Installation and configuration of Arch Linux

Installation of Arch

This is nothing to say, in the Archwiki has given a detailed explanation, just follow the steps given to step by step.

Specifically about grub, I'm using Windows 7+arch Linux, and since Windows 7,arch was installed before installing Arch, there's no option for Windows 7 on the Grub menu bar, which needs to be/boot/grub/ Grub.cfg, add the following code at the end:

1 #Windows Seven 2 " Windows Seven " {3     set root="(hd0,1)"4     Chainloader +1  5 }

Configuration of Arch

Compared to the installation, the configuration process is more complicated, the first is the installation and display of fonts. The system in which I use the global language is English, in order to be able to display Chinese correctly in the system, need to modify the/etc/locale.gen file to set the locale that can be used in the system (the comment "#" before the corresponding item is canceled). The common Chinese locale is as follows:

ZH_CN. Gb2312zh_cn. Gbkzh_cn. Gb18030zh_cn. UTF-8zh_twzh_tw. UTF-8

These locales can then be used in the system by executing the Locale-gen command. In arch, the global active locale is set through the/etc/locale.conf file, and it is best to set the English locale in this file because the Chinese locale causes the TTY to be garbled. For the configuration of Chinese fonts, you can use Fontconfig.

For Linux input method, there are a lot to choose, I use the FCITX platform plus Fcitx-sunpinyin. After you have installed the appropriate program, you need to install the Input method module. Install multi-Package Fcitx-im, which covers both Fcitx-gtk2,fcitx-gtk3,fcitx-qt4 and FCITX-QT5.

For the network manager, I chose Network-manager, which supports VPN, which is especially important for the domestic network environment. Other problems have not yet met, and so on after the meeting.

OK, let ' s enjoy Arch.
