"dhcpcd eth0" /to ask for an ip
problem solved, now I just need to find out why tg3 doesnt autoload or how to autoload it.

[SOLVED] Guest Arch in Virtual Box Internet Problems

I have installed Arch a few times already in virtual machines on Virtual Box and each time it is unable to configure the internet connection properly. Having gone through the beginner wiki-pages on starting with Arch, I have tried "ping -c 3 www.google.com" and get "ping: unknown host www.google.com". However, IP addresses usually work with 0% packet loss.
I then followed the "hwdetect" instruction and that yielded "-bash: hwdetect: command not found". The command "modprobe pcnet32" does not yield an error and returns nothing.
I have also tried other methods

Hi,
Pretty much the same here
That is strange but adding "nameserver 192.168.0.1" to /etc/resolv.conf enables me to access the internet. 192.168.0.1 is of course the IP of the host computer's vitual card but what is strange is: I need to use dhcpcd from guest to be given an IP that isn't even in the same range as 192.168.0.1 (for instance 10.0.2.15)!!
So to basically, host PC has that virtual ethernet card with static IP 192.168.0.1 and internet connection shared (don't know if this is compulsory though) and guest uses dhcp, is given 10.0.2.15 (don't ask me where it gets it from because I disabled it on VirtualBox). Then I just have to add "nameserver 192.168.0.1" to resolv.conf and I'm good... till dhcpcd rewrites the resolv.conf. How could we set dhcp to use a particular DNS?
As you can see, I am not a DNS expert. Using static IPs for both would be great but it doesn't work
Does it help?
The 10.x.x.x.x address range is assigned because you are most probably using NAT networking on the Virtual Box configuration.
Try with 'Bridged'.
If all goes well you shouldn't need to fiddle with /etc/resolv.conf.
Still, if you still need to change /etc/resolv.conf, put your changes in a file called /etc/resolv.conf.head which will survive
the changes that sometimes DHCP does on /etc/resolv.conf.

[Solved] Install Arch 64 on new hardware (Intel I7-860, P55, Nvidia 46

Hi,
I just installed new hardware in my computer and wanted to install Arch Linux 64Bit on it. I got through the installation as usual, no special configuration done here. Then I tryed to boot my computer into ArchLinux which fails as after GRUB I only see a black screen.
I tried many different screen resolutions so that's not the problem. I waited for at least 5min but the screen stays black.
This is my hardware setup:
- Asus P7P55D Pro (Intel P55 Extreme Chipset)
- Intel i7-860
- MSI N460 GTX Hawk
- 8GB DDR3 Ram
I honestly have no idea what could cause the problem. Something special regarding kernel version, os configuration that i missed? I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
aXyde

[Solved] Installing arch on a notebook /w a 2.6.33+ chipset

Hi,
quick question:
I'd like to install arch on a notebook with a chipset that is not supported until 2.6.33.
The installation images however look rather old, so I'm afraid i won't even get to the installation step where I can chose which kernel to install.
What's the best way to do this?
*fixed typo
Last edited by Zoranthus (2010-04-22 13:41:01)

If you're referring to the Arrandale Chipset then you probably won't have any trouble with the official installation image. I used it to install a Clarkdale system without any trouble at all. The system even ran fine with 2.6.32 kernel.
You should use ethernet to connect to the internet during the installation though since your laptop probably has a very new wifi card too. If you choose netinstall you'll get 2.6.33.2-1 or later and you'll be good to go.

Installing Arch but keeping another OS's grub menu

I installed Arch with the help of the beginners' guide on a 'spare' partition on my machine, which also have another 4 OSs installed. As I wanted one of the others' grub menu to be the 'active' one I skipped the grub installation part - in fear of messing up the grub menu, and hoping that the update-grub command (from within the 'active' OS) would pick Arch up.
This it didn't and I assume it is because I DIDN'T install grub in Arch (?) but could someone just tell me how I can safely do that but still keeping the other OS's grub as the main one.
At one point in the guide it says to install grub in /dev/sda; would I be safe if I installed it in /dev/sda10 (which is the Arch partition) instead?
Will I have to go through the whole installation process again? Or can I start Arch up (perhaps with the help of the CD?) and 'jump in' and carry on where I left off?

I dual boot Arch and Ubuntu. I did NOT install Grub from Arch Install. After installing Arch, I rebooted Ubuntu and updated GRUB. Then I changed the default OS to Arch from /etc/default/grub.
My rationale behind this was Ubuntu being a 6 monthly release compared to Rolling Arch, I had to install and reinstall ubuntu every 6 months and I didn't want any mishaps with Grub during this.
You probably forgot to update grub in the distro that is handling your Boots. If updating Grub does not show Arch then mount the Arch Partition and then update grub. [However the Grub version in Ubuntu 13.04 has fixed this and I don't have to mount Arch any more].
EDIT: By the way, not installing Grub means that Grub is not installed in the MBR. All the necessary files required to boot arch will be there in the Arch install.

[SOLVED] Install Arch Linux on USB Stick!

So, here is the deal. I want to install Arch Linux on a USB Stick so I can plug it at any computer and have my system... with me
I've had a little bit experience with Arch so I know a few things about it... used it for a few months before on a real system.
My USB stick is a HighSpeed 17-20 MBPS and it's 16 GB capacity.
So how do I do it?
Last edited by 1lj4z1 (2012-04-05 07:25:53)

I'm using occasionally Arch installed on HDD-USB, I've just added usb hook to mkinitcpio.conf and removed autodetect (more modules=more hardware supported). So far it worked on 3 different computers (all of them have one main HDD so no grub issues, but it's no biggie if it doesn't boot right away, you can always edit grub on-the-fly by pressing "e")
About USB stick: installing on USB stick is not the same as running it in LIVE mode! Consider yourself warned.
If you just install it you really should read about SSD optimizations because USB flash cells also have limited read/write cycles (actually is less robust and sophisticated than SSD). Something to look at: noatime mount option, disable swap if not necessary, profile-sync-daemon and so on...
1lj4z1 wrote:Well I don't need to chroot, i am running it live. I'll see about mkinitcpio.conf but I can't understand what you mean rebuilding initramfs? What is that exactcly?
It means if you fiddle with mkinitcpio you should run:
# mkinitcpio -p linux
afterwards or bad things will happen

[SOLVED] install arch VM with pacstrap

Dear all,
I am installing a Arch VM on my Arch host. The host is up-to-date, well configured (at least I think) in a vanilla manner (no suspicious hacks).
# pacstrap -i -c -d /dahlia base base-devel
is installing all packages but gives me this error many times:
/usr/bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
error: command failed to execute correctly
Googling this error returns lot of topics but I couldn't find a clear answer. I do not want to start with a semi-broken arch VM, so I want to solve this issue before going further.
Thank you

That's very curious. I'm just having this problem after installing the lowlatency kernel from this repo:
Server = http://arch.madfire.net/proaudio/i686
So I've just changed the initrd /boot/kernel26.img to /boot/kernel26rt.img and I'm getting exactly the same error. I've also tried changing sda with hda in the grub's menu.lst but nothing changed...

Moving back to Arch, but got a few things I'm kinda 'scared' about :(

It'll be probably a week as I wanna wait for my new monitor to arrive, but I'm thinking about moving back to Arch. I've used Arch before for a few months off and on, but I could never stay here, I don't know why but I just couldn't. Anyone have any advice on what I should give a shot at this time? I've only really used Openbox the last few times and I'm trying to stay away from KDE and Gnome. What should I give a try and what's the learning curve for it like? Also, if I were to add hard drives in at a later time, would they auto-recognize or would I have to mount them in /etc/fstab myself? If so, how would I find the name of it (/dev/sdb4, etc)?
Is Arch even for me though? I mainly do web dev, music, some games (which I think should work in wine), and graphics editing. Now, I've bought the Adobe suite so would that run perfectly normal in wine or should I dual boot for that? Or would a virtual box of Vista be enough for it? Yes, I know it's Vista, but it's what I've bought (I must of been high when I did it to). I'm not worried about RAM and CPU requirements for the Virtualbox, so would that be a better route than a dual boot. Because every time I try and dual-boot I end up screwing something up and have to re-format anyways, so what would you suggest?
When I am ready, I still need to find some applications that would be useful for me in Arch, etc. But how would this partition scheme work for something like this on a 750gb drive?
/boot - 100mb
/ - 20gb
/var - 200gb
/home - rest of drive
Also, any applications you could recommend I give a shot for the last and hopefully good experience here.

E17 is a nice bit of fun, or you could try a straight up Compiz desktop. Personally I use Openbox, but i have been thinking about making a second user to try out a Compiz desktop without all of the Gnome or KDE clutter.
I'll recommend a VM over duel boot if you have the memory and CPU horsepower to back it up. (if it's less than 2 years old you're probably pretty good) The VM allows more flexible switching between the systems, you can set it to a specific desktop so all you have to do is switch between them with a keystroke, and it will run everything for Windows flawlessly, unlike Wine. (Not knocking wine but it's not perfect yet.)
Welcome back!
For apps:
web dev: you could try bluefish. I am not sure how it compares to others, but I rather like it. (Only used it for a class for about two weeks)
Music: depends on your style to be honest. if you really wanted to, you could use VLC to play music. There are more music players in Linux than any other type of app. At least from what I have found so far.
Graphics editing: Well there is always GIMP. It has a sharp learning curve, but it is just as functional as Photoshop. I think there is a Gimpshop that makes it more like Photoshop. Icescape is another one, and again high learning curve. (That might just be because I am still not exactly sure what Icescape is supposed to be used for...) There are others, but they generally are not on the technical level of Photoshop/GIMP.
Games... Well there is a games repo that has a few nice things in it. If your games play in Wine, cool! If not, look for the VM that virtualizes the GPU so you get a little better gaming. If your really serious about the games, dual booting is the only way to go. (Hint for dual boots... install Windows first, then shrink it to to left side in Gparted, which is the beginning of the disk in English, before making partitions. Gparted does make it a little easier to do in my opinion.)
Edit: Ok... minimalistic as possible... hmm ... Awesome Ratpoison and perhaps Musica all seem to be the minimal types. dvtm with screen is another that just came to mind...

[SOLVED] Installing Arch x86_64 to HP Chromebook 14 Model 14-q013 4GB

Hello All,
I've had success installing a basic Arch system to my HP Chromebook 14 Model 14-q013sa 4GB, but only if selecting x686 instead of x86_64
The result is, (it's very early days, so please excuse any mistakes) Gnome reporting only 2GB RAM
free -m lists 2010 Total also.
I have tried pressing TAB on the x86_64 install and adding mem=4G or mem=4GB but it simply re-boots.
Any ideas at all for installing the 64bit version of Arch please?
Many thanks everyone.

It seems that chromebook has an Intel® Celeron® 2955U processor (http://store.hp.com/UKStore/Merch/Produ … U&sel=PCNB)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celeron_2 … C_22_nm.29
Looks like it should be a 64-bit processor.

Installing Arch on PC without Internet Connection/Slow Connection

Arch Linux requires a fairly good internet connection to set up. How can one install it on machines which don't have any internet connectivity? Is there any way to make a DVD of Arch on a computer connected to internet and having Arch setup(DE,Media Players,Codecs etc) which can then be used on machines without internet connections This would come useful for me to install at my friends place. Does anyone even has a remote solution on this?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lo … ory_HOW-TO
and, of course:

You could also install on a computer with a connection, then use something like Clonezilla to deploy it.

I understand that. but both UUIDs and devices (/dev/sdX) are there in fstab if I am correct. I will check that in evening. if so did i make a mistake in generating fstab.
I have generated fstab with
genfstab -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab (does this happens if i forget -p).
as I have done this multiple times, I might have done some thing wrong. I will edit that file manually and removed /dev/sdx entries from that
Honestly, you are not very good at sharing what is actually in your configs. So as Trilby said above, no one really knows what is in your fstab, since you have not actually shared that with this thread.
As far as I can tell, when I run "genfstab -p /" on my running machine, letting the output just be dumped to stdout, it doesn't give me UUIDs anywhere. And from your statement it seems you haven't even actually checked.
What I have done in the past is used labels. For example if you are using ext2, ext3, or ext4, you could assign a label using "e2label". So lets say you label your rootfs (/) "usb_root". Now instead of using the unreliable /dev/sdXY format, you can use LABEL=usb_root in your fstab, and in the bootloader you can use root=LABEL=usb_root (or root=/dev/disk/by-label/usb_root).
I would also like to mention that this quote sucks:
Archhotep wrote:No. UUIDs are there in the boot loader (I think) and grub was working fine and why the system is trying to boot at first place.
There are a number of people who are patiently trying to walk you through this issue (with quite a bit more hand holding that usually takes place around here), and you don't have the decency/appreciation to even take the time to confirm what you are actually using in the configs that everyone is telling you to check and/or change.
Sir,
I was a standard linux (i mean ubuntu etc) user until sometime back. I don't know exactly what should be there in /etc/fstab. I also do not know what information you might need to help me. If any one asked me the details about /etc/fstab etc might have provided. I have given what info what I felt was appropriate and enough. I do not have that machine with me when I was posting lat post, otherwise I might have posted. that laptop is at home. I already said thanks in my third post immediately after I solve the problem.
Sorry if I am wrong, and thatnk you once again for letting me about labels.
If I still have a question about /etc/fstab, i will post my fstab.
I don't know where to look to know that my boot loader is using uuid or dev. It would be great help.

Trying to install arch but have a problem please help!

So I'm trying to install archlinux on my laptop but when I boot of of my flash drive it says
syslinux 4.07 EDD 2013-07-25 Copyright (C) 1994-2013 H. Peter Anvin et al
Unknown keyword in configuration file: PATH
boot/syslinux/whichsys.c32: not a COM32R image
boot:
Can someone PLEASE tell me what I'm doing wrong?

You're not telling us how you created that bootable flash drive. You're also not using a reasonable title for your thread. Please revise the title to give an indication on what the problem actually is.

[Solved]Installed arch but got no internet
