  • what do you do if pacman doesen't work and you didn't install sudo?

  • @LoveBarthalamewPls you should have set up a root password during the installation. if you're logged in as root, you should be able to run pacman.

  • help! when I go to install xorg, it numbers everything it will install with it, and what number you want to install. It says all is default, and I can't type all, only numbers 1-86, but I want to install them all. What do I do?

  • @glowcode Just hit enter (without typing anything) and it should install all. :)

    Your videos are really helpful, thisweekonlinux! :)

  • @RainSkG Thanks very much!

  • @glowcode I believe @RainSkG is correct. :)

  • startx didn't work. Installed xinit, xterm, xorg-server, and a bunch of other random X dependencies. And yet startx or any initialization of X won't work. Tried starting 5 or 6 DE's as well, didn't work. Failed to load modules mach64, vesa, and fbdev. Fatal error: no screens found. So, unless you have a list of X dependencies I didn't include, I have no idea how to get X to start
