restive orbit after using windows for so many years i installed linux mint and then i tried to...

what have you got on the USB to be clear, is it the archiso?

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 9:51 PM

#

just arch (sorry if this a dumb thing to say )

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 9:51 PM

#

I'm fairly confused about what you've done, did you try to install arch, or is this grub just from the usb?

#

also is secure boot disabled?

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 9:52 PM

#

i just download it from the website and flashed using rufus just the same thing i did with mint and worked dont know why not for arch

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 9:52 PM

#

turbid marten I'm fairly confused about what you've done, did you try to install arch, or is t...

just f12 and choose the usb and i get this (in the picture)

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 9:53 PM

#

where did you download arch from?

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 9:54 PM

#

from https://archlinux.org/download/

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 9:54 PM

#

mirror or magnet link to torrent?

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 9:54 PM

#

and used uttorent

#

torrent

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 9:54 PM

#

and checked the checksums match?

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 9:54 PM

#

what is that

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 9:54 PM

#

what OS are you using, windows or mint?

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 9:55 PM

#

mint i clearly remember i chose the second option when i installed mint to deleat windowns

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 9:55 PM

#

okay, in terminal you want to do the checksum, one second

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 9:55 PM

#

ok wait

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 9:57 PM

#

sha256sum <iso> if you're not in the directory, include the full path

#

e.g. sha256sum ~/Downloads/archlinux.iso or whatever

#

compare the output to what's on the downloads page

#

https://archlinux.org/download/

#

then remake the USB, but use ventoy this time

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 9:59 PM

#

ok where should i write this sha256sum <iso>

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 9:59 PM

#

you install the ventoy package, which then allows you to install ventoy to the usb, and then drag the iso onto the second partition on the usb

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 9:59 PM

#

restive orbit ok where should i write this sha256sum <iso>

terminal

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 9:59 PM

#

and also that checksum is not working

#

its says command not found

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 9:59 PM

#

hmmm, let me see how to do it on mint

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 9:59 PM

#

but suggest something called checksub

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:01 PM

#

oh killer will know which package might be needed

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:02 PM

#

can i just wipe out mint

#

since i think this is due to me trying to have multiple os or something

limber thistle Jan 10, 2024, 10:03 PM

#

@restive orbit sha256sum -b <iso>

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:03 PM

#

ok

#

its says
bash : syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:04 PM

#

restive orbit its says bash : syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'

show us?

limber thistle Jan 10, 2024, 10:04 PM

#

@restive orbit can you screenshot how you are checking

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:05 PM

#

ok wait

#

WhatsApp_Image_2024-01-10_at_23.10.27_458f03d9.jpg

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:07 PM

#

lol

#

your iso file is not called <iso> is it now 😛

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:07 PM

#

what

limber thistle Jan 10, 2024, 10:07 PM

#

@restive orbit you need to specify the iso

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:07 PM

#

<iso> is to be replaced with the actual iso file...

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:07 PM

#

oh how

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:08 PM

#

where is your iso?

#

what directory?

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:08 PM

#

i'm so dumb sorry i'm just two week in this linux

limber thistle Jan 10, 2024, 10:08 PM

#

cd /path/to/iso

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:08 PM

#

limber thistle cd /path/to/iso

I'll show them both doing it that way and doing the full path

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:09 PM

#

turbid marten what directory?

Downloads? Documents? just home?

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:09 PM

#

i really dont know what you guys are talking about

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:09 PM

#

the arch iso was downloaded on mint right?

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:09 PM

#

idk

#

how can i know tho

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:10 PM

#

when you made the usb with the arch iso, what operating system were you using?

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:10 PM

#

windows from my other pc

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:10 PM

#

ahhhhh, okay

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:10 PM

#

windows 10

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:10 PM

#

do you still have windows 10?

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:10 PM

#

yes in my other pc

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:11 PM

#

okay

#

you can either go to that PC, or you can download the ISO to your mint install

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:11 PM

#

this one that i'm using discord with

#

um which one should i use

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:11 PM

#

totally up to you

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:12 PM

#

okey let use the first one

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:12 PM

#

the first one being?

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:12 PM

#

so what should i do

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:12 PM

#

windows 10?

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:12 PM

#

using the windows 10 pc (this one )

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:12 PM

#

okay, in that case, where is the iso? what folder?

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:12 PM

#

i'm using the windows pc rn

#

what iso i really dont know what you are talking about

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:13 PM

#

the arch iso you put on the usb drive

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:13 PM

#

what i did is just downloading arch using utorrent then flashing it using rufus that's it

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:13 PM

#

that you downloaded from the torrent

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:14 PM

#

restive orbit what i did is just downloading arch using utorrent then flashing it using rufus ...

where is that download?

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:14 PM

#

ok its in downloads

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:14 PM

#

awesome

#

what is your username?

#

Get-FileHash C:\users<USERNAME>\Downloads\archlinux-<DATE>-x86_64.iso -A sha256

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:14 PM

#

in the c: drive ?

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:14 PM

#

do that in powershell

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:15 PM

#

ok

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:15 PM

#

restive orbit in the c: drive ?

of the user that it's downloaded to

#

make sure you replace <USERNAME> with your username and <DATE> with the date

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:15 PM

#

what date should i use is it like today?

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:15 PM

#

restive orbit what date should i use is it like today?

the date on the iso file you downloaded

#

not the date you downloaded it, but the date the file that you downloaded says

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:16 PM

#

oh ok its 1/1

#

2024

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:16 PM

#

yeah it'll say it in the filename, you want the file name to match what you type above, hence me saying <DATE>

#

e.g. when I wanted the MD5 of the one from May 2 years ago, I did:
Get-FileHash C:\users\tom\Downloads\archlinux-2022.05.01-x86_64.iso -A MD5
in powershell
my username being "tom"

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:17 PM

#

ok its says algorithm with sha256 under it

#

and hash with some random letters and numbers

#

and the path with the path under it

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:18 PM

#

does it match the one here?
https://archlinux.org/download/

#

SHA256: 12addd7d4154df1caf5f258b80ad72e7a724d33e75e6c2e6adc1475298d47155

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:19 PM

#

yes it does

#

12ADDD7D4154DF1CAF5F258B80AD72E7A724D33E75E6C2E6ADC1475298D47155

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:19 PM

#

fantastic

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:19 PM

#

nice

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:20 PM

#

then install ventoy to the usb instead, and put the iso into the usb

limber thistle Jan 10, 2024, 10:20 PM

#

if I may, I think you better stay with mint until you get better with mint, because arch is a diy distro that requires a lot of work.

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:21 PM

Why not do arch on a vm on mint?

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:21 PM

#

turbid marten then install ventoy to the usb instead, and put the iso into the usb

and where is this ventoy

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:21 PM

#

A manual install on the vm

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:21 PM

#

turbid marten Why not do arch on a vm on mint?

the pc specs are low

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:21 PM

#

restive orbit and where is this ventoy

On- the internet

limber thistle Jan 10, 2024, 10:21 PM

#

turbid marten Why not do arch on a vm on mint?

this

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:22 PM

#

oh so this ventoy does the same job as rufus?

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:23 PM

#

Do you know the following commands:
cd
ls
pwd
mount
umount
rm
mv
cp
systemctl status

?

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:23 PM

#

restive orbit oh so this ventoy does the same job as rufus?

Yes, although you can store multiple isos on ventoy

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:24 PM

#

i know them all except cp and the last one

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:24 PM

#

turbid marten Yes, although you can store multiple isos on ventoy

ok

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:24 PM

#

restive orbit i know them all except cp and the last one

Copy paste

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:25 PM

#

ok and the last one?

#

it looks like something htop will do

#

lol

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:25 PM

#

restive orbit it looks like something htop will do

Not really, it’s about the status of services, like NetworkManager for example

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:25 PM

#

ok

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:26 PM

#

E.G.
systemctl enable —now NetworkManager
Would both tell the computer to start NetworkManager every time it booted up, and then also start it in this session (avoiding the need to reboot)

limber thistle Jan 10, 2024, 10:26 PM

#

do you know what de/wm you are going to use on arch?

#

@restive orbit

#

I wouldn't recommended using a wm for my first use of a wm in arch, I would recommended using a de to get to know arch a little bit better, then use a wm

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:34 PM

#

limber thistle do you know what de/wm you are going to use on arch?

De might be plasma/kde or gnome, for example

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:34 PM

#

sorry bad internet

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:34 PM

#

limber thistle do you know what de/wm you are going to use on arch?

i think i will use i3 want to rice it with some hyperland

#

btw this whole problem was due to rufus?

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:35 PM

#

restive orbit btw this whole problem was due to rufus?

Dunno, first thing to try and rule out

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:35 PM

#

ok so i download it let me try

limber thistle Jan 10, 2024, 10:35 PM

#

i3, hyprland is a wm, it is terminal focused

#

not recommended for beginners

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:36 PM

#

then i guess i will use kde

limber thistle Jan 10, 2024, 10:37 PM

#

good choice

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:37 PM

#

It’s your choice though

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:38 PM

#

thanks

#

ok si this ventoy

#

its shows this

#

here i selected my usb but what should i do

#

just install?

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:40 PM

#

Install, and then it’ll make two partitions

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:40 PM

#

nvm just clicked install now its installing something

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:40 PM

#

Yup, to the usb

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:40 PM

#

ok when its completed i will tell you

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:41 PM

#

After that in my computer look for the second partition of the usb, and then copy paste the iso file into that

limber thistle Jan 10, 2024, 10:41 PM

#

or drag and drop

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:42 PM

#

there is an error

limber thistle Jan 10, 2024, 10:42 PM

#

screenshot please

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:43 PM

#

#

this is the second time this happens

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:43 PM

#

restive orbit this is the second time this happens

Did you read the error and look at the faq?

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:43 PM

#

nope

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:44 PM

#

🤷

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:44 PM

#

let me try with another usb

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:44 PM

#

You’re gonna struggle with arch with that sort of approach

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:44 PM

#

note its goes to 44 and restart to 12

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:44 PM

#

turbid marten You’re gonna struggle with arch with that sort of approach

i usually dont do that tho

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:45 PM

#

restive orbit i usually dont do that tho

Why do you want to use arch?

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:45 PM

#

since its a good way to train myself to use linux

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:46 PM

#

Then you need to learn to refer to documentation, googling, and the arch wiki

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:46 PM

#

i dont want to use windows like os ,i really like to use the terminal

#

ok

#

btw its not working this ventoy

#

wait it worked with the other usb

#

so just drage and drop archlinux iso

limber thistle Jan 10, 2024, 10:49 PM

#

yes

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:51 PM

#

its works its no longer grub

#

should i boot in normal mode ?

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:52 PM

#

Boot into grub2 assuming that is an option

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:52 PM

why not normal mode?

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:53 PM

limber thistle why not normal mode?

It can go into bios mode instead of uefi mode in my experience

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:53 PM

ok so grub2 mode

turbid marten Jan 10, 2024, 10:54 PM

#

Show it

restive orbit Jan 10, 2024, 10:54 PM
