weak lotus Apr 2, 2024, 9:16 PM

#

Windows is gone?

stoic coral Apr 2, 2024, 9:16 PM

#

yes, i wiped it by going into disks and turning it all into free space

#

then installed Arch in the free space

weak lotus Apr 2, 2024, 9:17 PM

#

In terminal sudo rm -rf /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft

stoic coral Apr 2, 2024, 9:18 PM

#

i entered it, terminal didnt give an output

#

should i reboot and check?

weak lotus Apr 2, 2024, 9:18 PM

#

run sudo update-grub again

stoic coral Apr 2, 2024, 9:19 PM

#

#

the f u c k

weak lotus Apr 2, 2024, 9:20 PM

#

You had a typo sudo rm -rf /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft not `sudo rm -rf /boot/ef/EFI/Microsoft

stoic coral Apr 2, 2024, 9:20 PM

#

dammit

red thicket Apr 2, 2024, 9:20 PM

#

i saw the typo too

weak lotus Apr 2, 2024, 9:21 PM

#

stoic coral Apr 2, 2024, 9:21 PM

#

#

I AM I L L I T E R A T E

#

weak lotus Apr 2, 2024, 9:21 PM

#

Yes, there will be no Windows entry

stoic coral Apr 2, 2024, 9:22 PM

#

okay, windows is gone, but Arch didnt show up

weak lotus Apr 2, 2024, 9:23 PM

efibootmgr -v

i hate microsoft

weak lotus Apr 2, 2024, 9:26 PM

#

@red thicket familiar with custom grub entries?

stoic coral Apr 2, 2024, 9:27 PM

#

why is it using boot 0002 and not 0001

weak lotus Apr 2, 2024, 9:27 PM

#

stoic coral why is it using boot 0002 and not 0001

It is using Grub from Mint rather than systemd boot as default

stoic coral Apr 2, 2024, 9:28 PM

#

Im not sure what Arch is tied to

#

so there is two boot loaders then???

weak lotus Apr 2, 2024, 9:28 PM

#

stoic coral Im not sure what Arch is tied to

Yes Grub and systemd boot

stoic coral Apr 2, 2024, 9:29 PM

#

so grub isnt seeing arch

#

weird

#

ill go back into the voice channel

#

worst case scenario ill backup my computer then reinstall arch as my only OS if this still causes me issues

weak lotus Apr 2, 2024, 9:33 PM

#

Might have to boot into Arch and run bootctl update and see if systemd boot finds grub in EFI\Ubuntu

stoic coral Apr 2, 2024, 9:34 PM

#

i cant boot into it

#

its not even showing up. in fact, grub doesnt even pop up when i restart my computer. I have my USB drive tho

#

with the archISO

weak lotus Apr 2, 2024, 9:36 PM

#

BIOS boot menu should have it, or from in Mint sudo efibootmgr -n 0001 then reboot

weak lotus Apr 2, 2024, 9:39 PM

#

Try my command from in Mint

stoic coral Apr 2, 2024, 9:39 PM

#

Thata the result of trying the command then rebooting

weak lotus Apr 2, 2024, 9:40 PM

#

Try EFI default loader

stoic coral Apr 2, 2024, 9:41 PM

#

Boot sstraight into mint

weak lotus Apr 2, 2024, 9:42 PM

#

Can you get into BIOS and get to a UEFI boot order?

stoic coral Apr 2, 2024, 9:43 PM

#

Fuck, i dont think it can see arch
I can

weak lotus Apr 2, 2024, 9:43 PM

#

See if it shows Linux Boot Manager, that should be arch

stoic coral Apr 2, 2024, 9:45 PM

stoic coral Apr 2, 2024, 9:55 PM

weak lotus Apr 2, 2024, 9:58 PM

#

Is there an option to boot an efi file, then find EFI/systemd and choose the systemd-bootx64.efi file

stoic coral Apr 2, 2024, 9:59 PM

#

Again i can pull you in voice chat, screenshare my bios screen and we can look

#

You havong trouble?

weak lotus Apr 2, 2024, 10:02 PM

Trying to join voice crashes my discord

stoic coral Apr 2, 2024, 10:02 PM

#

Tell discord its being cringe

weak lotus Apr 2, 2024, 10:02 PM

#

It might know I don't have a microphone or speakers

stoic coral Apr 2, 2024, 10:03 PM

#

Ew

#

#

This is the only screen i can get

#

I seriously am at a loss

#

I can see arch is installed from mint so i know things are there

weak lotus Apr 2, 2024, 10:12 PM

#

stoic coral

See if you can figure out how to chroot into arch and install grub

stoic coral Apr 2, 2024, 10:13 PM

#

i can do that

#

Are you completely unable to join voice without an issue?

weak lotus Apr 2, 2024, 10:14 PM

#

Looks that way

stoic coral Apr 2, 2024, 10:16 PM

#

These are options on booting into it

#

Do i have to mount the files before i can get into them?

weak lotus Apr 2, 2024, 10:18 PM

#

Might want to check on arch linux forums and see if anyone has done a chroot to fix the systemd boot

#

Been a few years since I used systemd boot

stoic coral Apr 2, 2024, 10:19 PM

#

What are we mounting exactly. Just the EFI?

#

Idk if the bootloader is unhappy

weak lotus Apr 2, 2024, 10:20 PM

#

You will likely have to mount and bind EFI, root partition and a few directories

stoic coral Apr 2, 2024, 10:24 PM

#

Let me mount the partitions before the suffering begins

weak lotus Apr 2, 2024, 10:24 PM

#

I won't be much help with fixing systemd boot in arch

stoic coral Apr 2, 2024, 10:26 PM

#

Why cant i mount them anymore 😠

#

I wont lie this is mt very first time TOUCHING arch

#

I followed a guide to the best of my understanding and did not use an install script and im still having weird baloney. Im gonna reinstall

#

Unfortunately, i dont pickup computer stuff thats new naturally but im trying to challenge myself

zealous lion Apr 5, 2024, 6:25 PM

#

if you tried to mount as /mnt/boot/efi
