Re: [arch-releng] efi stub
by Jude DaShiell 08 Jun '20

The machine that got archlinux installed on it yesterday has only a bios boot mode. Would efi stub be useful for such a machine? I now have everything set to msdos and on this 3tb drive lost some useable disk real estate doing so. --

Re: [arch-releng] talkingarch wiki needs an update
by Jude DaShiell 08 Jun '20

I got talkingarch installed and running last night. Not perfectly yet but well enough for the basics. It turns out I was using the wrong instruction set for this talkingarch and that shortened my notes which need some fixes they'll get later today. I'm putting source urls in notes so I'll remember the source of the instructions later. --

[arch-releng] talking arch wiki needs an update
by Jude DaShiell 08 Jun '20

08 Jun '20

The audio tutorial on that page is way out of date and only gets anyone to an unbootable system if instructions are followed. At the least it needs removal and at best it needs an update. I used the latest talkingarch to do an arch install and still have an unbootable system. For one thing, the pacstrap line is defective. It needs at minimum to be: pacstrap /mnt base base-devel espeakup alsa-utils pulseaudio-alsa dhcpcd linux linux-firmware grub vi Even with that line I haven't got a bootable system since I don't get the grub beep when trying to boot the system. Beyond that, where is alsa.state supposed to be located and where does alsa.state get copied for anything to work? I had to attach a second speaker set to a usb port to get the system to generate an asound.conf file but even copying that into /mnt/etc didn't help. Another question related to this is if you don't have two or more sound cards what are the proper commands to get alsa working at all on a new system install with espeakup? That was never coveered in the basic install tutorial either. I've been trying to install this distro for the last couple days so I could add a second machine to help out with the foldingathome project and so far no cigar. The braille notes I have came from that tutorial and I need to know what to update so those can be rewritten so they'll be correct. For some reason Jenux won't even come up talking on the second machine though talkingarch does. --

[arch-releng] archiso moved to gitlab
by David Runge 30 May '20

30 May '20

Hi all! Some of you might have noticed over the past weeks, that some of Arch Linux' projects are starting to migrate to our own gitlab instance [1]. Although we are not entirely done with opening our gitlab instance to the outside world yet [2], we have decided that now is as good as any time to move archiso and other projects over. Earlier this year I have decided to pick up this project, as it is in dire need of a new maintainer/ team. Development has been relatively slow over the past months (due to work and probably also due to this generally weird situation we're all in ;-) ). The repo can now be found at: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso I have started adding tickets for the existing tickets in flyspray (as I plan on completely discarding the flyspray tracker for archiso) and for some of the issues that have been raised on the mailing list since August. For a few I have already added merge requests and I plan on releasing a new version of archiso this weekend, due to some breaking changes to some of the components in use. My general plan is to from now on only work with the merge request and milestone system that gitlab offers and combine it with gitlab's CI (that still proves to be a bit of a tough cookie for unprivileged docker due to the various mounts required during build). All in all I think that as soon as we are able to open the instance up to the public for good this will be a much more transparent workflow for all of us. Best, David [1] https://gitlab.archlinux.org [2] https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2020-May/029971.html [3] https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso -- https://sleepmap.de

[arch-releng] Latest ArchISO breaks 512MB RAM barrier
by Óscar García Amor 01 May '20

01 May '20

Hello all, Simply I wanted to tell you that the latest ArchISO image needs more than 512MB of RAM to boot. If you try to boot it in a machine (you can test with VirtualBox) with 512MB of ram you give a "Initramfs unpacking failed: write error" after Probing EDD line. Next in "Mounting '/dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_202005' to '/run/archiso/bootmnt' cannot mount and fallbacks to interactive prompt. I don't know if this is intentional or not. But I think that if the new ISOs need more than 512 MB or RAM to boot, maybe it is a good idea to publish a notice in Arch Linux web page. Greetings. -- Óscar García Amor | ogarcia at moire.org | http://ogarcia.me
