[calm egret]

Alr

[calm egret]

Yep it's done

[jagged ridge]

ok. great.

swapon /dev/mmcblk0p2

genfstab -L /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

arch-chroot /mnt

pacman -S e2fsprogs dosfstols

hold on a sec. I need to find the next command

[calm egret]

Error : /mnt/etc/fstab is not a mountpoint

[jagged ridge]

hm... are you sure you ran that exact command?

did you run genfstab -L /mnt/etc/fstab by accident?

[calm egret]

Yea I missed the arowss

[jagged ridge]

Ok. Did it work now?

[calm egret]

Yes

[calm egret]

Target not found

[jagged ridge]

whoops. dosfstools not dosfstols

[calm egret]

Oh ok it worked

[jagged ridge]

Ok. ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime (Or your local region and city if you remember how you got that working)

[calm egret]

I'm still trying to check, do you know the name for this tool so I can search it up online?

I want to know the format for my city because I don't think my city works

Ohbwait

[jagged ridge]

hm... I don't really know. I only know mine.

[calm egret]

I tried it and it worked

(My city and country)

Mb

[jagged ridge]

ok

hwclock --systohc

systemctl enable NetowrkManager

sed "s/^#en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8/" -i /etc/locale.gen (This goes into the file and uncomments "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" so if you want to do that instead with micro. That's fine)

echo "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" > /etc/locale.conf

locale-gen

echo "your hostname" > /etc/hostname (Put whatever you want there)

passwd

Tell me when you finish al of that

[calm egret]

Done

[jagged ridge]

ok. grub-install --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=GRUB

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Then post the output of efibootmgr

[jagged ridge]

ok. Perfect|

and you set a root password with passwd?

[calm egret]

Yes

[jagged ridge]

ok then.

Press Ctrl+D and type reboot.

[calm egret]

Fingers crossed 🤞

[jagged ridge]

This Will work

eh, why not

[calm egret]

Ok so it booted me back into grub, should I select arch linux?

[jagged ridge]

This will work

[jagged ridge]

anyway. Yes.

[calm egret]

Lmao 😭

[jagged ridge]

send a pic when it boots

[calm egret]

Ok so when it asks for login I put in something but it still won't work

[jagged ridge]

put in root as login and the password you set as the password

[calm egret]

Was that this?

[jagged ridge]

no

that was different

[calm egret]

Ok done

[calm egret]

Oh ok

[jagged ridge]

Perfect. Arch linux is inatalled!

ok. Run useradd -mUG wheel <username>

[calm egret]

FINALLY 😭

[calm egret]

Done

[jagged ridge]

ok. run EDITOR=micro visudo and uncomment the :wheel line

[calm egret]

It says the command is not found

[jagged ridge]

oh right. Run pacman -S sudo first

and before that, run nmtui

or you will have a lot of connection errors

[calm egret]

Yep that happened

[calm egret]

Ima setup this rq

Ok done

[jagged ridge]

ok. Did you also install sudo?

[calm egret]

Yep

[jagged ridge]

ok then. Re-run this

[calm egret]

So when u say wheel line, do you say delete the whole line?

[jagged ridge]

no. Remove the # in the beginning

[calm egret]

Also what number should it be (if you might know)

[jagged ridge]

remove the NOPASSWD one if you want to be able to run sudo without a password. Otherwise the other one

[calm egret]

I mean what number on the line

[jagged ridge]

sorry, wdym?

[jagged ridge]

right, scroll to the bottom first.

The wheel lines are near the bottom

[calm egret]

Ohh ok

Ok removed the tag

I'm saving and exiting

[jagged ridge]

ok. Run passwd <username> to set your user's password

[calm egret]

Forgot how to exit 🙃

[jagged ridge]

Ctrl+S, Ctrl+Q

[calm egret]

Then Reboot?

[jagged ridge]

no. Run exit and login as your user

[calm egret]

Ok it worked now

I'm still in a terminal tho

[jagged ridge]

ok. Run sudo id to make sure it worked

[jagged ridge]

yep. Perfect

now the run part, hyprland.

Now, I'll admit. I don't know much about hyprland. So you might have to read a bit of the wiki for this.

but I DO know the first command: sudo pacman -S hyprland

and you will have to make your own config or use someone elses. I'm not helping you make it. That would take too long

[calm egret]

Are those details?

Dotfiles

[jagged ridge]

yeah

[calm egret]

Oh ok yea I have one I saw on tiktok

Do I apply them now or should I boot my laptop up first?

[jagged ridge]

(Dont tell @/killertofu that I said you could Use someone's elses. This wasn't my doing... )

[calm egret]

🤨

Lmao

[jagged ridge]

well. Now you should probably start reading the hyprland wiki, the Arch Wiki page on hyprland, and/or creating anbother issue here on setting up hyprland

as I don't know hyprland

and am not qualified to help set it up

[calm egret]

Oh ok ty

[jagged ridge]

Your welcome and gl.

... solved
