[SOLVED] Don't know how to get out of chroot (archinstall)

SomethingSomething · 2024-04-10 02:17:04

Hi,

I used archinstall to install arch, and at the popup that is talking about if I want to go to chroot, I accidentally said yes (yes, I'm an idiot for doing that). Now I don't know how to get out of chroot and get into the os. Can someone help me?

Just type exit and reboot, you should be good.

Doesn't work for me strangely, I did the exit and then it sent me to the login (still in the bash command shell or whatever you call it), I turned off the laptop with the physical turn off button, turned on, and it still has the command shell. (I set a login if it helps)

Edit: it is called the "vitural console" which I didn't know

The "the bash command shell or whatever you call it" is the "os" you want to get into and chrooting is a critical step of the installation.
Don't use the power button to reboot, use "reboot" or "shutdown" - and also don't use the archinstall script, follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide
It'll make you familiar w/ some basics you need to understand if you want to have *any* chance to actually use archlinux.

Hi, do I just do "exit", login back in the login part and then do "restart"? (In the virtual console)

And also, despite having Ethernet, I ping google.com and it can't resolve the domain, which means there's no internet, so I am unable to install packages I need.

did you actually install and set up the network configuration?

Sorry for lack of updates, I was busy with work.

Anyway, I gave my laptop to a friend of mine that successfully installed Arch on his computer so he can try to fix my problem. He said I forgot to choose the desktop environment, then he reinstalled the Arch for me, installed broadcom-wl-dkms which he said was for internet and firefox, of course. And everything worked now.

Thank you guys for your help, there is no purpose for this account any more so I will delete it.

Be sure that you state that some other person installed Arch on your machine in any future requests for assistance.

I'd also recommend finding better friends. That one did you quite a disservice.
