Hi,
I’m not used to dual-boot.
I installed Windows 11 so as to be able to play some games and wanted to give a try to this gaming oriented Archlinux distro.
Ran the installer and got this message at the end:
Le chargeur de démarrage n’a pas pu être installé. La commande d’installation
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=Garuda --forcea renvoyé le code d’erreur 1.
[root@garuda-dr460nized-gaming garuda]# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloade
r-id=Garuda --force
Installation pour la plate-forme x86_64-efi.
grub-install : erreur : impossible d'obtenir le chemin canonique de « /boot/efi ».
