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.
- Leave grub to be installed in the default 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
Package Installation
Update all the installed packages on your system.
pacman -Syu
Make sure that you have a decent speed mirrorlist
cd /etc/pacman.d cp mirrorlist mirrorlist.backup # make sure to uncomment all the USA servers vim mirrorlist.backup rankmirrors -n 6 mirrorlist.backup > mirrorlist
Replicate the packages installed in another server
pacman -Suy pacman -Qqe | grep -vx "$(pacman -Qqm)" > Packages pacman -Qqm > Packages.aur
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
QEMU/ESESC
mmap problem for qemu
echo "vm.mmap_min_addr = 4096" >>/etc/sysctl.d/10-esesc.conf echo "fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 65535" >>/etc/sysctl.d/10-esesc.conf echo "kernel.randomize_va_space = 0" >>/etc/sysctl.d/10-esesc.conf
restart sysctl
systemctl restart systemd-sysctl.service
autofs
Install autofs.
pacman -S autofsCreate a mada directory.
mkdir /mada
Configure.
scp <username>@mascd10.cse.ucsc.edu:/etc/autofs/auto.mada /etc/autofs/ scp <username>@mascd10.cse.ucsc.edu:/etc/autofs/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
Reload autofs
systemctl reload autofs
Now you should be able to see both /mada/users and /mada/software in your /mada directory. If you do not see those folders mounted. autofs was not setup properly. Reconfigure.
SSH
Enable ssh service
systemctl restart sshd.service systemctl enable sshd.service
To enable X forwarding.
vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Make sure X11 forwarding option is set to yes
X11Forwarding yes
Now you should be able to ssh to your machine using the local username you have created.
ssh x_local@masdx.cse.ucsc.edu
LDAP
Please do not reboot while setting up LDAP until you make sure it works! Otherwise you might end up locking yourself out and having to re-install!
Install the following packages.
pacman -S openldap nss nss_ldap pam_ldap cyrus-sasl-ldap lib32-libldap yaourt -A nss_updatedb //Type N to edit build package and Y for installation
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:
eno1 lo
You can use either dhcpcd or NetworkManager to configure the network. Do not leave both 'active'.
systemctl stop NetworkManager.service systemctl disable NetworkManager.service systemctl enable dhcpcd.service systemctl start dhcpcd.service
Copy LDAP configuration files:
scp <username>@mascd10.cse.ucsc.edu:/etc/openldap/ldap.conf /etc/openldap/ldap.conf scp <username>@mascd10.cse.ucsc.edu:/etc/nss_ldap.conf /etc/nss_ldap.conf scp <username>@mascd10.cse.ucsc.edu:/etc/pam_ldap.conf /etc/pam_ldap.conf scp -r <username>@mascd10.cse.ucsc.edu:/etc/openldap/cacerts /etc/openldap/. scp <username>@mascd10.cse.ucsc.edu:/etc/pam.d/system-auth /etc/pam.d/system-auth scp <username>@mascd10.cse.ucsc.edu:/etc/pam.d/su-l /etc/pam.d/su-l scp <username>@mascd10.cse.ucsc.edu:/etc/pam.d/mdm /etc/pam.d/mdm scp <username>@mascd10.cse.ucsc.edu:/etc/pam.d/sudo /etc/pam.d/sudo
Copy nss switch configuration file.
scp <username>@mascd10.cse.ucsc.edu:/etc/nsswitch.conf /etc/.
Now you should be able to execute the following command.
ldapsearch -x LLL
Copy imapd configuration file.
scp <username>@mascd10.cse.ucsc.edu:/etc/idmapd.conf /etc/.
make sure to have a newline at the end of /etc/request-key.d/id_resolver.conf
create id_resolver * * /usr/bin/nfsidmap %k %d
Restrict access to your machine by copying and editing /etc/security/access.conf.
scp <username>@mascd10.cse.ucsc.edu:/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.
Then edit /etc/conf.d/nfs-common.conf, find NEED_IDMAPD and set it to:
NEED_IDMAPD="yes"
To get other users to have access to their home directories on your machine, you should run the following:
sudo ln -s /mada/users /soe
If are unable to run ls /soe something is wrong and ldap is not properly set up.
You should be able to ssh into your own machine again. Once you have verified that LDAP is working, you may then reboot.
LDAP patch 10/16/14 (if you are doing a new desktop setup, you already have these files) If you are not doing a new desktop setup and your LDAP is broken:
scp <username>@mada4.cse.ucsc.edu:/etc/nss_ldap.conf /etc/nss_ldap.conf scp <username>@mada4.cse.ucsc.edu:/etc/pam_ldap.conf /etc/pam_ldap.conf scp -r <username>@mada4.cse.ucsc.edu:/etc/openldap/cacerts /etc/openldap/.
MDM might give you a hard time. If that is the case, you can install and use lightdm instead. For this porpuse, run the following commands:
pacman -S lightdm pacman -S lightdm-gtk3-greeter systemctl stop mdm.service systemctl disable mdm.service cp /etc/pam.d/mdm /etc/pam.d/lightdm ; you might want to keep a backup systemctl enable lightdm.service systemctl start lightdm.service
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 $(pacman -Ssq ttf)
Install libtermcap which needed by Synopsys simulator.
#Download termcap-2.0.8.tar.gz wget masc.soe.ucsc.edu/termcap-2.0.8.tar.gz cd termcap-2.0.8 #remove .depend file and do "make distclean".
# Build and install sudo make install
# set link library paths sudo cp termcap.conf /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ sudo ldconfig
#png library pacman -S libpng12
Ruby Related Stuff
The following steps are installing RVM.
- This only needs to be done once per user since user home directories are shared across machines using NFS.
- Do not use root when installing RVM. Avoid multi-user setup. Always prefer individual setup from your account.
- We use RVM to support multiple ruby versions.
pacman -S curl \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
Set Time/crontab
Install required software
pacman -S ntp
Set timezone and use ntp servers
timedatectl set-timezone America/Los_Angeles timedatectl set-ntp yes
Setup new crontab
systemctl enable cronie systemctl start cronie
Open /etc/ntp.conf file in an editor and add UCSC ntp server and remove default servers. When you are done the only server that should be listed in the file is
server ntp.ucsc.edu
Update All Packages
Frequently update all of your installed packages.
pacman -Syu
Search for an installed package x.
pacman -Qs | grep x
pacaur
Get pacaur needed packages
pacman -S expac yajl bash-completion cower
Now the weird custom AUR install
Get the packages
wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pa/pacaur/pacaur.tar.gz
Install pacaur
tar zxvf pacaur.tar.gz cd pacaur makepkg pacman -U pacaur*.xz
From now, use pacaur instead of pacman
pacaur -Suy
Add the multilib repo
Edit /etc/pacman.conf to have:
[multilib] SigLevel = PackageRequired Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Install multilib gcc and libs
pacaur -Suy pacaur -S gcc-multilib binutils
Replicate some of the servers
pacman -Qqe | grep -vx "$(pacman -Qqm)" > Packages pacman -Qqm > Packages.aur
Copy the Packages.* to your machine
pacman -S gvim
cat Packages.aur | xargs pacaur -S --noconfirm cat Packages | xargs pacman -S --noconfirm
