+ | ===== 170319 (trying with Revenge and Arch Anywhere) ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Downloaded **archanywhere dual** and **revenge installer 32** as per Scott' | ||
+ | Note that revenge was put in a file that was NOT labelled ISO. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Created and installed (chose openbox, but that's maybe a poor idea -- XFCE may be easier). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Then tried to run alsaplayer to play music. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note need to create vmshare dir and mount it so I had some mp3 files. | ||
+ | |||
+ | sudo mount -t vboxsf vmshare vmshare | ||
+ | |||
+ | audacious plays, alsaplayer does not. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To get VBox Guest additions, had to mount /dev/sr0, install gcc and make from base-devel and run the VBoxLinuxAdditions.run | ||
+ | |||
+ | Managed to mess up arch anywhere. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Try again with Arch Anywhere ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Redo with xfce, changing to ALSA audio driver in VBox settings. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Change back to pulseaudio as no sound. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Reboot, but now file manager not working??? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Could not get pacman to find mp3 stuff. And some apps not responding. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Try again with Revenge | ||
+ | |||
+ | Choose pulseaudio. LXDE | ||
+ | |||
+ | Tried to insert and run VBoxLinuxAdditions.run but no linux-headers. | ||
+ | |||
+ | pacman -S linux-headers # worked! | ||
+ | |||
+ | reboot | ||
+ | |||
+ | vboxadd.service failed and locked at end " | ||
+ | |||
+ | reboot | ||
+ | |||
+ | No good. So try again to install. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Choose: | ||
+ | |||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | | ||
+ | media audacious | ||
+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | Then insert VBox Guest Additions iso, open terminal and | ||
+ | |||
+ | sudo ./ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Seems OK. So reboot. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Yes, screen sizing works. Mounted vmshare after creating. And audacious plays tunes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | pacman -S alsaplayer | ||
+ | |||
+ | does not work, but install implied MPEG support needs libmad. | ||
+ | |||
+ | pacman -S libmad | ||
+ | |||
+ | alsaplayer works! | ||
+ | |||
+ | Try Archanywhere again. | ||
+ | |||
+ | adding libmad got alsaplayer working. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Slightly different interface to revenge. | ||
