Live-CD versions for Arch come and go, so it's not that easy to find them, however, I dug some up: http://archbang.org/ https://godane.wordpress.com/ ? I hope you can just run the iso in some virtual machine. It's likely not as up-to-date as the average arch users system, but I guess you could update it.

I can confirm that I don't get any debug logging - have write perms and space but no file created. However, I don't get any error messages when exiting. My slight difference is that I'm running parabola (completely libre arch linux) so my python2 package comes from parabola rather than arch.

A default arch installation doesn't contain X let alone any programs for viewing images, pdf etc. So shipping a default mailcap would not make any sense nor could ever be workable. Arch isn't really a distro for people who want things to 'just work' but more for tinkerers and those that know what they want and how to do it. -- Mark

Hi there, I'm a new notmuch/alot user, this is my first mail since I switched from sup. Yes, switched. notmuch/alot works for me well enough now to be usable. I run Arch Linux. Here's some information for fellow Archers: PKGBUILD for alot-git: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=54955 Should work just fine. If you want to help debug alot, change _gitname=master to the name of the branch, build and install as usual. You should currently avoid the alot PKGBUILD from AUR, it also points to git and has some other mistakes. I'll see to it that it gets deleted and maybe put a PKGBUILD with the release-version into its place. Another little trap: Arch doesn't supply a mailcap file, alot needs it for all those funky html mails. As a solution until alot handles those mails better: create ~/.mailcap put the following line into it: text/html; /usr/bin/lynx -dump '%s'; copiousoutput; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html Hope that helps, thanks Patrick for writing alot, fixing bugs and helping with the config. Regards, Philipp
