New Arch Linux Schwag offerings: Speakers and Notepaper

It's been a while since anything exciting has happened in the Arch Linux Schwag shops. Laptop stickers seem to be the most popular offering. I'm having trouble getting rid of Arch Linux Pens so they've been discounted to below cost.
New today are a couple offerings in the Arch Linux Zazzle Schwag store:
Arch Linux Speakers
Arch Linux note paper
Hope you enjoy the new schwag!

That's Acecero's contribution, as he implies. :-)
Also, there's a typo in the handbook's headline: "A simple lightweight Linuk handbook."
Yeah, I know... sadly, I didn't notice it until it was too late to change (the book was set up for publication).  Now I have to wait for a new edition, or pay $40 to put one out now.

I'm hoping to sell between 10 and 50 copies of this edition to pay for the upfront costs before making a new edition.  The more popular it is, the more likely I will be to keep it up to date.
BTW, if anyone is interested in doing cover art for the second edition, get in touch with me.  I've been told that this cover looks like ass (it was gently, with links to tutorials on design :-D)

  • Announcing some new Arch Linux Schwag offerings

    Hey All,
    I wanted to introduce you to some new Arch Linux Schwag offerings I've been cooking up over the past little while.
    I'm currently sold out of case badges, and Simo has faithfully shipped his last order.  I'm trying to think of a way to compensate him, he's done so much work for me on the shipping front and all I ever offered him was dinner, (granted, he's a starving student, and dinner was hopefully much appreciated).  When I reorder stickers, probably in the new year, I will be shipping them myself, from Canada, so domestic prices will be a touch higher.
    Now, onwards to Schwag:
    It's no secret that I'm the odd man out on the tacos vs poutine debate.  I know you all will come around to my way of thinking eventually, but in the meantime, check out the new schwag where you can proudly pick your piece.  I've also added a few other new t-shirt design, mostly as your suggestions.  Check out the new products line at zazzle to place your order:
    http://www.zazzle.com/archlinux/gifts?c … 1284817680
    I think most of you know about the laptop bags, jewellery, and case badges (currently out of stock) selling at: http://schwag.archlinux.ca/
    I've added a few handmade items of my own invention to the mix, including wooden and soapstone sculptures, keychains, and coasters, all featuring our favourite distro's logo:
    http://schwag.archlinux.ca/product/coaster/
    http://schwag.archlinux.ca/product/soapstone_sculpture/
    http://schwag.archlinux.ca/product/sculpture/
    http://schwag.archlinux.ca/product/keychain/
    I'm particularly proud of the soapstone sculptures, they look incredible.  I'm not sure I can give them up.  The keychains will also make great stocking stuffers this Christmas season, so remind your friends to shop Arch Schwag!
    In addition, I would like to announce a preview of the Arch Linux Handbook.  This should be retailing in a couple weeks, and will be available from both CreateSpace and Amazon.com.  The handbook is basically a quick restyling of the epic beginner's guide in the wiki.  You can preview it here:
    https://www.createspace.com/3398103
    That's all for now!

  • New Arch Linux review

    Arch Linux: The Simple, Flexible (and Fast!) Distro http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7469/1.html.
    Good review.

    Reading it right now
    Arch seems to get a lot of attention lately!
    I still find linux-mag.com's articles more often then not boring... It seems like a 15 yo blog, not the high quality publication of before. But then, now its free
    Edit: After 2 paragraph, they can't even link to the website: http://www.archlnux.org/ instead of http://www.archlinux.org/ ...
    Edit: Still a nice article that talks about Arch general terms. It should give Arch more visibility!

  • [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 ;-)

    I played a bit with usplash today, but it seems that only 4:3 images are supported AND images can't have more than 256 colors. You have to mess with C Source Files to change text and background colors (by picking an index of the 256 color palette)...remembers me of making grub splashs (only  16 colors ). Because of the 256 colors gradients won't work well and I think I stick with gensplash until usplash has improved more. On the other hand usplash with my wallpaper looks not too bad

  • [SOLVED]New Arch Linux ISO Installation Help.

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

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

  • Arch Linux 32x64 bits, Developers and Window Managers Support

    Greetings!
    After having some time issues due to college that prevented me from this, I wish to have again a rolling-release distro in my computer.
    I was in the past a big fan of Gentoo, but now it seems too much work to compile everything from scratch. Also they seemed to have some issues with the developers - the original developer if I understood correctly has quit the project, others were forced to quit due to misbehavior, etc. - and maybe due to some other facts their popularity on distrowatch dropped drastically.
    Then this year I've tried Debian Testing... My goodness, that was messy. Tons and tons of bugs on XFCE, like thunar hanging on load and displaying error messages, gedit not removing the ~lock files properly on close, so I had the myfile and ~myfile, and many others. Really, I gave up.
    I wish to give Arch Linux I try then. Of course that would be quite stupid to ask if arch linux is the best choice in an arch linux forum, but there are some key points that if you could answer would help me a lot to give it a try:
    1. 32x64
    "Should I use 32-bit or 64-bit?" is NOT the intended question. Many still prefer 32-bit-pae on a 64-bit capable machine, others prefer 64-bit. I wish to use 64-bit. Made my mind. But I would like to know if the support of 64-bit on Arch Linux is as good as 32-bit and if it comes by default with cross-libs which makes me able to run 32-bit applications natively right out of the box,
    2. Developers
    About how many and what's their relation with the users? When I've googled for Arch Linux, I've had found a review video on youtube where some guy said in the comments that developer's mind changed a lot in the past 2 years and they introduced many buggy packages that required manual workaround. At the end of his comments, he said "Sympathy? Apologies for the ****? Nope. blame the user for trusting 'pacman -Syu'" Surely I don't know which are these options because I haven't read about pacman yet (just know it's the default package manager) but you get the idea.
    Another key question: Is Arch Linux hiring new developers over the time? Replacing the ones that leaves for the many reasons?
    3. Window Managers Support
    With Gnome3's overall rejection (including mine), we have only two options: Switch to KDE or try other Window Managers. I still wish to have faith on gtk, so the first option is still not considered by me. I don't wish to know "which one is the best", because that's another large discussion just as the 32-bit x 64-bit. Just how good is Arch's support (updated constantly? bug-fixes?) on:
    - XFCE
    - MATE
    - Cinnamon
    (Of course there are others like LXDE, Enlightenment, etc. but I've decided to narrow down to XFCE even having quite bad experiences on Debian Testing.)
    4. Package Manager
    Last, being a rolling-release dist, can I add an option for a specific package to install a specific older version and/or not upgrade when you tell the dist. to upgrade everything? I remember that back on Gentoo I could edit a text file and just type the version of the package I wished to keep and the "update everything" option wouldn't touch the package (worked also to try new versions that were still not stable enough).
    Any replies will be very appreciated. Sorry for the long post.
    Best regards.

    I'll start at the end with #4.  Of course on the arch forums you will get people who are biased towards liking arch - but I think if you ask in other communities you will regularly hear that arch's package management system is its greatest strength.  Pacman is the primary tool for this, but we also have makepkg for things in the Arch User Repository (AUR), and the Arch Build System (ABS) to recompile anything from the main repos with additional/alternate compilation options.
    But for your direct question, there is an option to only upgrade to a particular version of a given package.  There is an option in pacman's configuration file for just this purpose.  However depending on what the package is, this could lead to problems.  Users are discouraged from updating most of their system while keeping some older packages - This can lead to issues with shared dependencies.  Of course if you build the package from source (AUR or ABS) yourself, such issues would be easy to resolve.  Is there a certain package you know you'd want to keep at an older version?  If you tell us what it is, we can give more specific information on how easy/hard it would be to accomplish.
    #3: Arch is a DIY distro.  You choose whatever window manager / DE you want.  I can vouche for XFCE working wonderfully in arch.  There are also numerous archers who use mate and cinnamon.  I have heard of some problems, but (AFAIK) these have nothing to do with compatibility with arch, rather these are due to upstream issues.  In other words, cinnamon, mate, xfce, or any other WM should work just as well on arch as on any other distro.  I'd bet our wiki for installing and configuring those WMs are better than those of the distros that bundle the WM with the core install.  (In addition to package management, you will find the arch wiki is second to none).
    #2: I can't answer with any specifics - other than to say they continue to do an excellent job.  I am not surprised by the youtube video - not because I'd agree with it, quite the opposite.  But as arch is a DIY distro it puts some responsibility on the user to maintain their own system.  If one is not prepared for nor willing to do this, they often become frustrated and end up blaming someone else.  Often this is the developers, sometimes it is the forum moderators, other times it is the whole arch community.  In every case these accusations are absurd.  Your questions on replacement of developers is a good question though - there is a history page on the wiki which might give some insight on this, but I suspect others will have better input on this.
    #1: I use i686 (32bit) on two of my computers and it works perfectly.  It sounds, however, that a majority of the community uses 64bit (which I just updated to on one of my computers).  My 64bit system works perfectly as well, but I don't have any 32bit-only apps.  Occasionally there are forum threads about some issue or another with "multilib" applications which are 32bit programs run in a 64bit system.  Generally these threads seem to be resolved without much hassle.  You can search for some of them yourself: Skype seems to be a common topic of such issues.
    All in all, I'd reiterate arch's strengths in it's package management and wiki/documentation.  Potential weaknesses could be found by users who are unwilling or unable to take responsibility for their own system.  I word this is a bit biased manner - there are many people who have no interest in being responsible for maintaining their own system, a majority of all computer users would fall into this category; most of them would be quite unhappy with arch linux.  If you were happy with gentoo in the past and only want to avoid constant recompiling then you probably would be one who could be very happy with arch.
    Or an even shorter summary: try it out.  If you don't like it, switch.

  • Arch Linux won't boot (and Linux in general)

    Hello everyone,
    I've been having this problem for about 3 days now. I finally made an account and post the problem since I can't find a solution (I solved most of my past problems by searching forums and googling so I had never posted before).
    So, I was installing Arch linux and Windows 7 on my machine (eee pc 1201t) but had problems booting into linux. First I installed Windows and it worked fine, then I installed Arch linux (this isn't my first time) and rebooted after finishing the installation. But my laptop just won't boot. It just displayed a blinking cursor on the top left of the screen. No error messages whatsoever. It was my first time encountering the problem so I thought reinstalling would do the trick. But it didn't. So I started researching on the same problems on google and discovered that it could be either a HD problem or corrupted MBR or some other problem. My drive works fine, since I can copy data onto it using a live cd (Ubuntu) and Windows works fine with it.
    I'm thinking of using "dd" command on my drive and repair the MBR. I would like to know if you guys have encountered the same problem before and what kind of solution you applied.
    Note: I also tried installing Ubuntu on my machine but the result was the same.

    ngoonee wrote:Live CD, setup grub again, and profit?
    I tried this first, had no luck or maybe I wasn't doing it right.
    nixpunk wrote:So are you booting into windows using grub or just ntldr?
    My laptop boots using ntldr only. Grub does not seem to work. I tried installing Arch and Ubuntu but I had the same result (blinking cursor on the top left of the screen).
    schuay wrote:As always with boot problems, you will need to provide some more data about your setup. Output of 'df -h', contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst, install location of grub, etc. Without that, other people can only make guesses about the possible solution
    I'll keep that in mind. Sorry for the lack of details regarding my problem. I will try to add as much information as I can the next time I post.
    Anyway, I think I solved the problem. I zeroed the MBR on my HD by issuing the command "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 and grub installed just fine. Thanks for the reply everyone.

  • Securing Arch Linux by Scrubbing SUIDs and SGIDs

    First Question: How many of these should NOT be SUID or SGID "out of the box" (i.e., on installation of Arch Linux)?
    Second Question: What are some good approaches to reducing the use of SUIDs and SGIDs?
    My approaches are: (a) deleting executables/packages that I actually don't use (for example, I will remove executables/packages I don't ever use or plan to use such as /opt/kde/bin/kppp); (b) removing the SUID or SGID bit on some of the executables.
    My concern is less with approach (a) than with (b). Which of these executables MUST be SUID or SGID to work properly?
    Regards,
    Win

    Win wrote: Which of these executables MUST be SUID or SGID to work properly?
    Probably almost all of them need to be SUID to work properly from a user account. Such programs have to access root files, usually.
    However, if you never use a particular program as user, it need not be SUID (this is usage dependent).

    aww.
    well you are all welcome to poke your nose in at #witchlinux on irc.freenode.net , it's still alive, n welcomes everyone else's input.
    there's the arch rowan witch release, a half made archiso, which is basically to be pretty much the same as where the debian rowan witch.iso left off, and then later once it's built to some reasonably satasfactory standard, a larger fuller witch called jamella is planned to feature loads of tiling window managers, xmonad of course included, as well as awesome, and others, as well as a raft of programmer tools n toys, and then later a refined sleak but complete witch after that.   so goes my plan anyways, but of course, anyone can run off n make their own witch, and are encouraged to do so.    so if u want a preconfigured arch with xmonad, once we get rowan out of the stalls, jamella will soon follow after.   (i been distracted with other interests this past month or so tho, so my contributions dropping off have slowed things, but it's still alive, i assure you.)
    or....
    to stop me going on about witch... tidos could be revived!  XD
    and i wish you all the best with that.

    It is amazing the effect that you've achieved with arch's logo. I was thinking some days ago if it would be possible to change the unpolished perspective of the official logo at arch's home page.
    I wonder if you hadn't proposed this well proportioned, clear, and good angled image as the new official logo.
    Arch is one of the best distros so you deserve double grats.
    I hope to see more of your artwork soon. I drink to make other people interesting.
    goood fresh

    Btw. Im a noobie in 3D world ^^
    Well, I'm in a similiar situation atm. I used cinema4D a few years ago but stopped mainly because of my switch to linux.
    I didn't want to use c4d under wine (and was unable to start it with recent wine version anyway..) and was kind of scared by blenders UI.
    After reading a few tutorials my fear is gone and I start to enjoy using blender

  • Arch Linux Schwag Zazzle International Sites

    Hey all,
    There have been a few complaints about shipping from Zazzle's US site. I just noticed, and I have no idea how long this has been available, that there are now several international sites that you can order from:
    http://www.zazzle.com/archlinux* in the USA
    http://www.zazzle.ca/archlinux* in Canada
    http://www.zazzle.com.au/archlinux* in Australia
    http://www.zazzle.co.nz/archlinux* in New Zealand
    http://www.zazzle.co.uk/archlinux* in the UK (or other European orders)
    http://www.zazzle.de/archlinux* in Germany (or other European orders)
    I hope these may be useful to people considering ordering Arch Schwag. For the other schwag at:
    http://schwag.archlinux.ca/
    Most items are shipped from Canada. All Jewellery is shipped from Germany, and the laptop bags are shipped from the USA.
    Dusty

    I think those sites are jokes. At least the german one is translated by a bot; some links are dead.

  • Arch Linux cheat sheet [PDF and ODG]

    Hi, as far as I know, I already turn two Windows users to Arch, so I was thinking that would be nice to have a simple cheat sheet to help new users quickly.
    Somethings maybe wrong and thats why I'm asking for help and contributions. Many new things I wasn't aware (like the new "No xorg.conf" philosophy, the departure of hwd and many other new things), I've been using Arch for almost two and a half years, so I even haven't tried the new Installation Framework (hopefully tomorrow a friend will install Arch, so I will have a chance). Many other errors must be in the grammar, I'm pretty lousy at English as you can see.  And finally, maybe I just forgot something you may think that should be in the cheat sheet or something I put, but in the wrong way.
    Anyway, hope somebody find it useful or like to help, the link is: http://elzoona.com.ar/archcheatsheet
    P.S.: The PDF was made using OpenOffice Draw, but, after many years, I still can't use offimatic software, so If anybody knows a better option please tell me (if you download the ODG will see that indentation was done with four spaces...).

    Typos fixed.

    Yeah, could it be. My attempt was to give a quick reference for common commands, to avoid reading all the man page when you only can't remeber wich one was the, i.e., --foreign switch. But encourage to read a lot more by giving the "pacman -[Q|R...] --help" section. The whole idea of the cheat sheet it's to remind a simple command you know that exists but can't remember the name or a specific switch. Anyhow, to include the "look for man pages, they still exists" could be an excellent idea (you know, this times when everything is a wiki or a search button away) because reading trough man pages provide a lot of knowledge.
    Xyne wrote:Perhaps an "important man pages" section would convey this. You could include pacman, pacman.conf and makepkg to start with.
    Damn, I knew it! I forgot to include a single reference to makepkg command.
    EDIT: Included a "useful man pages" at the end of some sections and 100% more advices for free! :-).
