[disregard...solved]KDE4.2 not working.

Ok, so I installed kde 4.2 (pacman -S kde, pacman -S kde-extragear) to try it out. I changed my .xinitrc to do "exec startkde"
When I do startx it slowly puts a few icons in the center of the screen, and whenever i click, the whole screen dims to black and there is just a mouse? wth? I also tried with kdm. Kdm works, but as soon as i log in i get the same thing as startx.
I'm using Arch x86_64....no clue why this isn't working.
EDIT: now it's working....i updated the nvidia driver...it hadn't quite been working right for some time and manually updating it solved a few other things and kde works now too...mods feel free to delete

maybe take a look alt hal policy, here in wiki, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL#Policies , i had same troubles, if you klick on the device in the device list on the left than there is an error messages quoted at the bottom of the window, just look for that error in the wiki

Contact your mail provider and get the CORRECT settings for the outgoing server to set up on your phone.

Solved rEFInd does not work after update

Hello.
Today, I updated rEFInd with yaourt.
After the update, I copied the new files in /boot/efi.
I rebooted and now rEFInd does not work.
The only message I got is:
rEFInd - Initializing
After 2-3 minutes, the computer reboots and I got the same error message.
To boot, I had to use the UEFI shell.
First of all, is there a log file for rEFInd?
It is not easy at all to debug it when we don't have any error messages.
After that, I did the procedure to install rEFInd in /boot/efi twice without any success.
Do you know what to do to solve my problem?
Thanks for your help.

@antoyo: The old one is compiled using gnu-efi-libs, the new one is compiled using Tianocore UDK2010.
Full package: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9710721/refind- … pkg.tar.xz
Src package: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9710721/refind- … src.tar.gz (will compile only in x86_64 system)

[SOLVED] luks-passphrase not working after update

SOLVED: Hard drive was damaged. new hard drive ''fixed'' issue
Hello,
i updated my arch on 2015-06-05. After restarting my cryptsetup does not accept my password anymore.
No key available with this passphrase.
Searching the forum i found a couple of simular topics, nevertheless none of them offered a solution to the problem:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=169408
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=175737
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=148562
So the solutions that did not work so far:
1. Downgrading cryptsetup package
2. Downgrading kbd package
3. Checked that my keyboard works just fine (both in grub and in live system)
4. Manualy loading the aes modules in live system to ensure correct decryption (found that issue somewhere...)
Unfortunatly i did not backup the luks header file.
So i don't know if there is some other way to check if the header is broken or how to find out why it will not decrypt my disk.
I am happy for any solutions or ideas

losetup --read-only /dev/loop7 /dev/sda2
dmsetup create foobar --table '0 2048 crypt aes-xts-plain64 4ec1a210c7c44208ca132559cda338d7651471abd47b619b1d3a15d273ab69875cdd2bcb7c2750f6cab9e6b2e19f487fb4766bb7826819c8b2de898fe3c0b999 0 7:7 4096'
file -s -L /dev/mapper/foobar
hexdump -C /dev/mapper/foobar
Gives me the master key for the decrypted partition (denoted as forum_key_kex).
Do i need to convert this to binary or something to use it...?
Assume Filesystem/dev_sda2 is the partition to decrypt.
So to decrypt the partition directly with master key i have to do one of the following, wasn't sure which hash to take...:
echo "0 `blockdev --getsz Filesystem/dev_sda2` crypt aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 `echo SomeEncrypt | sha256sum | head -c 64` 0 Filesystem/dev_sda2 4096" | dmsetup create luks_volume
echo "0 `blockdev --getsz Filesystem/dev_sda2` crypt aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 `sha256sum forum_key_hex | head -c 64` 0 Filesystem/dev_sda2 4096" | dmsetup create luks_volume
as i found on:
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions … master-key
(approved by you in the comment as it seems)
But both give me an error:
device-mapper: resume ioctl on luks_volume failed: Invalid argument
Command failed
Did i even do this right?
Also when i copied the partition to an external device dd_rescue observed 6 errors in blocks. So those might just be the cause of failure all the time.

[SOLVED] Sound (snd_hda_intel) not working after resume from suspend

Using the latest kernel 2.6.30.4, On HP2133, whenever I get back from resume, sound is not working.
Running the following brings back the sound, but that is obviously a hack:
fuser -k /dev/snd/*
rmmod snd_hda_intel
modprobe snd_hda_intel
/etc/rc.d/alsa start
I have on my /etc/modprobe/50-sound.conf:
options snd-hda-intel model=laptop
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
Here's the exact hardware specification:
# lspci -nnv|grep Audio
80:01.0 Audio device [0403]: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] (VIA High Definition Audio Controller) [1106:3288] (rev 10)
Any idea where to look for this?

[SOLVED]
I downgraded to kernel 2.6.29 and the problem is gone.
Note: I also had X VT problems with 2.6.30.4 (xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call). Those were solved too by downgrading to 2.6.29.

just remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf

When you copy 10-evdev.conf file into /etc/X11 you completly override previous system configuration. It's the reason copying synaptics configuration file into /etc/X11 fixes the issue
Defining default system configuration in /etc/X11 with previous xorg was a mistake, now it's fixed.
Wiki should be fixed. It's not a packaging bug, but a configuration bug.
@lordheavy
I agree with you that the new xf86-input-synaptics package is using the right configuration scheme, however it is breaking the functionality on every installed system. It was a packaging bug, which is now fixed, but it has to be handled manually by most users of previous versions. That's why I won't re-open the bug report FS#41589. Instead, I am asking here: shouldn't this change be notified to the users just like it has been done for most breaking changes on archlinux frontpage news?
By the way, thanks for your great work.

Solved - Helix pen not working

I think this might be helpful to those who suffer she same problem: My OS is Windows 8.1. One day the pen just stoped working. Seems that there was no problem with hardware and driver - nothing wrong but the pen. Then another day my Norton, which was pre-installed on my Helix, expired and I decided to unistall it. Surprisingly after uninstallation the pen started to work!

Tried it in the BIOS, looks like it's a hardware problem. Lenovo service was surprisingly quick and direct on the phone. They provided me the option of sending it in (with a 7 day turnaround), or taking it to a local warranty service center (on Long Island). I'll check out the local center first tomorrow.

Try booting into BIOS and seeing if the pen works there (although the BIOS is text based it will respond to touch and pen inputs, e.g. you can select the various menus screens by touching the text with the pen).
If the pen does work in BIOS, then the problem is probably software\driver related and reinstalling\refreshing Windows should solve the problem.
If the pen does not work in BIOS, then the problem is probably hardware related and you will need to contact Lenovo support to arrange a repair\repacement.

[SOLVED] DVB-T Not working with 2.6.30

Hey, I just upgraded to 2.6.30 and my DVB-T card (TerraTec Piranha) which uses the siano driver doesn't work anymore.
It worked fine before the upgrade but doesn't register any DVB-T device since the reboot after the upgrade (Atleast kaffeine doesn't show the DVB-T button and dmesg doesn't list that a new device was registered).
After starting my computer:
[fox@PC103 ~]$ dmesg | grep sms

The file "dvbt_bda_stellar_usb.inp" exists in "/lib/firmware/" and seems to be used fine
Unluckily enough I don't know what the log looked like before the upgrade.
Whats wrong? How do I get DVB-T working again?
//Edit:
[fox@PC103 ~]$ sudo modprobe smsdvb
did the trick!
- Shouldn't this be done by default?!
PS / Not related to topic: While I'm at it, how could I fix this: "WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/framebuffer_blacklist.pacsave, it will be ignored in a future release." - I get it about twenty times at startup since some time.
//Edit:
Fixed by removing the file and using framebuffer_blacklist.conf instead

Hiya, I was having the identical problem with an Acer AspireOne D250 netbook using the atl1c kernel mod. The Arch Wiki entry for my netbook specifically has a workaround posted, though I believe it's applicable here:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ace … e_D250_LAN
With Archlinux 2009.08 the installation did not work from the beginning on an Aspire One D250. The LAN was not working properly. This could be traced down to the Kernel 2.6.30 which had broken network drivers. To get the LAN working, use the Archlinux core install. After installing Archlinux, get the Kernel 2.6.31 and the Kernel Headers on a USB stick and install it via "pacman -U". After rebooting, the LAN should work properly.
Hope this helps!

[SOLVED]find command not working correctly new version of findutils...

After upgrading my findutils from 4.2.33-1 to 4.4.0-1, it is not working the way it used to. I downgraded to the old one and it is working fine again. However, I am wondering why the newer version can't do what I want it to...
Typically I run the following script to apply mp3gain to my music collection (albums and individual songs):
#!/bin/bash
echo Albums...
find . -mindepth 3 -iname '*.mp3' -execdir mp3gain -k -a {} +
echo Single tracks...
find . -maxdepth 2 -iname '*.mp3' -exec mp3gain -k -r {} +
On the old version, for the albums, the "find" function works as expected by examining the entire album before applying gain. With the new findutils version, the albums are being analysed song-by-song. I suppose since the new version of findutils, there is just a different method to do what I wanted before with -execdir. Does anyone know how to do it on the new version?
Last edited by tony5429 (2008-07-19 06:29:41)

Cool. Thanks for the suggestion. I ended up going with...
#!/bin/bash
echo Albums...
for album in */*
do
cd "$album" > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? = 0 ]
then
mp3gain -k -a *.mp3
cd ..
cd ..
fi
done
echo Single tracks...
find . -maxdepth 2 -iname '*.mp3' -exec mp3gain -k -r {} +
exit 0

[SOLVED] Rosgarden package not working

Hi everybody,
it's my first post here, so I hope I get all things done.
I installed the new version of Rosegarden (10.02; i686 architecture) for the first time yesterday evening. I wanted to check out its features.
Rosegarden's package information:
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra … osegarden/
I usually start programs via the Bash. But when starting Rosegarden this error occurs:
[user@asterix ~]$ rosegarden
rosegarden: symbol lookup error: rosegarden: undefined symbol: _ZN9QListData7detach3Ev
It seems that there's something (a package?!?) missing.
I installed Rosegarden with Pacman:
[2010-02-15 19:37] synchronizing package lists
[2010-02-15 19:41] installed liblrdf (0.4.0-6)
[2010-02-15 19:41] installed liblo (0.26-1)
[2010-02-15 19:41] installed dssi (1.0.0-3)
[2010-02-15 19:41] installed rosegarden (10.02-1)
According to Rosegarden's package information the following packages are required (the missing one were installed by Pacman itself; in brackets the installed version):
- fftw (3.2.2-1)
- qt (4.5.3-4)
- liblrdf (0.4.0-6)
- dssi (1.0.0-3)
- ladspa (1.13-2)
- liblo (0.26-1)
- lirc-utils (0.8.6-3)
- shared-mime-info (0.71-1)
I've searched for previous errors:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=82791
There's no relation to my problem.
It would be great if someone has a clue what to do. I hope all necessary information were mentioned.
Thanks.

Hi,
sorry for my late reply, but I was busy the all day long.
Thank you 'drcouzelis' for the tip to build Rosegarden on my own (with ABS).
The building process took a while on my old AMD Athlon XP 1900+ but it works now.
Unfortunately I don't know what went wrong before. It's the first package (within Pacman) which does not work since I've been using Arch Linux (about three years now).
Arch Linux is a great distribution with a great and helpful community.
Thanks for support.

[SOLVED] Flashplugin Does Not Work With Firefox.

Hi, all.
Happy to have just installed Arch, after not using it for a while. It's looking as good as ever, but I can't get Flash to work.
I installed Gnash and some things work, but not many. Wanting to be able to use a full Flash implementation, I installed the Flashplugin on my 32-bit box.
When I go to the Adobe test page, I don't see any Flash. When I go to YouTube and similar, I just get a black 'box'. When I visit websites with Flash effects, these do not work and I am told I need a plugin.
When I look at Firefox's 'about:plugins' page, Flash is associated with swf files, so that looks ok.
Can anyone help me with this? If I can get it sorted, my main box may well be having an Arch install, today.
Fingers crossed.
Cheers,
Chris.

From the Arch wiki:
"Troubleshooting
If you have Abobe Flash installed on an older system and you start playing a video which simply turns black with nothing happeing, it is most likely that your CPU does not support ISSE2. You can simply check out this by looking at your CPU flags with this command:
# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep flags
If sse2 is not mentioned there, then you need to install an older version of Flash (for example 10.3). "
I only have SSE, not ISSE2, so I think that may be why. I have partial success with Gnash, so will stick with that for now. At least it's open source.
Thanks for your help, all.
Chris.

[SOLVED] netctl-auto not working, and I cannot remove netctl instance

Hi, I installed Arch a few days ago, netctl-auto was working yesterday but today it's not.
Note that
netctl start
works: I have a problem with netctl-auto only.
$ ping -c 3 8.8.8.8
connect: Network in unreachable
I have created only one netctl profile so far, it's called wlp4s0-VM581389-2G (wlp4s0 is the name of my wireless interface)
$ ls /etc/netctl
examples hooks interfaces wlp4s0-VM581389-2G
$ netctl list
wlp4s0-VM581389-2G
wpa_actiond is installed, and I have done
systemctl enable [email protected]
But for some reason I have some extra netctl@ instances that shouldn't be there. I am wondering if they could be the cause of netctl-auto not working properly:
$ systemctl | grep netctl
[email protected] loaded active running Automatic wireless network connection using netctl profiles
● netctl@my\x2dnetwork.service loaded failed failed Networking for netctl profile my-network
● netctl@wlp4s0\x2dVM581389\x2d2G.service loaded failed failed Networking for netctl profile wlp4s0-VM581389-2G
system-netctl.slice loaded active active system-netctl.slice
system-netctl\x2dauto.slice loaded active active system-netctl\x2dauto.slice
- What are these bullet points at the beginning of these two lines?
- Where do netctl@my\x2dnetwork.service and netctl@wlp4s0\x2dVM581389\x2d2G.service come from? They might be instances that I had enabled in the past.
These instances are not enabled and they are inactive, but they are loaded!
$ systemctl is-enabled netctl@my\x2dnetwork.service

I have tried to get rid of them, but not managed:

$ systemctl disable netctl@my\x2dnetwork.service
$ systemctl | grep netctl

system-netctl\x2dauto.slice loaded active active system-netctl\x2dauto.slice
Also, I have tried to check with
netctl-auto list
, which gives an empty output. I am guessing that it's normal, because the netctl-auto instances are managed by systemd?
Now, trying to understand what is happening to [email protected]: as seen before with systemctl | grep netctl, it is active and running.
Then I do:
$ journalctl -u [email protected]
-- Reboot --

So, a wpa_actiond session was started, but I still cannot ping 8.8.8.8. Why?

What does this mean? Which file might have been left by an unclean termination? I tried to find this info in the wpa_supplicant documentation, and by searching on Google, but couldn't find anything.
Now I am lost:
- how do I get rid of these two undesired netctl instances?
- where can I investigate next, to get netctl-auto@wlp4s0 to work?
Any help greatly appreciated :-)

What is the output of:
ls -l /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants
netctl-auto cannot be used with explicitly enabled profiles (ie, those for which you have used `netctl enable <profile>`).

[SOLVED] gnome-mplayer not working

When I start gnome-mplayer with verbose debugging enabled, I get the following error:
ERROR: Unknown option on the command line: -ass
Once I encountered this error, I tried installing libass which did not work. I then disabled ASS from the subtitles menu. Once I did that, I then got the following error:
ERROR: Unknown option on the command line: -subfont-text-scale
I believe this error is also related to the subtitle tab (but there is nothing else that I can disable).
I am using the following versions of mplayer and gnomemplayer:
gnome-mplayer (out of community) version=0.9.3
mplayer (out of extra) version=dev-SVN-rUNKNOWN-4.3.2
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I rebuilt with ABS, and tried the bzr version from AUR, but no luck.
Any other ideas or is this just broken?
Thanks

Well, I seem to have fixed this, though not sure how.
Apparently some kind of dependancy problem.
I was updating (Syu) etc and got this output:
missing dependency for gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins : gstreamer0.10-bad=0.10.17
missing dependency for gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins : libdca>=0.0.5
missing dependency for gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins : libdc1394>=2.1.0
missing dependency for gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins : libcdaudio>=0.99.12
missing dependency for gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins : mjpegtools>=1.9.0
missing dependency for gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins : liblrdf>=0.4.0
missing dependency for gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins : libvdpau>=0.3
I installed these, removed x264-git, and pacman -Syu.
Not sure what fixed it but oh well.

[disregard...solved]KDE4.2 not working.
