RbPi Archlinux setup

After a fresh image:

• attach ethernet cable, hdmi, keyboard, mouse, power
• login as root:root

Setup Wifi and/or Ethernet:

• Ethernet
  • add a "TimeoutDHCP=20" option to the end of the /etc/netctl/ethernet-dhcp file
• Wifi
  • append to /etc/../wpa_supplicant.conf:
  • network={
  • ssid="wifi_name"
  • psk="wifi_key"
  • }
  • /usr/bin/ip link set wlan0 up
  • /usr/bin/wpa_supplicant -B -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext
  • /usr/bin/dhcpcd wlan0

Update package manager:

• pacman -Syu

OPTIONAL: Audio, although its kind of crappy to use audio out:

• install and setup audio output:pacman -S alsa-utils alsa-firmware alsa-lib alsa-plugins
• set output to audio out: amixer cset numid=3 1
• 0 for auto, 3 for hdmi

Install other required software:

• pacman -Sy python2
• pacman -Sy git

TODO: Grab code from git which could do the rest of the setup

TODO: Enter personalized configuration

Create a rc.local in /etc:

/usr/bin/sleep 10
