Arch won't start , probably due to Catalyst

Hello,
I have a small (Big) problem on my computer , that probleme made me whype my HDD thrice for now , because like said in the title my ARCH setup won't start , so here is the problem : The loading is stuck after those few lines :
//Talking about the number of blocks in /dev/sda3
[ OK ]Reached dhcpcd on eno1
[ OK ]Reached target Multi-user system
[ OK ]Reached target Graphical Interface
[ OK ]Reached target Network
The things I know about this problem :
-First happened when installing Catalyst
-I did a very small install with the base / base-devel / skype / gnome / gnome-extra / xorg and the Unoficial catalyst repo (I think I forget nothing ...)
-It happened with or without xf86-video-ati
-It is stuck there. It won't let me do anything
-Due to the xorg116 bug with catalyst I used the unofficial xorg115 repo each time
Unfortunately each time I did a
systemctl enable gdm
so I can't do any test.
Anyone has a clue of what is happening ? I tried using lxdm for example , but since it did not work very fast , I did not use it , and I had forgoten to add Catalyst that time.
So should I stick with the xf86-video-ati , use lxdm (or an other display manager) or do another thing ?

So know , with tying to use the startx command I think I can say that the problem is not GNOME but the drivers ....
Because startx crashed , and the log (http://pastebin.com/tTndn5ep) complains about a "dri3" module that is not found (look at about line 610)
This is a more problematic thing I think
And by the way I don't have the package xorg-twm

    Well check your file system for errors.
    The first line reads:
    /dev/sda3 contains a file system with errors. check forced.
    Kind of bites you in the nose doesn't it . Actually, *everything* you need to know is in that chunk of text you posted.
    I trust you not only ran a check but also allowed the check to fix what was broken (considered your important data is backed up)?

  • Re: Satellite won't start up due to virus

    One of my computers got a virus and it was passed onto my Satellite Toshiba Notebook by a USB stick.
    Now when i turn my laptop on, the Screen lights up, but remains blank (except for the mouse).
    I tried System Restore- it didn't work; I had three restrore points- and each of them said that the system restore did not work successfully due to a system error.
    I also checked the memory and everything- but I'm avoiding the System Recovery (the one where all files will be deleted) as i desperately need to keep my files.
    What can i do to solve my problem??

    Probably too lat now but here's hoping. If you were able to try a system restore then the computer is working but Windows is broken. Get along to WHSmith or your favourite newsagent and find a Linux magazine with a free distribution of Linux that can be run from the cd/dvd. Change the BIOS setting on your laptop to boot from CD/dvd (optical drive) and re-boot with the Linux disc in the cdrom drive. You should then be able to access your data on the hard drive and write it to a memory stick or 3 (or more), Remember it is only the data you want but do not forget your email address book.
    VERY IMPORTANT. When you put the memory stick in another computer, get it scanned by you anti-virus software before doing anything else. Do not even "open folder to view files" until you have run the virus scan.
    If you have only one memory stick and too much data, save the first batch to another computer AFTER the virus check then note what has been transferred, clear the memory stick and go back to the laptop for the next instalment. Repeat process as often as necessary until all data is retrieved, remembering to virus scan the stick each time before dumpinng its content to another computer.
    When all your data is safe, run the Toshiba system restore.
    Sorry this response is so long after the event but this is the first time I have looked at the forums.
    As you might guess, I am a retired computer support professional. Do not be afraid of Linux. A free "distro" that runs from the cd/dvd will not need to install anything on your Hard Disk Drive and is not complicated to run.
    My own solution would be to remove the hdd and install it in a usb portable drive enclosure but that would probably invalidate your warranty.

  • [SOLVED] Arch won't start, uefi lenovo B570

    Hi, i am trying to install arch on my lenovo B570 laptop. I downloaded the latest iso from the site and used usb universal installer to create usb install media. In the boot options of my laptop i pick the usb as the first boot device and run it. I can see the efi menu and i pick arch_x86_64, but it seems to me that gummiboot is not firing. After this i only see black screen, and the usb stops blinking. After a while (3-4 min) the lap-top restarts. In the options of my bios i can't find anything like secure boot option, i have read on the forum similar issues and someone said that this should be disabled, but i don't see any option like so. My bios is very primitive, there is only boot order to set and nothing else.
    Thanks!

    I prepared the usb inside Lubuntu, i used gpadted to create new msdos partition table (mbr) and removed any partitions.
    I created new partition FAT32 with label "ARCH_201212" and formated the drive. I created two folders inside /mnt, one "iso" and one "usb". I mounted the usb and iso like this:
    mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb
    mount /home/stefo/Downloads/archlinux-2012.12.01-dual.iso /mnt/iso
    Then copied everything from the iso to the usb:
    cp -r /mnt/iso /mnt/usb
    Unmounted and synced:
    umount /mnt/{usb,iso}
    sync
    EDIT: I also tried with fdisk...
    When i try to create new partition table with fdisk on my usb i get this:
    Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0x601ad71e.
    Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
    After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable.
    Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)
    EDIT: When i create new partition table and new FAT32 partition with fdisk, and then try to mount like this:
    mount /dev/sdb1 -t vfat /mnt/usb
    I get this, and the usb is not mounted:
    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
           missing codepage or helper program, or other error
           In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
           dmesg | tail  or so
    dmesg | tail
    [ 1678.604687] FAT-fs (sdb1): bogus number of reserved sectors
    [ 1678.604696] FAT-fs (sdb1): Can't find a valid FAT filesystem
    EDIT: My mistake sorry, i didn't used mkfs.vfat -F32 to format the partition, i forgot to do that
    EDIT: When i try this, i get Permission denied:
    sudo awk 'BEGIN {FS="="} /archisolabel/ {print $3}' /mnt/iso/loader/entries/archiso-x86_64.conf | xargs mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1 -n
    EDIT: I don't know why the previous command didn't worked but this one worked:
    sudo mkfs.vfat -F32 -n `awk 'BEGIN {FS="="} /archisolabel/ {print $3}' /mnt/iso/loader/entries/archiso-x86_64.conf` /dev/sdb1
    Just to check i open gparted and i can see my usb /dev/sdb, one partition sdb1 FAT32 label: ARCH_201212. I copied the content from the iso to the usb, unmounted both the iso and usb folders and sycned, and again i get black screen..

  • Since I installed Nero 2104 I get an error message when I try to start iTunes: registry settings changed probably due to other cd/dvd burning program please reinstall iTunes, which I've done using repair option but the problem persists...?

    Since I installed Nero 2014 I get an error message when I start iTunes that registry settings for importing and burning cds/dvds have changed probably due to other burning software installed please reinstall iTunes, which I've done using 'repair' option, but the problem persists. I have been able to import cds to iTunes since I installed Nero, but it won't anymore. Does anyone recognize this problem and have a solution? Thanks for any help. Using Windows 7.

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

    If you're still getting the error message (especially when you plug in the Touch), I'd check for a device filter confusion on the PC. (They can affect the connection of USB devices to a PC, as well as burning and importing CDs.) For that one, see:

    My card is mobility radeon hd 5700, I'm running on x86_64 system. I'm using aticonfig generated xorg.conf. I will provide any other information if needed.
    I've tried:
    - to downgrade to catalyst 12.8 and xorg 1.12 (screen just freezes after trying to get to X, only poweroff button works (system catches the signal and shuts down softly - no errors in Xorg.0.log))
    - to use catalyst-total 13.1 / catalyst-generator 13.1 (Xorg.0.log says something about *not* compatible module - i can try it again and give you the whole log, it is probably another problem)
    - to use open-source drivers (poor performance, overheating)
    - to check nomodeset option (present at all kernel images in generated grub.cfg)
    Unfortunately, I could not find any similar issue solved in past few days...

    Downgrading kernel to 3.7.4 actually worked for catalyst 13.1. Anyone knows what could be wrong for linux 3.7.5?
    Edit: catalyst-test 13.2 beta works with linux 3.7.4.

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • CS3 Premier Pro Won't Start due to Komplete 5 .dll Loading...

    Hi,
    I'm running Komplete 5 by Native Instruments on a brand new Quad Core laptop that was built and tweaked by a pro audio company that specializes in configuring machines for musicians. The Win XP Professional system runs very well.
    After installing Adobe CS3 Suite, I noticed that the only program that won't start properly now is Premier Pro. When try to start Premier Pro 3.0, the splash screen opens and I can see the Komplete 5 software programs (Kontakt 3, Massive, Pro 53...) trying to load their .dll files. After a few seconds, Premier Pro quits and gives me a Runtime Error.
    I've searched around a little bit and can't even find the .dll's for Komplete 5 to try the suggested experiment of moving them away out of their folder and then to bring them back after (if) I get Premier Pro to start as I have indexing turned off on the drives (which I "think" is to keep the system speedy?) so searching manually has not been easy so far. I looked in the vst folder and they are not there, unless I am missing something.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Jerry,
    You likely have an issue with one, or more, of the NI .dll's. There have been several issues with these. Do a search of this forum (go back to get all Premiere versions) for "Native Instruments." There are serveral threads on moving the .dll's, so that Premiere doesn't try to load them. Premiere will attempt to load every registered VST/.dll, as you have found. NI's do cause PP to hang.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Offline Subordinate CA won't start due to revocation check failure

    Greetings!

    service start fails due to revocation check failure.  This makes sense to me since the 2 locations in the CDP are ldap & http respectively; both requiring network connectivity.
    What is the best practice for getting this to work?  Is there a way to locally "inject" the Roo CA's CRL, or am I missing something else?

    you need to install root CRL to a local certificate store:
