Installing Arch Linux Plus DTOS - DistroTube In this video, I will be installing Arch Linux in a virtual machine (VirtualBox). Then, I will install DTOS to get my Xmonad desktop environment. I'm doing this to test out DTOS in vanilla Arch and to find any potential bugs needing to be fixed. - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/installation_guide - Arch Linux Install Guide - https://gitlab.com/dwt1/dtos - DTOS LongestYardstick: I tried this on a KVM virtual machine but I used UEFI Arch install goes normally, the download and install of DTOS goes off without a hitch, but at the reboot it hangs on the -starting version ...arch- screen but doesn't load the login manager :/
I'll try doing an MBR with a i386 machine like you used and see what happens.

Awesome video, I dig the style of DTOS. This inspired me to do my first Arch installation (from scratch on a VM), following both the arch wiki and the video. At the beginning I went for a EFI install that went wrong. On the third I lowered my expectations (setting the base arch as you did) and I managed to get up and running DTOS. My only problem is doom emacs did not install properly (no -/.doom.d for instance). I had some errors during doom emacs installation which I could't get a grip on and I'm currently trying to solve.
I'll love to see a video breaking down the -logic- behind DTOS: how it was assambled, something about the choice of applications and what is your idea of a base desktop system set-up, the included config files and so on. I'll like to be able to make it my own, so some pointers into the details would be much appreciated.
Thanks for this!

Hey ! I want to know how can I set a specific program to floating window like when I download a .jpeg file thunar opens up but it full-screen itself because of that. Some option such as save are not visible
Ps. I am on virtual machine and I do use virtual box guest Additions . Plz help

NOTE: I've fixed the issue with the dmenu script that sets our background (dm-setbg) for those installing from here on. I've also changed all the Xmonad keybindings that launch the various Emacs programs to use SUPER+e followed by another key (rather than CTRL+e which VirtualBox uses).

7 minutes hah. It's taking me more than an hour to install emacs or whatever it's installing, some kind of -evil collection-, seems to be gigantic as hell, it sure has no end. Probably gonna wait for another hour to see it i'll finish. lol

Just FYI, 'setfont ter-132n' will resize the font in the Arch installer. That way you won't have to use the VirtualBox software to resize the lettering of the TTY. ter-132n is a nice easy font to read during an Arch Linux installation. :)

I've seen several videos where you go through the process of removing the -optical drive-, i.e. the .iso file from VirtualBox. You don't have to do that. You can just use down arrow to select Boot Existing OS from the boot menu.

Super-E is probably a better keybinding anyway, but probably the issue is you're pressing the VirtualBox -Host Key- (defaults to right Ctrl). If you pressed the left Ctrl instead your original keybinding probably would have worked.

I have installed DT OS in my Arch Linux! Its great! But, I have a major issue:
I have a laptop so I want tap to click enabled as I have a touchpad. And also how do I change my laptop screens brightness? Please help me out

Just installed dtos alongside my KDE Plasma to try it out. It's simply the best xmonad config I've tried so far. Great work and thank you DT. The only thing I'm trying to figure out so far is how to adjust my volume.
