GParted as an ArchISO

An ArchISO profile which contains basic Xorg server and GParted for disk maintenances.

Known issues

Because is my first time using ArchISO, it may have some issues which I’m not sure about.

May cannot work if

• Non-intel GPUs
• Build or run on i386 platforms

My solution

I had built the ISO on my Dell XPS 13 9360 (x86-64 platform) and it works on the laptop and another Huawei laptop (x86-64).

Other Issues

• Cursor isn’t shown before a window is displayed.

Generate ISO

Requirements:

• A running Arch Linux with network connected

0x01 Clone the repo

Clone the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/Trumeet/GPartArch.git

0x02 Build the image

It may take about 5 minutes.

If you had built it before, delete lock files:

Finally, run:

The ISO will be saved in out/

Shutting Down

It will auto shutdown after you exit GParted.
