Probably fully depends on the quality of AIF. The current method is very KISS and easy.

ArchDL -- Download Latest Arch Linux ISO Image from Mirror

Hey guys, here is my ArchISO script. To download latest version of iso image from a mirror. I will add more countries/mirros ones I have time. Right now there is only "United States" mirrors. Enjoy.
EDIT: Alright scrip now know as "ArchDL", and you can find it at
https://github.com/GoTux/Bash/blob/master/archdl.sh

Really? This script is to download the iso, right? so, maybe I'm wrong, but I think downloading the iso and install it to an usb has nothing to do.
Or are you going to create another script to do that?
Anyway, about the downloading script.
What if it parsed the download page, to get all links listed there? With something like:
curl -s 'https://www.archlinux.org/download/' |sed -n '/id="download-mirrors"/,/\/div/ {/href/ s/.*href="$[^"]*$.*/\1/p; /h5/ s/.*<h5.*> $[^<]*$.*/\1/p}'
You could get the list of links.
Also, check this: http://grulos.blogspot.mx/2007/10/find- … irror.html
Is an script to find the fastest mirror from a list of urls.
To be really useful the script, it would be better if it autoselected the fastest mirror for you, instead of waiting for you to tell it which mirror to use.
So, what you think?

Fdisk in arch linux iso

Hey guys, I've used fdisk on my hdd to create logical partitions. When I used fdisk from arch linux cd about 2 years ago on the same hdd it created logical partitions with 2048 sectors gap before new one. This gap contained extended boot record(same as mbr but for logical partition) and other space for bootloader code. [sda4 | 2048sectors(EBR for sda5 logical) | sda5]. sda4,5 both logical.
But when I try to create it now using new arch linux iso it does allow me to create it with the same gap 2048(as minimum), but if i dont specify at which sector to start the partition, it's default value is different than 2048. For one partition it was 2048+1024, the other of different size had 2048+2048, another had 2048+895 sectors(sector size 512b). I recall in fdisk of 2010 arch linux iso it had first sector set by default at first available(thus leaving only 2048 gap, which is the least possible). [sda4 | 895+2048 | sda5].
So why does it offer leaving more space before the partition? Once I created logical partition with the offered gap of 2048+2048 i could then again create new partition inside that gap, which makes me think any space before 2048 sector gap before logical partition is completely unused and unallocated.

Make bootable arch linux iso of installed system

I have installed Arch Linux in virtual box, with "Awesome" window manager and only required applications with it.
I want to make a bootable iso of this system, which i can carry around with me in pendrive and install in other system.Also, can i make a live usb from it?
Is it possible? If so, please specify the detailed steps. I am a newbie and have been using linux for 2-3 months only. Or, please give the link for the same.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply ewaller.
>Well, not quite. But, this is a VM. I assume you want to treat this as an appliance that you can copy to another host that has VirtualBox on it. All you need to do is copy >the *.vbox file that defines your VM (it is an xml file). It is about 10 to 20 kbytes in size. You also need to copy the file that defines the guests "disk".

In above case, i would only be able to transfer between the virtual machine and that will be restricting.
I did some research and found following thread which is similar to my problem,
http://askubuntu.com/questions/119718/h … d-remaster
but one of the two solution provided here only works on ubuntu(i.e relinux),which was suitable to me and the other one,ie clonezilla to make iso, i haven't tried, but it doesn't do what i want.
Relink does exactly what i want but doesn't work on arch linux.It is a fork of remastersys which is dicontinued and only worked for ubuntu and its related.
I also found this http://null-byte.wonderhowto.com/how-to … o-0131002/
but haven't tried it yet.Also it require to redo all the steps that i have currently done, so i want an alternative.
I also found a simple way, but it is essentially just backuping and restoring and require base install.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=44805
Atlast, i got this http://systeminstaller.sourceforge.net/
but there is no description if it will work with arch linux or not.
I want something like above mentioned and i have no further ideas and searched everywhere, if anyone has any ideas, please suggest something.
Thanks in advance.

[SOLVED]New Arch Linux ISO Installation Help.

Hi All,
I am trying to install Arch Linux using new ISO. For some reason I am unable to log into Arch Forums on Windows and I am writing this on my tablet. I will add more info (proper quote, etc.) as soon as I am able to log in a laptop browser. That being said I am trying to install Arch using new ISO. Here is what I did.
Partition using cfdisk /, /home , /swap and /boot.
Format all these in ext4.
Create folders in mnt - root, home, swap, boot.
mount partitions in mnt folders.
Pacstrap /mnt base base-devel
Error
ERROR: /mnt is not a mount point!
I install in /mnt/root which probably doesnt touch other partitions like home boot and swap.
I follow other steps on installation wiki and reboot takes me back to windows.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

You don't need a root folder. /mnt is the root mount point. Before you mount boot and home:
mount /dev/sdax /mnt
where "x" is the number of your /root partition.
then
mkdir /mnt/boot
mount /dev/sdax /mnt/boot
mkdir /mnt/home
mount /dev/sdax /mnt/home
(replace "x" in all the /dev/sdax with the correct partitions.)
Error
ERROR: /mnt is not a mount point!
you should have stopped here and posted or tried to figure out what you did wrong.
The edited Beginner's Guide is very clear about this. You should read it.

Arch Linux Xen Image

Has anyone tries making a Xen image of Arch (as a guest OS)? I want to do it so I can run arch on a xen cluster I have access to, but i'm not sure where to start O.o

I run Arch on a Linode, not by using their premade image but rather starting from scratch myself.
Linode provide kernels outside the Xen guests, which made the whole thing quite easy.
Here's a rough summary of how I managed it:
1) Install a minimal base Arch system in a virtual machine. I used the FTP iso and Virtualbox.
As Linode provides kernels, I left out the following packages:
kernel26, kernel26-firmware, kernel26-headers, grub and all initcpio and klibc packages.
2) chroot into the new system. Modify fstab to match the Xen disk layout. Configure the network
interfaces and anything essential to boot.
3) Exit the chroot, cd into the directory where it resides and tar the entire filesystem up:
tar -zcpvf filesystem.tar.gz ./
4) Boot the Xen guest with a livecd of some sorts. Linode provide Finnix.
5) Mount the Xen disks and copy the filesystem tar to the Xen machine.
6) Untar the OS:
tar zxpvf filesystem.tar.gz ./
7) Restart your Xen guest into the Arch filesystem and configure away.
I know it's not very detailed, but I did this quite a while back and have just recalled it
all from memory ^u^
Good luck!

Arch Linux iso and img metalinks

I've finally created a script to automatically generate metalinks for the current iso and img downloads using the most recent official mirrorlist
The generated metalinks are currently listed here: http://xyne.archlinux.ca/arch
I might move the links page around on the site but the metalink directory should not change. If any of the site admins would like to include these on the downloads page, send me an email so we can work out the optimal way of doing it (e.g. I could create a custom page that you could scrape and show you how to update the metalinks via the web interface when mirrorlists/downloads change).
For anyone not familiar with metalinks, here's an example of how to use one with aria2c:
aria2c --follow-metalink=mem -j45 -C45 http://xyne.archlinux.ca/metalinks/archlinux-2009.02-ftp-x86_64.iso.metalink
aria2c should be capable of downloading from the metalink and the torrent simultaneously but I gave up trying to get it to work after a couple of minutes.
The Firefox add-on "DownThemAll!" can also handle metalinks.
archlinux-*-all.metalink contains all of the files. Don't use this link unless you either:
a) really need all of the files
b) know how to select files from a metalink
Last edited by Xyne (2009-04-24 22:05:25)

Xyne wrote:@Dieter@be
The post about metalinks on pacman-dev reminded me about this thread. The advantage of the metalinks over torrents, even webseeded torrents, is that you don't need a torrent client to download them. You can use DownThemAll (and maybe other add-ons) to download them directly in Firefox, for example.
exactly, most download apps (FTP clients, non-torrent P2P clients, most download managers, and browsers, with the exception of Opera) don't support torrents directly. and there are many situations where P2P uploading is banned or frowned upon, like corporate/university networks, places with slow uplink, misconfigured hardware, etc...
torrents are awesome, but they're not a perfect fit in every situation. metalinks give you alternates, failover options, P2P-like features - so if there's any way for a download to complete, it will. there's the slightly added complexity & effort of getting em in place, but once that's automated it's usually pretty helpful.
here's a good description of the situation:

It would be good to have cnetworkmanager on Arch Linux bootable images

I think that most of us use NetworkManager. I see it now as standard and most user friendly way to setup and connect to networks . Now I want to install new Archlinux and if there would be cnetworkmanager then I could setup it quicker...

You should file a feature request in the bug tracker and then the relevant people will see it. Requests made only on the forums likely never get seen.

Incorporating both Arch Linux and a package repository onto one DVD.

Dear Arch Linux community,
I would like to tell you a little background information about myself before I start to talk about my actual subject. I know that this part of my message does not belong here, but it is my own ritual to do it like this in my first message in every community. I hope I can make friends with people here and try not to harm this community in any way. Thank you for reading this.
I am a 16-year-old male student from Finland and addicted to GNU/Linux and freeware / open source software. My previous experience with GNU/Linux is fairly large; from thin client Debian GNU/Linux administrator to kernel hacker and software developer. My delight is music, particularly writing and composing my own music tracks which vary from classic chiptunes to acid trance and dance beats. Arch Linux seems to be a great GNU/Linux operating system for me, because I am looking for a GNU/Linux distribution that does not focus on desktop, but rather on simplicity and lightweight solutions. I also do not fear "bleeding edge" software which is a positive point for Arch Linux compared to Debian GNU/Linux. As you can probably notice I have been using Debian GNU/Linux before I considered Arch Linux. However now I am here hoping for a totally new experience from Arch Linux.
Enough with my foreword, I would like to now go back to the actual subject. Usually I use DVD media for GNU/Linux images to have both the installer for the GNU/Linux distribution and the main package repository to make installations faster and to have the possibility for an offline installation. As I see, Arch Linux provides only CD images which are approximately 160MB in size, making me to think about incorporating Arch Linux's "Core" and "Extra" package repositories to fill up the remaining 4GB on the DVD. If the "Core" package repository is already included in the Arch Linux CD image, please forgive my lack of information as this is the first time I have ever entered to the world of Arch Linux.
My question is as follows: Is it possible to incorporate Arch Linux and a package repository onto one DVD while retaining the ability to install Arch Linux from that DVD? If positive, how should I go on to do it?
Thank you in advance!

No niin, tervetuloa arch-mailmaan.
Ok, I better stop at one sentence before someone gets mad at me :roll:.
To answer your question, yes. It is quite possible to put something like that together, heck I think someone suggested we should distribute those some time, but we decided not to (don't quote me, I'm too lazy to read the archives right now) since in most cases pacman will get the job done will job done with less bandwidth waste, and distributing huge snapshots isn't really too conducive to the whole rolling-release thing.
You might want to check out archiso [1], the install scripts [2], and one of my sample archiso configurations [3] that effectively creates an install CD. Now, keep in mind that archiso isn't the *current* way installers are created, but I think it's much more straightforward to work with than what we're using right now. That said, we currently use archboot to create the CDs, so that may be worth taking a look at as well. There is also a really old installer remastering wiki article [4], though not terribly relevant, you could still use a similar technique to pull apart one of our recent install iso's and remaster it with whatever packages you want. Anyhow, if you'd like help with this, I'd be more than happy to give you a hand (I need some more test-cases for archiso...), or if you look at it and go "gee, this is dumb", don't be afraid to send patches. Just get in touch with me through email, jabber, irc, or whatever.
Good luck

I'm curious. Is the filesystem on the USB, ntfs ?
If yes, did you install NTFS-3G ? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NTFS-3G. Happened to me 8 days ago .
EDIT - Sorry for the repost using the same solution as my above post. Didn't see his link. Just surfed through the posts for the word "NTFS-3g" and it wasn't there.

Install 2nd instance of Arch Linux without internet connection

I have successfully install a first instance of Arch Linux using Arch Linux ISO + pacstrap + pacman with internet connection.
I have updated to latest package database list (/var/lib/pacman/sync) and package cache files (/var/cache/pacman/pkg) in first instance of Arch Linux with "pacman -Swyu".
Next, I would like to install 2nd instance of Arch Linux without using internet connection.
I share the "/var/lib/pacman/sync" and "/var/cache/pacman/pkg" via NFS from first Arch Linux instance.
I boot the 2nd instance with Arch Linux ISO and attempt to install without internet connection. I mount the two NFS shares from 1st instance to "/var/cache/pacman/pkg" and "/mnt/var/lib/pacman/sync" respectively. I execute
# pacstrap -i -c /mnt"
to start installation.
I found it is almost impossible with current implementation of pacstrap script. The pacstrap script always attempt to update package database list with -Sy option.
I think some amendments on pacstrap script is needed to install Arch Linux without internet connection.

I made the edit by adding the option -o to do what you want.
I am too lazy for a feature request right now...

Having trouble installing Arch Linux to USB key

Hello,
I have read the wiki article, but it doesn't answer my question. I am having trouble installing Arch to a USB key (8GB Sandisk Cruzer). I installled GRUB correctly, it booted, but the flash drive was write-protected. In the fstab file, I have the defaults and noatime flags in there. I have never experienced an error like this, and I don't know how to fix it. I have tried to reboot into the Arch CD and mounted the USB, but it just stalls and displays no output. Obviously, if I boot into my USB (you can still boot into it), and do "nano /etc/fstab", it says that I cannot write. In case you were wondering, I am using the root user. Thank you for all your help!
EDIT: I have Syslinux, the kernel parameters is RW. If I run mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda1, it tells me something like:
ata3.00: status: {DRDY ERR}
ata3.00: error: {IDNF}
end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 21
Buffer I/o error on device sda1, logical block 0
EXT4-fs error (device sda1): ext4_remount:4665: Abort forced by user
I did NOT hit CTRL+C.

I'm a nub, and I think I'll piggy back of aqua's post. Perhaps we have the same problem
I have an Asus UX31A with Xubuntu (with grub) currently installed. I created the bootable USB as per the Arch Wiki UEFI bootable usb page. I can boot into the main prompt where you can choose "Arch Linux Iso", "shell v1", "shell v2" and "Default prompt."
Choosing the first option (to get to the the command prompt and begin installing) makes the screen flash once, then just hangs black. Before the flash I think I see three text lines in the upper left corner, but they flash so fast I can't read them.
Choosing either of the shell options presents the error:
"Error loading \EFI\shellx64_v1.efi: Unsupported" (replace "v1" with "v2" for the other option)
Any thoughts?

Install Arch Linux with UEFI and GPT

Hi, I purchased a new laptop and I created a partition with Windows 8 (default OS on laptop) and another partition where I want to install Arch Linux.
When I tried to install Arch Linux not boot from CD. After searching in Google I downloaded the latest Arch Linux ISO (2012-12-01) and tried again.
This time CD started without problems but when I used cfdisk showed an error with GPT partition. I went back to search in Google and I read about gdisk and gfdisk and I try it but when I partitioning to install Arch Linux partition show that may cause damage. I searched and searched without success and I wonder if there is a Arch Linux GPT install guide or if someone knows how to install Arch Linux with GPT and a Windows 8 partition in UEFI.
Thanks and regards.

Hi again, finally I got "install" Arch Linux but when I reboot the follow message appears:
"No Booteable Device, Hit any key."
I don't know if I broke Windows Boot Manager, UEFI or both...
I tried to reinstall GRUB but was unsuccessful.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks and regards.
