# How to install arch on the hp omen
|
|
|
|
## Disk Layout
|
|
|
|
We're using the following disks
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/dev/nvme0n1 - 500GiB m.2 SSD
|
|
/dev/sda - 2TB SATA SSD
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Partitioning
|
|
|
|
We're creating three partitions. One EFI, one root and one home partition.
|
|
The root and home partition are to be encrypted with dm-crypt.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
fdisk /dev/nvme0n1
|
|
> g # gpt partition table
|
|
> n
|
|
> <Enter> # starting from the beginning
|
|
> +500M # 500 MiB
|
|
> t 1 # EFI partition
|
|
> n # new partition
|
|
> <Enter> #
|
|
> <Enter> # use the remaining size of the disk
|
|
> w
|
|
> q
|
|
|
|
fdisk /dev/sda
|
|
> g
|
|
> n
|
|
> <Enter>
|
|
> <Enter> # use the whole disk
|
|
> w
|
|
> q
|
|
|
|
# Create the encrypted root partition
|
|
cryptsetup -cipher aes-xts-plain64 --key-size 512 --hash sha512 --iter-time 5000 --use-random luksFormat /dev/nvme0n1p2
|
|
|
|
# Create the encrypted home partition
|
|
cryptsetup -cipher aes-xts-plain64 --key-size 512 --hash sha512 --iter-time 5000 --use-random luksFormat /dev/sda1
|
|
|
|
# Open the devices
|
|
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/nvme0n1p2 cryptroot
|
|
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1 crypthome
|
|
|
|
# Create the filesystems
|
|
mkfs.fat -F 32 /dev/nvme0n1p1
|
|
mkfs.btrfs /dev/mapper/cryptroot
|
|
mkfs.btrfs /dev/mapper/crypthome
|
|
|
|
# mount the partitions in the correpsonding paths
|
|
mount /dev/mapper/cryptroot /mnt
|
|
mkdir /mnt/boot
|
|
mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot
|
|
mkdir /mnt/home
|
|
mount /dev/mapper/crypthome /mnt/home
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Pacstrap
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# install base, kernels, firmware and utils
|
|
pacstrap -i /mnt base base-devel linux linux-zen linux-firmware intel-ucode vim nushell
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Steps in Chroot
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# enter new root
|
|
arch-chroot /mnt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Timezone and Time
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Uncomment at least one desired locale
|
|
vim /etc/locale.gen
|
|
locale-gen
|
|
# Use your main locale
|
|
echo LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 /etc/locale.conf
|
|
export LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
|
|
|
|
# Timezone info
|
|
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin /etc/localetime
|
|
|
|
# Configure hwclock to utc
|
|
hwclock --systohc --utc
|
|
|
|
# Set the keyboard layout
|
|
echo KEYMAP=de > /etc/vconsole.conf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Pacman
|
|
|
|
Open `/etc/pacman.conf` and uncomment `Color` and `ParallelDownlods=5` as well
|
|
as the section containing the `multilib` repository
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Users
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# set the root password
|
|
passwd
|
|
|
|
# Add a user (this one is called trivernis)
|
|
useradd -m -G wheel -s /bin/nu trivernis
|
|
|
|
# Change the user's password
|
|
passwd trivernis
|
|
|
|
# Enable the wheel group
|
|
EDITOR=/bin/vim visudo # uncomment the corresponding line
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Bootloader (systemd-boot)
|
|
|
|
Add mkinitcpio hooks
|
|
```sh
|
|
# TODO
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Generate initrds
|
|
mkinitcpio -P
|
|
|
|
bootctl install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create records in /boot/loader/entries/
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# arch-zen.conf
|
|
title Arch Linux (linux-zen)
|
|
linux /vmlinuz-linux-zen
|
|
initrd /intel-ucode.img
|
|
initrd /initramfs-linux-zen.img
|
|
options cryptdevice=/dev/nvme0n1p2:cryptroot root=/dev/mapper/cryptroot zswap.enabled=1 intel_pstate=no_hwp rootfstype=btrfs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# arch.conf
|
|
title Arch Linux (linux)
|
|
linux /vmlinuz-linux
|
|
initrd /intel-ucode.img
|
|
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
|
|
options cryptdevice=/dev/nvme0n1p2:cryptroot root=/dev/mapper/cryptroot zswap.enabled=1 intel_pstate=no_hwp rootfstype=btrfs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# arch-fallback.conf
|
|
title Fallback Arch Linux (linux)
|
|
linux /vmlinuz-linux
|
|
initrd /intel-ucode.img
|
|
initrd /initramfs-linux-fallback.img
|
|
options cryptdevice=/dev/nvme0n1p2:cryptroot root=/dev/mapper/cryptroot zswap.enabled=1 intel_pstate=no_hwp rootfstype=btrfs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configure the bootloader with `/boot/loader/loader.conf`
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
timeout 2
|
|
default arch-zen.conf
|
|
console-mode max
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
### Disks
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Create key for /home cryptdevice
|
|
mkdir /etc/keys
|
|
chmod 700 /etc/keys
|
|
dd bs=512 count=4 if=/dev/random of=/etc/keys/crypthome.key iflag=fullblock
|
|
chmod 600 /etc/key/crypthome.key
|
|
cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/sda1 /etc/keys/crypthome.key
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Edit `/etc/cryptab` And add the device with the created key
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Networking
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# set the hostname
|
|
echo archomen > /etc/hostname
|
|
|
|
# Install the networkmanager
|
|
pacman -S networkmanager
|
|
systemctl enable NetworkManager.service --now
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Desktop Environment (KDE)
