After copying Arch to new SSD, KDE permission problems.

Following instructions in this thread:https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=596228
1. Boot a Ubuntu livecd
2. mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/old
3. mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/new
4. cp -rav /mnt/old/* /mnt/new
5. umount /mnt/old
6. mount -o bind /dev /mnt/new/dev
7. mount -t proc none /mnt/new/proc
8. chroot /mnt/new /bin/bash
---1. grub-install /dev/sdb
---2. exit
9. Exit and reboot
And modifying /etc/fstab
My Archlinux boots fine but some problems occur:
1. 20s delay for no reason after KDM login.
2. No sleep option in leave menu or power management settings.
3. networkmanager is running fine but kde plasma widget for it shows networkmanager is not running and asks me to start it.
4. The battery monitor of KDE seems to lose access to power management and battery.
5. cannot change settings in kde systemsettings--login screen.
I guess it is caused by some file copying permission problems or symbolic link problems. So how can I figure it out?

that's why you should use rsync -a and not cp.

PS CS4 will not open after carbon copying drive to new SSD on MacPro

PS CS4 will not open after carbon copying drive to new SSD on MacPro. Pop-up windows inform me that the scratch disk is not available. I would appreciate any advice on how to rectify this problem.
Thanks
marco

Thanks avanishdivya.
I was hoping to avoid that route, but guess it's all I can do.
Thanks for your quick response.
Do you know if it is a Carbon Copy Cloner issue or just the way Adobe sets it up?
For future reference, where should the scratch disk reside? I heard it should not be on the boot drive?

Copy arch to new disk = screwy user permissons

I copied arch to a new disk today, using an ubuntu 10.04 live cd...
I've gotten my system up and running but it seems i'm having some user permission problems
startx wont start...
[ryan@psychicstate ~]$ startx
mktemp: failed to create file via template `/tmp/serverauth.XXXXXXXXXX': Permission denied
/usr/bin/startx: line 156: cannot create temp file for here-document: Permission denied
and sudo is broken
[ryan@psychicstate ~]$ sudo cp
sudo: must be setuid root
I should also note that I issued a #chown -R ryan /home/ryan/* thinking this would fix some things....
Help?

I typically go with a fresh install for this. A couple of tips:
1) Save important files in /etc like rc.conf, any xorg customizations, and anything else you may have tinkered with in there. I, personally, make routine saves to a seperate HD that I mount for backups.
2) Save all of the contents of /home/ryan to an external source and "copy" to the new /home/ryan after you have logged into the new system as ryan. Using copy this way will inherit the ownership of the current user who executes the copy command and avoid most (if not all) potential permissions/ownership issues.
3) You can copy the contents of /var/cache/pacman/pkg (assuming you haven't cleared this) to an external source as well and then copy to the new system. This will save you a bunch of time as the packages won't need to be downloaded when installing.

X120e - Automatic win7 startup under Administrator after system recovery to new SSD

Hello,
I recently bought my x120e with 64bit win7 home premium. I also bought an SSD (agility 2). After using recovery disks to 'restore' a 'factory install' to the new ssd, win7 works fine generally. Only problem is the win7 login and user account controls.
First of all, it is not a factory restore. there was no lenovo software on board to speak of. It did not act like a 1st time run of win7 either, where one is usually prompted to create a user account and password. I'm instead logged in as Administrator automatically with no password. To force the login/password at startup, I assigned a password to the administrator account, then created new accounts for my wife and I with administrator privileges and passwords. On restart, I get a message that the password is invalid. Win7 is still autologging in under Administrator, but now it stops because whatever it thinks the password is, is wrong because I changed it. If I say 'switch user' to use one of the newly created accounts, they are not visible at all on the logon screen. Just 'Administrator' and a blank user, no pic, no name.
So....: Firstly, how do I stop win7 from trying to log on automatically? (and why is it doing this?) Secondly, why are my new user accounts not visible at startup, but visible in user account settings within windows?
I'm using recovery media mailed to me by Lenovo today because the recovery partition that came with the machine was not working on arrival. Its nice in principal, but it if never works the way it should...
Thanks

Hi,
I recommend you to remove the HDD to check if you can startup Windows 7 from SSD.
If you cannot, please attempt to repair startup using Bootrec.exe command.

If you can startup correctly, please check boot sequence of disks from bios and make sure SSD is the first boot sequence.

How to fix Grub after moving arch to new drive [SOLVED]

I moved my Arch install (/ and /home partitions) to a new drive and I was wondering how to fix Grub so that it knows /boot is on the new drive. What I've done thus far is
create partitions on the new drive and dd my current / and /home partitions to them. The new partitions are bigger than the current ones, so I also re-sized the filesystems to fill the new partitions. My disk/partition setup is the following
/dev/sda1 2048 488392703 488390656 232.9G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT (Storage)
/dev/sdb1 * 2048 206847 204800 100M 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT (System reserved)
/dev/sdb2 206848 102402047 102195200 48.7G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT (Windows 7)
/dev/sdb3 * 102402048 141472127 39070080 18.6G 83 Linux (Current Arch /)
/dev/sdb4 141472128 250069679 108597552 51.8G 83 Linux (Current Arch /home)
/dev/sdc2 * 206848 105064447 104857600 50G 83 Linux (New Arch /)
/dev/sdc3 105064448 234441647 129377200 61.7G 83 Linux (New Arch /home)
After I resized the filesystems, I then created a new grub.cfg file (on /dev/sdb3) that is aware of the new Arch system. I can boot to both my current and new Arch installs and run them fine, but ultimately I want to remove the current Arch install so I can make more room for my Windows 7 install. What do I need to do to grub, so it knows to use the new Arch system.

@Xyne - Thanks! Installing grub on my /dev/sdc did the trick. Because I dd'ed my old setup to a new drive, /boot/grub was already populated, so all I had to do was install and configure grub on the new drive via the following.
grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --debug /dev/sdx
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
I used os-prober to find the other OS's (Windows 7 and my old Arch). After some testing, I will wipe my old Arch setup and then resize Windows into the free space.

Playlists missing after copying library to new computer

Copying Arch install to new SSD

My current Arch install is on an SSD, which is 2 1/2 years old. I'm about to purchase a faster (and larger) SSD to replace it, and reuse the old one in a home server. Is this the best strategy to move my install?
- Do a file level backup of everything to be safe
- dd the entire old SSD to the new SSD (dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb for example)
- Resize with gparted
Anything wrong with that? Are there any performance or stability reasons to use another method? I've been reading over the SSD wiki, and clearly there is a lot more information available on optimizing SSD performance now. I was going on random blog posts when I set up the current install in March 2010.

Setting up OSX after installing a new SSD and moving HDD to optical bay

Hey all,
I know there are a tonne of other posts similar to this one in here, but I couldn't find the specific answers I was looking for.
Soon I'm going to remove my optical bay and put my current HDD in it's place, and install a brand new SSD where the original HDD once was. I'm comfortable with the hardware installation but am wary about what to expect on first power up afterwards.
I would like to ideally run OSX Mavericks and all of my apps (everything from Notepad to Premiere Pro) from the SSD, and leave all of my data on the HDD. I have an early 2011 13" Macbook Pro, model number A1278.
- When I first turn the computer on after the hardware switcheroo, what can I expect to see? How do I re-install OSX Mavericks onto the new drive? Am I right in thinking that Mavericks is merely an upgrade rather than a whole new OSX and that I will need to install Lion and then upgrade to Mavericks rather than just reboot immediately to Mavericks?
- How can I then remove Mavericks from the original HDD?
- Exactly which files do I need to move to completely relocate the apps to the new drive? Is it as simple as moving the entire applications folder over, or are there hidden files dotted all over the place that I need to consider also?
Thanks in advance,
Adam

Adam,
if your current HDD is a SATA III (6.0 Gb/s maximum throughput) drive, then you might find that you’ll have problems with it in the Optibay position. If this is the case, you’d probably be better off putting your SATA III drive into an external enclosure, and purchasing a SATA II (3.0 Gb/s maximum) drive to install in the Optibay.
If you have a SATA-to-USB or SATA-to-FireWire adapter, you can connect your SSD externally and format it with Disk Utility. After that, you could use a cloning utility to copy the contents of your internal HDD to your SSD (presuming that the SSD is at least as large as the amount of space currently used on your internal HDD), and then boot from the external SSD using Startup Manager to make sure that everything works well on it; that will save you from having to make sure that all of the scattered hidden files have been migrated. Once you’ve confirmed that your apps run well from the SSD, you can then install the SSD and move the HDD to wherever it’s going. An advantage of keeping Mavericks on your HDD is that you can boot from it if needed, e.g. should your SSD develop a problem.

Wrong Drive Letter in Catalog after new SSD

Had a new SSD installed in windows 7 desktop. It is now the C drive and the old hard drive is F. All the photos are on C as is the catalog (per system information under Help) but the catalog shows the path for all photos to F drive. There are no photos on the F drive. I can open all the photos but cannot add new ones. New scanned photos go to C and elements automatically "finds" them but the new photos screen is just a "?" and Elements cannot bring them into the catalog. I have about 10,000 pictures. Any help wood be appreciated. Thanks

That's how the Organizer works. The drive is not only recognized by the letter, but also by the serial number of the drive. (The reason for that is that removable drives can change letter when plugged in depending on the other peripherals already plugged in). That's why one of the most repeated advice when changing drives or computers is to use the backup/restore method.
Use Backup, Restore to move catalog | Organizer | Elements 6 or later
What can you do now? I assume you don't have the full backup needed for that process.
You can 'reconnect' your files:
Photoshop Elements (PSE) knowledge base.
That's not easy and time consuming, generally.
Or you could copy your picture folders tree back to their original position on drive F (except the newly imported ones). That should reconnect everything.
Once reconnected, delete all those picture files on C.
You can either use the backup and restore method to recreate everything in your C: drive.
Or simply use the organizer to move those files back from F to C.
In the left folders panel, you can drag and drop your folder tree from F to C (be patient for that copy). The files moved from the Organizer won't be diconnected.

I have a MAC Pro from 2011 currently running MAC OS 10.9.5. This weekend I cloned the MAC HD drive to a new SSD drive for improved performance. The clone was completed successfully with no errors. After the clone completed I successfully restarted my system using the SSD as the boot device. I then successfully tested all of my products, including Photoshop CS6 and all of its plug-ins. I successfully tested the key features that I frequently use. Today while attempting to launch Photoshop CS6 a message is being displayed indicating that a scratch disk cannot be found. All drives are available on the system via the Finder and Disk Utility. I can access all drives including the old MAC HD which is no longer the boot device. I've even attempted to launch Photoshop from the old device yet the same error persist. Is there a way to review/edit/change Photoshop preferences if Photoshop doesn't launch? I've even restarted my system several times to see if that would resolve the issues. Does anyone have any recommendations for this issue? Have you previously address this issue?
Thank you Gregg Williams

Many thanks lllaass,
The Touch Copy third party software for PC's is the way to go it seems and although the demo is free, if you have over 100 songs then it costs £15 to buy the software which seems not a lot to pay for peace of mind. and restoring your iTunes library back to how it was.

Multi-Mapping Error after copying into new namespace

Hi everybody,
we got a BPM running using a multi-mapping.
We decided to design new namespaces. After copying every IR object (datatype, message-type, mappings etc.) --> SXMB_MONI shows a mapping-error.
But when I take the payload and test the mapping, everything is fine?
Any ideas?
Regards Mario

Hi,
If your payload has Messages tab remove that..and test the payload.
Payload doesn't have any Messages tab.
Just i have given example payload..this payload two strucures it will split into twofiles..and compare your payload should be like same

Permission to copy dvds to my SSD for faster installation

I would like permission to copy dvds to my SSD for faster installation.
I would also like to know if the standard multi-volume installer methods work with Master Collection CS5 installation where discs are organized into
DISK1\
DISK2\
DISK3\
what disc number for acrobat 9, if any?
can I copy the content disc (no installer)?
or do you use a different method? of course once it's on the SSD, it would be impossible to change discs as the installer currently requests using discs.

Do I have to activate AHCI mode on a Mountain Lion after a new SSD drive installation?

Hello All,
Do I have to activate AHCI mode on a Mountain Lion after a new SSD drive installation?
I have a new Corsair GT SSD sata 3 drive on my mack book, I have read on corsair web page that is good tho activate the AHCI and TRIM but I cant find information about how to do this on OS X.
Thank you all

That's information for non-Apple hardware. You can activate TRIM using third-party software: TRIM Enabler 2.2. However, most new SSDs should not need TRIM activated on the Mac.
