Lola: Protected "Arch" [edit=sysop:move=sysop]

Protected "Arch" [edit=sysop:move=sysop]

New page

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide

'''History: Now at Install #3: sound OK, network OK, RAID ok; no nfs automount'''

=Intro=

At the prompt from the live disc:
To change GRUB boot options, press [Tab]. Many users may wish to change the resolution of the framebuffer, append:

vga=792

to the kernel line, followed by <ENTER>, for a better framebuffer.

If you have a non-US keyboard layout you can interactively choose your keymap/console font with the command:

# km

when the live arch is booted up. Then do:

/arch/setup

=Install=

=="3" Disks==

1. Choose '2' to select partition(s)
2. choose dev for tradition's sake :)
3. Choose filesystem type
4. Choose / on your choosen partition
5. Intput label for partition
Hit DONE

Always hit Done when possible. Creating only '''/''' and no other or even swap worked here (with 3 gigs of Ram)

=="4+5" Packages==

select Devel
(I did remove Grub, lilo, if you have other bootloader)
select any other useful: sudo ssh & so on. I took all but obvious Firmware (FW).

=="6" [[Configure]]==

Recommended use of nano; the original, basic v' is a pain.

/etc/hosts
/etc/hosts.allow: ssh and nfs
/etc/rc.conf: modules yes and no, network, daemons
/resolv.conf: openDNS

&& mirrorlist (do a backup!!)

later create/edit this if you have [[RAID]]

/etc/mdadm.conf

''note on nfs:''

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NFS#Daemons_2

=Update and Add stuff=

==Update==

pacman -Syy
pacman -Syu

'''[reboot]'''

Think about: drives, incl net drives; Graphic Env + locales, sound... And their config files!

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#TwinView
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Setting_Keyboard_Layout_With_Hot-Plugging
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide#Step_1:_Configure_sound_with_alsamixer

==RAID and nfs==

Local [[RAID]] howto

archwiki NFS: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nfs

''Side note on samba:

Doesn't work in Konqueror; works manually if:

load fuse module
start smbnetfs daemon

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samba#Adding_network_shares_using_KDE4_GUI

==Sound==

pacman -S alsa-utils mplayer smplayer

aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav

==Numlock==

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Activating_Numlock_on_Bootup

==X==

pacman -S xorg xf86-input-evdev
pacman -S mesa
pacman -S enlightenment epplet-base

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg

start X manually with '''xinit /usr/bin/starte16 -nodaemon'''

''You may think of making an alias in ~/.bashrc for that:'' '''alias e16='xinit /usr/bin/starte16 -nodaemons''''

===Keyboard===

setxkbmap -layout be
setxkbmap -model logiex110

setxkbmap -print -verbose 10

To permanently change your keyboard layout, add the following to, for example, 30-keyboard.conf:

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "be"
EndSection

Note that this is in an InputClass Section and not the InputDevice section for the keyboard.

===Enlightenment DR16===

pacman -S enlightenment epplet-base

you have to retrieve e16 keyedit from sourceforge, tough, it's not in the repos.

==Flash Plugin for Firefox==

pacman -S flashplayer

sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/mozilla
sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/mozilla/extensions

==printer & scanner==

installed cups, hpoj, hplip, sane

note from output of install see Discussion

==running daemons==
At bottom of "/etc/rc.conf":

DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng network portmap rpcbind nfs-common @netfs @crond sshd @gpm avahi-daemon avahi-dnsconfd alsa)

=Installed Softs=

==was there==

wget
xterm
find

==added==

vim
rsync
enlightenment
tightvnc

hplib
cups

firefox
chromium
openoffice
gimp
geany

=works=

scanner
webcam
dual screen with nvidia only
printer

=What doesn't work=
==design==

Some specifics of Arch may please or not; nevertheless, some aspects of it are downright bugs in my book.

* pacman: no summary of Download size
* pacman; no summary of added dependencies
* pacman: no suggested packages before install of package finished
* pacman: no option to pull --suggested too
* pacman: no summary of logs - each note is spitted as it gets installed, impossible to review on-the-fly
* rc.conf: so unusual, you have to edit all the time (for modules, services)

==software==

So far, anything pulled from AUR wasn't working; AUR isn't quite like SlackBuilds I mustt say: buggy scripts, concurrent versions... And just soft that doesn't run. I've never had a SlackBuild to fail on me but for the Version number, tops

google-earth '''edit''' works somewhat if no pop-up window pops... Or dies, crashing badly.
google-talkplugin

'''Now have a look at the [[configure]] repos'''
