Installation ISO failing.

So. I've tried all I can before register and posting here.

I have 3 Arch Linux ISO (April, May and June 2025).

April ISO installs no problem, but the other two, fail to install with the error in the link below

https://imgur.com/a/J6qnump

This is installing Arch Linux with KDE-Plasma.
Screenshot specifically is from a VM, but on main device tried with proprietary video drives, tried different repositories, languages, etc.

Am I missing something or is this a legit error?

Re: Installation ISO failing.

xf86-video-vmware has been removed, https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … ote_275921
Idk whether you can tell archinstall to not add that or had to explicitly tell it to add that, but just don't install that package.

but on main device tried with proprietary video drives, tried different repositories, languages, etc.

Which would have caused a different error?

Re: Installation ISO failing.

On main device, when using the nVidia proprietary driver, the amd gpu, ati, nouveau, intel, etc don't get listed.

I've tried to find what does the xf86-video-vmware file does, but between the job and house chores, I've been unable to do a more extensive research.

Any way. Is this a "me" error or does this happens to someone else? I mean, is this a script bug that the AL team needs to fix?

Idk what this is supposed to mean

xf86-video-vmware was the X11 driver for vmware but is no longer required and doesn't work since very recent (see the bug)
If archinstall unconditionally adds that, archinstall will need to fix that (but will only apply on the next iso release?)
If you selected that driver, just don't do that.

You're not gonna run into any of this following https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide but looks like https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VMware … as_a_guest needs to be fixed.
