I failed to assign a name to my user during install and just set the password, how do I know what's my desktop login to access my computer?
I'm assuming you went with the graphical installer?
no, I did the runit install and I can't install my graphical environment because I need to login
anyone to help??
Login as root.
Create a new user https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Users_and_groups#Example_adding_a_user
If you are using a display manager (gui login) such as sddm and it doesn't allow root login then press CTRL-ALT-F2. Login as root........
the keys shows me the panel to log in. I just said I didn't know what my desktop login was, and I can't access the command line
There's no such thing as a 'desktop' login.
There are user logins and a 'root' login.
I've no idea how you managed to have no users ? You must have a root user surely ?
Try user:
root
password:
whatever you set as password.
You could chroot in and fix it all. But if that means nothing to you if it's a new install I'd be tempted to just install it again.
using root as user login worked thanks alot
