Been trying to get Arch to make a test LiveCD with some of the bits I did with my VM from my blog post.

Damn it is hard to find a proper way to do it, love Arch but really cant find a decent way to make an Installer/LiveCD :(

Any joy? lol

Not yet, I broke my Arch install. Just got it all re-installed and setup, hoping to work on it this weekend. Been making notes on basic installation steps (mostly out of the wiki). So that I can also look at the installer. However, I've also opted to go with Cinnamon as the DE, so it differs slightly from what the community S2 will be like. However the core I assume will all remain the same.

I don't think this does what you think it does.

all this does is put existing distro installers on a usb drive

why are you even posting this in this thread? this thread is about what apps should be included default.

there's already another thread talking about the installer https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1091945-shift2-gui-installer/

So... I was able to get a GUI installer working lastnight (got firefox to install). However, for some reason whenever I run it now it locks up my install. Not sure if it's code related, or if it's VM related.

so.. still trying to get it working. As I need to run certain things as root, I've been trying to get it to run sudo first.. which should work as I have it installed and working. However.. whenever I try and launch sudo with pacman as the argument it locks the system. However.. it worked fine last night.

Going to try having the exe run as root directly. Not ideal.. but worth a shot.

This not being able to edit posts kinda sucks.. however I have it running properly when the app is run as sudo or root. Still looking into getting it running better with the program launching pacman as sudo. However.. that said I have run a couple tests and it is installing firefox, I still need to add auto-yes to install missing dependencies, but yea.. it's coming along nicely.

Maybe you aren't following the entire thread.. the installer is a base set of code that we can use throughout multiple apps. In the case this one refers to.. the browser selection screen that was mentioned above.

little update. I have basic install from gzip files done (it will untar it, makepkg it, then pacman -U it). It's not perfect, and isn't thoroughly tested. I also have an automatic pacman -Syyu thing, basically a system/repo update that accepts the download prompt. Once I get a github uploader and I clean up the code I will upload it.

I am using virtualbox. if you have any questions let me know. also as you install, let us know of anything you find that is difficult that we should focus on. now that my code is working for both repo and gzip files we can potentially setup our own repo/server with aur gzips

lol i managed to get it installed but could never get networking working, last time i tried i got netowrk up and i could ping the router but could not ping even an ip address outside lol

will do it tonight and post a thread in here as i am doing it :)

I normally use VMware Player, but I've got virtualbox installed so I'm fine with that :D

'Makefile:172: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel'

You need the linux headers and source files!

Try: pacman -S linux linux-api-headers linux-firmware linux-headers

and see if it will work (if it says it's already up to date then remove it from the command and try again)

    • Microsoft is adding some very useful features to Word, Teams, Outlook, and more by Usama Jawad Image via Microsoft Microsoft 365 is the Redmond tech firm's premier solution for Office apps and cloud storage, among other things. Microsoft offers both consumer- and enterprise-oriented subscriptions for this solution, enabling customers to take full advantage of cloud-powered capabilities, in contrast to the LTSC versions of Office. Microsoft 365 apps and services regularly receive new updates and the good thing is that Microsoft tracks them in a very transparent way on its public roadmap. The Redmond company has updated its Microsoft 365 Roadmap with a lot of items in the past week or so, and there are several interesting features there that may excite its customers. For starters, Word is getting a very useful utility that will likely help people writing detailed documents using the software. Microsoft is integrating third-party citation providers in the Reference tab, so that users can quickly add citations. This is being made available to GCC, GCC High, and Department of Defense (DoD) customers on desktop and web this month. There are several improvements on the way for Copilot Notebooks too. Users can customize the format, style, and duration of Audio Overviews in the application through natural language prompts. These Audio Overviews can then be saved on OneDrive so that they can be shared with others too. All of these capabilities are landing on the web next month. Speaking of Copilot, Microsoft is moving the navigation pane for Copilot Chat from the right side of the app to the left. Apart from retaining the existing features, this repositioning allows Microsoft to add new capabilities such as an All Conversations tab, while also streamlining the overall navigation experience. This is being implemented for all customers using Outlook and Teams on the web from next month. In the latter software, Microsoft is also introducing regional settings that gives controls over the app's language and datetime formats. This is being made available for all Teams customers on Android, iOS, desktop, and the web from next month. Meanwhile, the desktop version of Teams is exclusively gaining the ability next month to search for meetings and participants in the search bar and take actions directly from there. Available actions include viewing recaps, accessing the dedicated meetings tab, and RSVP-ing. Microsoft added 39 items to the Microsoft 365 Roadmap, so you can understand that the selection of items described above is only scratching the tip of the iceberg. Check out other upcoming capabilities like Universal Print enhancements and more Copilot improvements on the dedicated webpage here.
