A couple points were missed in this video: 1. swap file/ partition was not created (needed to support RAM and hibernation) 2. os-prober was not enabled in grub config for dual-booting PCs.
I'm walking through this at the moment, and had questions about swap. How should I do this? Just create another partition with my desired swap size and flag it as type swap in fdisk?
@@Got_It_From_Ebay yup, just create a partition with desired space, I usually then just format it with "mkswap /dev/partition" and right after "swapon /dev/partition"
@@ethanalvarez-xf3ws The ram disk in this scenario is more like an environment that gets loaded in order to launch the rest of your system. Swap space in linux is more like a pagefile in Windows, it's used to juggle memory allocation when necessary - and as non-volatile (sleep) memory.
I'm daily driving arch since 2020 and it hasn't been possible without your old videos about arch installation and setup videos. Learned lots of topics from your videos like syncthing, ssh, proxmox and more... ❤❤❤
I recommend also installing the "xorg-server" package, because it fixed the boot process getting stuck after decrypting the drive. For added context, I run an Nvidia GPU and got this error on June 5, 2024.
I got an error about EFI variables not supported even though I'm in UEFI mode. added --removable to 58:46 to tell it I was using a removable drive and then it worked
I accidentally typed a capital letter in my username and that manual installation got wasted, but learned a lot. Thank you very much sir. Now I am installing via archinstaller.
I'm glad he mentioned Ventoy because I think it's better than clearing and formatting a flash drive to have one use (to install Arch). You can have all the ISOs you want on one drive and the plugins allow you to add different things to it!
Stupidly easy to crack password, gotta use something hard to guess with no words and lots of inconsistency. For example, I use 1p23$aAAa for my UA-cam password
I'm new into arch and dont remember to set a root password for ubuntu, in what situations this root and password are used? because I can easily lost that generated password and fuck up when I need it, be it seemed to me that its not that used
@@onça_pintuda999the root password is used when installing a lot of things using the terminal and making changes to your pc, which is done quite a bit on linux
@onça_pintuda999 the root pass is security so that incase no hacker or friend or anyone gets in your pc and messes with the root commands and fucks up your pc
I'd like to add this, since it's something I came across and, hopefully, if someone comes across this issue, it may help someone out, even if it's buried under older comments. 58:48 - if you are receiving outputs of "EFI variables are not supported on this system," followed by one output of "grub-install: error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry," it is because your computer is not in UEFI mode. You must switch that somewhere in your BIOS menu and, since all BIOS are different, I can't really provide a universal guide to changing the mode. But, one way to quickly verify to see if your computer is currently in UEFI mode is to try this command: "ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars". If it is not found, your system is in BIOS mode instead of UEFI. If it is found, there may be something else entirely. For me, that was the reason why I couldn't continue beyond this point and simply went with the automatic installation, but it was a learning experience, nonetheless.
@@f_depi I probably shouldn't be giving input because I'm not entirely sure of the answer myself, but I assume you may be able to start of that exact point where you left off, since all of the changes to the drive have been made. The thing is, I don't remember if all of the changes are just being written in memory or if the changes are actually being implemented to the drive. Sorry; I can't fully answer the question, but my assumption is that you may be able to return to that spot.
Thanks for the video. I followed along and installed Arch on a flash drive. it worked a little differently because it was a flash drive but it wasn't too far off.
I had heard that Arch was very hard to install so I didn't bother trying. After watching your video, I felt confident that I could do it. I got my first install up and running on a 2009 MacBook Pro I had lying around. I played around with that for a bit before deciding to install it on my main machine. I don't think I could ever go back to Debian now. Thanks for making this video.
I believe more people need to watch this video because I have spent very long trying to figure out how to get this to work and every time something wasn't working I found out I didn't follow what you said. Thank you very much
There is also a Arch Linux live distribution with desktop. It is called "Nepu Linux" and is build and maintained by eworm, one of the core Arch Linux developers. When your hardware runs within Nepu Linux, it will with a basic Arch Linux installation.
Really great tutorial! Arch was my last resort for my gt 730 (fermi) since debian didn't work with it and you helped me install arch without having to watch 5 times.
22:30 - You forgot the post install chroot stuff. You can't just reboot after this, it doesn't let you. Chroot says running in chroot ignoring request. You have no Desktop Environment GUI, just a command prompt with no information as to what it wants form you after that.
If you are installing kde you may have to run sudo -Sy archinstall, believe the archinstall script that is downloadable still has a weird issue with the plasma-wayland packaging
I use Arch now, btw. Thank you. I tried installing before but got stuck on invoking wifi but thanks to your clear explanation I have Arch up and running.
Hey Jay, i want to send you my appreciation for your hard work. You've helped me tremendously! Your work is truly a gem for those of us learning how to be proficient on the Linux side of computer science.
I've installed arch manually a lot of times over the last couple of years. I've never heard of or used 2 1G partitions (boot and EFI). I only create one single 1G partition formatted as vfat and it sets up and installs via UEFI just fine. What's the purpose of the separate partitions for boot and EFI?
It is available, actually. I happened to stumble upon it while watching mental outlaw's old arch install video, and it is just so much more convenient. It's weird how most youtubers don't seem to mention it...
I ran into an NTP issue where archinstall hangs indefinitely. This is documented as issue #2144 and has workarounds. This was caused primarily due to restrictions on LAN restrictions and an external firewall which could not easily be adjusted in a timely manner. The workaround was to manually define /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf to use the internal NTP servers, restart systemd-timesyncd, and then restart archinstall. There is also a "--skip-ntp" command line option you can pass to archinstall, though I have not tested it.
I was following your Arch video you had put in 2021 just TODAY and installed it a few hours back! Will check this one out to see if there's anything else I can do
Help! In the manual method, the grub-install step gave me an error "no EFI directory found". I double checked everything and confirmed the mount points. Then searched the internet and added another argument: --efi-directory=/boot/EFI This installed grub. But grub is not detecting Arch Linux.

During the manual installation I didn't get the reasoning behind the second partition... The 'Carbon' laptop features an UEFI board which is booted via the first partition. So outlines the Arch WIKI UEFI partition schemes as well (EFI system and e.g. '/')... Have I missed a part that explains the additional boot partition, e.g. in relation to the logical volume management ?... The latter a welcome suggestion to achieve full device encryption with optional hibernation.
For newer laptop models, don’t use quotes with the passphrase for your WiFi connection. I figured out that on some newer devices like my Acer Nitro 5, if you use quotes it will say dquote> and you’ll have to retype what you typed.
ok so i am at 58:48 and i get a message :cannot find EFI directory. when was i suppost to make that directory, could i have misspelled it or something? so close lol...
I had tried to install arch for a while, but i couldn't make it work with my rtx 3060. Best chance was using nouveau, but i wanted the proprietary drivers for better performance. Found your video, followed the steps one after the other, and boom, my system works, running lspci -v tells me i'm currently using the nvidia kernel driver, instead of nouveau. Thank you so much. A few things that were different in my case, may be useful to other begginers: 1. After mounting the EFI partition, I got a warning saying that the fstab table wasn't updated. I solved that by getting out of chroot and running the genfstab command again. 2. After rebooting, it booted the linux-lts kernel by default. What I did was reboot again, and in the grub menu I chose the "Advanced Arch Options" (or something like that). That showed me the kernels i had installed, and so I chose the linux one. Don't know if there is a way to change the default kernel tho.
Sorry for the probably obvious answer to my question but at 30:50, if I would choose to list all (type L to list all), how would I choose the type or just leave the menu that comes with it? Thanks in advance.
i think you can't select it. you can just look for the number you need (44 in the video) and type the number in the command line shown in 30:50. I think I could close the list with "q"
When i type grub-install i have problem. EFI variables are not supported on thia system, grub-install error: efibootmgr faild to register the boot entry: no such file or directory, how can i solve that ?
In my opinion, the video should have more closely followed the Arch wiki section on pacstrap and pacman package installation. For example, the wiki suggests pacstrapping the base and linux packages. Then chroot in to install the rest using pacman. While the video way works, there is value in following the wiki closer. Thanks.
For the disk partition section 26:00, is it possible to create the x3 specific partitions without affecting other partitions in the drive. At 27:28 when u say "if ur device identifier is something like /dev/sda, then ur not going to type sda1 or sda2 just sda" Here I assume this is only if u want to install the distro in the complete drive, however if ur intention wasto install it in a specific partition then I assume u can use the specific partition path /dev/sdax ? 🤔
if I want to dualboot linux, do I still do "fdisk /dev/nvme0n1"? or should I do it on the partition I want to replace? e.g. "fdisk /dev/nvme0n1p3"? (in relation to ~ 27:30 in the video)
You also have arch based distributions like endeavor and garuda that are simple enough to setup and use. I do agree that it is getting easier to install arch nowadays which i am thankful for
The only problem i had Is that on my second device It would not recognize Networks . I did all like the tutorials. Nothing. Idk why. But in my 1st device everything runs smoothly
@GrevoxYT yeah, I need to go back and install arch again since my problem was I forgot to set superuser and root access for myself so can't do anything without it 🙃 😅
Excellent video Jay, I've been wanting to try the manual install for a while. I didn't load the gnome pkgs since I'm going to do wayland and hyprland soon. I noticed grub loaded the -lts version of the kernel by default. After plodding through the manuals and online, it's due to grub using sort -V when looking at the config file when it's configured. The -lts (backup) kernel is sorted first. It's fine, gives me something to troubleshoot :). Thank you again for a very detailed explanative video.
at 37:30, you did not explain anything storge related, and now I cannot revert or change my voulme storge, Im new to linux and I only have 32gig of storge, according to internet I'd have to troubleshoot and do alot of changes just to get it back to normal
I loved your channel, you explain all the content very well, you make a great contribution to the community that enjoys learning about this beautiful distribution, greetings from Chile
Jay you are my fav but I'm gonna resent you a little bit because you uploaded this right after I already installed arch hahaha. Great video as always tho
hi i am a window user since 1993 i wanna shift to Linux i choose fedora and manjaro so tell me which distro should i use and i don't wanna change distro one after another one
Super noob question. Followed the tutorial perfectly but at 58:00, when we mounted the 1st partition, good so far. Before exiting chroot environment, I accidentally umount -a before exiting the environment. I assume that since we immediately unmounted everything in root, it is most likely ok? Please if someone can let me know and tell me if I screwed up in the final 3 minutes, that would be great lol.
Installing arch linux is the equivalent of the final boss and archinstall command is like the strongest sword in the game and the wiki is like the game wiki and beating the boss fight gives u the big prize of the arch OS
It won't let me mount nvme0n1p1, it says (hint) fsusb has been modified, uses the old version. When I write out systemctl daemon-reload as it says, it says running chroot, ignores daemon reload . This is after selecting the language
Linux is NOICE !! It's my 2nd installation today both done side by side your instructions. I messed the first time, part due to lack of sleep, part due to panick because of realising I'm gonna lose my entire data on my PC and part due to hurry leaving Microsoft Windows [~10 years of my OS].
I screwed up the first time (back when I was using his older tutorial). No biggie (I expected to blow stuff up) ... just started over. He does good tutorials.
I followed along twice in the last two days, still messing something up somewhere in the process. But I have a question, could I skip the whole encryption section, and instead of lvm, simply use ext4 to format my root and home partitions?
awesome tutorial! How come the mount of partition 1 came after the genfstab? (some other guides only do a boot partition and not two partitions for efi and for boot) curious about this approach to that

When i type grub-install i have problem. EFI variables are not supported on thia system, grub-install error: efibootmgr faild to register the boot entry: no such file or directory, how can i solve that ?
Same problem
Same problem
In my opinion, the video should have more closely followed the Arch wiki section on pacstrap and pacman package installation. For example, the wiki suggests pacstrapping the base and linux packages. Then chroot in to install the rest using pacman. While the video way works, there is value in following the wiki closer. Thanks.
how much space does all the packages need? i only have 14.7 gb on my laptop
For the disk partition section 26:00, is it possible to create the x3 specific partitions without affecting other partitions in the drive.
At 27:28 when u say "if ur device identifier is something like /dev/sda, then ur not going to type sda1 or sda2 just sda" Here I assume this is only if u want to install the distro in the complete drive, however if ur intention wasto install it in a specific partition then I assume u can use the specific partition path /dev/sdax ? 🤔
Thank you Now I run Arch Linux ❤
After the installation, I am getting greeted by the bios - any ideas ?
if I want to dualboot linux, do I still do "fdisk /dev/nvme0n1"? or should I do it on the partition I want to replace? e.g. "fdisk /dev/nvme0n1p3"? (in relation to ~ 27:30 in the video)
Setting up Arch is getting easier day by day. I don't see any reason to hear Arch is for advanced users anymore. Arch is for everyone!
You also have arch based distributions like endeavor and garuda that are simple enough to setup and use. I do agree that it is getting easier to install arch nowadays which i am thankful for
The only problem i had Is that on my second device It would not recognize Networks . I did all like the tutorials. Nothing. Idk why. But in my 1st device everything runs smoothly
@GrevoxYT yeah, I need to go back and install arch again since my problem was I forgot to set superuser and root access for myself so can't do anything without it 🙃 😅
Yah, I absolutely agree with you. I never use linux but I started from arch. I never regret my choice
So is there no reason to say "I use Arch, BTW" anymore because of Arch installing simplicity?
This video is a huge help. Thank you for making it.
Great Video
Can you tell me how to remove the luks encryption without deleting the partition.
Excellent video Jay, I've been wanting to try the manual install for a while. I didn't load the gnome pkgs since I'm going to do wayland and hyprland soon. I noticed grub loaded the -lts version of the kernel by default. After plodding through the manuals and online, it's due to grub using sort -V when looking at the config file when it's configured. The -lts (backup) kernel is sorted first. It's fine, gives me something to troubleshoot :). Thank you again for a very detailed explanative video.
at 37:30, you did not explain anything storge related, and now I cannot revert or change my voulme storge, Im new to linux and I only have 32gig of storge, according to internet I'd have to troubleshoot and do alot of changes just to get it back to normal
I loved your channel, you explain all the content very well, you make a great contribution to the community that enjoys learning about this beautiful distribution, greetings from Chile
Excellent job! Thank you for this level of quality 👏
You are the coldest man on UA-cam dude.
37:05 HELP, I’m stuck… I’m using a crappy chromebook that only has like 20gb of storage… what size am I supposed to use??
Just use archinstall vro 🤦
Followed everything went smoothly 💯💯
Thank you so much. This eas a daunting task as a newbie and you made it simple.
Jay you are my fav but I'm gonna resent you a little bit because you uploaded this right after I already installed arch hahaha. Great video as always tho
hi i am a window user since 1993 i wanna shift to Linux i choose fedora and manjaro so tell me which distro should i use and i don't wanna change distro one after another one
endeavourOS
These tutorials are great. Thanks so much for making all this content.
Super noob question. Followed the tutorial perfectly but at 58:00, when we mounted the 1st partition, good so far. Before exiting chroot environment, I accidentally umount -a before exiting the environment. I assume that since we immediately unmounted everything in root, it is most likely ok? Please if someone can let me know and tell me if I screwed up in the final 3 minutes, that would be great lol.
@learnlinuxtv sir what is the screen resolution of your monitor? and what brand? Thanks.
Installing arch linux is the equivalent of the final boss and archinstall command is like the strongest sword in the game and the wiki is like the game wiki and beating the boss fight gives u the big prize of the arch OS
16:37 The only option available here was grub. When I reboot, it throws me to the gnu Grub command line. Is there any way for me to fix this?
Thank you for this tutorial. It’s really make the whole process less scary for a Linux newbie like me 😅
thanks, thats a really great guide especially for newbies like me
It won't let me mount nvme0n1p1, it says (hint) fsusb has been modified, uses the old version. When I write out systemctl daemon-reload as it says, it says running chroot, ignores daemon reload .
This is after selecting the language
Linux is NOICE !!
It's my 2nd installation today both done side by side your instructions. I messed the first time, part due to lack of sleep, part due to panick because of realising I'm gonna lose my entire data on my PC and part due to hurry leaving Microsoft Windows [~10 years of my OS].
I screwed up the first time (back when I was using his older tutorial). No biggie (I expected to blow stuff up) ... just started over. He does good tutorials.
Is the method the same when installing as a virtual machine?
Thank you for this, very clear and well explained.
I followed along twice in the last two days, still messing something up somewhere in the process. But I have a question, could I skip the whole encryption section, and instead of lvm, simply use ext4 to format my root and home partitions?
awesome tutorial! How come the mount of partition 1 came after the genfstab? (some other guides only do a boot partition and not two partitions for efi and for boot) curious about this approach to that
Sorry if I missed this, but why do you choose LVM as the type?
Sweet. I just installed it today. Will look to see what I can learn. 😊
