Hopefully he can help me 
Yeah I might convert to that.
Glad it works for you .
What is the vmlinuz-linux image?
It’s what contains the kernel …

You need to update the installer in the live session with pacman -Syy archlabs-installer then you run the installer with installer.
We will have a new release out soon that corrects this issue.

Sorry I am going off topic over here but didn’t you used to be a moderator for EndeavourOS?
I did but I asked for that honour to be given to someone else. I don’t have the time to offer to be a Mod here as well as AL forum as well as real life.

Yeah I have done that and I still get errors and such. I just install a small Arch based ISO or Arch, add your repo to the pacman.conf, and build it from there or the packages I clone off the BitBucket. It works fine, it’s much easier than dealing with the installer lol. But thanks for the info and the heads up. I dig Archlabs, and all the people over at their forum.
I am gonna give that installer another try on my other laptop. I needed to work on ti toady anyway lol.

Did it work by any chance?
Thanks for the kind words.
Nah but it might had been a brain fart on my end. I did the update, but forgot I needed to have it connected to ethernet instead of wifi, connected that, did the update, and entered archlabs-installer instead of just installer, did the process once more, and it borked out oddly where Anarchy’s installer has a similar issue - where it has errors with the QT5 libraries and packages. Anarchy’s has had errors lately too. It’s no biggie, I still get Archlabs from it’s repo with a vanilla Arch install, or I’ll use ArchBang’s and make that into Archlabs lol.
But that’s really cool of dobbie to give me a heads up here at EOS’ forum. I dig a lot of dobbie’s stuff from when I lurk over at Archlabs (I think I see him at Bunsen as well), and I appreciate the attention to the issue as an end user. I have to do an edit on Bunsen’s to make that one work too, but that’s why I use both Arch and Debian because I can use their ISO’s, and build whatever on them. I actually like installing them with the text and command line more than the Calamares (at least EOS has the terminal window that I can keep and eye on). It’s better than seeing the same slide show for a half hour lol.

Thank you for all the great work. Crunchbang was the distro that made me stop using other distro’s, and believe me, and have several shoeboxes of burned ISO’s (because I don’t want to toss plastic disks into landfills) from my endless bummers of installs, and I wear a size 12 shoe in Chuck Taylors. As much as I tried to like DE’s, I find WM’s and a simple bar is the way I want to go. I just gotta get a better handle on Rofi and having it work on several WM’s in the same install lol. I loaded Archcraft on the EOS i3 build (just the WM configs, I don’t want his whole OS, although it’s nice, I just like more control) and the i3 Rofi theme was affected, and then it’s chasing Xresource files, configs, color schemes, and Adi over at Archcraft is all Rofi with his modules lol, but they are super cool.
Thanks! Yes, I am at the BL forum too. I was at the #! forum as well before it shut down.
I can’t take much credit there. The installer is all Nate’s work. A true legend.
I see Archcraft’s place but it has way too much going on for me. Too many unnecessary things included for my taste. Good on Adi for his work and output but it’s not for me.

Glad to hear it. rEFInd is great, definitely made my life easier (well on computers that is).

100% agreed, I don’t even know why most distributions even bother with GRUB over rEFInd.
Well i would disagree booting Windows, 4 linux and Mac never needed to use rEFInd with 6 drives 3 SSD, 3 sata, never had a overwrite grub problem either.
ITs just harder to use GRUB over rEFInd
YOU are joking wtf is hard about Grub

Setting up triple boot just wouldn’t work with it.
In one machine I boot 6 systems with Grub. I could boot more hadn’t been for lack of disk space. So, it’s not the Grub.

Sure, but if a tool like rEFInd is there to use, I say why not use it if it works?
