hello guys again. well the problem im having now is that i can seem to edit the /etc/grub.d/40_custom file, it just wouldn't save what i want. every time i reboot the CD it seems to "forget" the setup.
and the code should be this right?
menuentry "My arch" {
set root=(hd0,4)
linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID= rw quietlinux
initrd /boot/initrd.img
thanks to everyone

Thanks for the hint! I checked the SMART values and got an UDMA CRC Error Count of 432. Apparently, this is a sign of cable issues so I put in my old drive and checked again, it has an UDMA CRC Error Count of 0. I'm not sure if this means the SSD is broken or not.
I also tested the speed of my old drive with hdparm:
cached reads: ~3000MB/s
buffered disk reads: ~83MB/s
This is seems normal to me, so I guess the cable works properly after all.
Also, the Ubuntu Disks utility couldn't find any partitions on the SSD, which is odd. I was able to mount them, read from them and write to them using an Arch Linux Live disk. Why can't Gnome Disks find the partitions?

[SOLVED]How to load the kernel?

Hi all
First I should say that I found the same as my question in the internet bot there were no answer can solve my problem too.
I just installed my Arch on my new laptop and I can say I am new.
after all installations and reboot I have grub menu but when I want to boot I face with below error
"error no such device" ad4103....."
"loading linux core repo kernel"
"error: no such partition"
"loading initial ramdisk"
"error: you need to load the kernel first"
I have no access to command line but grub command line.
How can I get rid of this error?

uh...post your fstab as well as your bootloader configuration. I believe your initramfs is loaded from /boot - if you have that on a separate partition you need to make sure that a) it's specified correctly with the correct device name or UUID in fstab and that b) grub picked up the correct location of your initramfs and kernel when running grub-mkconfig (I'm assuming you did run grub-mkconfig before rebooting). Hopefully I'm not too off base here, but your problem lies somewhere in that area.

Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.ko' [SOLVED]

if you used the packages from repos, the blacklist is done automatically in nvidia,
$ pacman -Qo /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau_blacklist.conf
/etc/modprobe.d/nouveau_blacklist.conf is owned by nvidia 195.36.31-1
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau_blacklist.conf
blacklist nouveau
but i guess you just want to mess your system by using unsupported and very bad ways and you are way smarter than the devs if you used that installer

In elements 12, when I click a photo in Window Explorer, it will load the elements 12 editor, but it doesn't load the pic ( *.jpg ) into the editor? It always did in earlier versations?

When you click on the Playclaw's Encoder tab, what do you see in the next dialog for Video Compression when the Container field in that dialog is set to .avi?
Since you are seeing some video at all in Premiere Elements (glitchy as it is), I am assuming the video compression is not AVCHD. If that were the case, I would expect you not to be able to import the file at all. By any chance is the video compression Xvid or DivX?
It appears that Video compression could also be "H.264 Intel QuickSync" with a mkv file extension. That seems ruled out since you say your file extension is .avi and not mkv.
So, with the .avi file extension
what is listed as Video Compression and what have you done, if anything, under the Encoder Setup button?
Do you have the same issues with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
Also, if you took footage that worked before in Premiere Elements back into today's Premiere Elements, problems or no problems?
At this time, can you import a bunch of jpg photos into a project and work without this type of issue?
Thanks.

Running OpenScript Application doesn't load the forms

Hi,
I'm new using OpenScript and I'm facing a problem.
I need to create scripts to test a site that implement some Oracle Forms, I can open IE and use the site without problems, BUT when I run OpenScript to create the script, the application doesn't load the forms!!!
After many attempts I found that someone changed the jvm.dll file of the JInitiator, I changed it again to the installation one, and I was able to see the form and recording the script, but when I play the script doesn't load the form!!!!
If I take a look to the screenshots, I can see the forms I recorded.
Now the change I did on the JInitiator only works from time to time!
Finally when I'm using the site and it doesn't load the forms I see this error on the bottom of the page: "error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Activator"
Anyone have an idea of what is happen and how to fix it?
These are the versions I'm using:
OpenScrip: 9.2.0.0 Production - Build ID: 2.5.0.0370
JInitiator: 1.3.1.29
IE: 7.0.5730.131C

A screen shot from Mission Control might be enlightening. If you can see the application window in Mission Control, what happens if you move it from one desktop to another? Or what happens if you eliminate one of the desktops?

I right click a link to open it in a new tab and it doesn't load the web page.

In firefox 4 I right click a link and go to open in new tab but it doesnt load the link it loads a Bing search instead. This is very frustrating, how can i fix this?
And why can't i access my add-ons? When i click add-ons it just opens a new tab.

Sounds like this bug:

Problem in loading the kernel files during kernel upgrade

Gurus ,
we are usinf solman 7.0 . our current patch level is 70 we are upgrading it to 159 . but when i try to uncar the files i get the error as ,
"SAPCAR: could not open for writing ABAP.pad (error 28). Permission denied"
the file ABAP.PAD has full prmission ....
how to get rid of this ..kindly help us .... we are strucked

Hi!
Even not knowing which platform you are working on, first off try to create a file in the directory you are unpacking to. (create an empty textfile in windows or "touch test" when using unix). If this works, you need to check if your user got permissions to overwrite/delete the files in the kernel directory.
If touch fails then you need to adjust the permissions of the directory itself you are working in.
Also make sure the files are not in use.

GRUB doesn't load from SSD

Hey,
I wanted to replace my HDD with an SSD. This is what I did:
1. boot into live disk, create partitions on my SSD: #1: /, btrfs, boot flag, #2: /, btrfs on LUKS [edit: I used fdisk, bad idea?]
2. mounted both partitions with compress=lzo, copied backup to the new disk.
3. chrooted into #1 (with proc, sys, /dev mounted properly)
4. installed grub2 (grub-install /dev/sdb)
5. changed /etc/default/grub and removed HDD-specific flags (I had a swapfile on my old drive)
5. created grub config (grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg)
6. changed /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab accordingly.
Then I wanted to reboot, but my laptop wouldn't turn off and the LED for disk activity was flashing all the time...
Eventually (after ~20min) I pressed the power button and it simply turned off.
Now, when I boot, BIOS takes about 15 s to load (before ~2s) while disk activity is high again (I have no idea what it is doing). If I try to boot from the SSD, the BIOS screen doesn't go away at all, if I leave the live system stick plugged in, I can boot into the live system.
Two other things, which puzzled me:
1. The SSD sometimes shows up correctly as "Samsung 840 Base" in BIOS, but sometimes the name is completely scrambled.
2. If I check the MBR, I can see GRUB2 on it. If I reboot a couple times, the MBR eventually gets erased (0xFFFFF.. written on it). I have NO clue why.
Also, if I boot the live system, sometimes I get a lot of errors (something about ata1, the ssd).
I also read about troubles with Samsung laptops (I got the Samsung 300V3A-S02DE) and SSDs, causing the laptop not to boot at all anymore, but that isn't my problem.
I activated AHCI, might that cause the problem? (I don't even know what the difference is).
One more thing: Is compression on /boot even possible? I read somewhere that it can only boot from uncompressed /boot, but since grub isn't even loading, I don't think this is the issue either.
The basic question is: Is the disk simply broken or is this a misconfiguration?
Thanks for any help!

Help !! Safari always crashes ! It sometimes work then doesn't load the pages thought time warner cable tells me my internet is working. What can i do ?

all is in the title , my airport is conected , internet is connected , but safari always crashes !!!! Its gonna work for 5 minutes then crash for 10 minutes , then work again ! then stop again i really want to fix this problem soon please help me !

There are a number troubleshooting steps you can take. I'd start by restarting in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one has become corrupt. If that doesn't work try downloading some other browers such as Firefox or Google Chrome. If those work then it points the finger at Safari. You can re-download and install Safari too. Next in Safari you can do some maintenance, by resetting Safari and clearning it's cahces.
Try those and if you still don' t have any luck post back and we can try some other ideas.

Web start seems to deploy but doesn't load the application

Grub doesn't load, goes straight to Vista

I am not new to Arch but have never dual-booted Windows and Linux before. I shrunk Vista to 30 GB (not without hassle, mind you, and many many defrags) and set up Arch on other partitions. This (according to cfdisk) is my current setup:
Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB)
Unusable 1.05*
sda1 Boot Primary Unknown (27) 6594.50*
sda2 Primary NTFS [^C] 31471.95*
sda3 Primary Linux ext3 101442.38*
sda5 Logical Linux swap / Solaris 2048.10*
Logical Free Space 18481.31*
I don't know exactly what /dev/sda1 IS, but I think it's something Windows is using. And I don't know why I have 1.5 MB of free space at the start of the drive... I just ignored it. Regardless, I installed Grub onto /dev/sda3. Rebooting takes me straight to Vista with no Grub at all. That's why I thought I had erred. If so, where should I install Grub, and how can I erase it from the MBR of /dev/sda3 properly?
>.< Darn dual-booting.

Wow that ftp install CD chroot was sure buggy for me. First df didn't work, then everything became read-only, and then it wouldn't let me unmount my hard drive, even though I made sure I wasn't using it. @_@ Regardless, grub seems to have installed correctly. It lets me go into both Arch and Vista without problem. Then, is there an easy way to erase the grub I'm presuming I also accidentally installed on /dev/sda3? XD
(Sorry for the stupid question, I've honestly never dual-booted before. My PC downstairs is pure Gentoo and nothing else).

My iTouch doesn't load the games. Keeps trying but no conncetion. Any solutions?

How can I get my games to load?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out and sign back in.
- Try syncing them from your iTunes library
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
