorry, I drank too much last night

#

did you get your boot loader set up?

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:19 PM

#

um no

#

@echo zephyr

#

whenever i try grub I get an error about efi so i guess we doin systemd boot

#

also do i have to boot into the usb now and chroot into /mnt

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:27 PM

#

okay I'm here

#

yeah

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:28 PM

#

anything else i have to do before boot loader?

#

like connecting to internet

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:29 PM

#

yeah so connect to internet first

#

before you chroot in

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:29 PM

#

ok

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:29 PM

#

and mount /mnt and /mnt/boot

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:32 PM

#

sda3 to /mnt and sda1 to boot?

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:32 PM

#

yes

#

you might need to mkdir /mnt/boot after you mount root

#

reading up where I got too drunk in this thread is embarrassing lmao

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:34 PM

#

i cd into /mnt and there is a boot folder

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:34 PM

#

ok so just mount sda1 to /mnt/boot

#

then arch-chroot in to /mnt, cuz we already pacstrapped and genfstab right?

#

we can do it again if you want to make sure

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:35 PM

#

is there a way to check without doing again

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:35 PM

#

hmm

#

I know we did pacstrap

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:35 PM

#

i mean yea

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:35 PM

#

you can check for the presence of fstab

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:36 PM

#

we definitly did

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:36 PM

#

cat /mnt/etc/fstab

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:36 PM

#

things appeared

#

ext4 and swap

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:36 PM

#

okay so you can chroot in then

#

no boot?

#

fat32

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:37 PM

#

it says vfat

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:37 PM

#

ok

#

yeah vfat fat32

#

okay

#

chroot in

#

arch-chroot /mnt

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:37 PM

#

ok

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:38 PM

#

did we set the local time?

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:38 PM

#

yea

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:38 PM

#

and the hardware clock?

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:38 PM

#

idk

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:38 PM

#

hwclock --systohc

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:38 PM

#

probably

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:39 PM

#

okay

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:39 PM

#

if you do it twice is that bad

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:39 PM

#

no

#

doesn't matter

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:39 PM

#

ok ill just do it

#

k

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:39 PM

#

did you edit /etc/locale.gen

#

uncomment your locale

#

like en_US

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:40 PM

#

i think

#

yea

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:40 PM

#

check to make sure

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:40 PM

#

2 of them

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:40 PM

#

yes

#

okay

#

moving on

#

locale-gen

#

doesn't hurt to run again

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:40 PM

#

generation complete

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:41 PM

#

echo LANG=en_US.UTF-8 > /etc/locale.conf

#

won't hurt if we already did it, will override

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:41 PM

#

i remember doing that

#

wait brb rq

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:41 PM

#

ok

#

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 you need to do this anyway for the current load of the iso

#

current terminal shell I mean

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:42 PM

#

back

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:42 PM

#

wb

#

then you need to set your host name in /etc/hostname can be whatever, mine is arch-pc

#

echo arch-pc > /etc/hostname

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:42 PM

#

again?

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:43 PM

#

idk

#

if you done it already

#

I was trashed last night, I"m sorry

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:43 PM

#

yea forgot quite a bit lol

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:43 PM

#

don't remember much

#

yeah haha, just now remembered what I had for dinner

#

did you edit /etc/hosts?

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:44 PM

#

wheel thing?

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:44 PM

#

no

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:44 PM

#

with the alls

#

all=all) all som ething idk i remember a lot of alls

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:44 PM

#

127.0.0.1   localhost
::1         localhost
127.0.1.1   arch-pc
``` /etc/hosts should look like this

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:44 PM

#

o

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:44 PM

#

that's the sudo file

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:44 PM

#

no i did that too yea

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:44 PM

#

that you're talking about

#

ok

#

you set root passwd?

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:45 PM

#

yea

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:45 PM

#

added your user?

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:45 PM

#

yea

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:45 PM

#

and user passwd?

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:45 PM

#

yea

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:45 PM

#

ok hang on

#

now do bootctl --path=/boot install

#

this will install systemd boot in your /boot

#

then we need to configure it

#

let me know if that runs successfully

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:46 PM

#

i think i already did that

#

should i do again

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:46 PM

#

hmm show me ls /boot

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:46 PM

#

grub is there lol

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:47 PM

#

fuck

#

fuck grub lol

#

damn

#

maybe we should format it again

#

hmm

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:47 PM

#

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:47 PM

#

hang on

#

rm -rf /boot/grub

#

and then pacman -Rsn grub

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:48 PM

#

it said target not found: grub

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:48 PM

#

okay

#

so do the bootctl again

#

bootctl --path=/boot install

#

then we need to make an entry for your operating system

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:49 PM

#

file system "/dev/sda1" is not a GPT partition table

#

this happened last time

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:50 PM

#

well that's a problem

#

it should be

#

okay so just exit

#

lets fix that first

#

we maybe need to start over actually

#

cuz it should be a GPT file system

#

hang on I'm gonna take a break and use the bathroom and smoke

#

didn't realize it wasn't GPT

#

Sorry i should have had the foresight to check the partition table first, I just assumed it was GPT already since it's UEFI

#

We have to start all over now

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:56 PM

#

so uh

#

i have to go in like 2 hours

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:56 PM

#

It shouldn't take 2 hours, but we can do it later if you want

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:56 PM

#

ok

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:56 PM

#

I'm still smoking right now though, on mobile atm

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:57 PM

#

what is gona be the first step

#

in starting over

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:57 PM

#

So you need to unmount /mnt/boot first

#

And then /mnt

#

With umount

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:58 PM

#

u mount <what go here>

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:58 PM

#

Yes

#

Sec

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 6:58 PM

#

ok

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 6:59 PM

#

umount /mnt/boot

#

umount /mnt

#

back at my pc now

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:00 PM

#

done

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:00 PM

#

cfdisk

#

sec

#

actually

#

cfdisk /dev/sda

#

I need to plug in a usb to check the options

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:01 PM

#

can i post image

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:01 PM

#

well actually just quit cfdisk

#

we need something else I think to make a partition table, like parted

#

parted /dev/sda

#

in that menu do mklabel gpt

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:04 PM

#

it says type help to view a list of commands

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:04 PM

#

okay type help if you want

#

you can either do mklabel gpt or mktable gpt

#

does the same

#

I'm in help menu rn lol

#

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:05 PM

#

it gave warning i assume i say yes

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:05 PM

#

what warning

#

what does it say

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:05 PM

#

existing disk label will be destroyed data will be destroyed blah blah

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:05 PM

#

yes

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:06 PM

#

ok now what

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:06 PM

#

okay now quit

#

then cfdisk /dev/sda

#

and we make the partitions again

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:06 PM

#

it said information: You may need to update /etc/fstab'

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:06 PM

#

that's okay we will

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:07 PM

#

sda1 512m?

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:07 PM

#

yes

#

and should be boot

#

efi

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:07 PM

#

then 16g

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:07 PM

#

yeah for swap space

#

if you got 8gb ram

#

then the rest linux file system

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:08 PM

#

echo zephyr efi

EFI System?

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:08 PM

#

yeah, should be top option iirc

#

could be different for your pc idk

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:08 PM

#

there are like way more options now

#

than mbr

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:09 PM

#

basically sda1 should be efi 512mb, swap should be 16gb, the rest linux file system

#

yeah mbr is shit

#

make sure to write

#

before quitting

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:10 PM

#

ok

#

they are efi system, linux swap, and linux filesystem

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:10 PM

#

okay good

#

write and quit

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:10 PM

#

ye

#

did that

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:10 PM

#

mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda3

#

formats root to ext4 file system

#

mkfs.fat -F 32 /dev/sda1 formats boot to fat 32

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:11 PM

#

it says it contains a ext4 file system last mounted on /mnt on mon nov 21

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:11 PM

#

it's okay

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:11 PM

#

proceed anyway

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:12 PM

#

we want to write over it yeah

#

you got your backup right?

#

when we rsynced it

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:12 PM

#

yea

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:12 PM

#

ok

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:12 PM

#

i mean it had a bunch of errors but we ignored it lol

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:12 PM

#

yeah lol

#

probably permission issues

#

it's ok

#

so now do mount /dev/sda3 /mnt

#

then we will make the swap and swap on it

#

mkswap /dev/sda2

#

swapon /dev/sda2

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:14 PM

#

ok

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:16 PM

#

okay now mkdir /mnt/boot

#

and mount sda1 there

#

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:16 PM

#

k

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:18 PM

#

now we need to pacstrap again

#

sec

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:19 PM

#

pacstrap /mnt base base-devel linux linux-firmware vim man-db man-pages texinfo

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:19 PM

#

yeah

#

sorry I was a stay at home dad for 3 years, and my fiance cheated on me and I moved back in with my mom, and my mom is talking to me in the background so I'm distracted lol

#

quit a good paying job cuz my fiance asked me to x.x

#

when that finishes, we need to gen the fstab

#

genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:22 PM

#

u can put a few more commands after if u want

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:22 PM

#

ok

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:22 PM

#

less waiting for both of us

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:22 PM

#

after you gen fstab we chroot in

#

arch-chroot /mnt

#

then we set the timezone again

#

for me it would be this

#

ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Indiana/Indianapolis /etc/localtime

#

hwclock --systohc for the hardware clock

#

vi /etc/locale.gen and uncomment the two lines again

#

locale-gen to generate it

#

echo LANG=en_US.UTF-8 > /etc/locale.conf assuming you're in the US

#

or use the US format

#

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

#

echo arch-pc > /etc/hostname set hostname, replace arch-pc with whatever you want. Has to be consistent in /etc/host though

#

vi /etc/hosts

#

127.0.0.1   localhost
::1         localhost
127.0.1.1   arch-pc```

#

something like that

#

set root pw

#

passwd

#

make your user

#

useradd -m -g users -G wheel,storage,power -s /bin/bash username

#

set user password

#

passwd username

#

edit visudo

#

EDITOR=vi visudo

#

uncomment wheel line

#

like this line

#

%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL

#

we can move on after that lmk when you're there

#

I'm gonna take a quick break

#

Only thing after that is bootloader

#

Grub or systemd boot

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:31 PM

#

i mean

#

grub will probably work now that its gpt

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:32 PM

#

Yeah it should

#

I can help you easier with systemd boot though cuz I know it better

#

And it's more precise and faster booting

#

Up to you

#

I can help with grub too if you want

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:33 PM

#

would systemd boot break less

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:33 PM

#

Grub is basically a lot of abstraction

#

Yeah

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:34 PM

#

but be harder to get help cuz less people use it

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:34 PM

#

Grub breaks a lot

#

Systemd boot can't really break

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:34 PM

#

ok sure systemd boot

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:34 PM

#

Okay one minute to get back to my pc

#

Gotta take a leak

#

okay now

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:37 PM

#

echo zephyr `%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL`

wait is it %wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:37 PM

#

yes, just delete the # infront of it

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:38 PM

#

ok

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:38 PM

#

w/e was there before

#

you know lets make sure the shit is right actually

#

do this pacman -S gdisk

#

then run gdisk /dev/sda

#

when you're in it, type t in the prompt

#

1

#

EF00

#

w

#

y

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:39 PM

#

4 seperate commands?

#

o

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:40 PM

#

in the same prompt

#

yeah

#

seperate

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:40 PM

#

it says its gona overwrite existing partitions

#

why we doin this

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:40 PM

#

it's okay

#

well

#

if it's already EF00 flag it's fine

#

make sure the flag is right

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:41 PM

#

ok whatever i did it

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:41 PM

#

sec I gotta move something for my mother

#

ok

#

then do bootctl --path=/boot install again to make sure

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:42 PM

#

created efi boot entry linux boot manager

#

and other good things

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:42 PM

#

ok now

#

touch /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf

#

you use vim right?

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:42 PM

#

yea

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:42 PM

#

ok

#

vi /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf

#

edit it to look like this, and I'll give you a vim tool to import the partuuid

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:44 PM

#

brb

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:44 PM

#

title   Arch Linux
linux   /vmlinuz-linux
initrd  /initramfs-linux.img
options root=PARTUUID=<part-hash-goes-here-without-the-angle-brackets> rw```

#

ok

#

in vim you can :r! findmnt -f -o PARTUUID /dev/sda3

#

to import that partuuid

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:46 PM

#

back

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:47 PM

#

wb

#

so title is just what it shows in boot menu

#

can be anything

#

the rest needs to be exact

#

let me know when you're done with that file

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:49 PM

#

uh

#

how find part hash

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:49 PM

#

in vim you can use the : i shared

#

from normal mode

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:49 PM

#

o

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:50 PM

#

it might also import PARTUUID so you might need to clean it up

#

can't remember

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:51 PM

#

yea it does

#

k done

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:51 PM

#

okay

#

now we need to edit the default loader.conf

#

vi /boot/loader/loader.conf

#

default arch
timeout 4
console-mode max
editor no

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:52 PM

#

below the commented stuff?

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:52 PM

#

the first one is just the loader

#

delete everything in the file and replace it

#

timeout is the number of seconds it waits to boot the default

#

in boot menu

#

so it's gonna default boot arch

#

wait 4 seconds, you can change that

#

don't change the others

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:54 PM

#

ok

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:54 PM

#

now you need to make sure internet works when you reboot

#

pacman -S networkmanager dhcpcd

#

systemctl enable NetworkManager

#

systemctl enable dhcpcd

#

or if you have a better preference

#

like I think I use systemd.resolved now

#

other than that, what desktop environment or window manager do you use?

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:56 PM

#

i3

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:56 PM

#

ok you might wanna install that now

#

or just reboot and see if you can get in, but you need to exit chroot, umount and poweroff first

#

exit

#

umount -a

#

poweroff

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:57 PM

#

what is it gona boot into

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:57 PM

#

login

#

hopefully

#

in a tty shell

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:57 PM

#

when do we instal login manager

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:58 PM

#

after you poweroff, unplug the iso usb

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:58 PM

#

echo zephyr login

o yea that thing

#

i remember

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:58 PM

#

we can do that after we boot

#

imo we should check if what we've done already works

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:59 PM

#

how

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 7:59 PM

#

exit && umount -a && poweroff

#

then unplug usb and boot it up

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 7:59 PM

#

btw should i boot into bios and change boot priority

#

actually idk what happens

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 8:00 PM

#

shouldn't have to

#

but if it doesn't work then probably

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 8:00 PM

#

cuz i put the usb at the top and now its not plugged in so does it just disapear

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 8:00 PM

#

shouldn't show up then

haughty perch Nov 21, 2022, 8:00 PM

#

steel rain cuz i put the usb at the top and now its not plugged in so does it just disapear

it'll try to boot the USB but notice it's not there and go on to the next entry in the list

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 8:00 PM

#

yeah

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 8:01 PM

#

im at login thing

#

do i put root or my username or what

haughty perch Nov 21, 2022, 8:02 PM

#

The user you created
You should only really use root if you absolutely have to

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 8:02 PM

#

yeah use your user

#

username and then it will p rompt for pw

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 8:02 PM

#

yea im in

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 8:03 PM

#

okay sorry but I need to brb, check for internet

steel rain Nov 21, 2022, 8:03 PM

#

didnt work

echo zephyr Nov 21, 2022, 8:03 PM

#

okay you need to configure network manager

#[solved] Can't get into arch something about xorg I think
