Install from Existing Linux#Method#Method 2: Direct bootstrapping Arch

Hello guys,

I try install archlinux from ubuntu. Everything works fine with the wiki description

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … _Archlinux

But after I try to install arduino with this guide

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … stallation

I can not use makepkg -s from the arduino directory:

$ makepkg -S
==> Making package: arduino 1:1.0.4-1 (Sun Apr  7 18:03:36 UTC 2013)
==> Retrieving sources...
  -> Found arduino-1.0.4-linux32.tgz
  -> Found arduino
  -> Found arduino.png
  -> Found arduino.desktop
==> Validating source files with md5sums...
    arduino-1.0.4-linux32.tgz ... Passed
    arduino ... Passed
    arduino.png ... Passed
    arduino.desktop ... Passed
==> Entering fakeroot environment...
fakeroot: FAKEROOTKEY set to 2084820466
fakeroot: nested operation not yet supported

Maybe I broke something ? I do not know. I want to use arduino to learn assembler. Can you give me a hint ? I search this forum and google for 2 hours.

so long

Re: Install from Existing Linux#Method#Method 2: Direct bootstrapping Arch

It looks like you are still inside the chroot environment you spawned from inside Ubuntu.  Have you booted into your real Arch Linux environment yet?

Asked another way, what kernel are you running ?(look at the output of uname -a )

Re: Install from Existing Linux#Method#Method 2: Direct bootstrapping Arch

With exception of method 4, all methods there are about entering into a chroot to install arch from there (on method 2, you use some non-official installation script instead of arch install scripts for that), and then you need to reboot to your new arch system.
I'm guessing that after installing the packages, you didn't rebooted to your new arch system, and tried to install arduino on the chroot instead.

"open source is about choice"
No.
Open source is about opening the source code complying with this conditions, period. The ability to choose among several packages is just a nice side effect.

Hello,

Yes, you are right. I am inside the chroot environment. I cannot see the archlinux installation after reboot. I tried another way from this guide

http://www.codeismight.com/2011/05/inst … usb-drive/

Unfortunately the command line inerface of grub returns unknown command grub. I ask help for a list of commands. There is no root command. And chroot /dev/sda1 do not work.

And chroot /dev/sda1 do not work.

You can not chroot into a partition. For the same reason you can not write files to a partition, because /dev/sda1 is not a filesystem. Mount the filesystem and use 'ls' to check if the archlinux installation looks ok at a first glance.
