# Archlinux template building instructions
Archlinux template building instructions
===========================================
**These are the instructions for Qubes 3.2. They will take you step by step through the entire process start to finish**
**These are the instructions for Qubes 4.0. They will take you step by step through the entire process start to finish**
*Note: These instructions have not been tested for Qubes 3.1. However they could be working.*
*Note: No binary package for the archlinux template exists for Qubes 3.1.*
## 1: Create and configure VM to use for template building
* The VM should be based on a Fedora template. It's best to use a standalone VM. I created a standalone VM based on
the Fedora 23 template. I named the VM “**development**”. These instructions assume a standalone VM based on a Fedora template is being used.
<br>
<br>
1: Create and configure a qube for template building
------------------------------------------------------------
* The qube should be based on a Fedora template. I named the qube
“**build-archlinux2**”, based on the minimal Fedora template.
![arch-template-01](/attachment/wiki/ArchlinuxTemplate/arch-template-01.png)
<br>
<br>
* Ensure there is at least 25GB preferably 30GB of free space in the private storage. I made the private storage 30GB to be safe.
<br>
<br>
* Ensure there is at least 15GB of free space in the private storage.
![arch-template-02](/attachment/wiki/ArchlinuxTemplate/arch-template-02.png)
<br>
<br>
*Note: Unless otherwise noted, all commands are from within the “development” VM or whatever you named your standalone VM used for building the template.*
## 2: Create GitHub Account (optional)
2: Create GitHub Account (optional)
-------------------------------------------
* It can be helpful. Creating only a basic account is all that is needed. This will allow you to help, going forward, with the Qubes project. You could be help edit errors in documentation. It can also be of use building other templates.
* Create user account here https://github.com
<br>
<br>
![arch-template-03](/attachment/wiki/ArchlinuxTemplate/arch-template-03.png)
<br>
<br>
## 3: Install necessary packages to 'development' VM for "Qubes Automated Build System"
* Necessary packages to install:
* git
* createrepo
* rpm-build
* make
* rpmdevtools
* python3-sh
* dialog
* rpm-sign
* gnupg
* The tools can usually be installed all together with the following terminal command string:
* **$ sudo dnf install git createrepo rpm-build make wget rpmdevtools python3-sh dialog rpm-sign gnupg**
<br>
<br>
![arch-template-04](/attachment/wiki/ArchlinuxTemplate/arch-template-04.png)
<br>
<br>
## 4: Downloading and verifying the integrity of the "Qubes Automated Build System"
3: Install necessary packages to 'build-archlinux2' qube for "Qubes Automated Build System"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
```shell_session
# dnf install git make
```
4: Downloading and verifying the integrity of the "Qubes Automated Build System"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Import the Qubes master key
gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0xDDFA1A3E36879494
```shell_session
$ gpg --import /usr/share/qubes/qubes-master-key.asc
```
* Verify its fingerprint, set as 'trusted'. [This is described here](/doc/VerifyingSignatures).
* Download the Qubes developers' keys.
wget https://keys.qubes-os.org/keys/qubes-developers-keys.asc
gpg --import qubes-developers-keys.asc
* Download the latest stable qubes-builder repository:
git clone git://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-builder.git qubes-builder
![arch-template-05](/attachment/wiki/ArchlinuxTemplate/arch-template-05.png)
* Copy your gpg keyrings to your local copy of the repository. (Otherwise you will be asked to download the keys again.)
# Execute the following commands in your home directory.
# It is assumed that the path to the repository is '~/qubes-builder'.
mkdir -p qubes-builder/keyrings/git
cp -t qubes-builder/keyrings/git/ .gnupg/pubring.gpg .gnupg/trustdb.gpg
```shell_session
$ git clone git://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-builder.git qubes-builder
```
* Verify the integrity of the downloaded repository. The last line should read `gpg: Good signature from`...
```shell_session
$ cd qubes-builder
$ git tag -v $(git describe)
```
* Install the remaining dependencies
```shell_session
$ make install-deps
```
cd qubes-builder
git tag -v `git describe`
## 5: Configuring setup script to create builder.conf file
* You will be creating the builder.conf file which tells where and what to use. The most automated, and in this case the easiest, way to create this is to use the script that is provided in Qubes Builder. Its named '**setup**'. Before running the script you need to edit one file it uses.
*In the future this should not be needed once a change is made to the 'setup' script.*
* Edit the '**qubes-os-r3.2.conf**' which is found in **/home/user/qubes-builder/example-configs** Use the text editor of your choice.
* **$ cd /home/user/qubes-builder/example-configs/**
* **$ nano -W qubes-os-r3.2.conf** or **$ gedit qubes-os-r3.2.conf** or etc….
<br>
<br>
![arch-template-06](/attachment/wiki/ArchlinuxTemplate/arch-template-06.png)
<br>
<br>
* Go to the first line containing '**DISTS_VM ?= fc23**' it will be preceeded by line '**DIST_DOM0 ?= fc20**'. Remove '**fc23**' or whatever is listed there leaving only '**DISTS_VM ?=**'. Then save the file and close the text editor.
<br>
<br>
![arch-template-07](/attachment/wiki/ArchlinuxTemplate/arch-template-07.png)
<br>
<br>
<br>
## 6: Run the 'setup' script to build the builder.conf file
5: Run the 'setup' script to build the builder.conf file
-------------------------------------------------------------
( The manual way would be to copy an example config like '**/home/user/qubes-builder/example-configs/qubes-os-r4.0.conf**' to '**/home/user/qubes-builder/builder.conf**' and edit the file )
* Run the 'setup' script located in '**/home/user/qubes-builder/**' Make sure you are in directory '**qubes-builder**'
```shell_session
$ cd /home/user/qubes-builder/
$ ./setup
```
![arch-template-04](/attachment/wiki/ArchlinuxTemplate/arch-template-04.png)

## 7: Install all the dependencies
*Note: make sure you are in the “qubes-builder” directory to run the following cmds*
* **$ make install-deps**
<br>
<br>
![arch-template-18](/attachment/wiki/ArchlinuxTemplate/arch-template-18.png)
<br>

## 9: Make all the require Qubes Components
6: Get all the require sources for the build
-----------------------------------------------
```shell_session
$ make get-sources
```
7: Make all the require Qubes Components
------------------------------------------------
* **Note:** You can run a single command to build all the Qubes components or you can run them each individually.
Both ways below:
* Single command to build all Qubes components together: (this command can take a long time to process depending of your pc proccessing power)
```shell_session
$ make qubes-vm
```
* These are the indivual component 'make' commands:
```shell_session
$ make vmm-xen-vm
$ make core-vchan-xen-vm
$ make core-qubesdb-vm
$ make linux-utils-vm
$ make core-agent-linux-vm
$ make gui-common-vm
$ make gui-agent-linux-vm
$ make vmm-xen-vm
$ make core-vchan-xen-vm
$ make core-qubesdb-vm
$ make linux-utils-vm
$ make core-agent-linux-vm
$ make gui-common-vm
$ make gui-agent-linux-vm
```
* Single command to build all Qubes components together: (this command can take a long time to process depending of your pc proccessing power)
* **$ make qubes-vm**
<br>
<br>

## 10: Make the actual Archlinux template
* **$ make template**
<br>
<br>
![arch-template-21](/attachment/wiki/ArchlinuxTemplate/arch-template-21.png)
<br>
<br>
## 11: Transfer Template into Dom0
8: Make the actual Archlinux template
----------------------------------------
```shell_session
$ make template
```
9: Transfer Template into Dom0
----------------------------------
* You need to ensure these two files are in the '**noarch**' directory
```shell_session
$ cd /home/user/qubes-builder/qubes-src/linux-template-builder/rpm/
$ ls
install-templates.sh
$ cd noarch
$ ls
qubes-template-archlinux-X.X.X-XXXXXXXXXXXX.noarch.rpm
```
* **$ cd /home/user/qubes-builder/qubes-src/linux-template-builder/rpm/**
* **$ ls** *(confirm the below two files are there)*
* **install-templates.sh** (script to install template in dom0)
* **$ cd noarch**
* **$ ls**
* **qubes-template-archlinux-X.X.X-XXXXXXXXXXXX.noarch.rpm** (this is the template package 'X' replaces version and build digits)
<br>
<br>
![arch-template-22](/attachment/wiki/ArchlinuxTemplate/arch-template-22.png)
<br>
<br>
![arch-template-16](/attachment/wiki/ArchlinuxTemplate/arch-template-16.png)
* **Transfer the install-templates.sh script file into Dom0**
*Note: as there is not a typical file transfer method for Dom0, for security reasons, this less than simple transfer function has to be used*
* Switch to Domo and open a terminal window.
**Note:** Take care when entering these cmd strings. They are very long and have a number of characters that are easy to mix '**-**' vs '**.**' '**<u>T</u>emplates** (correct) vs **<u>t</u>emplates** (wrong) or **Template_**'(also wrong) This script will also take care of transfering the actual template.rpm to Dom0 as well.
* **$ qvm-run --pass-io development 'cat /home/user/qubes-builder/qubes-src/linux-template-builder/rpm/install-templates.sh' > install-templates.sh**
* **$ chmod +x install-templates.sh**
* **$ ./install-templates.sh**

# Known problems in building with Qubes R3.X
## Build fails when fetching qubes-mgmt-salt
The `qubes-mgmt-salt` repo is not currently forked under the marmarek user on
GitHub, to whom the above instructions set the `GIT_PREFIX`. As Archlinux is
not yet supported by mgmt-salt, simply leave it out of the build (when building
the Archlinux template on its own) by appending the following to your `override.conf` file:
`BUILDER_PLUGINS := $(filter-out mgmt-salt,$(BUILDER_PLUGINS))`
## The nm-applet (network manager icon) fails to start when archlinux is defined as a template-vm
In fact /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.conf does not allow a standard user to run network manager clients. To allow this, one need to change inside \<policy context="default"\>:
`<deny send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>`
to
`<allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>`
## DispVM, Yum proxy and most Qubes addons (thunderbird ...) have not been tested at all
## Error when building the gui-agent-linux with pulsecore error
* Switch to Dom0 and open a terminal window.
```shell_session
$ qvm-run --pass-io build-archlinux2 'cat /home/user/qubes-builder/qubes-src/linux-template-builder/rpm/install-templates.sh' > install-templates.sh
$ chmod +x install-templates.sh
$ ./install-templates.sh
```
module-vchan-sink.c:62:34: fatal error: pulsecore/core-error.h: No such file or directory
#include <pulsecore/core-error.h>
* If everything went correct there should be a Archlinux template listed in your Qubes VM Manager
Debugging the build process
===============================
Archlinux use bleeding edge version of everything, so it is usually the
first template to break when new software version came out.
So an important point is to understand how to debug the template, how to fix
it, and then do a pull request :).
[My personal building script is just here](https://github.com/Qubes-Community/Contents/blob/master/code/OS-administration/build-archlinux.sh).
The most important part about this script is where to add custom code that is not in the QubesOS repositories
After the command:
```shell_session
$ make get-sources
```
This error is because Archlinux update package too quickly. Probably, a new version of pulseaudio has been released, but the qubes team has not imported the new development headers yet.
You can create fake new headers just by copying the old headers:
```
cd qubes-builder/qubes-src/gui-agent-linux/pulse
ls
cp -r pulsecore-#lastversion pulsecore-#archlinuxversion
And before the command:
```shell_session
$ make qubes-vm
```
You can check the current archlinux pulseaudio version like this:
you can put your custom code by replacing the qubes-src/ directories.
For example:
`sudo chroot chroot-archlinux/ pacman -Qi pulseaudio`
## chroot-archlinux/dev/pts has not been unmounted
This is a known problem when there are errors during building. Check what is mounted using the command mount (with no parameters). Just unmount what you can (or reboot your vm if you are too lazy :) )
# Known problems in building with Qubes R2-B2
## xen-vmm-vm fail to build with a PARSETUPLE related error (FIXED)
Commenting out "\#define HAVE\_ATTRIBUTE\_FORMAT\_PARSETUPLE" from chroot\_archlinux/usr/include/python2.7/pyconfig.h fixes the problem, but it isn't the right solution [1]...
A better fix is planned for the next python release (the bug is considered release blocking), and will be updated in archlinux chroot as soon as available.
[1] [https://bugs.python.org/issue17547](https://bugs.python.org/issue17547)
## The boot process fails without visible errors in the logs, but spawn a recovery shell
The problem is new conflict between systemd and the old sysvinit style. To fix this, you can change the master xen template in dom0 to remove sysvinit remains: Edit **INSIDE DOM0** /usr/share/qubes/vm-template.conf, and change the variable 'extra' that contains the kernel variables: from:
`extra="ro nomodeset 3 console=hvc0 rd_NO_PLYMOUTH {kernelopts}"`
to:
`extra="ro nomodeset console=hvc0 rd_NO_PLYMOUTH {kernelopts}"`
## Qubes-OS is now using different xenstore variable names, which makes to archlinux VM failing to boot
Apply the following fix in the template to revert the variable name to the old Qubes version.
You can edit the template the following way:
```
sudo mkdir /mnt/vm
sudo mount /var/lib/qubes/vm-templates/archlinux-x64/root.img /mnt/vm
sudo chroot /mnt/vm
```shell_session
$ rm -Rf "$directory/qubes-src/gui-agent-linux/"
$ cp -R ~/qubes-gui-agent-linux "$directory/qubes-src/gui-agent-linux"
```
Then apply the fix:
Example
-----------------------
Launch the build
```shell_session
$ ./build_arch.sh
```
sudo sed 's:qubes-keyboard:qubes_keyboard:g' -i /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/qubes-keymap.sh

make[1]: *** [Makefile:64: rootimg-build] Error 1
~~~~
The xorg-server package was probably updated to a version greater than 1.20.7.
Let's search what is the current version of xorg-server... Currently, it is
**1.20.7-1**.
Nor a hotfix nor a minor version change is likely to break things.
So let's find the dependency for "**xorg-server<1.20.7**" and change it to
"**xorg-server<1.21**".
```shell_session
$ rg -iuu "xorg-server<1.20.7" ./qubes-builder/qubes-src/ 2> /dev/null
./qubes-builder/qubes-src/gui-agent-linux/archlinux/PKGBUILD
55: 'xorg-server>=1.20.4' 'xorg-server<1.20.7'
```
So we need to modify the file **/archlinux/PKGBUILD** of the repository
"qubes-gui-agent-linux".
Let's clone "qubes-gui-agent-linux", be sure to checkout the correct
branch (exemple: release4.0 instead of master ), and then edit the **/archlinux/PKGBUILD**
to do the modification you want to try.
In your building script, right before the "make qubes-vm", remove the existing
"gui-agent-linux" folder, and replace it with your own.
Exemple, add this to the script
sudo sed 's:qubes-vm-type:qubes_vm_type:g' -i /usr/lib/qubes/init/qubes-sysinit.sh
```shell_session
$ rm -Rf "~/qubes-builder/qubes-src/gui-agent-linux/"
$ cp -R ~/qubes-gui-agent-linux "~/qubes-builder/qubes-src/gui-agent-linux"
```
and retry to build the template.
If it build successfully and that the template work as expected, do a pull request on github to share your fix.
sudo sed 's:qubes-ip:qubes_ip:g' -i /usr/lib/qubes/setup-ip
sudo sed 's:qubes-netmask:qubes_netmask:g' -i /usr/lib/qubes/setup-ip

Debugging the qube runtime
================================================================
If you are able to launch a terminal and execute command, just use your usual
archlinux-fu to fix the issue.
If you are not able to launch a terminal, then, shutdown the qube, create a new
DisposableVM, [mount the Archlinux disk in the DisposableVM](/doc/mount-lvm-image/), chroot to it, and then use
your archlinux-fu.
Below, and example of this kind of debugging [that happened on
reddit](https://old.reddit.com/r/Qubes/comments/eg50ne/built_arch_linux_template_and_installed_but_app/):

Question
------------------------------
Hello.
I just built archlinux template and moved to dom0 and installed the template.
Then I tryied to open a terminal in archlinux TemplateVM, but it shows nothing.
Can you please check this logs and please tell me what is wrong. Thanks
I searched the word 'Failed" and found few.

Answer
---------
I tried to rebuild archlinux and got the same issue.
The issue come from a systemd unit named "qubes-mount-dirs". We want to know more about that. We can't execute command into the qube, so let's shut it down.
Then, we mount the archlinux root disk into a DisposableVM (
[mount_lvm_image.sh](https://github.com/Qubes-Community/Contents/blob/master/code/OS-administration/mount_lvm_image.sh)
& [mount-lvm-image](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/mount-lvm-image/) )
```shell_session
$ ./mount_lvm_image.sh /dev/qubes_dom0/vm-archlinux-minimal-root fedora-dvm
```
then in the newly created DisposableVM we mount the disk and chroot to it
```shell_session
# mount /dev/xvdi3 /mnt
# chroot /mnt
```
Then check the journal:

That is definitely something that we want to be working. So the binary cmp is missing, let's find it:
```shell_session
# pacman -Fy cmp
```
It is in "**core/diffutils**", that, for some unknown reason, is not installed.
Let's modify the archlinux template builder to add this package. Modify the files **qubes-builder/qubes-src/builder-archlinux/script/packages*** to add the diffutils, and rebuild the template.
Why this package was not installed in the first place? I am unsure. It could be that it was a dependency of the package "**xf86dgaproto**" that was removed few days ago, but I don't have the PKGBUILD of this package since it was deleted, so can't confirm. It can be something else too.
I rebuild the template with those modification, and it is working as expected.
I will send a pull request. Does someone have a better idea on "Why 'diffutils' was not installed in the first place?" ?

Creating a archlinux repository
===========================
Once the template have been build, you could use the generated archlinux packages to create your own archlinux repository for QubesOS packages.
You need to:
* Sign the packages with your GPG key
* Host the packages on your HTTP server
I will assume that you already have a working http server.
So you need to sign the packages and transmit everything to the qubes that will upload them to your http server.
The script "**update-remote-repo.sh**" of the qubes-builder-archlinux repository can do that.
Below, an example of code that sign the packages + template rpm file, and transmit everything to another qube.
```bash
$directory/qubes-src/builder-archlinux/update-remote-repo.sh
rpmfile=$(ls -1 $directory/qubes-src/linux-template-builder/rpm/noarch/*.rpm | head -n 1)
qubes-gpg-client-wrapper --detach-sign $rpmfile > $rpmfile.sig
qvm-copy $rpmfile
qvm-copy $rpmfile.sig
qvm-copy $directory/qubes-packages-mirror-repo/vm-archlinux/pkgs/
```
Do not forgot to unmount the VM:
Upload everything to your http server, and you are good.
You can now modify the file "**/etc/pacman.d/99-qubes-repository-4.0.conf**" in your archlinux template to use your repository.
Example of content for this file (replace the server url with your own):
`umount /mnt/vm`
## Installing the template in dom0 fails because of a missing dependency (qubes-core-dom0-linux)
Again you built a template based on a recent Qubes API which has not been released yet. So skip the dependency for now
`sudo rpm -U --nodeps yourpackage.rpm`
```
[qubes]
Server = https://neowutran.ovh/qubes/vm-archlinux/pkgs
```

# Archlinux Template
Archlinux template is one of the templates made by Qubes community. It should
be considered experimental as Qubes developers team use mainly Fedora-based VMs
to test new features/updates.
Main maintainer of this template is [Olivier Médoc](mailto:o_medoc@yahoo.fr).
Updates for this template are provided by [Olivier Médoc](mailto:o_medoc@yahoo.fr) and are signed by the following key:
pub 2048R/2043E7ACC1833B9C 2014-03-27 [expires: 2018-03-29]
Key fingerprint = D85E E12F 9678 51CC F433 515A 2043 E7AC C183 3B9C
uid Olivier MEDOC (Qubes-OS signing key) <o_medoc@yahoo.fr>
## Installation
A prebuilt template is available only for Qubes 3.2. Before Qubes 3.2, it should be compiled from source as described in [building-archlinux-template](/doc/building-archlinux-template/).
[user@dom0 ~]$ sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-templates-community qubes-template-archlinux
## Binary packages activation
The Qubes update repository is disabled by default in the Archlinux template. You can however choose to trust it by registering it into pacman.
Since November 2017, an activation package is present in the template. The update repository can thus be activated by running the following command inside the template:
# pacman -sU /etc/pacman.d/qubes-vm-keyring*.pkg.tar.xz
It should be noted to this command will create a trust for packages provided by [Olivier Médoc](mailto:o_medoc@yahoo.fr) and signed by the PGP key above.
If the qubes-vm-keyring package is not present in `/etc/pacman.d/`, please refer to the section #Activating binary packages manually.
## Optional Qubes packages
Several Qubes packages are not necessarily installed by default in the Archlinux Template. These packages can be installed to add additional functionnalities to the template:
* `qubes-vm-networking`: Contains Qubes tools and dependencies required to use the template as a NetVM/ProxyVM
* `qubes-vm-pulseaudio`: Contains `Pulseaudio` agent enabling sound support in the template
## Default template packages
In order to keep the template as small and simple as possible, default installed package have been arbitrarily selected based on multiple subjective criterias that however essentially include libraries dependencies. This packages are:
* Some font packages to keep good user experience
* leafpad: a note pad
* xfce4-terminal: a terminal
* thunar: a file browser that supports mounting usb keys
* firefox: web browser
* thunderbird: a mail browser
* evince: a document viewer
Note that Archlinux does not install GUI packages by default as this decision is left to users. These packages have only been selected to have a usable template.
## Activating binary packages manually
Enable the repository by running the following command:
# rm /etc/pacman.d/99-qubes-repository-3.2.conf
# ln -s /etc/pacman.d/99-qubes-repository-3.2.disabled /etc/pacman.d/99-qubes-repository-3.2.conf
Then you need to install and sign the public GPG key of the package maintainer (note that accessing to GPG servers requires to temporarily disable the firewall in your template):
# pacman-key --recv-key 2043E7ACC1833B9C
# pacman-key --finger 2043E7ACC1833B9C
If the fingerprint is correct, you can then sign the key:
# pacman-key --lsign-key 2043E7ACC1833B9C
## Updating a Qubes-3.2 Archlinux Template
Because of changes in the Qubes-4.0 partition layout, and usage of XEN HVMs instead of pv-guests. It is not straightforward to update a Qubes-3.2 template to Qubes-4.0.
For this reason, it is recommended to start from a new template in Qubes-4.0.
## Updating a Qubes-3.1 Archlinux Template
If you decide to use binary packages but that you were using a Qubes-3.1 Template, you can follow these instructions to enable Qubes 3.2 agents.
You can use a template that you built for Qubes 3.1 in Qubes 3.2. The qrexec and gui agent functionalities should still be working so that you can at least open a terminal.
In order to enable binary packages for Qubes 3.2, add the following lines to the end of /etc/pacman.conf
```
[qubes-r3.2]
Server = http://olivier.medoc.free.fr/archlinux/current/
```
You should then follow the instruction related to pacman-key in order to sign the binary packages PGP key. With the key enabled, a pacman update will update qubes agents:
` # pacman -Suy `
The two lines that have just been added to /etc/pacman.conf should then be removed as they have been included in the qubes-vm-core update in the file `/etc/pacmand.d/99-qubes-repository-3.2.conf`
## Known Issues
### Package cannot be updated because of errors related to xorg-server or pulseaudio versions
The Qubes GUI agent must be rebuilt whenever xorg-server or pulseaudio make major changes.
If an update of one of these packages causes your template to break, simply [revert it](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/software-update-vm/#reverting-changes-to-a-templatevm) and wait for corresponding Qubes package updates to be available (or attempt to build them yourself, if you're so inclined).
This should not happen frequently.
### qubes-vm is apparently starting properly (green dot) however graphical applications do not appear to work
They are multiple potential reasons. Some of them are described in the following issue:
* https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2612
In issue 2612, check that the option `noauto` is present for all lines in /etc/fstab related to /rw or /home. This bug can appear if you come from an old Archlinux Template (pre February 2017).
## Debugging a broken VM
In order to identify the issue, you should start by getting a console access to the VM:
* Either by running in dom0 `qvm-run --pass-io --nogui yourbrokenvm 'your command here'`
* Or by running in dom0 `sudo xl console yourbrokenvm`
Start by trying to run a GUI application such as xfce4-terminal in order to identify any error message.
Then you can check potential broken systemd service by running the following command inside the broken vm: `systemctl | grep fail`.
If you identified a broken service check `journalctl -la -u yourbrokenservice`. If not check `journalctl -b` for errors.
Finally, errors related to the GUI agent can be found inside the VM in `/home/user/.xsession-errors`
## Packages manager wrapper
Powerpill is a full Pacman wrapper that not only gives easy proxy configuration but further offers numerous other advantages.

[XYNE's (dev) Powerpill](http://xyne.archlinux.ca/projects/powerpill/)
**Important Note:** As you are working in a template vm, by default, you will have to open network access to the template to download files manually, except for managed packages which should be handled by the Qubes proxy. You can use the "allow full access for" a given time period in the FW settings of the template in the VMM or open up the various services through the same window. Remember to change it back if you choose the later route. Actions needing network access will be noted with (needs network access)

##### **1: Editing Pacman's configuration file (pacman.conf)** #####
* Open archlinux terminal app
* edit /etc/pacman.conf
* **$ sudo nano -w /etc/pacman.conf**
* Below is the output of a correct pacman.conf file Make the changes so your file matches this one or rename the original and create a new one and copy and paste this text into it. Text should be justified left in the file. The changes from your default are to make gpg signing mandatory for packages but not required for DBs for the archlinux repos. Also to add the repo (at the end) for the Powerpill package.

##### **2: Setting Up GPG** (needs network access) #####
* Initialize GPG Keyring
* **$ sudo pacman-key --init**
* Populate the keyring with Archlinux master keys
* **$ sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux**
* Confirm keys with those at [Archlinux Master Keys](https://www.archlinux.org/master-keys/)
* For more information on Pacman key signing: [Pacman Package Key Signing](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman/Package_signing)

<br>
##### **3: Install Powerpill (Pacman wrapper)** #####
* **$ sudo pacman -S powerpill**
<br>
<br>
##### **4: Install Reflector** #####
*Note: It scripts mirror updating. Grabbing the most up to date gen mirror list. It ranks them by most recently sync'd. Then ranks them on fastest speed. Also can be used by Powerpill config to allow a once stop conf file for all if so wanted.*
* **$ sudo pacman -S reflector**
Note: You can combine package downloads: **$ sudo pacman -S powerpill reflector**
<br>
<br>
##### **5: Backup mirrorlist prior to first running Reflector.** #####
Note: For info on Reflector and its configs: [Reflector](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Reflector)
* **$ sudo cp /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.bkup**
<br>
<br>
##### **6: Setup mirrolist with Reflector** (needs network access)** #####
*Note: Look at the Reflector page to decide what filter and argument string you wish to run. Below is a default string that will work for most all to setup a working basic mirrorlist.
*Look to Reflector pages or --help for more info on args and filters.*
* **$ sudo reflector --verbose -l 5 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist**
* The above ranks all the most up to date and sorts for the 5 fastest
* You can confirm the new list by opening the newly created mirrorlist.
<br>
<br>
##### **7: Configure Powerpill configuration file to use Qubes Proxy Service** #####
* Qubes Proxy Address: **10.137.255.254:8082**
* Edit **powerpill.json** (powerpill config file)
* **$ sudo nano -w /etc/powerpill/powerpill.json**
* Add line '**--all-proxy=10.137.255.254:8082**' at the bottom of the list under the **"aria2"** section under the **"args"** line. Example below:
<br>
{
"aria2": {
"args": [
"--allow-overwrite=true",
"--always-resume=false",
"--auto-file-renaming=false",
"--check-integrity=true",
"--conditional-get=true",
"--continue=true",
"--file-allocation=none",
"--log-level=error",
"--max-concurrent-downloads=100",
"--max-connection-per-server=5",
"--min-split-size=5M",
"--remote-time=true",
"--show-console-readout=true",
"--all-proxy=10.137.255.254:8082"
],
"path": "/usr/bin/aria2c"
},

##### **8: Test Powerpill Configuration** #####
*Note: Powerpill uses and passes the same syntax as pacman*
* Configure Archlinux Template to only use the Qubes Proxy Update Service
* In the Qubes VM Manager under Archlinux FW tab make sure only the access check box for update proxy is on. All others should be set to deny.
* **$ sudo powerpill -Syu**
* You should get a similar output as below:
<br>

<br>
<br>
**Remember you must open up network access anytime you wish to run the Reflector script to update the mirrorlist. This page will be updated when/if this situation changes.**
### **If the above checks out, you can start using your new Archlinux Template** ###
