Interesting arch issue

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi,

Sorry, my bad. I forgot to add that to the email. As I stated, I am installing in "VMware Workstation 16 Player" for windows see system specs below.

Device name	LAPTOP-57VCMCF1
Processor	Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10210U CPU @ 1.60GHz   2.11 GHz
Installed RAM	16,0 GB (15,8 GB usable)
Device ID	E533DBAD-50FA-48FF-A9AC-4B1B9BBC462D
Product ID	00342-41428-46767-AAOEM
System type	64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Pen and touch	No pen or touch input is available for this display

I am thinking about making this an Arch machine and running Windows in Qemu for work.

Warm regards,

Brandt

Howdy,

maybe this is better placed on an ArchLinux list than here :).

witouth know your system, i have an guess.
if you exactly type what you send per mail then you missed some parameter (-o to specify the output file) in  grub-mkconfig $ grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

just an guess

cheers chrys
