Arch live CD. Once finished with repairs, unmount the
Flac tools (split flac albums: cuebreakpoints broken system, and reboot.
album.cue | shnsplit -o flac album.flac)
Mounting and chrooting a broken system
– pacman -S cuetools shntool id3v2
Once booted and at a console prompt, use the following to
Windows partitions mount and repair your broken system (where /dev/sda3 is
– pacman -S ntfs-3g “/” and /dev/sda1 is “/boot”):
Mount Media First, create the mount point, and mount your root / file
Edit /etc/fstab system to it; then, cd into it.
– # mkdir /mnt/arch
/dev/sdaX /media/CJDMedia ext4 defaults 0 0
– # mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/arch
Font configuration – # cd /mnt/arch
Edit /etc/pacman.conf Now, create the proc, sysfs, and dev file systems
[infinality-bundle] – # mount -t proc proc proc/
Server = http://bohoomil.com/repo/$arch – # mount -t sysfs sys sys/
– # mount -o bind /dev dev/
Add the key Next, mount the boot partition if you use one.
– sudo pacman-key -r 4209170B – # mount /dev/sda1 boot/
– pacman-key -f keyid Finally, chroot into /mnt/arch which will become /.
– pacman-key --lsign-key keyid – # chroot .
You may first need to run dirmngr as root Turn on networking.
– sudo dirmngr < /dev/null Reinstalling with pacman
HP Photosmart C3180 PRINTING and SCANNING The author uses pacman in a chrooted broken system to
– cups reinstall the kernel, GRUB, initramfs, udev, and any other
– systemctl "start & enable" org.cups.cupsd.service packages that may be broken and/or needed to get the
– sane system up and running.
– hplip This will reinstall the kernel and initramfs so check that
"if printer is not recognised, add hpaio to /etc/sane.d/dll.conf" /etc/mkinitcpio.conf is correct or remove the file entirely and
Insults re-install mkinitcpio.
– # pacman -Syyu mkinitcpio linux udev
add to the "Defaults specification" in /etc/sudoers
Afterwards, unmount and reboot.
