"arch-chroot /mnt" fails

I have a classical grub2 boot on a NVME disk with a W10 and two Arcolinux and a sda disk with another linux. I use linux-lts. My working partitions are n1p5 (/) and n1p6 (/home)
Arcolinux forum switched recently to Discord and I cannot join it from China…

so this is it

To correct any future Grub problem, I downloaded the Arch iso from the first of March 2025 (1.2 Mo) and tried to use arch-chroot /mnt, after mounting n1p5 to /mnt and n1p1 to /mnt/boot/efi.

n1p5 is my root partition (ext4)
n1p1 is my boot partition (Fat 32)


the reply was:

bash: neofetch: command not found

`I do not understand this reply. Like many Arch users, recently we switched from neofetch to fastfetch. I just expected that the iso should accept the command. I remember using it four years ago without any problem.`

You may need to adjust where your preformatted-text starts and ends in your post, @roger64. For example, you have this image trapped in a preformatted-text block so it’s not displaying:

Exactly. @roger64’s post needs a complete edit.

I think I have deciphered his post…

Unless the error throws the chroot off?, everything should be fine.

Please accept my apologies and thanks for your help. It was indeed a useless post.

@UncleSpellbinder @Bink for cleaning my post
@dbrronoss for giving me the solution

I did not occur to me that, after receiving quite an unclear reply from the iso, the chroot had indeed taken place and I could proceed to repair my grub…
