It is a step helpful for the totally blind who are using the Talking Arch installation system. Without it, getting speech working reliably is complicated. Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 19, 2018, at 7:00 PM, Øyvind Heggstad wrote: > > On Sun, 18 Feb 2018 07:27:11 -0500 > Jude DaShiell wrote: >

Hello, Isn’t this what makepkg.conf is for? You can specify all the make options you’d want in there. Best, Zack. > On Dec 26, 2017, at 10:42 AM, Jeanette C. via arch-general > wrote: > > Hey hey, > is there a simple, systematic option to set make options for building AUR > packages, that ar

Hello, I think the boot menu will still appear, because the default boot entry just indicates which OS will be booted after the timeout. It doesn’t stop the menu from appearing, or you couldn’t pick another OS easily. Best, Zack. > On Nov 14, 2016, at 10:02 AM, Tung Anh Vu via arch-general > w

[arch-general] efivars mounted read-write, but "operation not permitted, "

2016-08-03 Thread Zachary Kline
Hi All, This is admittedly more about Linux in general than Arch specifically, but I’m wondering if anybody has insight into why I can’t delete EFI variables, when efivarfs is mounted read-write. For anybody interested, I am wanting to remove the default boot entry created by systemd-boot, but

Hi, The solution is to create the directory under /var which alsacrtl expects. I think it’s /var/run or /var/lock, but I don’t remember specifics and don’t have my machine in front of me at the moment. If you do that, alsactl store will work as expected. Best, Zack. > On Jul 6, 2016, at 9:58 P

Hi, Did your friend actually go through the process of installing Talking Arch? If so, espeakup should have been installed as one of the manual steps involved. If not, you need to do this yourself. It isn’t difficult, but you won’t have speech feedback obviously. Log in as root, and then run “p

[arch-general] Win10 Upgrade makes ArchLinux inaccessible?

2016-04-28 Thread Zachary Kline
Hi All, So my laptop upgraded to the latest version of Windows 10 recently, and this seems to have undone the hack of replacing the default bootx64.efi file. That is, the file is still SystemD’s boot loader, but somehow I’m back to only being able to boot Windows reliably. Has anyone else seen

Hi, I know this. :) The Xorg package doesn’t contain xinitrc. That’s in the xInit package. So pacman -S xinit, and it will be there. Best, Zack. > On Mar 17, 2016, at 9:12 PM, David C. Rankin > wrote: > > All, > > I'm working to setup fluxbox on a virtual arch install inside ESXI which I >

[arch-general] Turning off the screen for privacy

2016-03-15 Thread Zachary Kline
Hi All, One of the perks of being blind is that I don’t need the screen to work. I prefer to keep it off for privacy whenever possible. On earlier hardware, I used to be able to use the vbetool command to turn off the screen. Nowadays that seems no longer to work, “vbetool dpms off,” returns “i

Hi Murari, Thank you for this suggestion. It seems to have worked as expected. My laptop defaults to Arch, but I can boot Windows with the second entry. I hope I remember to upgrade the renamed image when systems-boot changes. I don’t anticipate that being too often, thankfully. Best and thanks

[arch-general] Win 10 Dual boot nightmare

2016-03-14 Thread Zachary Kline
Hi All, I’ve been a Linux user off and on for ten years or so, and over the past while really come to enjoy the simplicity of Arch. I decided to install on my new HP laptop which came pre-installed with Windows 10. I honestly almost feel like I preferred the BIOS/boot sector situation. I unde
