This is a bit outside my experience - but did you follow the advice and cautions in the wiki for that driver:

  • Installing a PCMCIA-GPI​B card on an IBM A22m laptop with NT2000 and I get an "Unknown Hardware Error"

    I am trying to install the NI PCMCIA-GPIB card on an IBM A22m NT2000 laptop. The GPIB V1.7 driver installs properly and recognizes the interface but fails to locate instruments.
    The troubleshooter Wizard reports an unknown hardware error that may be due to a resource conflict or configuration error. I checked for hardware conflicts and found none and found no errors in the event viewer.
    The Laptop was originally installed with WIN98 and the PCMCIA card worked fine then. After installing NT2000 I uninstalled the GPIB driver and reinstalled it. The card also works properly on another laptop with Win95.

    Hi Dave,
    You should try using the lastest driver for the PCMCIA-GPIB interfaces. This is NI-488.2 2.1. You can find it in the Driver and Updates page.

  • Install Arch over Mint on laptop

    So I decided to dabble with Arch in Virtualbox and now I've decided that I want to install my .iso of Arch over my Mint partition. So I know there is a tutorial on the wiki on how to make my version into an .iso which shouldn't be an issue for me, but I just want to verify with you folks if I'll be doing this right on my laptop.
    I have 3 partitions right now on a 750GB HDD:
    500(ish)GB Windows 7 partition (sadly, it can't be shrunk anymore)
    15GB to a recovery partition for Windows
    then 100(ish)GB remaining for Linux Mint 16
    My thoughts are to back up any data I want to keep and should I just load up my .iso from a flash drive and install Arch like I would have in a VM? Would cfdisk show all my partitions and give me the chance to just erase my current Linux partition? Not sure how I should go about all of this...or would it be best just to redo the process from scratch? All I have installed really is the base Arch install, alsa, and XFCE.
    EDIT:
    Edited to avoid confusion on my 100GB Linux partition

    How are you expecting to have 2 Linux systems on one partition? I don't recall our wiki saying you could do anything like this :-) Create a new partition, format it and install arch in there.
    Okay I'll do that! I meant to say that I'll be reformatting my Linux Mint partition and putting Arch there instead I could have sworn I read something like that, or at least somewhere on the internet..but either way, I think I'll just do what you said! I think it'd be great to try installing Arch for the 4th time haha! Helps me memorize how to use the OS better!
    Since I'll be running Arch on the actual machine rather than a VM, will I eventually have to install drivers for my wireless NIC? I was thinking I'd install Arch on a wired connection so I didn't have to worry about my slow download speeds

  • [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.

  • Install Arch with dual graphics laptop

    Hey everybody,
    So a few months ago I bought a new laptop, and ASUS X750JN. After I have my new laptop on my hands the first thing was install Arch Linux, but I came across an problem with graphics, probably a bad configuration and because I needed the computer for the university, I keep Windows for a while. Now that I have some time, I want to return to my beloved Arch but I have a serious question, the computer has 2 graphics cards, on-board Intel and an Nvidia and my question is, how can I install Arch and use Nvidia for some games like ETS, CS:GO and Guns of Icarus? When I tried installing before, the VGA was the Intel and not the Nvidia.
    I know that Hybrid Graphics aren't full supported in Linux, but is there a way to use Arch with the Nvidia, even if only uses Nvidia.
    Thanks in advance,
    Have a nice Christmas and a Happy 2015,
    Hugo Rodrigues.

  • [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,

  • [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

    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.

  • [SOLVED] Install arch on a partition and still access files on other

    Basicaly what i want to achieve is to have a dual boot system on my laptop where i can access the files in some sort of shared storage or just to be able to access my windows files when im booted up in arch is there a way to achieve this?
    Last edited by icyfox101 (2013-05-25 13:00:19)

    Yes you can, you could have a partition for each OS, and then you could have a third partition for your shared files (I think it would have to be ntfs for the shared partition)
    Or you could just mount the windows partition from arch.

    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.

  • Just installed Arch again on my laptop, have some questions

    Hi there.
    After a few months of being linux-less, i decided to install it again (I corrupted my partition last time and have been too lazy to fix it =P). I'm also currently using KDEmod, which is great.
    However, I have some questions.
    1) It doesn't seem that the sound settings are being saved when I log out of KDE. It's always at 100%, and I always have to turn it down.
    2) I have this little cell-phone looking icon in the systray, and when i mouse over it it tell me:
    Network Management is changing!
    it is highly unstable and will crash your desktop. Until further notice, please use KDE 4 knetworkmanager instead
    Well, I looked an I've already got knetworkmanager installed:
    yaourt -Ss knetworkmanager
    kdemod-core/kdemod-networkmanagement-knetworkmanager-kde4 1030904-1 [installed] (kdemod kdemod-complete kdemod-networkmanagement kdemod-uninstall)
    KNetworkManager for KDE4
    kdemod-core/kdemod-networkmanagement-knetworkmanager-kde4-debug 1030904-1 (kdemod-debug kdemod-networkmanagement-debug kdemod-uninstall)
    KNetworkManager for KDE4 (Debugging Symbols)
    aur/knetworkmanager 0.2.2-4 (71)
    A NetworkManager front-end for kde3 and kde4, based in version 0.2.2 stable
    aur/knetworkmanager-unstable 737532-1 (Out of Date) (6)
    A NetworkManager front-end for KDE
    I remember when i had Arch before that I used ArchAssistant to manage my wired/wireless connections. Is that still around? Can anyone recommend anything else, cause I also remember getting ArchAssistant to work was a hell of a project.
    3) When I first logged in, the Akonadi Server Self-report popped up. I rememebr this from before, and could never get it to work (I really don't even know what Akonadi is, tbh). It says that the control and server process is not register to D-Bus. How can I fix this? Would I have to start and configure the MySQL daemon?
    Thanks for any help!

    For the first one, set the volume to your desired startup level, open a terminal window and run "sudo aslactl store"
    Then in your startup daemons add @alsa. That will restore your volume settings on boot, not sure about just logging in and out of KDE though. (I don't run KDE)

  • [SOLVED] Installing arch linux using dd from anrdoid phone's sd card

    Hello everybody, I'm totally new and totally excited about arch linux.
    I'm trying to create a bootable android phone for some hours now with no success.
    The reason I'm trying to do that, is because all my usb sticks are all over the place at friends houses.
    Since I'm not the patient type, I decided to do it with my Android Phone's SD card cause I noticed that I have the option to boot from it during startup.
    Now, what seems to be the problem is this:
    I did "dd bs=4M if=/path/to/archlinux.iso of=/dev/sdc" which seemed to do the job. When I rebooted tho, I didn't see my phone as a booting option.
    That was obviously due to unrecognized file system format. How can I dd and keep the filesystem type? I believe that it's ntfs or FAT.
    I also tried to install without overwriting the stick, which was a failure, it said it wouldn't find the .cfg files when i ran the commands in the wiki.
    Can somebody help me with this?
    Thanks in advance
    Last edited by deus_deceit (2013-02-10 02:13:12)

    Yes, my phone's card works without adding software as soon as I plug it in, the problem appears to be this: when i do "dd" on the SD card the filesystem type changes which causes my phone thinking that the SD card is empty since it doesn't recognize that format and not showing as a bootable device. As soon as I format it with my phone and reboot, it's there. So what I want to do is, create a bootable SD card that keeps the filesystem format that my phone recognizes. Is that possible?

    tg3 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
    tg3 0000:02:00.0: setting latency timer to 64
    tg3 mdio bus: probed
    tg3: Problem fetching invariants of chip, aborting.
    tg3 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A disabled
    broadcom had no output
    lsmod |grep tg3 had no output, so If I dont have tg3, how to get it?
    Solved:
    "modprobe tg3" //it helps me get eth0
    than
    "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.
