Testing the installation of Archlinux: Manjaro XFCE 8.7.1
Contents
Creating Manjaro Live Installation Media
- Download Manjaro XFCE 8.7.1 (1.32 GB)
- Use instructions below on Mac OS X which uses the diskdump "dd" command to dump the iso to the flash drive. --More information: archlinux-USB-flash-installation
diskutil list diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2 //flash is connected to disk2 dd of=/dev/disk2 if=/path/to/manjaro-xfce-0.8.7.1-x86_64.iso diskutil eject /dev/disk2
Installing Manjaro XFCE 8.7.1 via Installation Wizard
- Boot from the USB Drive.
- When prompted type in ‘stat’ press enter to select Manjaro Live.
- Click on the Manjaro installation manager icon on the Desktop and walk through the installation process.
- When prompted for a username, choose one that is NOT your SOE login! For example "elnaz_local" rather than my SOE login of "elnaz". Otherwise you will not be able to login to your computer after you setup LDAP.
- When prompted for a machine name, enter the name that machine is supposed to be (mascd11, omelette, quiche, etc)
- Selecting 'Edit Partitioning' will launch gparted which will allow you to delete current partitions and/or add new partitions.
- At least 3 partitions are needed.
- ~2G storage for /boot and select ‘ext2’ as the format.
- At least 8-10G for swap and select ‘linux-swap’ as the format.
- The rest of the storage space can be partitioned as root ‘/‘ with the ‘ext4’ format.
- You can add other partition such as home directory.
- Click on 'Edit' and select 'Apply All Partitions' to save the changes. And quit the program.
- At least 3 partitions are needed.
- Right click on ~2G partition and mount it as /boot. The format should be 'ext2'.
- Right click on the largest partition (i.e. root) and mount is as '/'. Click Forward.
- Note to install 'grub' in the /boot partition.
- Deselect Plymouth login manager. You should install a different login manager later, for instance SLiM.
- Review the summary of the changes you have made. And click on 'install'.
- Installation wizard should complete as normal.
NOTE: when partitioning the disk, make sure root and boot partitions are on one disk. Otherwise, you will not be able to boot from hard drive.
Account Setup
Enable root account. Open a terminal window. And enter your new root password for the machine
sudo su - passwd
Add your local and SOE logins to the list of sudoers:
vi /etc/sudoers
Firewall Setup
Setup the firewall:
ufw default deny ufw reject auth ufw limit ssh/tcp ufw logging off
The next line is only needed the first time you install the package.
ufw enable
Follow it by enabling ufw with systemctl.
systemctl enable ufw.service
Finally, query the rules being applied via the status command.
ufw status
NVIDIA Driver Installation
By default, video-nvidia-nouveau is installed. Remove it and install video-nvidia instead.
The following command will list the basic information of all the drivers currently installed on your system.
mhwd -li -d
Filter the drivers used on a hardware with a PCI connection:
mhwd -li -d --pci
To remove the installed driver for nvidia graphics card use the following command.
mhwd -r pci video-nvidia-nouveau
You will also need to manually remove nouveau from the conf file. Edit /etc/mkinitcpio.conf by commenting out the following line.
MODULES=" nouveau"
And install video-nvidia driver
mhwd -i pci video-nvidia
MADA Related Installations
autofs
Create a mada directory.mkdir /mada
Install autofs.
pacman -S autofs
Configure.
scp <username>@mada0:/etc/auto.mada /etc/autofs/. scp <username>@mada0:/etc/auto.master /etc/autofs/.
When you are done configuring, launch the AutoFS daemon as root:
systemctl start autofs
To start the daemon on boot:
systemctl enable autofs
Edit /etc/autofs/auto.mada
users -rw,intr,soft,noquota,noatime,fstype=nfs4 mada0.cse.ucsc.edu:/mada/users software -ro,intr,soft,noquota,noatime,fstype=nfs4 mada0.cse.ucsc.edu:/mada/software
SSH
To enable X forwarding.
vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Make sure X11 forwarding option is set to yes
X11Forwarding yes
LDAP
Install the following packages.
pacman -S openldap pacman -S nss pacman -S nss_ldap pacman -S pam_ldap pacman -S cyrus-sasl-ldap pacman -S lib32-libldap yourt -A nss_updatedb
You have already set your host name as mascdx. Check:
vi /etc/hostname
If it is not set, set it using the following command.
hostnamectl set-hostname mascdx
Now mascdx is in /etc/hostname
Disable Modem Manager.
systemctl disable ModemManager
To get a list of current NIC names use:
ls /sys/class/net
Output example:
enp16s3 ens5f0 ens5f1 lo
You can use either dhcpcd or NetworkManager to configure the network, but make sure you use either a generic or the other type of ethernet device. Do not leave both 'active'.
Copy LDAP certificates.
scp <username>@mascd11:/etc/ssl/certs/* /etc/ssl/certs/
Copy LDAP configuration file.
scp <username>@mascd11:/etc/openldap/ldap.conf /etc/openldap/ldap.conf
Copy kerberos config file.
scp <username>@mascd11:/etc/krb5.conf /etc/.
Now you should be able to execute the following command.
ldapsearch -x LLL
Copy imapd configuration file.
scp <username>@mascd11:/etc/idmapd.conf /etc/.
Restrict access to your machine by copying and editing /etc/security/access.conf.
scp <username>@mascd11:/etc/security/access.conf /etc/security/.
You will need to add your local login to the machine, or you will lock yourself out.
vi /etc/security/access.conf
Go to very bottom of file and add your local user account to the list below root. Example of the last lines of my file (Replace "elnaz_local" with your local login).
+ : root : ALL + : elnaz_local : ALL + : nx : ALL + : gitosis : ALL + : (masc) : ALL + : (vlsi) : ALL + : (mada0) : ALL - : ALL : ALL
Calling "su - other_username" should say "permission denied", but, calling "su - your_user_name" should work.
Copy nss switch configuration file.
scp <username>@mascd11:/etc/nsswitch.conf /etc/.
Copy pam LDAP configuration file.
scp <username>@mascd11:/etc/pam_ldap.conf /etc/.
Synopsys Tools Required Libraries
Having installed xorg-server xorg-server-common, I still had to install the following.
pacman -S xorg-server-devel
Install more and more fonts. Some of them are required by the Synopsys tools.
pacman -S $(pacman -Ssq font) pacman -S $(pacman -Ssq ttf)
Copy libtermcap which needed by Synopsys simulator.
scp username@mada1:/usr/lib/libtermcap.so.2.0.8 /lib/. /lib/. ln -s /usr/lib/libtermcap.so.2.0.8 /lib/libtermcap.so.2
Update All Packages
Frequently update all of your installed packages.
pacman -Syu
