[ghost]

Wen runing blackarch-install all goes well untill it is starting to install the base system then it gets stuck in a infinity loop that says
Chroot: failed to run command passwd : No such file or directory

@kylian001 thanks for reporting. Can you please follow the instructions listed here and tell me if this works now?

[ghost]

well i dont even set the root passwd yet it automaticly goes forward and hits that error. any work around?

[+] setting up root account

cp: cannot create directory `/mnt/root/.` No such file or directory

then the error apears.

edit: I will try your instructions

Seeing that message, I assume that the problem is because there was an error when mounting the filesystems but the installer continued despite it. This problem should be fixed with BlackArch/blackarch-installer@8589e72 and BlackArch/blackarch-installer@fd7f043.

I have updated the blackarch-installer package and should be in the repos soon. I will levae this issue open until I receive confirmation from you.

I have used the git version and that seem to work. i dont use the repo version because i have to do pacman -Syu before it and that takes ages because of the thousonds of errors.

No problem, I assume this issue is fixed, if you get it again, let me know to re-open.

Thank you for reporting.

Using the lasted iso installing in Virtualbox on a Mac I still get this error loop.

Can anyone advise a work around ?

[ikstream]

Have you tried updating the installer before using it?
Did you get the iso from blackarch.org?
Which version is it (Datestring, netinstall/full)?

If it doesn't help, you could also try the calamaris installer on the slim iso.

Which kind of Mac is it? New ones with M1 (ARM) chips?

I tried running the installer on Windows 11 too... chroot still failed.
I used the netinstall ISO, the datestring was 2021.09.01.
Architecture is x86-64

Please run pacman -Syy archlinux-keyring blackarch-keyring before running the installer

Please run pacman -Syy archlinux-keyring blackarch-keyring before running the installer

Thanks, this solved the problem for me with blackarch-linux-netinst-2021.09.01-x86_64.

This probably should be added right on the Download / Installation page as trouble shooting / first things first. Update your BlackArch Keyring. Thoughts ? Here -> https://www.blackarch.org/downloads.html ~!>D------- Original Message -------

Created a GitHub account just to say thanks and that this worked. Please run pacman -Syy archlinux-keyring blackarch-keyring before running the installer. Arc x86_64

Hey all,
If you cannot run pacman -Syy archlinux-keyring blackarch-keyring because you don't have your network configured. Run the blackarch-install installer up until the network is configured then CTRL+C to interrupt the installer, then run the pacman command.
Install worked like a charm after that.
