Since the introduction of Apple’s M1 hardware, the Linux community efforts to run Linux on it have been in full swing. We also wondered how EndeavourOS would run on them. Although this tutorial isn’t for running EndeavourOS native on M1 hardware but on Parallel desktops, we still are delighted to share this tutorial with you. Just see it as a first step of running our project on M1.
Community member Specialworld83 made a tutorial accompanied by a video, thank you Specialworld83 for putting so much effort into this.
How to get EndeavourOS running in Parallel desktop on M1 hardware
The step by step guide
Format partition
mkfs.fat /dev/sdb1
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb2
Mount partition
mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt
Download archlinux arm
cd /mnt
wget http://os.archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-aarch64-latest.tar.gz 1
bsdtar -xpf ArchLinuxARM-aarch64-latest.tar.gz
rm -rf ArchLinuxARM-aarch64-latest.tar.gz
Get into chroot
mount --bind /mnt /mnt && cd /mnt && rm /mnt/etc/resolv.conf && cp /etc/resolv.conf etc && mount -t proc /proc proc && mount --make-rslave --rbind /sys sys && mount --make-rslave --rbind /dev dev && mount --make-rslave --rbind /run run
chroot /mnt /bin/bash
prepare multiple download
nano /etc/pacman.conf
Search parallel and remove flag
ParallelDownloads = 5
Init pacman keyring
pacman-key --init
pacman-key --populate archlinuxarm
Commands for install
pacman -Syu base linux linux-firmware vim arch-install-scripts efibootmgr networkmanager network-manager-applet dialog os-prober mtools dosfstools base-devel linux-headers
prepare boot
ls /boot
cp -rv /boot/* /tmp/
mount /dev/sdb1 /boot ## mount boot efi partition
cp -rv /tmp/* /boot/
config system
dbus-uuidgen > /etc/machine-id ## Fix for missing machine-id
genfstab / >> /etc/fstab ## Check your fstab after issuing this command to make sure there aren’t other partitions
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Rome /etc/localtime ## This is if you’re located in Europe with Rome’s timezone
hwclock --systohc
nano /etc/locale.gen ## Select your locales
locale-gen
echo “LANG=it_IT.UTF-8” >> /etc/locale.conf ##Assuming you want this locale
echo “endeavouros” >> /etc/hostname
nano /etc/hosts ## Here we use vim to modify the hosts file
ADD MANUAL IP
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
Install bootloader
bootctl --path=/boot install ## Here we begin setting up systemd-boot
Enable NetworkManager
systemctl enable NetworkManager
Configs
nano /boot/loader/loader.conf
timeout 10
#console-mode keep
default arch-*
Entries
nano /boot/loader/entries/entries.arch.conf
title EndeavourOS
linux /Image
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
options root=/dev/sdb2 rw
Download script in /opt
cd /opt
For endeavourOS
git clone https://github.com/endeavouros-arm/install-script.git 1
Exit ssh
Create system into parallel
System Debian
halt system
Create VM
Start EndeavourOS
cd /opt/install-script
chmod 777 endeavour-ARM-install-V2.X.sh
