Arch Linux
Some notes on install. Needs to be cleaned up
I use MacOS so first need to find my flash drive
diskutil list
# comment
Okay great, our flash drive happens to be
/dev/disk2Well dd works great so we will use that and /dev/wdisk2 worked super fast for me.
dd bs=4M if=path/to/archlinux.iso of=/dev/wdisk2
# bs = batch size
# if = input file
# of = output file (/dev/disk is a file)
I’ve only got 1 WiFi card, so let's scan the hardware for WiFi.
Turn the hardware on
ip link set wlan0 up
-
- After install this became wlp5s0
- Check it can scan
iwlist wlan0 scan - Connect to my wifi
wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c <(wpa_passphrase cjwifi thisismypassword)- basically wpa_supplicant will help connect to wifi with wpa2 passphrase which is probably most routers default. I just played around until it worked. Yay technology!
- wpa_passphrase generates text that you are gonna shove into wpa_supplicant to connect to your wifi
- -B - Fork into background.
- -c filename - Path to configuration file.
- -i interface - Interface to listen on.
- needed to run
dhcpcd wlan0to get DHCP on the wlan interface - ping worked!
- Well I need wifi at boot. Sym link
ln -s /usr/share/dhcpcd/hooks/10-wpa_supplicant /usr/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks/ - Create config for wpa_supplicant to read on boot
wpa_passphrase cjwifi thisismypassword > /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf - Create partitions. The wiki is confusing but ok. Took too long Want it to look like /dev/sda1 260M EFI System (1) /dev/sda2 32G Linux filesystem (default) /dev/sda3 4G Linux swap (19) /dev/sda4 430G Linux filesystem (default) basically: fdisk g - create for gpt n - new partition - paritition 1 - default start sector +260M - 260MB in size t - change partition type 1 - EFI n +32G n +4G n t 1 1 t 3 19
- Now format those motherfuckers! mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sda1 mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2 mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda4
- Swap mkswap /dev/sda3 swapon /dev/sda3
- Mount them respectively mount /dev/sda2 /mnt mkdir /mnt/efi
- get off the usb bro cmon
arch-chroot /mnt - pacstrap me bro
pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware vim openssh dhcpcd wpa_supplicant - install grub
- hostname
- timezone….
- Booted: TIPS for services!:
- enable dchp
systemctl start dhcpcd - on boot start dchp
systemctl enable dhcpcddo the same for ssh so i can stop doing everything on the terminal - enable dchp
systemctl start sshd - on boot start dchp
systemctl enable sshd - install fish shell
- use ssh to get into my system from my laptop
cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys && chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys - install some utils
htop,tmux,wget,git,go,fzf,inetutils,grc--needed base-devel - install
vim-plugcurl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim - install fisher
curl https://git.io/fisher --create-dirs -sLo ~/.config/fish/functions/fisher.fish - install fzf binding for fisher
- install bass compat layer:
fisher add edc/bass - install grc to color: fisher add
oh-my-fish/plugin-grc - install nvm:
fisher add jorgebucaran/fish-nvm - install upto
fisher add markcial/upto - install z
fisher add jethrokuan/z - start getting dotfiles in order
