12/27/2023 0 Comments EndeavourosI always prefer to install any operating systems in English, so I select “American English”: I choose the “Online” method because I want to install GNOME instead of Xfce. Then, let’s update the mirrors (typically by selecting your state and possibly another one near you) with the “Welcome” application: You might also want to change the keyboard layout (Disable system defaults and install your layout, in my case, it’s the Italian layout): I got another menu (that’s something new), where I selected GRUB:Īs usual, the first thing to do, once booted into the live environment, XFCE, is set up the network connection. Moreover, once I selected the “Cassini” ISO: I first made sure to update Ventoy because I read that the old versions did not work correctly with the latest Arch-based ISOs. Installationįirst, I’m using Ventoy to boot the installer because I keep several Linux ISOs on the USB stick. This time, I’ll install GNOME (but I’ll briefly say something about the KDE version at the end of this article). Indeed, the KDE and GNOME environments are vanilla ones, with only a few customizations. Most of all, EndeavourOS is pure Arch but with outstanding defaults. Moreover, they switched from “mkinitcpio” to “dracut” for the generation of initramfs ( this requires a few adjustments if you want to enable hibernation). This installation is smooth, with some novelties: you can choose between “grub” and “systemd-boot” now. I’ll first go through the installation, but I can anticipate that, once again, I’m impressed by EndeavourOS. However, I wanted to try this new release by installing it from scratch (of course, using BTRFS). Since EndeavourOS, based on Arch, is a rolling release, I update it almost daily and don’t need to install it from scratch when a new release comes out, like Cassini, released a few days ago. Sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.I have already blogged about EndeavourOS, which I use most of the time on all my computers (desktops and laptops). Save the file and regenerate grub.cfg again: Os-prober is troublesome in some cases, but it is used to autodetect other OS to add them to boot menu.Įdit /etc/default/grub and change this: GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true Grub no longer has os-prober enabled per default: Now GRUB is repaired and you should be able to boot into your system again. Would be the command to use in this example.Ģ. Grub-install -bootloader-id=endeavouros-4084 So using this as -bootloader-id option will make sure you will boot on the fixed files you just install. So best practice will be to use the existing ID you can check with efibootmgr : default boot entry is 0004 that has the bootloader-id endeavouros-4084 If not used it will use the GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR= entry from the grub main config in /etc/default/grub, in case this is not the same as used before for bootloader-id it will create a new entry. The -bootloader-id option will create a new entry with the given ID that in some cases will not get set as the default boot entry in the firmware. Only grub-install is needed no need to add any options (at least on EndeavourOS where we use the default efi-path /boot/efi what is the default used for the command already. Mount all the root partitions on your machine as described in the Arch-chroot article above, this will speed up the process. Now GRUB is repaired and you should be able to boot into your system again.īefore you are going to repair GRUB, you should also check your EFI-boot-settings, this also can be the reason why GRUB isn’t booting. Remember, the X must be replaced with the letter that is marked in your situation, for instance, /dev/sda If you only have EndeavourOS installed go directly to step two. This package will scan all your operating systems installed and put them in GRUB. If you have more than one operating system installed on your machine, run os-prober first before you proceed. And like this if you are booted in Bios legacy mode (MBR)īefore you proceed, these instructions are made for a standard automatic installation, if you installed the system with a modified manual partition scheme, just ask our community on the forum and make sure you provide them with the needed logs with our log tools. Sudo efibootmgr It Will show like so if you are booted in UEFI mode. To validate if you are on UEFI or not run: It plays an essential part in booting up your EndeavourOS system but sometimes due to an update or perhaps because of you tinkering with the system, Grub refuses to boot.ĭon’t worry there are only a couple of steps needed to repair GRUB, so you can get into the system as you’re used to.įirst, you have to Chroot into the system, just follow the steps described in these article: EndeavourOS comes with GRUB pre-installed and, in case you don’t know what GRUB is, it is one of the first screens that displays the Linux kernels you have installed on the system.
