I follow the arch installation guide and then this tutorial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPLnBPM4DhI.
And for the both installation I made, my computer tells me that on startup.
#[SOLVED] My computer don't start on GRUB and says "Reboot and select proper Boot device"
thorn wren
Is it possible to start on grub ?

Did you install grub for BIOS on a UEFI system or vice versa? Also, in the future, follow the guide on the wiki. Other guides can be outdated or broken, like this one might be.
thorn wren
I install grub for UEFI on a UEFI system
I also follow the guide on the wiki, and i got the same problem
thorn wren
I follow the video instruction :
-I install those packages : grub efibootmgr dosfstools os-prober mtools
-I create the directory /boot/EFI
-I mount /dev/sda1 (my efi boot partition) to /boot/EFI
-I execute this command : grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --bootloader-id=grub_uefi --recheck (the first time I execute this command, I got an error. But I execute this command a second time and I didn't get an error)
-I copy /usr/share/locale/en@quot/LC_MESSAGES/grub.mo to /boot/grub/locale/en.mo
-I ran this command : grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

-I mount /dev/sda1 (my efi boot partition) to /boot/EFI
-I ran this command : grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
why are you mounting to /boot/EFI ?
thorn wren
I have a boot partition and a root partition
crisp lotus
you did the config to the wrong place; it never went to the boot partition.
your grub-install command is also missing the --efi-directory
thorn wren
> -I mount /dev/sda1 (my efi boot partition) to /boot/EFI
> -I ran this command ...
Because it is like this in the video. And when I follow the installation guide, I mounted the boot partition on /boot and I also have the same problem
crisp lotus
I suggest following archwiki rather than the video.
watching installation videos is nice if you feel like a complete beginner, to get an idea of what to expect and how to do things on the commandline.
but then, I recommend just following the archwiki Installation Guide. It is not really difficult.
Still, we can fix your boot
And hope everything else with your installation is fine (:
Do you have another OS on your system that you wish to dual-boot?
thorn wren
I suggest following archwiki rather than the video.
watching installation videos...
I also follow the arch wiki and I got the same error, but I can restart the installation guide and says you what commands I execute to configure grub with this installation.
crisp lotus
OK. If you'd like, let's just check your disk setup and make sure /boot is fine and try booting
crisp lotus
lsblk -f : to check your disk setup
thorn wren
My actual disk setup with the video guide
crisp lotus
mount /dev/mapper/volgroup0-lv_root /mnt
ls -alt /mnt/boot
do not mount the boot partition yet
thorn wren
I have this
thorn wren
ok, I remove the files
thorn wren
crisp lotus
ls -alt /mnt/boot/EFI
thorn wren
crisp lotus
ok let's clear it and reinstall the kernel images and grub properly
rm -r /mnt/boot/*
thorn wren
ok
thorn wren
`mkinitcpio -P`
I have some error

I have some error
Having warnings about missing modules is fine
crisp lotus
ah yeah, if it's only that, no problem.
thorn wren
did you want and install linux-lts?
The video guide recommended to install linux and linux-lts
proven grove
rather than regular linux?
There are errors regarding mainline Linux there too
crisp lotus
ok
proven grove
The video guide recommended to install linux and linux-lts
It can’t hurt to have both, but having only mainline Linux should be just fine for most people
thorn wren
ok
crisp lotus
when installing linux, it does mkinitcpio automatically.
does it show the same errors again?
wait... we did not connect to the internet right?
proven grove
Looks good
thorn wren
wait... we did not connect to the internet right?
oups, I forgot it
thorn wren
ok, I'm now connected to the internet
crisp lotus
are you still in arch-chroot?
proven grove
Looks like they are
crisp lotus
ok, I'm now connected to the internet
after this
thorn wren
are you still in arch-chroot?
I left it and come back
crisp lotus
ok
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --bootloader-id=grub --efi-directory=/boot --recheck
If no errors,
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
tree /boot

as usal I have an error but I can execute the command again and I think, there will be no error
crisp lotus
probably fine
thorn wren
Does I execute the command again ?
crisp lotus
ls -alt /boot
do grub-mkconfig too first
you can install tree if you wish, and get the whole directory structure using tree /boot
it should be bootable now, unless your /etc/default/grub needs more configuration
also let's check fstab
cat /etc/fstab
we have /boot now rather than /boot/EFI, so may need to regenerate it.

the problem is that my screen isn't enough big
crisp lotus
ok :D
if there were no errors with grub-mkconfig, it should be fine
i just have the habit of checking everything
ls -alt /home : should be empty

the problem is that my screen isn't enough big
Not really necessary right now, but for the future, you might find it helpful to know that you can do command | less to be able to scroll the output with the arrow keys.
crisp lotus
nope
ok.
exit : exit chroot
mount /dev/mapper/volgroup0-lv_home /mnt/home
genfstab -U /mnt > /mnt/etc/fstab
cat /mnt/etc/fstab : to check
then can reboot and try it.

... it doesn't work, it doesn't boot on grub
crisp lotus
but you got to grub?
thorn wren
I follow the arch installation guide and then this tutorial : https://www.youtub...
no, it shows me that
and if I start with my USB, it boots on my USB
crisp lotus
does selecting the disk there do the same?
thorn wren
does selecting the disk there do the same?
yes

The "Could not delete variable" warning in grub-install might be related

The "Could not delete variable" warning in grub-install might be related
but it is strange that when I execute a second time the command, I get no error

do you have efibootmgr installed?

yes

what's the laptop model? there might be a specific issue.
BIOS is not detecting the bootloader.

this is a toshiba satellite c 50-b
crisp lotus
everything looks fine.
thorn wren
Do I have to configure my bios ?
crisp lotus
I mean, you can check it.
Check the boot order.
but even with the boot menu selecting the disk, it does not load grub
Satellite C50-B032; this is mentioned as working fine (albeit in 2016) in archwiki
thorn wren
but even with the boot menu selecting the disk, it does not load grub
no
My boot order has the disk on first
crisp lotus
look around, if there is secure boot or fast boot or similar stuff, disable them
but I have no idea why it isn't working :(
still, your boot partition had issues, at least that should not be a problem anymore.
thorn wren
secure boot is already disable
thorn wren
look around, if there is secure boot or fast boot or similar stuff, disable them
i don't find a fast boot but I found the intel turbo boost, do I turn it off
thorn wren
ok
crisp lotus
but I'm gonna go out
