[arch-general] How do I should install and configure arch linux
by brainworker＠lavabit.com 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Hello, folks Due to recent changes in arch linux, I have some qustion about new process of installation and configuration of arch linux. I am really not computer geek, so I apologize if I express anything incorrectly. First. About absence of core images. When I just read about it, I thought why they did it. But then I realize that arch is rolling release system after all. This fact means periodical and quite frequent updates, which are impossible without Internet connection. So if you would like to install Linux on computer without Internet, choose OS with fixed release cycle - all the system packages (as well as applications) will be on that distribution. So I am glad that now there is one universal iso-image instead of six. Second. About absence of AIF. I really sorry about it. As I said I am not so geeky to install everything with closed eyes. AIF helped me a lot. It gives me tips what to do next and how to do it. Now, when burned CD finished loading, I just see prompt to enter commands and nothing else. But I just do not know what to do next. So if I do not have installation guide previously printed on paper, I just become consused what to do next. So, I really hope that to the moment when next iso snapshot will be released, AIF will be fixed and included in that release. But for the present I would like at least to have installation guide included in installation iso (with a note where this guide resides) in order to switch to it during installation. Third. About systemd. As I understand from installation guide on Wiki all the configuration now is made not in rc.conf but in several config files. I do not know yet whether it is good or bad. But in Wiki I can read the following: 1) instead of NETWORKING section I should specify hostname in /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts. Why should I duplicate information? The danger of need to duplicate information is that it have to be synchronized. 2) instead of LOCALIZATION section I should specify locale in /etc/locale.conf and /etc/locale.gen. Again why should I duplicate information? 3) instead of LOCALIZATION section I should specify timezone in /etc/timezone and /etc/localtime. And again the same question. Why? Besides, where should I specify my network connection settings? In what systemd-specific file? As I understand in ... rc.conf. And what about daemons? Where to specify them? Again in rc.conf? And now the main question. If new plan of reorganization of configuration files can not manage without rc.conf, why there is so need to split it? I hope you can make it clear, guys.

[arch-general] problems
by Matias Hick 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Hey, I'm trying to install courier-authlib but after installation it says "error: command failed to execute correctly". It looks like it's installed but I also have issues trying to start authdaemond (chown: invalid user: 'courier:courier'). For any reason, it's expecting to have the courier user created and it's not. In the archwiki for postfix says nothing about creating that user. Regards. Any idea how to solve this? I'd appreciate your help! Matt. -- Live to fight another day.

[arch-general] Systemd +1
by Leonidas Spyropoulos 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Hey all, I just wanted to share my experience with you. I follow closely the changes and discussion about systemd and I have to say that in the first I was worried also that taken away the basic configuration from rc.conf will be complicated and will cause more pain. I usually enjoy breaking my computer into a point that I have to spend 2 hours reading the wiki or forums to fix it. Now days though I don't have much time mainly due to work. Thus I wanted to get ahead of the migration of initscripts to systemd. I recently made an Archlinux installation on my laptop so the system was quite clean. It was the perfect target for systemd migration. I just installed the systemd and opened up wiki page. I started making configuration changes to the files replacing entries in rc.conf with new files. It was quite straight forward if you know your system and refer back to your rc.conf. When done I removed the intescripts and rebooted. It was that simple. Had a bit of glinches as I didn't enable networkmanager from the start and reboot from inside the gnome didn't work, but now it's all fixed. I recommend to all to try at least once the systemd migration and then express opinions. It's really easy. Maybe it's just my idea but I think the system is somewhat faster on the booting now. Just my opinion but as I see initscripts are abandoned and Archlinux is a bleeding edge distro, it's natural solution to adopt systemd. +1 from me :) Disclaimer: this was done on a laptop a very recent installation, maybe on other more complicated installations it's harder.

[arch-general] lib -> usr/lib
by Ralf Mardorf 26 Jul '12

I laugh away this trouble. Is there any information about the advantages of lib -> usr/lib? I like to read it, after I finished the following occupational therapy [1]. I suspect that if I won't do it now, I have to restore my Arch from a backup? Or can I shutdown and startup anyway?

[arch-general] pacman and corrupt packages
by Shridhar Daithankar 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Hello All, Last few days my net connection drops randomly or slows down to a crawl. As a result, there are several timeouts during package downloads. When a download timeout occurs, pacman aborts with "invalid or corrupted package". Is it possible to detect which package is corrupt and invalid, so that it can be downloaded? When it happened with one package, I deleted it manually and next time it worked but when several packages get timeout, its hard to detect the failing one. Does pacman has built-in retry functionality? Here is the complete log. ------------- :: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts...

[arch-general] OT: Something good happened

When using Evolution on Xfce the color theme was broken for a long time. Some text was unreadable. Today it's fixed :). I already thought about switching to LXDE. No need to do so now. Thanx, Ralf
