Problems installing Endeavour

Hey, its my first time on this forum, so don’t be too harsh. I’m not very good with Linux, although i have been using it for a month or so. I have tried to install Endeavour using Balena Etcher but it just booted me into the normal Arch installation (in command line) and also had the USB named as Arch. Is this normal? And if it isn’t, how do i fix it?

If you need some information about my computer to answer my question, feel free to ask below.

That’s not supposed to happen. EndeavourOS normally boots into a graphical installer (Calamares), not the plain Arch command line. It sounds like Balena Etcher didn’t flash the ISO properly. That tool sometimes has issues with Linux ISOs.

I personally prefer Ventoy. You just have to drag and drop the ISO into it.

Thanks! This worked for me! Only problem i have now is that i installed it alongside my main system (Fedora) but now i cant access it.

Hey @yuki welcome to the forums!

I believe Fedora utilizes grub. Did you use the systemd or grub bootloader on install?

I used systemd, i had to go into BIOS and set it manually.

Ok so is everything working now or are you still unable to dual boot?

Hi yuki & welcome here!
If you run 2 or more different Distros in one machine, maybe you should try rEFInd.
It boots the kernels directly.
But, if one of your sys needs a special feature of grub or something else, you shoud check it once more…

P.S. These ‘broken sticks’ I know, if I pull them out when some data are still pending. Give a ‘$ sync’ on commandline - I am surprised, how long I have to wait sometimes…

Welcome to the forum :enos_flag: :enos:
Well I use Fedora as well and as far as I can tell Grub should find EOS and add it to Grub.
If that doesn’t happen maybe take a look at this page If you want to use systemd as a bootloader you can also chainload the fedora grub bootloader Systemd boot not showing my other distro on the same drive in the boot options menu
