Hey, I got a problem when Iβm installing Garuda Xfce, first time trying to install it and i tried multiple fixes, but none helped me. I am in full UEFI in BIOS, also my fast boot is turned off, no secure boot option available.
Here is the error I get:
The bootloader could not be installed. The installation command
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=Garuda --forcereturned error code 1.
Also sorry for my bad english grammar.
Thanks for help.

I donβt see anything strange honestly.
Maybe you could try to reinstall the GRUB from the Garuda boot repair utility in the live ISO.
I usually prefer this manual tutorial to have my hands directly on it.
Another thing you could try with the manual procedure if you get the error is this different grub install command
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=Garuda --no-nvram
I will give it a try and will announce you about that. Thanks.
When trying to insert this command:
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=Garuda --no-nvram
I get this error:
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
grub-install: error: failed to make directory: '/boot/grub'.
Tried it with sudo and i got this other error:
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
grub-install: error: failed to get canonical path of `/boot/efi'.
I just tried the other method, I donβt really know if it worked but I will give it a restart and tell you about it.
Indeed it did boot, but it doesnβt work properly.
As normal when I first time boot into i get the Garuda Setup Assistant which leads into terminal for an update which does not work for me. I get this big error about the keyring and pacman thing.

I donβt understand a thing as I used Ubuntu for a little time.
Also sorry for giving u headackes trying to help me.
Nevermind I have probably solved the problem with the keyrings, I was atleast able to install Steam, but I still need some programs like Sublime Text 3 and a C++ Compiler as I need that for my pairs in college. Thanks for helping me with solutions, it was a little hard for people like me who doesnβt understand a thing in arch.
doesnβt your linux system already have a c++ compiler
