Arch Linux User Creation Section

I think there should be some sort of Arch Linux software/script/multimedia section in this board. Like the various splash screens, wallpapers, scripts, and other related software/things that the users of Arch Linux have created. It isn't very easy to find the various scripts that Arch Linux users have made, so it would be a good idea to move things that make the Arch Linux experience much better to a section all to itself, either that or make there be some centralized place on the website with links to stuff like Arch Stats and some of the other scripts that I know people have made, but are hard to find.
Also, many distributions' websites have a few screenshots of their distro in action, so maybe we should take a few of the best screenshots that were posted to the forum, and put those in a section on the website.

.dotjs and .dotcss for Arch Linux Users

Hi all,
I've created a new Google Chrome extension to enable the functionalities of .dotjs and .dotcss extensions for Arch Linux users.
Check it here; https://github.com/azer/.w3
Contributions and ideas are welcome,
Azer

Thanks for doing this, never heard of dotjs before, but I love the idea and definitely have some use cases for this.
Of course as an arch user, Im just kindly asking if you plan to create an AUR - package for this?

Enjoy!

Hmm... my state just got a lottery... maybe it's time to start playing it... *(searches for loose money to spend on lotto tickets and those little orange peanut shaped marshmallows., feels self getting fatter)*

You're looking at the Arch Linux user Retroshare community (this thread). No, it's not active.
I suppose the distinctive features (FoF) of retroshare really don't have that much appeal for the common user.

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!

Trouble with a wired connection on my fresh Arch Linux Install

I am a new Arch Linux user. I used to use Ubuntu exclusively, but I'm to the point where I can no longer stand a lot of the issues with the new development and Canonical. Anyways....
I have a Dell Inspiron 1440 laptop with an RTL8110SC (Module R8169) Ethernet port. (Pardon me if my terminology is wrong; please correct me if it is so I can learn? ) During the install process with the CD that I made, I had no issues connecting to the Internet. However, whenever I boot into my install, there is no connection. I've tried pinging various web pages and nothing will happen. I know that my hardware is compatible, but I do not know what to do next. I've tried everything under the Wiki's Beginner's Guide and the Network Configuration Guide.
I just realised after I wrote this top portion that it no longer is connecting via CD, either. Pinging is giving me errors about no packets being received.
Please help me with this matter? I would love to start using Arch Linux!

Ping is a very basic command that is fundamental to debugging networks at the lowest levels.

Just some few Arch Linux questions

Hi, I am new to Arch Linux and am looking for some advice and answers.
Here are the questions:
1. Does the update command (I think its called pacman and it updates many things with one command in terminal) update the Arch Linux base, the DE that is installed, the apps that are installed and artwork on Arch Linux?
2. Is Arch Linux User friendly once installed (When I say user friendly, I mean something like Ubuntu)?
3. Does the drivers (Wireless card drivers, graphics card drivers, printer drivers and audio card drivers) come pre-installed once Arch Linux is installed like Ubuntu?
4. What is the stablility and speed of Arch Linux compared to Ubuntu?
That is all I need to know.
Cheers,
molom

pacman is the package manager for Arch. It will install single package, batches of packages, update the installed packages and several other things. Yes, one command 'pacman -Syu will update all the installed packages to the most recent available in the repositories. It will not update your artwork, ut everything else will be updated if you so desire.
molom wrote:2. Is Arch Linux User friendly once installed (When I say user friendly, I mean something like Ubuntu)?
Once you have installed the base systen, updated and then installed whatever desktop environment or window manager you want, whatever programs you want, etc., it will be as user friendly as you have made it.
molom wrote:3. Does the drivers (Wireless card drivers, graphics card drivers, printer drivers and audio card drivers) come pre-installed once Arch Linux is installed like Ubuntu?
As others have said, the install process does a fairly good job of detecting your hardware and installing the necessary modules, but it is up to you to install drivers for your nVidia / ATI video card if you want accelerated graphics. You'll have to install your printer (generally via cups, which you must also install). You'll have to install alsa and you may have to configure your sound.
molom wrote:4. What is the stablility and speed of Arch Linux compared to Ubuntu?
Arch is what you make it. You can have a rock solid stable system, or you can opt to be bleeding edge and risk the occasional package breaking.
molom wrote:So when you say 'pkgs', do you also mean the desktop environment as well. For example, I have E17 installed and I use the 'pacman -Syu' command, will it update the version of E17 on my PC to the current version of E17?
A package is a piece of software. E17 is a package, or perhaps a meta package made up of a bunch of packages. alsa is a package. gnome network-manager is a package. Anything that is installed on your system is managed and updated by pacman.
molom wrote:Is there something similar to synaptic in Arch Linux?
pacman is the Arch package manager. It does not need a gui front end, though there are a few third party front ends that have been written. I do not know if they are still active.
molom wrote:
I'm really eager into knowing about Arch Linux.

Then I also suggest as other have, that you avail yourself of the wiki, especially the beginner's guide which answers several of the questions you've asked.
Arch Linux is what you make of it, but you have to do the making. Heck, that's 95% of the fun!

I tried mounting one of them but this is what it shows:
[kaola@ArchHost ~]$ sudo mount /dev/sdb6

Please help me, this is very annoying compared to ubuntu which does do the job pretty well. By the way, I'm using kde as my DE. Dolphin sees the partitions but cant access.
It says:

For seamless integration similar to Ubuntu:
Follow this wiki for ntfs-3g installation and fstab configuration.
For basic on-demand support:
# pacman -Sy ntfs-3g

Now that did the trick!!!!!

Arch linux logo

I was always wondering what is that black "shadow" behind the mighty blue arch? It certenly doesn't look like it is cast by the arch, so what is it?
The only idea that it came to me is that it is a ponytail. :? But then the arch seems to me like a cherokee. (no ofense meant here to any cherokee arch linux user. i was just recently playing prey )

[Fake News] Arch Linux to change its release cycle

Today the Arch Linux community proclaimed that Arch Linux will change its release cycle and version numbering, as this was requested by billions of corporate goonies, Freemasons and Illuminati throughout the universe.
Releases will henceforth be scheduled in intervals deemed posh by the GNU/Linux community at the particular moment. The version numbering will be based on year the a new release is being published. Arch Linux "2016" will be released in early 2006. All following releases will have an offset of at least 10 years to underline how much more pure dead brilliant Arch Linux is compared to Mandrake.
To achieve a smooth transition, an transitional release will be made at once, named "Useless Marketing Edition". The Arch Linux FTP server will be configured allow one download of the iso image only. This will also be an experiment to find out how the community will be able to spread such a limited edition.
An Arch Linux user who wishes to remain nameless said in an exclusive interview with the almighty incinerator: "This is a great opportunity for Arch Linux, the new release numbering will confuse and divert computer illiterate lusers from installing our beloved Arch Linux, freeing us from answering stupid support requests. Now we can finally start to work towards our ultimate goal: To become the only GNU/Linux community being as elitist as OpenBSD's."

Ach guys, you don't get it :-(
The version numbering scheme was supposed to mock the fact Mandrake plans to release their "2006" version in 2005. That reminds of old times, when (computer) magazines were trying to beat each other releasing the most up-to-date issue to the market. The whole affair became absolutely silly, there were magazines that had the "April" issue hitting the shelves at the end of January. These "issue number wars" occur every now and then.
The funny scenario I can imagine is that other (GNU/Linux) vendors could jump onto that train and "predating" their releases further and further.
The rest is just various mockery about lusers and other things found in the Mandrake's press release. And of course the arrogantly elitist OpenBSD community always deserves getting their arses whipped ;-)

Solution Manager 4.0, Red hat Linux 4.0 ES & AS, JSF user creation error

It could not able to create Java user.
It stops. this error is coming during sapjsf user creation.
is this bug in SOL man 4.0, any one able to successfully install on Linux.

Creation Date of Linux User

Hi,
I am using OEL5. How could I find when a Linux user was created?
thanks and regards

User and group creation commands (useradd and groupadd) are logged in /var/log/secure. You may also be able to determine this from timestamps in the user's home directory. Use ls -clart | head to see when files and subdirectories were created. The oldest ones probably were created when the user was created.

Arch linux for Ubuntu users

Hello everyone,
When using Synaptic on Ubuntu it usually sets everything up for you so all the installed software tends to work out of the box without any need to change around configuration. Is the package manager in Arch Linux as integrated as the one from Ubuntu?
Thanks
Frank

I'm new to the linux scene (about 1 month now). My most used distro (and my fallback if I mess up another distro on a seperate partition) was Ubuntu, until I figured out the basics of Arch. After this enlightenment, I find Arch to be much easier to work with in terms of customizing apps, having the right libraries I want, and to just do daily functions. I love to always check for updates to the system. Ever notice in ubuntu there are about 30 repositories you have to sync with? In Arch there are the 3 basic repositories (extra, core, community) and multilib if you are on 64bit. Working with pacman is much more efficient and controlled than apt-get imho.
One thing I hated with apt-get is that you add in 3rd party PPAs that are slow. With Arch and its pacman + yaourt(aur) there is really no need for these 3rd party repositories as everything you can imagine is probably available in official repositories or built by the community. Go check out https://aur.archlinux.org/ this is one of the coolest community made pool of apps around.
As mentioned before, the pacman doesn't hold your hands so be prepared to google and learn what some packages do. For example, I am running gnome and install a KDE app called amarok. Pacman will install everything (including KDE and qt libs) to get amarok started. However, the only things it doesn't install (but it does tell you what) is extra depencies.
Optional dependencies for amarok
libgpod: support for Apple iPod audio devices
libmtp: support for portable media devices
loudmouth: backend needed by mp3tunes for syncing
ifuse: support for Apple iPod Touch and iPhone
So, basically I just read through pacman's output, and either google or make a decision on what is needed. This way my system is controlled tightly and I know more about the system. In the future if I buy an ipod and want to sync, I'll remember there are some optional depencies available for this. I can type "pacman -Qi amarok" and it will show me what it depends on as well as optional depencies.
Sorry for going on for so long but you get the point.
