Beaglebone black, arch, and docker
Based on reading this issue tracker:
https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/636
I am under the impression that I should be able to install arch (I installed the latest this morning) on my beaglebone black and get docker working out of the box. I tried the following after installing docker with pacman:
[root@alarm tmp]# docker import http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM … est.tar.gz archbase

It doesn't work. Does anyone have any insight?
Even though you posted this in the 'other architectures' part of the forum, I would highly recommend you ask this on the Arch Linux ARM boards. The chances someone can help you with this specific problem will probably be much higher.

T400 Screen turns Black/Gray and System Freezes.
My screen turns black or gray and the system freezes.
The only way to fix it is to restart the system by opening all forms of power supply (adaptor and the battery).
Sometimes it works fine for a day or two, sometimes only for a few hours.
I think the problem has something do with my graphics drivers or some other driver from Lenovo.
I have used Lenovo Thinkvantage Toolbox to check for hardware errors and it shows that everything is working fine.
I have updated all drivers but still the problem is there.
I still have warrenty period left.
I bought my system 2 years ago and have never had any problem untill this one.
My system specifications are given below.
Model: Lenovo Thinkpad T400 2764 CTO
BIOS version (Latest?): 3.18 (latest)
OS loaded (ex. Win 7 64bit): Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Lenovo default OS: Microsoft Windows Vista Basic 32-bit
Updates from TVSU completed? Yes.
Updates from Windows Update? Yes.
Power Manager Version: 3.25
RAM installed (brand and 1 x 4gb, 1 x 2gb, 2 x 2gb?) 2 x 2 GB
Model of discrete card: ATI Mobility Radeon 3400
Any error notification? No
3rd party application installed for the graphic card? No.
Any particular application which is running on the time this issue arises? No.
Running on battery? AC? Docked on station? Error occurs in any state.
Any solutions?
Anyone had similar problems?
Thanks.My problem seems to be similar. Sometimes my screen also turns black unexpectedly and the notebook freezes completely! In some cases I see a bluescreen of death and in some very few cases it restarts automatically. If it does not restart automatically I have to hold down the power button for some seconds to turn the notebook completely off (so that the "power on led" left to the "battery led" is not illuminated any more). Thereafter it is possible to start the notebook again. So unlike user 400 I do not have to remove any connected power sources.
The issue seems to occur out of nowere and seems not to be related to the use of a specific software. My system is up to date with lenovo drivers and windows update, exept the BIOS, which I updated the system two times since the problem exists since more than half a year!!
I also give my system specifications below:
Model: Lenovo Thinkpad T400 2767 WC8
BIOS version: 3.16
OS: Windows 7 Professional x64
Updates from TVSU completed? Yes. (exept newest BIOS)
Updates from Windows Update? Yes.
Power Manager Version: 3.25
RAM installed 2 x 2 GB (bought and placed by loenovo reseller)
Model of discrete card and integrated card: ATI Mobility Radeon 3400 and intel mobility 4 chip
Any error notification? yes, entry for bsod or kernel-power-issue in the system protocol (but no specific error)
3rd party application installed for the graphic card? No.
Any particular application which is running on the time this issue arises? No.
I use my notebook with AC connected, with battery and most of the time in the advanced mini dock! Since a few days the error never happened when the notebook was docked! So I thought it is a power issue or has something to do with the graphics card.
But now I found out, that the issue might be related to the wlan card! This is because I never had a wireless lan connection when the notebook was docked, since I use a LAN cable. But a few days before I had to use the wlan while my notebook was docked and the error occured after some time. Furthermore, as far as I remember the issue never occured when the wireless lan was switched off and not docked, but I will check that again.
The issue also never occured when I booted windows in safe mode.
@400
Maybe you can check if it is the same for you with your wlan? Maybe together we can find out what the exact problem is. I want to find out what is the problem to get it fixed by lenovo. Until now they alwas said, that they had never experienced such an error.
Please keep on reporting.
Thanks for any help -
[Solved] Boot process hangs for installed Arch and installation usb
Hi. I've been using Arch Linux for around 6 months now and I'm in love with it. It is now my primary OS. However, I might have done something or performed some update, and I can no longer boot into Arch. The boot process hangs right before it should show the login screen (I'm using Gnome 3.6 with GDM). I see the following messages on the screen:
Loading Linux core repo kernel ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
/dev/sda3: recovering journal
/dev/sda3: clean, 330610/1749664 files, 5585671/6996827 blocks
And then it hangs right there. I have to hard-reboot after this.
I then tried to boot using the Arch Linux Installation USB (archlinux-2012.12.01-dual.img), which also hangs at a particular point, before it should show me the prompt. I took a picture of the screen where it hangs: Screen Capture. This is an issue with just my laptop, because the USB boots just fine on another laptop I tried.
I also have Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.10 installed on my system, and I'm able to boot into both of them.
I have 2 hard drives: /dev/sda is a 120GB SSD, and /dev/sdb is a 500GB hard disk. My partitions are as follows:
sda1 - Windows 7 100MB System Reserved Partition (boot flag enabled)
sda2 - Windows 7 OS
sda3 - ArchLinux (boot flag enabled)
sdb1 - Ubuntu 12.10 (boot flag enabled)
sdb2 - Just data
I ran bootinfoscript and below is the output:

I tried adding nomodeset and acpi=off to the boot parameters, but the boot process still hangs. Please let me know if I should provide any other information.
Last edited by dhavalparmar (2012-12-30 11:45:25)Ok.. So my Arch Linux randomly decided to work. I'm sure I didn't do anything between my last "not working" state and my current "working" state. Below are a few things I tried:
I thought of trying an earlier build of ArchLinux, and downloaded archlinux-2012.11.01-dual.iso and made a bootable USB out of it. It still hung.
I was getting error messages during Arch boot that the last access time for the disks was at a future date. I found out that Ubuntu was using localtime instead of UTC and screwing up my hardware clock. I fixed it, and thought maybe the time issues were causing the boot problem. But fixing time didn't solve my problem.
I chrooted into Arch from my Ubuntu install, ran 'sudo pacman -Syyu' and updated my Arch install.
I thought maybe GDM isn't starting up. I re-enabled the service using 'systemctl enable gdm.service'.
I removed OpenNTPd and installed NTPd. Enabled the daemon using 'systemctl enable ntpd'
None of the above solved the problem, and rebooting to Arch still hung the system. So I stopped fiddling with it yesterday. Today, as usual, I just tried logging into Arch.. And it just worked out of the blue. The solution to me is as mysterious as the problem.
I told this to my friend who introduced me to Arch, and this is what he said:
Damn it computers, you were supposed to be deterministic! -
Can somebody please help? My new iPad (3) has been blacking out and restarting every min...
Ok so before i went on a vacation, i switched off my iPad that's left with 24% battery.
2 days later, i switched it on and the screen just freezes. So i pressed the home and lock button together and reset it.
After this, for every min i used, the iPad just black out and restarted on its own.
It probably restarted for more than 100 times already and i can't restore it or whatever since its just keep disconnecting from my iTunes.
I shut it down, reset it, close all the apps, none help.
Does anybody know a solution to this?
Please help.

Arch And Windows 7 Dual Boot On Separate HDD
Hi everyone.
Firstly, a big thank you to everyone for helping me out in my first thread regarding choice of partitions and filesystems.
I went on to install Arch today on my second HDD (160GB). My first HDD has Windows 7 installed on it. (The BIOS shows that the HDD with Win 7 installed is HDD1.)
Arch showed the HDDs as sda and sdb. I was installing on sdb and created my partitions accordingly.
sdb1 --> root (15GB)
sdb2 --> swap (1GB)
sdb3 --> var (10GB)
sdb4 --> home (remaining space)
I had to flag sdb1 as Bootable.
Then I was asked about mountpoints and something about selecting by dev or uuid. I didn't quite understand but selected dev. Then formatted with ext4. Did not add any parameters.
Before proceeding they gave a warning about no /boot partition but I continued anyway.
It was an FTP install and went pretty smoothly. I configured everything exactly as I had read in the guides online and Wiki. GRUB said it configured successfully (I did not make any chnges to it). I had put GRUB on sdb and not on any partition.
As I rebooted, my system did not show the GRUB but went straight on to Windows 7. I went into BIOS and changed my first drive to the 160GB Seagate where I had installed Arch and rebooted. This time GRUB came up without any option to boot Windows 7. When I selected Arch it gave an error and did not boot.
So I'm back on Windows 7 and need help. I'm a noob and did not much understand the solution that I saw on another thread. Since I intend to have the 2 OSs on separate drives and dual boot, what should I do?
Will be very grateful for any help.

Hello all! I have a MacBook Pro 8,3 late 2011 model. It has an Intel HD Graphics 3000 (i915 driver) and a AMD Radeon HD 6750M (radeon driver). I have been successful in setting up a partition for Arch and booting via EFI, but I am hitting a wall with the graphics portion of the configuration. If I edit the boot entry (pressing e when Grub comes up) and add the nomodeset kernel parameter the screen stays responsive and I am able to log into the system. Without adding that parameter, the screen stops updating. I have read up on the mux that controls the two graphics chips and it sounds like the the Radeon takes over, but is not pointing to the screen.
I am not too concerned about the Radeon working at all. I primarily want to use the Intel chip and would only want to use the Radeon if could get something like vgaswitcheroo to work. I followed the documentation at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ma … 8,3_(2011) and added this to my 10_linux Grub entry
outb 0x728 1
outb 0x710 2
outb 0x740 2
outb 0x750 0
but I’m still not able to get the system to boot without manually adding the nomodeset kernel parameter each time.
Any suggestions?Anyone here with some insight?
Just to give a little more information on the graphics problem. I can boot fine with KMS enabled for i915 and I see all the tty boot information fine and can use the tty consoles fine, but when I startx with the intel driver it looks like it is going to start fine for a second and then tty7 is just blank/black. I can go back to other tty's and when I look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log there are no errors that I can see. From the log it appears that the driver loaded fine but tty7 is just blank/black. -
My iphone 4 has a black screen and gets warm when charging.
My iphone 4 has a black screen and gets warm when charging. also, the battery runs out unusually fast. I can still receive calls etc and can see a 'backlight' come on behind the black screen when buttons are pressed, but I can not see anything on the screen. I have tried restoring the phone from recovery mode in iTunes but this does not fix the problem. If it were the screen that needs replacing then would the phone get warm?
thanks for your helpLook in the dock and see if you can see any scaly blue-ish stuff. Look in the headphone jack under bright light - can you see anything pink?
Take it to an Apple store. They can help you with a repair. If you take it anywhere else, Apple will not repair your phone if anything goes wrong. -
I'm not sure when it began, but now my Macbook Air only shows a black background and a User Name and Password dialog box when I wake it from sleep. It used to show my desktop background blurred with my user name and icon displayed with only a text field for entering my password. I'm currently using Yosemite (OS X 10.10.1) and all updates have been done. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I know this isn't a real problem, just an annoyance since I couldn't find how to change it back in the System Preferences.
I just have to point out that after looking at a related post (https://discussions.apple.com/message/22661092#22661092), it brought to memory that my issue most certainly began happening after I added some DoD certificates to the keychain. This obviously has something to do with it, but it still leaves me wondering what actually causes this to happen. :/

Screen problems - black screen and lock-up (plus HDMI issues)
Hi, I'm not sure if these are related to the same fundamental issue, but they are both serious problems that need resolution.
I have a new mid-2012 MBPretina. I am on all the latest updates (10.8.2).
The first problem is the most recent, and the most serious problem. Since I updated the Java a couple of days ago I've been experiencing random black screens and lock-ups. Essentially, what happens is that sometimes when I perform an action (opening an app, clicking a link on a webpage, performing other kinds of in-app actions, etc.) the computer screen will go black. About half the time I can, through my own memory, try keyboard combinations to quit or force quit the most recently used app (the one where the action was just performed), and I will get some glimpse of the underlying apps, while the menubar and other areas will remain black until I move a window on top of the black space. Sometimes no key combinations work and I am forced to perform a hard restart with the power button. This is a serious issue, obviously, since I will lose current work/progress in my apps. I'm not sure if this is because of the new Java update, or has to do with something else, but it started happening shortly thereafter, over the last 2 days. I work most of my waking day on my laptop, and this "black screen of death" has happened about 5 or 6 times a day.
The second problem I have been experiencing since I starting using my MBPr with external HDMI displays in August/September. The problem is that I will plug the MBPr into an HDMI display, the screen will temporaliy go black, and then bring me to the login screen (as if it's crashing, albeit softly). This happens about 1 out of 4 times nowadays.
How can I fix these problems, especially the first?UPDATE:
Clearly there's a problem because a third of the way through a clean reinstallation from scratch it black screened again. Hmmmm.
Now this is not good. Problem is I can't rule out potential updates from Apple that might have caused this either.
The search for solutions continues. -
in my macbook pro sees in the screen very wide a vertical black bar and it does not let see what this underneath that bar
Take it in for service. Your screen probably needs to be replaced.

I have a 2008 black MacBook and acess UK tv through a puchased proxy. I want to purchase a Sony Bravia internet connected tv and stream the site through a tv - Sony tell me this won't work - that a latest model tv cannot capture content and sites from a MacBook - is this true???? Surely there is a solution? Any help or advice welcome.
They are correct. The only stream you can wireless connect the TV to a Mac is through an AppleTV, and that's purchased content on iTunes, and your own homemade content that is H.264 MPEG-4 that is 1800kbps. Conversion of commercial video to that format is illegal, and hence how can not be stated on the forum. Alternatively, as long as the TV is HDMI, you can wired connect it to your MacBook using the same advice here:

My ipod 5th gen ios 7.0.6 crashed and keeps going from the apple logo, going to a black screen, back to the apple logo, then back to the black screen and so on. Furthermore, my laptop doesn't recognise that the iPod is connected. What do I do?
Please help me out as this is very irritating. This has been happening for the last 20-30 minutes. It had roughly half battery left.Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

What's the best way to partition my disk with Vista, Arch, and data?
Hey everybody, I'm in a bit of a quandary here and I'd love a bit of help.
I have a 320 GB hdd on my new laptop. I want to dual boot Windows Vista and Arch, with a shared partition for data in between. I have Windows Vista installed with 110 GB of unallocated space. (Windows, being a piece of crap, has gone and locked some stupid system files at the end of its partition, completely preventing me from shrinking it any further.)
Vista has hogged two partitions for itself. One is C:, and I know what that's for; the other is D:, and I have no idea what lives on it. (In the off chance that anyone here knows, I'd actually like to find out what D: is doing there. It takes up 77 MB, 65 MB of which is empty, and is always "in use," and yet Vista's file manager says there's nothing in it.)
ANYWAY: Vista's taken up two partitions, and I need at least two for Arch: / and swap. Ideally, I'd like to have one for /home as well, but i don't know if that possible. I also really, really want to have a shared partition for music and documents and such for both OSes.
I thought at first I could stick all of Arch into an extended partition, but I read here that they can't be booted from. It doesn't make any sense to put my data partition into an extended partition, and Windows won't work either. What should my partition scheme be, since I apparently am going to need to put 5 primary partitions on one disk?
If you've gone this far, thanks for reading my wall of text. Any advice you can give would be deeply appreciated.
UPDATE: Okay, after doing a bit more research, I've read in a couple of places that Linux can be installed to a logical partition as long as I make sure GRUB (installed, I assume, on /dev/sda) points to it. Can anyone confirm this?
Last edited by wirenik (2008-11-29 07:27:46)wirenik,
You can't have 5 primary partitions. 4 max, or 3 primary partitions, and a bunch of logical partitions grouped inside an extended partition. Arch will gladly install into a logical partition. (Yes, it will boot just fine too )
If you currently have 2 partitions, you could create one more primary, then use the rest of the disk as an extended partition. You will then be able to create as many logical partitions as you want (well, a bunch anyway).
Something like this:
/dev/sda1 (primary, Windows C)
/dev/sda2 (primary, Windows D)
/dev/sda3 (primary, Arch root)
--- Extended partition ---
/dev/sda5 (logical, Arch /home)
/dev/sda6 (logical, swap)
/dev/sda7 (logical, shared data)
