confusing errors when I try to archinstall

[fleet shell]

What errors out?

[sleek hedge]

maybe try install arch the manual way?

iirc it's just get your wifi working, partition the disk, mount them correctly, then install the essentials

sorry for the bad pics but this is the error. i have tried to redownload over 10 times with the same prossess but tweeking things here and there but I dont know what is wrong and how to fix it

[sleek hedge]

try pacstrap manually

pacstrap /mnt $pkgname

[north lion]

what does that do?

[sleek hedge]

but i would recommend you to do a manual installation

[sleek hedge]

it's like pacman

it installs pkgs

[north lion]

is there a good video on that?

[sleek hedge]

just read the wiki and do a manual installation lmao, first time would take ~2.5 hours

learning the process of installing arch would help you when you ran into problems later on

so

[honest sorrel]

most tutorials on yt or other platform are outdated/bad. arch wiki is upto date and covers most issues

[fleet shell]

pacman -Sy archinstall

it will update archinstall

because the package that it's trying to install (xf86-video-vmware) is not in the official repositories anymore

but archinstall doesn't know that yet

so you need to update it

the new iso will come out on July 1st and the issue will be fixed

you should pick your video drivers carefully next time though

because you were trying to install video drivers for VMWare as well
