#archinstall failing
59 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Im honestly not sure how to fix this
commands run:
iwctl
pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring archinstall
cfdisk /dev/nvme0n1
mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/nvme0n1p1
mkfs.ext4 /dev/nvme0n1p2
mkswap /dev/nvme0n1p3
mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt
mkdir /mnt/boot
mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot
archinstall
Things that could've broken it:
/dev/nvme0n1p1 is of type 'Linux extended boot'
The swap commands
I selected 'encrypted'
I'm trying to get hyprland
It's the May release for the iso (although I tried the april one I think or the march one and it still didn't work)
Logs are in the link above
just install it manually and start over on a fresh usb with all the partitions wiped
it's more reliable + you know what you'll be getting yourself into by just installing it manually
arch is the "do it yourself distro" after all
It's a little confusing doing a dual boot with secure boot, hyprland, and getting all of my modules correct. Is there any way you could possibly walk me through in vc? I'll have the guide + vc on my phone
It's been many years since I've installed arch though - been on Gentoo since 2022
I know how to dualboot but I've never tried messing with secure boot
- I'm not really comfortable with vcs
@woven granite just type it here
Wait what would I type?
The commands im using?
Like for secure boot?
@woven granite yes
Why not turn it on/off from BIOS
takes a long time honestly
i want a smooth system
ok tell me what's your dual boot setup
trying to do encrypted arch secure boot with windows 11
(need windows 11 for school)
also my laptop has nvidia gpu + intel integrated gpu
planning on getting hyprland on arch
I do have same system setup too, and It required to turned off secure boot, so I do manually from BIOS,
It takes me just sec to do that, idk why it's longer in your case
Just find secure boot option in BIOS, whatever your motherboard is, google it
And I'm on hyprland too
and here is cmd if you want to do it from cli, It will check whether you have secure boot enabled or disabled.
sudo mokutil --sb-state
before running this cmd check mokutil package is installed in your system or not - pacman -Q | grep 'mokutil'
If not found then install this package
Disable secure boot by this cmd - sudo mokutil --disable-validation
why?
Lockdown browser
vm it
Also I have remote work
vm
Its super important stuff and I need good performance
Use pass through
Why a fresh usb?
Btw with doing secure boot when creating the extended boot is it different from the EFI one
I'll try this but idk
by fresh usb I just meant a usb with an arch install medium
to be clear if you boot into an arch iso and make changes, when you reboot, the iso is exactly the same as it was when you booted up, the changes are only made in active memory, they are not commited to the storage device, so if you need to do something like pacman -Sy archinstall or pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring on the ISO, you need to do that every time you boot into that ISO
I know, I just didn't know the correct wording for booting into the iso with a usb
my bad
that's okay, just wanted to make sure you knew that, sorry for it being something you already know!
@gaunt tinsel @chilly escarp is there any way i could do encrypted without secure boot using arch install
im just bad at partitioning
you can encrypt later after you install it
oh fr?
thanks
are you sure?
