Rocky Linux: Full Installation Walkthrough

[@kumaran88thiru]

I Got job on Linux administrator role only watching your tutorial Thank you so much

[@jesse7631]

7:15 - That is odd ; of course, the Rocky Linux 9 ISO I downloaded has more installation options. There are two server installation options: Server, and Server with GUI. But there is also Workstation.

[@abubakursait4193]

I really like the way you're explaining it in a real Hardware set. That would help me with my project. Many thanks.

[@nsxtogo6044]

Really Informative especially about the Gnome tricky problem where one thinks he has done something wrong. Thanks

[@CharkG73]

I'm getting into Linux because I got a free computer and didn't want to deal with windows anymore. The way you explain things in laymen's terms caused me to subscribe lol. I am going to enjoy learning terminal commands through your channel. I want to use Linux to set up a video editing machine and the program I want to use requires rocky Linux

[@crylater8200]

sooooo clutch, helped me with my GUI troubleshooting

[@桜のような恋でした]

wait😳13:14, is that ture? can u run `systemctl set-default graphical` firstly, and then reboot, maybe gnome has been installed already.

[@camf33]

Moving from CentOS to RL, and been at it for 2 days already trying to get a dual boot W10 and RL, both on different physical drives, RL completes the installation but not boot on grub, straight to windows, have changed every boot combination possible. I’ll eventually get it.

[@joujmajmac8243]

Can you expose further details about rocky's community size, review it and go thorough the os

[@saifvasta9787]

Thanks as I was Installing v9.1 on Assembled System as it helped me alot ❤️

[@quintalcent]

Hi Jay . Hope that you’ll soon make a video on the upcoming new version of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

[@Tallmnn]

The best video of linux ever.

[@carlosangelpatriciomartine7346]

Thank you very much for this detail explanation!

[@HutS-e5c]

I see that you did soundproofing for the wall. Can you make a video about that please?

[@userxbw]

so one should still be able to set it up as a multi boot on a system as you can install it on a partition and not the enter drive????

[@rowebil00]

Why is the music volume so loud

[@michaelyoung3553]

Regarding the GUI not being installed, it looks like you installed using the 'Minimal' ISO. If you were to use the DVD ISO, this would not be an issue. I agree that this is misleading when using the minimal ISO. This is a known issue with the installer, and it is coming from upstream from what I gather.

[@Atticus118]

I actually got kind of curious about this one so i always watch youtube videos of people using different versions.

[@kawker]

Gunna have to drop the music J, it to distracting

[@marianoloo]

Trying to install rocky linux 8 to am old MacBook Pro 2012. But RL8 doesn’t boot and has grub error. Googled the problem and solutions don’t work. Has anyone had the same problem and how it solved it.

[@zamSEG]

love the sudo t-shirt.

[@pranavshewale4729]

after installtion how to take ssh of the machine

[@5argetech56]

Rocky : Feelin' strong now, won't be long now Feelin' strong now

[@businessgoose8605]

It just starts install, then goes to a black screen and does nothing. Guessing gpu?

[@jeannetopleaf2066]

Hey Jay, what happens when there's no ON/OFF switch to connect to your network what are going to do. On my end it keeps showing that no network device available. Pls help me

[@HutS-e5c]

How was you able to capture the screen since you were using a real hardware not a virtual machine. I mean OBS was not installed yet at the time of capturing the screen.

[@juniorizcortes6370]

I tried Rocky Linux 9 to install but unfortunately, I encountered no audio. I don't have this issue with Ubuntu and Fedora. Any fix for this issue? Thank you.

[@songokussj4cz]

We just started (experimentally) using RockyLinux with our workstations in a company. But man, Nvidia Quadro M4000 is NOT an ideal graphic card. The same for Quadro P4000. Do you have any tips on drivers? I had to disable GPU hardware acceleration on Teams and Chrome. It's behaving kind-of-ok with 510.60.02 but we still have problem with our graphical applications (Ansa). Do you have any tips for this?

[@ArnTodd1337]

Have same GPU, thanks for info.

[@kalyankumar218]

Nvidia graphic card always gives you the trouble with most of linux Distros. Linus Torvalds pointed out that nvidia is one of the single largest hardware company that it didn't give proper support to linux community and he made fu*k you nvidia comments out of frustration in a discussion. Fortunately Nvidia made GPU kernel modules open source and these issues with nvidia graphic card will be resolved. But It will take time to make it out of the box usage. Until then you will face issues here and there. You need to go through manuals and you have to take community support until then.

[@RalMal-j3d]

Thanks you for this video. I tried to install rocky linux on my old MacBook Pro mid 2012 (no more updates from apple). It always gives me an error message : "mantel boot and hfsplus tool missing", that error prevent the installation.

[@syedkhurramnadeem309]

As you say in almost every video that you install diff distro on bare metal so how you record the video 😊

[@桜のような恋でした]

or u can run `systemctl isolate graphical` to get in graphical gnome desktop immediately🤔

[@JayantBB78]

I couln't manage to make OBS studio on Rocky Linux workstation. Please will you help?

[@EndlessGraphics]

Jay, I got stuck at the connection step... I plugged in a LAN cable and rebooted but no connection. Am I missing a step?? (And yeah, music down about 8db would be good.)

[@EndlessGraphics]

UPDATE: I found a command to make the connection, ok. Then followed all steps to download and install the gnome gui, ok. BUT, it still boots into command mode, no gui interface! Huh??? Any help appreciated.

[@sangampachauri3950]

Invalid image Failed to read header: Unsupported Failed to load image: Unsupported start_image() returned Unsupported When I try to dual boot rocky linux along with window 10 it will through this error…i am new to Rocky Linux…someone please guide me how to resolve this. previously i installed ubuntu, debian this problem never occured.

[@CGA111]

I really appreciate your videos, but please turn down (or preferably turn off) the background music.

[@mdanish18439]

i just uninstalled RL the reason was that the RL 8.5 is not stable when it comes to Virtualization, you will face kernel module and libvirt libs related issues. Alma has no issue with virtualization so i would recommend Alma over RL.

[@robertopontone]

This wants to be a constructive comment: I find the background music quite distracting, volume is too loud and when it increases between phrases becomes even more annoying (it sounds broadcast radio of the 80s)

[@cientifiko]

Hi Jay. Could you explain how to create our own Linux version?

[@livefree7153]

Checkout Eric Dubois/Arcolinux in KZbin. He has plenty of info on how to do it.

[@hoangviet1196]

Tks for tụt 😘

[@SaravanaKumar-nb6ct]

very very useful

[@gudmundurThor96Nr2]

You look healthy LLT

[@hakankocak9472]

Yes, we want the gui...

[@williamp6800]

The background music when you’re talking is annoying. Please get rid of it.

[@MiningForPies]

Can you explain to your commentators the difference between to and too, it’s far more annoying that loud background music 🤔

[@jonpinkley2844]

that loud 🤔 in both cases just one character wrong.

[@Traumatree]

Oracle Linux is also binary compatible with RHEL. And it's free! Edit: It is strange that Rocky Linux removed all the possible setup at the installation that CentOS had. Why are they re-inventing the wheel again when they had it done completely and working is beyond me and is a reason why I will doubt Rocky Linux for the next few years as it is not a copy cat of CentOS as it should have been out of the gate. It is something completely new that will require a lot of testing before putting thing on a server for production use as it was possible with CentOS. Again, Oracle Linux is much more "production ready" and free for whatever usage you want to do.

[@folksurvival]

Oracle are a scummy company though.

[@Mythologos]

Background music is too loud, extremely grating, very distracting and completely unnecessary. I turned the video off after 2 minutes.

[@markvincent6275]

the background music is unnecessary and distracting

[@ihsansaleem6228]

What background music has to do with Linux videos. Please stop using it in your future videos it's a humble request.

[@JamesMowery]

Please remove the background music. It's very distracting, and if you want to watch videos at 1.5 or 2x speed (like I do), it makes the content almost unwatchable. The background music really has to go.

[@hvfd5956]

And the answer is: Warning: Unsupported maximum keycode 569, clipping. X11 cannot support keycodes above 255. Which is to say, they are not supporting semi-modern Dell Keyboards. This time it did not gripe about an invalid EDID from the monitor, but MESA is still unable to load a shared object - /usr/lib64/dri/radeon_dri.so And Why, oh Why did someone decide it would be a good idea to have D-BUS start ModemManager, even if no Modem is detected? Since I selected Server with GUI from the beginning, my results were different. I am also installing on a real HP DL380 Gen5 server. After all the selections, it goes through the install. Important: !! when doing a re-install, you must select reformat on all partitions or it will not let you save any other changes you have made. So on to the install. Walk away for a bit. After the install, after the first boot, it makes me stop and accept the license, a step I think he skipped. On completion of this, it drops to a screen with the Rocky logo and a mouse pointer, that will never move. I have tried a couple of different mice. I am kind of stuck. Should I give it the 3 finger salute? Is there something else I should type to get to a user selection screen? Should I reboot again? In the interest of time, I am going to go back and try again doing it the way Jay did and that did not work. I am using the latest Rocky 8.6 and the shown GNOME option is no longer there on any install option. I still end up stuck. The system is not unresponsive as the various lock keys will light the respective lights on the keyboard, something they taught me at Dell won't happen if the CPU is hung. Odd that it installs, reboots and loads, then the screen hangs and it won't let me go any further.
