Arch ISO 03.2021 Install with BSPWM

[@joseluiscuevastorres6156]

magnificent video there is no doubt that you are a great teacher, I am currently 43 years old, but when I grow up I want to be like you

[@eflinux]

Hey thanks!

[@pauliusvilkauskas6658]

You're doing gods work by making these updates on arch installation. Seems like they're changing the iso constantly, so following the install guide on arch wiki is not as easy as I previously thought.

[@mrgndx]

Thank you sooooo much for making the font so big! I can finally watch a Linux video from my phone :D

[@eflinux]

My pleasure!

[@kanashimi6209]

Thank you for the video Ermanno. These Arch installation videos are a life saver!! Keep up the good work

[@eflinux]

Glad you like them!

[@tiktok.4527]

Another great video from you.. never get bored to watch it

[@eflinux]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@eikeimnetz]

thank you very much, i just started with arch and did this installation with the june 2021 iso, worked like a charm. Also i want to appreciate the bigger fontsize so i could work this out on my setup.

Hello EF, You should do a guide on configuring Awesome WM.

[@eflinux]

Will try :)

[@Iongjump]

thanks ❤ on my laptop i used to use archinstall with desktop-bspwm profile, so i had all that preinstalled, but it just wouldn't work on my pc for some reason. thanks to you i didn't get lost when installing arch by hand 🎉

[@jackclark4700]

Awesome video! One thing I learned while doing my first arch install the other day, sometimes the computer's wifi card is blocked by default and you will get something like "no station for wlan0", so before using iwctl run the command "rfkill unblock wifi" idk if anyone else had this problem, but I thought I'd put it out there just in case

[@eflinux]

That's good info. I mentioned it a couple of times in other videos, and it's something the wiki mentions as well. I will remind it in the next install.

[@sidsaab8387]

Hi Ermanno , finally made it trough and got the shell no issue with video driver this time, thanks again.

[@peterjansen4826]

You can use systemctl on multiple services with one command, for example systemctl enable NetworksManager bluetooth cups sshd lightdm I tried it out. The only downside is that it might be more cumbersome to read the output because you have so many lines in a row. The visudo file is not space-sensitive, you can just remove the # and leave the space.

[@eflinux]

Thanks Peter, I know, but in videos for clarity I rather do them separately as well as the spaces in files. Personal preference as well :)

[@biswakalyanbhuyan165]

Can anyone help me... I got greetes from lightdm but when i login it comes black screen and btw wt is this mod key? Can anyone explain me please 😅

[@mustafababdullah2485]

My lord i guess im first, to 🙈 see hahaha i was doing just that installing March iso to a laptop of someone that has learned to hate win10. With plasma / swapfile and installed so discover works and yay backed pamac. Already they are reading Arch wiki 😂 i made Firefox homepage arch linux org love too see someone throw out ms!

[@kivvm]

i am coming back to linux after years of brake from it. Main reason is because I started using my old laptops again. I have always done partitions this way. boot, swap, root and home. A video on how to make a new install, but keeping home partition would be nice. I think I understand how it would go about. Like a normal install but you keep the /home partition and mount it again? great videos as always

[@eflinux]

Thanks for the feedback! I'll add it to the list!

[@thenextpoetician6328]

Did a couple dozen beta installations recently. Some used reiser. It behaves like ext4 in Calamares. I also did some btrfs installations. It doesn't directly allow multibooting afaict, but it does allow for sub-volumes, and that is precisely where I stopped beta testing. :) Have you thought about doing a video on the major advantages and limitations of the various file systems? I searched a fair bit on btrfs, and most results addressed dual-booting with WIndoze only, while two separate Linux iso's is a bit of a needle in a hay stack.

[@eflinux]

That's a great idea. The topic is huge though, and also, I don't have experience with all FS available, but maybe with the most commons.

[@thenextpoetician6328]

@@eflinux A further idea might be to do only two side by side at a time, then any other side-by-side evaluations can simply refer to the conclusions of any previous looksees.

[@CesarPeron]

Nice video as always... PS: Why don't you use the most powerful commands? I mean the ones in your script like: sed -i "177s /.//" /etc/locale.gen instead of: vim /etc/locale.gen (and so on) PS2: Yes, gvfs includes gvfs-smb and many others

[@eflinux]

Vim won't work in a script.

[@mustafababdullah2485]

Have a command i long forgotten maybe it will be helpful disown && exit. You oftentimes talk about remotely working via ssh. This will allow the terminal to exit while the service continues till completion, often great because one doesn't have to worry about disconnect

[@eflinux]

Thanks for sharing!

[@peterjansen4826]

What exactly do you need xdg-utils and xdg-user-dirs for? I did not notice any problems without either of these tools (dwm). I looked it up, apparently it does something while creating the user-folders and it is involved in a desktop-integration but that is awfully vague.

[@eflinux]

Hi Peter! User directories, can be useful in a DE as well as in a WM, but it's not strictly necessary.

[@peterjansen4826]

@@eflinux But what is the difference compared to when the user makes those diretories himself?

[@eflinux]

Let's say you create a new user in the system with "useradd -m username". The m switch creates the home directory with all directories automatically added.

Yes, run partprobe /dev/yourdisk or reboot your machine.

Which kernel are you using?

[@Klatsch_Batsch]

@@eflinux Kernel 5.11.2-arch1-1

Is there a specific reason you are using 9.4.4.1? As I see on the wiki that is quite an old version.

for mkinicpio in modules if i have laptop nvidia and intel i must add 2 modules?

It's loading the wrong layout. You can change that with the setxkbmap command.

[@tetedanco]

[@gatosssss1]

I keep getting a black screen when i login with LightDM but bspwm doesn't seem to work. I have copied the configs, edited sxhkd config to match my terminal. I edited lightdm.conf to use bspwm user session. The strange thing is if i configure .xinitrc and run startx, everything is working fine. I have also tried creating ~/.xprofile and starting bspwm from there but it didnt work.

[@eflinux]

I assume you are on Arch. Make sure you add your graphic card in the modules section of the mkinitcpio.conf file (for intel: i915, for amd:amdgpu, for nvidia: nvidia). Then recreate the image.

[@gatosssss1]

@@eflinux I forgot to mention im in a VM btw. I will do that and let you know

[@eflinux]

In that case, you'll have to check the vm drivers too, especially in VirtualBox.

[@gatosssss1]

@@eflinux It still didn't work. Weird thing is i have tried everything including a vanilla arch install, endeavour os base install, arco linux base install and then their scripts but the problem is the same. It must have something to do with VirtualBox. I read that the drivers of Virtualbox are just virtual drivers of the host pc. So since i've got an AMD cpu + gpu, i should still choose amdgpu drivers on installation right? Anyway, I guess im going to depend on xinit for the boot with no display manager.
