Can't install hwd, can't get startx, gdm, etc to work.


I installed Arch with the dual netinstall and choose x86_64

I installed lxde, gdm/gnome

I also made sure this was done:
pacman -S xorg-server xorg-xinit xf86-input-mouse xf86-input-keyboard

I believe it all installed correctly.

I have an Nvidia GT 220, so I:

pacman -S nvidia

This also went well. I can run nvidia-xconfig and it backs up the file fine.


Ok these are the errors I am getting when I try to install pacman -S hwd

error: 'hwd' : Could not find or read package


When I try to run gdm I get:

(gdm-binary:1677):Warning **: Couldn't connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system-bus/socket: No such file or directory


When I try to startx:

/etc/X11/xinitrc: line 48:xterm: Command not found
/etc/X11/xinitrc: line 50: exec: xterm: Command not found
/etc/X11/xinitrc: line 46: twm: Command not found
waiting for xserver to shutdown

Ok I am a little lost. What am I doing wrong? Why can't I install hwd and then run hwd -xa like I am suppose to?

It would probably be better posting this problem at the Arch website forum, doing it now.
