Is this a joke?

[treatmeniceplz]

i cant execute the script because of access denied i can send a screenshot

[treatmeniceplz]

ok new issue

[techguy16]

I think the issue is due to the fact that ArchTitus only supported EFI systems (in the screenshot you used VirtualBox, which only supports EFI on specialized operating systems). I'll see if I can add support for Legacy BIOS systems.

[techguy16]

Whoops - my commit closed this. I'll leave it open until my fix is confirmed to work.

That's odd my host is a efi system running windows 11

VirtualBox only emulates a BIOS system unless you specify in the VM's settings (sorry about the unreadable system text - it's just Pop!_OS being strange.)

[treatmeniceplz]

I can read it just fine do you want me to try that checkbox on Windows 11

[treatmeniceplz]

That one was on a efi system

[techguy16]

Type exit when you hit that screen.

[treatmeniceplz]

Really helpful I will try it whenever I can

[treatmeniceplz]

is this intented

[techguy16]

No, I think you press continue

[treatmeniceplz]

its in a loop of the shell thing and that menu

[treatmeniceplz]

No, I think you press continue

mashing f doesnt do anything and trying to boot to the drive doesnt work

[techguy16]

I would recommend staying away from VirtualBox when using a VM that uses EFI firmware.

Try using VMware Player instead.

[treatmeniceplz]

Um it don't support arch tho what option to use

[treatmeniceplz]

I can't type

[techguy16]

Other Linux (64-bit)

[treatmeniceplz]

was about to post this but i saw that previous comment on my phone

[treatmeniceplz]

oh yes that was with other linux latest kernel 64 bit

[techguy16]

Just try it again in VBox (with default settings). I think I've fixed it

[treatmeniceplz]

Just started the mirror test

So I now think it's a problem with the kernel not installing - so there must be an error when the kernel gets installed (scripts\0-preinstall.sh on line 142): pacstrap /mnt ${kernelchose} --noconfirm --needed

Don't know why it isn't working - maybe human error :smiley:

[treatmeniceplz]

Do you want to try remote in on Friday bc I am a busy guy during the week and look at what is going on so we can get a guaranteed fix going

No I prefer my privacy :smiley: (and you probably prefer your privacy aswell) - I'll get a fix going soon.

[treatmeniceplz]

Ok that's fine with me

[techguy16]

The kernel now installs and boots, but the script doesn't make a user (for some reason).

[treatmeniceplz]

I’ll try fix it this afternoon

@treatmeniceplz I think I've got it now. GRUB installs properly, but the kernel doesn't install due to low space in the live environment.

What I'm thinking is to make the essential packages install, set up user accounts and GRUB, then reboot into Arch to finish the install. It's losing the character of ArchTitus, but it's worth it to keep the script running.

What do you think about this idea?

[treatmeniceplz]

Sorry for the late response but I think that's a great idea but before you put it in the main branch put it in a beta branch for me to test the changes in my environment before pull requesting into the main branch also I didn't get a email notification at all I just remembered the issue so I went back to the repo to see if we had gotten to a fix

[techguy16]

It ruins the ArchTitus feel though, but it's worth it.

[treatmeniceplz]

But to the in suspecting user they think that the install is way faster now

But then when they boot up into the installed Arch Linux they find out the install hasn't completed and they sit there for half an hour waiting for KDE to install while going through a bottle of Coke (or their favourite beverage).

Moving away from partially silly comments, I've made a beta branch which I'll post a message here when it's ready to try (I probably could test it myself, but 8GB of RAM on my host machine won't go far unless the VM runs with 2GB of RAM because I'm so memory-consious - hoping to upgrade my memory to 16GB soon)

[treatmeniceplz]

To solve that issue before the restart print to the terminal "Install will continue after a reboot" or something similar

[treatmeniceplz]

It’s getting late now I will test it tommorow if you get to the suggested fix so I can test

Also I might try to figure out VirtualBox drivers for them to auto install themselves
