BlackArch Linux

Things to do after installation

• increase font size in terminal
• check the shell (it's bash)
• add an alias (alias d="ls -al")
• edit /etc/pacman.conf, and add this line: ParallelDownloads = 20
• edit mirror lists in /etc/pacman.d
• try to update the packages: yay
• remove Java: yay -R jdk-openjdk jre-openjdk
• try again: yay
• remove the package calamares: yay -R calamares
• try again: yay
• If we get an error like this: "error: linux-api-headers: signature from "Frederik Schwan [email protected]" is unknown trust :: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-api-headers-6.4-1-any.pkg.tar.zst is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)). Do you want to delete it? [Y/n]" Then:

$ sudo pacman -S archlinux-keyring

$ sudo pacman -Syu

• remove some packages: yay -R python-uvicorn theharvester
• retry: yay
• remove a package: yay -R python-mitmproxy-wireguard
• clean up: yay -Scc
• reboot
• try yay again. You may get an error like this: "error: blackarch: signature from "Levon 'noptrix' Kayan (BlackArch Developer) [email protected]" is unknown trust error: failed to synchronize all databases (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))"

Solution: https://www.blackarch.org/faq.html -> Why do I get invalid keyring signature? -> 2nd option:

$ curl -O https://blackarch.org/strap.sh  
$ chmod u+x strap.sh  
# sha1sum strap.sh: it should match with the information on [downloads](https://blackarch.org/downloads.html)  
$ sudo strap.sh

• run yay again
• reboot
• try again: yay
• optional: install some programs that were removed
  • yay -S jdk17-openjdk
  • archlinux-java status
  • sudo archlinux-java set java-17-openjdk
  • ---
  • yay -S theharvester
• yay -Scc
