Right, I'm trying Arch out as a current Ubuntu user and failing.

Got the base install all sorted, enabled some servers/repositories and now I'm trying to install xorg, but I'm getting errors saying that it's not in the db.

Any Arch users out there to give me a hand? :)
 
I include /etc/pacman.d/core,extra,community

And in those files I have multiple servers enabled...
 
Yeah, I have plenty enabled in all of those.

pacman.log just lists lots of "synchronising package lists"

EDIT: It's possibly trying to install to the wrong partition, I'll get back to you ASAP :)

Yeah, I did that... It decided to change the order of my partitions for some reason. Done a reinstall after working out what was what and appear to be making more progress. Still not got a GUI yet, nvidia drivers to sort next.
 
Right, I now have a working system again! :)

Got compiz installed and working, but the first problem I've come across is horrid fonts in Firefox. They look like something out of a M$ Word promotional leaflet. I want my normal OcUK fonts back, any suggestions?

The box is ticked saying to allow sites to choose their own, so I'm confused. Can I turn on sub-pixel smoothing somewhere like in Ubuntu?
 
I've never had to install MS fonts on Ubuntu and things look fine. I'll get a screenshot next time I boot it up :)

Ta for the link, I'll have a look through some of the stuff on there to see if I can fix it...
 
Maybe I phrased it wrongly. Ubuntu doesn't come with MS fonts, and I've never installed them myself. At least I don't think it does :p
