Only just noticed that ArchBang live iso is loading root image to ram regardless of which option you chose in boot menu. Have had copy to ram as an option for many years and never really thought much about it. Basically Archiso automatically loads to ram if root image is less than 4Gb and ram…
Should have waited….
Just seen kernel update, will rebuild iso image and upload it. Typical guess I should wait until Sunday morning before building image. Like to keep packages as fresh as possible and give users the best chance of having the smallest update possible post install. Right have to reboot now to get allow me to build…
Need a way of updating pacman with a GUI, read on….
I normally use an alias for pacman updates which is fine as I tend to live in a terminal… There are of course GUI wrappers for pacman out there but I have no need of them. So I have been trying to come up with a way to update via a keyboard shortcut. First attempts…
Ads are back ;-(
With support for ArchBang project at an all time low. Have decided to use google ads again. Maybe in the new year might switch blog to a free service possibly sourceforge or gitlab. This will reduce costs, as I need to save money in order to keep project alive. Can fully understand that money is…

As I had already set up virt-manager it was quite simply a case of installing gnome-boxes package and away you go….
Ubuntu Linux!
Yes you read it right I loaded Ubuntu linux on my laptop. Installed i3 window manager and set about setting up virt-manager. All was fine could run arch linux in a virtual machine and all seemed well. Anyway a day later I went back to Arch 😉 I have used Virtualbox mostly for testing iso…

Getting Help?
I do not like asking for money, funding, crypto, gift cards or even a coffee. Offer Paypal as a simple way to support my work but many people do not like using it. Not going to use google ads again, very limited and they can pull payments at will. I need alternatives that people will…
