Something about the cause and copying content...
My Italian is not getting any better today you should post in English!

I did the translation....
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?

The idea is OK but, I don't think the mods of Arch forum would be happy about that
You can use a pastebin service or even github
Maybe something like '0x0' or 'paste.c-net' remember to also make it easy for the one that has to look at the files!
Have a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_o … n_services

But, if you really want to make the whole tree of files available something like github would be best I guess
If it's only 2 or 3 small file you can paste them here

@seth, do you have an opinion about this?

seth · 2026-04-28 17:06:31

Quello che hai detto mi fa venire in mente una cosa che potrei fare ....e se copiassi il contenuto funzionante dei miei 3 ?

I'm not even sure what three files Lucanobile is talking about or what the point of sharing functional files would be but if the idea is actually to share work in progress I'd also suggest git because that also allows to track the progression.

I don't think I explained myself very well, my example is taking the file from my laptop (example passwd) and copying what's inside into the relevant file
passd to create the USB and see if it starts live.
For now everything has failed :-(

for now i have copied passwd, group, gshadow

qinohe · 2026-04-28 17:33:14

@seth, thanks, I think there's a huge language problem here that's for sure

@Lucanobile, I also think you may help yourself and us to upload the whole profile using git (to github of course)

]my example is taking the file from my laptop (example passwd) and copying what's inside into the relevant file

No, that's ridiculous and unnecessary.
Just use the files you showed with changes I showed you, that's really enough.
That is, if you have made the changes to all files.
Really if you have made all that changes it should simply work, it's that simple!

edit:
Btw. I build an ISO with the files you presented here and put them in a releng profile with your packages.x86_64
I had no issues whatsoever and both cosmic and hyprland started fine
Of course I removed packages like libindi and siril for I was not planning to build a repo for that

good morning everyone, how are you and how is the weather here? Danoi in Italy in Milan where I write from is cloudy but it's hot.

Today's news... I didn't do anything except put the SunnyAstro directory on Github so I could share it and be able to complete the live broadcast.

address is https://github.com/seguendoilvento/SunnyAstro/

I'll wait for you

Posting the correct url would maybe have been more useful.

i don't know , url was correct, repository is public ....

this is link for "git clone https://github.com/seguendoilvento/SunnyAstro.git"

i think there is something wrong like in the configuration files
for creating the USB stick...

You changed things that to my understanding are totally unnecesarry:
autologin.conf why change '/usr/bin/agetty' to '/sbin/agetty' ??

If you want to start a autologin for 'astrosunny' better change 'root' to 'astrosunny'
There's always sudo if you create a sudoers file

You removed the '/root' directory, why?

Permissions in profiledef.sh

Group and passwd should be 644 at most not 755
smae for passwd

gshadow should be 0400

shadow is in there twice it should be 400

Your 'etc/localtime' symlink is missing!

Right now the ISO is building and it booted...

edit: there may be more, but I need some coffee first

You have removed etc/resolv.conf

To get a user experience without password you need a sudoers file

Remove those mirrolists, chaotic and the mirrorlist

Remove all repos from 'etc/pacman.conf' beside core and extra

Install sudo

I probably forget to mention something, but, after editing the profile like I said in these two posts you have Hyprland running, at least I did

I had to disable quite a few packages btw., things like paru yay and all astro packages

You'd best start over and use a clean profile and don't remove or edit basic stuff before you understand why
And true you need to edit the group and gshadow file but don't start with that
First create a working profile and then start building it up slowly
Because I can imagine you don't see the forest trough the trees when editing a full profile at once

Also I can't do it for you, you need to understand what you need to add or change to get certain functionality, the wiki is your friend and the forum of course if you don't understand something

do you mean in the file group? or in which one?

The SunnyAstro/airootfs directory is there but it's empty, I don't know why you can't see it.
I changed the permissions again and deleted the double line.
Localtime should have a symlink to my localtime ?
Italian Coffe?

Starting with what?

The SunnyAstro/airootfs directory is there but it's empty, I don't know why you can't see it.

"root", not "airootfs"

Localtime should have a symlink to my localtime ?

The timezon you want to be used for time display.

Italian Coffe?

Bensdorp, I presume.

Hi guys, today I'm discouraged.....
I tried again to redo the Live ISO, but to no avail...
Now I'm trying to make it from scratch in a new directory
I also had a doubt about the commands I give being
in an ssh session do not go well and/or work badly.
However, for now the only thing I have changed is the list of programs to insert
in the package list....

Arch Linux
