These are notes I made when installing Linux EOS/Arch on its own PC.
to install brave browser on EOS/arch do
curl -fsS https://dl.brave.com/install.sh | sh
To install pacman GUI manager
sudo pacman -Syu yay -S pamac-aur
To mount windows NTFS drive to linux, do
sudo mkdir /mnt/g
now mount it, make sure to use same uid and gid as id shows there is no need to change owner on g above, which is owned by root as the mount command below will automatically changed it to user also
>id uid=1000(me) gid=1001(me) groups=1001(me),3(sys),981(rfkill),998(wheel),1000(autologin)
Now do
>sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o uid=1000,gid=1001 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/g #or sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o uid=1000,gid=1001 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/g
Make sure to do /dev/sdb1 and not just /dev/sdb which is what fdisk -l shows. i.e. add 1 at end.
sudo fdisk -l
You see, all files are now owned by me
ls -l /mnt/g total 16 drwxrwxrwx 1 me me 0 Jul 14 2020 '$RECYCLE.BIN' drwxrwxrwx 1 me me 0 Apr 14 2022 nabbasi drwxrwxrwx 1 me me 8192 Apr 15 2022 public_html drwxrwxrwx 1 me me 0 Mar 20 2021 'System Volume Information' drwxrwxrwx 1 me me 0 May 16 2021 Users
To unmount do
sudo umount /mnt/g
If you get this error
>sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o uid=1000,gid=1001 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/g The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0). Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount. Falling back to read-only mount because the NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting.) Could not mount read-write, trying read-only
Then do this
>sudo umount /mnt/g >sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdc1 Mounting volume... The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0). Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount. FAILED Attempting to correct errors... Processing $MFT and $MFTMirr... Reading $MFT... OK Reading $MFTMirr... OK Comparing $MFTMirr to $MFT... OK Processing of $MFT and $MFTMirr completed successfully. Setting required flags on partition... OK Going to empty the journal ($LogFile)... OK Checking the alternate boot sector... OK NTFS volume version is 3.1. NTFS partition /dev/sdc1 was processed successfully. >
Now it mount OK
>sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o uid=1000,gid=1001 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/g >
to install bootles
