Re: The Dark Side :Arch Linux

Just gentoo needs kernel to be compiled, but you have gen-kernel script for automatically building that too, if you prefer.

Re: The Dark Side :Arch Linux

internet is slow on arch.
i checked the FAQ, its says you have not set the hostname right.

secondly, why i have to set my wifi connection on every boot?
RC.conf
*docs.google.com/Doc?id=dhg42zjq_5gs4xtbdq

/etc/hosts
*rafb.net/p/VqTnYX61.html

[gary4gar@moody ~]$ hostname
moody

[gary4gar@moody ~]$ hostname -f
localhost.localdomain

Re: The Dark Side :Arch Linux

Can't you search for a small thing? I pointed out to you where the problem is, what the problem is, and also told you to find about fqdn,
Read this *www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1178.html or *tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1178

Make sure that your hostname is correctly set in /etc/hosts i.e., that it matches the hostname in /etc/rc.conf.

What do you mean by setting up wifi on every boot ? how do you do that on every boot ?

Re: The Dark Side :Arch Linux

I have checked it, its correcty set.
still my my net is slow.

regarding wifi,
on every boot i have set essid and other things. also the network demon delays the boot process for 10secs. after it says "timed out".

Are you sure the issue is related to hostname ?

I had a similar issue. I just set the connection to use a random static IP. This happens because it looks to get an IP using dhcp and waits till either it gets one or times out. Set it to static to eliminate the 10 secs delay problem.

Regarding the main issue, I dont use wifi connection on my arch. However, have you tried using Network Manager instead of the default network daemon ?

Try if this helps:
*wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Networkmanager

If you have checked it then pastebin your hosts file and your rc.conf file.

Re: The Dark Side :Arch Linux

How about searching for things once in a while? A simple search for keyword "wireless" on the arch wiki returns - *wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless
And here's your answer *wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless#.2Fetc.2Frc.conf
It also gives you alternate suggestions.

Code:
#<ip-address>	<hostname.domain.org>	<hostname>
127.0.0.1		localhost.localdomain localhost	moody
As said on IRC change this to the correct names and you should be good to go :). Im posting this here so it might help someone else later.
