Problem with 'cd SteamDeck_rEFInd'

[astnla]

Hi, I've been working tirelessly to get this dual boot setup. I spent all day trying Deck Wizard's tutorial on YouTube & noticed your strings were a bit different so I wanted to try yours. I'm currently having an issue where the Steam Deck boots into Windows mainly and won't find the rEFInd installation.

I'm hoping your will, but when I enter the second line that begins with 'cd' it says 'No such file or directory.'

Any help would be amazing, thanks!

EDIT: Never mind, a quick close of the Konsole & reopened allowed me to install but I did see that it had some files that said it couldn't be downloaded. After restarting my Deck, it no longer boots into Windows anymore, it now goes straight to game mode. I'll try reinstalling & pasting the full code here.

You may be experiencing an issue with pacman not installing refind. I literally just uploaded a different install script that addresses this. Please try that and let me know how it goes.

And yes, I've reached out to DeckWizard and let him know that I made multiple script improvements since the initial release. He is either too busy or has ignored my request for him to update his version. This is especially annoying when people use his version, have issues and then come to me for help. It's also comedy seeing some of these fork names with like "improved" attached. It's kind of disrespectful to be honest with the amount of time and effort I've made to ensure this script works and to help others debug, but I digress.

Let me know how the pacman free script works for you, assuming you are also having a problem with pacman getting the refind package for installation.

Alright, let me go ahead and try that! :)

IT WORKED!! Thank you so much! I've been trying numerous amounts of guides online that say they fix it but don't! Thank you for helping, seriously! I spent all day yesterday trying to get this to work! I appreciate it!!

[jlobue10]

Let's go! I'm happy that it worked. Thank you for confirming that this worked for you. If you're happy with the resolution, please close the issue.

[astnla]

Yes, I will! I think you should make your own tutorial on YouTube, honestly! If you search this issue, a lot of people have it. I think you should make your own! This helped out a ton, seriously. Thank you!

Thank you for the positive feedback. Unfortunately I am far too busy with a full time job and daddy duties with a baby. I also don't care about internet clout or whatever... XD . Hopefully people stumble upon the fix, if nothing else. I updated the main Reddit thread to mention it here . Have a nice day. :)
