You know that reminds me, I have a dectalk express, but doubt that would be of any help as the usb serial port is a software driver. Shame, as then Speakup could work to my advantage, but guess not.

OK, guys, I've removed the timezone selection in the installer (you'll need to do this manually). The installation should be completely smooth now.

How can I connect to the internet for setup? I have a realtek wifi driver but when i type iwconfig it says eno1 no wireless extentions. loopback no wireless extentions.

@28, I'm not sure. We might be missing firmware in the ISO. Is it an Realtek 8168 wifi card?

@30, yep, we're missin firmware. I'll update the built ISO in about an hour.

OK, I've added Realtek 8,168 firmware. Its build 20190218.005952423538256, downloadable at the link in the first post.

Ok, I'm going to give this a spin on an oldish mac, will connect it via ethernet to install and install drivers manually. Hoping it actually boots, the fact that I won't get a beep on startup will definatly play to my disadvantage here.
I'll post an update on how it goes.

Hello,
Sorry for the duble-post, but quick question before I install this. Is the base-devel group included by default (I want to get packages from the aur)
Thanks.

It is, and you will be asked whether you want to install Yay, which is fucking brilliant imo. IN case you haven't used it yay -S <package 1 package 2 package 3> etc. Just like pacman. Also yay by itself does a full system upgrade.

It still says no wireless extentions.

If push comes to shove, usb tether your phone to your pc. It'll pose as ethernet. If you have an android phone, it will even piggyback off your home wifi, but iPhone users are apparently stills tuck feeding off mobile data for a hotspot.

2019-02-18 17:44:31

@36, I'd build all the AUR wireless packages for Realtek drivers, but I have no idea how large that would make the ISO. Its worth a shot, though. I'm surprised that didn't fix it -- let me see what else I can throw together.

Hey, so when it goes to select mirrors, it tracebacks quite nastily, something about json decoding and expecting a value. do note, I'm having to tether my phone to my mac as the b43 firmware is not included, I guess I could load them manually myself but not sure if that would break anything else so didn't try.

OK, guys, new build is out, FreeOS 20190218.101820228604418. I've added a lot of firmware, so hopefully that (should maybe?) resolve firmware issues.

@40 downloading now lets hope things work

2019-02-18 19:52:12

ok, booted into the iso. got a bunch of messages before login, then i typed iwconfig once i was at the prompt and got the same message about no wireless extentions on my devices. but when i booted back into windows my wifi connection was disconnected, no idea if that has anything to do with it.

@42, very odd. I'm not sure what wireless driver would suffice for your machine. You may need to tether to your phone, do the install, and then chroot into the installer and search the AUR for packages that you might need. I pretty much have all the realtek firmware in the AUR, though, in the ISO. Just remember that if you want to duel-boot you can't use the installer, since its not ready for that quite yet.

@42 do you see any modules loaded if you type lspci -v | less, you can hit up/down to navigate the pager, but you'll see something like the following:

ok i installed it and when i rebooted i have no audio, i installed mate as the desktop env and said yes to orca and rebooted and no audio

2019-02-18 23:54:13 (edited by Ethin 2019-02-19 00:33:10)

@45, yeah, I do need to fix that. Did you install fenrir and then enable the DE later? You can fix the audio by installing pulseaudio (if its not already installed), opening /etc/pulse/client.conf, and set autospawn to yes.

Update: Commit a4ada43 makes it possible for the installation program (in stage II) to set up pulseaudio automatically for you, and configures it to autospawn automatically when needed.

@44 I'd use the ISO to mount the filesystem and chroot back in, then install pulseaudio and as Ethin said, turn on autospawn, then reboot.

Bringing this topic back, doesn't look like the iso nor the git repository is online anymore.

2019-06-02 22:48:31 (edited by Ethin 2019-06-02 23:27:50)

@49, it still is, or should be. Git hub repo is at https://github.com/ethindp/arch-installer. Haven't worked on it in a while, adding something like manual partitioning will be a pain. tongue
