Mac M2, UTM Arch base, install script - no login greeter just cli

ARM Installation

Hi there,

Hoping this is a simple one - I searched for similar but couldn’t find one - happy to be redirected if someone knows this has already been covered.

I’m trying to setup an EndeavourOS install on my Mac Mini M2.
So far, I installed UTM and their ArchLinux ARM template.
Then I followed https://github.com/endeavouros-arm/manuals/blob/master/EOS-desktop-instructions.odt

It seemed to go right without any noticeable errors.

But upon reboot I just get CLI login instead of any login greeter or DE.

Any ideas on how to get the desktop login?
Something else I need to do?

Thanks!

Anyway, here is what I did:

After you get the base arch system booted, I just carried on with EndeavourOS desktop setup - here:

And I now have my EndeavourOS install on my Mac Mini M2! :slight_smile:
