Re: i desire my new distribution but .....
Thanks for sharing this tree(#26) it looks alright far as I can see.
├── root [error opening dir]
This is not an error but expected behavior because your building (work) in the '$HOME' directory
Using sudo the contents of this dir should be accessible!
Why aren't you building in tmpfs? are you low on RAM
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archiso#Build_the_ISO
Well now it seems to work but as usual it stops me when I log in, it makes me install Arch
Is this problem solved now?

Is this problem solved now?
when i make iso i use this
sudo mkarchiso -v -r -w ./work -o ./out .
Problem it's not solved :-) now i make another image on USB but this also stopped as if I had to do a new installation.
I would like to do a live show but I don't understand how I should do it.
Maybe try calamares

Re: i desire my new distribution but .....
@seth, I have the same feeling....
@Lucanobile, your mkarchiso command is correct
And what do you mean with 'as if I had to do a new installation'
Is this what you see?
Arch Linux install medium (x86_64, UEFI)

Re: i desire my new distribution but .....
Yes, if you just use that first option the ISO will boot and you will end up in the live environment
This is as good as it gets, in the live env. you can use your installed tools 
Unless you have done something to automatically start the installer, however I doubt that...

edit: I didn't recognize those few words at first since I don't use that file
What you're talking about is the message of the day which is in the 'motd' file
This is why it's at least wise to read all files in the releng dir. to know whats in there

Re: i desire my new distribution but .....
Good morning everyone, today in Italy is Liberation Day.
However, I did some tests and I still can't start the live broadcast
the first change I made was the login manager even though I didn't know what to do:
I tried as it says to see where the link pointed
ls -l /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service -
/usr/lib/systemd/system/cosmic-greeter.service
and then I created the link
ls -l /usr/lib/systemd/system/cosmic-greeter.service /home/astro/SunnyAstro/airootfs/etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service
insert in autologin.conf
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --noreset --noclear --autologin root - ${TERM}
ed infine nel file passwd variato con questo
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/usr/bin/zsh
astrosunny:x:1000:1000::/home/astrosunny:/usr/zsh
but unfortunately same problem :-(

Re: i desire my new distribution but .....
Creating a symlink is not done trough 'ls -l' but 'ln -s' is this a typo?
'/home/astrosunny:/usr/zsh' should be '/home/astrosunny:/usr/bin/zsh'
but unfortunately same problem :-(
I'm currently unclear as to what that same problem is, do clarify, thanks

Re: i desire my new distribution but .....
Thanks, there was an incorrect symlink:
display-manager.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/lxdm.service
What I mean is that the live session doesn't start. Once it's started, I have to figure out how to install the programs.

Re: i desire my new distribution but .....
You're welcome but I don't really understand Italian that good
Something about the live broadcast wont start.
I truly have no idea how to solve that one

Re: i desire my new distribution but .....
Does ctrl+alt+f3 help?
Otherwise does it work w/o the display-manager.service resp. only booting the multi-user.target (2nd link below)?
Can you then start lxdm from there?
If not and you can access another VT, check the journal and/or xorg log.

Re: i desire my new distribution but .....
... thanks for your constant help
I'm formatting the USB stick with the image for the umpteenth time
After writing the image to the USB stick, I tried to boot from it, but it
didn’t work... I’m not sure what to do now.

Re: i desire my new distribution but .....
I just tried to build an ISO using cosmic an it did start from tty5 using 'start-cosmic'
Only tried it in QEMU and it feels kinda sluggish, let me say that.
There must still be something on your part that's ill configured, lets try to find out what that is.
Please show your installed package list for cosmic only!
Btw. must you use cosmic otherwise labwc on wlroots gives a way smoother feel, it's only my thought if you don't like it don't

No no I don't have to use cosmic...but it was an idea since the main idea is to use ISO for astronomy.

Re: i desire my new distribution but .....
Please use [code][/code] tags, not quote tags!
There is something else is noticed in your tree I miss group and gshadow.
Read https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archis … _passwords again and make the necessary changes.
edit:
Your tree is incomplete at least,
You need to look at config files from FI. Hyprland
Also where is the terminal?
Otherwise you can only type commands in the TTY!
Of course this is the same for a file manager, browser etc.
It's probably wise and useful to use an already created home directory
The rules are the same as for your host system.
That way you can at least create a hyprland.conf so you have a working Hyprland from the start
I must admit cosmic creates a somewhat workable solution right away, though the default browser FI. still needs to be installed.
So cosmic works right out of the box to a degree!! and for hyprland a little more attention/work is needed!

ok made the change, I naively made a mistake and confused the 2 things
edit:
Your tree is incomplete at least,
You need to look at config files from FI. Hyprland
sorry but what do you mean by FI. Hyperland?
Also where is the terminal?
alacrytty
Otherwise you can only type commands in the TTY!
Of course this is the same for a file manager, browser etc.
It's probably wise and useful to use an already created home directory
The rules are the same as for your host system.
That way you can at least create a hyprland.conf so you have a working Hyprland from the start
I must admit cosmic creates a somewhat workable solution right away, though the default browser FI. still needs to be installed.
So cosmic works right out of the box to a degree!! and for hyprland a little more attention/work is needed!

Re: i desire my new distribution but .....
...I rechecked the user and password chapter
and the file is written like this:
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/usr/bin/zsh
astrosunny:x:1000:1000::/home/astrosunny:/usr/zshnot caring about the password I went to the groups
which in fact I don't have so I created it like this.....
root:!*::root
astrosunny:!*::...but I have the idea that something is missing....
I then went to check profiledef , and the change in the file had not been done now is
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# shellcheck disable=SC2034
iso_name="SunnyAstroLinux"
iso_label="SUNNY_ASTRO_ARCH_$(date --date="@${SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH:-$(date +%s)}" +%Y%m)"
iso_publisher="Sunny Astro Arch Linux <https://archlinux.org>"
iso_application="Sunny Astro Arch Linux Live/Rescue DVD"
iso_version="$(date --date="@${SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH:-$(date +%s)}" +%Y.%m.%d)"
install_dir="arch"
buildmodes=('iso')
bootmodes=('bios.syslinux'
'uefi.systemd-boot')

["/etc/shadow"]="0:0:0400"

)Guys, excuse me but, as they say in Italy, "sono di coccio" (hard-headed) and I'm 62 years old

Re: i desire my new distribution but .....
and here's your neighborhood bighead again :-)
today I created a "groups" file as indicated above, but on boot it created me
a huge slew of errors, after which I copied my file (/etc/group) and everything
everything went well except for the fact that it doesn't start as live.....

Re: i desire my new distribution but .....
sorry but what do you mean by FI. Hyperland?
FI. = for instance
Oke you use alacritty, I see it now...
This is not correct
...
astrosunny:x:1000:1000::/home/astrosunny:/usr/zsh[/codeIt should be
astrosunny:x:1000:1000::/home/astrosunny:/usr/bin/zshI think this is also incorrect
root:!*::root
astrosunny:!*::This should be
root:x:0:root
astrosunny:x:1000:I don't know if you must! set permissions in profiledef, but, I do...
["/etc/group"]="0:0:644"
["/etc/passwd"]="0:0:644"You probably already changed the group according to my edit, I leave it there
Have you created a home directory with Hyprland config file?
Btw. we are never to old to learn!

Re: i desire my new distribution but .....
Hi, here I am again after making the change it doesn't work anyway starting in Live I was struggling to put the files so I can see how they are now
file in ../airootfs/etc/passwd
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/usr/bin/zsh
astrosunny:x:1000:1000::/home/astrosunny:/usr/bin/zshfile in ../airootfs/etc/group
root:x:0:root
astrosunny:x:1000:file in ../airootfs/etc/gshadow
root:!*::root
astrosunny:!*::file in ..../airootfs/etc/gshadow

Re: i desire my new distribution but .....
I think that shadow file should read
root::14871::::::
astrosunny::14872::::::Basically there are just a few files you can or need to create/edit to get a working ISO with cosmic or hyprland
profiledef, group, gshadow, passwd, shadow, autologin.conf and of course the packages.x86_64
That's it, if configured correct you should be able to start a session with 'start-cosmic' or 'start-hyprland'
After that to get a truly amazing experience a lot of files need to be added or changed
Always keep in mind there's mostly no difference between setting up your profile compared to a host Arch system

Sorry but today is a bit of an "extreme" day for me.
What you said reminds me of something I could do.
What if I copied the working contents of the files you suggested from mine?
Basically copying and pasting?
