Arch Linux

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bu … 2F_nouveau

Read the wiki!

No where does it say to install 'nouveau-firmware'

I personally use the Nvidia setup, but like I said before, READ the whole wiki page.

Sorry,

I have been using JellyBean that is completely functional on my LTE nexus. Its a hack job off of the GSM version that was released at I/O but it is running very well. Big step in Android if you ask me. We have it up on our forum, just follow the link.

This is for a CDMA device, if you need a GSM version please let me know. Also this is for a rooted Nexus.

I had to use NetBeans for a class and had this issue, I added 'export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1' to my .xinitrc and I no longer recieved an empty grey screen after loading. Not saying that is a cure all but it worked for me. Regardless it's the beauty of Arch, it is whatever you want it to be. Choice is it's best feature.

Also I just realized this is an open box thread. Sorry bout that.

Well if you've been using emacs for that amount of time there will be no convincing you.

Depending on the Android device(using ics) It should only be using mtpfs, which at the moment is very slow(if working at all). I highly suggest for Android using adb. I know this doesn't help with USB sticks but at least it one off the list. I use adb push/pull/logcat many times a day, everyday.

In the case of a major update (meaning a long time in between) I can see your point being very valid. As I update daily, sometimes multiple times a day, my updates are small and tracking something down is quite simple.

Just difference in opinion. Thanks for answering.

Forgive my pointing out the obvious but do your function keys not work?

I will. Installing "Arch" was very good for a learning experience but it is basically the same setup that I used on while on bang. Though if ArchBang could incorporate the "net install" it would be pretty dang awesome. It was nice to finish install and pacman -Syyu was empty.

Boot time is insanely quick. I did get to learn a great deal more in doing a "real" Arch install though. That's all I wanted to do.

I personally blacklist it in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf

blacklist pcspkr
blacklist snd_pcsp

The first error will go away once you've fully upgraded. The second error is you need to comment out "ShowSize" in the options section of you /etc/pacman.conf

@jdarnold

Looked at your Arch blog, nice to see another android guy move to arch

Or another DE all together. Possibly Gnome or KDE. I've used both and seem to be exactly what you are looking for. The whole idea behind arch is to make your system yours. Just because Archbang comes with OpenBox does not mean you have to use it.

After the cairo-ubuntu fiasco might I suggest using a default font that IS NOT from the AUR. If the user would like to change to it that is fine, but I think for simplicity of post install upgrades using programs from the "main" repos (community, core, etc, etc) would cut down on many foreseeable errors

I am a little biased but  suggest

community/terminus-font 4.36-1 [installed]
    A superb, monospace bitmap font (for X11 and console)

Nice to see another Android builder here.

With the way the Arch devs are releasing stuff these days I fear the only way to keep up is to put out an ISO monthly, that just seem very feasible.

Worked perfectly. Marking as solved. Thank you.

Apparently I am to newbish for this but would love to learn.

I remember a post on getting pacman to output what drivers I do have installed but it would safe to say that I have all the default ones from a fresh bang install. I am not looking for and exact answer but more of a direction.

So far I've gathered to set the gpu to "intel" and remove the "nomodeset" from the grub kernel line.

If you have and suggestions for a newb or need more info please ask and I will provide it. Though I think I have listed everything needed.

Cheers and thank you for the help.

To remove the pre-packaged firefox

pacman -R firefox-aurora

Then simply install another browser of your choice.

As for the menus I don't use OB so I don't know the answer to that. Sorry.

TMK that '"beep" is the internal PC speaker, meaning BIOS speaker <-- I think. And I don't believe there is a way to change that sound that comes from it as it is controlled by the BIOS.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Its my laptop, so strictly WiFi. I will background both and report back.

Edit:

Same result. I did notice I had rc.conf.pacnew wheich didn't inslude a udev timeout=30 So i upgraded to the new rc.conf as well.

A little more digging into the situation and here is a dmesg

You can see there is a fair bit of lag on loading the wifi.. I have attempted adding "iwl3945" into my MODULES array in the /etc/rc.conf, I've even go so far as to black list it in modprobe.conf and then modprobe it from /etc/rc/local. Anyone else have an idea?

Why not just "startx"?

http://www.archlinux.org/news/libpnglib … m-testing/

I enable community testing in /etc/pacman.conf and did a full system upgrade then ran

pacman -Qs cairo

And reinstalled all packages listed. PcmanFM and aurora worked as intended after.

Cheers.

Just for my own morbid curiosity I decided to remove sLim. Terminal login takes just as long. So seems slim is not the culprit.

I had this issues as well but though nothing of it, basically saw it as one less step for me. Regardless I figured I should change it and rm'd the g_wheel. Now I can't shut down. o.O Oops. So it seems lennie's method is the best. So i guess I will recreate the the g_wheel when I get home this evening.

What a great idea. I hadn't thought of that.

Here is a gem for using nano with a colored syntax for .config files. I stumbled across it yesterday and works very well.

I remember the firefox-aurora part. So I'll start with that. Thank you very much.
