Welcome @Robert-59 nice to meet you.
Thank you I hope to learn a lot from all of you.
Almost every week I learn something new here or a new or more efficient way of doing something. If you stick around I’m sure you will also. ![]()
Hi
I’m a Finnish bus driver and I tried to install Arch Linux.
It didn’t work.
Hi, @Edith ![]()
Welcome to our community!
I am not an Arch Linux user, but the initial steps for Linux are essentially common.
-
Did you successfully download an “Live ISO image” for Arch Linux?
-
Did you successfully copy that onto a DVD or USB key?
-
Did you successfully tell you BIOS/UEFI to choose that device for boot priority?
-
Did the Live session come up with a GUI where you can open a Terminal session with access to the command line?
(This is critical, because success at this point tells us that the chosen distro’s Live environment can fully recognize your critical core hardware. If this step fails, then there is a need to use completely different strategies to analyze the problem.) -
If so, please share with the Community the report of the following commands, so that they can fully understand your hardware context:
sudo inxi -Fxxx
sudo lspci
sudo lsusb
After studying those details, the Arch adepts will have a better understanding of how best to guide your next steps at troubleshooting and installation.
