easy-arch VS archinstall

arch can be installed by scripts alone https://github.com/classy-giraffe/easy-arch

I won't lie, I usually use Fedora because they make BTRFS and encryption easy, but I used this the other day and it worked beautifully.

I am looking for some help with an Arch install. I have created a horrible file from the wiki and a few other guides (mostly easy-arch I've found in an attempt to create the following system:

This is a script by classy-giraffe which is designed for easy-to-make custom install script. I use this for my own install script (although, for privacy reason, I cannot share my version yet). Check it out here.

Here's a link of the project I posted on GitHub. Thank you so much! <3

In any case, have you studied https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archinstall and https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall. While archinstall is new and has the expected bugs, I've not had your issues before. You might try an earlier ISO, like Oct 2023, though it's not clear if you're using an ISO or the archinstall installed package.

I'm using my laptop as dual boot between Manjaro and Windows 10, I tried for months to install ArchLinux using archinstall tool but the operation always fails with random errors, because I want to install it on a single ext4 partition like how Manjaro is installed. Is there any trusted GUI installer that uses calamares and can install pure ArchLinux ?

The related issue https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/1111 implies it's fixed, but either way, you can just securely delete your password after the install.

Mount that partition as /efi. Change this in your /etc/fstab as well. This is a good time to remove all the weird carriage returns that archinstall puts in your fstab file (https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/1399).

Most distros have a nice graphical installer which does make things less of a hassle. But these days Arch also bundles archinstall which is quite easy to use and supports a few display environments for automatic setup right out the gate which is nice.

Or just use archinstall which is official part of the iso file.

You can post an issue at: https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall to get the attention of the developer. He's represented here but I forget his user id.

If you're still suffering with this problem: Maybe try to find the file/module on your system. If it's present, you might want to try to run this pacman -Sy python archinstall (found it here: https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/1810) to reinstall python and the archinstall script. I hope that this helps you.

Still feels that it is in rapid development phase, rather than just maintenance, last month I encountered this bug
