Hal failing to start after fresh install of gnome

Hello, im fairly new to Arch, and i just got everything working and just installed gnome desktop.
Well i went to go restart HAL so i could startx and got this error
EXT3-fs error (device sda3): read_block_bitmap FAIL
Is there something i should change or get rid of to get hal to start.
When i do /etc/rc,d/hal start i get this
EXT3-fs error (device sda3) : read_block_bitmap: Cannot read block bitmap - block_group = 14. block_bitmap = 458752
Any help is much appreciated

This looks like a hardware issue. Maybe an "fsck" will fix this...

[Solved] X11 won't start after fresh install

Hihi!
I've been using Debian for quite some time now but I want to switch to Arch. My notebook is fairly modern and this doesn't mix well with Debian and as such my dGPU is basically unusable. My preferred method of installing Debian is to start headless so I felt quite at home with Arch and got through the install just fine, but I'm having problems launching Openbox among other hardware related issues. I spent yesterday googling and attempting fixes but came up with nothing, so I had to reinstall Debian as I was counting on having a usable computer at the end of the day. I did write down the messages I was getting though, hopefully they are enough to diagnose the issue. My hardware:
AMD A10-5750M (8650G graphics)
AMD Radeon 8970M 2GB
The kernel was the one in the very latest install snapshot (3.12-9 or something)
The first thing I noticed after booting into the fresh install was a warning along these lines
[drm:r600_dma_ring_test] radeon: ring 3 test failed
I ignored it, and preceeded to install the following packages
xorg-server
xorg-utils
xorg-xinit
mesa
xf86-video-ati
openbox
openbox-themes
other things related to the UI I wanted
The ring 3 test warning still occured on reboot after installing X and the radeon drivers. Again I ignored it. My .xinitrc was simply exec openbox-session
I ran startx and it failed, and got a bunch of errors that began right after a reference to "radeon" and the kernel. My xorg log did not get far at all. In fact the last lines were
(II) config/udev: Adding drm device (/dev/dri/card0)
(II) config/udev: Adding drm device (/dev/dri/card1)
And that was literally the end of the log. This is clearly a GPU/driver issue, probably with the 8970M as card1 seems to be the last line? Any help is appreciated
edit: This is the same process I use to install Debian, and using this exact same kernel (plus the Debian patches) I can start X just fine. my dGPU is unusable with the FOSS drivers through as there is no glamor support in Debian. I get segfaults whenever I launch something with DRI_PRIME=1 after setting the 8970M as the offload provider
Last edited by remyze (2014-02-09 04:02:04)

Ok I installed fresh and had the same issues as last time. With KMS early start I still have the same problems launching X and I still have the ring 3 test error (it just appears earlier).
There is nothing pure text in /var/log, I don't know if theres a way to use systemd with wgetpaste, so I took a picture that is hopefully not to difficult to read. I tried to sharpen it up a bit in GIMP.
*see pastebin below*
I also noticed that I get that ring 3 error even when I boot up the Arch installer via USB. I wonder if I should try an older image with an older kernel?

Vista won't start after fresh install of LabVIEW & 4G RAM

Since Vista is such a memory glutton I decided to upgrade my AMD64 box to 4 Gig RAM. Good idea, no? Turns out not. Now Vista won't start. It locks up at the (lack of) progress bar before the log-in screen. After much hollerin' and hair pullin' I reinstalled Vista and now it sees 3.25 Gig. I install updates; everything looks good; I install LabVIEW 8.0 and activate it. At restart WinDoze Vista won't start. Now I want to scream. My Linux (Ubuntu Gutsy) partition runs fine and indicates 3.9 Gig RAM.
What is LabVIEW installing that has caused this? Does anybody have a place to start looking?
Thank You for reading my rantings
LabVIEW 8.0.1; WinDoze XP
aut viam inveniam aut faciam

Well, NI doesn't claim LabVIEW 8.0 is Vista compatible.
If you did the full install, you probably also installed Device Drivers and such. If you used the ones released with 8.0, they are definitely not Vista compatible. Those device drivers will try to load during Vista bootup. If you did, you will need to do a clean uninstall following this procedure. Download the latest drivers from NI's website and see if that fixes your problem.

Ohasd not starting after fresh install

Hi,
I have installed Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production With the Real Application Clusters and Automatic Storage Management options on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64) 11.0.
After installation all cluster and resources were up, I could log in to database. I have restarted orcl1 node, and after boot the ohasd service is not started. Same is with orcl0 node. When I start manually, the cluster comes up. See below:
grid@orcl1:~> crsctl check has

Anyone has idea why ohasd service is not started automatically ?
Update:
I have changed /etc/init.d/ohasd file so that it 'logs' to /tmp time when invoked (see below the code). After reboot there is no record of startup /tmp/ohasd*
orcl1:~ # chkconfig --list ohasd

Problem with MTRR - X doesn't start after fresh install

Hi all!
I have a big problem with MTRR, i think...
My PC Specs: P4 3GHZ with HT "prescot", Asus P4S800D-X, ATI x1650 Pro, 1024MB Ram Dual Channel, etc...
I can't start the X system. When i try to try the new Xorg.conf, the X seems to start but the screen stays blank and sometimes can i go back to TTY and sometimes not...
I've tryed with the following drivers and no luck.
- Vesa: Blank Screen, sometimes keyboard works and sometimes not.
- RadeonHD: The same...
- Radeon (or ati): The same...
At the end of the Xorg.0.log, i see the MTRR problem. the memory from the VGA Card is not detected automatically. The "cat /proc/mtrr" differs from ubuntu 8.04, when the X server works correctly.
Ive been reading a lot in google and others forum and see a lots of tricks related to MTRR (but im not completly sure of that's the problem...) but every trick i try doesn't seems to work.
I tryed the following tricks:
- Adding the memory to /proc/mtrr manually = Added correctly but NO LUCK
- Activate/Deactivate HotPlugging = NO LUCK
- Adding to my boot line the "nopat" and "enable_mtrr_cleanup = MTRR keeps showing wrong memory (no video memory)
- After adding correctly the memory to MTRR try the xorg.conf but blank screen (i dunno if xorg rewrites the mtrr when run)
- Some others tricks i cant remember...
Also, with the radeonhd, i get this errors in xorg.0.log:
- rhdAtomgetDDCIndex: GPIO_DDC Index 14 exceeds maximum 5
- RHDCSStop: Command Submission backen is not active!
- error setting MTRR ( base... blablabla) Invalid argument (22)
That's not my first install, but i can't make it work. As i readed, it's a kernel problem related to 2.6.29, in 2.6.28 there's no problem but i dont have access to the old kernel.
Can someone help my or i need to wait for a new kernel release to use Arch?
Bye!

I can't solve your problem, but I can help you work around it by downgrading if nobody else can figure it out.
You can find old packages here at the Arch Rollback Machine project repo someone thankfully keeps running,
http://arm.nrk.cc/
Just go to 'core' and get the package(s) you need and downgrade. There is also a thread on here somewhere about setting up pacman.conf to point to a specific date with ARM if you don't want to get individual stuff manually, but just doing it individually would probably be easier, as I don't expect the kernel has too many other things you need

My mac pro crashed. Apple genius people said to reinstall snow leopard. I did and it failed to start after i installed. I started with the power button, tried to install upgrades, and now I get only a grey screen with spining wheel.

How can I restart a mac pro that shows only a grey screen with a spinning wheel. I reinstalled snow leopard (10.6.3) over 10.6.8 because apple genious people said I had problems with my library files after a time capsule crash. I reinstalled but when done I got only a blue screen. I restarted with the power button and tried to insall 10.6 combined upgrades. I got an error message that it could not install because of an error. When I powered down and tried to restart, I get only a grey screen. My optical drive does not open so I can't restart from another source.

Restart, holding down the mouse button. That should eject the disc. Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC. Then, pop in the install disc, restart with it in again, select your language, and, when the menu bar pops up, select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. select the boot volume and repair the disk.

ColdFusion 8 Fails to start after update Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update 4

I have been using ColdFusion on a Mac for years. Now CF fails to start after I updated Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4. I usually start by typing in the terminal window sudo /Applications/ColdFusion8/bin/ColdFusion start.
There is a crash report but I don't know how to read it. See attached.
Please help, I need this working for my job.
Thanks...Colin

Dear Craig,
Macbook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB RAM
I'm sure that this is 64-bit
CF 8.0.1 Enterprise Build 3080
I had moved the Java SE 6 to the top in both Plugin and Applications. The
correct version is showing in the terminal window. See below.
Last login: Thu Jun 18 11:27:09 on ttys001
Beta-4:~ Colin$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_13"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_13-b03-211)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.3-b02-83, mixed mode)
Beta-4:~ Colin$
CF will not start. I have the activity monitor open, and when I start CF you
see it in the activity monitor for a few seconds as it starts up. When the
message process is completed in the terminal window CF disappears in the
activity monitor.
Any suggestions?
C
Hi, Colin,
My apologies but I forgot to ask 2 questions: (1) What kind of Mac you have
(Intel or PowerPC)? (2) What version of CF are you running and what installer
did you choose (8 or 8.0.1, 32-bit, 64-bit, etc.)?
To start, try the following:
1. Normally you'd shut CF down first ... but that's not necessary for you
2. Open Java Preferences again
3. Select Java SE 6 and move it (drag) to the top spot in both section (Applet
Plugin and Applications)
4. Open Terminal
5. Type java -version (you should see 1.6.0_13 as the new version)
6. Try to start CF again
This may not work (I've had issues with it) but it's technically how it's
supposed to work. With the Java Preferences utility, you're visually setting a
default JVM (you can do it with commands in Terminal but this is much faster
and easier).
If CF still won't start, look for the jvm.config file in your CF application
folder (try /Applications/ColdFusion8/bin or
/Applications/ColdFusion8/runtime/bin -- the latter is where a jvm.config file
is on my machine for a particular version of CF that's installed similar to
yours). You can override the JVM in this file but, hopefully, that won't be
necessary!
Best,
Craig

[zen@intellitech ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/hal start

It's odd, because D-BUS will start but hal will not... Anybody have any suggestions?
* UPDATE (10/08/08): Did a full system upgrade and removed dbus from daemons array in rc.conf. UDEV EVENTS Processing speed seems to be back to normal.
** SOLUTION UPDATE: After removing custom ntfs-3g fdi policies from /etc/hal/fdi/policy/, hal seems to load without any problems. This seems to be a bug, since my policies were working at one point, and I believe a hal update caused the problem. I'll see if I can track down the exact hal version that it breaks on, and submit a respective bug report for it.
** OFF-TOPIC UPDATE: Using hwdetect --modules to get a modules list, and using these modules in rc.conf with MOD_AUTOLOAD turned off (and also in mkinitcpio.conf and running mkinitcpio -g <path>), seems to have dramatically increased my "Load udev events" processing time. After doing this, my udev speed went from almost 4000ms to literally < 500ms.

you have dbus starting before hal but hal starts debus by default so please try this...
DAEMONS=(...@acpid @hal @alsa...)
and delete debus from that line.
Removed dbus from the daemons array and hal still won't start. Also, I noticed that the "Loading udev events" portion of the boot process seems to take a lot longer than it used to. Last boot, it took about 19130ms, whereas it used to take < 3000ms. Could these be related?
Also, I ran a full system upgrade, both udev and hal were upgraded.

Multiple Oracle Homes - Oracle Listener failes to start after installation

Just in case the listener fails to start after an oracle installation, please check the oracle ports in the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora, both of which are present in the following directory:
...\oracle\<SID>\<Ver>\NETWORK\ADMIN
All installations should have separate listener ports eg. If the first installation has port 1527, the next one should be 1528 and so on..
If they do not, manually change the ports and start the listeners.
Also check SAP Note 98252. Although I didn't find it necessary (I think it applies only if you have a single listener for all oracle homes), it did give me an idea that there some config problem in the .ora files.
Also see [this thread|Oracle Listener error in Import ABAP phase?; for related details

hi
thanks for the help ,
I have been using the SQL Server , i am totally blank about Oracle
i am totally confused with this user, and hoststring
i logged in to the enterprise manager using System and manager password
But i cannot connect to any database using SQL Server
i am not remembering any user name or password i have given during installation.
the only thing i remember is
Global databasename = (globedb) i have given
For SID = globedb the same name i have given
for sys ,i have given sysdb as password
and for system i have given systemdb as password
with this can i do anything
when expand the schemas ,i can see the XDB,SCOTT and SYS . how can i login to this .
if i want to login to the scott
what would be the username,password,and hoststring. since i haven't set any password and username ,there would be some default username ,password, and hoststring.
if any one can help me please help me
thanks regards
