Arch Linux "pacman-enhanced Tux" :)

Hey,
I just wanted to gimp a unique 'start'-button for my fbpanel.. so I inkscaped a 'pacman-enhanced' tux (get it? ) that I'm of course sharing with you folks:
Well.. maybe somebody else out there also likes him

Thanks for the nice feedback! Concerning the art svg upload.. Err.. I just tried.. :oops: so where exactly is art.archlinux.org's 'upload' function?
By the way, Inkscape seems to distinguish 'Inkscape SVG' from 'Plain SVG'. I did not compare the xml and am not yet that much into svg as I'd like to be.. Does someone know the difference? Is it that plain is preferable for web and inkscape formatted files are preferable for editing?

  • Arch Linux Pacman Proxy Script

    Since my Arch box has no internet connection (yes, I'm that much of a masochist), I wrote a bash script to act as a proxy of sorts for pacman, at least as regards downloading. It took a while to get it working (intermittent web access and all) but here it finally is, as promised.
    It works well for me, and I only hope that it will help anyone else in the same situation (if there is anyone else in the same situation).
    The script has various options to explain everything you need to know, but here's a quick word of warning: it only works on POSIX-compatible computers (i.e. no Wintendows, usually) and the proxy box needs to have bash, wget, tar, grep and sed installed. I don't see this as being a problem, but if I'm wrong, tell me all about it.

    Since my Arch box has no internet connection (yes, I'm that much of a masochist), I wrote a bash script to act as a proxy of sorts for pacman, at least as regards downloading. It took a while to get it working (intermittent web access and all) but here it finally is, as promised.
    It works well for me, and I only hope that it will help anyone else in the same situation (if there is anyone else in the same situation).
    The script has various options to explain everything you need to know, but here's a quick word of warning: it only works on POSIX-compatible computers (i.e. no Wintendows, usually) and the proxy box needs to have bash, wget, tar, grep and sed installed. I don't see this as being a problem, but if I'm wrong, tell me all about it.

  • Tux, Tux linux, Arch Linux, T-shirt artwork.

    He he sounds really easy till you realize you need 10" by about 11" inch prints with about 600px res resulting in huge files and load times. Anyways I am on a disability and run a small Tux Linux Artwork Swag shop and here is some of the artwork. I am working on a large tux logo with small Arch Linux writing on the side but still in the planning stages.
    Concept proof.
    This is a post about the swag shop on this forum

    The grafitti logo wallpaper is Streetart Arch Linux from kde-look.org the owner said I could use it for t-shirts but you would have to ask him.

    You could send him a pm from there thats how I got in touch with him. He has some real nice artwork

  • Arch Linux Wallpaper 1080p (Rendered with Blender Cycles)

    Title pretty much says it all. I've included the source .blend (Blender) file for those that want to tweek it.
    Wallpaper:

    This is really beautiful! I read you rendered it using blender, is this available for linux also or is it windows/mac only?
    Criticism: Tux stands out too much, doesn't feel like he fits in. I think it would be really cool and better if you worked on his materials,  perhaps making him look like a plushy? You know a little furry.
    Thank you Yes, Blender works very well on Linux, you can get it from the official arch repo ($ sudo pacman -S blender). This image was modeled and rendered entirely on Arch Linux using Blender + Gimp for some touch-ups (I would never make an Arch Linux wallpaper on Windows/Mac, that's sacrilege ).
    Thanks for the criticism as well. Like I mentioned above, I'm working on a couple improvements and different designs already. I'll keep your suggestion in mine while designing them.

  • Slow boot up speed-Arch Linux

    Hi everyone,i am facing two important problems in my Arch Linux
    1)Slow boot-up and Shut-down
    2)Poor battery life
    I am using an Dell Inspiron-N5010 laptop with intel-i3 processor and 3 GB RAM and i have updated my Arch system recently and my kernel version is

    and still its taking more time to get the Display Manager and after entering my login and password its taking more time to get my cinnamon desktop
    I am using Laptop-Mode-Tools ,cpupower(Conservative Governor),Thermald to improve my batterylife but nothing is helping me out its just 45~1 hour in my arch system but its actually 2 to 2.5 hours in my windows 7
    and i was googling for good solutions but nothing is helping me to get out of  the problems and i hope i could fix this issue by means of this forum.

    Ah, anyway identify all the service files for systemd to see if there are some that you don't need. Looks like you already did.
    For the slow boot up and shutdown you could give a closer look at dmesg.
    Check http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/sy … eventually to see how you can save your dmesg for the shutdown part. Then look for entries that have a large gap in time (the numbers in [###] are seconds since bootup).
    Can you maybe also define slow. How many seconds / minutes does it take?
    its taking 23.099s for Kernel+User space and the time gap between Display Manager and Cinnamon desktop is approximately 30 sto 40 s
    here is my dmesg complete output

  • [GUIDE] How to get MapleStory working in Arch Linux

    MapleStory is a free-of-charge, 2D, side-scrolling massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by the South Korean company Wizet. Several versions of the game are available for specific countries or regions, and each is published by various companies such as Wizet and Nexon. Although playing the game is free, character appearances and gameplay enhancements can be purchased from the "Cash Shop" using real money. MapleStory has a combined total of over 50 million subscriber accounts in all of its versions. MapleStory North America (Global), for players mainly in North America and outside of East Asia, Southeast Asia and Europe, has over three million players.
    In the game, players travel the "Maple World", defeating monsters and developing their characters' skills and abilities as is typical in role-playing games. Players can interact with others in many ways, such as through chatting, trading, and playing minigames. Groups of players can band together in parties to hunt monsters and share the rewards. Players can also join a guild to interact more easily with each other.
    I am an avid mapler myself, however, I am also an avid archer! For some time, I have wanted to get MapleStory working on Arch Linux in some way, but nothing seemed to work. As you might have guessed by now, recently, while playing around with VirtualBox, I discovered a method to get MapleStory working on it! Though in this method you won't actually have MapleStory running on Arch Linux, you'll have it running on a VirtualBox Windows virtual machine, that is still pretty good compared to other people's experiences.
    I hope there are at least a few maplers on this forum, and if there aren't, I hope that someone will port this post over to other Linux, or even MapleStory, forums. Anyways, let's begin.
    1. Download and install a version of Virtual Box that is version 3.0+. The reason for this is that, only versions 3.0+ support an experimental DirectX Driver with 3D acceleration that is required for MapleStory to run.
    2. Create a Windows Virtual Machine, add a hard disk to it, and install and update Windows on it(preferably Windows XP, as it uses less resources than other contemporary Windows installations).
    3. Once you have done all you needed and wanted on that Windows installation, restart it, boot it into safe mode by holding F8 at the boot, and wait until the desktop is fully loaded.
    4. After you are at the desktop, go to "Devices" at the top of the menu of the Windows virtual machine, and select "Install Guest Additions...". Wait until Guest Additions finishes installing, and when VirtualBox asks you if you want to mount the disk containing the Guest Additions on the virtual machine, say "Yes".
    5. Run the main executable on the disk that doesn't have amd64 or x86 following its name. Follow the instructions it gives you, and when it asks you what components to install, make sure both of the boxes it shows you are checked.
    6. After the install is completed, the virtual machine will restart. After it restarts, shut it down.
    7. Congratulations! You now have DirectX installed on your VirtualBox virtual machine! Now you need to activate the "3D Acceleration", that enables it.
    8. In the VirtualBox main window, make sure you have your machine with Windows selected. Then, click on "Machine", and then "Settings...", at the top. A new window should pop up. On the left hand side, click on the display panel, and in the new settings section, tick Enable 3D Acceleration. Click "OK", to save the settings.
    9. Start your Windows virtual machine, install MapleStory just as you would on a normal windows computer, and run MapleStory.
    Notes: This way of running MapleStory is slower than by running it normally, on a normal windows computer. Also, try to not interact with your Linux desktop while playing MapleStory, because this can cause HackShield to shut down MapleStory, due to the fact that it believes there is a hacking attempt.

  • [SOLVED]Arch Linux / UEFI / BTRFS using Grub2 & Windows 8 in a 2nd HDD

    PROBLEM:
    ====================================================================================
    Dear fellas
    I just purchased an new HP TouchSmart 17.3" laptop that comes with Windows 8.1 pro (1 tb HDD + small SSD for cache only ) and still have space for one more HDD or SSD.
    I Google a lot and read a lot but many questions emerged since seems that no one has the same scenario (maybe I pick the wrong choices) like me.
    The problem is.. I didn't wish to re-install Windows 8.1 since it came with from factory.. so I purchased a 750 gb hdd and put it into the free slot to install Arch Linux in a different HDD.
    As I am not familiar with UEFI what I did was to reorder the hdds. I just put the Windows HDD as second disk and the new disk (For Arch Linux) as primary and changed into Bios from UEFI to compatibility mode and installed Arch Linux into the primary one.
    I reaaaally need help to add to grub the correct "path" to Windows 8.1 disk that came with UEFI..
    Anyone could please help me?
    Thanks in advance!
    ====================================================================================
    SOLUTION:
    A huge thanks to @TheSaint and other users for their help and assistance!

    http://www.kossboss.com/linux---arch-in … -grub-boot
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=METZCp_JCec#t=146
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 1#p1390741
    Step by Step Summary:
    Use gdisk to create partitions on /dev/sda:
        - 512MB - EF02 type partition (for EFI boot)
        - 690GB - Linux partition for the BTRFS.
    - Create an EF00 (ESP) with 512mb
    - Create a Linux System partition with the rest of space
    Make the FAT 32 system for EFI boot:
    # mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/sda1
    Make the BTRFS partition. If it complains about existing filesystems just add a "-f":
    # mkfs.btrfs -L arch -f /dev/sda2
    We will make out a root subvolume for sda1, this will be a folder called root located at the root of sda2. The way we will design this is that When the system boots we will not see /root, we will be inside root. Inside root you will have all of your etc,sys,proc,whatever folders etc.
    # mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
    # cd /mnt
    # btrfs subvolume create /mnt/root
    This should show you your root
    # btrfs subvolume list -a /mnt
    Something like this: ID 256 gen 5 top level 5 path root
    # cd /
    # umount /dev/sda2
    Now we will mount sda2 root subvolume as /mnt and we will dump the arch system into there with pacman. We will also enable compress to utilize btrfs compress feature.
    # mount -o defaults,compress=lzo,subvol=root /dev/sda2 /mnt
    NOTE: the command "mount" will not show which subvolume is mounted, to see how subvolumes are mounted you need to look inside proc (cat /proc/self/mountinfo):
    # cat /proc/self/mountinfo | egrep sda2
    The line for the mount of sda2 looks like this:
    43 21 0:34 /root /mnt rw,relatime shared:30 - btrfs /dev/sda2 rw,compress=zlib,ssd,space_cache
    We can see that the subvolume /root is mounted to /mnt from the device /dev/sda3
    Notice how with regular mount command its missing:
    # mount | egrep sda2
    /dev/sda3 on /mnt type btrfs (rw,relatime,compress=zlib,ssd,space_cache)
    Pacman will dump stuff into a boot folder, so we better mount our sda1 EFI boot partition to it. Or else all of the boot stuff will go to sda3 instead of sda1:
    # cd /
    # pacstrap -i /mnt base base-devel
    Let us create the directory and mount the EFI partition
    # cd /mnt
    # mkdir -p /mnt/boot/efi
    # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi
    Let us generate the FSTAB:
    # genfstab -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
    Let us chroot into the arch installation:
    # arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash
    Change password:
    # passwd
    Then pick the right one like this and associate it with a link to /etc/localtime
    # ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Pacific /etc/localtime
    Let us generate the initial RAM disk
    # mkinitcpio -p linux
    Let us setup the bootloader (GRUB)
    # pacman -Syu grub efibootmgr
    Let us generate the grub configuration
    # grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
    Let us install grub into the HDD
    # grub-install /dev/sda
    # umount -R /mnt
    # umount /mnt
    # reboot
    From this step you can go straight and forward with the https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_guide

    TheSaint wrote:As UEFI BIOS is a boot loader itself. You should make on each HDD an ESP.
    When you want to start win8 you go to BIOS and chose its entry, so will do for Arch the same.
    For this way I suggest you write to boot the kernel directly from the BIOS. It just take some reading on this topic
    Other option you set on you second ESP the boot loader of your liking and it will try to find win8 partition.
    Thanks for your reply.
    For the second option, may I use the compatibility mode and install the booloader into the first partition along with Arch?
    Or in case the first option is still the better option, could you pleaaaase give me some directions from the scratch? Do you have Google Hangout?
    Thanks in advance.

  • [SOLVED] Arch Linux on Macbook - Can't fix Screen Resolution

    I just followed the instruction on the Arch Linux - Macbook Wiki page, and everything worked perfectly, except the resolution question.  The only thing I added to the file is the 'Modes    "1280x800"' lines.  This is exactly what I've always done with linux, and it has always worked.  So I'm perplexed, and I can't find any solutions that actually work by googling it.  Has anyone else come across this problem, and even more important, does anyone know what is wrong?
    Thanks.

    Ok.  I figured it out.  I found this forum:
    http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=56899
    I found it before, but I had done everything, or so I thought.  At the end, he mentions two things that are important to fix the resolution.  I've repeated them here, and adapted them to what I had before:
    pacman -S xf86-video-intel
    edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and change video card driver from 'vesa' to 'intel'
    I thought I had installed xf86-video-intel already, but apparently I hadn't.  So, I followed those two steps, and now, it looks so much better!  Thanks to anyone who tried to looked for a solution.

  • Progress on Unity under Arch Linux!

    -- You probably don't want to read anything below --
    The story
    So...rather than wasting internet bandwith to download a new Ubuntu ISO to test out the new Unity features, I decided to try to make it work under Arch Linux. It took a whole lot longer than I expected to get it even partially working. So, here's my story:
    Knowing that Unity isn't in the main repositories, I went the AUR's website and looked for a user created Unity package. That didn't go too well. The Unity package hasn't been updated for 6 months. D'oh! I decided to download the existing PKGBUILD and modify it to work with the Unity 4.xx series. After changing the version number, I tried to "makepkg" it, and was greeted with a message about installing Compiz 0.9.x. I thought it would be an easy install. It was quite the opposite. Compiz's install prefix was set to /opt/unity, but FindCompiz cmake build file expected Compiz to be in /usr, so none of the Compiz packages, except for compiz-core would compile. Then, I tried reinstalling compiz-core, but this time, changing the prefix to /usr. The compiled package ended up being only a few kilobytes big. I guess the mouse wheel was invented for a reason. I looked at the PKGBUILD again, only to find that there was a line at the very bottom that ran "rm -rf ${pkgdir}/usr". That explains a lot! I ended up adopting all the compiz*-git packages and fixing them so they would compile and install.
    So, now that Compiz is working (restarted and tested just to make sure I didn't waste my time with something that didn't work), I went on to install the rest of the dependencies listed in the Unity PKGBUILD file. That went relatively well. I was so happy after seeing the progress counter go up after running "makepkg", but at about 8%, gcc spat out an error about an undeclared function (sorry, I forgot what the function was). Natually, I went to Google and searched the name of the function. 0 results! Exactly was I was looking for! I ended up downloading the Ubuntu 11.10 Alpha 3 ISO and running "find -type f /usr/lib | xargs objdump -T | grep the_function". The problem lied in the libindicator package. There was a newer version available which contained that function. I have no idea why a package that's only 0.02 versions ahead of the AUR package would contain new functions...
    Next! Utouch...ugh...great memories! Not! I was so glad that I had fixed the utouch packages earlier (for touchegg to work). I was too frustrated from compiz and libindicator to try to compile more stuff.
    Cmake. Whoever created the CMakeLists.txt file didn't list all the dependencies required. So after running "makepkg" 10 billion times, waiting for "somebodydidntputthisincmake.h not found" errors to appear, I finally got all the dependencies I needed installed...or so I thought. After installing and compiling all these dependencies, the cmake only continues 3% further before encountering another cryptic gcc error. This time, there no error about a file not being found. So not knowing what dependency was missing, I headed over to http://packages.ubuntu.com and downloaded the Unity DEB source to find the dependencies in then debian/control file. After install those few dependencies that I missed, I ran "makepkg" again, hoping that it would finally compile successfully. CMake went a little further--5% further to be exact--before running into another error. It complained about DndSourceDragBegin() having two return types. Sure, enough "./plugins/unityshell/src/ResultViewGrid.h" had the return type as boolean and "/usr/include/Nux-1.0/Nux/InputArea.h" had the return type as void. WTF? How the heck does this even compile under 11.10???
    After changing void to bool in "/usr/include/Nux-1.0/Nux/InputArea.h", I ran "makepkg" once again anxiously waiting to the see the line "Finished making: unity 4.10.2". CMake compiled about 35% before running into error about an undeclared gtk function. Nooooooooooooo!!! I wasn't brave enough to install the git version of gtk3, so I created a chroot, installed the base packages, and installed all of those dependencies fairly quickly (it gets a lot easier after doing it so many times).
    Moving on to gtk3. After cloning the ~200MB git repository, autotools spits out an error about cairo-gl missing. So, I proceeded to install the cairo-gl-git package, which failed to compile (it compiled successfully outside of the chroot...). GREAT. So, Unity fails to compile because GTK version is too old, and GTK failed to compile because cairo-gl is missing, and cairo-gl fails to compile because I'm in a chroot. GAHHH!!! While thinking about throwing the computer out of the window, I searched the AUR for other GTK3 packages. I just happened to find a package named "GTK3-UBUNTU"! That package was still at version 3.0, but it was pretty easy to get the patches and source code for 3.1 from the Ubuntu GTK source package.
    So, FINALLY, Unity compiles. I was so darn happy, I didn't even care if it ran or not. I logged out and logged back into the GNOME 3 fallback mode, and entered the chroot. After running "xhost +SI:localuser:chenxiaolong" to run X11 apps in the chroot, I crossed my fingers and ran "DISPLAY=:0.0 unity --replace". It failed with python 3 complaining about missing modules. That's okay, since the Unity launch script is written in python 2. I changed the shebang line in "/usr/bin/unity" to point to python 2 and ran "DISPLAY=:0.0 unity --replace". It didn't necessarily fail, but it didn't succeed either. It didn't print out any error messages. Weird... I thought I'd try enabling Unity from the compiz settings manager then. I ran "DISPLAY=:0.0 compiz --replace" and "DISPLAY=:0.0 ccsm" and enabled the Unity plugin. Unity runs! Although nothing shows on the screen, it runs! It shows up in the process list! Woohoo!
    And that's about how far I got. There were quite a few Vala errors during the compiling process (I forgot which package it was), which is probably why Unity won't appear. I'll try again later with the vala-devel or vala-git package and hopefully Unity will work then. Here are screenshots of what I've gotten working so far:
    http://i.imgur.com/7F1fm.jpg
    http://i.imgur.com/zGNJc.jpg
    http://i.imgur.com/3mCgd.jpg
    By then way, I love the simplicity of pacman and the AUR. I can't imagine how long this would have taken with other package managers.

    City-busz: I'm getting a ton of Vala errors when I compile libunity (AUR version) with vala or vala-devel. libunity fails to compile with vala-git. I'll try your packages in a virtual machine and see how they work on 64 bit.
    In the meantime, Unity still fails to show up: http://i.imgur.com/btPwo.png I'll try out your PKGBUILDS and see how that works. I'm glad there are people who want to port Unity to Arch Linux
    EDIT: City-busz: Just to let you know, Unity will fail to compile at around 45% with GTK 3.0. Here's my source packaage for Ubuntu's GTK 3.1: http://ubuntuone.com/p/1EzX/ It contains all of the patches in the Ubuntu source package. I'm not sure if all the patches are needed, but GTK compiles fine with all of them.
    EDIT2: Right now, I'm trying to compile Vala 0.10.4, then version used in Ubuntu 11.10. Hopefully that will eliminate some of the Vala errors.
    EDIT3: Vala 0.10 is too old. 0.12 and 0.14 are also in the Ubuntu repository. Trying those...
    EDIT4: 0.14 is actually 0.13.1. Gah... Vala takes longer to compile under VirtualBox than GTK3...
    EDIT5: Okay...so VirtualBox "helpfully" became slow enough that I could read the error messages. The Vala error messages aren't actually error messages, but rather warnings about unused methods. I wonder what prevents Unity from running then...

  • HOWTO: Repairing a headless Arch Linux system that fails to boot

    The scenario...
    I have a "headless" (no monitor or input peripherals) Arch Linux computer that is connected to a local network via a wireless adapter, and accessed from other computers via SSH.
    Earlier today I accidentally broke its kernel so it did not boot anymore.
    Idea: Temporarily connect a monitor to the computer, boot from a live CD (like the Arch Linux install CD), then chroot into the system and fix it.
    Problem: I didn't have a compatible monitor at hand.
    Idea: Log in to the live CD session from another computer via SSH.
    Problem: The live CD can't auto-configure the headless computer's wireless connection, and setting it up manually while working "blind" would be a major hassle. A direct LAN connection to the router wasn't available either.
    Idea: Connect directly with a laptop via an Ethernet cable, and then use SSH from the laptop => This solution worked for me!
    If you find yourself in a similar situation, you can follow this tutorial which describes the solution that worked for me in detail...
    You need:
    a copy of the Arch Linux install CD (I used the 2013-05-01 version)
    an Ethernet cable
    a keyboard (might be dispensable, with additional preparation)
    a functional Arch Linux laptop (or other computer within physical range)
    Step 1) Prepare the live CD...
    I used the plain Arch Linux install iso, burnt to CD.
    By creating a carefully customized version of the live CD using Archiso, you might be able to eliminate the need for steps 2 and 4 - however that's not covered in this tutorial.
    Step 2) Prepare the laptop...
    The laptop needs to be configured in such a way, that the live CD's attempt to automatically establish an Ethernet connection with it will succeed:
    a) IP address
    In my case, the Laptop's wireless adapter had an IP address in the range 192.168.1.*, connecting it to the local network and Internet via the central router 192.168.1.1.
    The Ethernet connection between the laptop and the headless computer becomes a separate mini-network, for which I decided to use IP addresses in the range 192.168.0.* (note the different third number). Specifically, I set the IP address of my laptop's Ethernet card to 192.168.0.1. You can do this by running the following as root (replace "eth0" with the name of your Ethernet interface):
    ip link set eth0 up
    ip addr add 192.168.0.1/24 dev eth0
    b) IP forwarding (optional)
    While we're at it, we might as well enable IP forwarding, so that the live CD session on the headless computer will be able to directly use the laptop's outgoing Internet connection (which will make it much more convenient to install/upgrade packages during the repair session). To enable this, run the following as root (replace "eth0" and "wlan0" with the names of your laptop's Ethernet and wireless interfaces, respectively):
    iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface wlan0 -j MASQUERADE
    iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface eth0 -j ACCEPT
    sh -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"
    c) DHCP
    The live CD will assume there's a router on the other side of the Ethernet link, and ask for an IP address via DHCP. So all we need to do, is run a dhcp server on the Laptop that will answer this request. It's surprisingly easy: Just install the package dnsmasq, and put the following in the file /etc/dnsmasq.conf (again replacing "eth0" as appropriate):
    interface=eth0
    dhcp-range=192.168.0.2,192.168.0.2
    By setting the start & end values of dhcp-range to the same IP address, we enforce that this specific IP address will be used by the live CD on the headless computer.
    Then start the daemon by running the following as root:
    systemctl start dnsmasq.service
    Step 3) Connect everything and boot up the live CD...
    Connect the laptop and the headless computer via the Ethernet cable.
    Connect the external keyboard to the headless computer.
    Then put the Arch Linux install CD into the headless computer's drive, and boot. Wait a minute or so to give the CD time to load its boot menu (you should hear the CD drive spin up and settle down again). Then hit ENTER on the connected keyboard, to activate the default menu choice (which will boot straight to a live Arch Linux session with root privileges).
    You can check whether it booted up and successfully initialized the Ethernet connection, by ping'ing the IP address that was specified in step 2c) from the laptop:
    ping -c3 192.168.0.2
    Step 4) Start the SSH server...
    Unfortunately, the Arch Linux install CD doesn't automatically start its SSH server, and also it uses a randomized root password. To make SSH connections possible, you will have to use the connected keyboard to type in some stuff "blindly" (but it's simple enough):
    type "passwd" (without the quotes)
    type in a new password of your choice
    press ENTER
    type in the same password again
    press ENTER
    type "systemctl start sshd" (without the quotes)
    press ENTER
    Step 5) Connect from the laptop via SSH...
    Now you can open an SSH connection, by executing the following on the laptop (when it asks for the password, enter the one you chose in step 4):
    ssh [email protected]
    Step 6) Profit!
    Within this SSH shell on the laptop, you can now do whatever you would usually do to fix an Arch Linux system from a live CD.
    You'll probably want to chroot into your Arch root partition, which is very easy thanks to the arch-chroot tool that is included on the live CD (replace "/dev/sda3" with the name of the headless computer's root partition):
    mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
    arch-chroot /mnt
    If you set up IP forwarding as described in step 2b), then Internet access should magically work in this shell without any further configuration, so you can freely use pacman etc. inside the chroot.
    Enjoy!

    It is definitely able to recognize the USB and DVDs as separate drives; it gives the option of booting from USB, and it gives the memory capacity of the USB drive I used as a live USB, and the memory used for the live CD.  But when it comes time to actually boot, something is going wrong.
    I would suspect it is a problem with the BIOS, if not for the fact that I had a similar issue on my previous system, which used a completely different motherboard.  If it is the same issue, it would either have to be a problem with the DVD drive (although I don't know why it would be against loading some live CDs but not others) or perhaps the way I created the live CDs.  Although, again, I don't understand why the Linux Mint 32-bit DVD would work fine, while both 64-bit DVDs would not.
    I will try using a different DVD drive to boot the DVDs, and if that does not work, I'll try creating a new Arch live CD to see if I can resolve the issue.  But if anyone has any ideas, it would still be greatly appreciated.

  • Debtap - A script to convert .deb packages to Arch Linux packages

    I wrote this script in my free time to help people who, for any reason, want to convert a .deb to an Arch Linux package. It works in a similar way with alien (which converts .deb packages to .rpm packages and vice versa), but, unlike alien, it is focused on accuracy of conversion, trying to translate Debian/Ubuntu packages names to the correct Arch Linux packages names and store them in the dependencies fields of the .PKGINFO metadata in the final package. In other words, it won't only create an Arch package with the data of the original .deb package, but also it will try to create a valid and as accurate as possible .PKGINFO metadata file in the converted package. It uses pkgfile and pacman utilities to achieve this accuracy. The final package can be installed like any local Arch Linux package. Debtap is now available on AUR!
    FAQ
    Q: What "debtap" stands for?
    A: DEB To Arch (Linux) Package
    Q: Isn't better to download an official package or write a PKGBUILD in case I need to compile a package or convert a .deb package to an Arch Linux package?
    A: Sure it is, and I truely encourage you to do so. Debtap was written to create packages that either cannot be compiled (closed source packages) or cannot be built from AUR for various reasons (error during compiling or unavailable files), as a quick 'n' dirty solution and an extra option for creating Arch Linux packages for Arch Linux users.
    Q: So debtap will help me only in case I need to convert specific .deb packages to Arch Linux packages?
    A: No. In case you need to write a new PKGBUILD for a package that already exists in the Debian/Ubuntu distributions, by converting its .deb package to Arch package with debtap, thanks to the packages names translator function inside the script, it can help you determine which dependencies are needed for the package you write the PKGBUILD for and complete the necessary fields.
    Q: What are the minimum requirements to run this script?
    A: You need to have installed these dependencies: bash, binutils (provides ar utility for extracting .deb package), pkgfile, and fakeroot. You must run at least once (preferably recently) "debtap -u" to create/update pkgfile and debtap database (you do this with root privileges).
    Q: Debtap needs a lot of time to convert a package. So, why this is happening?
    A: Like I said, debtap is focused on accuracy. It won't just unpack a .deb package and then repackage its data to an Arch Linux package, ignoring metadata. Depending on the speed of your processor and the package itself, conversion can take from a few seconds to several minutes.
    Q: During conversion I get several warning messages, why?
    A: Debtap cannot be 100% accurate for several reasons,  the main reason for this is the complexity of packages names. If you want to check the freshly generated .PKGINFO and .INSTALL (this is optional file) metadata files or even fix the untranslated packages names inside .PKGINFO, debtap offers you the option to edit these files before compressing the final package.
    Q: How do I use debtap?
    A: The syntax is quite simple actually: debtap [option] package_filename
    For example: debtap world-of-goo-demo_1.0_i386.deb
    Any recommendations or questions for debtap are welcomed!

  • [Bounty] Free Macbook Pro to get Arch Linux running on Amazon's EC2

    First, the details:
    I will purchase a lowest–end Macbook Pro 13″ ($US 1,200 on Apple's store, new) for the first person to deliver to me a working set of step–by–step instructions for installing the latest Arch Linux on top of Amazon's EC2 platform.
    Caveats & Rules:
    - I don't care how long it takes you—there's a good chance I'm doing something absolutely stupid in my noobishness that's causing the problems I've been experiencing; if it takes you half an hour to make a working AMI, and produce instructions to do such… you just won yourself a Macbook Pro for half an hour's work. Booyah!
    - Again, I say, I don't care how long it takes you—if you don't produce a working set of instructions, there will be no payout, even if you spend 200 hours trying (as I already have!). It's a bounty, not a work contract d-:
    - You must provide me with instructions that work for me (as I don't intend to use your AMI, but rather modify the steps that worked for you a bit at a time until I arrive at an AMI configured exactly as I want it). If you arrive at a working AMI, and can reproduce your steps successfully locally, but they can't be made to work for me, I may be able to go about procuring alternative hardware for myself on which to preform the steps, or taking other measures to reproduce your environment; but the bottom line is I will not shell out until I can, personally, produce a working AMI running Arch Linux.
    - The instructions are considered to be "working" when I can successfully SSH into the root account on an instance instantiated from an AMI created by following the instructions using the key generated by EC2.
    - Your instructions must work both for x86_32 and x86_64 instance types; however, this shouldn't be too much of a problem, as (barring any weirdness) anything that works on x86_32 should be easily made to work on x86_64.
    - Instructions that involve instantiating an intermediate bundling host (say, a CentOS or Fedora Core instance) and then installing Arch to a loopback filesystem using a statically–built pacman are much preferred to instructions that involve me having to install and package Arch locally and then ship it up to S3, because my upstream is unimaginably slow and I eventually will need to create something between eight and twenty different AMIs (see below). But anything that works will be accepted.
    - If you don't want a Macbook Pro, alternative payment methods may be arranged, though you need to contact me before you start and arrange these, as there's only so much I can do.
    - If you are in any way confused or unsure of what I'm offering here, please contact me before you start (see below for contact info)
    Backstory:
    I set up the first AMI for Arch Linux on Amazon, but unfortunately, I did some really stupid things (hey, I was completely new to Linux at the time, gimmie a break!). The root filesystem was limited to 1GB, there was a whole bunch of software that really was completely unnecessary (WiFi drivers? on a virtualized server? seriously?), there were no kernel modules provided… and so on.
    So, after running all my stuff on instances of that for a while, I finally got fed up and found the time to start setting up a newer, cleaner AMI. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of deleting my old AMI before starting work on the first. Now I find myself completely unable to create an AMI that will work whatsoever, and I cannot for the life of me figure out why.
    I've already invested 200 or so hours of my personal time since deleting my original, broken AMI; I'm very fed up and in badly need of working instances. I tried every method I could think of; running the Arch installer from a LiveCD locally and then bundling the running (and thus proved working) Arch install and shipping it off to S3; installing Arch on a loopback filesystem locally, cloning it to a local partition, booting to it to ensure it works, and shipping it off to S3; installing Arch on a loopback filesystem on a remote bundling host running CentOS or whatever and then shipping it off to S3… I've tried installing nothing but the essentials, I've tried installing everything the installer offers… I've tried to do my best to remember the exact steps I took the first time around, years ago, and reproduce them exactly… nothing has worked.
    If I take EC2 out of the equation, and install the images I've prepared locally, they work. If I take Arch out of the equation, and install, say, CentOS instead, and then ship it off to EC2, it works. The only time I have problems is when I attempt to install Arch Linux specifically on EC2 specifically; the exact use–case I need.
    I've run into a lot of problems along the way, and fixed them as I go, but I universally end up with an AMI that, once instantiated, does not successfully boot. Worse yet, I get absolutely no output from the console (provided by the ec2-get-console command–line tool) to help me debug the problem. I can't give you any more specifics beyond this to help you, because I don't want to insinuate some idea that will cause you to make some little stupid mistake that I also made, thus dooming the project.
    Contact:
    For more info of any sort, please hit me up on Google Talk or Jabber (… or any other XMPP–federated chat service, or AIM, or ICQ, or MSN, or whatever you like, they all use the same address anyway) at the following address:

    Public AMIs aren't what I need, because I need to mass–produce quite a few AMIs with different custom configurations for different purposes; so I have to be able to start from scratch and arrive at a working AMI *myself*.
    As for the script, I'm sitting down to play with it now; it looks just about exactly like what I've been doing so far. Maybe there's some small thing he did differently that will make it work. Here's hoping it works for me; that'll be a real load off my chest.

  • System encryption using LUKS and GPG encrypted keys for arch linux

    Update: As of 2012-03-28, arch changed from gnupg 1.4 to 2.x which uses pinentry for the password dialog. The "etwo" hook described here doesn't work with gnupg 2. Either use the openssl hook below or use a statically compiled version of gnupg 1.4.
    Update: As of 2012-12-19, the mkinitcpio is not called during boot, unless the "install" file for the hook contains "add_runscript". This resulted in an unbootable system for me. Also, the method name was changed from install () to build ().
    Update: 2013-01-13: Updated the hook files using the corrections by Deth.
    Note: This guide is a bit dated now, in particular the arch installation might be different now. But essentially, the approach stays the same. Please also take a look at the posts further down, specifically the alternative hooks that use openssl.
    I always wanted to set up a fully encrypted arch linux server that uses gpg encrypted keyfiles on an external usb stick and luks for root filesystem encryption. I already did it once in gentoo using this guide. For arch, I had to play alot with initcpio hooks and after one day of experimentation, I finally got it working. I wrote a little guide for myself which I'm going to share here for anyone that might be interested. There might be better or easier ways, like I said this is just how I did it. I hope it might help someone else. Constructive feedback is always welcome
    Intro
    Using arch linux mkinitcpio's encrypt hook, one can easily use encrypted root partitions with LUKS. It's also possible to use key files stored on an external drive, like an usb stick. However, if someone steals your usb stick, he can just copy the key and potentially access the system. I wanted to have a little extra security by additionally encrypting the key file with gpg using a symmetric cipher and a passphrase.
    Since the encrypt hook doesn't support this scenario, I created a modifed hook called “etwo” (silly name I know, it was the first thing that came to my mind). It will simply look if the key file has the extension .gpg and, if yes, use gpg to decrypt it, then pipe the result into cryptsetup.
    Conventions
    In this short guide, I use the following disk/partition names:
    /dev/sda: is the hard disk that will contain an encrypted swap (/dev/sda1), /var (/dev/sda2) and root (/dev/sda3) partition.
    /dev/sdb is the usb stick that will contain the gpg encrypted luks keys, the kernel and grub. It will have one partition /dev/sdb1 formatted with ext2.
    /dev/mapper/root, /dev/mapper/swap and /dev/mapper/var will be the encrypted devices.
    Credits
    Thanks to the authors of SECURITY_System_Encryption_DM-Crypt_with_LUKS (gentoo wiki), System Encryption with LUKS (arch wiki), mkinitcpio (arch wiki) and Early Userspace in Arch Linux (/dev/brain0 blog)!
    Guide
    1. Boot the arch live cd
    I had to use a newer testing version, because the 2010.05 cd came with a broken gpg. You can download one here: http://releng.archlinux.org/isos/. I chose the “core“ version. Go ahead and boot the live cd, but don't start the setup yet.
    2. Set keymap
    Use km to set your keymap. This is important for non-qwerty keyboards to avoid suprises with passphrases...
    3. Wipe your discs
    ATTENTION: this will DELETE everything on /dev/sda and /dev/sdb forever! Do not blame me for any lost data!
    Before encrypting the hard disc, it has to be completely wiped and overwritten with random data. I used shred for this. Others use badblocks or dd with /dev/urandom. Either way, this will take a long time, depending on the size of your disc. I also wiped my usb stick just to be sure.
    shred -v /dev/sda
    shred -v /dev/sdb
    4. Partitioning
    Fire up fdisk and create the following partitions:
    /dev/sda1, type linux swap.
    /dev/sda2: type linux
    /dev/sda3: type linux
    /dev/sdb1, type linux
    Of course you can choose a different layout, this is just how I did it. Keep in mind that only the root filesystem will be decrypted by the initcpio. The rest will be decypted during normal init boot using /etc/crypttab, the keys being somewhere on the root filesystem.
    5. Format  and mount the usb stick
    Create an ext2 filesystem on /dev/sdb1:
    mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb1
    mkdir /root/usb
    mount /dev/sdb1 /root/usb
    cd /root/usb # this will be our working directory for now.
    Do not mount anything to /mnt, because the arch installer will use that directory later to mount the encrypted root filesystem.
    6. Configure the network (if not already done automatically)
    ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
    route add default gw 192.168.0.1
    echo "nameserver 192.168.0.1" >> /etc/resolv.conf
    (this is just an example, your mileage may vary)
    7. Install gnupg
    pacman -Sy
    pacman -S gnupg
    Verify that gnupg works by launching gpg.
    8. Create the keys
    Just to be sure, make sure swap is off:
    cat /proc/swaps
    should return no entries.
    Create gpg encrypted keys (remember, we're still in our working dir /root/usb):
    dd if=/dev/urandom bs=512 count=4 | gpg -v --cipher-algo aes256 --digest-algo sha512 -c -a > root.gpg
    dd if=/dev/urandom bs=512 count=4 | gpg -v --cipher-algo aes256 --digest-algo sha512 -c -a > var.gpg
    Choose a strong password!!
    Don't do this in two steps, e.g don't do dd to a file and then gpg on that file. The key should never be stored in plain text on an unencrypted device, except if that device is wiped on system restart (ramfs)!
    Note that the default cipher for gpg is cast5, I just chose to use a different one.
    9. Create the encrypted devices with cryptsetup
    Create encrypted swap:
    cryptsetup -c aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 -s 256 -h whirlpool -d /dev/urandom create swap /dev/sda1
    You should see /dev/mapper/swap now. Don't format nor turn it on for now. This will be done by the arch installer.
    Important: From the Cryptsetup 1.1.2 Release notes:
    Cryptsetup can accept passphrase on stdin (standard input). Handling of new line (\n) character is defined by input specification:
        if keyfile is specified as "-" (using --key-file=- or by positional argument in luksFormat and luksAddKey, like cat file | cryptsetup --key-file=- <action> ), input is processed
          as normal binary file and no new line is interpreted.
        if there is no key file specification (with default input from stdin pipe like echo passphrase | cryptsetup <action> ) input is processed as input from terminal, reading will
          stop after new line is detected.
    If I understand this correctly, since the randomly generated key can contain a newline early on, piping the key into cryptsetup without specifying --key-file=- could result in a big part of the key to be ignored by cryptsetup. Example: if the random key was "foo\nandsomemorebaratheendofthekey", piping it directly into cryptsetup without --key-file=- would result in cryptsetup using only "foo" as key which would have big security implications. We should therefor ALWAYS pipe the key into cryptsetup using --key-file=- which ignores newlines.
    gpg -q -d root.gpg 2>/dev/null | cryptsetup -v -–key-file=- -c aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 -s 256 -h whirlpool luksFormat /dev/sda3
    gpg -q -d var.gpg 2>/dev/null | cryptsetup -v –-key-file=- -c aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 -s 256 -h whirlpool -v luksFormat /dev/sda2
    Check for any errors.
    10. Open the luks devices
    gpg -d root.gpg 2>/dev/null | cryptsetup -v –-key-file=- luksOpen /dev/sda3 root
    gpg -d var.gpg 2>/dev/null | cryptsetup -v –-key-file=- luksOpen /dev/sda2 var
    If you see /dev/mapper/root and /dev/mapper/var now, everything is ok.
    11. Start the installer /arch/setup
    Follow steps 1 to 3.
    At step 4 (Prepare hard drive(s), select “3 – Manually Configure block devices, filesystems and mountpoints. Choose /dev/sdb1 (the usb stick) as /boot, /dev/mapper/swap for swap, /dev/mapper/root for / and /dev/mapper/var for /var.
    Format all drives (choose “yes” when asked “do you want to have this filesystem (re)created”) EXCEPT for /dev/sdb1, choose “no”. Choose the correct filesystem for /dev/sdb1, ext2 in my case. Use swap for /dev/mapper/swap. For the rest, I chose ext4.
    Select DONE to start formatting.
    At step 5 (Select packages), select grub as boot loader. Select the base group. Add mkinitcpio.
    Start step 6 (Install packages).
    Go to step 7 (Configure System).
    By sure to set the correct KEYMAP, LOCALE and TIMEZONE in /etc/rc.conf.
    Edit /etc/fstab:
    /dev/mapper/root / ext4 defaults 0 1
    /dev/mapper/swap swap swap defaults 0 0
    /dev/mapper/var /var ext4 defaults 0 1
    # /dev/sdb1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
    Configure the rest normally. When you're done, setup will launch mkinitcpio. We'll manually launch this again later.
    Go to step 8 (install boot loader).
    Be sure to change the kernel line in menu.lst:
    kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/mapper/root cryptdevice=/dev/sda3:root cryptkey=/dev/sdb1:ext2:/root.gpg
    Don't forget the :root suffix in cryptdevice!
    Also, my root line was set to (hd1,0). Had to change that to
    root (hd0,0)
    Install grub to /dev/sdb (the usb stick).
    Now, we can exit the installer.
    12. Install mkinitcpio with the etwo hook.
    Create /mnt/lib/initcpio/hooks/etwo:

    This hook allows for an encrypted root device with support for gpg encrypted key files.
    To use gpg, the key file must have the extension .gpg and you have to install gpg and add /usr/bin/gpg
    to your BINARIES var in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.
    HELPEOF
    Edit /mnt/etc/mkinitcpio.conf (only relevant sections displayed):
    MODULES=”ext2 ext4” # not sure if this is really nessecary.
    BINARIES=”/usr/bin/gpg” # this could probably be done in install/etwo...
    HOOKS=”base udev usbinput keymap autodetect pata scsi sata usb etwo filesystems” # (usbinput is only needed if you have an usb keyboard)
    Copy the initcpio stuff over to the live cd:
    cp /mnt/lib/initcpio/hooks/etwo /lib/initcpio/hooks/
    cp /mnt/lib/initcpio/install/etwo /lib/initcpio/install/
    cp /mnt/etc/mkinitcpio.conf /etc/
    Verify your LOCALE, KEYMAP and TIMEZONE in /etc/rc.conf!
    Now reinstall the initcpio:
    mkinitcpio -g /mnt/boot/kernel26.img
    Make sure there were no errors and that all hooks were included.
    13. Decrypt the "var" key to the encrypted root
    mkdir /mnt/keys
    chmod 500 /mnt/keys
    gpg –output /mnt/keys/var -d /mnt/boot/var.gpg
    chmod 400 /mnt/keys/var
    14. Setup crypttab
    Edit /mnt/etc/crypttab:
    swap /dev/sda1 SWAP -c aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 -s 256 -h whirlpool
    var /dev/sda2 /keys/var
    15. Reboot
    We're done, you may reboot. Make sure you select the usb stick as the boot device in your bios and hope for the best. . If it didn't work, play with grub's settings or boot from the live cd, mount your encrypted devices and check all settings. You might also have less trouble by using uuid's instead of device names.  I chose device names to keep things as simple as possible, even though it's not the optimal way to do it.
    Make backups of your data and your usb stick and do not forget your password(s)! Or you can say goodbye to your data forever...

    I'm trying to run my install script that is based on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=129885
    Decrypting the gpg key after grub works, but then "Devce root already exists." appears every second.
    any idea ?

  • [HOWTO] Installing Arch Linux stable release on Acer Aspire One 522

    [This is a work on progress and my first howto ever]
    These steps will teach you how to install ArchLinux x64 stable release (currently 2010.05) on Acer Aspire One 522 from an existing ArchLinux (your desktop computer)
    As you need a 2.6.37+ kernel to make networking work on the AO522, installing stable release as is won't work.
    This Howto borns with the intention to address this problem.
    You need to be familiarized with Linux internals to follow this howto.
    (Expect this howto to become useless with new stable releases of ArchLinux.)
    Remember to make a backup of your Windows 7 Starter system before installing ArchLinux.
    I did a full raw copy of the harddisk by using systemrescuecd, an external harddisk and dd utility:
    Just boot with systemrescuecd
    Mount your external harddisk on /mnt/floppy for example
    Clone harddisk with: dd if=/dev/sda |gzip -c > /mnt/floppy/ao522.img
    This process took me a lot of time since my external harddisk is USB-1 (almost an entire evening)
    Result image was about 22GB size
    This image will restore partition table, boot sector and all data if things go wrong.
    I followed some of the steps from this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ting_Linux
    If you have some Gentoo Linux experience you will find those steps really familiar.
    You will need 2 USB pendrives or similar storage options.
    One is needed to boot into your netbook, and the other to store our custom archlinux build.
    Making an updated ArchLinux system
    1) Make a local dir on your existing linux system
    # mkdir ./newarch
    2) Install pacman database on it
    # pacman -Sy -r ./newarch
    3) Install base system
    # pacman -S base -r ./newarch
    4) Let's chroot inside
    # cp /etc/resolv.conf ./newarch/etc/
    # cp /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist ./newarch/etc/pacman.d
    # mount -t proc proc ./newarch/proc
    # mount -t sysfs sys ./newarch/sys
    # mount -o bind /dev ./newarch/dev
    # chroot ./newarch /bin/bash
    5) Edit configuration files
    # nano -w /etc/rc.conf
    # nano -w /etc/hosts
    # nano -w /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
    Forget /etc/fstab for now since you don't know what partitions to use yet
    6) Generate kernel image
    # mkinitcpio -p kernel26
    7) Generate locales
    # nano -w /etc/locale.gen
    # locale-gen
    8) Make a tarball with our custom ArchLinux
    # exit
    # umount ./newarch/proc
    # umount ./newarch/dev
    # umount ./newarch/sys
    # tar -cvpf newarch.tar ./newarch
    9) Copy this tarball to an USB pendrive or external harddisk
    10) Boot your netbook with a Linux bootable USB stick (I used systemrescuecd, and remember to pick the x64 bit kernel at grub screen)
    You can use any linux distribution with usb bootable options. I suppose ArchLinux works too
    To install SystemRescueCD on an USB stick follow this tutorial -> SystemRescueCD on usb stick
    Insert the usb stick on your netbook, switch on, hit F2 to enter BIOS menu, and choose to boot from USB as first option. Save and Exit.
    You should be booting into SystemRescueCD without any problem.
    After initialization you will end in a root prompt.
    11) Let's partition the disk
    You will find 3 partitions if this is your first time:
    /dev/sda1 2048 29362175 14680064 27 Hidden NTFS WinRE
    /dev/sda2 * 29362176 29566975 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
    /dev/sda3 29566976 488397167 229312696 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
    My recomendation is to leave sda1 and sda2 intact, as they have the recovery information to restore Windows 7 Starter
    You have plenty of space with sda3, about 230G.
    So run fdisk/cfdisk and delete /dev/sda3
    Now create a 100M partition for boot
    Now create a Extended partition with all the space left
    Now create a 1GB logical partition for swap
    Now create a 10-15 GB  logical partition for root system
    And finally a logical partition for our home partition with all space left
    Your partition table should look like this:
    /dev/sda1 2048 29362175 14680064 27 Hidden NTFS WinRE
    /dev/sda2 * 29362176 29566975 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
    /dev/sda3 29566976 29771775 102400 83 Linux
    /dev/sda4 29771776 488397167 229312696 5 Extended
    /dev/sda5 29773824 31821823 1024000 83 Linux
    /dev/sda6 31823872 63281151 15728640 83 Linux
    /dev/sda7 63283200 488397167 212556984 83 Linux
    12) Create filesystems
    I choosed ext2 for boot, and reiserfs for root and home partitions.
    # mke2fs /dev/sda3
    # mkreiserfs /dev/sda6
    # mkreiserfs /dev/sda7
    # mkswap /dev/sda5
    13) Mount partitions
    # mkdir arch
    # mount /dev/sda6 arch
    # mkdir arch/boot
    # mount /dev/sda3 arch/boot
    # mkdir arch/home
    # mount /dev/sda7 arch/home
    14) Copy our custom ArchLinux build on it
    # mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/floppy (for example)
    # cd arch
    # tar -xvpf /mnt/flopy/newarch.tar
    15) Configure /etc/fstab
    Mine is as follows:
    devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
    shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
    /dev/sda3 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
    /dev/sda6 / reiserfs defaults 0 1
    /dev/sda7 /home reiserfs defaults 0 1
    /dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
    16) Chroot in your new system
    # mount -t proc proc ./proc
    # mount -t sysfs sys ./sys
    # mount -o bind /dev ./dev
    # chroot ./ /bin/bash
    17) Install grub
    # grub-install
    Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to suit your needs
    Mine looks like this:
    timeout 5
    default 0
    color light-blue/black light-cyan/blue
    title Arch Linux
    root (hd0,2)
    kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda6 ro
    initrd /kernel26.img
    title Arch Linux Fallback
    root (hd0,2)
    kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda6 ro
    initrd /kernel26-fallback.img
    title Windows 7 Recovery
    rootnoverify (hd0,0)
    makeactive
    chainloader +1
    As you see, you can restore Windows 7 Starter from Grub.
    18) Change root password
    # passwd
    19) Add a regular  user account
    # useradd -G video,audio,users -m username
    # passwd username
    20) You're done!
    # exit
    # cd ..
    # umount ./arch/proc
    # umount ./arch/dev
    # umount ./arch/sys
    # umount ./arch/boot
    # umount ./arch/
    # reboot
    Remove the usb stick from your netbook.
    If all went ok, you will be inside your new stable and updated ArchLinux system

    Using acpid to achieve the following:
    - Change screen brightness when operating in battery mode
    - Power off when the power button is pressed
    - Suspend when the lid is down
    - Reduce CPU frequency speed to maximize battery usage
    Remember that system suspend is only supported by ati free driver xf86-video-ati
    1) Install acpid daemon and cpufrequtils
    # pacman -S apcid cpufrequtils
    2) edit acpid handler script
    # nano -w /etc/acpi/handler.sh
    Change the following section:
    ac_adapter)
    case "$2" in
    AC)
    case "$4" in
    00000000)
    echo -n $minspeed >$setspeed
    #/etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode start
    00000001)
    echo -n $maxspeed >$setspeed
    #/etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode stop
    esac
    *) logger "ACPI action undefined: $2" ;;
    esac
    for:
    ac_adapter)
    case "$2" in
    ACAD)
    case "$4" in
    00000000)
    echo 3 > /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
    cpufreq-set -c 0 -f 800Mhz
    cpufreq-set -c 1 -f 800Mhz
    00000001)
    echo 9 > /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
    cpufreq-set -c 0 -f 1000Mhz
    cpufreq-set -c 1 -f 1000Mhz
    esac
    *) logger "ACPI action undefined: $2" ;;
    esac
    Make sure you changed AC) for ACAD)
    Now change this other section:
    button/power)
    #echo "PowerButton pressed!">/dev/tty5
    case "$2" in
    PWRF) logger "PowerButton pressed: $2" ;;
    *) logger "ACPI action undefined: $2" ;;
    esac
    with:
    button/power)
    #echo "PowerButton pressed!">/dev/tty5
    case "$2" in
    PWRF) poweroff ;;
    *) logger "ACPI action undefined: $2" ;;
    esac
    Change:
    button/lid)
    #echo "LID switched!">/dev/tty5
    logger "ACPI group/action undefined: $1 / $2"
    for:
    button/lid)
    pm-suspend && /etc/rc.d/network restart
    logger "ACPI group/action undefined: $1 / $2"
    Network restart is used because wlan0 will disconnect from AP after some time. You can try using iwconfig wlan0 essid <ap> key <key> instead of the network script, but haven't tested it myself.
    3) Start acpid and load modules
    # modprobe powernow-k8
    # /etc/rc.d/acpid start
    Add "acpid" to DAEMONS in /etc/rc.conf to start on boot
    Add "powernow-k8" to the modules sections on /etc/rc.conf to load at boot
    Stopping system freezes due to ethernet driver
    The only way people have found to avoid freezes is by blacklisting atheros kernel drivers.
    To do it at boot just edit /etc/rc.conf and change the MODULES line as this:
    MODULES=(!ath9k !atl1c)
    Reboot and you're done, but remember to not press the Wifi key, because it can freeze your system.
    Correctly starting wireless at boot
    I've found that standard scripts wont load properly my wireless lan. It gave an error telling you to use the WIRELESS_TIMEOUT variable and such.
    To solve this, edit /etc/rc.d/network script and change the wi_up function by adding a second iwconfig command like this:
    wi_up()
    eval iwcfg="\$wlan_${1}"
    [[ ! $iwcfg ]] && return 0
    /usr/sbin/iwconfig $iwcfg
    [[ $WIRELESS_TIMEOUT ]] || WIRELESS_TIMEOUT=2
    sleep $WIRELESS_TIMEOUT
    /usr/sbin/iwconfig $iwcfg
    bssid=$(iwgetid $1 -ra)
    It will do the trick and will start at boot correctly. This is not a solution but a fix.
    Adjust Touchpad to disable false taps
    What I did here is defining an area to be ignored. This area are 3 rectangles on top, left and right of the touchpad.
    This means you can write and press space without having the cursor click out of the window and such.
    # synclient AreaLeftEdge=150
    # synclient AreaRightEdge=1300
    # synclient AreaTopEdge=300
    Also, add it to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf:
    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "evdev touchpad catchall"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "AreaTopEdge" "300"
    Option "AreaLeftEdge" "150"
    Option "AreaRightEdge" "1300"
    EndSection
    You can play with those values. They just work for me.
