While trying to boot it says:
A start job is running for Wait Until Kernel Time Synchronized
and if doesn’t boots. So far I have waited 40 minutes and have waited several times, I have changed my preferred bootable stick which is USB 2.0 to USB 3.0 or something. I have also tried balenaEtcher, Rufus and Ventoy also kept my pc turned off and disconnected from power because an old reddit comment said so but it didn’t work
I’d say you have something wrong with your GUI environment. See SDDM failing?
I’d also say no one is likely to be able to help you without more details, like the boot log/journalctl output, maybe inxi output if it can boot to a CLI, unless someone very familiar with the ISO pipes up.
How can I retrieve further details like logs?
Well, the boot kernel command line could be edited into single user mode.
Once there, you can use pastebin or other such tool (I’m not really familiar with those) to post output of commands to a remote service.
Then you can compose post links here.
If you’d like, you can try to get single user mode active just to verify you can get a valid shell and maybe network access, but probably should wait for others more familiar with this troubleshooting to go forward.
I don’t think rescue mode will try to start the graphical environment.
You should try to enable the debug shell and press ctrl+alt+f9 after it loaded everything it can. Reset lost root password - ArchWiki
Then cachyos-bugreport.sh or journalctl -b0 | paste-cachyos and copy the link.
I am not geek at Linux terms and I asked ChatGPT on how to enter debug shell it asked me to set some different parameters yet it still didn’t boot (it asked me to put … debug after first line)
It’s in the link I have pasted… You have to put systemd.debug_shell at the end of the linux line.
No luck, when adding systemd.debug_shell to the end of first linux line (linux/arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz-linux-cachyossystemd.debug_shell) throws entirely new error (attaching below)
And when adding a space between cachyos and your line (linux/arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz-linux-cachyos systemd.debug_shell) throws same error which I am facing while booting normally
I want to confirm that I haven’t installed CachyOS yet. For the installation purposes I am only running live installation medium created with balenaEtcher but I am unable to install due to A start job is running for Wait Until Kernel Time Synchronised (live countdown / no limit) error.
Okay I ran into a new problem now I assumed it required an internet connection while it boots so I usb tethered with an different mobile now after SDDM error it also says Failed to start Initializes Pacman keyring and the underscore icon is just flashing
Sorry but it’s confusing, what are you actually doing now. Let’s stick to one problem. Did you manage to start the debug shell boot?
Sorry but it’s confusing, what are you actually doing now.
I am just trying to install CachyOS, tried to boot with internet connections and faced different problems
Did you manage to start the debug shell boot?
I don’t know what you mean by that but I have tried to enter and I somewhat faced same problems
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters
Read this article, it describes how to boot with kernel parameters for every bootloader. I just don’t know which one is being used in the installer, I think it’s GRUB, not sure.
It’s GRUB yes and I don’t think I may be able to understand a lot of things by reading the article though I did use linux/arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz-linux-cachyos systemd.debug_shell and as I mentioned above it did nothing and gave same Kernel unable to sync error
It will not fix your issue it is just supposed to give you a debug shell, so you can get some logs. Did you press Ctrl+alt+f9 after you get to the error?
