-This post summarizes how I install and dual-boot Arch GNU/Linux
-with Full-Disk Encryption alongside macOS. It is not meant to be a
-replacement for the
-Installation
-Guide or the former
-Beginner's
-Guide. Rather, it mostly serves as a small summary with a few
-useful notes about the gotchas.
-
-So, make sure you understand what you type into your terminal. If
-you don't, checking out the Arch wiki should probably be your first
-step.
-
-Note: you will need internet access throughout the
-installation and the MacBook Air's WiFi doesn't work out of the box on
-Arch. I recommend using an Ethernet-USB adapter or your phone's USB
-Tethering feature (if it does support it).
-
-Shrinking the macOS partition
-The first step I take is resizing the HFS+ macOS partition to make
-room for the new GNU/Linux installation. There are plenty of
-tutorials on how to do this using macOS's Disk Utility, so do that and
-then come back!
-
-Creating a bootable Arch Installer USB
-There are different ways of creating a bootable Arch USB, all
-documented on the
-USB
-flash installation media page on the Arch wiki, but the simplest
-one is using dd
if you already have access to another
-UNIX system.
-
-Warning: make sure you backup the
-data on your flash drive, as dd
will irrevocably destroy
-all data on it.
-
-Use lsblk
to find the name (block device) of your USB drive, then
-run dd
(as root) as shown below:
-
-
-dd bs=4M if=/path/to/archlinux.iso of=/dev/sdx status=progress && sync
-
-
-Replace /path/to/archlinux.iso
with the path to the
-Arch image you have downloaded, and /dev/sdx
with your
-drive.
-
-Booting up from the USB
-After creating the install USB, reboot your laptop and hold the alt
-key and boot from the USB.
-
-When booting is complete and you're presented with the prompt, it's
-a good time to make sure you're connected to the internet (see the
-note at the top of this post).
-
-Use ping
to verify that you have established a
-connection:
-
-
-ping archlinux.org
-
-
-Updating the system clock
-Once you're connected to the internet, make sure the system clock
-is accurate:
-
-
-timedatectl set-ntp true # start and enable systemd-timesyncd
-
-
-You can check the service status using timedatectl
-status
.
-
-Partitioning
-I won't dive into partitioning and instead, I will refer you to the
-Partitioning
-page of Arch wiki. Of the available partitioning tools, I personally
-prefer cfdisk
.
-
-Setting up LVM & LUKS
-I use an
-LVM
-on LUKS setup, where I set up LVM on top of the encrypted
-partition.
-
-First, let's set up the underlying encrypted partition:
-
-
-cryptsetup -v --cipher aes-xts-plain64 --key-size 512 --hash sha512 \
- --iter-time 5000 --use-urandom -y luksFormat /dev/sdaX
-
-
-where /dev/sdaX
is the partition you created in the
-last step (e.g. /dev/sda4
). For more information about
-the cryptsetup
options, see the
-LUKS
-encryption options.
-
-Then we open the container:
-
-
-cryptsetup open --type luks /dev/sdaX lvm
-
-
-Now it's time to use lvm and prepare the logical volume(s):
-
-
-pvcreate /dev/mapper/lvm vgcreate vg /dev/mapper/lvm
-lvcreate --extents +100%FREE -n root vg
-
-
-This will create a physical volume on the mapping we just opened,
-create a volume group named vg
on the physical volume,
-and create a logical volume named root
that spans the
-entire volume group. More complex setups are possible thanks to the
-great flexibility of lvm.
-
-We now format the logical volume with ext4
:
-
-
-mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/vg-root
-
-
-Installing the base system
-Let's mount the logical volume, make a directory for the mount
-point of the boot partition, and mount the boot partition
-(/dev/sda1
):
-
-
-mount /dev/mapper/vg-root /mnt
-mkdir /mnt/boot
-mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot
-
-
-Finally, let's install the base system (and optionally
-base-devel
):
-
-
-pacstrap /mnt base base-devel
-
-
-Configuring the system
-Let's generate the fstab:
-
-
-genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
-
-
-Use your favorite terminal-based editor, edit the fstab file and
-add the discard
option for the root partition to enable
-TRIM on the SSD.
-
-Now we change root into our newly installed system and will
-configure it. Adjust these according to your own setup.
-
-
-arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash
-passwd # set the root password
-echo myhostname > /etc/hostname # set the hostname
-ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Eastern /etc/localtime # time zone
-hwclock --systohc --utc # write system clock to hardware clock (UTC)
-useradd -m -G wheel -s /bin/bash myuser # create myuser
-passwd myuser # set the password for myuser
-echo "myuser ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" >> /etc/sudoers.d/myuser
-# uncomment en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 and other needed locales in /etc/locale.gen
-locale-gen
-echo LANG=en_US.UTF-8 > /etc/locale.conf
-export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
-
-
-Then adjust the initramfs hooks in
-/etc/mkinitcpio.conf
and enable the
-encrypt
and lvm2
hooks, and make sure
-keyboard
is available before encrypt
so you
-can actually type in the LUKS password when booting. Your
-HOOKS
line should look similar to this:
-
-
-HOOKS=(base udev autodetect keyboard keymap consolefont modconf block encrypt lvm2 filesystems fsck)
-
-
-After adjusting the hooks, build the initramfs:
-
-
-mkinitcpio -p linux
-
-
-Create the /boot/loader/loader.conf
with the following
-content (adjust the timeout to your liking):
-
-
-default arch timeout 3
-
-
-Then create the entry for Arch:
-
-
-mkdir -p /boot/loader/entries
-touch /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf
-
-
-Now edit /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf
to specify the
-Arch entry:
-
-
-title Arch GNU/Linux
-linux /vmlinuz-linux
-initrd /intel-ucode.img
-initrd /initramfs-linux.img
-options cryptdevice=/dev/sdaX:vg:allow-discards root=/dev/mapper/vg-root rw
-
-
-Again, /dev/sdaX
is the partition you created in the
-partitioning step earlier as the underlying encrypted partition.
-
-Finally, install the bootloader, exit the chroot, umount and
-reboot!
-
-
-bootctl install
-exit
-umount -R /mnt
-reboot
-
-
-Post-installation recommendations
-Congratulations! You now have a minimal Arch installation.
-
-At this point, I usually install my favorite AUR helper,
-pacaur, then
-I install the
-mba6x_bl-dkms
-backlight driver to fix the post suspend/resume issue where there's no
-brightness after waking up from suspend, and the only available
-brightness would be 100%.
-
-
-pacaur -S linux-headers dkms # linux-headers is required for dkms
-pacaur -S broadcom-wl-dkms
-pacaur -S mba6x_bl-dkms
-
-
-Then, I'd like to install
-
-- input, graphics, and sound drivers,
-- a desktop environment (I prefer Xfce or LXQt),
-- a display manager for login screen (lightdm or sddm), and
-- a network manager (NetworkManager or ConnMan).
-

-Check out the
-General
-recommendations for more details.

-Here are some resources I've come across each with lots of useful
-bits and pieces, about installing Arch on a MacBook:
