Arch 2007.8 installation - configure system

i cannot install archlinux 2006.6 because of this issue) so i am trying with arch 2007.08..
when i've set the mountpoints, selected packages, installed packages, i am going to configure system part and the installation shows me configuration files, which are completely empty!
what does it mean? when i want to set root password it gives me "unable run command 'passwd' no such file or directory" when i want to setup grub, i get "cannot find /mnt/boot/grub/stage1"
what should i do? i have read the wiki and it wasn't helpful in this case.. i though the installer generates those configs, or am i wrong?

iBertus: i see.. so it doesn't matter which version i would install, pacman -Syu will synchronize with currtent repositories and will upgrade everything from there, right?
i just started to read the main and the most important articles on arch wiki and i must say it's written really great. thank you for your hints.
but if someone would have an idea about those configuration files, during the installation, i would appreciate it, because i would like to understand it and find out where's the problem..
also, there should be something done (from deweloper's side) about that issue i wrote in my first post..

Configuration system failed to initialize

Getting error when I try to install an excel addin that I have published.
Error message is "Configuration system failed to initialize". The popup window has the title "visual studio tools for office solution installer"
To publish the addin I use the publish option on the build menu of VS2013.
Specify the location to publish this application: F:\publish where F: is a USB drive.
What is the default installation path on end user computers: From a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM
Then I take the USB drive to another PC, double click on setup.exe in the USB drive and get the "configuration system failed to initialize" error. I copy the entire publish directory to the C: drive of the target system and get the same error.
What am I doing wrong?
thanks,

Hi Steve,
>>Error message is "Configuration system failed to initialize". The popup window has the title "visual studio tools for office solution installer"
For this issue, I would recommend you try to uninstall/reinstall the VSTO runtime. The link below might be useful to you:

If the method above do not work, I will recommend you install the excel add-in in the developing machine with the USB to check whether it could work correctly. If it could not install correctly, I assume that there might be something wrong when you
publish, and could you share us the steps you published? If it works correctly, I assume that it caused by the environment of another pc, it would be helpful if you could share us the screen shoot about details error message.

"Configuration system failed to initialize" when trying to connect FM12 to Sharepoint

Adding a connection to Sharepoint using the FM12 CMS Connection Manager is failing with the error "Configuration system failed to initialize". I can access all the sites and libraries in Sharepoint perfectly from IE on the same PC, but no matter what I try in the FM12 Connection Manager I get the above mentioned error. The PC (which is actually a VM) is running Windows Server 2008 R2 (x64 with heaps of RAM and HDD free) with all updates applied. FM12 is installed as part of Technical Comms Suite 5 subscription.
Does anyone have any ideas what may be causing this (or what it even means) and how I can fix it?

Satellite L675 is locked in a loop of "configuring system"

I have a Satellite L675 pre-loaded with Windows7 64-bit, because it was very slow so I decided to recovere it to the factory default out-of-box.
But it has now been locked in a loop of "configuring system" with several reboots for more than an hour - does that make any sense?
Regards,

Hello
The recovery process takes a very long time and your notebook will restart several times during this process. A lot of drivers and tools will be installed so its not unusual.
In my opinion you should wait a little bit longer until recovery installation finished successfully. Just relax during this time with newspaper and coffee ;)

Pop-up 'Another instance is running. Configuration system failed to initialize.'

Hello - my system kept 'freezing' when a pop-up saying, ' Silverlight Plug-in has crashed' with options to repair or close. No matter what I did, t happened several times an hour, as well as the page and pointer freezing just as frequently. Often the only solution was to turn off the computer with the on/off button. Someone at work told me to delete the plug-in and I did and the problem stopped for a few days. Now, the plug-in has reappeared on the notebook, but less frequently, and the a/n pop-up comes on when I start the notebook. I suspect this action is related to what I unsuccessfully deleted. My screen and pointer are freezing less often. I appreciate opinions on how to correct this darned annoying problem.

SolMan 4.0 Install fails at Configure System Landscape Directory

Hi
We are installing Solution Manager 4.0 on AIX 5.2 and DB2 8.2.4. At step 56 (Configure System Landscape Directory phase) the install fails with the following error:

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Sam

Hi Sam,
Seems this is a typical problem with SAP J2EE /AddIn Installations (I had this often!!). The user is created in the J2EE user store but because his password is initial, the J2EE engine would not let him in. As I remember the installation tries to log on with user SLDDSUSER (or so, something with SLD...), so log on on to the J2EE Engine with this user (e.g http://<hostname>:<port>/useradmin) and you will be prompted to that your password is initial (also do this with user J2EE_ADMIN, always good idea to see that J2EE Engine works correctly). In most cases the configuration of the SLD will continue.
If this doesn't work, cancel the installation and configure the SLD manually (is no problem, because at that point of the installation procedure, the system is fully installed, except the SLD configuration).
Hopes this helps.
Regards
Daniel

HELP !! Installation stops immediatly after language choice - Windows Installer configuration window

Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to solve this probleme for 1 month now.
Problem :
I'm trying to install the 30 days trial Premiere Elements 9 on my system : Win XP SP3 - with Windows Installer 4.5 (enough RAM/Disk space etc...)
Each time, I double click on the " SET UP.EXE", the install stops just after the language choice window, finishing its process by showing a Windows Installer configuration window providing unuseful information like this (it is in French) :
"Windows ® Installer version 4.5.6001.22159
msiexec /Option <Paramètre requis> [Paramètre facultatif]

</uninstall | /x> <Produit.msi | Code produit>
Désinstalle le produit
[...ETC.............]"
The windows has a "OK" button : I click on it and then the installation stops here without any other message. Everytime.
I tried to resolve the problem by checking/modifying windows installer services process in Win XP, running Windows Clean up utilities, Ccleaner etc..
No way, still the same.
For information, Photoshop Elements 9 trial installation worked on my computer..
Please help if you can.

Portal30 Installation/configuration problems.

Subject: Portal30
Please share your solution in installing th Oracle Portal 3.0 (included in Oracle 9iAS installation.).
I am facing problem in its installation on WINDOWS 2000 server.
The first time I installed the Oracle 9iAS 1.0.2, the Portal30 and Portal30_sso were started . however while trying to configure the Porta-to-go I made some mistakes (What is to be given in the HTTP and HTTPS ports for the Web Integration developer preferences configuration and what is to be given in the settings of Web Integration Server at HTTP/HTTPS Port, User, etc.??).
Then I made mistake in uninstalling the 9iAS as I straightaway started the Universal Installer for deinstallation without first uninstalling the forms server, report server , etc, using oracle installer, then uninstalling the Portal30 7 Porta30_sso.
Any way I removed all the entries from the registry and also removed the directories from the disk.
When I started my installation for 9iAS database cache and Web cache configuration failed. But Portal 30 showed successfull . However there were some error messages dispalyed during the configuration of Portal30 as below:
loading org/w3c/dom/html/HTMLHeadingElement
Error while loading
org/w3c/dom/html/HTMLHeadingElement
ORA-29506 invalid query derived from using clause.
ORA-00942 table or view does not exist.
Error while accessing MD5 table.
When I did the other post installation configuration and tried to access the Portal30 home page error message as below was displayed :
call to WPG_SESSION failed.
error code 4068
Database login failed. TNS is unable to connect to destination. Invalid TNS address
supplied or destination is not listeneing.
The problem could be due to in correct TNS String or it may be due to Listener not started or due to underlying network.
I checked everything. Listener was started, TNS service name was correct (in the ORACLE_HOME of 9iAS \network\admin directory) and the underlying network was proper. DAD parameters were also correct.
However, when I checked the PWG_SESSION PACKAGE BODY status It was showing INVALID. When I checked the installation log..it showed error messages like table MD5 not found...
I am unable to configure my PORTAL30..Please help...or where can I get the solution...
Thanks with regards
Riant.

Clean installation of system 7.1 on Macintosh SE/30 ?

Could someone please advise how to do a clean installation of System 7.1 on my old Macintosh SE/30 ?
It used to run 6.0.5, I have done an upgrade to 7.1 , but I think I have somehow messed it up.
For instance , the Apple menu is empty.
It still boots fine, and I can read floppies.
I did google a bit, but didn't find any step-by-step instructions how to do the clean installation.
I've got the floppies Install 1 & 2, Tidbits, Printing, Fonts, Disk Tools.
Could some kind soul please advise?
(I've got Macbook's , but I am not really familiar with the vintage Macintoshes.)

Would it be correct to assume that you have the (more common) 1.44 MB System 7.1 floppies (HD diskettes)?
If you do not wish to keep anything of the existing hard disk contents (and if you have backup copies of systems and applications that you want to install), you could simply boot the computer from a Disk Tools floppy and then use Apple HD SC Setup to initialise (format/erase) an Apple hard drive. If the internal hard drive is not an original Apple drive, or if an Apple drive had been reformatted by another program, a modified/special startup floppy with a third-party formatting utility would be needed instead. Thereafter, start up from the System 7.1 Install 1 disk and carry out a fresh installation.
BTW, the floppy drive is first in the boot order, so a Macintosh SE/30 should start from a (bootable) diskette even if the hard disk contains a system. If there is a problem doing this, one can try holding down the four keys Command(Apple) + Option + Shift + Delete(Backspace).
Since old system floppies become unstable with time, it is a good idea to create a set of sector-copied backup disks. The typical application for this would be Disk Copy 4.2. This program was earlier available from Apple, but the older software downloads list is not there any more. A Disk Copy 6.3.3 page can still be found, though.

Computer shut down during "Toshiba configuring system"

I did see a similar thread, but I didn't want to hijack it and my questions are a little different.
So first of all, I reformatted the computer to "out of box" factory settings because I had a virus, the virus can't get into this hidden partition right? (it was antispyware soft if that matters)
2.I closed the lid of my computer while it was doing the toshiba configuring system thing, and I'm on it now and everything SEEMS fine, but did that driver or whatever actually get installed? Will something go wrong down the road? Should I just do another reformat?
Thanks!

Shutting the lid down might have caused interruption on the process for the recovery.
But for "Configuring system", it may take multiple restarts because according to what Ive searched, the computer restarts upon completion of a software and do the same thing over and over until everything is installed.

What is ESS
Employee Self-Service or ESS is a web-based solution designed to automate many of the repetitive tasks of the HR function
by allowing employees direct access to HR information and services. The basic idea of ESS is that employees are empowered to be responsible for their own personal information.
Benefits:-
One of the major reason for organizations implementing ESS is that it allows HR professionals to spend less time in administrative tasks like paper filing,
attendance monitoring etc and more time dealing with more complex and strategic HR issues.
The Gartner Group had estimated that 40 percent of traditional HR activities were handled by ESS in the year 2000 and this can only increase over time.

Re: Toshiba Configuring System

this is for windows vista:
let the Configuring System run a few times... who knows what its doing...
on the 5th or 6th time the computer reboots and config setup is running hit "windows key" to bring up start bar. right click on "scripts" icon running in the system tray and exit the running script
remove b1.exe from startup
reboot.
the only thing that remains is a "sys prep" utility. i could not find a way to stop this from running everytime the computer reboots, BUT, you can simply cancel the process and it goes away.
if anyone finds a way to remove this "sysprep" exe, please reply to this post.
thx

I have been using computers for 20 years now and had come to regard Toshiba laptops as very special machines. Now that I have one and am trying to use the 5 DVD recovery media, it feels like Toyota is completely absent from their obligations to their customer.Where is a Toshiba moderator? It's as if this company is being run like a kid runs a lawn mowing business - a very dumb kid. Toshiba needs to give me a reason why I should ever bother with this brand. It is the worst service and support that I have ever seen on the Internet.
