- | ===== 170319 ===== | + | The above was the approximate configuration of Crunch-Bang linux and its successor Bunsenlabs-Hydrogen, |

+ | Attempts to build live systems with archanywhere and Revenge | ||
+ | |||
+ | Session 2017-4-29 (J Nash, S. Murphy, Bruce Davis) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Renewed attempt with archanywhere-dual | ||
+ | |||
+ | First ran archanywhere installer using the following options: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Two tries, as first did not give a working graphical interface after | ||
+ | an install to USB. This records the second try. | ||
+ | |||
+ | xfce system (NOT archanywhere xfce, which appears incomplete) | ||
+ | added xfce goodies from wiki | ||
+ | Choices: | ||
+ | dev-version | ||
+ | syslinux | ||
+ | netctl | ||
+ | wifi | ||
+ | no multiboot | ||
+ | touchpad | ||
+ | gdm | ||
+ | Add 32 bit apps support | ||
+ | DHCP | ||
+ | Set root pw = rootpw, user pw for " | ||
+ | GUI pacman pac-aur chosen | ||
+ | audio group: pavucontrol | ||
+ | graphics group: feh, imagemagick | ||
+ | |||
+ | The VBox system then seemed to work OK. Now need to remaster. | ||
+ | |||
+ | sudo pacman -S archiso | ||
+ | Chose releng profile for custom install. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Then had a difficulty with the screen not being available to root. | ||
+ | |||
+ | sudo su - | ||
+ | mkdir archlive | ||
+ | cp -r / | ||
+ | cd archlive | ||
+ | |||
+ | BUT cannot edit packages because screen ownership is with " | ||
+ | Back out. Before "sudo su -" run | ||
+ | xhost + | ||
+ | This is potentially dangerous, since anyone then has access. | ||
+ | sudo su - | ||
+ | export DISPLAY=: | ||
+ | |||
+ | We managed to make an iso following the instructions | ||
+ | https:// | ||
+ | and this did boot, but did not have all features desired. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In our running arch system, we could install and run alsaplayer. However | ||
+ | settings to adjust the screen did not work properly. We could not get | ||
+ | xfce4-panel to work after it apparently installed succcessfully. | ||
