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.

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.

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.

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

Why does BC show that I need to buy live hosting when I should get 5 free from CC?

I bought CC earlier today and BC still shows that I need to buy live hosting. Why?

Hey there,
Reach out to BC support on this. It probably is to do with if you tried to use Adobe BC before with a different Adobe ID etc. There are some FAQ's in the FAQ section on this I believe. But if you reach out to support I am sure they can fix that up for you.

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 based hosting company

Alright, not to get your hopes up or anything, none exist that I know of.
I'm mulling around the idea of starting one though. If someone's going to provide Arch Linux hosting, it should be someone who knows Arch, right? Someone who can offer quality support.
The technology behind it would be essentially virtual hosting. You'd have your own user mode linux session, root acces and all, to do with as you please. With the current hosting provider that I'm looking at, you wouldn't be able to host an irc server, any illegal material, or send spam, but just about anything else goes.
I'd be able to make other distros available for use as well (fedora, suse, debian, etc... not gentoo because of the cpu requirements).
I'm not sure about pricing schemes yet, but they would be comparable to other virtual hosting sites (http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/uses.html).
The one drawback of virtual hosting is that you share the resources, specifically processor. This means you wouldn't be able to run any cpu intensive applications for extended periods of time.
There is also the option of web hosting and things like that, where you wouldn't need root access.
Anyway, at this point, I'm wondering who would be interested in a service like this. Do enough people yearn for their very own Arch Linux server but aren't allowed to have one because they have dialup/consumer adsl or cable? Do enough people have clients they develop software for (in archlinux, obviously) that wouldn't mind having a production environment that was also arch? If you think you'd actually use something like this, speak up.

All depending on the cost, I'd love to see it.
I have a couple of prjects planned out, I just can't afford it at the moment.
But if I were to carry them out, I'd love for it to be on an Archlinux server.

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

[SOLVED] Booting windows 7 kills Arch

Hi,
I'm dual booting Arch with windows 7 and recently when I boot windows 7, I can't boot Arch afterwards.
After I shutdown windows, I start up my laptop again, I get the grub menu and select Arch. During boot I get a lot of output during the file system check ( I think, it's hard to see because it goes to fast; ) and then Arch freezes. The only thing that I can do is a force shut down with the power button. I boot again and launch the Arch Fallback kernel. That one is then able to boot but freezes when kdm is launched: I get the login screen for tty 1 but when the graphical login managers fires up I only get a black screen and everything freezes ( can't switch to a terminal or use ctrl+alt+backspace ). I have to force shutdown with the power button again. I boot up again, select the Fallback kernel again and everything works fine. After that I can boot with the normal Arch kernel without a problem.
Is there a way to log the output on the screen during boot up ? I've searched the logs in /var/log/ but can't find that output.
This only happens since yesterday. I was looking for CPU scaling modules and loaded the powernow-k8 module according to the wiki. The power manager of KDE needed additional modules, KDE loaded the modules itself and I put all the modules in /etc/rc.conf. Strange thing is that I also lost my wifi yesterday and it still doesn't work, not on Arch nor Windows ( Wired internet does work on both ).
While checking the the daemon.log I found this, don't know if it's really helpfull:

I had windows vista and windows 7 in dual boot with Mandriva linux for a year without any problem and right now I have absolutely no idea what's going on.
EDIT:
Tried it again to see if I could get some more information.
Apparently the first time I boot Arch after a windows boot, it doesn't really freeze. I tried to write down some of the output and after a while it continued for a second and stopped again and this went going on and on. It seems like it keeps looping the same output. I waited some more but I had to force shut down because my laptop was going nuts and overheating, it started to smell like burned electronics...
I was able to capture some of the output:
--[end trace 27ebd855... ]---
Call trace
[<ffffffff8117c420>] ? proc_lookup_de+0x20/0x100
[<ffffffff81009ec2>] ? system_call_fastpath
Code ff .. .. .. and a lot more of pairs of letters and numbers
The output at the beginning was to fast to see but the Call trace and Code kept on repeating.
After this I could boot up the Fallback kernel without a problem, kdm worked fine to, then rebooted using the normal kernel image like nothing happened before.
Any help would be appreciated,
Varg

Well since it worked fine first it could only be the powernow-k8 module or the CPU scaling modules required by KDE. I'll check it out and report back.
EDIT:
Narrowed it down to the cpufreq_powersave and cpufreq_userspace modules. Powernow-k8, cpufreq_stats and cpufreq_ondemand work fine.
I disabled all the modules and then turned them back on one by one in rc.conf ( booting w7 everytime ). cpufreq_powersave turned on gave the strange output during boot but only a short version but completely ran down X or kdm after boot. With cpufreq_userspace I could boot but KDE froze right after login. Combination of the two modules resulted in being unable to boot.
Loading the modules after boot while running KDE gives no problem and since I'm a laptop user I could use the powersave module. I'll see if I can make KDE load that module automatically after login.
Thanks a lot for the tip !

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!

You can try nomodeset. Seems to be a failure in loading a driver for your hardware. To read more on similar issues, there's a few posts with more info and suggestions by googling it.

Thanks! I tried googling it myself but got mostly answers that didn't work. I'll try this!

[SOLVED] VirtualBox: Arch Linux host unable to reach guest over NA...

Hello everyone,
I recently installed VirtualBox on my Arch Linux install to tinker with GitLab on a Debian VM. I've set up a standard VM running Debian (wheezy) and made sure it's network settings were set to "NAT". However, I am unable to ping or ssh to this VM (which is running an ssh server among other things). Where this gets a bit weirder is that I'm perfectly able to ping and ssh to my host machine (running Arch).
I installed the version of VirtualBox available on the official repos and I'm running on the default kernel too.
I've install VirutalBox by following the infos posted on the wiki. My current user is part of the vboxusers group :
% groups duane
disk lp wheel uucp locate rfkill games network video audio optical floppy storage scanner power users vboxusers
I've added the proper kernel modules to /etc/modules-load.d/virtualbox.conf so that they are loaded automatically on boot time :
vboxdrv
vboxnetadp
vboxnetflt
vboxpci
% lsmod | grep vbox
vboxpci 14581 0
vboxnetflt 17612 0
vboxnetadp 18355 0
vboxdrv 264794 5 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt,vboxpci
I must also note that the net-tools package is installed.
Now, I get the ip adress of my host :
% ip addr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

3: wlp4s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 5c:ac:4c:09:d3:f3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::5eac:4cff:fe09:d3f3/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
Then I try to ping it from my Debian guest.
user@debian:~% ping 192.168.1.22 -c 3

Now I get the ip adress of my guest :

And I try to ping my guest from my host :
% ping 10.0.2.15 -c 3
PING 10.0.2.15 (10.0.2.15) 56(84) bytes of data.
--- 10.0.2.15 ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 2007ms
There. I hope I didn't give too much information.
I don't really understand what's going on there, usually that workfow works immediately in all the distributions I tried before, and on windows as well. I think I followed all the steps to make this work and yet it doesn't, and I'm not sure this problem is related to VirtualBox itself.
Thanks in advance for any tip or comment on that.

What I do for all my VB guest VM's is to set 2 network interfaces, one the normal (default) NAT, and the other a host-only interface. That way your guests are completely hidden from the local lan which may be desirable if e.g., your host is a laptop which you move around various places. The guests can access anything outbound and you can still ssh to them from the host (and also, using ssh ProxyCommand via that host if you want to access them remotely).

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

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.

1. Stop bumping this thread: learn to use the edit button.
2. What video card is in your machine?
3. Add the relevant module to your mkinitcpio.conf to start early KMS
4. There is nothing wrong with Arch, except the number of people that want to use it without reading any of the documentation.
1. Intel GMA 3600 with Atom N2600 - Acer AOD 270.
3. My driver is iinstalled, it is something wrong not with it because it stops during boot after checking of root partition in text mode with nomodesert in kernel parameter. Also, the same thing happens on live usb with iso from november, but iso from june works, boots but than upgrades all of it and installation fails to boot,
4. Well, i could debate, i read a lot cause i like it, and in fact there are errors in documentation, for an example: related to installing nvidia driver, xorg.conf and 20-nvidia.conf.
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.
