try the fallback initramfs when booting (advanced options for blendOS/Arch Linux > fallback initramfs)
i just started
systemctl start gdm.service
now wifi not working
i want to use this os but too much issuescheck NetworkManager and
wpa_supplicant are running
you're the first to report something like this :)
drivers for your card should be in the kernel and blendOS includes the Broadcom drivers as well
you can check if it's listed in lspci -k as welldid you happen to try and install on a lvm? I did and had this issue and had to drop to root tty to install lvm2 in system.yaml
i installed it on full system
?
so is it an lvm or not
Logical Volume Group is what LVM is if your not sure what lvm means
idfk that
i just use blend os because it can install everything
also why the f*** pacman is not working
also how to uninstall pre installed app like firefox
you have to add packages to /system.yaml and run akshara update. Blend is alot like NixOS in that regard.. to remove firefox you can either swap from gnome-default to gnome in your system.yaml or add a command section to your system.yaml and remove it with pacman
then run sudo akshara update
@Tohur
i am getting unable to init transaction
you can't run pacman normally as the system is read only
that is stupid
how to fix it
i want to own everything if this doesn't it is all like windows
this is an Immutable/Atomic distro.. You do own everything but the lingo is different. its like NixOS.. all packages you install to your system goes into /system.yaml and you run sudo akshara update which is alot like NixOS rebuild command and that installs all the packages you want.. the website has all the examples and info
so how to remove firefox pacman not working
open /system.yaml and add
to the bottom and then in terminal run sudo akshara update
give full location of that
its at root/system.yaml
@Tohur, you've gained the level
2root of your drive
can't i add pacman -R
to remove anything i want
nope the system is read only as its meant to be immutable/atomic other then when you rebuild your system from the system.yaml
what if i delete system.yaml
then you have to remake it can't install software other then the system.yaml or flatpak
did you read the website? all the info is on BlendOS's website
with examples
give link
@Aaron 25, you've gained the level
1Introduction to blendOS - blendOS
Post-install guide for new users, advanced users, and Arch Linux users.
https://blendos.co/reference/nerdy-stuff/atomicity/ would be better

Technical details for atomicity and updates
ah will bookmark but guess they got mad and left. think they just installed blendOS without really looking into what it was
yeah :(
that and they had this issue
yea sounded like the issue I had putting my /home on a lvm but guess it wasn't
I'm making updates to that intro document
ah yea not sure if its confusing or not for newish people but took me about five mins of reading to get the gist of it. IMO system.yaml works alot like the configuration.nix in NixOS not sure if they got that reference or not when I was trying to explain that everything other then flatpaks go there
just gonna add that it's immutable
updated immutability page to explain what that means
ah
yea its still a newish concept gaining traction so there are people out there that aint grasping it yet
