yes because i am not some stupid normalfag who has other things to do i was born to work with Arch

Sounds like you have multiple drives and were assigning mount points based their names in /dev instead of fs labels or UUIDs. In other words, you fucked up, not Linux.
I don't know what usb writers you were using but dd works every time for every Linux ISO I've ever tried. Linux can't be blamed for it inconsistency of random closed source chinkware.

Imagine not knowing how to use UUIDs in fstab. Yikes.
Luke Ortiz
>>Put the ssd in a different sata port >>Linux won't be able to boot if you used uuid this wouldnt have happened or if you used any boot system other than grub, systemdboot for example which is easy as all hell to use

Same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Could it be a problem with Manjaro? I tried with Deepin Boot Maker and Unetbootin. Other iso's I tried (Opensuse, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Mint, MX Linux) all worked flawlessly.

the irony is that you are the reason why it will never be desktop viable over osx or other more polished unix-based OS (windows 10 will be one of them soon)

I'm so fucking tired of these threads. we get 3 or more of them every single day. shut the fuck up you fucking idiot and solve the problem yourself instead of going on Jow Forums and being angry about your lack of intelligence. stop posting it's because calamares is a shit installer and it always fails
Gabriel Wilson
Maybe you should stop using archaic shit like grub when systemd-boot exists. You should also always use labels or UUIDs instead of /dev/sd* you fucking nigger.
Check my simple systemd-boot entry as example:
title Arch Linux - ck linux /vmlinuz-linux-ck-sandybridge initrd /intel-ucode.img initrd /initramfs-linux-ck-sandybridge.img options root=LABEL=archroot rw audit=0 mitigations=off

Thomas Morris
in linux all drives are listed in /dev/, but these names are generated dynamically at boot time, so they change if you change the order of or number of drives. Linux keeps it's file system information in a text file, /etc/fstab. This is where you add, remove, information about what drives you want to mount and what options you want to use. When you assign drives to mount points you can call the drive by one of several names, it's name in /dev/, it's file system label, or its UUID. it's never recommended to call it by it's /dev/ name because it can change if the hardware configuration changes, that was OPs mistake.
dd is a command in *nix systems do directly copy data from file, filesystem, or block device to another. for example copying an iso to a usb is "dd if=/path/to/linux.iso of=/dev/[drive name]".
Ryder Parker
That’s what you get for using arch faggot. The manjaro installer doesn’t add UUID to fstab because the devs are retards.

Use mkfstab to do automatically
Jeremiah Gonzalez
When you try to drive nails with the handle of a hammer, it might work some times, but it's retarded. When you assign mounts based on dev names, it might work sometimes, but it's retarded. Complaining when these approaches aren't as effective or foolproof as the intended use of the tools is even more retarded.

Linux will only waste your time if you mess around with meme distros.
Andrew Flores
I know. But still it should check other partitions and suggest loading from it if there is an error. Is this so hard to implement?
Most distros will drop you to a single user shell on failures like that, allowing you to fix any problems, mount and drives, or do what ever needs doing to get your system to a boot-able state.
Sebastian Nguyen
thanks distros for giving me the opportunity of wasting time on trivial shit
Cooper Mitchell
yes, but makes sure you put UUID= there. so "root=UUID=[the uuid]"

I'm in full-systemd/Linux mode. I also let systemd auto-manage my swap file with systemd-swapd and removed dnsmasq in favor of systemd-resolvd. There's a fucking systemd daemon for anything lel.

The systemd-boot config files are objectively way more simple and clean. Grub is a fucking mess.

With gdisk, like this:

Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING PARTITIONS!!
Do you want to proceed? (Y/N): Y OK; writing new GUID partition table (GPT) to /dev/sda. Warning: The kernel is still using the old partition table. The new table will be used at the next reboot or after you run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8) The operation has completed successfully.
Do the same for your EFI partition, only with the appropriate hex var for EFI partitions.

That's a bios issue sonnie. Maybe you should enable the other sata ports or change your boot config.
I can literally swap my drive to any sata port and into any computer and as long as it's 64-bit with Sata:AHCI instead of Sata:IDE mode it'll run.

You have to update the /etc/fstab file Use sudo blkid to see the mounted drives and then export that to /etc/fstab
