stuck in bootloader

[keen cove]

Please can someone help

[karmic oar]

seems like a graphics driver issue

I assume this is after hitting arch in grub menu?

[keen cove]

I unmount everything before reboot

[keen cove]

So I boot and I get arch. Then I press enter and stuck in loader

[karmic oar]

boot in arch with nomodeset kernel parameter
install hw-probe
https://github.com/linuxhw/hw-probe
sudo -E hw-probe -all -upload

Bruhhh

Hardware info public 😭

This is sometimes a bug that could happen in the event of resetting after a kernel update. Did you try the fallback option in advanced options?

Like in the GRUB menu

[keen cove]

I can try this one now one sec

[karmic oar]

could just try to find all of the drivers you need manually instead

yeah try that out first

[keen cove]

Just tried and back to the bootloader, nothing changing

Stuck

[burnt spruce]

Then it's a driver issue..

[keen cove]

I have amd cpu igpu Radeon graphics

[karmic oar]

Add the nomodeset kernel parameter and see if it boots

I presume you're on GRUB?

[keen cove]

how do I do this one?

[karmic oar]

what bootloader are you on

[keen cove]

I will boot into grub now one sec

[karmic oar]

if it's grub then you can press e

[keen cove]

In fall back rn

[karmic oar]

find a line that says something like /something/vmlinuz quiet

after quiet add nomodeset

see if system boots

[burnt spruce]

Also here's some good advice, always back up your system with timeshift.

[karmic oar]

add nomodeset to the end of the line that says linux /...

[keen cove]

Alright, I write it after the ...?

And how can I save it?

Like this?

[karmic oar]

not literally the ...

the line that says linux /path/to/vmlinuz that has all the kernel params

I'm not writing it out because it's too long

add it to the end of that line

[keen cove]

I don't see

Path/to

I just see

[karmic oar]

yeah it isn't meant to be literal

[keen cove]

Linux /vmlinuz

[karmic oar]

/path/to/something doesn't mean that's the path

[keen cove]

Ok

[karmic oar]

it means path to the something

so the line starting with linux followed by the path to linux-lts

[keen cove]

How can I save?

[karmic oar]

add nomodeset to the end of it

[keen cove]

Ok

Yes

[karmic oar]

Ctrl x or f10 to boot

[karmic oar]

yes

[keen cove]

Ok

[karmic oar]

after that, start installing the drivers for your machine

if you're on Nvidia then pacman -S nvidia-lts

[keen cove]

I'm pressing f10 nothing happening

[karmic oar]

try Ctrl x

[keen cove]

Also I got amd gpu and amd I gpu

[karmic oar]

uh

[keen cove]

Also nothing

[karmic oar]

your grub is messed up or something because that should be the bind to boot

what does it say at the bottom of the screen

it should say some keybind and then 'to boot'

[karmic oar]

yeah

idk maybe ur grub is messed up

Ctrl x should work

[keen cove]

Ctrl X doing nothing

[karmic oar]

yeah idk then

just tap power key and reinstall grub

[keen cove]

How do I do this

[karmic oar]

wdym

[keen cove]

Reinstall grub

[karmic oar]

just install it again over the old grub

the same way you installed it

.aw grub

[karmic oar]

for amd drivers
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#AMD

[keen cove]

Uhhh

Can't find command grub install

[torpid crow]

Chroot in via the iso

[keen cove]

I need to boot from usb again?

[torpid crow]

It’ll be easier

Chroot in with the boot partition mounted, then wipe the boot partition, reinstall grub to the partition, reconfigure grub, then reinstall the kernel

Well wipe it of grub at least

If you use it for windows don’t wipe that stuff

[keen cove]

Cool

For now I'm thinking of taking a break

Maybe I'll try some other time

[torpid crow]

Having skimmed some of the above, before proceeding, what kernel, gpu drivers and gpu are you using?
E.g. if you’re using an nvidia card with linux-lts, you’ll want nvidia-lts installed. You would also want the linux-headers-lts package (think that’s the name, lts might be in the middle if not).

[pseudo urchin]

Why not try reinstalling? It's what I'd do

[torpid crow]

Reinstalling what?

[keen cove]

Nope, I have a laptop using integrated amd graphic s

[torpid crow]

What kernel are you using?

[keen cove]

Linux lts

[torpid crow]

Okay, and do you have the lts headers, amd-ucode, linux-firmware packages installed?

[keen cove]

AMD ucode no

What are Linux firmware packages ? Just to check

[torpid crow]

Those are three packages I’m saying you should make sure are installed

Just literally “linux-firmware”

[keen cove]

Ok I think I installed 1/3 of those

[torpid crow]

Make sure all three are installed

I copied this video

[torpid crow]

I don’t know what that is

Arch Wiki: Installation guide

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide

[keen cove]

I'm confused on what to do, since now I installed arch on SSD but now I need to boot from USB again

[torpid crow]

That’s the installation guide

[keen cove]

Neither do I know how to mount unmounted I just followed video

[keen cove]

Yeah that's a useless guide

It's very difficult

[torpid crow]

No it’s not

[keen cove]

Hence videos exist

[torpid crow]

You just need to read the page, it explains everything in detail

Yes it is long, but the wiki is a great resource you should get into the habit of using

And then if there is something you don’t understand on it feel free to ask questions

Do you have the right amd driver installed?
