Please make more videos! I enjoy the way you explain everything. I have always wanted to try Arch but had a hard time figuring out the installer on my own. Thanks again :)
AAAAHHHHHAAAAAA!!! [SOLVED] my problem! ctr-alt-f3 login as root -pacman -S vte3 This needed to be set in the user settings -localectl set-locale LANG="en_US.UTF-8" -reboot "This solved my non-functioning gnome-terminal" GREAT TUTOTIAL!!!! Thank You!
Everything just works, thank you very much! Altough had to do some extra steps like installing drivers for my touchpad to work, but that wasn't hard There are still things I don't really understand like, everything worked fine after reboot, but after another reboot, I couldn't get into gnome anymore, entered my password and nothing happend on gdm. So I instead of gnome I have chosen "Gnome on Wayland" and now it works again altough I have no idea what that is tbh
Hey I have a question.. What about the device drivers..the latest ones..like: the processors microfirmware, gpu drivers, touchpad and others. The manjaro has a hardware detection tool so will it work on the vanilla arch install as well?
good tutorial on basic stuff :) Though I couldn't get past `gnome-extra`. Black screen, blinking cursor. Barely got rid of it, couldn't even load the terminal. Then package broke... :(
Nice video. Pretty clear explanation. However, since you did the installation on a virtual machine you didn't have to install any drivers, ( touchpad, gpu, etc..) which sometimes it can be some trouble.
I think part of the problem may be when installing the guest addon... there area a couple of options for DKMS and arch module.... I think I should have chosen the Arch module and not the default DKMS.
Good idea! I sometimes forget that people need those, but I did see that Witcher 3 won't run on Linux yet and Google Docs / Open Office doesn't work for a few different things.
I got an IP via DHCP before when I was setting up the OS in part one. Now I reboot and have no IP but eth0 shows as UP. I try to start 'ethernet-dhcp' profile for netctl, but I get this: Profile 'ethernet-dhcp' does not exist or is not readable. I just copied the example file out of /eth/netctl/examples into net/ctl/interfaces Any ideas?
Ok, I got it on the second try (had to scrap my first VM). This is what I got caught up on: *systemctl enable dhcpcd@YOUR-NIC-NAME.service* (I felt this was not explained well...or at all, really). Also, it's vey hard to read the commands at the bottom of the video because of the video scroll/scrub bar. Otherwise good video, thanks.
Run this command below and let it remove installed virtualbox-guest-dkms package: pacman -S virtualbox-guest-modules-arch reboot source: wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox
yeah i figured it out, for some reason dhcpcd wasnt enabled and i got it sorted. Currently i issued the systemctl gdm start, and linux got hung up on something so i rebooted and now nothing happens
Great tutorial, learned a ton... Only one issue. When finally got to desktop, I am unable to open the terminal to do any further adjustments. After scouring the forums, I found a few "false [SOLVED]" write ups, one solution was "pacman -S vte3" to revert back to orignal dependancies, however FAIL. So far this is still my issue, I am at the desktop without access to a terminal. P.S. ctr-alt-f3 got me back to level 3 console tty.
press cntrl alt f2 then login as root then pacman - S terminal after u connect to internet then Cntrl. alt f1 to login in gnome n use the new installed terminal to figure out how to fix the default
Nice video, however you tend to breeze through the command line commands while explaining what they do without being clear as to what you are typing and in some cases you just continue to type in additional commands. Makes it kind of hard to follow.

Thanks. I learned a few things!
Excellent video!
Thanks for the video, you should make more videos about stuff you think new linux users should know
AAAAHHHHHAAAAAA!!!
[SOLVED] my problem!
ctr-alt-f3
login as root
-pacman -S vte3
This needed to be set in the user settings
-localectl set-locale LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
-reboot
"This solved my non-functioning gnome-terminal"
GREAT TUTOTIAL!!!! Thank You!

Wayland is a new replacement to X. It is basically using way less overhead than X does since X is rather convoluted and buggy.

Nice video. How about one on Wine or PlayOnLinux? Specifically, getting MS Office to work on linux. Thanks.

Boot stalls after installing gnome, gdm in Arch Virtualbox container. 3d graphics enabled. It was booting before this.
I got an IP via DHCP before when I was setting up the OS in part one. Now I reboot and have no IP but eth0 shows as UP. I try to start 'ethernet-dhcp' profile for netctl, but I get this: Profile 'ethernet-dhcp' does not exist or is not readable.

After I do systemctl enable gdm.service and systemctl start gdm.service all I get is a black screen
+Lawton Mizell are you running in a vm?
+Kevin Ison yes, but since January I have solved the issue lol thanks
+Lawton Mizell What was the issue? Having the same problem. i am also running it in a vm thanks!
Run this command below and let it remove installed virtualbox-guest-dkms package:
pacman -S virtualbox-guest-modules-arch
reboot
source: wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox
+Omid Khalili it works! thank you very mutch
should always use visudo to edit sudoers file
the sudo pacman -Syu command errors out everything, says it could not resolve host. Where else can i grab these from?
+Adam Hughes hey this is because you are not connected to the internet - use wifi-menu if using wireless to set it up
yeah i figured it out, for some reason dhcpcd wasnt enabled and i got it sorted. Currently i issued the systemctl gdm start, and linux got hung up on something so i rebooted and now nothing happens
+Adam Hughes what type of video card? wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xorg
GTX 980, but im running this in Virtualbox
Is there anyway i can stop gdm from running at the start so i can fix this? or do i have to start from scratch again

Very cool, Thank you
