[Solved] Reboot Fails

I've tried this 3 times using the Beginners Guide, which appears to be straight forward. I run through the entire setup with no errors. When I reboot, I get this message:
Booting 'Arch Linux'
root (hd2,0)
Filesystem type ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid... ro
Error 15: File not found
Disk is brand new 350gb SATA. Am not getting any r/w errors.
Formatted last time using auto.
Noticed that fstab did not use uuid, not did I change it to uuid.
Since I can't boot the system, I don't know how to fix it other then starting all over.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
bobland

Turns out that grub was pointing to the wrong drive/partition/whatever. I changed (hd2,0) to (hd0,0) and Arch came up with no problem. Nasty kind of bug for the easily distracted (me).
Only other issue was using startx to test X. Under root, I got 3 screens and the clock. Under non-root-user I got the white screen. Initially, I didn't move my mouse far enough to cover the screen so I kept thinking the screen was frozen. Evenually, I had the "doh" moment and realized that everything was working.
I was very impressed that the installer found my exact card (GeForce 8400) and monitor (Samsum SyncMaster) and configured it all when xfce4 came up. Am now running Arch.
More questions will follow.
Great product!

1in5 Reboots Fail

Hi
My pc appears to be running fine apart from one very annoying issue whereby about 1in5 reboots fail. The pc hangs just after it closes the MSI Bios Logo. I switch me pc off and on and it'll load the OS no problem. It doesnt particulally affect my work as I only reboot everyother day anyway, but surely it is an indicator that something isn't quite right?
Memtest86 finds no problems.
Any ideas?

OK,
Then run the memories at 2.7v.
If the memorymodules are healty they can take that, even for long time run.
You can also test your ram with memtest86 to secure functionallity.
http://www.memtest86.com/
and run a torturetest with prime95 to see how it work under stress.

and don´t forget to test with another better PSU as well.
Sorry for the double post

Whenever I do a "pacman -Suy" and see kde stuff about to download, I abort and do:
1) pacman -Suw
2) init 1
3) pacman -Su
4) init 5

Reboot failed after smb upgrade(SOLVED)

Forced fsck ran during reboot and reports two files using same inode ...'usr/bin/smbget .../usr/bin/smbtree
What can be done to eliminate this problem?

Booted into Faunos Live system.
As root, ran Fsck on the HDD with inode problem. Answered yes to all system repair queries.
Rebooted into archlinux HDD with no problems.

[solved]Network fails to start sometimes

Hello!
I'm having a problem with my network. Sometimes it fails to start. Usually, a reboot solves this. Here is the error log:
[root@claudia log]# cat errors.log
Aug 6 03:16:28 claudia dhcpcd[3194]: dhcpStart: interface eth0 is not Ethernet or 802.2 Token Ring

# Declare each interface then list in INTERFACES

# - no hyphens in your interface names - Bash doesn't like it
# Note: to use DHCP, set your interface to be "dhcp" (eth0="dhcp")
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES

[root@claudia log]# cat /etc/hosts
# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#<ip> <hostname> <hostname>

What should I do to solve this?
Thanks and regards,
Gustavo

I'd say it's because since the ethernet over firewire module is loaded too, it's counted as a network device too - and which one gets to be eth0 depends if the NIC or ethernet over firewire module is loaded first. There are many solutions to this:
1) If you don't need ethernet over firewire, keep it from being loaded by putting the module name (eth1394 I think) in MOD_BLACKLIST in /etc/rc.conf, like this:
MOD_BLACKLIST=(eth1394)
2) You can make both eth0 and eth1 (and perhaps other NICs too) start up together (I do this with my 2 NICs). To do that, make the rc.conf network section something like this:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 eth1)
Then you should put a @ in front of "network" ( @network ) in the DAEMONS array unless you like waiting for a NIC that won't start

[Solved] "slim: failed to execute login command" after awesomewm updat

Hi,

Edit:
Besides a lot of other errors the problem was the systray. It was created 2 times, now login works again. I figured that out via enabling logging for awesome in the xinitrc again.

Hi,
I have the same kind of issue after updated slim from v1.3.4-4 to v1.3.5-1.

[solved]script fails when changing profile through powerdevil.

i use ondemand governor and i want to change up_threshold value.
Whenever i change profile through powerdevil up_threshold gets its default vaule of 80.
what i did was to create a script named threshold containing the lines:
#!/bin/bash
sudo sh -c 'echo 50 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/up_threshold'
i have also set through /etc/sudoers that this script is passwordless for my user.
if i run the script, it successfully changes the value. It also runs successfully if i put it in startup.
My problem is that it fails to run when i choose it to run when a profile loads through powerdevil. I am refering to the feature shown below :
at first i thought that this function has a problem. so i chose to run kate, and when i changed profile, kate started immediately. So i guess that there is a problem with my script.
Any ideas?

I hope someone reads this thread also its already marked as solved...
Anyway, i would like to use CPU frequency scaling, but in the powermanagement settings,
i cant shoose anything for frequency scaling.
What do i have to do to be able to set "ondemand" or "always lowest frequency"?
Wich daemons and/or modules do i have to activate to change the frequency policy?
Would be very nice if someone could help me.

My 16 GB iPhone 5 is stuck on a black screen. A white screen with the apple logo flashes occasionally. iTunes won't recognize the phone, and hard reboot failed. Can anyone help?

I just bought a gently used 16 GB iPhone 5. I set the phone up earlier today with no issues at all, installing backup data from my iPhone 4, syncing the new phone to my iCould, setting up my new SIM card, etc.
The phone was working fine (I was able to send and receive texts, use WiFi, manage apps, etc.) for the first hour or so. Then, without warning, it shut down. The screen is solid black, but every now and then it flashes white with the black apple logo.
I tried multiple hard reboots — all failed.
iTunes (on my MacBook Air, running Yosemite) is now unable to recognize the device, although it recognized it without issue earlier today.
I live overseas, so going to an Apple store is a bit inconvenient. If I can trouble shoot this at home (and in English), it would be really helpful.
Thank you in advance if you have any helpful tips or suggestions!
Best,

Gregseymour-
DO NOT STICK A PAPER CLIP IN THE HOLE!
There are two holes. One is a small one that has a microphone behind it. A paper clip would probably ruin the microphone. The other is a 1/8 inch hole where you plug in a headset. A paper clip might short-circuit something.
First connect the iPad to its wall charger for at least half an hour to be sure it has enough juice to get started.
Then if the iPad does not wake up when either the Home or Sleep button is pressed, press and hold the Sleep button for several seconds and see if the Apple logo appears. If it does, then your iPad has been turned off instead of merely being put to sleep.
Beyond that, look for an iPad repair center. The Apple Authorized Repair Centers may be more expensive. If you want to try them, look at <Apple Authorized Repair Centers>. There may be one in your city.

[SOLVED]system fails to boot since adding udev rules for automounting

Hello
I have recently been trying to use udev rules to automount, and putting together stuff from the wiki, forums and general googling around have produced the following set of rules:
# automounts usb hdd and pendrives as usbhd-sdx; no messing around with
# volume labels or other confusing stuff
# matches all sdx devices except the internal hdd, sda
KERNEL=="sd[b-z]", NAME="%k", SYMLINK+="usbhd-%k", GROUP="users", OPTIONS="last_rule"
# imports filesystem information
ACTION=="add", IMPORT{program}="/sbin/blkid -o udev -p %N"
# creates mount points and sets up symlinks
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", SYMLINK+="usbhd-%k", GROUP="users", NAME="%k"
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/mkdir -p /media/usbhd-%k"
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/ln -s /media/usbhd-%k /mnt/usbhd-%k"
# global mount options
ACTION=="add", ENV{mount_options}="relatime"
# filesystem-specific mount options (777/666 dir/file perms for ntfs/vfat)
ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="vfat|ntfs", ENV{mount_options}="$env{mount_options},gid=100,dmask=000,fmask=111,utf8"
# automount ntfs filesystem with ntfs-3g driver
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="ntfs", RUN+="/bin/mount -t ntfs-3g -o %E{mount_options} /dev/%k /media/usbhd-%k", OPTIONS="last_r$
# automount all other file systems
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}!="ntfs", RUN+="/bin/mount -t auto -o %E{mount_options} /dev/%k /media/usbhd-%k", OPTIONS="last_rule"
# unmounts and removes the mount points
ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/rm -f /mnt/usbhd-%k"
ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/umount -l /media/usbhd-%k"
ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/rmdir /media/usbhd-%k", OPTIONS="last_rule"
This seemed to be working very well unitl I tried to boot this morning and the boot process stopped at "processing UDev events" with the following message:
iTCO_wdt: Unexpected close, not stopping watchdog!
It pauses at this point for 10-15 seconds and then reboots.
Having searched a bit, I found the following similar post on the forums: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=459375
Which suggests that the problem might lie with this line:
ACTION=="add", IMPORT{program}="/sbin/blkid -o udev -p %N"
I have renamed the file so that it no longer has the udev .rules extension and now the system boots fine. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why the above rules might be causing this behaviour and how I might go about fixing it?
Thanks

Hey falconindy
That was the final kick up the logical a$$ that I needed to get some kind of grip on udev rules. I now have a fully functional rule that applies only to /dev/sdxy and not to everything else as well, so no more boot trauma, THANK YOU.
I will mark this thread as solved and post my new rule for the benefit of anyone who might read this.
New rule (no boot problems):
# automounts usb hdd and pendrives as label or as usbhd-sdxy if no label present
# ensures the following is _only_ run for sdxy devices excluding internal hdd, sda
KERNEL!="sd[b-z][0-9]", GOTO="personal_usb_automount_settings_end"
# imports filesystem information
# provides access to following variables:
# ID_FS_UUID; ID_FS_UUID_ENC; ID_FS_VERSION; ID_FS_TYPE; ID_FS_VERSION; ID_FS_LABEL
# accessible via ENV{variable}; $env{variable}|%E{variable}
IMPORT{program}="/sbin/blkid -o udev -p %N"
# Get a label if present, otherwise name usbhd-%k
ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}!="", ENV{dir_name}="%E{ID_FS_LABEL}"
ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}=="", ENV{dir_name}="usbhd-%k"
# creates mount points and sets up symlinks

[SOLVED] Bumblebee: Failed to initialize GPU with Lenovo ThinkPad W530

SOLVED: See post #20
After years, I decided to come back to the wonderful distro, Arch and back to the forums. Yay!
However, I installed Arch to my new laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad W530 and it uses NVIDIA Quadro K1000M alongside Intel graphics with Optimus technology. Arch is running fine, but I cannot run applications through optirun and I get:
[exitium@rambutan ~]$ optirun -vv nvidia-settings

As seen, it says "Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU". I have tried different solutions found from these forums and several other places but none of them have worked - the problem remains same. Does anyone have idea how I could fix this? I read somewhere else that there could be issues with newest nvidia drivers - is this possible?

SOLVED: makepkg fails at signing package

Hi all,
I'm trying to build a package from AUR but makepkg fails to sign the package.
I receive the following message: "==> WARNING: Failed to sign package file." and nothing else.
I have, as far as i can tell, installed all the necessary keys (pacman-key --recv-key and pacman-key --lsign). I even tried to completely reset the keyring (remove of /etc/pacman.d/gnupg, pacman-key --init, ...) but it does not solve my problem.
I can see the key when issuing pacman-key -l.
Any idea is welcome cause I'm completely loss right now and I fear becoming nuts...

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … g_Packages
That should explain everything you need to sign packages
To sign packages you need your own key, what comes with pacman is the developers' keys for the packages in the repos

[SOLVED] Initramfs fails to properly mount luks partition

Hello All,
As I foreshadowed in my intro, I'm having trouble getting encrypted Archlinux to work on my Acer Aspire 5750. I've previously had encrypted Debian Netinst and encrypted Aptosid working on this device. The arch iso I'm using is 2011.08.19-core-i686.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=124415 appears similar and Tallahassee offers a workaround, but it doesn't work for me (unless I'm doing something wrong?)
I suspect there is a bug in the init scripts used by the initramfs. I would like to first of all determine whether I really should file a bug report (and if so where), and secondly whether we can find a workaround to get things up and running in the meantime.
Now for the meaty bits.
Old grub doesn't appear to support lvm or luks, so I first of all prepare for grub 2 by installing the gptfdisk package into the iso environment. I use gdisk to set up a 1 or 2 mb bios boot partition at the start of /dev/sda, followed by a 256mb partition (/dev/sda2) for /boot, with the rest of the drive given to the partition intended for the encrypted root partition (/dev/sda3).
I use cfdisk to toggle the partition type for /dev/sda3 to 8e (Linux LVM).
Run the following commands, with credits to Aptosid: Installing to a Cryptroot:
pvcreate /dev/sda3
vgcreate vg /dev/sda3
lvcreate -n crypt --extents 100%FREE vg
cryptsetup --verify-passphrase -c aes-xts-plain:sha512 luksFormat /dev/mapper/vg-crypt
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/mapper/vg-crypt cryptroot
pvcreate /dev/mapper/cryptroot
vgcreate cryptvg /dev/mapper/cryptroot
lvcreate -n swap --size 2g cryptvg
lvcreate -n root --extents 25%FREE cryptvg
lvcreate -n home --extents 100%FREE cryptvg
/arch/setup
Go through the arch setup as normal. At the bit where you configure hard-drives, you'll find all your encrypted partitions ready waiting to be labelled and formatted. Stop after installing packages.
After installing packages, press CTL-ALT-F2 and log in. Edit /mnt/etc/rc.conf and /mnt/etc/mkinitcpio.conf. CTL-ALT-F1 and reinstall packages. Proceed with the configure step.
Don't install a boot loader; just quit after configuring everything.
Follow the steps here: Grub 2 During Archlinux Installation.
The automatically generated grub.cfg doesn't include things necessary to lvm and luks. Before running grub_bios-install, I edit the grub.cfg to insmod lvm and flag the kernel with cryptdevice=/dev/mapper/vg-crypt:cryptvg-root and rootfstype=ext4 (because that is the encrypted root's filesystem).
At this point, I would expect the system to be bootable, so reboot.
Grub2 loads up. I can verify the changes I made to grub.cfg by pressing `e'. So boot and see the messages,
Loading Linux linux ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
A password is required to access the cryptvg-root volume:
Enter passphrase for /dev/mapper/vg-crypt:
So far so good. I enter my passphrase. The following messages ensue:
vgscan: unrecognized option '--sysinit'
Error during parsing of command line.
device-mapper: create ioctl failed: Device or resource busy
mount: mounting /dev/mapper/cryptvg-root on /new_root failed: Device or resource busy
ERROR: Failed to mount he real root device.
Bailing out, you are on your own. Good luck.
So I get dumped into the ramfs. That ain't much fun.
Does anyone have some ideas on things to try next? Should I file a bug report?

Not sure what you mean by difficult and buggy to work with... at this low level, if a VM is having issues replicating this sort if thing, it's not a very useful VM. Find one that doesn't suck. I tend to use KVM because it's terminal friendly via emulation of a serial console.
Anyways, I can reproduce your issue and fix it. There's 2 things you'll need to change:
1) You're naming your unlocked cryptdevice the same thing as your root. That's creating a clash with the name you've given your root logical volume. Since the name isn't really important, just change your cryptdevice declare to "cryptdevice=/dev/mapper/vg-crypt:root"
2) Since you're doing the xzibit thing and nesting lvm inside of the crypt device (i still think its really bizzare to do this, but it looks like mkinitcpio supports it anyways), you'll need to add the lvm2 hook a second time to HOOKS in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf after the encrypt hook.

[SOLVED] Evince failed to open any PDF documents after upgrade

I have a x86 version Archlinux on a 32-bit intel platform. After recent upgrade, the Evince package was updated to 2.32.0-3, which fails to open any PDF documents. It gives a notification says "Unable to open document: File type PDF document (application/pdf) is not supported".
No other package was installed/removed. It just stop working after the upgrade.
Looking forward for any suggestions/solutions. Thanks in advance~~

Thank you so much.
The problem is solved as soon as I replaced the modified freetype2 from AUR with the official package. There seems to be something incompatible with the upgraded system.

[SOLVED] MPD: Failed to create socket

I've been attempting to get MPD working today and I'm rather stumped here. I got it to start out of its default directory, however, that denied it access to my music folder. So, I switched all of that to a ~/.mpd folder as the wiki page instructed me (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mu … _as_a_User), and for purposes of keeping organized.
Now, however, I'm getting this error whenever I run "mpd ~/.mpd/mpd.conf"
Failed to bind to '[::]:6600': Failed to create socket: Address family not supported by protocol
I remember that happening before, and it had to do with user permissions and so on. I think I set "user" to "mpd" that time. "User" is now set to my user, where the .mpd folder is located. Is there a way to allow mpd to continue?
EDIT: My mpd.conf is:
playlist_directory "~/.mpd/playlists"
db_file "~/.mpd/mpd.db"
log_file "~/.mpd/mpd.log"
pid_file "~/.mpd/mpd.pid"
state_file "~/.mpd/mpdstate"
user "spencer"
mixer_type "software"
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "Sound Card"
bind_to_address "any"

That worked, thanks. At first it gave "failed to open database" but in subsequent startups it's not doing that-- I suppose it created the file at the first time. audio_output's not defined, I suppose that's up to me to set it? It's autodetected at this point and seems to work fine. Should I leave it that way?
And out of curiosity, what was changed to fix my error?
First of all: thanks for testing. my setup creates 2 static hosts, instead of letting mpd autodetect it. sometimes ipv6 detection is prefered and this *can* lead to stuff not working properly.
Also i use absolute paths, to make sure everything works.
mpds audio output detection works decently, you can of course enable one in ~/.mpdconf to get rid of the warning.
Also you had one obvious error: you followed mpds wiki entry to start mpd as user. but you defined a user in mpd.conf. this will not work, since mpd can only drop previlegs to that user, when run as root.
Oh, please mark this thread as solved.

[SOLVED] Wireless fails after suspending (Realtek 8192se)

This problem is already solved on the first post: I spent so long trying to solve it that I thought people should know the solution.
I have a Lenovo X100e with a Realtek 8192SE wireless card. I'm running kernel 3.0. The machine has, since upgrading to the 3.0 kernel had the annoying problem of failing wireless connections after suspending: I'll have a running wireless connection, then suspend the machine, and then wake the machine up and the machine cannot connect to any wireless network (perhaps the same one I was connected to before, in the same place).
Things that did not work:
Installing the Realtek drivers from their website
Downgrading the kernel from 3.1 to 3.0
Using wicd instead of networkmanager
Walking around
Other distributions
The solution was to put an entry in /etc/pm/config.d/config:
SUSPEND_MODULES="rtl8192se rtlwifi mac80211 cfg80211"
Now the machine reconnects with no problems.
This may be the solution to the other big problem I was having with the 3.1 kernel: I would suspend the machine by any means and the screen goes black and the machine becomes non-responsive without actually suspending. I may try upgrading to the 3.1 kernel and adding radeon to the SUSPEND_MODULES list above.

Found out more which might be significant for madwifi users:
According to the wiki I loaded the following modules in rc.conf: ath-hal, ath9k, wlan
Beside this one line in the modprobe.conf should be added: alias ath0 ath_pci. This way wicd as well as networkmanager used ath0 for connecting to wireless.
After the update I noticed that there is another wifi device in ifconfig listed: wlan0. So I suspected that 2 devices pointing at the same hardware may cause the instability, but de-activating one by ifconfig didn't help. Now I noticed by loading the modules one by one that the new ath9k is already defining wlan0 and the wireless starts working without loading the module wlan. It looks stable so far, but if I should be right I'm impossibly the only one having this trouble.
Confirmation would be nice, but I will mark this thread "solved" now.
