I have read a few articles but I cant get it. I dont know what partition to mount to, and what folders to create

#

@north fossil I dont know what to do

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:42 AM

#

a

#

does your computer uefi

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:43 AM

#

yes

#

it is uefi

#

cause /sys/firmware/efi is a directory

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:44 AM

#

ok

#

do you have an efi partition

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:44 AM

#

the boot partition right?

#

yes

#

its nvme0n1p1

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:44 AM

#

is the root partition mounted on /mnt

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:45 AM

#

can I check it?

#

I think I did mount thr root partition on /mnt

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:45 AM

#

north fossil is the root partition mounted on /mnt

this is the partition that has all the extra space right?

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:45 AM

#

yes

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:46 AM

#

I think its nvme0n1p3 for me

#

p2 is swap

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:46 AM

#

so is it?

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:46 AM

#

yeah its /mnt

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:47 AM

#

do you have arch installed and you only need to install the bootloader

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:47 AM

#

I think I have everything set up. I had installed arch earlier but didnt install the boot loader, so I started a fresh install where I only have the linux firmware, linux and network manager

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:48 AM

#

ok

#

did you get the base package

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:48 AM

#

of grub, yes

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:48 AM

#

no like

#

the base package

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:48 AM

#

yes I did install the base package

#

the literal base package

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:48 AM

#

ok

#

did you get also efibootmgr

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:49 AM

#

yeah I installed it inside chroot

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:49 AM

#

ok

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:49 AM

#

with grub

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:49 AM

#

are you in chroot rn

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:50 AM

#

no I exited out, cause Network manager is in chroot but I cant start it inside chroot cause it says permission denied something

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:50 AM

#

so youre not inside chroot

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:50 AM

#

yep

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:50 AM

#

did you mount the boot partition before?

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:51 AM

#

whats the command for it?

#

i tried to mount it, it said cant find in etc fstab

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:51 AM

#

did you run mount --mkdir /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot before

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:51 AM

#

okay

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:52 AM

#

did you?

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:52 AM

#

north fossil did you?

no, instead of /mnt/boot i gave it a random name

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:52 AM

#

what name

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:52 AM

#

uh

#

just a second

#

you shouldn't do that

#

bad idea

#

mkdir /boot/efi

mount /dev/sdb2 /boot/efi

#

huh

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:53 AM

#

what

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:53 AM

#

this

#

wait

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:54 AM

#

you said /dev/nvme0n1p1 is your efi partition

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:54 AM

#

sdb2 is for regular disks

#

but I changed the partition for me

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:54 AM

#

why /dev/sdb2?

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:54 AM

#

cause the text is from an article

#

what article

#

mkdir /boot/efi

mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /boot/efi

#

this is what I did

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:55 AM

#

ok did you run it outside of chroot

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:56 AM

#

aww fuck, I might've done this:

mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/mydrive and this is outsidr chroot

#

is there a way to check what is in nvme0n1p1?

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:57 AM

#

ok just do umount /dev/nvme0n1p1

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:57 AM

#

okay

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:57 AM

#

did it do something

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:58 AM

#

#

nothing

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:58 AM

#

ok

#

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:58 AM

#

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:58 AM

#

abstract coyote Jun 7, 2023, 6:59 AM

#

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 6:59 AM

north fossil Jun 7, 2023, 7:00 AM
