I successfully broke my computer again. Oops. I can watch systemd boot my system
and then once my display manager (in my case, sddm) takes over, kaput.
---
Once that's happened, I can't do anything else. I can't switch to a text console
because my displays switch themselves off, nor can I start a graphical session
because, again, my displays switch themselves off.
Rebooting yields this:
![Will this ever reboot?](/assets/2016-02-09-linux-on-the-desktop.9b0ec6532b5e.jpg)
(and clicking the reboot button does nothing)
I managed to fix this by booting into EFI shell, then specifying runlevel 3 by booting
the kernel's [EFISTUB](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/EFISTUB). My EFI shell didn't
like the leading slash for some reason. Whatever.
Once that was done, a `pacman -Syu` (which updated the `nvidia` package, among some other things)
and a `mkinitcpio -P linux` got me back up and running.
Simples!

As a followup to my previous post, I was trying to create an Apple Remote Desktop installer. This is usually something that's fairly trivial:
---
1. Open Apple Remote Desktop
2. Open `File` > `Create Client Installer...`
3. Answer wizard questions
4. Profit!
However, on trying this on my 10.11 Server install, I was instead presented with this:
![Apple Remote Desktop error](/assets/2016-01-25-ard-error.6f44efe96257.png)
In theory, ARD is supposed to automatically download components (like the client) which it doesn't have, and I actually managed to coax my local install of ARD, which had previously been giving the same error message, to do so.
In any event, if this happens, you can actually cheat and grab the client yourself from Apple's servers:
[http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/59/10/031-23124/x0sj4t1vbimv6h3ejhjzf3nwa6vt9ekxgd/RemoteDesktopClientShell.pkg](http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/59/10/031-23124/x0sj4t1vbimv6h3ejhjzf3nwa6vt9ekxgd/RemoteDesktopClientShell.pkg)
Not really sure if this is a good idea or not, but it fixed the problem for me!

Just a quick note to remind myself, when I inevitably forget.
The built-in GnuPG smartcard support doesn't really work particularly well, in my experience, with the YubiKey Neo. To fix this (and use pcscd) instead, put the following in `~/.gnupg/scdaemon.conf`:
---
```txt
pcsc-driver /usr/lib/libpcsclite.so
card-timeout 5
disable-ccid
```
