it sees the usb that i boot from but not the empty usb

novel sigil
#

I had the same issue i can't really explain why but i found a "fix" for it

torpid gyro
#

oo

#

what is it

novel sigil
#

Eariler arch didn't detect my extra ssd and what i did was install arch on the main machine and then do all the things via the machine

#

I will look if other people got the same issues and let you know if there is a better fix for it

torpid gyro
#

say what

#

so u installed arch in ur system so u could install arch in other ssd

novel sigil
#

The story is much longer my laptop broke down and i bought a new one, I just took out the ssd from the broken laptop and added it in the extra ssd slot

torpid gyro
#

i want to have a arch usb tho

novel sigil
#

The usb didn't detect the ssd so i wasn't able to dd the drive to my main drive

torpid gyro
#

i want it to go everywhere with me

novel sigil
#

Wait i will grab the packages

torpid gyro
#

yeah BUT ARCH DOESNT FUCKİNF SEE İT

novel sigil
#

You got linux installed in the main drive?

torpid gyro
#

no

novel sigil
#

Hmm i'm pretty sure windows won't work really good with that but lets see if we are able to do something

torpid gyro
#

iam gonna format my usb to fat32 maybe it will work

#

maybe it doesnt see ntfs drives

novel sigil
#

It should see a drive no matter the format

#

If it doesn't it means the drive is unplugged

torpid gyro
#

it isnt tho

#

idk why but the bios sees the usb as a boot drive

#

and when i try to boot into it nothing happens

novel sigil
#

Exactly the same problem i've had

torpid gyro
#

(this used to be a fedora live iso usb)

#

(fuck fedora btw)

novel sigil
urban tree
novel sigil
#

He doesn't have linux installed on the main machine though

#

I think he can use dd if he installed git bash

urban tree
#

He doesn’t need it installed to make a portable USB installation.

torpid gyro
#

bro i just want to use archinstall dont try to make me to do something else

#

iam not gonna go through another guide i just want archinstall to see the motherufukcjfnfn usb

novel sigil
#

So here is what i suggest doing

novel sigil
#

You can see "bootstrap"

torpid gyro
#

isnt there supposed to be like rather a easy solution

novel sigil
#

Supposed to be

torpid gyro
#

like the usb is just not detected

Ari RERA 43 received a thank you cookie!

novel sigil
#

That's the rootfs

torpid gyro
#

xd

novel sigil
#

I'm still really confused on what you want to do, Judging by the text i think you are supposed to be creating a live usb?

torpid gyro
#

bro i just want archinstall to see my usb dont ask me questions i ask the questions

novel sigil
#

So you got two usb's ?

torpid gyro
#

yes

novel sigil
#

And in one you have arch iso flashed

torpid gyro
#

one for arch iso and one for arch to be installed on

torpid gyro
#

its in the image

novel sigil
#

Well starting off arch doesn't even detect the usb and i honestly have no clue there is a way you can do this

#

You can install some other distro on the usb

#

I meant

#

Like

#

THe live one

#

And use the bootstrap to install on the other usb

torpid gyro
#

i dont think so

#

then why did it show the live iso usb

novel sigil
#

Every distro can be portable

novel sigil
#

Archinstall should detect all the drives

torpid gyro
torpid gyro
novel sigil
#

I meant on the live usb

#

Instead of archinstall replace it with some other distro

#

And that should detect the drive

torpid gyro
#

other distros dont fit

novel sigil
#

From there we use archbootstrap to install on the other usb

torpid gyro
#

the usb is 1 gb

novel sigil
blazing aspen
#

1 gb

#

wtf dude

novel sigil
#

Bruhh 1 GB for real?

torpid gyro
#

yeah

#

the arch install fits in it

#

no

blazing aspen
#

im dying rn

novel sigil
#

So i guess we might have to find an another way for it now, or an another distro

torpid gyro
#

no

#

it only for arch install

#

iso

#

not for daily use

novel sigil
#

Dude you are getting arch no matter what on the usb

#

We are gonna be using bootstrap

blazing aspen
#

but arch wont install on a 1 gb usb

novel sigil
torpid gyro
#

wait how do i tell u this

novel sigil
#

He said that the 1gb usb was for arch install

#

And using that usb he is trying to install on an another usb

torpid gyro
#

İAM GONNA İNSTALL ARCH ON MY 16 GB USB WİTH THE ARCHİSO İ HAVE ON MY 1 GB USB

#

DO U UNDER STAND @blazing aspen

blazing aspen
#

okay seems fair

novel sigil
#

Bro really

#

He is here because it didn't work

torpid gyro
#

the guide doesnt FUCKİNG TELL ME HOW TO SEE USBS DOES İT

blazing aspen
#

they can't see the drive lol

#

bro wants to neofetch on his school pc

torpid gyro
#

EXACTLY

blazing aspen
#

novel sigil
#

@torpid gyro I'm pretty sure we can figure this out

#

Are you using windows on the main machine?

torpid gyro
#

nah i use freebsd

#

YEAH NO SHİT İ USE WİNDOWS

#

iam sorry iam just frustrated

novel sigil
#

Yea we totally thought you would be using windows

torpid gyro
#

i told him like 5 sec ago

#

i use windows

torpid gyro
novel sigil
#

So we use windows to install it i guess

#

I just have to find out how to gen a efi partition with it

torpid gyro
#

#

let the channel be here

novel sigil
#

Bro @carmine barn wait

#

I'm trying to figure out what i should do

blazing aspen
#

I have an idea

novel sigil
#

I found a possible way

novel sigil
blazing aspen
#

use vm and then plug in the usb

torpid gyro
#

@blazing aspen u look trustworthy pls tell

blazing aspen
#

try doing that

torpid gyro
#

i can do that

blazing aspen
#

yeah

torpid gyro
#

AYO THAT MAKES SENSE

novel sigil
#

Yea shit i forgot that was a thing

torpid gyro
#

THANK U SO MUCH

blazing aspen
#

just make sure the vm can see the usb stick

torpid gyro
#

@blazing aspen can u help me pleade

novel sigil
#

Don't mark this solved until you are able to install the thing onto the usb

blazing aspen
#

idk I dont want to help you mess with the main system with windoz on it lol

torpid gyro
#

come to dm

blazing aspen
#

no dms please

#

we can do it here

torpid gyro
#

bro whyyyy

#

i need to screensharw

novel sigil
#

There are voice channels in this place

torpid gyro
#

i dont know how to use vm s that mucb

#

aight

blazing aspen
#

im bad with vms bro I do docker

novel sigil
#

You don't hvae to screenshare

urban tree
novel sigil
#

I suggest using vmware since it's the easiest

#

Virtual box should work but it's kinda hard to work with

blazing aspen
#

I dont have a mic rn

#

virtual box better

novel sigil
#

@blazing aspen @torpid gyro While you guys are doing the vm install i will try to see why archinstall is like this

blazing aspen
#

we doing archinstall in a vm

#

nothing crazy

novel sigil
#

Yea but archinstall shouldn't be not detecting extra usb's

#

I'm assuming it's an issue with the namespace and stuff

blazing aspen
#

that should prob work

novel sigil
blazing aspen
#

bro

#

BRO

#

ITS NTFS

novel sigil
#

Look below

#

They changed RST to AHCI in the bios

torpid gyro
#

bro u could have told me that earlier

#

i put that in the title

#

especially

blazing aspen
#

yeah mb didnt see

torpid gyro
#

its ok

novel sigil
#

I was just lookin around and found this thing

#

Intel RST ofc

blazing aspen
#

fat32 should work

novel sigil
#

Well intel RST is a special type of thing, It's like the whole driver thing

#

Without it you wouldn't be able to see the drive

blazing aspen
#

yeah use vm lol imagine selecting the wrong drive

novel sigil
#

I pretty much had to play hot potato with the partitions

#

I managed to do really weird shit and fuck it up hard as hell

blazing aspen
#

use grub

#

its better

novel sigil
#

So my objective was to use the arch usb to copy the partitions from my original ssd into the new one and use the original as an extra ssd

#

And archinstall didn't detect my original ssd

blazing aspen
#

its ignoring the drive

#

try the other format one

torpid gyro
#

aight

novel sigil
#

So what i did was install arch on the main drive and booted into it and then i copied all the files from my ssd to my main drive

#

And it for some reason booted into the external ssd because they had the same uuid's

blazing aspen
#

I literally made my 10 year old laptop a server 2 days ago and I didnt have any error (it had win10)

novel sigil
#

I used that as a chance wiped out all of the things in my main drive and copied it again because my root was in partition2 and i wanted it as 1 for reasons after that it again booted into the ssd

#

So i ended up having to change my uuid's of partitions

#

And finally it worked

torpid gyro
#

why is arch bullying my usb

blazing aspen
#

can you send me that text

Screenshot_20230612_180458.png
torpid gyro
#

ill try

novel sigil
#

I suggest trying the uefi method now

#

That would prolly fix it faster

blazing aspen
#

I dont understand how he was able to see the 1 gb usb and not the one he's trying to install it on 💀

torpid gyro
#

bro why did u left

blazing aspen
#

you wasn't streaming?

#

@torpid gyro

torpid gyro
#

i hate redditors trying to protest

#

i thought i found the solution

blazing aspen
#

fr

torpid gyro
#

but arch is private

#

like what do u think u are fucking riots

#

do u really think u can change

#

reddits opinion

blazing aspen
#

at this point I think that your usb doesnt support or miss something

torpid gyro
#

idk

blazing aspen
#

like I have no idea how are you able to see the 1 gb stick

#

you got another usb?

novel sigil
#

Either your usb is messed up or just straight up faulty

blazing aspen
#

not faulty, it shows on windows

novel sigil
#

It shows but who knows if it's got damaged sectors

blazing aspen
#

yeah that could be one of the issue

torpid gyro
#

nah its a arch problem

#

it aint fixed either

blazing aspen
#

send the reddit link

torpid gyro
#

also vm doesnt work too

blazing aspen
#

NO WAY

#

LMAO

#

bro web.archive it

torpid gyro
#

(i used web archive because stupid obese redditors are protesting)

blazing aspen
#

torpid gyro
#

(and archlinux is "going dark" in a way of protest)

#

💀

blazing aspen
#

💀 💀

#

torpid gyro
blazing aspen
#

oh damn

torpid gyro
#

bro if i had another one then i would have put the arch iso on a 1 gb usb 💀

blazing aspen
#

idk at this point I think usb sticks sell for free lol

#

they getting cheaper and cheaper

torpid gyro
#

well in my country it gets even more expensive

#

because of severe inflation

#

(i live in turkey)

blazing aspen
#

eh turkey

#

expected

#

its like 3 bucks for me for a 8 gb stick

torpid gyro
#

yeah with 3 bucks in turkey u could buy everything 💀

#

and thats saying something

blazing aspen
#

damn

torpid gyro
#

u could buy like a 70 cm chicken shwarma

#

with extra hot hatay sauce

blazing aspen
#

3$ ARE YOU KIDDING ME

torpid gyro
#

yes

#

everythings cheap

#

torpid gyro
#

blazing aspen
#

turkey is great

torpid gyro
#

erdogan won again but he changed the economy minister

#

and he is a good one too

#

but his message made all hopes fall

#

he said " the situation is worse then expected"

#

💀

blazing aspen
#

bro was expecting it

torpid gyro
#

yep

#

hes brutally honest but a good economist

#

and 1 dolar is 25 liras

#

and when erdogan first came and ruled the country and the economy good

#

1 dolar was

#

2 liras...

blazing aspen
#

this 10 year old laptop which I switched to arch is doing great as a server, I literally installed it over windows and got no errors

blazing aspen
torpid gyro
#

from the win disk manager

this is all fedoras fault

I HATE FEDORA

blazing aspen
#

try gparted

torpid gyro
#

nah

blazing aspen
#

uh idk I recommend using gparted for all partitions in a disk

torpid gyro
#

no no

#

i mean

blazing aspen
#

its easy and works

torpid gyro
#

how do i do the stuff in archinstall

#

like

#

/boot

#

/root

#

stuff like that

#

theres no gui i dont know how to do it

blazing aspen
#

just use the option "wipe all partition and do your own thing" option

torpid gyro
#

...

calm kettleBOT
#

Too few arguments for command note!
Usage: .note <name>

torpid gyro

blazing aspen
#

backup data before doing anything

torpid gyro
blazing aspen
torpid gyro

blazing aspen
#

oh damn

lol

blazing aspen
#

HAHAHAAH LMAOI

#

@torpid gyro

#

how bout you take your data to your main pc for temp

#

and then install arch on the hard drive

#

and then put all the data back

torpid gyro
#

the data İS from the main pc

#

like thats the point

#

i dont think of putting it back there cuz

#

iam probably going to format the drives that are in my computer

#

and i know how retarded iam

#

and iam going to forget the files in the main pc

#

and delete them when i am formatting the pc

torpid gyro
#

and when i mostly understand it

#

i am going to make it my daily drive

it'll close itself after sometime, just edit the start of the title to say either [solved] or [unresolvable] at the start, and in a day or two it'll archive unless it gets bumped

torpid gyro
#

[unresolvable] archinstall doesnt see usb?

novel sigil
#

@torpid gyro What happened?

torpid gyro
#

one of these happened

#

1- a normal arch problem

#

2- the usb is corrupted

#

idk which one

novel sigil
#

Welp i have a possible solution, How about we try loading RST drivers?, I'm gonna get my live usb and see if the issue exists then i will do RST driver stuff

torpid gyro
#

nah

#

iam gonna install it on my

#

extra hard drive

#

only problem is

#

how do i do manual partitioning on arch

novel sigil
#

cfdisk

#

I will try doing stuff

#

I wasn't able to recreate the issue again

#

This time i used ventoy boot so something might have been weird

#

Just try using arch iso with ventoy

#

There is a slight chance it may work because it does for me

blazing aspen
#

idk I think it wont change much

#

or change anything

novel sigil
#

It kinda worked for me, have no clue how and why, Here is what i think went wrong either the usb's are fighting for the name "sda" or "sdb"

#

Archusb pretty much copies itself to ram these days and has become kinda buggy and slow in the process

#

We should at minimum test if these issues are happening with the older arch version

#

@torpid gyro Have you tried the following disconnecting the usb after it's copied to ram and maybe swap the usb ports after that

#

Swap as in remove the arch iso usb and put the usb that you wanna install arch on the same port you booted arch iso off

urban tree
#

Oh btw, I don’t know if when you’re plugging in the USB you want to install to, but the Arch ISO only detects new drives on boot.

#

At least that was the case the last time I checked
