[ SOLVED ] Booting Arch leads to… | Arch Linux Community | Page 1

#

Just installed Linux Arch, it said to remove the usb and reboot, so I followed it and now When I boot Arch it leads to the message displayed in the photo. The Alt + Function keys do not respond and thus doesn’t allow me to use the little console thingy. I do have a Nvidia card and read it’s possibly something to do with the Nvidia software I have installed? But this is my first time using Linux so is it possible I did something wrong when installing and should I do it again?

Did you make sure to follow the wiki properly and also did you install any drivers?

#

Also are you using grub?

I used this tutorial to install didn’t know there was a wiki in all honesty, I watched the install download nvidia drivers, yes It is grub

I clicked full install so it downloaded lots of things

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 7:37 PM

#

You should almost never follow external guides

#

The wiki is the place to go

#

Since you didn't follow it, now it will be harder to pin point what went wrong

patent brook May 31, 2023, 7:37 PM

#

My bad should I just re do the install but follow the wiki this time ?

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 7:38 PM

#

Honestly I tend to avoid telling people to reinstall and instead fixing things

#

So we can try

#

Do you still have your usb with the arch iso?

patent brook May 31, 2023, 7:38 PM

#

Yes

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 7:38 PM

#

Okay you will need to chroot into your system to fix things

#

I will guide you through it

patent brook May 31, 2023, 7:38 PM

#

Thanks mate

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 7:38 PM

#

just boot from the usb for now

patent brook May 31, 2023, 7:38 PM

#

Sure

#

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 7:40 PM

#

yes press enter on the first entry

#

once booted send the output of the command lsblk

patent brook May 31, 2023, 7:40 PM

#

Okay will do

#

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 7:42 PM

#

On which disk did you perform your installation

#

sda or sdb

#

Assuming sda

patent brook May 31, 2023, 7:43 PM

#

I didn’t pick the installer did, by looking I’d guess sdb it has more partitions

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 7:44 PM

#

I doubt that since the layout is weird

patent brook May 31, 2023, 7:44 PM

#

Oh alright

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 7:44 PM

#

do mount /dev/sda3 /mnt

#

then do ls /mnt

#

and post the output here

patent brook May 31, 2023, 7:45 PM

#

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 7:45 PM

#

this should be your installation

#

post the output of cat /mnt/etc/fstab

patent brook May 31, 2023, 7:46 PM

#

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 7:46 PM

#

Yeah alright

#

Btw what do you use your second disk for

patent brook May 31, 2023, 7:47 PM

#

It was just more storage when I had windows

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 7:47 PM

#

Alright

#

anyway

#

mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot

patent brook May 31, 2023, 7:47 PM

#

Done

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 7:47 PM

#

now do arch-chroot /mnt

patent brook May 31, 2023, 7:48 PM

#

Done

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 7:49 PM

#

do journalctl -b -1 |& curl --data-binary @- https://paste.rs

#

Then paste the link here

#

also do pacman -Q | grep nvidia and post the output here

patent brook May 31, 2023, 7:51 PM

#

vernal narwhal do ```journalctl -b -1 |& curl --data-binary @- https://paste.rs```

Just went to a new line and is now blinking

#

Did I type it wrong or does it take time to load

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 7:51 PM

#

Oh wait my bad, i'm assuming you didn't connect to the internet

#

right?

patent brook May 31, 2023, 7:52 PM

#

I have WiFi as far as I’m aware other wise how would I installed everything before

#

Got Ethernet cable in

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 7:52 PM

#

patent brook Got Ethernet cable in

do ping archlinux.org

#

what does it output

patent brook May 31, 2023, 7:53 PM

#

#

How do I stop it from filling my screen

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 7:53 PM

#

Do crtl + c

patent brook May 31, 2023, 7:53 PM

#

Thanks

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 7:53 PM

#

to stop the commannd

#

Okay so you have a connection

#

Try the command again

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 7:54 PM

#

vernal narwhal do ```journalctl -b -1 |& curl --data-binary @- https://paste.rs```

this one

patent brook May 31, 2023, 7:54 PM

#

Okay

#

Doing the same thing as last time just blinking on a new line

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 7:56 PM

#

huh, works fine for me thonk

patent brook May 31, 2023, 7:56 PM

#

I must of made a typo

#

But I cant see where

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 7:56 PM

#

don't think so

#

Alright try this instead journalctl -b -1 |& curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io

patent brook May 31, 2023, 7:57 PM

#

Okay

#

http://ix.io/4xc9

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 7:59 PM

#

dunno why the other one didn't work

#

anyway post the other command I gave you as well

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 7:59 PM

#

vernal narwhal also do `pacman -Q | grep nvidia` and post the output here

^

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:00 PM

#

#

Is that the version of the nvidia driver I have?

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:00 PM

#

Yes

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:00 PM

#

Alright

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:00 PM

#

This is not going to work for your card

#

your card is older

#

It's not supported by this driver

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:00 PM

#

Yeah thought it was something to do with the software

#

Do I need to downgrade or install a different driver?

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:01 PM

#

different driver

#

give me a sec

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:01 PM

#

Alright no worries thank you

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:02 PM

#

Btw you used the archinstall script right?

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:02 PM

#

Yes

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:02 PM

#

Okay did you choose a desktop environment?

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:02 PM

#

KDE I’m pretty sure

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:02 PM

#

Alright

#

Pretty sure you can just uninstall the nvidia driver and use nouveau just to boot for now.

#

You can try that

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:03 PM

#

What are the commands to do this?

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:03 PM

#

pacman -Rns nvidia

#

Also do a full system upgrade when you're done with pacman -Syu

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:05 PM

#

Do it now I’ve uninstalled nvidia?

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:05 PM

#

patent brook Do it now I’ve uninstalled nvidia?

Yes with the first command

#

now do the second to do a full system upgrade

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:05 PM

#

Done

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:05 PM

#

Okay

#

Now type exit

#

and type reboot

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:06 PM

#

Do I not need to do the other driver first?

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:06 PM

#

It's built into the kernel

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:06 PM

#

Oh okay thanks

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:06 PM

#

Once you boot we can install the driver that you need

#

Just to get the system to boot for now we use the nouveau driver temporarily :P

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:06 PM

#

Sure thing it’s just rebooting now

#

Didn’t work I’ve still got the message

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:07 PM

#

Still stuck like the first pic?

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:07 PM

#

Yes same numbers and everything

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:07 PM

#

Can you press ctrl + alt + any number from 2 to 6

#

See if switches you to a different tty

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:08 PM

#

Non of them worked

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:08 PM

#

Weird

#

Well

#

You need to boot from the usb again

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:08 PM

#

Okay

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:09 PM

#

and do the first steps again:

mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot
arch-chroot /mnt```

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:10 PM

#

Okay it’s just loading now

#

Done all of them

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:12 PM

#

Okay

#

just a sec

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:12 PM

#

Sure thing

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:13 PM

#

Do cat /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

#

and post the output

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:14 PM

#

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:15 PM

#

Ok looks fine

#

journalctl -b -1 |& curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io

#

Do this again and send the link

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:16 PM

#

http://ix.io/4xcg

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:19 PM

#

vernal narwhal `pacman -Rns nvidia`

did you do this command?

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:20 PM

#

Shall I do it again?

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:20 PM

#

Just asking, did it run successfully without any errors

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:20 PM

#

Yes

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:20 PM

#

do pacman -Q | grep nvidia again

#

What's the output

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:21 PM

#

nvidia-utilis 530.41.03-1

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:21 PM

#

Just that?

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:21 PM

#

Yes

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:22 PM

#

Weird, it must have been installed explicitly and not as a dependency since uninstalling the nvidia package should have removed this as well

#

Okay do pacman -Rns nvidia-utils

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:23 PM

#

Okay

#

Done, no errors.

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:24 PM

#

do pacman -Q | grep xorg and show the output

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:24 PM

#

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:25 PM

#

Alright if i'm not mistaken this time it should boot

#

exit and then reboot

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:25 PM

#

Okay do I take the usb out at all?

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:25 PM

#

No need for now

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:25 PM

#

Alright

vernal narwhal May 31, 2023, 8:25 PM

#

Let's make sure everything works first because if it doesn't you'll need to use it again

patent brook May 31, 2023, 8:26 PM

#

Yeah okay

#

No same message

#

No

#

Nvm

#

There was a short arch loading screen now it’s showing up again
