Arch-live.co.nr is down

Arch-live.co.nr is down cause it went over the 6Gb bandwidth a month limit. This is a good thing in a since cause it means that my project is very popular. The site was also not hosting the isos. It was just the web site.
Anyway's I'm hoping that maybe my project could become a official archlinux project. A once a month iso release with desktop and stuff is not a bad idea for some the newer archlinux users anyway.

Thanks for your help. I appreciate you & others, who make things like Arch Linux more: popular, accessible, & easier to use for new beginners, here.
I discovered your project at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arch_Linux

X freezes in arch live cd

Hi,
I have been trying to boot into x from the live arch cd. So I followed the archiso guide and now I am able to boot in live cd with my persnalised packages, basically it's just xorg, openbox, synaptics for my laptop and midori. So that I can always open temrinal and midori browser side my side and refer to arch wiki's in installation if I have to ever make any. Currently I am testing the iso, but X freezes immediately I do a startx, then nothing works. Mouse nor keyboard. I am not sure how to debug this. Please guide...
And it's a live cd, so next time I login the Xorg logs generated would be gone
Thanks

I think that you're overcomplicating this, just use a terminal browser, and different tty's (ctrl+alt + F2) I dont think that the live cd i made to boot into X, i cant see no reason why not, but it is not intended to do it.
Also i think there's an alternative arch linux installer, that uses some kind os ncurses GUI, an has the guide prepackaged, but im not sure if it is still active (maybe someone can post a link to it i cannot find it on google). I think that the normal live cd has somer sort of installation guide in it.
Alternatively im thinking in way of installing arch, using two live cd's (or two live usbs), one from a distro with X already installed, (like ubuntu) and then arch live cd. Boot into ubuntu, then chroot into arch live cd and perform the installation from there. But well it is overcomplicating things also, but at least you will have a GUI.

Can anyone help me mirror my arch-live ultimate edition?

I was wondering if anyone will help me in hosting my arch-live ultmate edition? I also would like to know what programs/desktops people want on it. I asking cause I don't want to use all my friends monthly bandwidth in a few days. The iso is going to use wcp (wolvix control panel) for installing it on to a livecd.
I asking this cause I can't use bittorrent with my linksys router on wifi well. I also can't use my back computer cause its my brother's.
Will anyone help me with this project?
PS This is a unoffical project still. I'm also going to have kdemod and kdemod4 in iso in less there is a problem with it. This iso is going to be no bigger then 1.4GB. This will allow you to put it on a 2gb usb key with keeping changes.

openbox, fluxbox, fvwm, awesome, twm, icewm, gnome, xfce, e16, and e17 i think are all on the cd iso. Its just kdemod4 doesn't fit in without remove most if not all of the desktop apps.
Thanks for asking though,
@crouse
Thanks for the mirror.

Why not? kdemod + arch kde, same for arch live +chakra

Sorry for bug you people, but now that the waters are calm, i wanna ask a simple cuestion, why 2 proyects for the same task, arch kde and kdemod, same for arch live and chakra.
as user of both i think if all join the efforts, arch could be even better and erase the problems spesific for kde or kdemod, i now... linux is choice, and diferent aproachs(now are very close i think). but, ARCH Linux is one of the finnest distros and unified it, could make ready for be a popular wide users target distro.
linux is choice, but community is common efforts for a greater resoults.

drelyn86 wrote:Maybe the Chakra project should use Arch KDE rather than KDEmod. Then they could spend less time splitting packages, and more time fixing that god-awful Shaman application. I understand their liveCD is still in Alpha testing.
Agree! Altho arch should have used kdemod as its kde in the first place

Arch-live-20080210 released

I have update arch-live yesterday but i think its ok to call it 20080210 release. I change the version cause arch linux is a rolling distro so there is no need for betas, RC, etc.
there are a lot of programs add in this release. here is the list of module/programs in modules subfolders:
libs folder:
* boost
* chmlib
* jre
* libmysqlclient
* libstdc++5.lzm
* mysql-clients
* qt3 and qt4
* swt
* wxgtk & wxgtk-2.6
* xulrunner
server folder:
* apache
* lighttpd
* mysql-python
* mysql
* php
xapps folder:
* deluge
* epdfview
* flashplugin
* geany
* gftp
* gimp
* gqview
* gtk-recordmydesktop & recordmydesktop
* gtkpod
* inkscape
* isomaster
* mplayer
* openoffice-base
* pidgin
* smplayer
* speedcrunch
* urlgfe
* xchm
xgames folder:
* lincity-ng
* tuxguitar
* warzone2100
* zsnes
NOTE: tuxguitar and zsnes don't have desktop files. This is not my fault. The maintainer of these packages didn't make them.
Arch-live is a lot more module now with this new design. Most of the deps are in 08-xlibs and 05-common. Also firefox, firefox-i18n, and wicd are in base/extra folder. I thought you should know that before questions come up. This iso file is 612mb now. So its a lot big and took me 3 and a half hours to upload. I believe i may have for got something but I leave that for you figure out.
project page:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/chrisx/
I hope this helps everyone out there.

you can load module with in shell:
uselivemod /path/to/module.lzm
You can also right-click on a module in thrunar and click 'use module' option.
You can remove module with this in shell:
rmlivemod modulename
There is no need for a modulename.lzm in rmlivemod command. rmlivemod will only remove modules that doesn't have open/running files.
arch-live will have the new linux-live scripts when i can test them and add my custom options. I'm also going to see how to make the kernel more arch compatible if possible. I have kernel source if you want it.

Arch live CD with gnome

Well charka looks interesting but to be honest KDE make me seriously reconsider pros/cons of living vs Dieing. I don't know why but I just cant stand it using it as my main DE. So its there a similar project with gnome? Also charka seems a little bloated , I was thinking of one with Arch + KDE and thats it. But whatever.
EDIT: Sorry I was talking about an Arch live cd with gnome charka is an arch based distro with a kde desktop. I was talking about a arch based distro with a gnome desktop.

This «Charka» intrigues me, where did you find out about it?
Also, detailed memory analysis¹ at our Chakra World Domination Headquarters have shown that a comparable Gnome setup can consume several magnitudes more memory and bloat, while featuring only an infitesimal amount of the features, of a Kde Desktop Environment.
I am currently unaware of any efforts to squeeze a gnome onto a CD-platter, but I'm sure you could do it on a couple of DVD's and some effort. Writing a usable installer using GTK is a whole other story (good luck finding good and up to date tutorials and documentation!).
¹: For a discussion of a methodology, please see: http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/memory/analysis.html
(DISCLAIMER: No, I haven't done any real testing, and noone has done any lately that I know of (but KDE won last round), but my personal experiences confirm it. If anyone seriously want to make a Charka, featuring Gnome and Arch and a pretty installer, get in touch, as our installation backend should be easily shared between installers, no matter what desktop or toolkit you write it for/use. I'm serious about the lack of good documentation for GTK, though.)

Arch-live beta 1 released

Hey, this is godane.
Me and Tatzi came up with some scripts for a zenwalk live distro we were making. Tatzi did most of the scripting where i add alot of the stuff from zenwalk's build scripts to his build scripts to it make neater. Tatzi told me about MeoW linux live cd he made a while back and that it was base on arch linux.
I decide one day to try to make are build scripts work for arch linux. I needed to know if it was possible to make a modular live cd/usb system like slax/zenlive with arch linux. I found out it was hard at first because i didn't know much about the pacman system you guys made.
Anyway i figure out how to use it. For my modules i use a file with a list of package that will be installed in a aufs union. When one module is completed it will change the read-write folder then go on to the next package list for the next module. Its done this way so you have control of what package goes where. This is not like archie or faunOS or even MeoW linux. This a true modular system like slax or zenlive. This has not been done for arch linux yet.
I know you would say faunOS is a modular live system. No its not. Its just a mirror of a hard drive using linux-live scripts. I say this cause parts of a package is in all modules. You can't really take out a package with out having to change the whole system.
here are my goals:
1. To make a modular live cd/usb system like zenlive for arch linux.
2. To make it easier to make update modules for the system to stay up to date.
3. To make a desktop like zenwalk with xfce for default desktop.
Here is a link to may project page for now:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/chrisx/
NOTE: I know the project page says chrisx. I don't have the arch-live page yet. This is just for now.
The iso is update to 20060206 core+extra+community.
Here are some of the module scripts:
update2lzm name: This is to copy the current /var/lib/pacman/local and to do a pacman -Syu in a tmp folder.
arch2lzm package_name: Copy's the current /varlib/pacman/local and makes a package with deps.
You can also make modules from folders in thunar by right-clicking and click on the build module option.
I hope this helps.

Hi godane,
Glad to see you working on this. The more live distros the better
I am trying to figure out what exactly you mean by "modular". Do you mean something like morphix, where the OS is comprised of a set of modules, like a module for scientific apps, a module for X apps, etc?
Here are some points:
- You can uninstall any package you like in FaunOS and save your session at reboot/shutdown and that package is gone. This is done normally through pacman.
- FaunOS is a lot more than just a mirror of a hard drive with linux live scripts. We actually use larch to produce FaunOS not linux live scripts. There is the session saving feature of larch that we use which I think you have missed. Session saving allows you to save changes back to the boot device as overlays that are unioned with previous images. Also this allows us to have not write back anything to the USB at runtime, elongating the life of the USB drive. You only write once, if you chose to save your session to you boot device.
I am currently downloading your system.
I will let you know my thoughts.
Thanks and keep up the good work,
Raymano

SF killed arch-live hosting

SF killed my project for no real reason. They say that they don't want distro on the site cause of space. Here is a project that takes alot of space a bandwidth:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/absolute-linux/
I'm tell you about this cause if there is a problem with my distro then there should be a bigger problem with Absolute Linux. I'm only doing this rant cause they didn't even give me a email for why they killed my hosting.
BTW, absolute linux use more space and 6 times the bandwidth that arch-live took up. (33gb bandwith a week for arch-live Vs 180gb+ a week for Absolute Linux.) Explain why there is a double standard with SF.
If anyone can help me with host that would be great.
PS The project maybe renamed to ZenArch. The idea is we have 2 apps for a task instead of one. One for low spec systems and one for higher end systems. We will be simple like zenwalk in that ZenArch will be for newbies. Almost everything will be setup for them to start learning archlinux.
EDIT: I decide to change back to arch-live has the distro's name. Only cause I think ZenArch would cause confusion.

I have found a new host with jeebusmoblie in irc.
http://arch-live.isawsome.net/
I have some modules there already. The iso will take longer to upload though. (About 5 hours for 505mb iso file.)
But if anyone wants to be a mirror host that would be of great help. (This way there is a backup mirror so everything is not lost again.)
I hope this helps.

Arch Live Disk Creation - (Question)

So I have been working on arch for the past few months and have a great customized desktop that I'd like to carry around with me.
I'm talking about having the LiveCD + Installer for the already existing Install.
I tried archiso but that just creates the base install and hence i can't set the default mouse theme and icons that its suppose to load ( if it can be done then please help me!) and the other alternative larch has no more support anymore as the site has been pulled down so thats a problem.
If there is any way that i could configure the exact same desktop settings and looks into archiso then please guide me how and if not then please try to suggest and alternative to solve my problem

It *is* in the wiki:
Change into the directory we created earlier (~/archlive/releng/ if you have been following this guide), you will see a number of files and directories; we are only concerned with a few of these, mainly: packages.* - this is where you list, line by line, the packages you want to have installed, and the airootfs directory - this directory acts as an overlay and it is where you make all the customisations.
Generally, every admininistrative task that you would normally do after a fresh install except for package installation can be scripted into ~/archlive/releng/airootfs/root/customize-airootfs.sh. It has to be written from the perpective of the new environment, so / in the script means the root of the live-iso which is created.
So you need to script your desktop setup & place the script in ~/archlive/releng/airootfs/root/customize-airootfs.sh

Arch Live CD x64 hanging during boot at "triggering uevents"

Hello!
I recently was recommended Arch by a friend, and after I followed the 'Newbies Guide' and burning a live CD to install Arch with, it appears to hang during Live CD boot at "installing uevents."
I am trying to install Arch as a dual boot on a late 2008 MacBook Pro which is currently running x64 Windows 7. I have plenty of HD space (100gb free and 100gb unallocated to install Arch onto).
Here is a picture:
http://i.imgur.com/Y8P41nf.jpg
I get the same error weather I try to install x64 or i686 (I think that's what it's called). Is there any reason for this?
Thank you!

Live video image upside down

I have a Canon 600D, T3i and I am trying to use the Live HD Video with a non-Canon lens and viewing on a 23" hd Monitor. The image is reversed and even when I change the settings on the camera to "flip" the image, it will not do it. I have a friend who has the same camera and lens he does not have this issue. Is there something I can do to resolve this?

Thanks, but we use different monitors. I have no issues here.
If he places an object in the bottom right corner of the FOV, it shows up upside down in the top left corner. ie, placing a pencil (like an arrow) under the lens on the bottom right side pointing up, it shows up in the top left corner pointing down. There s no monitor control to flip the image, but there is with the T3i. It has a built-in 3" screen that can flip over. This setting keeps the image erect on the view screen and it has a selection to do the same with a monitor as well. I have this setting turned on, and I'm not having his issue.

After update Arch stays at Welcome Arch - arch live iso the same

Hi, I would ask for your help. I did an update of Arch today morning, after this i can,t boot Arch. I added nomodeset to kernel but it just doesen,t work, won,t boot. I tried to run it from usb media, i downgraded kernel to 3.9, i downgraded intel drivers but still no luck. I have Acer Aspire AOD 270 with GMA3600 driver and Intel Atom procesor. Could somebod help me? It stays at Welcome Arch sign.

BTW - i know that it is pointed towards me, but belive, or not - i read a lot, i only ask when i can't find a solution over the net, arch wiki or on other media. This problem is very strange - even iso from usb won't boot, on 2 computers (one desktop, one netbook). As a matter of fact, i've been reading since thursday about this problem.

[SOLVED] Fail to boot Arch x86_64 live CD on a HP laptop

Hey, guys, what's up?
Well, here's the thing: I bought a new laptop a couple days ago and I'm kind of having some trouble. Its a HP Pavilion dm4-1063cl (this model: http://www.notebookcheck.info/HP-Pavili … 579.0.html, just in case).
I ran some tests in Windows 7 about the architecture of the processor and it clearly seems that it can support arch x86_64 bits. However, I tried to boot Arch x86_64 by a Net Installation CD and it doesn't work. The process fail in the "Loadin UDEV events" phase, something like that. PS: the i686 image boots perfectly.
Then, I thought that was the CD I burned the reason for trouble - I did not check md5sum and stuff like that. So, I burned another dual image (with boths i686 and x86_64) and tried to run again the 64bits kernel. It did not work in the same phase.
The only response I get is a dark screen that never seems to go away. It was a panic I've never seen before with Arch Linux.
The only alternative I can think right now is trying an older version of the live image CD and see what happens, but it doesn't seem like a very good option. Any ideas?
Hope someone of you can help me. Here in Brazil, most of computers we buy come with Windows installed and we don't have quite a chance of not getting - or paying for - it. I'm sure I'll have such a trouble installing dual boot with Arch Linux, but I really miss my Arch Linux...
And, damn, I worked too hard to get a new processor. I really dont wanna use Arch i686 on a pc with x86_64 architecture, it seems like an option, but a dumb one. =p
Cheers,
Wilson.
EDIT: It turns out that tt was not a kernel panic as I thought. The kernel changed the resolution of the display during this fase, and somehow it doesent work.
The trick I used to solve this was adding "nomodeset" to the kernel line in the Live CD booting. Btw, you can do it by selecting the booting option you want in the live CD and pressing TAB. Then, you can edit the kernel line. (:

HP DM4-1265, Intel Corei5, Intel Graphics. (Two days old, windoze wiped, Arch installed)
At boot the brightness is, for some unexplained reason, set all the way down to 0 on these intel based DM4 laptops. A few simple <Fn>+<F3> turns the brightness back up.
To solve this I had to put this in rc.local -
echo 6 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
you can enter it manually to test first (as root). Try to turn your brightness up and down with it to make sure it works.
My fan ran like crazy too. HP chose to default a BIOS setting that keeps the fan running constantly. I disabled that and all is well. Fan only comes on when needed and lm_sensors shows my temps, right now, at 43C. Ambient is at 77F right now (I'm in Florida) and this kick butt Arch laptop is, in fact, on my lap.....
Don't give up man.
First of all: thanks for replying.
I installed manually the "coretemp" kernel modules and lm-sensors now give some different response. The script "sensors-detect" does not find any answer.
Looks like the temperature run in a regular level (50º-60º), which I consider a good sign. However, sometimes when I use arch for 24h+, it shuts down suddenly and does not let me boot my computer again - I believe it is a overheating problem. Happened a couple times, big no big deal.
On the other hand, in Windows 7 I have no trouble at all. The temperature goes around 40º with some daily activities. It worries me out because I used - and I do use - largely and successfully Arch i686 version in crappy notebooks with no heating at all.
I tried some tweaks in the rc.local, but none of them seemed to really work. With cpufreq, I could slow down the processors and maintain a regular temperature. Looks like I can list some of the fans speed in the /sys/ files, but much of them do not seem to have any change at all. Some of them looks like to have some "max_state" set to low values like 1, but most do have a limit like 10.
I will keep trying. If there's anything new, I'll post here

Wilson

FCE shuts down when I import Live Type

I have imported titles from Live Type into Final Cut Express before and have never had a problem until now. I recently purchased Jaguar and successfully downloaded the software, but since I've done that, when I import a title from Live Type, FCE shuts down. I'm not sure if Jaguar has anything to do with it, but that's when it started happening. Can someone help me out?

Look at this link below:

Text Moving Down in Live View

I've been working in Dreamweaver on a project and I've run into a problem with some text. Every time I go into live view, it moves down a few pixels, but in non-live view it appears correctly. I've tested it in Chrome and Firefox, too, and the text still moves down. I can't seem to get it to be still.
Here's my code -
HTML:
    <div id="contactBar">
    <div id="contactText">
      <h2>Contact us today at 417-522-4467</h2>
    </div>
</div>
CSS:
#contactBar {
    width:1024px;
    height:77px;
    background-color:#004683;
    position:absolute;
    margin-top:545px;
    color:#FFF;
    text-align:center;
#contactText {
    width:auto;
    height:auto;
    margin-left:auto;
    margin-right:auto;
#contactText h2 {
    font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size:38px;
    font-weight:normal;
Can someone please tell me why this is happening and how to fix it? I'd appreciate it.

Because all headers have margins, paddings and even "transparent" borders. You can reset these by putting the following CSS code at the top of your CSS file after any body and html css you might have:
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    border: 0;
The above code simply resets all "possible" headings in your page to zero so you can now start from base zero.
Hope this helps.
