Can you provide the following information

• Hardware
  • CPU
  • GPU
  • Firmware (UEFI or legacy BIOS)
• bootloader
• kernel (e.g. linux, linux-zen or linux-lts).

[hushed sail]

Cpu is intel i5 13400f

Gpu is rx 7900 xt

Uefi

Grub

I installed linux and linux lts but it uses linux lts

[cerulean gyro]

I hate grub

it always breaks

so hard to fix too

[hushed sail]

This isnt grubs fault tho

[cerulean gyro]

Really?

[hushed sail]

I can do ctrl alt f2

Its not a grub issue

[raven niche]

Is there a higher resolution of this image?

[hushed sail]

I can just type it in

[cerulean gyro]

So, type startx there?

[hushed sail]

In the tty?

[cerulean gyro]

Manually start X from tty

[hushed sail]

Alr

[cerulean gyro]

then start a gnome shell

[raven niche]

Do you mean that you can switch to different TTYs ( virtual consoles)?

[hushed sail]

So i enternstartx

I installed plasma tho

[cerulean gyro]

it might not start if you don't have xterm and xclock

also twm might be needed

xorg-twm from pacman

[hushed sail]

Startx not found

[cerulean gyro]

download xorg-xinit

pacman -S xorg-xinit

[hushed sail]

Target not found

[cerulean gyro]

hell?

[hushed sail]

My bad

[raven niche]

Please upload the journal log since system boot

journalctl -b 0 | zstd | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io

[hushed sail]

I mistyped it

Did startx

Got some errors

Gonna screenshot

[cerulean gyro]

Try from root

[hushed sail]

Alr

Same error

[cerulean gyro]

huh?

[cerulean gyro]

okay so here it's just checking your disk

[hushed sail]

Lemme reboot

Same error

[cerulean gyro]

Show me

Just better quality

[hushed sail]

No screens found

It says that on the logs

[cerulean gyro]

okay your x might be screwed

happened to me on freebsd once

it was a pure hell to fix

[hushed sail]

So what do i do

[cerulean gyro]

i forgot the command to automatically reconfigure X

let me find it

Xorg -configure (from root)

then Xorg -config /root/xorg.conf.new

[cerulean gyro]

then delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf and cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

[hushed sail]

Alr

Same error

[cerulean gyro]

Don't know then

[hushed sail]

Do i have to run configure after doing that

[cerulean gyro]

You'll probably have to change your video driver to legacy UEFI and install a new gpu driver

[hushed sail]

How do i do that

[cerulean gyro]

it's probably just not detecting your gpu (saying that from my FreeBSD experience)

[hushed sail]

The error is that it doesnt find my screen

[cerulean gyro]

it's easier to reinstall arch than to do that

[hushed sail]

I need to download my drivers from a website which i cant rn

[cerulean gyro]

yeah

[hushed sail]

Also it noticed my gpu

[cerulean gyro]

wait can't you just yay them out?

[hushed sail]

Yay what out

[cerulean gyro]

install yay and install the drivers with it

yay is a helper for AUR

[hushed sail]

Ill eat diner rn

[cerulean gyro]

oke

[hushed sail]

Dinner*

[cerulean gyro]

i'll draw in gimp

[hushed sail]

Wait

@cerulean gyro ill use archinstall that includes amd drivers

[cerulean gyro]

you can do that

they fixed all the bugs in archinstall already

[hushed sail]

there are still some bugs

but i dont experience them that much

[distant kayak]

just make sure to configure it

correctly

[hushed sail]

but i wont be able to use lvm

[distant kayak]

make sure the options are what you really want

[hushed sail]

i tried everything to avoid archinstall

this is the only justified use

[vapid mist]

Is gdm enabled

[hushed sail]

bruh xorg was broken

we even said it
