Fresh install (2012/11/01): Not reaching the command line after boot

Hi
I just installed the latest 2012/11/01 base + base-devel Arch, but after booting in. the process stopped at the point were the last messages from the kernel were printed in the console. The boot process never reached the shell command line for logging in. I re-installed, thinking I did something wrong but again I had the same problem. Eventually. I accidentally found that by keying Enter, I could get the shell login request and I could login OK, having a seemingly functional base system. However, the console font I specified in vconsole.conf did not take effect and the halt command would hang, although reboot worked OK.
I have of course little experience with systemd, but I get the feeling the all this is due to systemd not running properly. I read whatever documentation I found relevant but since there is so much of it, I believe I must have missed the relevant info.
Please help me to get my new install run properly and please clarify whether  have to explicitely enable systemd after completing the official installation instructions.
My thanks in advance.

Please always post your configuration files if you reference them.

The halt command does not turn off your computer. The "poweroff" command does.
Writing "systemctl poweroff" is not necessary, as /sbin/poweroff is a link to systemctl poweroff.
Last but not least search for suspicous lines in the log files. You can read them with this command.
$ journalctl

  • SQL 2012 SSIS package runs from the command line (dtexec.exe) and completes right away ...

    Hi
    I’m upgrading our SSIS packages from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012 .
    Everything is working fine in Visual Studio, but when I’m submitting dtexec.exe it’s finishing right away in the command line (the actual execution takes long time). 
    It looks to me that as the return code doesn’t pass properly.
    As I have depending tasks how I can make sure all jobs will be executed in the proper order.

  • Connection string not in the command line argument.

    Hi,
    I found myself constantly looking for the debug connection string and to enter it in the "Command line arguments".  I decided to create my Add-On base class from which all my add-ons inherit from.
    In the constructor of the base Add-On class I determine the connection string based on whether the code is in debug more or not.
    Example:
    string connectionString  = string.Empty;
    #if DEBUG
        _connectionString = "0030002C0030002C00530041005000420044005F00440061007400650076002C0050004C006F006D0056004900490056";
    #else
        // Get the log info
        if (Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().Length > 1 )
            _connectionString = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().GetValue(1).ToString();
    #endif
    I hope this help.

  • I want to delete a wireless entry in Keychain from the command line - how?

    We have 800+ laptops that have a wireless that we want deleted from the stations keychain. The ssid is called "campus".
    I would like to know how to using command line delete the campus entry. I have been playing with the security command, but cannot seem to delete the keychain entry.
    Any suggestions?

    "Everything I know about the command is in the man page. I can't give you a literal command, because I don't know what to put in for the arguments. To be honest, if the man page is not understandable enough for you to build the command, I don't think you should use it at all. Use Profile Manager in OS X Server, which is the right way to do what you're trying to do."
    I do not know why this post did not show up here on the thread, I did get the email. Not sure how to respond. We have 800 stations. Can not go and touch each one, so looking for a command line to remove the ssid "campus" - If I read your message correct, you do not know the command line either for this. Thank you.

    It is Command+r or for the online internet system it is Command+option/Alt+r keys. Then you use Disk Utility to erase the macintosh partition, from the built in recovery hd, or you can repartition the drive as one partition from the online system.
    To actually get to the online internet system you have to hold that key combo down until you see a globe on the screen. Otherwise it will just boot from the built in recovery hd on the internal drive.

    Hi,
    I get the following error "J2EE  engine JCO did  not reach the "starting application" state"   when I try to install my Java components  using SAP Development  Studio.
    When I checked my std_servero.out the get the following error

    Hello Santhi
    The GC messages you see are just an indication of the garbage collector activity. It is not an error.
    I'm not sure about what you are doing with the Developer Studio. I guess your WAS Java is already installed, is it right? Are you able to start the visual administrator? Please, paste here the exact error you receive.

  • Installed graphics card does not support the opengl features recommended

    I've installed FCP6 on my PowerMac (PPC G4 DP 1.25GHz), and when I run it, I get a warning ("...installed graphics card does not support the opengl features recommended...") and the program ends. The graphics card is the ATI Radeon 9000 Pro (64MB)
    I'm looking for a definitive answer regarding my hardware compatibility with FCS2 (specifically, FCP6). I'm NOT looking for an answer along the lines of: your system is too old to run this.
    I've checked the minimum system requirements from the apple website (http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/specs/
    and http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/download/):
    * A Macintosh computer with a 1.25GHz or faster PowerPC G4, PowerPC G5, Intel Core Duo, or Intel Xeon processor
    * 1GB of RAM
    * An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors)
    * A display with 1024-by-768 resolution or higher
    * Mac OS X v10.4.11 or later
    * QuickTime 7.3 or later
    * DVD drive for installation
    I have all that stuff. What I'd like is to know which component of my system is FCP6 complaining about (vis-a-vis the error message above), alternatively, if someone has had success with a similar configuration, I'd like to know anything they think might help.
    Thanks in advance for any helpful advice you may have.

    The minimum would probably be an nVidia Fx5200 or an ATI 9600...

  • Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air. In bootcamp i allocate the partition then i click install and bootcamp will not see the disk.

    Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?

    I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

    Try resetting Photoshop Preferences.   Use your Photoshop start icon to launch Photoshop and immediately press and hole Shift+Ctrl|CMD+Alt|Option keys   Photoshop should Prompt you with Do you want your Preferences deleted. Reply yes.   Photoshop should then delete your user ID preferences and then create a default set of preferences for your ID and start successfully.

  • I installed Lion, but did not get the multi touch gestures feature. Also my "front row" is gone.

    I installed Lion, but did not get the multi touch gestures feature. Also my "front row" is gone.

    What model computer do you have? some early trackpads will not support all gestures.
    Front Row was dropped by Apple in Lion. I beleive it can be recovered from Snow Leopard, I haven't tried it myself.

  • Skinned scrollbar thumb does not reach the bottom of the track

    I have an application in Flex 4.1 where there is a vertical List, bound to an array. As long as the List scrollbar is not skinned, everything is ok, the thumb oscillates from top to bottom of the track. But after adding a skin it works bad. The thumb never goes to the very bottom of the track when scrolling, but locks somewhere in between. For very long list of elements, it even stops halfway.
    Despite of this behavior, the list is in fact scrolled to the last element - so the problem is not with some elements at the bottom of the list being unreachable, but it is only about the thumb not reaching the bottom of the track, which looks as if the list was locked halfway. The skin is very simple and it is just about defining an image for the track and thumb. Is there any method to ensure that the thumb always goes to the bottom of the track, regardless list size?

    I have 3 skins: for the scrollbar itself, for the track and for the thumb.Thumb and track skins are using fxg vector images, but exactly the same negative result is without fxg images, e.g. only using simple filled rectangles in place of the fxg - I just checked it.
