Re: problem with network in arch linux

donno.kdemod means kde in modular form,ie,u install only needed packages,not whole kde mess!

Re: problem with network in arch linux

alsa not workin on intel hidef audio.

alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed

jus checked.kdemod is ~400mb install.so have to install it in the happy hours.

Re: problem with network in arch linux

u have to modprobe necessary modules.that u can find it via
"lsmod" command in ur Ubuntu or any livecd which detects ur audio.
BTW,just found my archlinux went corrupt,have to reinstall as UPS failed when power went off and now arch is complaining that only read is allowed

Re: problem with network in arch linux

Maybe you just need to remount it as ro in single user mode and run fsck to correct errors.
fsck -y should help if there are too many errors.

Re: problem with network in arch linux

^I had already tried fsck -fvy via my Debian Sid.arch simply failed.

Re: problem with network in arch linux

Abhinandh can you post an installation guide.. I mean installing all that stuff like X11 and all.. I installed Arch but there was nothing I had to compile everything by my own but I didn't knew a single command

donno.kdemod means kde in modular form,ie,u install only needed packages,not whole kde mess!

You 1'st have to install KDE then one will install KDE Mod.. ALso I can configure my Kubuntu better than KDE Mod.. Or same just like KDE mod Like same translucent panel and all

Re: problem with network in arch linux

^but they(kdemod) asked first to purge all ur kde,qt libs before going for kdemod.check their page

Re: problem with network in arch linux

________________________________
OK.finished installing archlinux(Arch Linux (Core Dump) as per /etc/issue) with kdemod 8) .it was a PITA with night bb getting as low as 11KB/s speeds
now everything is fine.below is my screenshot of default(wallpaper changed) installation.yeah,I am very new to kde yes,it is kdemod,thanks to the devels for that!where is @darkstar ?
*img6.uploadhouse.com/fileuploads/1394/1394831-holder-3e257940fc61d8f8d28d5cc97f7539dd.jpg

aur haan-it is booting very fast much faster than ubuntu gutsy,a bit faster than my stock Debian Sid :
I am gonna try kde for some time.too much accustomed with Gnome

pacman is a good package manager.there may be gui frontends,but I have not tried.mirrors are painfullly slow at Happy hours.
@abhinandh:there is some bugs in new installation:
u have to "chmod 1777 /tmp" ur directory and edit /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and in bottom,correct the entry as:

 Setup-Entry
Server = *mirror.neotuli.net/arch/$repo/os/i686

I am using firefox3beta from their repositories.there are lot of user built packages available along with ABS(yet to try!).

a perfect kde distro(better than suse!)

Re: problem with network in arch linux

great prakash.me gettin good speeds ~205 from Australia mirrors(after rankmirrors script).i installed kdemod too.it's better than stock kde.

@darkstar, try this guide.it is fairly simple.
*wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners_Guide

prakash, usin i686 or x86_64?me using x86_64.

 

[Dark Star]

Re: problem with network in arch linux

It seems like I have to use ARCH with KDE Mod after my boards.. and parka what do you suggest me for my laptop that I am gong to buy XPS 1530 ? Arch or Hardy ? Though I will learn Arch on my desktop 1'st

@Abhi .. arrey bhai I knew about that guide I just don't have my printer wires so that I can print it

OK.I found that dataone is very slow during happy hours!badluck

I am on a old p4 2.8Ghz HT obviously using i686.
for other archlinux(anyone?) users benefit,below is the packages I had installed.remember,I havent installed kde,after ftp install of core,I installed X,then kdemod:
*rafb.net/p/dHWfrI98.html

@shashwath:some patience is needed if u install and configure archlinux .I suggest Ubuntu for the easiness.may be hardy heron will fit fine for u,although it will bundle old version of kde(no kde4 afaik).

archlinux-once configured is -rocking!


BTW,I am taking back my words on slow bloatin kde after experiencing kdemod

Dude, you could've just used some pastebin and posted the link instead of messing up the thread.
