Arch on Kenno's Open Note

bash: append_path: command not found

I have a few Raspberry Pi at home, they’re used for specific purposes such as Kodi media player, Pi-hole server, and a backup DNS/DHCP server. Recently, I need to turn on the backup DNS/DHCP server, which is one of the Raspberry Pi devices running Arch Linux.

When I logged into to the server, I saw a message complaining that bash: append_path: command not found. It’s been so long since this little server, so I can’t remember what happened last time.

How to Update Packages on Arch Linux

Finally, I got Arch installed on my ThinkPad X220. This also means that I will need to learn how to install and update software from scratch again. But that’s the fun part, isn’t it? :)

Like many other distros, before we can update the installed packages, we need to update the software database (i.e. updated list from the repositories):

[root@tora ~]# pacman -Syy

Note the above command is similar to apt-get update in Debian/Ubuntu.

Here is one way to do it, thanks to this Stack Overflow question. (Alternatively, check man nmcli and man nmcli-examples which have detailed information):
