[solved] Boot issues

[weary fossil]

Guys why my nyarch doesn't directly boot into nyarch it shows me invalid partition and i have installed it in uefi every time it changes whenever I restart my laptop.
If i don't put it in uefi it shows invalid partition.
And I am really really new . I tried installing grub again but it did not change.

[cloud grail]

[weary fossil]

Like when I had issue with installing nyarch yesterday I did some partitions and it did not mount the 412 gb one but it mounted the 74 gb one

Or 90 gb idk

Now I mounted it

Its in the taskbar showing

[cloud grail]

i usually recommend allocating 1gb to esp and the rest to root

[weary fossil]

It has 2.1 gb ig or 512 mb

How do I check

Do i do ls disk??

[cloud grail]

I'll give you a quick key you can refer to since you're new to linux
ls - list
cd - change directory
lsblk - list block devices and partitions
mv - move
cp - copy
cat - output contents of a file

there's much more but these are some of the basics

[cloud grail]

lsblk

[weary fossil]

Ohhhh 😭i was struggling with moving files back then so it was mv and cp

Let me copy these to my notepad

[weary fossil]

Do i have two efi things?

[cloud grail]

uhh

huh?!

[weary fossil]

Yesterday I asked one person to help me out because I couldn't install the nyarch

They asked me to make a partition and mount it as /boot/efi

[cloud grail]

i have no clue what you're using rn but if it works leave it

[weary fossil]

Its only using 72 gb not the big partition

[cloud grail]

then you need to reinstall

because your root is the 72g partition

[weary fossil]

The whole operating system?

[cloud grail]

you have a messy partition table

[weary fossil]

What do you suggest

What would be the best

For a dummy like me

[cloud grail]

1GB ESP, Allocate everything else to Root

[weary fossil]

Can I do it now

Or do I need to reinstall

[cloud grail]

do you have anything important on there

[weary fossil]

Like passwords and stuff

But nothing else

I can back them up through cloud

[cloud grail]

are you okay with reinstalling

[weary fossil]

Yes I'm okay with changing my distro too

💔🕊️

[cloud grail]

oh that's perfect

do you have the installer on hand

[weary fossil]

The bootable pendrive?

Yes I got it

[cloud grail]

yeah

[weary fossil]

Let me back up

The stuff

Two minutes

[weary fossil]

Ok all done

Im going to reinstall this

Then hold on

I'm back here @cloud grail

Moshi moshi

[cloud grail]

manual

or erase

the automatic might be better for you

[weary fossil]

Okayyyy sure then

Let me do it

[weary fossil]

What's an automatic what do you mean by that

[weary fossil]

I achieved it thank you so much

[cloud grail]

no problem

[cloud grail]

... solved
