old laptop wtv

[void anchor]

okay I guess

[hard niche]

it means that the /mnt isnt mounted and isnt working as part of the system

[void anchor]

oh

okay

so I can redo it

[hard niche]

it should

[void anchor]

without doubling it?

[hard niche]

sure

but without --mkdir

ofc

[void anchor]

aren't all the dirs removed tho?

[hard niche]

idk tbh. it feels like they are there but hidden

[void anchor]

here are the thing with mkdir and without

[hard niche]

mmm

i now understand

the system didnt see the /mnt. so it guessed u meant smth in the / which is the ISO. so he told u "u cant delete that"

[void anchor]

oh yeah that makes sense lol

[hard niche]

now u can continue with --mkdir

[void anchor]

so how do I do it

okok

but

the thing is

[hard niche]

im just being stupid man ;-;

[void anchor]

I need to create mnt

[hard niche]

ye sure

[void anchor]

but like

[hard niche]

u can create it manually if u want

[void anchor]

oh yeah

[hard niche]

with the mkdir /mnt command

[void anchor]

okay

okay

that's what I wanted to know

[hard niche]

nice

[void anchor]

omg

[hard niche]

??? error?

[void anchor]

it'll kill me one day

[hard niche]

maybe its mkdir /dev/sda2 /mnt

idk

wait let me check

[void anchor]

but the thing is that when I do that

[hard niche]

?

[void anchor]

it creates thing like this

[hard niche]

why is it /mnt/root isnt it supposed to be /mnt only

[void anchor]

well

I wanted to do that

but you told me to put root

[hard niche]

lol

[void anchor]

i'ts an old screenshot

[hard niche]

i did?

[void anchor]

now it's all clear

maybe I'm stupid

[hard niche]

i meant root directory

[void anchor]

well

[hard niche]

sry

[void anchor]

mnt is root?

[hard niche]

ye

[void anchor]

mb

I forgot this

[hard niche]

its fine

its my bad im explaining bad

[void anchor]

wait so

the 1G things having

[hard niche]

even in Biology when explaining it to my brother, its hard to explain or talk

[void anchor]

/mnt AND /mnt/boot is fine or not?

[void anchor]

explaining usually is hard lol

[hard niche]

/mnt/boot = efi partition directory

[void anchor]

but

[hard niche]

?

[void anchor]

for instance

in that old screenshot

[hard niche]

ye?

[void anchor]

it had /mnt AND /mnt/boot

[hard niche]

/mnt is the parent. its showing u each directory in the tree. if im understanding correctly

[void anchor]

I hope you're right

[hard niche]

ye same

[void anchor]

okay

let me try something

[hard niche]

sure

[void anchor]

is this

good

[hard niche]

ye

[void anchor]

or should it be like this?

[hard niche]

what is the diff

[void anchor]

the arrow

[hard niche]

i dont get it

[void anchor]

okay nvm if you say it's good

[hard niche]

how did u hide the other things tho

[void anchor]

yeah dw I'm dumb

hide?

the whole crap I had?

[hard niche]

ye

[void anchor]

well

[hard niche]

/mnt below /mnt/boot

[void anchor]

umount -a

and then

I created /mnt for sdb2 first

then boot

then home

[hard niche]

oh....

i thought u did that already

[void anchor]

well

the thing is I couldn't create 2 dirs in one line

[hard niche]

oh

[void anchor]

so I started by n°1

but I shouldn't have

[hard niche]

?

oh

[void anchor]

like

before

since it made crap

now I just got it and did it correctly

sorry for the mess

[hard niche]

its fine man

[void anchor]

okay what's next

the install?

[hard niche]

installation 😈

its easy

[void anchor]

scary part

okay

let's dive

[hard niche]

u just need to use simple packages

like reflector

[void anchor]

and

the linux package

you told me about

hours ago

[hard niche]

ye

[void anchor]

I'm probably going to use it to program or play small games

in case I need some packages for that

[hard niche]

wdym

[void anchor]

well

I have no idea of what packages are

really

[hard niche]

its just .exe

[void anchor]

so yeah, if I'm going to program and play small games, do I need specific packages that you're aware of?

[hard niche]

ye

[void anchor]

okay

[hard niche]

ur gonna see them in the installation

dont worry

[void anchor]

okay

[hard niche]

example

pacstrap = pacman for ISO

so u can install stuff to a specific directory without chrooting yet

base is just bash, and other stuff that are the base of archlinux. like a Minimal Install without GUI or anything

also remind me (for the third time?) about btop. u will need it

once we finish installation. we need to see how much CPU/RAM is being used

[void anchor]

okay

[hard niche]

ok

lets start

[void anchor]

what is chrooting

tho

[hard niche]

change root

from ISO to system for example

cuz, u might break ur system

but want to access it. even if u dont have a kernel, a bootloader

or anything

[void anchor]

okay

[hard niche]

or gui

[void anchor]

so what packages should I install now

[hard niche]

we start first with reflecctor

do reflector

if it doesnt exist

[void anchor]

pacstrap -K /mnt base linux reflector

?

[hard niche]

install it

i think it ships with the arch iso

not sure

[void anchor]

wait so what's the command

to install packages

[hard niche]

reflector to refresh mirrors so u dont download smth old

[void anchor]

oh

mb

[hard niche]

its fine

[void anchor]

I thought reflector was a package

[hard niche]

it is

packages are just executables

[hard niche]

oh god

[void anchor]

😭

did I do something wrong?

[hard niche]

this is the proper command

reflector --latest 50 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

wait no

not /etc/pacman.d

its in /mnt/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[void anchor]

reflector --latest 50 --sort rate --save /mnt/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

like this?

[hard niche]

should be (i hope so)

[void anchor]

okay lemme try

[hard niche]

that damn wiki needs to be better. for newbies it isnt good

last time i installed arch was 8 months ago

wait let me get a VM.

so i can be helpful

[void anchor]

same error 💔

[hard niche]

sad

try arch-chroot /mnt

then type it

[void anchor]

failed to setup chroot /mnt

ofc

[hard niche]

hmmm

ofc....

[void anchor]

it HAD to not work

[hard niche]

i guess reflector for later

its useless for a new ISO anyways

[void anchor]

okay?

[hard niche]

do this

[void anchor]

u'll not believe it

[hard niche]

huh

no directory called /mnt?

[void anchor]

no this is fine

but still error

[hard niche]

huh

hmmmm

did u do the ext4 format?

[void anchor]

oh damn it

you're fucking right

I'm so

damn

ugh

oh well

I didn't

but they are

[hard niche]

T^T

[hard niche]

hmm?

now im confused

u said u didnt

but it looks like u did

[void anchor]

well uh

maybe it saved from last time?

[hard niche]

oh maybe...

wait

didnt u format it

...?

[void anchor]

I did

I think

[hard niche]

im feeling confused. lets do umount -a

and format them

[void anchor]

okay

[hard niche]

and lets try again

since this doesnt need internet, its fine

[void anchor]

how to format

mkfs.ext4 /dev/root_partition

?

[hard niche]

ye

and home partition

[void anchor]

okay

okay

all done

[hard niche]

nice

[void anchor]

looks like this agian

well uh

without the mount points

and all

[hard niche]

and that sounds good?

[void anchor]

so I need to do them

like create the mnt

boot

home

[hard niche]

ok

[void anchor]

basically mount them

done

[hard niche]

good

do genfstab /mnt cuz i wanna see its output

[void anchor]

way better output

[hard niche]

good

show

[void anchor]

is it blurry

[hard niche]

sure

[void anchor]

ugh

wait

[hard niche]

ooks good to me

[void anchor]

as you say

okay

[hard niche]

idk tbh. i cant see much, but from what i see (if im even seeing right) its fine

[void anchor]

this says error tho

[hard niche]

thats normal

[void anchor]

okay

fine then

next step?

[hard niche]

ye

[void anchor]

reflector right?

[hard niche]

nope

[void anchor]

oh okay

[hard niche]

pacstrap

[void anchor]

okay

pacstrap -K /mnt base linux linux-firmware

that one?

[hard niche]

ye

i hope it works

[void anchor]

hm

[hard niche]

dammit

[void anchor]

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG

[hard niche]

IDK

MAN THIS SHIT IS SO STUPID

let me try VM instead

i give up

i will go get a vm and arch iso

and do it

while im doing

im gonna tell u a temporary fix

do pacman -Sy archinstall

and type archinstall

and follow it

and make it do the work for u

its an automated arch linux installer

[void anchor]

isn't archinstall so bad tho?

[hard niche]

nope

[void anchor]

I know about it but

[hard niche]

for newbies no

[void anchor]

I get that

but it feels like cheating

[hard niche]

kinda ye

until u get used to arch at first

u will install arch then fine

thats how i did it

i failed my first time. and was impatient

so i did archinstall on my second try

[void anchor]

well I'm not impacient I can wait honestly

[hard niche]

then on my system break i did arch manual install on third try

[hard niche]

ok wait for me to do it then

[void anchor]

yep

will do

[hard niche]

ty

[void anchor]

I already installed it wit archinstall but it was bad

that's why it said linux arch

[hard niche]

give me time to download iso

[void anchor]

or whatever

[void anchor]

I got all the time don't worry

you're helping ME and I'm grateful

[hard niche]

my internet is 100KB/s

[restive acorn]

whats the issue

[hard niche]

T^T ur making me happy

[void anchor]

oh pretty slow indeed

[void anchor]

installing packages

I think?

[hard niche]

the pacstrap -K /mnt

isnt working properly

[restive acorn]

Huh really

[restive acorn]

U mounted the right drives or whatever ? never seen that error before weird

[hard niche]

same

i only saw it once and dont know when or how

[void anchor]

well

I mounted all the drives

as you can see here

on the screenshot

[restive acorn]

hmmm that looks right

[hard niche]

yep

[void anchor]

and yet

errors

[hard niche]

uh how did u say u got the laptop?

[void anchor]

I bought it some years ago

[hard niche]

nice

i thought its locked or smth

[void anchor]

yep

[restive acorn]

My laptop looks similar to urs but mine isnt old asf

[void anchor]

it was fresh new when I bought it

[restive acorn]

[void anchor]

ahah

[restive acorn]

Lolll

[hard niche]

20 minutes left until download finishes

[void anchor]

I'm more clueless than both of you

[void anchor]

okayy that's good

[restive acorn]

Wtf are u on dial up or something lmfao

[hard niche]

lol, Egypt's wifi is trash and expensive. and only 140GBs per month. i only have 10Left

[restive acorn]

Oh god damn

[void anchor]

wow that's

like crazy low

[hard niche]

yep

and for 10 days worth of food

[restive acorn]

I have installed arch on my sisters old pc she left behind after moving out before but I have no idea what to do with the pc at all 😭 since i just use my laptop for everything

[hard niche]

so i cant waste internet like that. thats why i said i give up and will download the ISO

the ISO was last resort

[void anchor]

bro don't use your last internet on me

[hard niche]

i will

[void anchor]

I will find a solution eventually

[hard niche]

no worries

[restive acorn]

I think I have the iso if you dont want to waste ur internet

[hard niche]

. . .? its downloading anyways.

[hard niche]

i will see if i can do it myself. maybe im missing smth

[void anchor]

okay

[restive acorn]

Idk the command should work

[void anchor]

just to let you know

when I used archinstall

it went fine

and actually worked

[hard niche]

nice

so we did smth wrong

[restive acorn]

Archinstall is like a roulette

[void anchor]

YEAH LOL

it worked ONCE in my 1234 tries

[restive acorn]

It either works just fine or u get 30 million issues 😭

LMFAOOO

[hard niche]

1 minute left yay

[restive acorn]

🎉

[void anchor]

youhou

[restive acorn]

this is wonderful news

[void anchor]

I'm deadass not understanding why isn't it working

like sincerely we redid everything correctly

twice

no issues

[restive acorn]

[void anchor]

just to get that again

[restive acorn]

Genuinely weird

[void anchor]

I'm never lucky with those wacky installing processes

even on windows, installing some python things usually ALWAYS give me errors

[restive acorn]

god damn who cursed you lmao

[void anchor]

nah honestly

I'm not THAT stupid

sometimes I feel cursed

[restive acorn]

you dont seem stupid to me

just.. unlucky

[void anchor]

fluxdev will find a way eventually

I'm sure

[restive acorn]

I can always try install arch again on my sisters pc lol

[void anchor]

lmao atp anything will do

but don't worry he'll do that

[hard niche]

uh works fine for me

[restive acorn]

Hmm

[void anchor]

oh

[hard niche]

i did the installation asap

and it works

[restive acorn]

speedrun installing arch linux

[hard niche]

im just too fast when doing it right somehow

u can do it too

[void anchor]

I'll kill myself

should I restart and like

live cam

oh wait but your internet

nvm

[hard niche]

it was downloading things now, i quit it. cuz i dont wanna waste internet

[void anchor]

yeah yeah don't worry

[hard niche]

50 MiB wasted

[void anchor]

at least we know that I'm the issue

[restive acorn]

😓

[hard niche]

i can live screen with u if u want

wait i know

i can record

and upload

[void anchor]

but

[hard niche]

i have ultra compression way

[void anchor]

your internet?

[restive acorn]

dude ur internet😭

[hard niche]

so i can compress 1 1G video into 100M

[restive acorn]

I have good internet

[hard niche]

and the video im gonna send u is gonna be like 10 MiB

[void anchor]

sending me a list of your commands would be more efficient

[hard niche]

ok

[restive acorn]

Let me go read back up and see what commands yall did

[void anchor]

I'll reboot

[restive acorn]

🔎

[void anchor]

go ahead, long journey lol

[restive acorn]

gonna lock in

[void anchor]

rebooted

it's loading

[hard niche]

cfdisk then mkfs.ext4 and mkfs.fat -F 32 then mount then pacstrap -K /mnt

thats what i did.

dude but damn, i speedrun to installation

i thought arch manual was hard after going away for 8 months

[void anchor]

i'll tell you anything that I'm doing okay?

[hard niche]

ok

sure

im fine with that

[void anchor]

it's loaded

[hard niche]

im happy that someone talks to me anyways

[void anchor]

now I'll just connect to my wifi

[hard niche]

ok

[void anchor]

will take some time with that longass password

[hard niche]

lol

[void anchor]

okay

connected

[hard niche]

good

exit

[void anchor]

exit and do the timezone

then disks

I'll do it and send a screen

[hard niche]

ok

tbh

i didnt do either timezone, font, anything

i just did basics

like speedrun fr

[void anchor]

yeah it's fine

[hard niche]

wait

[void anchor]

All formated

[hard niche]

i think i know the problem

[void anchor]

oh?

[hard niche]

can u show me the cfdisk menu of the sdb disk?

[void anchor]

how do I specify which one to open?

I forgot

[hard niche]

cfdisk /dev/sdb

[hard niche]

go down to the big partition, check its type. i think thats the problem

nvm

it isnt

not the problem

u can continue

[void anchor]

okay

is that a prob?

I think it's from my old tries

[hard niche]

ye thats fine

it should be that

[void anchor]

okay

[hard niche]

Linux FileSystem is the literally the Linux Filesystem

thats what i thought the problem

i thought u set it to smth else

thats why i asked u to check type

[void anchor]

don't mind i use that as a reminder

[restive acorn]

why not fdisk

[hard niche]

we want him to be faster and finish easier

since fdisk is a bit harder + i wouldnt use fdisk. i use parted instead

[hard niche]

parted makes more sense to me

[void anchor]

okay done

we're where we were

lots of were

[hard niche]

ok

try now

WAIT

[void anchor]

pacstrap -K /mnt base linux linux-firmware
this command?

[restive acorn]

LMAO

[hard niche]

unmount now

[void anchor]

ahah

UGH

OKAY

all?

[hard niche]

yes

rm that /mnt thing. somehow do it. the whole directory

[hard niche]

oh shi-

ok

[restive acorn]

LMFAOOO

[hard niche]

try Pacstrap ig

[void anchor]

wait

just because it says that

[restive acorn]

U not making a swap ?

[hard niche]

swap file

[void anchor]

doesn't mean it doesn't work

[restive acorn]

Oh ok

[hard niche]

tf

[void anchor]

it does unmount all of em

IDK MAN

[restive acorn]

Oh wait

[hard niche]

is this shit serious

[restive acorn]

When you unmount them all you also unmount the loop0 thing you should probably remount that in case thats why pacstrap wasnt working

[void anchor]

yeah wait

btw

[hard niche]

oh

[void anchor]

what's loop0

[hard niche]

its smth deep af

[void anchor]

sdc is my flashdrive

but loop0

[hard niche]

like ram

[void anchor]

no idea

[restive acorn]

I would remount just in case that was the problem since you guys did unmount stuff last time too

[void anchor]

so what's your idea?

[hard niche]

mount

[void anchor]

I just redo this?

[hard niche]

ye

[void anchor]

done

[hard niche]

it is mostly the problem

bro is so smart. he guessed the problem meanwhile us dying here

[restive acorn]

LOLLLLLLLL

[restive acorn]

Idk i just notice the most useless stuff, I just noticed that

[void anchor]

y'all i don't get anything 😭

[hard niche]

?

[void anchor]

I remounted all

[restive acorn]

Mount loop0 again

[hard niche]

loop0 needs to be remounted

[void anchor]

in which dir?

[hard niche]

mountpoint

[restive acorn]

Right there

/mnt/archiso/airootfs

[void anchor]

OH YEAH CUZ WE ALWAYS UNMOUNTED

[hard niche]

/run*

[restive acorn]

WAITN O

RUN

[void anchor]

NEVER TRIED WITHOUT IT

[restive acorn]

Mb

[restive acorn]

RUn i mean

I meant run

[hard niche]

RUN

[void anchor]

how do I create those dirs

WHAT

[restive acorn]

/run/archiso/airootfs

U dont need to

U dont need to make them they should already exist

[void anchor]

I just run this?

/run/archiso/airootfs

[hard niche]

yes

[restive acorn]

Oh for goodness sake 💀

[void anchor]

AHAHAH

[restive acorn]

Okay yea reboot

[void anchor]

okay reboot

and this time we don't unmount

[restive acorn]

U gotta get this mounting correct so u dont unmount the loop thing

[void anchor]

at all

[hard niche]

ye

[restive acorn]

I'm guessing thats why pacstrap wasnt working before problly

[void anchor]

perfect or nothing

[restive acorn]

lolll

[hard niche]

this thread is actually.... 1700 messages....??!?!?!?

[void anchor]

you're more likely right cause each time we unmounted because of my stupidness

[restive acorn]

was something i just noticed fr
