I install artix-mate-openrc-20211018-x86_64.iso and I don't know the password, I did but I couldn't find one to use.
You can boot into Live ISO, artix-chroot into the root partition and then run
passwd
to change the password for root, or
passwd your_username
to change the password for the user
your_username. For more information:
man passwd
Well the password artix. This Artix is short live first I didn't like how it look and it not Mate but it not. If they wanted all those programs they could have added them. I use Pluma alot and it not there just for one.
I will stay with Nemesis Mate. They didn't have Mate so I built one that I use everyday. Oh by the way they use Artix to build Nemesis.
If I install this artix-base-openrc-20210726-x86_64.iso what will I get when it boot up?
Can I get a complete packages list? I found the Mate install here /var/lib/pacman/local that way I can look at it. I'm 73 years old.
user: artix
pass:live
I didn't need the password and I all ready install artix-base-openrc-20210726-x86_64.iso and I have the package list.
Is there away to setup the WiFi? and I want to install Mate but how can I save what I do? I'm a 4gb USB right now but I have some USB3.1 64gb in the mail.
My personal experience, you will need a DSL cable to start and install required drivers.
Maybe someone has another way.
Download the package manually, put it on another drive/usb stick and install it from there on the live media.
If the driver is only in AUR, that get the dkms package and check for possible dependencies and get them all.
It used to be the case (perhaps it still is) with the Mate iso that the live desktop was LXQT, then if you wanted the Mate desktop on the live iso then you just selected LOG OUT from the LXQT desktop then chose Mate when you logged back in. Whatever live desktop you installed from, you would get Mate installed on your hard drive though. Base install is often the best choice if you have the time and knowledge. I've usually managed to get wifi working in various installations but this can take some patience, trying various approaches and searching online for guidance.
After I install this "artix-base-openrc-20210726-x86_64.iso" on a USB and boot it up.
Then I want to install Mate is this what I need to do?
pacman -S mate mate-extra system-config-printer blueman connman-gtk
Will this get save on the USB I boot up from? Then when I boot the same USB will Mate be there?
I have a 64gb USB3.1 is it OK to use? And will use the whole 64gb?
I am 73 years old and live in the Ohio so if there is someone in the United States that would build a USB with this artix-base-openrc-20210726-x86_64.iso and put this pacman -S mate mate-extra system-config-printer blueman connman-gtk on it. And make sure it has WiFi. No other programs I will put what I need.
I have a Dell INSPIRON 1525 Laptop that has Windows 7 Home on it. It has a 320gb Hard drive, 4gb Memory and CDRom.
Here is a question what would you charge me to do it and price for a USB Drive? I just don't think I can do it.
Go back to the artix mate iso then, like I said, Mate should be on there even if it boots into lxqt by default, that's just there because it boots faster. It will install your Mate ;D and some easy setup wifi stuff by default. I think nous made that iso if it works and you want to thank someone afterwards.
I downloaded it but I didn't like because there were programs I would never use. It would be nice if they would build Mate and just Mate for people like me. Why I'm here Nemesis has the paper icon look and it is to black look. That is why I use Windows 7 because 8 and 10 I hate. Beside I haven't use Windows 7 for 3 years.
I guest I will for another distros that has what I want. I use Slackware since version 9.
Is this a installer calamares installer? If so where can all ready built?
Is there some reason you cannot uninstall the programs you won't use? To me the easiest solution to your problem seems to be use the Mate live iso to install your system, remove programs you don't want and install anything else you would like.
Well how can I uninstall a program? And I try it on a 4gb USB.
As can be seen here (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman#Removing_packages) to uninstall a package with pacman the command (run as root) is:
pacman -R package_name
So if I wanted to uninstall say Firefox, for example, the command (run as root) is:
pacman -R firefox
So overall your steps would be:
Put the mate iso on your usb as per normal.
Install it on your computer by following the prompts from the installer.
Restart your machine so that you are booting off it.
Open whatever terminal is shipped with mate and run
pacman -R first_unwanted_program second_unwanted_program
(Pacman can actually uninstall any number of programs, each program name separated by a space)
Then install any other programs that are missing and you want.
pacman -S first_new_program second_new_program
And then you should be good to go.
