Does the wiki say to do that?

Does the wiki say to do that?
For example for German, uncomment de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8 (in addition to en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 which is commonly used as a fallback for various tools):
/etc/locale.gen
...
#de_CH ISO-8859-1
de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8
#de_DE ISO-8859-1
...
#en_SG ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
#en_US ISO-8859-1
...
wiki only did one
unborn hedge
Cool, try that then
willow bane
so this is f*cking why discord is giving me boxes here and there
willow bane
Cool, try that then
why is such an important thing not in the main installation wiki

Note - I'm not convinced this actually is the problem here. However the logs you have shown mention it a lot, so it probably needs fixing

oh ok
what does this mean
unborn hedge
A lot of things in Linux is mirrored in three places. /use/, /etc/ and then in your home under .local or .config
willow bane
so do i do
nano $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/locale.conf
unborn hedge
The settings override in that order. So system config in /usr and /etc, then user config in your home
unborn hedge
so do i do
nano $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/locale.conf
Do you want to set a locale just for your user?
willow bane
Do you want to set a locale just for your user?
idk
no?
i just want a system wide locale
willow bane
unset LANG
willow bane
Probably not then 😊
this time locale and stuff
do i need to do that too/?
or can i have a different locale for those like india
unborn hedge
There probably is an India locale, yeah
Up to you. US is standard
I select only GB with no problems, but 🤷
willow bane
I select only GB with no problems, but 🤷
well i skipped time locales
did a reboot
imma do a test
with journalctl -f running
wait does that even do anything?
After one wonderful freeze later
Let me check logs again
Im losing faith in arch
Im losing faith that ill ever learn linux
unborn hedge
I wouldn't get down, this could happen on any distro
willow bane
unborn hedge
One good thing to check would be trying another distro usb. One with a live environment, see if you get the same freeze
unborn hedge
A lot more going on in that log btw
unborn hedge
so ill have to remove arch iso from it
You can sysadmin arch from any Linux iso
willow bane
uh
unborn hedge
Honestly!
willow bane
You can sysadmin arch from any Linux iso
like i can install use any linux iso?
unborn hedge
If it can mount and chroot, you can do it
Or have multiple iso on the same stick with ventoy
willow bane
interesting
unborn hedge
Do you have your CPU microcode installed?
willow bane
Do you have your CPU microcode installed?
no i completely skipped that part
i had even asked u
unborn hedge
Important!
willow bane
since i didnt understand shit what was going on
unborn hedge
Your CPU might have bugs that the microcode fixes
willow bane
Important!
.. well a lot makes sense now
rustic anchorBOT

what if i switch to smth beginner friendly
unborn hedge
This is difficult on a phone 🙈
willow bane

oh damn
ngl i loved arch
but maybe some day else
when i properly learn everything
@unborn hedge Does arch install do everything automatically?
if yes the main issue / reason i didnt do arch install is because of windows dual boot
what if i single boot arch linux
or do a linux before windows dual boot
unborn hedge
Not sure tbh, I don't tend to use archinstall (it always breaks for me so I give up and do it manually)
willow bane
i see
unborn hedge
Installing microcode is one command, btw
willow bane
Installing microcode is one command, btw
muesli can u please help me go through this?
like idk see what all things i missed
if its still possible to fix arch
unborn hedge
Sure it's fixable. If you skipped steps, just go back and do them
No sense in tearing down what you have already achieved
willow bane
No sense in tearing down what you have already achieved
okayy
willow bane
Sure it's fixable. If you skipped steps, just go back and do them
is it possible for u to come in vc?
like watch my ss or smth
unborn hedge
This is the learning curve. It only gets easier
Beat advice is don't skip steps unless you know better, and that they don't apply to your exact situation
willow bane
okayyy
unborn hedge
Stick to defaults unless you have good reason to mess with the formula. That stuff just comes with experience
This is also why archinstall isn't encouraged for when you're starting. It is more advanced, and might do stuff or skip stuff you might overlook or not expect. Just yesterday there was someone in #quick-questions who managed to make their windows unbootable with it, because they didn't understand what it was asking them
