[FAILED] Failed to start Load/Save Screen Backlight Brightness of backlight:acpi_video0

I tried many things that I found in other forums and most were adding things like this in the grub config GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT = "quiet acpi_backlight = vendor" but this did not work for me, if someone has happened to you and could solve it it would be very helpful

That should not be a show stopper for installing Arch. You can probably ignore it for now.

What video subsystem does your system have. What is your system?

Well, it happened after the first boot when I passed the grub it stayed there then it let me enter a terminal, there I tried to do things to avoid that message but nothing worked, if I looked at the status it told me no such: device and as I said I tried already about the grub in the end I decided to install another distro for now and reinstall later

This is Arch Linux. The expected behavior during installation is to end up in a terminal.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Backlight - as ewaller pointed out: this is not the cause for "it let me enter a terminal"
You won't have backlight control (for the moment), but during the installation process you don't need it either.

The arch installation iso only provides a linux console, there's no installation GUI to click yourself through.

It was after the whole installation process, and it only left me a few minutes before I could continue to my already installed system, I guess I have to configure something. (it's my first time installing arch)

The backlight message will not inhibit the multi-user nor graphical target.

it only left me a few minutes before I could continue to my already installed system

What?

Random stalls in the boot can occur because of entropy starvation, https://wiki.debian.org/BoottimeEntropyStarvation & https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Haveged
The GUI target currently fails for ppl. because it's started before the GPU is ready, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel … _KMS_start

If neither is the cause of your problem, please elaborate on the symptoms. Are you being dropped into a rescue shell?
What other messages do you get?

You may want to configure your backlight, but disfunctional backlight control should™ not reach beyond the inability to control the backlight.

Arch Linux
