I was having a hard time deciding on whether to use group xorg. I solved that problem by following that particular step. On Daemon example you have a hypen and not an = sign, as I have on my archlinux example. But I used Nano editor, so maybe that is the reason for the difference. I thought, I had added a group during initial configuration, so I skipped that step too. Still I like the step by step breakdown. It makes it much easier for a newbie to arch linux.

I am using plain KDE, i used KDEMOD for a while but found not much difference (maybe it ate even less memory? ). For now it is quite stable but i get the bug with dolphin where it stalls for couple of seconds.
Had some problems with shaman from kdemod repo but i went back to plain KDE from official Arch repo since KDE 4.4 is so near

In Arch Linux instead of editing /etc/inittab simply add kdm to DAEMONS in /etc/rc.conf:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond hal kdm)

This solution is much better…

THANK YOU SO MUCH, I’ve tried installing Arch bout 10x over the past 2 months, even printed out the 80+ page install manual, beginners guide and some “tips and tricks” from other sites.. and still had SOOOOOOO many problems.. at various times, either something was “missing”, my typing was wrong, syntax, missed something small, whatever it was, (of course i’m sure it’s NOT arch’s fault) but your post here, got me thru to installing a complete arch system.. but.. it was a LONG TIME (*HOURS) and i have broadband, triplecore 2.1ghz, 4gigs ram, 500gig hd, etc. and it was alot more “work” to get everythign the way I like it.. and in my opinion (ill get flamed for this) Kubuntu 9.10 w/lotsa tweaks (from other sites ive found) FLIES on this machine, while Arch was just “responsive” so after all these tries , lots of cursing, etc, I finally got arch on here, read the wikis, forums, etc.. and was not impressed as I thought it would be.. (kinda a let down really, kind of like the movie “the Knowing” when i got to the ending, i was what the heck? give me my time back) so back to kubuntu 9.10 (made a remastersys dvd user backup) and voila here I am.. I’m sure its an amazing distro, maybe I needed to read more, or dig deeper into tweaks, speed optimizing, etc.. Thanks for your post, its the ONLY advice that EVER worked (beats “you arent ready for arch, you don’t deserve arch, go back to ubuntu, read the manual, read the wiki, use google and the tirade of other elitist remarks I’ve received in the forums, IRC etc)Thanks again!!!

Hey Bender,

Awesome news. Although I run Arch Linux on a computer at home my primary work computer is still openSUSE, although I’ve considered switching just the fun of it.

Biggest thing is the rolling updates.. I haven’t yet used Arch long enough at home to convince me to run my daily used machine at work that the rolling updates won’t break my machine.

Although.. On my daily use work machine with openSUSE, I use the Factory KDE Repositories )

I’m interested in knowing what DE you’re using on your Arch Linux installation.

Ben, it is great seeing an Arch linux tutorial here

I switched 2 days ago from openSUSE to Arch linux and i will be staying with that distro for as long as possible, fast, eats less memory than the same setup of running applications in openSUSE 11.2, i got plymouth at bootup with nvidia proprietary drivers, and the pacman, one of the greatest package managers out there.

I recommend arch to everyone except newbies since there is some setting up at the beginning.

I prefer nano instead of vi. It’s really simplier, because you can simply type and navigate like in a graphical editor.
Second, a pacman -Su should be used to update all packeges, when Arch wasn’t installed through a net install.
