Edit: Solved, while changing EDID make sure to remove the old module first and reinstall it with the new EDID

I have a faulty DP to HDMI adapter, that unfortunately never seems to parse the EDID data, so while connecting to a TV I used this guide and a 1920x1080.bin file from the internet and it worked, but unfortunately I was unable to use the TV speakers(I guessed the EDID file didn't specify that the device had audio out)

Using a separate pc I extracted my TVs EDID.bin file and repeated the steps but unfortunately, it just doesn't work, its stuck on the old 1920x1080.bin(I can tell because it shows up as 'Linux Foundation 23'') The issue persists even after I delete the old .bin file from /usr/lib/firmware/edid

I am using wayland

Any help is appreciated

I am in the process of installing Void Linux inside a virtual machine on my M1 MacBook. I have followed the guide for chroot installation and I am having trouble getting it to work.

This is what I have done, and please correct me if I am wrong:

1- Created an empty virtual hard drive

2- Booted a live image of Arch Linux aarch64 due to the lack of Void Linux live image.

3- Using cfdisk, I create a gpt partition label and write 2 partitions (500MB /dev/vda1) and (Remaining free space /dev/vda2) with mount points (/boot/efi/) and (/), respectively.

4- Format as vfat and ext4, respectively.

5- Mount them as per the guide and then manually enter chroot.

6- Again, do pretty much everything as listed in the guide.

7- For (/etc/fstab), I do the following

```

Corresponds to /dev/vda1

UUID=1a2b.....uvw /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 2

Corresponds to /dev/vda2

UUID=3c4d.....xyz / ext4 defaults 0 1 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,nosuid,nodev 0 0

``` I am not using swap for sake of simplicity.

8- I install grub-arm64-efi and then issue the command grub-install --target=arm64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id="Void" --no-nvram. Note the --no-nvram because for some reason EFI variables are not available to me in UTM.

9- After the xbps-reconfigure -fa command, I exit and them attempt to unmount using umount -R /mnt only to be told that the device is busy. Using lsof returns nothing so I shutdown, remove the live Arch Linux image, and boot the system again only to be greeted with the UEFI shell.

I am not sure where my issue is and I would appreciate any help, advice, and/or guidance anyone can provide.

Thank you
