Possible rescue when you run into issues with the livedvd

Sep 12, 2019 | Applications, ArcoLinux, Calamares, Fixes

Starting version 19.9 we give you more control over the live-dvd environment.

You can now login via TTY in ArcoLinux – No password required

Bare metal = CTRL + ALT + F2 till F6

VirtualBox = right CTRL + F2 till F6

Then you need to update the pacman database with

sudo pacman -Sy

Then you can install and remove packages with pacman.

With df you can see that we gave you 10GB of cowspace or space to install applications.

We also show you how to stop and start lightdm.

sudo systemctl stop lightdm.service

sudo systemcl start lightdm.service

We hope this will give more room to ‘fix things’ on your hardware.
