I think the issue is due to the fact that ArchTitus only supported EFI systems (in the screenshot you used VirtualBox, which only supports EFI on specialized operating systems). I'll see if I can add support for Legacy BIOS systems.

Whoops - my commit closed this. I'll leave it open until my fix is confirmed to work.

That's odd my host is a efi system running windows 11

VirtualBox only emulates a BIOS system unless you specify in the VM's settings

(sorry about the unreadable system text - it's just Pop!_OS being strange.)

I would recommend staying away from VirtualBox when using a VM that uses EFI firmware.

Try using VMware Player instead.

Just try it again in VBox (with default settings). I think I've fixed it

Sorry for the late response but I think that's a great idea but before you put it in the main branch put it in a beta branch for me to test the changes in my environment before pull requesting into the main branch also I didn't get a email notification at all I just remembered the issue so I went back to the repo to see if we had gotten to a fix

@techguy16

It ruins the ArchTitus feel though, but it's worth it.

But then when they boot up into the installed Arch Linux they find out the install hasn't completed and they sit there for half an hour waiting for KDE to install while going through a bottle of Coke (or their favourite beverage).

Moving away from partially silly comments, I've made a beta branch which I'll post a message here when it's ready to try (I probably could test it myself, but 8GB of RAM on my host machine won't go far unless the VM runs with 2GB of RAM because I'm so memory-consious - hoping to upgrade my memory to 16GB soon)

To solve that issue before the restart print to the terminal "Install will continue after a reboot" or something similar

Also I might try to figure out VirtualBox drivers for them to auto install themselves

@techguy16
Copy link
Owner

In OpenArchTitus they automatically install.

@that1polish

I looked at the code VirtualBox drivers do not install if I have to take a deeper look I will do so

@that1polish

Any updates on the beta build to test

@techguy16
Copy link
Owner

Try the 'beta' branch. I'm still working on post-install (I've been sick) but the base should install for now.

As I've tried everything I can think of, I believe it's an issue with pacstrap or grub-install, not ArchTitus and OpenArchTitus, as they install GRUB and the kernel. For now this project is going into a wontfix state, as if these have an issue, this script won't work.

@that1polish
Copy link
Contributor Author

I think if i get drivers first before the script it might work i will try it now

@that1polish

i just realized arch comes with virtualbox-guest-utils-nox and that package does not support X so that might be the issue if there is a way to find the graphics driver and its name in lspci i will update the code to fix that and it might even add vmware support too

@that1polish

i think i might of done it in #7

@techguy16

If it doesn't show up in GRUB, its to do with the kernel. I did merge your PR anyways.

What happens if you use ArchTitus? Does it work properly?

Gosh I haven't touched this project in a while but ArchTitus is now being maintained an d I will try that on Friday and then this to see if there are any issues

@techguy16

It is good to see ArchTitus being maintained again, but the problem with that is it has only 2 options that the user can choose from.
