# DEVELOPMENT

|
|
|
# Arch Linux Calamares Installer or ALCI
|
|
|
|
Use the correct version for building the iso.
|
|
|
|
**Read the archiso.md.**
|
|
|
|
Download the content of the github with (use the terminal)
|
|
|
|
`git clone https://github.com/arcolinuxiso/alci-iso`
|
|
|
|
# Pacman.conf in archiso
|
|
|
|
Only the archiso/pacman.conf will be used to download your packages.
|
|
|
|
We created several versions of pacman.conf to be able to switch quickly.
|
|
|
|
In order to avoid future questions we activated multilib by default on all except no-extra-pacman.conf.
|
|
|
|
In order to switch quickly we copy/paste the content of the other files in archiso/pacman.conf.
|
|
|
|
arcolinux-chaotic-pacman.conf
|
|
contains both ArcoLinux and chaotic-aur
|
|
needs extra packages - mirrorlist and keys
|
|
|
|
arcolinux-pacman.conf
|
|
contains only ArcoLinux
|
|
needs extra packages - mirrorlist and keys
|
|
|
|
chaotic-pacman.conf
|
|
contains only chaotic-aur
|
|
needs extra packages - mirrorlist and keys
|
|
|
|
no-extra-pacman.conf
|
|
as vanilla as Arch Linux
|
|
needs NO extra packages - mirrorlist and keys - no multilib
|
|
|
|
# Pacman.conf in archiso/airootfs/etc/
|
|
|
|
This will be your future system.
|
|
Include the repositories you want.
|
|
It will not be used to build the iso.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Keys and Mirrors
|
|
|
|
## ArcoLinux keys and mirror
|
|
|
|
Since this is an ArcoLinux project after all, the ArcoLinux keys are in by default.
|
|
Want a vanilla Arch Linux without any ArcoLinux packages then you do not need our keys.
|
|
Delete the ArcoLinux line in
|
|
`/archiso/airootfs/etc/systemd/system/pacman-init.service`
|
|
and they will not be installed.
|
|
|
|
## Chaotic keys and mirror
|
|
|
|
If you want to include packages from the Chaotic-aur repo then add its packages to archiso/packages.x86-64.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Archiso/packages.x86_64
|
|
|
|
Only the archiso/packages.x86-64 files will be used.
|
|
|
|
Check the bottom of the file and install the necessary packages
|
|
|
|
If you plan to use ArcoLinux packages
|
|
|
|
* arcolinux-keyring
|
|
|
|
* arcolinux-mirror
|
|
|
|
If you plan to use Chaotic packages
|
|
|
|
* chaotic-keyring
|
|
|
|
* chaotic-mirrorlist
|
|
|
|
Now you can add the packagename from the repo.
|
|
|
|
We have added a backup of the original file called original.packages.x86_64.
|
|
We have added an example called example-packages.x86_64.
|
|
|
|
Use meld to compare differences.
|
|
|
|
If you know you are going to need drivers for graphical cards or NICs put them on the iso.
|
|
I am thinking about xf86-video-intel, nvidia or other drivers.
|
|
|
|
# Build process
|
|
|
|
Install these two packages on your system if you want to include Chaotic packages on the iso
|
|
|
|
`sudo pacman -S chaotic-mirror chaotic-keyring`
|
|
|
|
Accept the **key of Pedro** from Chaotic during installation or install chaotic-keyring.
|
|
|
|
After editing the necessary files you can start building.
|
|
|
|
Use the scripts from this folder:
|
|
|
|
<b>installation-scripts</b>
|
|
|
|
Use script 30 and it will clean your pacman cache and redownload every package it needs.
|
|
|
|
Use script 40 to use your current pacman cache - it will only download what is needed
|
|
|
|
You will find the iso in this folder:
|
|
|
|
~/Alci-Out
|
|
|
|
Burn it with etcher or other tools and use it.
|
|
|
|
Still not sure what to do.

# Installation process
|
|
|
|
Is documented on
|
|
|
|
https://www.arcolinuxiso.com/arch-linux-calamares-installer/
|
|
|
|
|
|
# After installation
|
|
|
|
We have added a script to activate your display manager by default.
|
|
If you reboot you will boot into a graphical environment.
|
|
|
|
If you install more than one display manager they will overrule each other.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are still in the terminal then activate the display manager of your choice manually.
|
|
|
|
`sudo systemctl enable gdm`
|
|
|
|
`sudo systemctl enable lightdm`
|
|
|
|
`sudo systemctl enable sddm`
|
|
|
|
Get the pacman databases in
|
|
|
|
`sudo pacman -Sy`
|
|
|
|
or update immediately
|
|
|
|
`sudo pacman -Syyu`
|
|
|
|

|
# Arch Linux users
|
|
|
|
In order to get the keys in from ArcoLinux and Chaotic.
|
|
|
|
ArcoLinux
|
|
|
|
Both packages are on github. Keys and mirrors.
|
|
https://github.com/arcolinuxiso/alci_repo/tree/master/x86_64
|
|
Download them and install them via pacman -U ...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Chaotic
|
|
|
|
Both packages are on the AUR. Keys and mirrors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Tip
|
|
|
|
Sometime a "proc" folder stays mounted.
|
|
|
|
Unmount it with this
|
|
|
|
sudo umount /home/{username}/... use the TAB
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Tip
|
|
|
|
We have added a /etc/pacman-more.conf file to your future system.
|
|
That way we have the ArcoLinux repos and Chaotic repos if we do decide to install it after all.
|
|
Remember to install the mirror and keys.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Tip
|
|
|
|
Run into issues - remove all packages manually with
|
|
|
|
sudo pacman -Scc
|
|
|
|
and ensure they are all gone.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Tip
|
|
|
|
When using gdm as display manager remember to delete the file /archiso/airootfs/etc/motd from your system. That files comes originally from Arch Linux.
