one of the best linux tutorials ive seen, simple, quick, concise
For anyone watching this in the future and getting errors in the xorgs-server-utils command. It has been removed now and replaced with xorgs-apps
So use the command: pacman -S xorg-server xorg-apps xorg-xinit
thanks :)
Pretty sure adding a specific user to the sudoers file isn't a great idea. Best to just add them to group wheel and uncomment the line below where you added yourself to give that group sudo permission.
can you tell people the specific command on how to do this? Thank you.
@@brandonholtz5309
instead of running the command he did in the video, run:
*useradd -m -g users -G wheel -s /bin/bash [username]"*
Replace [username] with your desired name
Then run _visudo,_ search for the the word "wheel" and uncomment the line that says "%wheel ALL = (ALL) ALL".
Why it is safer? If I don't want to add my user to that group (wheel) it should be exactly the same. Can you provide a better insight to this?
@@GooogleGoglee It's not less safe, it's just messier in my opinion.
@@ErikBoesen ok thanks.
I actually didn't know about this possibility and it may really turn out useful for specific case and actually for me
xorg-server-utils removed from official repositories
i used the xorg-apps instead.
You are right ,xorg-apps works . Cheers buddy.
whoa no way I've been waiting for this video forever!!
update /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist to fix the mirror list. Or better yet, use reflector to generate a mirrorlist of the best mirrors
This
To connect to wifi i'd suggest plugging in the installation usb and starting the system from there. Then install in the chroot with pacman -S the packages "dialog" and "wpa_supplicant" which are needed to use the wifi-menu command in the pc as well
I liked how you actually explained what’s going on. Thank you!
i've watched a lot of DE on Arch video.
this video is the most concise, to the point, video there is. Nice work!
need more video from you
Dude i wish i could click on that like button so many times.
Actually thank you for describing everything, it's actually the first time to understand the installation process.
If you have network issues in Virtualbox you can run 'ip adress' to find the name of your connection, then run dhcpcd
this also worked on VMware. thank you!
Keep up the Linux tutorials! You’re awesome man, I’ve learned so much in such a short time. I look forward to see some more Linux stuff. 👍🏻
Best tutorial on desktop environments so far👍🏻 very understandable :) thank you!
Agree
As far as I can read from the arch wiki, you only need mesa for an AMD gpu. Guessing thats because AMD pushes their drivers right into kernel space, but I could be wrong
How do I connect to the Internet
Lmao dude you sounded so tired when you came back from that last jump cut like "ok so that did take awhile..." Sounded like you took a nap.
Thank you so much! I tried many tutorials but only this one worked!
would be useful to list out the steps in your description, but helpful video for newbies like me
You shouldn't have Arch Linux if you're a newbie tho
Wow bro, this video is amazing, you just got a like and a new sub!
Seeking help with XRDP Arch Linux XFCE Installation and Setup (configuration files)
There was a problem with the connection I solve it with:
lspci -v
dhcpcd eth0
If your running it in virtual box you also have to do this but instead of eth0 its something weird so run this command lspci -v | more to find out what yours is called.
thanks this helped me, I had to also use -s to limit the list but it worked well!
just enable dhcpcd service 'systemctl enable dhcpcd'
Black DiamondPL thank you 🙏 that worked
@@siniarskimar for me it tells me it doesnt exists
Simple, informative and straightforward once again. Thank you!
xorg-server-utils was not a package and the whole xorg installation was an error
@@sourje2598 thhx
Great video, I was looking for this video, now I can install correctly kde
Thanks for the tutorial! You're a good man, despite your taste in Desktop Environments.... :)
OI! I like KDE You can customize the F**K out of it!
Now it's stuck after I entered my encryption password. Can't do anything. Switching TTY doesn't work either.
hm.. it gets stuck at "Reached target Graphical Interface"...
I've reinstalled arch twice now. I am using VirtualBox. When I go to run pacman -S xorg-server xorg-apps xorg-xinit it runs a whole bunch of lines of code (checking mirrors) before it ends with "error: failed to commit transaction (download library error) Errors occurred, no packages were updated
GibbonsBoySporting I got the same message
If your using a wifi connection you probably didn't install the drivers you needed :/
had the same error fixed it by typing dhcpcd to start the service dont know why it wasn't running by default
Dhcpcd works
your direction is best for a beginner, Thanks.
good video however when you install xfc4 you also need the lightdm-greeter package you need to mention that otherwise you are going to have errors.
Very good and informational video, just one piece of knowledge xorg server utils are discontinued
Thanks man! I love how you don't waste time with a bunch of bs. You just blaze right through it and it worked. I've had Arch 2018 installed twice on HD all the way to having my user added and each time I've attempted adding a desktop environment the system becomes unbootable.
I wonder if installing all of the video drivers is doing it? I noticed you only downloaded the one Vesa driver.
Did you download a Virtualbox version of Arch? My 2018 Arch iso will not boot in VB.
This along with your arch install video is very logical to every install, even windows. Only a few extra things differ, plus obviously the command line, which is the hardest part.
If you have several desktops installed and just say you want to log into openbox, how do you keep from loading programs that won't run in openbox or loading programs twice? Thanks
Thank you so much for this video.
Im running this from a desktop connected to a samsung smart tv and while trying to boot sddm the tv gives me a message about the resolution being wrong and that it needs to be changed in the computer. Any idea where the configs are
Which one of the commands is responsible for the desktop environment to start automatically on bootup?
"failed to start light display manager"
please help...
i installed light display manager and systemctl enabled it so is should be working but every time i boot it. it fails and im not sure how to fix it
Great! Very helpful when I was stuck.
Very well done tutorial. You sir, are a pro.
2018 updates: 1) update pacman (pacman -Sy)
use to have no issues installing arch or anything... now all the packages are moved around... its all messed... installed xorg and all its packages and it just freezes when it tries to start any display manager. doesn't matter if its lxdm, sddm w/e... greezes on "[ok] reached graphical user interface"... no meaningful information in xorg.0.log or lxdm.log or anything...
Does this work when booting of of a USB drive? Or does linux have to be running natively
Great tut! How to install multiple desktop environments that gives an option to choose from before logging in? I have Arch with Gnome, but I want KDE as well when I feel like some days
Instead of Enter a number (default=1): I get Enter a selection and it won't let me do anything send help ok thanks
i fixed the driver issue after reading the comments. But I didn't end up with any applications when I logged in ???
hey I am doing this in VirtuelBox do I need virtuel-guest for it to work ? I installed all the graphics drivers still doesnt work.
Try increasing graphics memory. Somewhere around 750 MB should be enough for most enviroments
@@siniarskimar yeah thanks I got it
When doing the last command it says failed to create mount unit file as it already exists. Any help?
Thanks man! Helped me a lot :)
How can I install the proper drivers for Intel hd graphics 620 kaby lake??
Thanks a lot, this is a very educating video.
So mine works and the desktop login pops up but I’m not given the option to select a user and enter a password? There’s just a blank...Anyone able to help? Is there a way to go back to the original screen before it automatically starting up?
I am not connected to the intenet before downloading the display drivers
There is no need to add "exec kde-desktop" to ~/.xinitrc?
You are awesome! Great tutorial.
Great video! But I ran into problems. I followed your steps, everything seemed to be working fine, and then reboot and bam: can't find /init and the system cannot boot at all. I think I will have start from scratch and find some other desktop solution.
I installed gnome on arch in a vm but terminal won't open, everything else seems to work tho
Thank you, very useful, can you make one with installing procedure for Wayland graphics server?
After the installation and the command „systemctl enable sdnn“ it says „Unit file sdnn.service does not exist.“
Is there a proper tutorial somewhere on how to customize or create themes for sddm? Even a webpage tutorial would be fine. Cause I'm not getting anything anywhere to understand how to make or customize the themes.
This one worked for me thanks a lot
with no error at all
im getting black screen after boot
i can move the mouse but nothing....
For the graphics driver though, what do i for an installation in a VMware Workstation virtual machine?
xf86-video-vmware different driver name pretty much the same thing.
If you use WiFi for downloading, it won't be available after 1st boot, you need 'dialog'. To download it, just tether your android.
Why i don't have Internet after installing kde
run dhcpd
Cause
Why is downloading so slow, the speed can't go beyond 70kb/sec it's frustrating.
How much disk space do you need for this?
Great tutorial! Thanks!
Thanks dude, really helped
arch doesnt want to install anything due to no internet, but i am using ethernet and it just worked when i was installing arch so if someone could help thatd be nice
would someone explain the difference between sysytemctl enable [pick your display] manager and startx?
No matter what I do, startx does not work, but systemctl enable lxdm does work.
you need to edit or add .xinitrc n your home directory i you want to use startx to run from command-line. KDE for one uses "exec startkde". Refer to arch wiki for others.
sddm didnt work for me and some others for kde
Mine says "no database file for" then it lists 3 directories: core, extra and community
After installation it gave me a bunch of corrupted or invalid files(like 16 of them) and it doesn't come to the desktop environment when I reboot
EDIT: ok now it just shows the login screen for plasma but there is no text
My Ethernet was down in VM when I tried out installing xorg. I resolved it looking for the interface name with $ lspci -v | more, then $ dmesg | grep e1000, which was the name of the driver. Finally I set the interface doing $ dhcpcd enpSoE
"[2.716041] piix4_smbus 0000:00:07.3: SMBUS base address uninitialized -
Upgrade BIOS or use force_addr=0xaddr " is keep blinking while start booting in Hyper-V. I couldnt find the solution yet bc Every solution is like "Write terminal the following command ...." :@!
visudo is not recognized and there is no /etc/sudoers file/directory
xorg-server-utils cannot be found and xorg-xinit has errors and will not install, gdm doesn't work either, kde-applications has conflicts
First install sudo, from pacman, then install xorg-apps since xorg-server-utils has been deprecated, then try the whole thing again
Now I'm at the login page but my user id seems not enabled and couldn't able to log in.. help me
How to set XFCE display manager ?
What i have to write for i3wm?
Thanks. Very helpful.
Yesss first comment haha betchs can't wait to learn this tech stuff man good stuff so glad u back pls don't leave again I don't want to watch big meaty claws over and over again
The Nouveau drivers for nvidia leaves my screen blank and with a bunch of grainy pixels on my screen, I think this is a new problem with the GPU I'm using so I would need to install the proprietary drivers that nvidia offer in order for it to work properly :(
I have a similar problem, screen is black and only the mouse is showing, I tried removing the nouveau driver and use the generic one, but didn't work. Also added the sddm to the video group (as recommended in a YT video) didn't work either... It's always a problem with graphic cards.
When I try to install xorg, the error that I get is "error: failed retrieving file 'x' from y : Could not resolve host: y" it repeats in every mirror for the file x, then there's a warning saying "failed to retrieve some files" and it jumps to the next file.
I connected to my wifi connection when i was installing arch linux, so I suppose I am connected to the internet. I tried to reconnect using the 'wifi-menu' command and it says "Please install 'dialog' to use wifi-menu", ok i'll install that, so I entered 'pacman -S dialog' and got the same error that I got with xorg...
I've actually gave up and went back to Ubuntu... But thanks for the answer, I've saw that somewhere but it was like "boot the pendrive and mount something" and I didn't know how to, so your answer is very helpful, maybe I'll try to install Arch along with Ubuntu :)
very nicely explained
*5:36** there is also xf86-video-ati*
if you lose internet after reboot type in command dhcpcd and it will reconnect, unfortunately you will not find this solution anywhere else people will bombard you with useless links, also try enabling eth0 first
if visudo command not found install sudo with pacman -S sudo
What about hibernation. That does not come by default. You need to configure that by yourself. It would be nice to make a tutorial on that.
This was awesome!
Excellent. Thank you.
If you can't run Visudo command it's because Sudo isn't installed. run: pacman -S sudo to install it (run wifi-menu first to setup wifi access).
I have not installed Arch yet but there is better alternative in the comments, I think. Instead of editing a file, execute "usermod -a -G wheel {user}". This command just add your user to "wheel" group.
Well done, very helpfull
Did you show us how to install Cinnamon Desktop Enviroment? Or i didn't see that?
TY dude, this tutorial leads me to a black screen
That's the Arch linux welcome screen.
When I have to enter username ALL=(ALL) ALL, my keyboards always turns crazy, I'm not able to enter a word, cursor just behaves weird, deleting characters or moving to the end of all text. I've installed Arch Linux succesfully fourth time by the 1st video but I can't install the Desktop Environment.

This is because the command you use to open that document uses the text editor Vi. You may want to check how that text editor works in order to get it right. The shortcuts used within Vi is not like, say nano.
when i try to install the xorg-server, zhe xorg-apps and the xorg-innit i get the message:
warning: failed to retrieve some files
error: failed to complete transaction (download library error)
Errors occurred, no packages upgraded.
Does anyone know what to do?
are you connected to the internet?
Can you do a tutorial for Windows Manager?
viudo does not work for me
.well, it's visudo, and you should install it if it is not already in your system
hmm I dont seem to be able to install any of the drivers
