discipulus [EDIT: OK so the sound issue CAN be resolved by running 'pulseaudio --start' ... So for now, it's just the pamac/octopi issue ] This was my second installation. Parameters were identical to the first. 1. A brief word about the first. After entering password, there was no splash screen, just a black emptiness and a cursor (that could be moved). Waiting did not produce any results. I tried rebooting a few times but it did not boot into DE. So a failed installation altogether. 2. The 2nd installation seems to be complete, but not in terms of software. The icons on the taskbar were just ghosts. One was Discover, as I could tell from the tooltip, not present (was this intended?) and the other two were most likely for Firefox and perhaps another app not included in the Obarun repos. More importantly, sound is not automatically configured. No devices are shown in 'Configure Audio Devices', and volume icon shows muted. Funnily enough, sound plays, but volume cannot be controlled, so some kind of software integration or setting is clearly setup wrong by the installed system. Most pressing is the need for a functioning GUI package manager. Pamac, preferably. Or Octopi as 2nd choice. I like systemd-free-ness and I like the speed of boot, and the overall philosophy of the project. It would be a shame if I cannot get these things working - - - Oh ,for Eric, who asked about this, here is the information you wanted: ob@ ob ~ % 66-intree -g Name : ob Initialized : yes Enabled : yes Starts after : None Current : yes Allowed : ob Symlinks : svc->source db->source Contents : / ├─(up,Enabled,oneshot) xdg-user-dirs ├─(919,Enabled,longrun) dbus-session@ ob-log └─(923,Enabled,longrun) dbus-session@ ob
eric I asked for the output of 66-intree with root and regular user so: % 66-intree -zg % sudo 66-intree -zg I also asked for your pacman.conf file. % pacman-conf Please use code tag when you post console relative things, thanks.
