[00:08:11] <housemate_> hi
[00:08:15] <housemate_> I am new tothis...
[00:08:27] <housemate_> how do I bootstrap the installation?
[00:08:35] <housemate_> what should I use to decompress the tar?
[00:09:01] <housemate_> if I use bsdtar then it results in different files being produced than to using the gnome extraction utility...
[00:09:14] <housemate_> and I've tried archlinuxarm and that I suffer frequent crashes with...
[00:09:27] <housemate_> I have a HP Omnibook x14...
[00:09:44] <housemate_> !welcome
[00:09:44] <phrik> Welcome to #archlinux-ports, tell us how you fucked up.
[00:09:47] <housemate_> haha
[00:17:51] <housemate_> who is using this here?
[00:18:45] <housemate_> bsdtar extracts it so that the extracted files contain /usr/lib/firmware, and the the gnome archive utility doesn't..
[00:36:42] <clover|M> hi housemate i have an iso you can try here https://codeberg.org

[00:41:21] <housemate_> oh I see!
[00:41:43] <housemate_> what is the difference between this and the arch tarball from the ports page?
[00:43:47] <clover|M> I think the tarball is a just rootfs. I made an installer / recovery image like how you would install x86 arch on an efi machine in
[00:43:50] <housemate_> I mean that this is bootable and etc, although if I configured the tarball to boot, then what are the differences?
[00:43:57] <housemate_> oh yes.
[00:43:58] <housemate_> :-)
[00:44:00] <housemate_> nice!

[01:59:34] <housemate_> don't I need to specify the dtb in the bootloader configuraiton..?
[01:59:35] <housemate_> :-D
[02:00:22] <clover|M> pacman -S dtbsync should sort you out
[02:00:55] <clover|M> If you run the binary it will copy the dtb to your ESP
[02:01:04] <housemate_> ohh

[02:02:15] <housemate_> Unknown packager..
[02:03:28] <clover|M> Oh you need to install the drzee keys
[02:03:39] <clover|M> That should be on the arch ports wiki
[02:04:08] <housemate_> oh okay.

[02:04:37] <housemate_> https://arch-linux-repo.drzee.net

[02:04:46] <housemate_> how do I install it..?
[02:05:04] <housemate_> which program ..?
[02:05:09] <housemate_> is it pacman-key or gpg..?
[02:05:20] <clover|M> wget -O - https://arch-linux-repo.drzee.net | sudo pacman-key --add -
[02:05:20] <clover|M> sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 0CF25682E6BA0751
[02:05:20] <clover|M> pacman -Syy

[06:54:53] <solskogen|M> clover: why "d bs=4M if=archlinux-*--YYYY.MM.DD-aarch64.iso of=<DEV-TARGET> conv=fsync oflag=direct status=progress" ? Just use cp!
[07:52:23] <bs86> I am looking into converting my Pi5 (that I mainly use as a remote working desktop replacement ) from archlinuxarm to the aarch64 port. Is it as simple as changing repo's, installing the key'S and the rpi5-kernel and making sure the configs in /boot are correct?
[07:53:18] <bs86> and of course deal with pacsave/pacnew files
[08:11:01] <solskogen|M> If doing a in-place upgrade, you must make sure that you reinstall every package, not just upgrade them.

[14:14:53] <clover|M> <solskogen|M> "clover: why "d bs=4M if=..." <- Just an old bad habit I guess ;) and I like that it shows a progress bar. Can cp do that?
[14:15:39] <solskogen|M> I don't think so, but my experience is that the progressbar with dd is... not very reliable.
