I can seed for the foreseeable future. 25Mb/s upload.
I'll see about it when I get home later this evening. HTH.

Thanks for the torrents! I'm seeding i686 and leeching 64bit (at the moment).

ArchBang installs to ram in 6+ seconds.in 2.0 version.

akurei · 2010-03-02 00:08:36

My new netbook (sadly an intel atom one) arrives today.
I will test archbang on that extensively

If you guys need any more help, let me know.

Having trouble with the installer. I get the same error that the installer can't format or mount the file system on my HD. I tried both auto and manual partioning and manual mounting the file system using cfdisk. I have a Toshiba Satelitte L505 with a AMD Turion X2 4GB of ram and a ATI 4200HD graphics card. I have to turn my acpi off when I boot any Linux distro could this be the problem?

IWANTTOGIVEYOUABIGHUG!

Well done Will and whoever helped in this. Great work, quick easy settup I now have Arch!

Great, hours of tweaking ahead of me

Just have to get the ******* wifi working now, see you later!

Cheers.

Perhaps. I have not touched partitioning functions or anything, they are same as Arch's. I don't know why this is happening. Will take a look into it. Meanwhile, test with acpi=off. No clue if that solves anything!

asheguy79 · 2010-03-02 03:50:22

SHY
I have tried it with acpi=off and I still get the same error. I have to use acpi=off anyway, I think my laptop motherboard and the current kernel don't play well togeather. It is all good though I can still run 1.05 off a pin drive until we get this worked out. Will and you have done a great job on this project and I am very happy that it came out right before I started using Awesome, I was not looking foreward to learning Lua. Learning Python, Ruby, Mono, and Shell Scripting right now so it has saved me from one more.

Hi,

I am running 64-bit version under VirtualBox. After installing it to VB hd I've installed/updated kernel26-headers in order to use vbox tools and run VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run. It went smoothly and I can move mouse in and out. How can I get larger window desktop screen? I am using 23 " lcd monitor. When using ArchLinux as another VM I can drag both sides of window desktop and get it larger or smaller.

Thanks.

Mr Green · 2010-03-02 06:23:29

Never managed to get change desktop size in Virtualbox...when running Linux Virtual Machine... will have to find out how

Did have problems with installer partitioning was fine but got errors when formatting them.... in the end I just formatted from a terminal and then set mount points in installer and went from there...

I got some errors when trying to run the 64bit LiveCD.

It turned out that the CD was the problem, so I've deleted the errors that were in this post as they are inconsequential, thankfully.

handy,

thanks a lot for testing for us!
Does the failsafevesa not work either? How do you generally fix your issue with Arch?

I'm used to working in the dark, with just my monitor on.

Anyway, I just had a good look at the surface of the CD & it is scratched.

So I'm in the process of burning a new one, (the MD5sum checked out ok by the way).

I think I won't have all of those problems, I'll let you know soon.

[Edit:] As far as how I generally fix my issues with Arch? Downgrade package(s), alter config files, at worst have to boot with the Arch install disk & chroot to intall a package one way or another, or edit config, I think that's it from memory.

I've just booted into the ArchBang Openbox GUI.

Just had a quick look at the menu, but haven't really checked it out yet.

It looks great though.

I'll go over to the UF & clean up in that other thread, I don't want you to be getting any unfavourable publicity.

Thanks again & sorry for the hiccup.

I cannot create / and /home with JFS filesystem in the installer
ext4 works fine, though.
wlan0 is shown, but not working properly (some Broadcom chip... BCM4312)

Did you try loading the jfs module(s)?

Fackamato · 2010-03-02 19:26:30

Nice work. Things I miss: sshd, ntfs-3g (useful for backup purposes).

I think you should upgrade all the packages before -final (~15 or so?), including NVIDIA, gparted, parted, etc.

Nope, but it was a quick try-n-run for me anyway. The fun starts tomorrow, when I have enough time to install it on my netbook Will try and load jfs manually then.

discovery · 2010-03-02 23:35:49

I agree. Please include ntfs-3g by default as it would help many users that dual boot.

thehopper · 2010-03-03 02:35:30

Just wanted to let you guys know that I tested Archbang and reviewed it www.linuxfoundry.org

sHyLoCk · 2010-03-03 03:07:46

Guys those who are reporting bugs, I request you to also mention how you fix your problem with Arch Linux.
Thanks again for all the testing!

Hello

I tried archbang-2.00-RC1-x86_64.iso to my Dell notebook that has a SATA hard drive and can only get the splash screen to choose Archbang, Archbang [intel], ArchBang [failsafevesa], Memory tester. My laptop works with AMD Turion 64.

After selecting ArchBang as the first option presented initramfs Loading, Starting udevd ... done and then Buffer I / O error on device sr0, logical block 1048576, and a sequence of block addresses until the final message ERROR: boot device did not show up after 30 seconds.

On my desktop, that also uses a DVD / CD-RW SATA like, the same type of error is presented.

Already tested two types of recording on 2 different CDs. The iso image is perfect because I can install ArchBang 2:00 RC1 using VirtualBox.

Sorry but I don't know how to fix it.

Mr Green · 2010-03-03 21:02:20

@csat you tried iso on a pendrive only does not follow that VB works and cd does not....

secdroid · 2010-03-03 21:19:48

Intel graphics tests on a Dell Inspiron 530, Celeron 450 single-core 2.2 GHz, 2 GB RAM, Intel 82G33/31 onboard VGA.

Boot tests (no user boot options added), Live CD mode from CDROM --
-- Default - Dumped at console login, no X
-- Intel option - Working X, no issues, Firefox, Flash, sound, networking all OK (no SLIM login screen; may be normal)
-- Failsafe VESA option - Working X, didn't test much as resolution was set too high (overscan) for CRT in use (again, no SLIM)

Note: Xorg does not correctly detect the capabilities of the CRT in use on any modern Linux distro. I was amazed to have a good desktop default when booting the Intel Live CD option. The Failsafe VESA produced the sort of "too high" resolution setting I am used to seeing from Ubuntu, etc.

Note: My memory may be failing me, but I thought that there was a menu option in a previous version of ArchBang that let me set the resoultion back to 1024x768x60Hz. I may be confusing that with one of my other distro-hopping experiments, but I could not find an option that let me do it with ArchBang 2.0 RC1.

Didn't test install. Will wait until it is a bit more mature.

FWIW: I hate the default theme. IIRC, I liked the one on the previous version...

I've never tried it out on a pendrive. My VB is running on Win7 64-bit.
