Network unavailable

[merry relic]

try "sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager"

[grizzled geyser]

@grizzled geyser no space

[grizzled geyser]

It says the same thing

[merry relic]

it's "NetworkManager" not "networkmanager"

[grizzled geyser]

Yeah I retyped it

@grizzled geyser pacman -Q NetworkManager

[grizzled geyser]

It said “error: package ‘NetworkManager’ was not found.

[merry relic]

If you don't have NetworkManager installed you will have to chroot back into the system and install it that way

[grizzled geyser]

How do I do that

@grizzled geyser reboot back into the iso

[grizzled geyser]

And reinstall?

@grizzled geyser no

tell us when you are in it

Okay

@grizzled geyser ?

@grizzled geyser that's not the iso

[merry relic]

I've never seen that in the iso

Oh, plug in the usb that you used and then change bios order the same way you did to install in the first place

[grizzled geyser]

this

It’s loading

What now? I’m in the grub menu

Just a question, once I’m in the chroot menu I’ll type in the command above to install network settings right?

[merry relic]

You should be able to just select the thing that's automatically highlighted or it will do it automatically if you don't change it

[grizzled geyser]

@grizzled geyser not yet

[grizzled geyser]

It took me to the download page

Install thing

Because I left the menu unattended

[merry relic]

that's the correct thing, run "lsblk" I think or fdisk -l and give the output

[tribal schooner]

You forgot to install network manager during your install process.

[grizzled geyser]

Yes

[grizzled geyser]

Alright I’ll do it in a sec

[merry relic]

k

[grizzled geyser]

@merry relic

mount /dev/sdXY /mnt

@grizzled geyser

[merry relic]

mount /dev/nvme0n1p3 /mnt

then arch-chroot /mnt

actually, before that make connect to internet and then do the previous steps

[grizzled geyser]

Okay

[merry relic]

after that run pacman -S networkmanager and then enable it with sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager

[grizzled geyser]

It says mount point doesn’t exist for this one

I connected to WiFi, everything worked up until that step

[merry relic]

hmm, what was the error message?

[merry relic]

give me a sec, I'm going to chroot into my system to see if I'm doing something wrong

[grizzled geyser]

Alright

@merry relic https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Chroot

[merry relic]

@grizzled geyser Do you happen to know which partiton is your root partition

After chrooting on my system I did the same thing and it worked just fine

[grizzled geyser]

Um, I assume it would be the largest one. Do you think it’s another one?

Maybe I could just reinstall

And then once I reach chroot

I’ll do the stuff

[merry relic]

With arch linux you will eventually need to chroot sometime so I would recommend getting the hang of it now

Arch doesn't break often (maybe once a year) but it most likely will break sometime

[grizzled geyser]

Ah

[grizzled geyser]

I’m don’t remember which was my root partition though

[merry relic]

k, I think /dev/nvme0n1p3 is correct, I've occasionally had some weird problems with it so try unmounting it and then mounting it again with umount /mnt and mount it with mount /dev/nvme0n1p3 /mnt

then arch-chroot /mnt again

[grizzled geyser]

It didn’t work

If it’s not correct should I just try the other partition

[merry relic]

based of off fdisk it's possible that it did a miserable job with partitioning so try /dev/nvme0n1p2 and umount /dev/nvme0n1p3

[grizzled geyser]

Okay

It didn’t work on that one either

Maybe something went wrong during the install

I used the guided install by the way

[merry relic]

archlinstall is infamous for being horrible so it's possible, I could also be doing something wrong

[grizzled geyser]

try sda instead of nvme

[grizzled geyser]

Doesn’t work

[grizzled geyser]

Hmmm, maybe I’ll just do it

Then at the end when I get the option to chroot I can install network stuff there

I feel like something isn’t working properly

Unless you have another idea

[merry relic]

It would be a good learning experience so sure, I recommend these resources:

Distrotube's video on installing arch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQgyW10xD8s
Gentoo install guide (yes, this actually works): https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:Main_Page

[grizzled geyser]

Yeah I think I’ll install manually

@grizzled geyser what de/wm are you going to pick?

[grizzled geyser]

Gnome

[grizzled geyser]

gnome?

[grizzled geyser]

Yeah

[merry relic]

I personally use gnome, it's a good choise

[grizzled geyser]

@grizzled geyser

... solved
