simonlang Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 ok here it is, though one, hope anyone can solve this. partition layout is as this: [antergos@antergos-iso ~]$ sudo blkid /dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs" /dev/loop1: UUID="81f6bd70-b372-40eb-8328-fb6f5e38870b" TYPE="ext4" /dev/loop2: UUID="81f6bd70-b372-40eb-8328-fb6f5e38870b" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sda1: UUID="0c4ab856-f322-47f6-890f-2d8a38933a75" TYPE="ext2" PARTUUID="000950a7-01" /dev/sda2: UUID="04283c6e-0b9a-4ebb-9cbe-753e51380301" TYPE="swap" PARTUUID="000950a7-02" /dev/sda5: UUID="ed542e6d-f359-486f-a343-2983f234687d" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="000950a7-05" /dev/sda6: LABEL="antergos" UUID="45024965-8045-47a8-861c-12f68636cd66" TYPE="ext4" PTTYPE="dos" PARTUUID="000950a7-06" /dev/sda7: LABEL="antergos_kde" UUID="de455a91-11d3-46e9-b2ee-ad12c01d1b83" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="000950a7-07" /dev/sdb1: UUID="2015-06-28-21-06-59-00" LABEL="ANTERGOS" TYPE="iso9660" PTUUID="6bc22913" PTTYPE="dos" PARTUUID="6bc22913-01" /dev/sdb2: SEC_TYPE="msdos" LABEL="ARCHISO_EFI" UUID="0B63-F8A4" TYPE="vfat" PARTUUID="6bc22913-02" /dev/mapper/arch_root-image: UUID="81f6bd70-b372-40eb-8328-fb6f5e38870b" TYPE="ext4" sda6 is an older installation and its all about sda7 which is my testing partition, had kubuntu running there now wanna make it an antergos kde partition, however the installer quits at the end and claims that it cant write grub2 or something like that. the installation itself is done. so i need to fix the bootloader and dont know the commands. i have only one hdd so mbr is on sda. i have tried several suggestions on various websites which offer some grub-restore commands or something like that but no luck. anyone can help me?

n_K Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Check in the /boot folder or partition for your install and you should see the grub files, there will be a grub.cfg (or something similar) file, all you need to do is move the entries in there that relate to your new install to your drive's grub partition (which I'm guessing is sda1) and append it to the main grub list file, then when you restart you should see the option to boot your new install.

simonlang Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 i did check so many things and it still not working. as kubuntu works when installed on the same partition and grub detects everything i think its something wrong with antergos installer script itself.

simplezz Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 You could try chrooting into your installation from a live cd/usb and doing a grub-install /dev/sda from the chroot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplezz Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 done that. no luck. What error do you get on boot up? Usually Grub will give you an error code. It's possible the problem is in your grub config rather than the mbr. Perhaps it's worth checking out /etc/default/grub and generating a new one from inside the chroot: $ sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonlang Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 problem has solved itself with the new usb pendrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
