[1a] | Arch Linux Base Install on UEFI - New Series

UPDATE 2 : Since the July 2020 ISO the wifi-menu command is not anymore available. To connect to a wireless network use iwctl as per the Arch Wiki.

UPDATE: Since the release of the kernel 5.7 creating a Swapfile with fallocate will not work at reboot. Create one with the command "dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=512 status=progress" (for a 512M swapfile for example) and everything will work fine again.

This is video n. 1a in the new series of Arch Linux installations. This video is for UEFI systems. The idea is to make the installation modular. After installing the Base System you can go ahead and select the videos for installing Dekstop Environments or Window Managers. I hope you enjoy the new series!

This is one of the best Arch install tutorials. Very easy to understand and explains why your doing each step. Great job.

Ciao Ermanno! Grazie alla tua guida ho installato per la prima volta Arch sul mio portatile, ti ringrazio davvero tantissimo! Continua così 😁

[harshuldesai]

Great video! Installation is easy as a pie after seeing this. Thank you very much, Ermanno!

Good evening,
Always well explained! my installation in UEFI which resembles that with KDE is working very well as of today I hope to manage to maintain it now.
Bravo for all your tutorials

[leverkuhn]

Installing arch becomes waaay too easy, because of you, Ermanno ! It supposed to be difficult ! 😉

[sgtnasty]

Great instructional video, really breaks it down. I followed this the first time and removed Manjaro and installed plain Arch with this video. Now I wrote some notes of my own and can proceed to replaces all my Fedora and CentOS with Arch.
Thank you so much!

[falapt]

thank you Ermanno. Thanks to this video I got the courage to install arch and it went great :)

You are the best teacher sir, clear explanations. Subscribed

Very nice video.. I tried installing by referring the wiki but had some problems after reboot... This video helped me get Arch up and running

[The_Robert.Fletcher]

What an excellent tutorial everything is so clear. Thank you.

[jakedobbins]

Thank You Ermanno for the nvidia driver instructions! Much appreciated!!

[Zwygi]

Great tutorial, easy to follow ! Thanks for making such great tutorials. Greetings from Thurgau 🍎🇨🇭

[andriirubtsov]

Great tutorial! it does not go into details of what exactly is going on (for that I can recommend Luke Smith Arhc install or plain Arch wiki), but for someone who knows what is going on but does not remember all the commands by heart this is very useful.


Minor: I think user password change at 26:00 should be `passwd ermanno`, otherwise it changes root pass.

[marvicdigital]

Thanks, your install arch is very easy, and clear for beginners...thankyou....

[mycal]

i did everything in your tutorial on a vm then when it prompts me for my password and login it says incorrect

[mwgg]

Ermanno! It's not taking my password after the reboot. I followed your steps very very closely pausing the video at every step. root password took, but I cannot login as my name as you describe at 27:16. Is there a mistake in the video? I don't understand. I uncommented the line in visudo. Doesn't make sense. :(

[tobiaslarsen]

Nice Video. Thank you very much. Can you make a video how to use Timeshift in that way you can load a restore directly from the Bootscreen?

[Degist]

I am doing everything correctly but unfortunately I cannot log into the user account. Do you know what the problem could be? This is my second installation and it's the same.
