  • install to usb
    • insert usb
    • lsblk (alt: df)
      • ➔ usb = sda
    • sudo dd bs=4M if=archlinux-2024.04.01-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sda status=progress oflag=sync
      • troubleshooting
        • error: dd: failed to open '/dev/sda': Device or resource busy
        • solution: using gparted, you can reformat the drive (from fat32) to ext4, then try again

step two :: boot the iso

  • boot the target system using the arch iso, and prepare for a guided install
    • tuxwarrior: F2 for BIOS
    • thinkpad: F12 for boot options (F1 for BIOS)
  • select ArchLinux install medium (x86_64, x64 UEFI)
    • troubleshooting
      • grub error
        • error: you need to load the kernel first
        • error start_image() returned 0x800000000000001
        • solution
          • reinstall iso on usb
      • arch iso error
        • squashfs error unable to read
        • solution
          • re-install the ISO on another USB device

step three :: generate config for new hosts

  • on new host:
  • archinstall --dry-run
    • install language: english (default)
    • mirrors: colombia, united states, worldwide
    • locales: keyboard us, loc lang en_AU.UTF-8, loc enc UTF-8
    • disk config: use a best-effort default partition layout ➔ pick main hd ➔ btrfs ➔ default structure yes ➔ compression or disable Cow ESC (do not)
    • disk encryption: no (default)
    • bootloader: systemd-boot (default)
    • unified kernel image: False (default)
    • swap: True (default)
    • hostname: tuxwarrior
    • root password: leave blank (default)
    • user account: leave empty (default)
    • profile: type ➔ minimal
    • audio: pipewire
    • kernels: linux (default)
    • additional packages: git nano tree wget
    • network configuration: Use NetworkManager
    • timezone: America/Panama
    • Automatic time sync: True (default)
    • Optional repositories: leave blank (default)

    • Save configuration

      • Save user configuration (inc disk layout)

      • Save directory: /tmp ➔ yes
  • curl -F'file=@user_configuration.json' https://0x0.st
  • on existing host:
  • for this repo, inside dots/archinstall create folder for new host (use hostname as folder name)
    • open page given above, like https://0x0.st/Xbov.json
    • save raw content as user_configuration.json
    • (change gfx_driver value from null to Nvidia (proprietary)) - not needed, i think
    • save file
  • from a pre-existing host directory, copy over and modify (if needed) options.sh, packages.txt and services.txt. this should be copied to new host directory
    • example: copied from dots/archinstall/t470p to dots/archinstall/tuxwarrior
  • commit changes to this repo, adding the new host files

step four :: arch install :: the basics

  • ip link
    • lo (loopback - special device)
    • enp0s31f6 (ethernet)
    • wlan0 (wifi)
  • iwctl
    • station wlan0 scan
    • station wlan0 get-networks
    • station wlan0 connect -_-
    • exit
  • cd /tmp
  • curl -L -O https://git.mz.fo/fro/lnx-arch/raw/branch/master/scripts/archinstall_config_download.sh
    • (-L to follow redirects, -O to save to disk)
  • chmod 755 archinstall_config_download.sh
  • cat archinstall_config_download.sh
  • ./archinstall_config_download.sh
    • hostname: tuxwarrior
    • password: [poq.L2]
    • make sure both user .json files have been downloaded and updated
      • two files should be listed: user_configuration.json and user_credentials.json
      • check datestamp shown at the end when running the script
  • archinstall --config user_configuration.json --creds user_credentials.json
    • Install

    • Would you like to chroot into ... perform post-installation config?

      • no
    • reboot

step five :: arch install :: software & dot files (dots)

  • log in as poq
  • nmtui (activate internet connection)
  • set up curae (system tool)
    • cd /tmp
    • wget https://git.mz.fo/fro/lnx-arch/raw/branch/master/scripts/curae_setup.sh
    • cat curae_setup.sh ➔ verify the file content
    • chmod 755 curae_setup.sh
    • sudo ./curae_setup.sh
  • sudo curae yay (install yay, which is used to install aur packages)
  • sudo curae uf (full update, install packages)
    • same as running the two commands:
    • sudo curae sw
    • sudo curae dots
  • sudo curae dots+ (download wallpapers, fonts++)
  • sudo ufw enable (enable firewall)
  • reboot & re-login
  • startx (start window manager)
  • several windows will start, and in the background there will be a window where you are asked to set password for the gnome keyring
    • the gnome keyring window will always be in focus, and there is no way to close the other windows while this is happening
    • press escape to close the gnome window
    • close the pCloudDrive, Nextcloud and ProtonVPN windows
  • open and close firefox to have firefox's profile directory being created
    • start firefox (SUP + D ➔ firefox)
    • close firefox
  • open the terminal (SUP + Enter)
  • create local sync folder for nextcloud
    • local folder must match $SYNCDIR_HOSTNAME in dots/environment/environment
      • t470p: mkdir /home/poq/nextcloud
      • tuxwarrior: mkdir /home/poq/nextcloud
  • curae sw (install sw that were not installed first time around - not sure why not all sw is installed the first time around)
  • curae dots (the re-run of dots will deploy firefox settings)
  • curae services (enable services)
  • reboot & re-login
  • once again, press esc to close the gnome keyring window
    • leave the other windows open
  • open firefox and log into bitwarden.com
    • here you will find the needed usernames, passwords and one time codes for logging into the below mentioned applications
  • set up pCloud
    • log in
    • the first time login process takes quite a while
  • set up protonvpn
    • log in (but wait with enabling vpn until nextcloud has completed syncing)
  • set up nextcloud
    • log in
      • server address: https://nx.mz.fo
      • at this point the gnome keyring manager will pop up again, and ask for a password
        • leave both (password and confirm) fields blank, and press continue, and chose to store passwords unencrypted
    • pick local folder (created above, like /home/poq/nextcloud), and
    • choose Synchronize everything from server
      • and disable the two options Ask before syncing folders larger than xxx and Ask before syncing external storages
    • click Connect
  • wait for nextcloud to complete syncronisation
    • this will likely take a few days, depending on the internet speed and the amount of data stored with nextcloud

step six :: post syncronisation tasks

  • syncDirSetup.sh (will set up ~/syncDir)
  • mountDownloadsDir.sh (will mount ~/Downloads to syncDir's download dir)
  • deploySshKeys.sh (deployment of ssh keys)
  • importGnupgKeys.sh (deployment of gnupgp keys)
  • reboot and re-login

step seven :: nvidia

if the system runs nvidia, follow the steps in nvidia.md to set up the nvidia driver.

step eight :: post installation tasks

  • vscodium
    • open workspace :: open all active projects
    • file > open workspace from file > /home/poq/syncDir/gitRepos/git.mz.fo/fiodb/db/workspaces/vscodium/one.code-workspace
    • several .sh files might be flagged as modified (in gitkraken they will show up as file mode changes from 14001 to 217, which means from chmod 755 to 644), then you can fix this running the command chmodAllSh.sh.
    • settings sync :: download syncronised setting++
    • file > preferences > extension > search for and install settings sync
  • gitkraken
    • preferences > integrations > connect to gitlab
    • preferences > ssh > uncheck use local ssh agent
    • preferences > ui customization > theme: gitkraken dark - high contrast
    • register fingerprint for ssh key(s)
      • if the ssh key for a git repo has never been used, the ssh connection will fail as the key is not yet registered.
      • $ ssh git@git.mz.fo -p 2002
      • Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes
  • firefox
    • settings > select the option to set firefox as default browser
    • extensions icon > manage extensions > themes > enable theme activist - bold
    • install dictionaries for
    • update singlefile name format (extension icon > manage extensions > extensions > singlefile > preferences > file format):
      • old: %if-empty<{page-title}|No title> ({date-locale} {time-locale}).{filename-extension}
      • new: {year-locale}{month-locale}{day-locale}_{url-href-flat}_.{filename-extension}
