So i recently got a 1tb ssd for Christmas
I installed it and wanted to move linux over to it
So by re-installing to get it on the 1tb
But turns out it won't detect nvme drives

Yeah that's a problem with the ArchInstall script

#

Are you comfortable with trying to install it manually?

bitter glade Jan 4, 2023, 5:00 AM

#

As long as I can get iwctl and xfce I can work from there

#

Time to read the wiki again

#

(Last time I manually installed DNS screwed me over)

storm arrow Jan 4, 2023, 5:02 AM

#

Do you need some help to go thru the installation page?

bitter glade Jan 4, 2023, 5:03 AM

#

Gonna try it once if not I will be back

storm arrow Jan 4, 2023, 5:03 AM

#

Ping if you do

#

And if you get stuck, don't try to guess

#

Ah

#

Since this is not my primary drive it was not booted to

#

Let's check with f12

#

... it is not there
Grub is my old install
Windows is windows
And EFI USB is the arch usb

#

Unless I missed a step

#

Ah I forgot to install a bootloader

#

Lul

#

Forgot to set root password and made no other users

#

Gonna finish in the morning

#

So I don't annoy anyone at 9:25 with the boot tune

#

Unless is there a default root password

storm arrow Jan 4, 2023, 5:50 AM

#

bitter glade Unless is there a default root password

You'd need to chroot back in and do passwd

bitter glade Jan 4, 2023, 5:51 AM

#

Ik that it will be done tommorow
Then I can see what is possibly broken (9:50 pm over here)

storm arrow Jan 4, 2023, 5:52 AM

#

Ah k

bitter glade Jan 4, 2023, 10:14 AM

#

Okay so I fixed that
But I don't have a DNS

bitter glade Jan 4, 2023, 4:26 PM

#

So uhm if anyone knows what I need to install let me know (I allready have iwd to connect)

simple bridge Jan 4, 2023, 4:41 PM

#

Did you enable the iwd service?

bitter glade Jan 4, 2023, 4:44 PM

#

Yes

#

Uhhh

#

Now wlan0 is not showing up (I installed and "configured" dhcpcd)

#

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_0009c4a7-8b98-4789-ad99-856c1e990b30.jpg

#

Dhcpd and systemd-resolved are enabled

#

Along with iwd

bitter glade Jan 4, 2023, 5:37 PM

#

So uhm any idea what I did wrong

Archinstall is unreliable. 50% chance it breaks

bitter glade Jan 4, 2023, 8:04 PM

#

upper coyote Archinstall is unreliable. 50% chance it breaks

I did not use archinstall in this case (since it wouldn't even let me install to /dev/nvme0n1)
So this is manual

upper coyote Jan 4, 2023, 8:08 PM

#

Whats your wlan model?

#

lspci may help

simple bridge Jan 4, 2023, 8:08 PM

#

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Iwd#Select_DNS_manager

Iwd

#

you may need to do this on the wiki

upper coyote Jan 4, 2023, 8:10 PM

#

Why do you do this manually again?

#

Network manager will work just fine..

bitter glade Jan 4, 2023, 8:33 PM

#

How can I select a dns manager if iwctl cannot even see wlan0

bitter glade Jan 4, 2023, 8:33 PM

#

upper coyote `lspci` may help

It worked during the install phase

upper coyote Jan 4, 2023, 8:34 PM

#

bitter glade It worked during the install phase

Install uses something else for wifi, not sure what

bitter glade Jan 4, 2023, 8:35 PM

#

Odd there is no iwd.conf in my old install

bitter glade Jan 4, 2023, 8:36 PM

#

upper coyote `lspci` may help

Network controller: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz (rev 01)

upper coyote Jan 4, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

bitter glade Network controller: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz (rev 01)

Yeah that should work ootb. Wrong config or missing stuff i guess.

bitter glade Jan 4, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

Any idea what I need to fix

#

Because after enabling dhcpcd and systemd-resolved wlan0 stopped showing up (I rebooted)

#

Gonna try to reboot

#

Worst case scenario
I point grub back to my old install

#

Yeah still no wlan0

Could I just DD it over from mmcblk to nvmen0n1

upper coyote Jan 4, 2023, 8:49 PM

#

bitter glade Could I just DD it over from mmcblk to nvmen0n1

If you want to start over just boot arch usb and use fdisk to make new gpt table

#

It will wipe the whole disk (fast format method)

bitter glade Jan 4, 2023, 8:49 PM

#

Then just dd the mmcblk

#

Right if I were to dd if=/dev/mmcblk of=/dev/nvemn0n1 would it just copy everything over

#

So then just dd the bytes over

bitter glade Jan 4, 2023, 9:27 PM

#

Okay so how would I fix this

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_2e7a19f7-dc7d-477c-b55a-e35ee66d8a84.jpg

#

Ah wait corrected by write

#

Okay so there is a small section (1mb) could I expand that for my swap space

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_dd98bdf9-5115-4cbc-9a90-7aa1625c3469.jpg

#

So how do I expand a partition

#

Wait if I delete a partition won't all the files be gone

#

Time to install grub

#

Odd I installed grub

#

Ah wait I didn't mkinitcpio

#

Since I copied from my old install

#

Ugg

#

Nope

#

I even reinstalled the base linux and linux-firmware packages

#

Because what I did was
Used dd top copy everything from mmcblk
Then used frisk to remove the windows partition, re-create the swap partition and expand the root partition

#

Then pacstraped base linux linux-firmware into the new root

#

(Which has all my files)

Copy it with gparted, it's less likely to fail for size reasons

bitter glade Jan 4, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

It copied allready

#

Lemme try making the partition as bootsble

#

Bootable*

royal vine Jan 4, 2023, 10:13 PM

#

It should just work

#

If it doesn't, it didn't copy right

bitter glade Jan 4, 2023, 10:16 PM

#

But here's the thing I re-made the boot partition

#

So the fact that it is not showing up is weird

bitter glade Jan 4, 2023, 10:33 PM

#

Okay gonna ask this ahead of time
How do I setup the network

royal vine Jan 4, 2023, 10:52 PM

#

bitter glade Okay gonna ask this ahead of time How do I setup the network

ethernet: should just work(?)
wireless cli: install iwd

bitter glade Jan 4, 2023, 10:52 PM

#

royal vine ethernet: should just work(?) wireless cli: install iwd

I did that
But no dns so I couldn't use pacman to install anything

royal vine Jan 4, 2023, 10:55 PM

#

bitter glade I did that But no dns so I couldn't use pacman to install anything

example /etc/resolv.conf

i mean that's where it is on the wiki

#

it's kinda deep but it's expected that you read it once you have that problem

bitter glade Jan 4, 2023, 11:04 PM

Also I just checked my old arch did not have a resolve.conf

royal vine Jan 4, 2023, 11:05 PM

bitter glade Also I just checked my old arch did not have a resolve.conf

iwd network configuration maybe

#

are you wireless or wired?

bitter glade Jan 4, 2023, 11:05 PM

#

Wireless

#

But when I do it I don't have a dns
Did I miss a step to set a dns for iwd

Somehow arch install decided to detect nvme now

bitter glade Somehow arch install decided to detect nvme now

its just unreliable. not recommended by most people here

simple bridge Jan 5, 2023, 12:01 AM

#

that's not really true

storm arrow Jan 5, 2023, 1:36 AM

#

I find after a little practice, it's easy enough to install arch manually that archinstall isn't necessary

simple bridge Jan 5, 2023, 1:45 AM

#

Yeah, but new users don't have practice lol

bitter glade Jan 5, 2023, 1:57 AM

#

well i have tried 4 (iirc) times at this point
and it is always that after reboot there is no DNS
and it seems like all my attempts dont work

#

because i am able to get to iwd networking
but no DNS

simple bridge Jan 5, 2023, 1:58 AM

#

You could try network manager

bitter glade Jan 5, 2023, 2:00 AM

#

true but i allready got it "bootstrapped" with archinstall
and was able to copy my files over
now though
does anyone know how to add Windows boot from another device
(since i have linux on nvmen0 and i am going to overwrite linux on /dev/mmcblk0)

simple bridge Jan 5, 2023, 2:00 AM

#

Add windows boot?

bitter glade Jan 5, 2023, 2:00 AM

#

but on another harddisk

#

since os-prober will not autodetect

simple bridge Jan 5, 2023, 2:01 AM

#

Try mounting window's EFI partition before running grub-mkconfig

#

also, make sure you've enabled os-prober in the GRUB confiug

bitter glade Jan 5, 2023, 2:01 AM

#

gonna quickly wipe a USB and install it brb

#

(installing woe usb)

#

lul chrome just told me "hey i think another computer is using this profile"
i just told it to "yes i know unlock it and let me in"

#

nvm didn't have to add them
just gonna have to reboot to install windows proper
