Re: Install Arch Linux for RaspberryPi

Post the output of "fdisk /dev/sdb -l" with copy, paste, so we can make sure your fdisk did what you wanted it to. Next, if you typed /devsdX1, the command definitely will not work. It was shown in the install instructions where you would change the X to the proper device identifier for your card. S...

Re: Change Ownership of directory owned by a service

I honestly do not know. We need an expert on transmission and security here!

Looking at the other directories, I would question needing write permission, it looks like it might be chmod a+rx.

But what do the files underneath look like (ls -l /var/lib/transmission/*)?

Re: Change Ownership of directory owned by a service

There is more than one way to go with this. You can change ownership and group of the files to something other than what they are using the chown and chgrp commands, but it sounds like the issue is read/write permission. For changing that, you use the chmod command. Cannot really give you appropriat...

You should be able to run MATE if you uninstall LXDE, the problem ...

You have a PS/2 mouse attached somehow? Have not seen that mousedev line on my pi, which uses a USB mouse.

The lines about "faulty personality" look important, looks like there are threads on the web about that for archlinux, but they are above my head.

Arch does have a libdrm package, called just libdrm. You might need to modify the code in source to call that instead of libdrm-intel, and install libdrm.

Which Raspberry Pi Model do you have? Arch has different installations for the older models vs. Raspberry Pi 2, make sure you have the right tar file.

The monitor is self-powered? If not, that could be a contributing issue.
