I'm not sure if this is an error but on the blog, when one has to type blkid -s PARTUUID -value /dev/sdxY You call Y the Boot whereas you should refer to Y as Root like on your video. Correct me if I am wrong though

+GloriousEggroll Then you should change "sda1" to "sda3" :) an I think it's "/", not "/root"

At 18:52 when I nano /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf it says no such file or directory, where as on yours it says "New File" and when I try to ctrl+O to save the file, it says "Error writing /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf: No such file or directory". How do I fix this? I thought I had saved it before because it didn't give me an error like it does now, or at least I thought it did, but when I tried the next step (actually booting into linux) it said something like "linuz doesn't exist" which looked similar to the line from the arch.conf file: "linux/vmlinuz-linux" Edit- boot says "Error - \vmlinuz-lunx not found" Edit2- I also can now not load Windows, it says "Windows failed to start....File:\WIndows\system32\winload.exe...Status: 0xc000000e". I thought it would be fine to dualboot linux on the same drive as Windows is on, but then this happened, please help me fix it man....

+ilmachia no. you need to type lsblk to find YOUR partitions. /dev/sda1/2/3 were examples of how they would look. they could be sdb1/2/3 sdc1/2/3

"blkid" returns "PARTLABEL="swap"" same goes for home and root so they're definitely there

+lukapostmyr this is not a dual boot guide. Chances are your linux bootloader overwrote your windows one. lets handle getting linux to boot. 1. boot into the USB stick like you normally would to start the install 2. mount your root, home, and boot partitions. typing lsblk will tell you your partitions (more than likely /dev/sdxY format) Example: mount /dev/sda3 /mnt mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/home mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot then arch-chroot /mnt THEN make sure your boot loader installed properly by re-typing: bootctl install then get partuuid of root partition: blkid -s PARTUUID -o value /dev/sdxY (with sdxY being your root partition) Now, edit the arch.conf nano /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf

+Ghar Thausz it needs to be $arch [archlinuxfr] SigLevel = Never Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/$arch Also this is for a standard PC install, I don't know if the AUR repos will work for ARM architecture. A lot of the packages on the AUR don't work on my raspberry pi 2. If you are just trying to update the system you can remove that section, then pacman -Syu and then try adding it again later

blkid -s PARTUUID -o value /dev/sdaX > /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf and you will have that UUID in file and then you can start edit... nice work, ty

Hey man, can't I install grub after GPT partitions? My laptop's bios is kinda screwed(long story, can't change boot mode to UEFI)...hence I didn't load with EFI, while running bootctl install, it says not booted with EFI...am kinda new to this...what are my options for other bootloaders?

[ 2016-03-24 17:32:02Z ] 👍 0

+Pranav D if you have another computer and a flash drive you can update the bios easily. if you want to go the grub way just make the boot partition ef02 instead of ef00 and you should be able to install grub after remounting it. cmos doesnt have anything to do with updating the bios :/ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB#GUID_Partition_Table_.28GPT.29_specific_instructions

Great guide. A suggestion regarding boot loader config. you don't need to write down the UUID , you can simply re-direct it blkid -s PARTUUID -o value /dev/sdxY >> arch.conf and edit the text there.

[ 2016-07-27 07:09:18Z ]👍 0

Mine had errors starting. Saying dependencies failed for root ans stuff and went into some emergency shell mode. lsblk showed nothing but root mounted. The problem was the fstab file had 'UUID=' with a random uuid that didn't match what the blkid command returns at all. Entering in the correct uuid did not help either, so I deleted the whole uuid section and just uncommented each drive name '/dev/mmcblk0p1' instead of 'UUID=big long number'. In case anyone else has this problem.

when you using the sed to change the server comments , leave out the handle -i , use sed 's/^#Server/Server' like this , they cahnge the way sed works in recent updates , had me thrown off of why it won't work

Ran into the same issue, then I noticed on the video he has a / before the last '. Then it worked for me once I added it ( sed -i 's/^#Server/Server/' ).

[ 2016-09-22 17:05:03Z ] 👍 0

GloriousEggroll I downloaded the iso 4 days ago and the -i flag didn't work for me. I live in Greece and the closest/best servers are 3-4 universities, and using the -i flag the mirrorlist used a Japanese server that declined the download. I retried the rank on the second backup and i did not used the -i flag, and then the mirrorlist used the closest mirrors with blazing fast speeds. Note that i used a wifi connection (wifi-menu -o wlp3s0) on a laptop , so that might have caused(?) the problem.

[ 2016-09-22 14:16:31Z ] 👍 0

I just used sed -i 's/^#Server/Server' /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.backup and it worked perfectly fine. was able to use rankmirrors just fine as well. Just downloaded the ISO from the arch website yesterday. Not sure why it didn't work for you but it works fine here the way I did it

I noticed you didn't run mkinitcpio -p linux before setting up bootctl (as I understand it, mkinitcpio creates the initramfs etc files you specify in loader.conf).

This is the first video series where my system actually booted after completing all of the steps. Thanks - it's been frustrating getting to this point, but I've learned a lot. I haven't understood my OS this well since I worked with DOS back in the day... A couple of suggestions : 1. Take a breath before you hit ENTER. Especially when ENTER is going to blank the screen. 2. Make sure the you articulate precisely the characters that you are typing including all of the spaces, dashes, and dots. 3. Articulate "ENTER" 4. Explain the what / why of the commands a bit more. Why are we executing this command? What does it do? Is it important for the install or is it just to verify or view something? Great videos though. As I said, you're the first person who's actually gotten me through this - big props to you.

that's odd. I just used this a few weeks ago and it worked fine

Why are you adding the the french repo link to your pacman.conf. You say its so you can install from the AUR with Yaourt, but why the french server?

[ 2017-03-23 02:13:23Z ] 👍 1

it just happens to be one of the most common unsigned AUR repos from the wiki that most tutorials use: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/unofficial_user_repositories#Unsigned_2 other repos can be found there^

I checked the PARTUUID and I'm sure i've typed it the right way, but I still get this after reboot without the usb: :: Triggering uevents.. waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-partuuid/B7D846ED-537F-463C-9960-0C8C23EF1318 ... error: device 'PARTUUID=B7D846ED-537F-463C-9960-0C8C23EF1318' not found.

Digital Insan1ty Thanks!!! I got it working because of you! For all the others wondering what to replace with /dev/sda3 Go and open up nano /something/something/arch.conf again and replace the whole PARTUUID stuff after the equals sign with /dev/sda3.

additionally if you need to see all partition uuids you can just type blkid or export it all to a file with blkid >> somefilename also, bare in mind one > means overwrite, while two >> means append/add to existing

ahh you mean for fstab sorry. you can do the same thing with fstab: blkid -s PARTUUID -o value /dev/sdxY >> /etc/fstab mine looks like this: # /dev/sdb3 UUID=cf0798eb-e2f8-4d4e-be21-a252e79f3354 / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 1 # /dev/sdb1 UUID=F660-1A40 /boot vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 2 # /dev/sdb2 UUID=3957df85-d5ff-4f52-8ee4-5963a76fbb50 none swap defaults 0 0

if you do this: blkid -s PARTUUID -o value /dev/sdxY >> /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf it will copy paste the partuuid to the arch.conf file for you, then you can just edit the rest of the line as needed. should look like this: options root=PARTUUID=a3abb4c8-a931-45ac-ac4b-54199b4449e6 rw

I saw this arch install video of another guy and he set another bigger font so it was easier to read. If you'll ever make another video like this I recommend you do that as well.

When I enter the command "pacstrap -i /mnt base base-devel" (without the quotes), I get the list of things to download. However, after I hit y and enter, it installs some things and occasionally gives me 6 lines of this same error message: "error could not open file /mnt/var/cache/pkg/.........pkg.tar.xz.part: invalid argument" (again, without quotes), followed by "warning: failed to retrieve some files" "error: failed to commit transaction ( failed to retrieve some files)" "errors occured, no packages were upgraded" "==> ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root" (all without quotes). What should I do? Edit: this happened at ~8:00 in the video.

Thanks for the fast reply. Yes, it froze. Note my Loader section where the Partition: n/a I think the problem is that it's not mounting the boot partition with the command. I am newbie in linux so I am not sure how to troubleshooting this problem. This board is old and max version is 2.0. BTW, your tutorial is great and easy to follow, please post more videos. Thank you.

[ 2017-05-07 20:03:53Z ] 👍 0

are you sure it's freezing or maybe its just taking a while to copy? also noticed system using UEFI 2.0, does your bios have an update? mine is 2.5, here's my output of bootctl: Using EFI System Parition at /boot.

great video, I learned a lot - question: how do manage to capture video on the target machine at boot time? thanks

I have two computers, the second one is used for streaming and video capture and has a magewell usb 3.0 hdmi capture dongle

The 25:15 is my best part to solve my error.

For rankmirrors you will need to pacman -S arch-contrib
