[SOLVED] grub install

16 May 2021, 17:38:26

I'm following the installation guide on the Artix wiki and have come to installing grub, using the commands on the wiki but I get the error

Code: [Select]

grub-install: error: failed to get canonical path of 'overlay'

I used the command

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=grub

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

grub-install --recheck /dev/sda

(dev/sda is my hard drive. Change /dev/sda with your drive)

I have just attempted to re-install Artix and grub and this time it worked.

Last time I committed a schoolboy error. I didn't chroot into the new system so that's why there was an error with installing grub.
