no:-/ How do I do that? (sry)

23

Open a text editor and edit the file /mnt/etc/fstab. Find the line for /efi. Then change UUID on that line to 331A-4FEB

I received an Error

Because you canā€™t edit that file as a normal user.

You need to edit the file as root. Since you are on the live ISO, it is fine to run the text editor with sudo. I think it is xed on the ISO so close it and try typing sudo xed from a new terminal. Not the one you are using for the chroot.

It is done Thank You soo much. I really thought it wasnt possible

Just to make it completely clear: on a live ISO, there is no danger of doing that, because the ISO is immutable, so you canā€™t break it, but you should never run GUI programs with sudo on your actual, installed system.

Awesome to watch you guys save us noobs. You mentioned donā€™t run GUI programs with sudoā€¦ I occasionally run bleachbit to remove useless localizations, and Iā€™ve been starting it in the terminal with sudo. Otherwise theyā€™re not accessible. Is there a better way?

Yeah, donā€™t use bleachbit. Itā€™s terrible software, you donā€™t need it.

What does this command do exactly? Is it different than removing cache with pacache?

Edit: example

pachche -r

32

So I hear. Only used it for locales. I think I have localepurge working. Thanks!

33

Removes unwanted locales, they take a fair bit of space.

34

This is different then the settings file locales? Where do they originate from?

Edit: You also have to install this package i assume?

35

They get installed with a lot of packages, but who needs vietnamese or chinese, unless you come from there :smiley:

Yes it is in the aur, install it, run it, report how much disk space you recover!!

*They = locales

[ricklinux@rick-ms7c37 ~]$ sudo localepurge

          You have to configure "localepurge" by editing

              /etc/locale.nopurge file

          to make /usr/bin/localepurge actually start to function.

          Nothing to be done, exiting ...

I guess i have to edit the conf file? What do you put in it or set?

Edit: Do you just uncomment this?

#DONTBOTHERNEWLOCALE

Edit: I think i figured it out. I only use english anyway.

[ricklinux@rick-ms7c37 ~]$ sudo localepurge
Some new locales have appeared on your system:

They will not be touched until you reconfigure localepurge
with the following command:

    /usr/bin/localepurge-config
