[SOLVED] Help with arcolinuxb-hyprland-v23.05.04-x86_64.iso

[Morgs]

Ok so im not brand new to linux but I am not and expert either.
I love the hyprland desktrop and I love the way the first install goes on arcolinuxb-hyprland-v23.05.04-x86_64.iso
Here is were im running into a few problems and i have no idea what to do to get it fixed.

• Download ISO arcolinuxb-hyprland-v23.05.04-x86_64.iso

• Install using the easy install from the live session to my base pc AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and Nvidia RTX 3070

• First login fine setup my monitors in the hyprland.conf

• Now try and update the system and here is were things go up in the air

If I run

Code: Select all

update

or

Code: Select all

sudo pacman -Syu

I get errors for GPG keys and the system terminates
To fix teh GPG keys I run

Code: Select all

sudo pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring

wait for it to complete but still get errors figured out I had to update this as well

Code: Select all

arcolinux-keyring

Finally I can update, the system updates and asks to be rebooted
I reboot and then I get the sddm login screen but I cant login if i try all I get is booted back to sddm screen
I go into tty and try run Hyprland from the tty and I get random errors about sockets not being able to open but nothing that points to the issue.

Ok so whats next I read on my work laptop as I dont have a gui anymore and someone in the forum responds about reading the update and points to the previous iso that changed so I cant see that being the issue

I try the advice of the person and I build my own iso keep it as is so that I can start with something base to work with this builds fine I jump onto the liveusb i created and everything works. Now with my fresh new arcolinuxb-hyprland-v23.09.03-x86_64.iso I install and I run into a grub panic cant set mode normal issue.
I try and find some info but nothing seems to work. Could this be an xfs problem that I am getting the grub panic?

So my question for help is:

• Do I stay on this version until there is a new iso?

• Is there a way to get updated iso as I love the hyprland setup arco has done as everything and I mean everything steam, heroic, and all the games are working

• Is there a way to get my update to not break my system?

• Is there any info I can share?

XFS is out for the moment - not in Calamares any longer - developer stopped

Do I stay on this version until there is a new iso?

sure - just update and keep rolling - On Arch Linux there is no need to reinstall - until you messed up your system

Is there a way to get updated iso as I love the hyprland setup arco has done as everything and I mean everything steam, heroic, and all the games are working

build your own iso as you did via https://arcolinuxb.com - xfs is no longer included as it is not working with grub

Is there a way to get my update to not break my system?

just update and reboot

Is there any info I can share?

here and on discord

Hi Erik

Thanks for the response I have some updates on my post.

I have changes to brtfs as I understand it breaks grub
I have also paused the update to grub as it sends me to the grub_is_shim_lock enabled even though i did not change grub and I dont have secure boot enabled.
The update still breaks the hyprland system and I all i get is endless loop to sddm login.
I have tried to build my own ISO and I get the same result. I boot the live iso, I install and reboot into endless loop sddm.
The guys on discord did try and help but for some reason I cannot figure out why its causing this

[erikdubois]

try ext4

that is what I have and I updated yesterday and rebooted fine

@Morgs isn't this the same issue posted in the Hyprland support channel on Discord.
The last update there suggests you got things working.

Morgs: Ok got the update to work finaly
Morgs: 1 ) Disabled grub update as it was causing grub_shim_is_enabled issue
2 ) used the hyprland wiki to add the nvidia settings to grub and env vars
3 ) Updated and im back in my desktop

If yes then this issue should be marked as [SOLVED]
