The bootloader could not be installed

[gmankab]

getting this error:

The bootloader could not be installed. The installation command <pre>grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=Arch_Linux --force</pre> returned error code 1.

I tried

• partitioning

  • automatic
  • manual, setting 1GB size of efi partition

• ISO

  • plasma pure
  • plasma flagship

• writing iso on flash from windows using

  • rufus
  • balena etcher

• writing iso on 2 different flash drives

  • 8 GB
  • 32 GB

• installing arch on 2 different ssd

  • 64 GB sata SPCC
  • 128 GB m2 NVMe Netac connected to pci-e

lsblk output after getting error:

additional info

• i am using UEFI
• i am getting similar error with ubuntu and fedora offline installers
• running Boot-Rapair tool on ubuntu after getting this error fixes bootloader, and then all ok on ubuntu
• windows installs without any errors
• but i want to use arch
• archintall works without any errors, but installing using it is very slow, so i need an offline installer
