Run into a problem trying to install:
/in sda11, /home in sda12, swap in sdb9.
In this pic one can see I've selected, /, and swap.https://cdn.scrot.moe/images/2019/10/29/partitions_web.th.jpg
But when offered to add additional partitions, it doesn't list sda12 for /home:

Thoughts? TIA

Interesting, do you think it is this same issue

Thanks for the reply. I wondered about bringing it up here, but I just didn't want to join YAF (yet another forum)
As I read billd's post, his /home partition "shows up", he's just forced to choose a file system and format the partition before mounting it. In my case when the option to choose another partition is offered, no partitions greater than nine (sda9) are listed. Maybe it doesn't list partitions with more than a single digit. (sda12) Just a wild guess...
Thanks again.

I'm just wondering for what purpose a Linuxer creates so many swap partitions ?
You can only use one swap partition a time...

^ Often a distro will insist on formatting a shared swap partition, giving it a new UUID. Existing distros can't find the swap listed in fstab. And they can't find the swap for hibernation. Got tired of cleaning up after such distros. Just easier to give each distro it's own space to do it's thing. And even then, some distros insist on taking every swap partition for it's own and during the install one needs to watch this closely to take back the extra swap partitions. And we're not done yet. Some distros that glom onto every swap partition without asking, erase the partition labels when they do it. Debian being the worst, it will assume every swap partition it can find and delete the partition label without asking.
archlabs-installer tells me that I'm not "Not Connected" even though I know my wired connection is good. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong when the screen comes up that lists wired and wi-fi -- there's an asterisk next to "Wired connection 1" and if I press "Enter" the asterisk goes away and the wired connection appears to be deactivated. If instead I tab down to "Quit" and press "Enter" I get "This installer requires an active internet connection. Exiting..."
This is like the 2nd step of archlabs-installer and I can't get past it! Is the installer simply not detecting my wired connection?

MALsPa, that is weird man. Let me talk with Nate about it. Will report back.
In the meantime does your machine have wireless? If so can you try that please.

Aw, I don't use wi-fi at home -- ethernet only. But I can see my neighbors' wi-fi connections listed by the installer. Thanks for replying -- I've done lots and lots of Linux installations but this screen is making me feel like an idiot. I think I'm missing something simple. If I get out of the live session and boot the same computer into the installed system (Debian), ethernet connection's working fine.

It is a very strange issue. What happens when you run the following:
curl -sIN --connect-timeout 5 'https://www.archlinux.org/'

Nothing, goes back to the command prompt. After a count of 5.

What's your connecition like? Is it decent?
You might have to log on to the AL forum so we get this working easier with Nate.

Yeah, I haven't been having any issues with my connection, only when I run archlabs-installer. Maybe I'll sign up at the AL forums, not sure.

This is the first time I have heard of this issue. Really sorry about this.

Second attempt at installing ArchLabs on a thinkpad x250.
First attempt:
The installer stalled at partition creation. Might've been my fault, there was some confusion with disk encryption & an Intel Rapid Start partition.
Second attempt:
Everything installed, after reboot I'm greeted by a root prompt (automatic login).
Since it's automatic login, I can't even log out.
Haven't investigated yet.

Did you choose the xinit option for logging in or a Display Manager?

Neither, afaIr... I since tried to install lightdm, but that just made the boot hang. I guess I should reinstall.

Friends.
I have recently kicked off a subreddit for ArchLabs. Would be cool to see those of you who use Reddit pop in for a visit.

BTW, this succeeded subsequently. It has a few quirks though, e.g.: starting videos with mpv from the file manager uses 100%CPU - but not if I start them from a terminal.
I still have it on my laptop, but since moved to a true Arch Linux install on a different partition.
Nice themes.

Hmm interesting.

I shall allow this.

Happy Star Wars Day friends. On this momentous day of Star Wars remembrance there came a distribution release. Not just any release mind you, but an ArchLabs Release.
Many hours of sweat, tears, swearing, broken hard drives, failed laptops and countless pints of beer but out of this rose a phoenix. Liken it to Kylo Ren's return to the light side if you will.
Anyway enough rabbiting on from me, enjoy.

It's been a while, anything new on the ArchLabs Linux front?
