Re: Artix runit KDE graphical install bootloader error Reply #6 – 18 April 2022, 22:19:55 So, your system isn't "BIOS legacy" after all, but UEFI.Verify that there aren't excessive kernel dumps in /sys/firmware/efi/efivars by issuingCode: [Select]ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/dump-*Are you partitioning the disks manually? To install to an UEFI system, you need ESP.
Re: Artix runit KDE graphical install bootloader error Reply #7 – 18 April 2022, 22:26:16 ls: cannot access '/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/dump-*': Invalid argumentyou sure? Windows 10 showed me as legacy, also my motherboard is oldi tried manually partioning (firstly i tried the automatic one), see attachment
Re: Artix runit KDE graphical install bootloader error Reply #8 – 18 April 2022, 22:30:49 BIOS legacy systems give "EFI variables are not supported on this system" message from efibootmgr, so pretty sure.What happens when you try automatic partitioning?
Re: Artix runit KDE graphical install bootloader error Reply #10 – 18 April 2022, 22:48:15 The color scheme in that screenshot makes it very hard to read text, can you reboot from the LiveISO without changing the default theme and try again? If you don't plan on dual-booting that computer, the "Erase disk" option should work. Otherwise, you need to have enough space in ESP (at least 500 MB is recommended) and the partition need to be properly marked as such and associated with /boot/efi mountpoint. GPT is highly recommended. Other (ext4) partition needs to be assigned to / mountpoint.See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PartitioningEdit: /boot -> /boot/efi seems to be a requirement specifically for Calamares. It is possible to associate with /boot, but then GRUB needs to be installed manually from chroot. Last Edit: 18 April 2022, 23:08:54 by strajder
Re: Artix runit KDE graphical install bootloader error Reply #11 – 18 April 2022, 23:01:34 no idea how the color scheme changed.there's only these two optionsyou are explaining how to manually set up, right? can you do it with more simpler terms? i don't use linux in a long while and was just hoping to get a quick install
Re: Artix runit KDE graphical install bootloader error Reply #12 – 18 April 2022, 23:04:02 that same menuafter the initial failure, i tried MBR with the "new partition table" button
Re: Artix runit KDE graphical install bootloader error Reply #13 – 18 April 2022, 23:12:55 Quote from: dyson – on 18 April 2022, 23:04:02after the initial failure, i tried MBR with the "new partition table" buttonI just explained that you need GPT, not MBR. Also assign the partitions to mountpoints (click on a partition list entry, then "Edit", then "Mount Point").
Re: Artix runit KDE graphical install bootloader error Reply #14 – 18 April 2022, 23:24:58 oh don't worry, I didn't touch the last screenshot, it was like that when i restartanyways, is this good? its gpt
