Re: www.archbang.org

Wow this is nice,,,Im running the 1.05 in virtualbox rite now,,I love the look of this,,I also will be excited to see an installer on this,,Being that i really dont no much about arch and how to install stuff in an arch system,,I`ll be excited to get a full install to learn how things are done in the Arch world.
  Another thing i love is that the knowledge ive learned from #! wont go to waste

I used AIF itself so basically it's the plain arch-ncurses installer modified for ArchBang.

I tried to make an iso of my openbox+puppy+ crunchbang look and configuration, but it took all my password and mail configurations lol so sorry I won t share it ;-)

Re: www.archbang.org

Hi,
I have just tried it on the eeepc 100h. It can't start neither in normal mode nor in 'intel' mode, desktop did not display, unreadable screen. I think following modules are missing in rc.conf: intel_agp and i915 (found here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=69083 ).

Still I could boot in failsafe mode, very fast (30 sec from grub to usable desktop). It seemed to me that some shortcuts were not working (Super+W, Super+X).

Congratulations for this good work

no more proprietary OS at home, and still no printer smile

Re: www.archbang.org

Had a quick look this morning in a virtualbox. A really nice basic Openbox setup that people can build upon to their hearts content. Next is to test the installer.

All going well this will be a nice simple way for many to launch into the Arch experience. Great work big_smile

Re: www.archbang.org

It might be my cd,,Because User  User Live and any other variant ive tried doesnt works.
I was able to get it up and running in virtualbox. But no luck making the live CD work.

Ive even tried root.

Hi Charlie,

The LiveCD should not even prompt for a password and go straight into the desktop. While performing tasks requiring root privileges you have to use "sudo". It requires no password for that! If you want to create a root password follow the wiki.

Re: www.archbang.org

The new ArchBang 2.00 rc1 ... is everything you'd expect from a LiveCD.

Getting any version of Arch to open to a GUI is almost impossible.
They seem to think, that everyone 'wants' to 'compile' the OS using CLI

I had read WillExtreme's blog about How-to ~/set-up Arch
It was refreshing to see the Openbox WM desktop.

I'm still playing with it ... learning about Arch and Openbox.
Adding whatever apps/files I need to get the network connected.
I use a Wireless USB Modem on my PC.  Wicd doesn't support these yet.

So it did for me. First boot took a very,very long time: Complaints about Floppy not  recognized (i don't have any!). So i made a break and after some minutes, archbang was up and running. Installed fine on harddrive, but would not keep my keyboard and language preferences (de_DE = german). Installed Lxpanel and that came up in german after reboot - but still no german keyboard. Tried to manually edit the rc.conf and locale-gen. Result: No keyboard at all anymore. hmm
So for the moment, no archbang for me... sad

Hi, all you had to do was edit the

/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi

and change:
   

 <merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">us</merge>

from "us" to "de"

Please  remember ArchBang doesn't make Arch Install process any easier, we are using the traditional Arch procedures so remember to search the Arch{wiki,forum} if you have any problems. wink

As far as i remember i also did what you suggested, but that didn't work either. I've already wiped my archbang - install, but will reinstall, if i got the time...

Thanks for your efforts!!!

Yeah, you have to learn much about Arch, because Arch have nothing to do with what you have described.

Danke - aber genau den Link hab ich auch benutzt, um "einzudeutschen". Statt dessen gar keine Tastatur mehr. Hat's denn bei dir funktioniert ??

Translation: That's exactly the link, i used to change my keyboard-layout to german. Result: no keyboard at all.
