@amoka, that's a temporary issue. It will be solved when archiso 46 is released and lands in extra.

To use mkinitcpio-archiso-git instead of mkinitcpio-archiso:

  1. Setup a custom local repo and add mkinitcpio-archiso-git to it. Alternatively use an AUR helper that uses a custom local repo.
  2. Add the repo to configs/*/pacman.conf. There's an example at the end of the file.
  3. Replace mkinitcpio-archiso with mkinitcpio-archiso-git in configs/*/packages.x86_64.

Could you please explain a bit more about the new bootmodes options?

I boot my systems in UEFI mode only, so I modified bootmodes in profiledef.sh to:

bootmodes=('uefi-x64.systemd-boot.esp' 'uefi-x64.systemd-boot.eltorito')

But the build fails with error related to "can't stat archiso.img"

The package is now updated to v46 (which should work with the version of mkinitcpio-archiso in [extra]).

If you want to test latest changes in mkinitcpio-archiso please follow the instructions as outlined by nl6720.

@nl6720 Thanks. Working fine with customrepo for now!

Failed to build with this:

error: target not found: mkinitcpio-archiso ==> ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root

@nl6720 Wow! Thanks, much appreciated!

I agree, it's a little more work than before with the script, but it works just as fine.

I also created /etc/sudoers.d/ with a custom file for sudo access.

You guys are the best :)

nl6720 commented on 2020-07-20 09:49 (UTC)

Yes customize_airootfs.sh is going away. After it's gone, creating additional users is going to be ugly. https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/merge_requests/44/diffs?commit_id=5b1d02414490246035694a4bc30be8e83f342152 should improve things regarding file permissions.

Basically you will need to manually edit /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group and /etc/gshadow. For example:

configs/releng/airootfs/etc/passwd:

root:x:0:0:root:/root:/usr/bin/zsh
testuser:x:1000:1000::/home/testuser:/usr/bin/zsh

Create a password with openssl passwd -6 and add it to configs/releng/airootfs/etc/shadow:

root::14871::::::
testuser:$6$testsalt$tJbUl1kXqW33QAR3uSZ526jhi2VR/8b5Oc.fgGcuj1amRP1gtYnGoqbDwnND9jnHaR.tZ1.Uag0nWYDafTUxX0:14871::::::

Add the user's group and the groups which they'll part of to configs/releng/airootfs/etc/group:

root:x:0:root
adm:x:4:testuser
wheel:x:10:testuser
testuser:x:1000:

Create configs/releng/airootfs/etc/gshadow:

root:::root
testuser:!::

Thanks @nl6720 for the awesome work!

Sorry if it's not related, but it looks like the customize_airootfs.sh script is being deprecated (soon): https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso/-/merge_requests/44/diffs?commit_id=e94e1b1f4123a28b0535b9f15b2665ff32c386f9

In this case, what's the best way to add a non-root user (with proper permissions and home directory)?

The archiso upstream has moved to Arch Linux' gitlab instance: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/archiso

Below you can find a patch for the current changes (e.g. edk2-shell is now a required dependency):
