Working inside a VirtualBox virtual machine. Installed Arch Linux using the Archinstall method. Chose KDE as the DE and SDDM as the greeting screen.
Managed to log in once, but after adding a language and rebooting, I didn’t seem to be able to change the keyboard layout, making entering the correct password impossible. I have tried looking up how to switch the keyboard layout, but am coming up with nothing. What is the key combination to change the keyboard layout in SDDM?
Setting up a different virtual machine now.
To use pacman you must have root permissions. You can do this by using
sudo.If your installation is correct, you must just use
sudo pacman -S kdeplasma-addonssudois a command that escalates your user’s privileges to haverootpowerpacman -Sinstalls a packageI was wondering what I was doing wrong with
sudo.And did u find out?
Yeah, I was trying to do stuff like
sudo install. I was not aware that it is used in combination with other commands like that.
