i will add that this is the third reinstallation done with a flash drive, i have used both balena etcher and the dd command (as it says in the eos site on how to do the install). it always gives the same problem
yes, i tried with linux-lts but it gives the same problem. using linux-lts (fallback initramfs) it stops one line before (the one where it says “reached target basic system.”) and after a while it appears:
since the network was working I did: pacman -Syu
and installed the missing packages
then exited chroot and did: sudo umount -l /mnt
then I closed the terminal and nothing worked, everything I touched said I didn’t have permissions, so I did a forced shutdown of the computer and when it rebooted it went in. I tried it for a while and so far it’s not giving me any problems.
How could one be missing these packages from installing EOS as per topic title. Most of those aren’t installed on an EOS install. Doesn’t make sense to me.
I followed what the installer said. Maybe because I had installed it on an external ssd and then did the install on my pc’s ssd. It still seems strange to me though because to install it on my pc I did a fresh install.
I’m also confused and trying to make sense of this, about the only thing that I can think is maybe tried to install during live session or tried after without updating mirrors.
