Unicode Character Resembling the Logo of Arch Linux?

I would like to find a Unicode character that looks like the logo of Arch to decorate the terminal.
The best I've found is ᐱ, but I wonder if there is a better candidate.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes, I think that could be useful. Any more information please?
Just use one of the proposed fonts. Otherwise you could extract the logo from the black arch svg, upload it to icomoon.io and create your own font with an arch logo glyph.

    What are the benefits of arch linux ?
    default package management /software installation tool .

    This posts fits perfect with my last 2 days xD
    Cause a fan problem with arch, I tried to come back in a third partition to Debian. But 1 year and a half with arch makes me impossible to come back to debian because arch owns Debian in lots of ways (package management simplicity and filesystem structure, including this website, maybe the most important detail of this distribution, all info is on this page).
    However, Debian's aptitude is extremely faster than pacman, that is the strongest point of Debian in front of Arch. Also I miss a detail on arch that I find indispensable: ICEWEASEL!
    Can anyone get a package for archlinux of Iceweasel for me? I prefer weasels than foxs xD
    Serious conclusion: Arch is better than Debian for me for the simplicity (pacman is simplier, the rc.conf file is a present of God, and this centralized and simple forum, the aur repository, the extremely great wiki (maybe gentoo wiki is a bit better) and the good organization of the homepage of archlinux.org makes this distribution for me the best for my purposes).
    Now I believe I have to say something to you:
    Thank you very much to all people that make possible this distribution, users, developers, etc...

  • Crux Linux : the origins of Arch Linux?

    So in this awesome linux timeline I found that Arch Linux was a fork from Crux Linux... now I dont have any idea how was Crux Linux, because I never tried it, I think the distro never was very popular, so I was wondering if someone would explain how was the origins of Arch Linux and its relation with Crux Linux
    Last edited by delphinen (2007-01-30 03:22:08)

    I've used Crux before I ever heard about Arch........It's not too bad, just that it's a one-man show with a gathering of faithful users.........Per Liden, the author and developer of Crux, was not interested in pleasing the general public, which is why it never became popular............He just developed it mainly for his personal tastes and anyone who wanted to use his selection was free to do so, and can make any other pkgs they want with the 'pkgmk' script..........Today, Per is retired from from Crux development and handed it over to a core team......
    @Husio
    Anyway, if you don't use abs/aur you won't like CRUX becouse there's only some base packages.
    Not entirely true........The official pkgs are contained in three separate repositories - core, opt, and contrib - and "opt" and "contib" contain quite a few packages......
    Then there's a lot of community-based user repos, usually named after the person who is sharing it to the others.........You can see who the maintainers are in the 'Maintainer' column of that repository link above.......Although now I see there are a few more categories maintained at the main ports database, while the rest are maintianed at each individual's site.........I suppose more changes will happen, now that Per has "retired"....... ;-)
    If I was to compare it to Arch, today, I would give Arch a higher rating......Arch has come a long way in the last few years, and is, IMHO, ahead of Crux in maintainability..........I've always been a devoted Slackware user, for the most part, and have tried a few other distros (including Arch) in the past, but always went back to Slack.........However, currently I'm switching to Arch as my desktop distro of choice because it's at the point I consider it better, overall, than Slack (which, to me, is saying a lot about how far along Arch has come)...... :-D

  • About the future of Arch Linux Newsletter.

    Hi,
    As you may have noticed, I have taken the job to make the Arch Linux weekly newsletter a possibility again. I the time I've been doing them, we speak of about 3 weeks, I have enjoyed writing them and have received very positive comments from the community that reads them. I would like to thank all of you personally for the support, you are the community and yours are the newsletter. But, as you all may have noticed the newsletter has been in an unchanged format for quite a long time. I mean, I just added the Humor section thats all, I know there is an email address to which you can all write your suggestions to, but I find people communicate and express themselves better on the forums.
    So what I will ask of you, dear readers, suggestions of sections I should add/remove/edit, I will appreciate your constructive criticism in general. Express your thoughts in this thread to help me make a better more quality newsletter.
    In other news, the newsletter won't be weekly no more, as Jason Chu and I have talked about, is easier to maintain a 2 time a month newsletter than 4 times a month, also the Arch Linux Developers/Community doesn't make that much noise as the other major distributions, we tend to be a bit quieter. The bright side is, the newsletter will be written with more time at hand, more stuff to write about, and will contribute to a better quality overall.
    What has been suggested so far and I will work out on the next issue of the newsletter?
    * Change the Bugs stats to not reflect the overall percentage but the actual bugs opened and closed that week.
    As Roman Kyrylych points out: "They show a summary of status field "Progress" in open reports, but in 99% this field goes straight from 0% to 100%, so the overall number is always very low and doesn't really show anything".
    So I wait for your suggestions as well.;)

    Hi again,
    I ask for your opinion again on the subject of the stats section in the newsletter, Do you find this an important part that should stay there?
    I mean, this is going to be the most tedious, time-taking and in my opinion useless section I will have to write for the newsletter. I do want to bring a high quality newsletter but I feel this part doesn't contribute to the quality of the newsletter at all, Why?
    * Newsletters that include this section are mostly from distributions that has point releases and not rolling releases.
    * The number will always increase with minimum decrease because as a rolling release system Arch Linux is every package keep being updated everyday to newer versions, opening and closing more bugs by itself.
    * People might not be interested in how many bugs are and how many are closed every week, since this numbers aren't even provided on the bug system itself.
    Please give this a consideration and tell me your opinions.

  • The Best Of Arch Linux CD Compilation!

    I made this for fun while testing an Arch package.  Here is a pdf if you want to print it.  It should be scaled properly to print and fit a CD jewel case.  Anyone have any other titles they would like to see

    It looks like you just copied and pasted an IRC chat log. Very cool.
    You're missing: "no man, I love flux" and "no,I use XFCE4, its like GNOME, but doesn't crash"(how many times have I said that?)
    You got the devfs one though. 

  • How do I configure the network in arch linux in virtuabox 3.0? I have

    I think ifconfig says I have an ip address, but for some reason, pacman -Sy keeps failing to resolve the address. All I have installed now is the base system; I haven't been able to install any graphical environment yet because I can't download anything from the repository. Any help here? I really need this working!

    I had this problem also. A quick fix is to go to network settings under the arch virtual machine entry, and select bridged adapter instead of NAT. That should fix everything up

  • Arch Linux Logo Contest: Discussion of logo concepts

    Okay, so this time let's get it right, shall we?
    This thread continues the discussion that was going on in the other thread.
    Some notes before things start to look ugly:
    * you may comment on any of the logos already submitted to Travis[1], or any of the artwork in the artwork collector thread[2].
    * you may post your opinion whether technical or non-technical, or simply state 'I (don't) like this or that'.
    * you may discuss the matter of Arch Linux branding as well, but it is depreciated; open a new thread if you think that is important
    * keep in mind that people might find negative comments offensive, so please formulate them precisely and mark all your personal opinions as such.
    * if you have reason to believe comments coming from members of this community are highly biased or inappropriate, please do NOT reply publicly, report the post to moderators and admins
    Discussions in this thread may only touch on the actual logos, and "we don't need a logo chage" type of rant is depreciated. However, you may post anything logo-related if you can make a good point.

  • How to get the hex. value of unicode character

    Hi all
    I would like to get the hex. value of unicode and vice versa. I tried
    String name1 = new String(request.getParameter("textfield").getBytes("ISO8859_1"), "UTF-8");
    but it just get the unicode character, not the "hex value"
    pls help
    thx.
    Regards,
    Kin

    String str = "asdf";
    char c = str.charAt(0);
    System.out.println(Integer.toString((int)c, 16));
    Is that what you want? Or are you thinking "hex value" is something it's not, which is just a way of writing numbers in base-16.

  • [SOLVED] 3d Acceleration on Arch Linux guest

    I've just installed the latest FTP Arch Linux (2009.02) as a Guest running in Virtual Box 3.0.2 in my Windows 7 host, and I cannot get Xorg working at all.
    - 3D Acceleration is enabled for the VM, and 128MB of video memory allocated
    - Guest Additions were installed successfully, added rc.vboxadd to daemons, and everything loads ok on startup.
    Output of 'dmesg | grep vbox':
    vboxadd: Successfully loaded version 3.0.2 (interface 0x0010004)
    vboxvfs: Successfully loaded version 3.0.2 (interface 0x0010004)
    [drm] Initialized vboxvideo 1.0.0 20090303 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 0
    Here is my .xinitrc:
    /usr/bin/VBoxClient-all
    I've symlinked vboxvideo_dri.so since the installer didn't do it.
    Output of 'ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/vboxvideo_dri.so':
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2009-07-31 22:42 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/vboxvideo_dri.so -> /usr/lib/VBoxOGL.so
    And error when I run 'startx':
    (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/vboxvideo_dri.so failed (libXcomposite.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
    (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
    waiting for X server to shut down
    And then it shuts down, without even trying to load swrast_dri.so. But the weirdest part is, that symlink exists, but X is saying it doesn't! I've restarted the VM and still get the same error.
    Here is my xorg.conf (created by installing GA), and I do have HAL up and running, loaded before the rc.vboxadd daemon:
    # Default xorg.conf for Xorg 1.5+ without PCI_TXT_IDS_PATH enabled.
    # This file was created by VirtualBox Additions installer as it
    # was unable to find any existing configuration file for X.
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "VirtualBox Video Card"
    Driver "vboxvideo"
    EndSection
    So... what next?

    Silly me, I forgot the libxcomposite package. I guess I should read the errors closer.
    Anyway, I'm still getting an error (signal 11) being caused by VBoxClient-all. Here is my Xorg.0.log:

  • Is there an Arch Linux equivalent of debconf?

    I have a debian based configuration that I roll out to clients using a scripted installation.  Essentially, the base system is imaged onto the box (currently RaspberryPi) then my script and an archive containing extra files I want to push is copied to the card.  The script runs and performs some automated tasks like downloading firmware, updating/upgrading packages and then installing the packages I need.  For some packages (e.g. mysql and phpmyadmin), I use debconf in order to set the answers to the installation questions  - this allows a completely unattended installation.  This script also works on a regular Debian system - I can pass parameters to switch off functionality that isn't required on a desktop (e.g. the RPi firmware update or HostAPD installation) and the same script can commission a dev environment for me to work on.
    I'm now looking to support other SBCs like the HummingBoard or perhaps the BananaPi which means I need to consider a platform that would work universally across any platform.  So, I am looking at the feasibility of Arch Linux.  From what I have read, it would probably suit my needs a lot better as it starts off as a very minimal installation.  However I'm struggling to find a definitive alternative to debconf for performing my unattended installation.
    My less preferred option would be to build an image by hand and then script the package updates, but this would put me in the realms of having to maintain images for each platform I end up supporting rather than having a script that would build the config on any supported system with latest packages.

    There is interaction:
    * you may be be prompted to OK removing package A and installing package B - happens when renaming packages via package conflicts e.g.
    :: lzo2 and lzo are in conflict. Remove lzo? [y/N]
    * you are asked to pick packages from a group or which one of the packages providing the thing you want to install, e.g. when installing libgl or phonon
    $ sudo pacman -S phonon
    resolving dependencies...
    :: There are 2 providers available for phonon-qt4-backend:
    :: Repository extra
    1) phonon-qt4-gstreamer 2) phonon-qt4-vlc

  • Arch Linux Handbook 2.0

    Hey all,
    I'd like to announce the freshly minted Arch Linux Handbook 2.0, available from the estore here:
    https://www.createspace.com/3482247
    It should be showing up in Amazon stores within a few weeks, and you'll be able to order it from your favourite brick and mortar store after a month or two.
    Nearly 400 copies of the first handbook were sold. This one is more up to date with a fancy cover, more pages, and prettier interior. The Arch Linux Handbook is simply a print edition of the Beginners' Guide, which has seen a few hundred revisions since the first edition went to print. So it was time for an update, and here it is!
    I would like to extend a huge thank you to both Jules Pitsker (Misfit) and Branko Vukelic (foxbunny). Jules is the motivating force and primary maintainer behind the online Beginners' Guide. His tireless and thankless contributions have turned it into the exceptionally well-written and comprehensive document that it is. Branko is the best designer I know, both for print and web based materials. He did a terrific job on this handbook cover.

    Thank you Dusty.  I appreciate your handbook, it played a role in converting me to ArchLinux.
    It was important to me to see that there is printed documentation for any linux distro I use.
    ArchLinux passed the test because of you.
    I bought a copy of your first edition and reviewed it on Amazon.  As soon as the second edition
    shows up on Amazon I'll buy a copy and give it another review.  I'm sure that I'll be able to say
    that it is greatly enhanced and everyone should certainly own a copy.
    Every Archer **should** own a copy
    In fact I have my copy [rummages through closet] right HERE and I did get it out recently when I
    repartitioned my SSD and did a re-install with Arch-only. It's __handy__

  • Additional CR when printing unicode character

    Hello,
    the following code prints two lines on a printer. The second line contains an escaped unicode character. When running the example code I can't even see the unicode character on the paper; but in my original application it is visible. So this is not the problem. But always an additional carriage return is inserted after the unicode character, thus overprinting the beginning of the line with the remaining text. This did not occur in java 6 if I remember correctly. Is there any workaround for this?
    Regards
    J.
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.awt.print.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class HelloWorldPrinter implements Printable, ActionListener {
        public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int page) throws
                                                            PrinterException {
            if (page > 0) return NO_SUCH_PAGE;
            Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
            g2d.translate(pf.getImageableX(), pf.getImageableY());
            g.drawString("Hello world!", 100, 100);
            g.drawString("Now the line with a unicode \u2259 character.", 100, 120);
            return PAGE_EXISTS;

    Hello Sabre,
    thank you for testing. Of course it's good news that you don't see any overprinting, but unfortunately that doesn't help me on my site (Win7 64-Bit, java 1.7.0_09).
    Since I can see the character in my original application as I wrote, I made up the following test case and met a strange behaviour. I can make my desired unicode character appear without any overprinting as long as I don't use any other character in the string below 2000(16).
    Kindly run the following code. It prints a line of unicode characters starting with my desired one.
    Then change iConstant in makeTextLine() to any value below 0x2000. At my site this results in overprinting.
    Does it also happen at yours?

  • Unicode Character - getString - ResultSet - Java.

    Hello experts,
    I am trying to query some records, containing unicode character of fields. When i execute the query in Oracle 9i, i am able to see the unicode character in the query result.
    When sending the same sql from java, though i am getting same count of records, but the field name containing special characters, are not being visible in the rs.getString(1) method.
    Could you please help me, on getting the special character in the output.
    Your direction in this regard is highly appreciated...
    Regards,
    girig.

    Basically, i am using eclipse Ide, and seeing the
    output in the console window.Try printing the unicode hex value of the characters rather than the charcters. This way you will not be worried about whether or not the font used by the display actually has glyphs for the characters.

  • 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.
