[restive acorn]

he will have to start the network manager service when he boots into the system for nmtui to work of course

[void anchor]

sure

[hard niche]

u will need it to connect to internet after install. cuz iwctl doesnt come with arch after install

[restive acorn]

Yea but its pretty easy to do with nmtui

[hard niche]

ye

[void anchor]

it's installing

[hard niche]

good

[void anchor]

I remember that shitty part damn

[restive acorn]

PFFT

[void anchor]

the BOOTLOADER

[void anchor]

[restive acorn]

Okay

[hard niche]

but its easy

[void anchor]

hell nahhhhhhh

[hard niche]

so dont worry

its pretty simple

[void anchor]

okay

grub right?

[restive acorn]

U already got grub earlier just a few extra things to do so itll work tho

[hard niche]

if u take time to understand ofc

[void anchor]

I'll

[hard niche]

just type this

# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=esp --bootloader-id=GRUB

without the #

ofc

[void anchor]

yeah lol

oka

[restive acorn]

yep

[hard niche]

i will explain

[void anchor]

wait bu

oh no nvm

oka let me do it

[restive acorn]

Lol

[hard niche]

grub-install (installs duh)
and the --target sets ur architecture, like ARM, X86, BIOS, UEFI, Shit idk. just like if u use arch on mac or android.
the efi-directory isnt ESP.

IT ISNT ESP

WARNING

its just ESP cuz

[restive acorn]

Oh yeah i ntoiced that but wasnt sure

[hard niche]

it stands

[restive acorn]

I just trusted in u lmfao

[hard niche]

for EFI System Partition

[restive acorn]

I just thought maybe that was actually right

[hard niche]

which is /boot

[void anchor]

well it didn't work anyway

[hard niche]

lol

[restive acorn]

I did notice esp 💀

[void anchor]

so not esp

[hard niche]

lol

[void anchor]

but efi

right?

[restive acorn]

I noticed esp right away but wasnt sure if that was right or not so i didnt say anything 😭😭

[hard niche]

and the bootloader id is just telling grub its using grub... hmm. lol

[restive acorn]

But if it failed then id point it out thats what my brain decided 😁

[hard niche]

im always wrong, so dont worry. lol

[void anchor]

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=efi --bootloader-id=GRUB

?

[restive acorn]

Yes

[hard niche]

its /boot

not /efi

[restive acorn]

[hard niche]

its simple. no need to explain or edit

[void anchor]

[hard niche]

it SHOULD do this > it will show u the LINUX IMAGE at the bottom. like "Found image at /boot or smth"

[restive acorn]

LMFAOOOO

[hard niche]

yep, its made bad.

[restive acorn]

It's just kinda buried lowkey

[hard niche]

so i thought he did it

[restive acorn]

Oh yeah thats in the iso part

Not in the chrooted system

[void anchor]

I only did loadkeys fr

yeah

only in iso

not in arch

[restive acorn]

He needs to set it in the chrooted system too so then the system will have the keyboard layout correct too

Okay yeah

[hard niche]

ye

reboot

[restive acorn]

Yeah back into the iso

[hard niche]

and all u need to do

is mount

then arch-chroot

then do the loadkeys

thats all

then shut down

[void anchor]

wait wait wait

am I redoing it?

[restive acorn]

No

[hard niche]

NOPE

[void anchor]

okay so

[hard niche]

just mount the drives

[restive acorn]

Just setting the keyboard layout to the 🇫🇷 one

[hard niche]

arch-chroot

[void anchor]

ohh

[hard niche]

then set keyboard layout

[restive acorn]

Yeah ur mounting ur stuff chrooting and then doing the load keys thing

[void anchor]

I loadkeys in the chroot

[restive acorn]

Yes

[hard niche]

ye

[void anchor]

but

when I was in chroot
