Alright guys Linus Sex Tips here today we’re going to browse Porn Flash Games dot net on Arch Linux. You know what else makes me cum? Today’s sponsor.

Glasswire is the network and fleet monitoring tool that puts you in control over your home or small business networking, allowing you to monitor both threats and faults at a glance as well as get notifications on your mobile device.

*Intro plays*

So the first thing we need to do is install Arch Linux, for that you’re going to want to set up a flash drive or maybe DVD with the installation media, but you need to be aware of your motherboard or laptops firmware, some older devices still use the classic IBM PC BIOS bootsector based boot process whereas most newer devices are going to use UEFI, we’re going to be doing this on an Acer Predator 21X which is fairly low end but it’ll do and it’s not new but its new enough that it still supports the newer UEFI style boot. We need to download the x86-64 and then just write that to a flash drive. To burn this image to a flash drive we’re going to use Win32 Disk Imager, really you can use any program, if you are on macOS you can do this from Disk Utility, if you are already on Linux or another UNIX-like you can use the dd utility. Alright so now we have this flash drive, and we’re rebooting the Predator. We need to go into the UEFI configuration menu because we need to disable Secure Boot else our Predator won’t accept the signature for the bootloader. You need to go into the Boot menu and set Secure Boot to Disabled. Alright now it’ll reboot, hit F12 repeatedly until you come up to this menu here, and then select an option labeled “UEFI”, your flash drives name, and ending in “PMAP”. Next we’re on the bootloader, just select that first “Boot Arch Linux (x86-64)” option. OK now the real fun begins. Now since we’re in Canada we’d normally go ahead and load a keymap but this is actually a US-layout Acer Predator 21x because Acer didn’t have any Canadian layout units available when we got this review unit so we can actually stick with the default US layout. Now here’s where some of you will be surprised if you’ve done this before in the past; we need to connect to Wi-Fi, but we won’t be using wifi-menu. Instead we’ll use the newer iwctl. Ok so watch…… first we list the devices…… scan for networks….. list em, there’s ours right there, now we just need to issue a connect, and… now it wants the password, get that in there… Cool. So now we should be connected, great. Alright now let’s test it so, type in “ping archlinux.org”. Oh that’s strange, we’re getting “network unreachable” error… ANTHONY!

*cut to Anthony*

Okay so I took a look with another machine and it looks like what happened was the access point Linus connected to had DHCP6 misconfigured to the wrong gateway and it wasn’t picking up DHCP4 at all, and so no packets were routing. After a couple hours of fidgeting with the Unifi configuration we just factory reset everything.

*pan to Linus, unamused*

Alright… so… at least now we can ping archlinux.org, the pings look fine, we can keep going. Now we want to synchronize the clocks. This might not *seem* important but it is actually very important because network protocols like TLS rely on the clock to be set properly and will not work correctly in some cases if it isn’t; and this is especially exacerbated by the fact that Windows sets the system time based on what it considers local time, whereas Linux sets the system clock based on UTC. If our dates mismatch, the TLS handshake will fail and we’ll get nowhere. So we need to run timedatectl set-ntp true… and just wait a few seconds, and it should be golden. OK. Now we need to partition the disks…. we’re just going to set up a simple LUKS encrypted root with an LVM2 group and throw some ext4 partitions under there, and then a separate LUKS partition for our swap, because we need that to be block aligned. LUKS is smart enough to reuse our passphrase for all of the other logical partitions so all we have to do is tell it which disks to mount and when the initrd is created we should be gucci. OK. Format those bad boys………… alright, now mounting…. (that’s what she said)….. oh right, lets not forget to turn the swap on as well, so that it gets properly saved later on. Alright now we want to run the command pacstrap to bootstrap our base packages, so we’re going to install linux, linux-firmware and base, that should be enough to get it all started. And while that’s going, I’m going to go refill my water (Psst, lttstore dot com.)

OK… all done, looking good, so we need to generate an “f stab” (Anthony in the distance:) “That’s F S tab, it stands for File System Table” OK …. we’re going to generate an F stab,

gen f stab dash U slash mnt, pipe appending to slash mnt slash etc slash f stab.

Now we’re going to “chroot”, using the special “arch-chroot” command…. need to symlink the desired timezone info file to slash etc slash localtime, remember, no slash mnt, we’re now inside of the installed system root. We’ll use hwclock to setup etc adjtime. Now we gotta edit etc locale gen…. oops, vim is not installed… ok pacman dash capital S vim…. what the heck? Oh, we need it to download the index. OK make that a dash Sy. Now we’re cooking. OK and we’ve uncommented the locale so we can now run locale gen. Lets set the hostname… generate initram…. set the root password…. install systemd boot and OK! Great.

Now we can reboot into our fresh Arch Linux install…. and we got login! Now, just enter “root” and the password… cool… now we need to install a desktop environment. Lets install GNOME for now. Pacman dash S…. gnome desktop….. oh. Oh god. So many errors. Hahaha, oh yeah, i need to connect to wifi; its just going through every mirror and failing because I’m not connected.

Ok so i just run iwctl… command not found? Oh no. We forgot to install the wireless networking programs! We need to reboot into the installation media, unlock the LUKS volunes, mount the LVM volumes, arch chroot in again and install the programs we need.

Alright guys that’s about all the time we have for part 1 of getting Porn Flash Games dot net running under Arch Linux, next time we’ll go off into a tangent about video card drivers, glvnd, video acceleration in X11 vs Wayland, and attempt to get Pepper Flash loading in a recent version of Chromium.
