Re: The Dark Side :Arch Linux
here is my simple .bashrc
a bit Debian Specific one too
@metalgowtham : I am no expert with kde! well ,I remember you used to think kdemod as some other DE or on the same line... thats why..
here is my simple .bashrc

# check the window size after each command and, if necessary,
# update the values of LINES and COLUMNS.
shopt -s checkwinsize
# make less more friendly for non-text input files, see lesspipe(1)

startx is usually the command to start the basic X. But if you want GNOME/KDE/Etc you have to install them first and then startx with their settings set.

^edit /etc/rc.conf .archwiki explains it perfectly and make sure you have xdm/gdm/kdm any of which are installed.

Re: The Dark Side :Arch Linux
add kdm to the daemon lists in rc.conf (/etc/rc.conf)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network !netfs crond @hal @fam kdm @alsa)
remember to install kdm, check if its already installed or not.

kdm I believe gets installed with the KDEMod package you choosed to install you need not install kdm by itself from the repos.

Re: The Dark Side :Arch Linux
kdm is already installed. Just do a nano /etc/rc.conf and press down button till you see the daemons section. There, along with those daemons shown within braces, add the word , kdm and everything should be done. You will boot next in KDM directly, bypassing the extremely cool looking console and going to the extremely beautiful looking KDM.

Re: The Dark Side :Arch Linux
^TBH i have already setup Arch the way i wanted and no bloat.
Can anybody tell me how to search about packages in pacman? If i dont know the exact package name then how to search? Any GUI of pacman? Just curious.
I had to be root to connect through pppoe-start/stop, so how can i issue such commands under normal users? I searched in /sbin and /usr/sbin for them but its not there.

Re: The Dark Side :Arch Linux
pacman -Qs package
Change the package name to whatever you are searching for. You can install a GUI front end if you want but I prefer using the CLI for this for some odd reason.
I installed sudo and just added my user to the sudoers list.

Many . Check the wiki or the first post on this thread . It should be in there.

Try out Shaman. Its pretty cool. You can install it using yaourt
The best option to automatically start your net connection would be to add "adsl" to the daemons section of rc.conf!
