 ===== 170429 ArchAnywhere attempts ===== ===== 170429 ArchAnywhere attempts =====
 +
 +Attempts to build live ISO using systems installed with ArchAnywhere and Revenge
 +
 +=== Session 2017-4-29 (J Nash, S. Murphy, Bruce Davis) ===
 +
 +Renewed attempt with archanywhere-dual:
 +
 +
 +<code>
 +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 "user" = userpw
 +        GUI pacman pac-aur chosen
 + audio group: pavucontrol
 + graphics group: feh, imagemagick
 +</code>
 +
 +==== Attempt to remaster ====
 +
 +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 /usr/share/archiso/configs/releng/archlive/
 + cd archlive
 +
 +BUT cannot edit packages because screen ownership is with "user" not "root".
 +
 +Back out. Before "sudo su -" run
 +
 +        xhost +
 +
 +This is potentially dangerous, since anyone then has access.
 +
 + sudo su -
 + export DISPLAY=:0
 +
 +We managed to make an iso following the instructions
 +https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Archiso
 +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.
 +The "settings" and "display settings" buttons/links still not active.
