How do I get a network connection with an Arch rescue CD? [solved]

trying to get my system back up as this has also happened to me after a -Syu
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=93107
In my case I get
mounting ' ' failed
No such device Failed to mount the real root device.
Bailing out, piss off.
or similar, and yes, the device is listed as ' '
It does not help typing anything into the boot loader (grub2)
Lots of things not found and then it just stops trying to load and I have no shell
Now I've got linux-3.1.1 but something is screwed up. I'd like to go back to 3.0
but have too many dependancies on >3.1
Anyway, I tried chrooting into my system with the latest Live CD.
I followed the chroot Wiki but can't get pacman to connect.
Shouldn't there be more to get my network up?
Of course any other suggestions to get the system running again are appreciated.

How did you set up chroot?
FYI, you don't need to chroot to use pacman with a not root filesystem.
man pacman wrote:-r, --root <path>
Specify an alternative installation root (default is /). This should not be used as a way to install software into /usr/local instead of /usr. This option is used if you want to install a package on a temporary mounted partition that is "owned" by another system.  NOTE: if database path or logfile are not specified on either the command line or in pacman.conf(5), their default location will be inside this root path.

  • How can I get Bridge to connect with my Iphone 5s?

    It worked fine with Iphone 4s, but even though the IPhone 5s is connected to my Mac, Bridge will not recognize it.  Also, I cannot update to  6.5  in Bridge either for some reason. 

    Connect your iPhone via the standard USB connector to your computer, open Bridge and if you have not set to open Photodownloader automatically use the command  File / Get photo's from camera  or use the tiny camera icon with arrow down at in the icon bar top left of bridge window.
    This should open Adobe Photodownloader and it should auto select the images and movies but otherwise use the option to select the source. Also study the options available in Photodownloader and use the advance button to get some thumbs of the content on your phone.

    Reading some older threads from 2012 and 2011 it appears the problem was present even then.  Part of the problem was due to people using multiple or different account id's on the various devices.  In my case, I only have one ID and it is the same on all devices yet the iPhone and iPad are still throwing the same error when I try turning on iTunes Match.  This is very frustrating . . . any help out there?  Thanks.

  • I hit Forget Network and now cannot get back onto my wireless home network. All of my other computers and iphones are fine.  How do I get the network back?  It shows in my list of networks but when I use the password and try to join it says not connected.

    See if the iPad will accept the password after you restart it. It's worth a try.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    You could also try a reset as well.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Cannot obtain network connection with Clear modem. Is there a special trick to get beyond the blinking amber light?

    My connection follows this chain:
    Clear modem to telephone router
    telephone router to network router (in this case I am attempting to set up the AirPort Express in this place).
    so I have opened up the Airport Utility and didn't have any luck with getting the Network Connection to turn green and subsequently the AirPort Express is not completing the handshake with the network to get fully connected.
    I've gone back to a Netgear router in the meantime and that gets the conection right away. I have only Mac computers connecting to the router and one Epson printer that will connect wirelessly.
    Any advice or experiences with this setup would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I got the support I needed directly from Apple. It turnsout to have had zero to do with Clear. I had named the new AirPort network the same as the previous network and we concluded that it was making the new settings confused. I did a hard reset, renamed the network to a completely unique name and we were off and running. Thanks Apple!

  • How to share an airport internet connection with XP thru a crossover cable

    Any help appreciated - My iMac is connected to the internet and home network through airport. I would like to connect an XP machine to the iMac through ethernet with a crossover cable. I'd then like to be able to share the iMac's internet and network connection with the XP and file share between computers.
    How should I configure the machines? I can get them to share files (with a manual IP address) but even though "Internet Sharing" is clicked on the iMac the XP does not connect to the internet.
    iMac is running 10.5.6
    thanks for any help!

    Yes, I do have "internet sharing" turned on. It is set to share the connection from Airport to computers using Ethernet. But there is no internet on the PC. Should they both be set for DHCP? (they are)

  • How do I get the internet connection back onto ipad even though it connects to Wifi successfully and I have checked on my iPhone which does connect via the same wifi and to the internet?

    How do I get the internet connection back onto ipad even though it connects to Wifi successfully and I have checked on my iPhone which does connect via the same wifi and to the internet?

    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make/model, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • Using Juniper Network Connect with Lion

    Has anyone had an luck using Network Connect to connect to a Juniper VPN with Lion? When I try to connect to secure network using Safari, Network Connect does not install and launch.

    What version of Juniper are you folks running?  We are still on 6.x (I'll have to check on what X is, I think its 5)
    I enabled the java "enable applet plug-in and web sstart applications" and it still gets stuck on our host checker screen.   I set the developer Safari 5.0.6 and it actually gets past host checker, but does not present an option for network connect.
    This tells me that host checker is running but no longer seeing what it needs to see (?) for the network connect option to be presented.   I was told by Juniper that an update needs to happen but it won't be availble until September.
    Can someone verify they can actually get a network connect session working using Lion and safari 5.1 and how they got it to work, and what version of Juniper they are on? 
    If we need to get to 7.x we can do it on a test box but moving production there will take a good long time.   We *just* enabled the Mac VPN service at our company, and now those upgrading to Lion are finding themselves once again without VPN capabilities.    This is a real problem as we don't control weather they upgrade or not, and everyone wants to get to the latest OS.
    Juniper is on its last legs at our company.  This is probably the straw... they should have had this tested by now.

  • How do you get IBM Access Connections on T41 to remember channel of weak signal SSID?

    I have a T41 with Windows XP SP2. It uses IBM Access Connections to connect to wireless networks.
    How can I get IBM Access Connections to store the channel used by an SSID, so that it won't roam through all channels over and over looking for a better channel?

    i seem unable to setup the AE to do the same thing. i can stream audio to my hifi no problems - this is cool. i can set it up to create a wireless network and give it a different ssid and channel but it doesnt seem to want to choose the same ssid. i can manually change it to the same - is this what i should do?
    Yes you will manually need to enter the SSID.
    however when i do this the AE trys to act as DHCP and gives a 10.1 address to the laptop which is odd
    You also need to configure the AirPort Express (AX) to bridge (not share a single IP address).
    should i be using the join a wireless network option instead of the create a network? but isnt this for people who are extending their networks wirelessly?
    You should be using the "create a network" option.

    Based on what you've posted, your computer does not have the right tuner.   You need a QAM tuner to record locals from FiOS, or a CableCard tuner to record all local and cable channels from FiOS.
    QAM tuners to record local channels only
    This requires Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250
    SiliconDust HDHomeRun (info on a sale)
    CableCard tuner to record local and cable channels
    This requires Windows 7 + one CableCard from Verizon for $3.99/mo
    ATI TV Wonder Digital PC CableCard Tuner (records one channel at a time) -- $200-$250 on ebay
    Ceton MOCUR tuner (records four channels at a time) -- coming in early 2010 for $400-$600
    Make sure your computer has Windows 7 Home Premium (or better) installed.   That's necessary to support CableCard tuners.

    how do i get a wifi connection at home for my ipad from a imac

    If you have a wired connection to the iMac and you are asking about using the iMac for the Internet connection for the iPad, you will need to use Internet Sharing on the Mac.
    No clue which OS version you run on the Mac, but here is a link to help with 10.6 and this will get you started. You can Google " Internet sharing with Mac OS ...." and come up with a number of support articles.

    Does Apple make a printer for the iPad and if not how do I get it to work with a HP Officejet 6500A Plus printer? Thanks

    Apple don't make any printers, but there are a number of the printers that are AirPrint-enabled, which you should be able to print to just by the printer and the iPad being on the same wifi network - the models that support AirPrint are listed on this page (the page also includes a bit of troubleshooting at the bottom of it) and it includes :
    HP Officejet 6500A e-All-In-One E710a
    HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-In-One E710n
    If your's isn't one of those then you could see if HPs own ePrint app works with it, or there are third-party printer apps such as PrintCentral Pro and Print n Share which might work it
