[Installation log] How to install Antergos and not die trying

Hello everyone, I will talk about how to install Old Linux one hundred, well let's get started.

1.- Assuming that they have already downloaded Antergos, start from the CD, when the welcome screen appears, click on the graphical installer option.

2.- We select the Spanish language.

3.- We have the option to install Third Party Software as in Ubuntu 😀

third

4.- It will ask you for the desktop you want to install, in my case I chose XFCE.

5.- The following screens will be as in Ubuntu, asking for the partitioning, the keyboard time zone and the user.

6.- Then it will show you a presentation of 6 images while it is installed, Note that the installation will be slow because it is installed over the Internet since it is a front end with GUI GTK of the old installer of Arch Linux.

7.- When we restart, it will appear in terminal mode, since there is no X because no driver is installed, but this can be solved with the command:

sudo pacman -S xorg alsa-firmware base-devel yaourt

and with this it is already functional.

8.- Now inside your desktop environment you are ready for the post installation.

It is necessary to GNOME y Cinnamon install: gnome-network-manager and other basic apps like EOG, Telepathy and others from Pacman GX4, a front-end for Pacman, the package manager for Antergos.

We can also optionally install for (XFCE) the Whisker Menu package.

LibreOffice with Faenza icons

  1. Download from here the zip package that contains many icon packs.
  2. Unzip the Faenza from option two which is for LibreOffice 4.1 as Root (first save the zip package in your download folder and open it as Root) and move it with your file manager to / usr / lib / libreoffice / share / config /.
  3. In LibreOffice go to Tools> Options> view and there where it says type of icon select glass and then go to advanced in the same window and enable the option to use the sidebar.
  4. Remove the format bar.

If they do it well, it should look like this, this is my Antergos XFCE:

    "When we restart, it will appear in terminal mode, since there is no X because no driver is installed"

    WTF? I have installed it and of course there are X. Both in a laptop and in an AMD + NVidia tower.

      Well, maybe Sergio's experience was completely different. 😉

      1.    Sergio E. Duran said

        In fact elav, I have installed it 3 times 2 with Cinnamon and this with XFCE and it is always the same to install the drivers after having installed it

        1.    eliotime3000 said

          It is surely a bug that the installer has.

          1.    Sergio E. Duran said

            I doubt it friend

            "Note that the installation will be slow because it is installed over the Internet since it is a front end with GUI GTK of the old Arch Linux installer."

            So maybe Marzas found it installed by CL or maybe he installed the newest version because until two versions ago the installation was like that

          Can you tell the date from the image?

          1.    Sergio E. Duran said

            is the one of Antergos 2013.05.12

        3.    marches said

          Of course, there are already more new ones ... You should try the last one anyway.

    2.    Sergio E. Duran said

      In mine I had to install the alsa-firmware drivers and the intel driver, because I did not bring them, if in yours, if you are very lucky, my good friend 🙂

    Hello, on the side of the web (when you open an article) the part of the social networks appears, but with 0 followers of facebook, twitter and Google+, when, obviously, there are many more xD

    1.    elav said

      Uff, you're right. I had not noticed, thanks for warning.

    2.    elav said

      Solved 😉

  3.   eliotime3000 said

    Good post. In addition, I already downloaded the Arch ISO to be able to test it and thus comment more objectively about that distro.

    1.    Sergio E. Duran said

      then try Antergos 🙂

      1.    eliotime3000 said

        Well, I like to be under the hood, and Slackware has been great for me. I leave you here my humble opinion about slackware, how i managed to install slackware y put the finishing touches to use it without causing problems.

    I installed this distro, I had no problem with the radeon drivers, the only problem that occurred to me was that the font smoothing that it uses works halfway, at least in my case, some applications used smoothing, others not and in chrome the letters looked bad.

    1.    cat said

      That can be fixed by editing .fonts.conf

      1.    pandev92 said

        If possible I would like it to be solved from the beginning or to the maximum by installing infinality, I don't really want to fix anything, for that I use arch directly.

        1.    eliotime3000 said

          Haha. And you'd better use Arch instead of other distros derived from them.

        2.    cat said

          I find it longer to install infinality, total in the .fonts.conf you just have to paste the following:

          rgb

          true

          hints light

          true

          lcddefault

          1.    cat said

            Oops! It didn't work out the way I wanted, I'd better leave it here: http://paste.desdelinux.net/4853

    Is there any way to do it from USB?
    Or live USB?

    1.    al_SeveR said

      Yes, like this: #dd if = / place / name.iso of = / place / pendrive

  6.   Emiliano said

    It opens the gnome environment for me as if it were a live xD, any way that it is not like that? because with gnome 3 I can't install it on my pc haha

    I have been following for a long time Desde Linux and I have been using Antergos for a long time, in fact I am part of the Staff that develops it, I think Sergio is referring to the base installation that comes in the .ISO since it is the only one that does not have the X environment, all the other versions, Cinnamon , GNOME, Razor-Qt, OpenBox and XFCE are working correctly (ignoring details such as support for MTP, UDF and others)

    I found it to be a correct POST, although a bit confusing and quite basic, but still useful.

    Greetings to all and thank you very much for helping us with Antergos.

    I installed it when it was changed to Cinnarch and I had no problem until today. The only thing that did not convince me Razor and I put Kde into it and curiously it uses less ram and I see it lighter than with other distributions such as Chakra, Kubuntu or OpenSuse.

    Sergio, I thank you very much for the contribution, I have about 4 months with Antergos, I adopted it because I started having problems with Linuxmint 14, I did not know it but my video card (Radeon HD 6290, with an amd vision processor) is incompatible with some Linux packages, now I am finding out, but hey I also made the decision because thanks to this and other forums I found out about the Rolling Release distro (you don't need to be changing the version), then being based on Antergos on Arch, It seemed like a good option and because it is more friendly (other distros are more difficult for me), I have been able to work with almost all the packages, however I can not install my HP multifunctional, I already tried several tutorials and only the scanner is working, but the No printer, I have the hp manager installed, what am I missing? I take advantage and comment that the Antergos forum in Spanish is very poor, so this post suited me very well, thank you.

    I have a problem that I do not know if someone has happened to him, yesterday I installed Antergos with XFCE and everything from mother, but no usb or pen hard disk mount.

    Any idea?

    1.    Karasu said

      I remember the same problem commented by another user but not the solution.
      Do a search on http://forum.antergos.com/ and if you can't find the post, post again.

    2.    magician said

      By default, Antergos does not come with support for MTP, GVFS or FUSE, I recommend you install the packages in order to have adequate support for everything that is USB and Massive Storage

      1.    arangoiti said

        Thank you very much, I reinstalled it and everything was perfect.

    Hello, I just installed antergos in dual-boot with windows vista and when I boot into grub I only get antergos. That I have to do?

  12.   deino said

    Help, for some reason I finished installing, I gave it a restart, and it shows me the grub, I choose linux and some strange characters appear, then they load some texts about intel and start loading ... it remains on a black screen with the mouse pointer only in the screen ... it does nothing else ... I move the pointer without problems but there is nothing loading ...

    Hello, how do I verify the download with sha1sum, if I can't find the list of sha1sum?
