An amazing Arch installation guide! I hope everyone is sharing this video with other people :) If you're ever gonna make an updated version of this video, I would suggest you to include the installation of the home partition because new Arch users should know about it, and it's awesome for bare bone Arch! Keep it up champ
Amazing video! cover all points and extras for full Arch install, as part of Bluetooth, you must include pulseaudio-bluetooth package if you want pair BT headsets or speakers, amazing job congratulations!.
I find your videos the easiest to follow. I did have a small hiccup because I didn't read the updated notes regarding the swapfile, But that was easily solved upon checking archwiki. If I was only to follow the wiki I would be lost in the grub installation. Thank you Sir for the nice and clear tutorial video.
This was the best guide I ever seen! Some things to add/change. Wifi-menu is changed to iwctl during installation. When booting into desktop I needed to change language and keymap again. I guess xorg has different files that needs to be fixed.
Thanks Kenth! There are updates in the video description about the changes around iwctl and fallocate. When booting into the graphical environment the keyboard has to be reset. About the language though I’m not sure, I’ll have to check that out. Cheers :)
Came here to say I've used this tutorial again on my new rig after trying Ubuntu (slow even with great hardware) and fedora, it still works like charm! 😁 Just the WiFi is a little bit different but nothing like checking the arch wiki to solve the issue. Thank you!
Great tutorial it worked first try, i just think i messed up the swapfile since it is updated and i used the new command in the description, had problems with the official arch install guide as it was too vague and other tutorials were for EFI instead, but this saved me. thanks a lot!!!
Amazing tutorial, it gave me possibility to install Arch for a first time on my UEFI machine, but according to it I installed Arch on my legacy-BIOS laptop. Thanks and awesome job. Clear and nice tutorial :)
Really nice explanation. Just some weeks ago I was looking for some updated minimal arch install video and I didn't manage to find any so I just followed the arch wiki. It's nice now that there is an updated video now. I ended up just installing xorg-server and xorg-xinit and run a tilling window manager but either ways nice guide!
@@eflinux I really love Arch, the simplicity and the power amazing; I am running Manajaro on production desktop + laptop; will it be possible to provide us with a LAMP tutorial? I haven't seen any good one in here and the actual arch wiki is intimidating for an Arch newbie :-) Hope you are staying safe in the middle of all this.
Thanks Alex! I've done a video tutorial on installing Nextcloud on Arch, which includes the LEMP stack (with nginx instead of Apache). You can find it here: th-cam.com/video/SX1JHWViI7E/w-d-xo.html
Nice video EF 👌🏻 Please advise on few doubts: 1. Is ssh needed as I'll install Arch KDE on physical hardware? 2. nstead of mkfs.ext4 is it fine to use mkds.btrfs? 3. How to add pamac, fish-shell, paru instead of yay? Thanks.
Can you elaborate on your update? Is the command in the description given instead of the one shown in the video, or after? Thanks for your time, I've found this to be the most educational and helpful tutorial.
Hi thanks! Yes, exactly. The update of the command is due to recent changes in the Arch ISO and is valid if you’re using the latest June ISO. If you’re using the May ISO you can follow the commands in the tutorial.
Hello again! I've scoured your videos and can't find one on decreasing the boot time for Arch. It has a reputation of being slow to boot. Would you consider doing a video on that?
Thank you so much! My system is now flawless :). One question: are intel-ucodes not necessary anymore? I have an intel cpu, do you recommend me installing it?
Hi Mr. Hermanno Ferrari. Firstly, I want to congrat your work! You are a good teacher and I've been learnig so much about the Arch Linux distribution. Your channel is so enlightening, so much so that I even installed it on my work laptop. But I imagine I have some problems because the machine is older. Could you tell me if Arch linux is viable to install in a VAIO-VPCEH40EB? My best regards...
Hi Allan! Thanks for your feedback! Glad you like the video! I'm pretty sure you could run Arch on that laptop. You have to check if it's a BIOS system, in which case the new I'm uploading today is exactly for that :)
Good evening, During the live earlier I asked you a question about the frequency of updates for Arch, but I did not understand the answer, should we do them every day or twice a week? .I have installed exactly the same things as on the tutorial because since I have only added the Vivaldi browser with yay.
Hi! Thanks for being there! So, I update quite regularly, maybe not every day, but not also 1 time per month. If you don't have many packages installed, you can update quite frequently.
@@eflinux I've used this in about 6 or 7 arch installations lol, thank you again, BTW which part do we run the command to create the swapfile referred on the update on your notes
Could you give me a little advice? How to enable diacritical letters in terminal? (not terminal emulator in desktop environment) I need Polish symbols p.s. I'm subscribing many channels with similar subjects but this one is far better than the rest :) p.s. 2. You have a lot of material. Is there anywhere (on this channel) something about terminal customization (in desktop environment). Something like make autocomplete better? Or just what to do terminal to make it better?
@@eflinux My computer has 4 hard disk drives. When I click on drives, in Dolphin this red banner comes up: An error occurred while accessing , the system responded: The requested operation has failed: Error mounting /dev/sdd1 at /run/media/: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
It seems to be it is mounting an hdd to a directory reserved to mobile storage like usb or cdrom. If that is not your system drive you should mount them to other directories than you can create (like /data or /mnt/data or something like that).
In one of your other arch videos i thought i saw partitioning for /mnt /boot /EFI for the uefi install instead of the /mnt /boot that you have here. Did i remember that wrong?
Hi Tony, that's correct. You can mount on /boot or /boot/efi (or EFI). In most cases /boot is ok. In some instances for example if you install grub-btrfs, it's better to have /boot. Generally speaking /boot is ok and/boot/efi (or EFI) is optional. Cheers :)
Thanks ermanno. Great channel, your videos are very clear and concise. A cut above. One other question, tho. If i wanted to have the linux-lts kernel as backup, i know i need to install both, as well as the headers for both. Is there also an lts version of the linux- firmware? Or just one for all kernels? And will the default boot choice be the newer kernel, or must i choose each time i boot? Thanks again.
Ok, one more, if you don't mind. Further in the guide are the graphics drivers. For a laptop with both Intel and nvidia i assume you must install both driver sets. What in your experience is the best way to manage them?
Hey Tony, thanks for the feedback! You can indeed install an older version of linux-firmware if you want to. Firts remove the current version, then download the older version from the Arch Linux Archive and install with "pacman -U path/to/file". As for the NVIDIA drivers you have 2 options. 1. Use NVIDIA Prime: for this download "nvidia-prime" and it should work. 2. Use optimus-manager (from the AUR) and start and enable the service. This will aloow you to switch cards manually. Cheers :)
@@eflinux -- Great - thanks so much for the help and quick responses. You have created a really excellent channel and tutorials (another happy subscriber...). I've been running Manjaro for three years or so and am planning to switch to pure Arch, and your guides break it all down more clearly that any I've seen.
I've followed these steps in a Windows 10 pro environment using hyper-v as my VM. ssh tunneled via the powershell. It all goes so well. Then in the final reboot, it loads grub no issue. When I go to load Arch linux from here it hangs at: "Starting version 245.6-6-arch" and below that line is reads out: "/dev/sda2: clean, 324436/2613248 files, 3057701/10434299 blocks". I'm wondering if this is related to me choosing the wrong graphics driver perhaps?
@@eflinux Thank you. I would use VB but for some reason VB doesn't seem to ever work. For example - if in System I have Enable EFI selected then it will load but when I select "Arch Linux archiso x86_64 UEFI CD then it will just hang in a black screen. If I Enable EFI unselected then it will load up the graphical interface and when I select "Boot Arch Linux (x86_64) it will hang at "Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... ok". If I set edd to off it will just hang at a black screen. It's so bizarre to me how I seem only able to load a linux environment in hyper-V. in VB, any linux ISO i use doesn't seem to load up properly.
@@eflinux once again, I appreciate you taking the time to address the issues i've been having and presenting. I've tried all graphic controller options within VB. None seem to alleviate this problem. I'm very confused why I cannot seem to get any functionality out of VB. I should mention I have latest version 6.1.10 r138449 (Qt5.6.2)
This will not work, the EFI partition will not show up in /etc/fstab und if you add it manually by looking up the uuid with blkid you will still get the infamous EFI variables are not supported error.
Archlinux said to use pacman -Syu base instead.. is it the same as pacstrap base? also would I do pacman -Syu base first and then pacstrap linux linux-firmware nano?
@@eflinux Yeah I don't know I asked in a forum and this is what they linked me www.archlinux.org/news/base-group-replaced-by-mandatory-base-package-manual-intervention-required/
Yes, that refers to a change that happened last year to the package. Since then, because it is mandatory, it is recommended to pacstrap that during the install. At that time, if you had the "old" package installed, it was recommended to reinstall the new version with pacman -Syy base.
Actually wireless_tools is now deprecated and I don’t install it anymore in new tutorials. The wpa_supplicant is actually a dependency of NetworkManager. It should installed automatically, but I point it out in tutorials as an important package for wireless networks.
Re Goodnight After what would be; I say well would not be bad also a video showing the things to do and those to avoid for a good functioning of an ArchLinux, if it is also necessary from time to time to think of a cleaning because with all these updates I wonder if the system is not "saturated" after a while. Here is if I can give some ideas.
I get stuck at the GRUB section grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/ --bootloader-id=GRUB this is what the sistem return: Installing for x86_64-efi platform. But then these come up: EFI variables are not supported on this system. EFI variables are not supported on this system. grub-install: error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: No such file or directory. I wonder if I can skip it and continue to other process.
When I installed it the day before yesterday I had no problem with GRUB, but swapfile. And it didn’t work. Now I start to reinstalled it again when I realized there was changes in order to get swapfile created.
Ouuff. Last time i did this was in 2016 and then i had no issues(done it many time prior to that) . Was giving it a go today and failed 3 Times haha. Would guess all these years with Linux everyday would help but i guess not. I usually dont give up but im ether going to scrap efi or install some other OS. I never was a fan of following The official wiki and today i got reminded why.
If you mean on a network, you can install Samba. If you're dual booting you can install the ntfs-3g package. I have a video on this coming up soon. Thanks!
Hi Ermanno, Hope you're doing well, I was actually trying to erase my NVME and install ARCH right from the scratch but i did something wrong and now while executing fdisk /dev/nvme0 i'm getting the error where it says fdisk cannot open illegal seek 🙁 any suggestions?
Good evening so I will try an installation on my new computer in UEFI with your tutorial. I just have a question about the graphics card which is an AMD Radeon so I have to type: sudo pacman -S xf86-video-amdgpu?
Thank you very much I almost want to get started now but I will wait until tomorrow because I have things to do; I will keep you posted on the progress of the installation. Thanks again
Hi I am new to Linux, my linux is stuck at "starting version" Tht's probably the swapfile error Can you guide me as to where to type the command that you have given in description!
@@eflinux I figured out the issue, my particular motherboard only boot from fallback directory if there is not a windows image present. During grub-install I used --removable to make grub install the boot image into the default fallback directory; same as windows. Worked like a charm
It works! Though... couldn't boot because "black screen". Tried many options (radeon.modeset=0, etc), no luck. Too bad. Went back to Ubuntu. I think Zenbook doesn't like Arch.
Hey Antonio! What graphic card you have and what is your exact model? If you installed on VBox the problem is with the graphic settings. You can change from VMSvga to VBoxSVGA.
@@eflinux I installed directly on my SSD alongside my win10. I have a rzyen 5 3500u with integrated graphics (vega 8). During installation I installed the amd drivers. No luck
This system is probably loading something it shouldn't. You could try adding this to your Grub conf file: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="iommu=on rcu_nocbs=0-7 processor.max_cstate=1 nopti pti=off amdgpu.gpu_recovery=1 ivrs_ioapic[4]=00:14.0 ivrs_ioapic[5]=00:00.2 clocksource=hpet amd_iommu=on amdgpu.dc=1"
Hello My installation in UEFI went very well except the last three lines, so I did not manage to install YAY which is regrettable because I intended to install my favorite Vivaldi browser with; concerning the installation it is the line "makepkg -si PKGBUILD" which does not work on my premises. I fit well in the file but impossible to fill it therefore. I restarted the computer and everything works nikel does can I try to install YAY again and how? Thank you
Great tutorial, but realy need no UEFI install proces. ;) I got stuck on Grub-install --target=.......(etc) failed... error, EFI variables are not supported on my system. ;) Thanks
I've used installers for Arch before which perhaps is the lazy person's choice I guess, which isn't all that bad, because when installing Arch this way I was already familiar with the system, how to manage it and how not to manage it.

You can follow this tutorial, just replace the name of the disk in your system, for example this one: th-cam.com/video/RJt4i89Ofsw/w-d-xo.html
great :) how share folders? linux - win ?
If you mean on a network, you can install Samba. If you're dual booting you can install the ntfs-3g package. I have a video on this coming up soon. Thanks!
@@eflinux I mean samba :) I don't know how to configure...
I am also interested in plex server with Arch, today i will try it... Best regards
I understand. I'll see if I can make something with that. Let me know how it goes with Plex!
Hi Ermanno,
Hope you're doing well, I was actually trying to erase my NVME and install ARCH right from the scratch but i did something wrong and now while executing fdisk /dev/nvme0 i'm getting the error where it says fdisk cannot open illegal seek 🙁 any suggestions?
I'd reboot again from the ISO and start from scratch.
Hi!! Big Fan of Work....please upload a video for vanilla arch+btrfs+qtile
Good evening so I will try an installation on my new computer in UEFI with your tutorial.
I just have a question about the graphics card which is an AMD Radeon so I have to type:
sudo pacman -S xf86-video-amdgpu?
Hi there! Yes, exactly :)
Thank you very much I almost want to get started now but I will wait until tomorrow because I have things to do; I will keep you posted on the progress of the installation.
Thanks again
Great!
The link to the commands is broken. {July 17th, 2022}
Hi I am new to Linux, my linux is stuck at "starting version" Tht's probably the swapfile error
Can you guide me as to where to type the command that you have given in description!
You'll have to boot from the iso again, remount the partition that you already have, arch-chroot into the system and there create the swapfile.
@@eflinux thank you sir
I've done these exact steps many times and it's still not booting..
What happens when you reboot?
@@eflinux I figured out the issue, my particular motherboard only boot from fallback directory if there is not a windows image present. During grub-install I used --removable to make grub install the boot image into the default fallback directory; same as windows. Worked like a charm
Glad you sorted it out!
It works!
Though... couldn't boot because "black screen". Tried many options (radeon.modeset=0, etc), no luck. Too bad. Went back to Ubuntu. I think Zenbook doesn't like Arch.
Hey Antonio! What graphic card you have and what is your exact model? If you installed on VBox the problem is with the graphic settings. You can change from VMSvga to VBoxSVGA.
@@eflinux I installed directly on my SSD alongside my win10. I have a rzyen 5 3500u with integrated graphics (vega 8). During installation I installed the amd drivers. No luck
This system is probably loading something it shouldn't. You could try adding this to your Grub conf file: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="iommu=on rcu_nocbs=0-7 processor.max_cstate=1 nopti pti=off amdgpu.gpu_recovery=1 ivrs_ioapic[4]=00:14.0 ivrs_ioapic[5]=00:00.2 clocksource=hpet amd_iommu=on amdgpu.dc=1"
@@eflinux I will have to install it again 🤣
Well, I'm learning the hard way ahah
Will create a separate partition alongside Ubuntu and install it
Let me know how it goes! Cheers:)
Hello
My installation in UEFI went very well except the last three lines, so I did not manage to install YAY which is regrettable because I intended to install my favorite Vivaldi browser with; concerning the installation it is the line "makepkg -si PKGBUILD" which does not work on my premises. I fit well in the file but impossible to fill it therefore. I restarted the computer and everything works nikel does can I try to install YAY again and how?
Thank you
If you tried to install YAY as root, that might be the reason. If you are now in Arch, you can follow the same procedure from the terminal.
Great tutorial, but realy need no UEFI install proces. ;)
I got stuck on Grub-install --target=.......(etc) failed... error, EFI variables are not supported on my system. ;)
Thanks
If you're in Virtualbox you need to enable EFI in the machine settings. The BIOS tutorial is coming up today :)
@@eflinux I am not on VB. I am waiting for the bios version, best regards and thank you.
Coming up in a few minutes! Thanks!
It's up and running :)
I've used installers for Arch before which perhaps is the lazy person's choice I guess, which isn't all that bad, because when installing Arch this way I was already familiar with the system, how to manage it and how not to manage it.
I love installing from the terminal, no matter how many times I've already done it :)
This is not about installing arch is about customization
No
I really can't do it with Arch !! I made all the attempts as said on the video = failure and others always fail yay
Just to make sure, you installed git right?
I'm sure
Do you get any error message?
yes any error message
all is the same of you end down at the line "makepkg -si PKGBUILD" not exist PKGBUILD
The mirror lists are just failing nonstop
systemctl enable org.cups.cupsd
Failed to enable unit, unit org.cups.cupsd.service does not exist.
It has been changed to cups.service
