Problems that occured while getting my ArchPi running

[gregorvolkmann]

Installed arch on RPi1B+

fixed the url from raw.github.com > raw.githubusercontent.com:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adimania/arch-desktop-environments/master/XFCE-Arch-RPi.sh | bash

Installation of xfce4 didn't work, had to update the db.
For that, I had to fix permissions (add 'rw' to the cmdline.txt):
found here

nano /boot/cmdline.txt
selinux=0 plymouth.enable=0 smsc95xx.turbo_mode=N dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p6 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=noop **rw** rootwait

reboot

pacman-db-upgrade

had to update pacman again

pacman -Syu
pacman -S --noconfirm xorg-xinit xorg-server xorg-server-utils xterm
pacman -S --noconfirm xfce4
pacman -S --noconfirm mesa xf86-video-fbdev xf86-video-vesa
pacman -S --noconfirm slim

Slim didn't log me in and just throw me back into slim again and again. Manually started into X:
found here

xinit -- :2

reboot

now it booted into slim and the login with root worked, too.

hi @gregorvolkmann,
I would really appreciate if you could give a pull request. Otherwise it'll take sometime from my end to get everything tested and a commit to master.

Hey @adimania, I am sorry but this is currently not possible for me.
