How to install cinnamon after arch linux core was installed?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to install cinnamon desktop environment after arch linux core was installed? It can access internet but no desktop environment now. So how to install and configure cinnamon on arch linux via command?
Many thanks!

after arch linux core was installed
So you finished installing the basesystem or also bootloader, graphics and so on? (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide)
If you finished installing with the Beginners Guide you need to install the cinnamon package (pacman -S cinnamon). After you installed cinnamon you need a display manager - e.g. lxdm (You can use another one, here's an overview: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Display_Manager). If you want to use lxdm with cinnamon you have to install the lxdm package (pacman -S lxdm) and enable it afterwards (systemctl enable lxdm.service). If you've done with this just restart, you should see the graphical display manager you installed. If there's a dropdownmenu or something like that (e.g. when you use gdm instead of lxdm) choose cinnamon as display environment and login.
More informations can be found in the wiki:
Display Manager: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LXDM
Display Environment: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cinnamon

Installing Windows XP after Arch Linux already been installed [SOLVED]

Here is my dilema:
I have a Fujitsu Lifebook T4010 Laptop with a Wacom Tablet built into the screen. About a month ago I installed Arch Linux on it. It took me a while to get everything working (tablet screen/function buttons/on rotate flip reso) but eventually I got it all working.
The thing is I feel like I'm not fully taking advantage of its tablet abilities. I want to be able to use it with Photoshop and Flash. I decided I should dual boot it with Windows XP / Arch.
So I cut down on my /home partition and freed up ~25 gigs of the total 80 gigs for Windows. When I went to install it told me the maximum number of partitions had been met. I looked it up online and apparently you can only have 4 primary partitions and with the 4 that Arch currently occupies (boot/swap/root/home) it looks like I'm out of luck.
I'm thinking my only option is to combine my home partition with my root partition to free up a primary partition. People tell me it's easier when you have Windows installed first but to be honest it took me quite some time to get this laptop/tablet up and running and all of it's features working for me how I wanted and I don't want to have to go through it again.
If anyone has any advice, work arounds, or could tell me how I would go about safely combining my home and root partition it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a ton,

After a second thought, you'd have to move the home partition as well, as the extended partition counts too. I'd start with an arch live cd, cfdisk, delete swap, make extended, 2 logical drives, format the partition, backup, move home's content. then delete home, create new primary, install windows, write grub again, put the new partitions into fstab and tell grub where to find windows.
EDIT: After a third thought, combining home and root might be easier: Just copy home's content to your root partition (if ther is enough room ...), unmount home, copy the stuff to /home and delete the home partition from fstab. Then delete the old home partition.
Copying the home's contents to the root partition was what I had in mind. I'm trying to figure out how I would go about doing that though. If I copy the /home to the root partition from the old home partition - will it automatically pick it up if I delete the fstab entry. Also will it be possible to expand my /root partition after that to take up the space the home partion use to own?

Install MATLAB after LabVIEW and SIT was installed

I have installed LabVIEW 8.2 and simulation interface toolkit in my computer.
The problem is I have Matlab 6.1 in my computer and it is not support by SIT so I updated it to the Matlab 2006b.
In such case I installed the Matlab after I installed the LabVIEW and the SIT. In this way I can find the NI sink or any other NI functions in MATLAB.
Is there any way to import the SIT to MATLAB besides reinstall SIT?
If reinstall SIT is necessry, should I just reinstall SIT or should I also reinstall any others? (I have LabVIEW RT, FPGA, Vision module in this computer)
Thanks,
-Alex

Alex,
You are missing all the files that need to be in Matlab. So, you just need to uninstall SIT and reinstall again. This should fix the location of the files and you can have SIT working again.
If you run into problems, let me know...

How do you exit the Arch Linux installer?

How do you exit the Arch Linux installer? I decided to install windows before installing Arch Linux because I want to dual-boot/with those operating systems.
What command should I type to exit & eject my Install CD?

reset button?
I think it depends on far into the process you are, if you are formatting the drive anew then it shouldn't matter much when, where, or how
Best of Luck,
Pat Jr.

How do i know if an add on was installed ok

I am increcidibly lame when it comes to computer talk. I just installed Firefox and installed the add-on Addblock plus. How do I know that the add on was installed? Is there somewhere that I need to enable the add on also?

You appear to be using an outdated unsupported version of firefox. (From looking at the system details aside). You possibly will be unable to update from Firefox 5 to Firefox 7 using the Help menu.
Download the latest version from an official website such as:
* http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/download.html
* take CARE '''not''' to use any options saying something along the lines of'' remove personal settings'', because that is likely to remove profiles from all normally installed versions of Firefox, and you will loose data such as settings, passwords and bookmarks.
* see also

I have downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player, but it was installed to a "disk image". I don't know what this is and I cannot see anything that requires Flash Player. What am I doing wrong?

I have downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player, but it was installed to a "disk image". I don't know what that is, but I cannot view anything that requires flash player. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help, but that didn't do any good either. I have been double clicking from the download files, double clicking on the "install adobe flash player", closing the anti virus, closing Safari, watching the install progress and clicking finish. It indicates that "flash player" is installed, but every time I try to view something requiring flash player, it tells me I must download it. It shows up in the "system preference" and from there I can make some changes, but it still won't let me view anything requiring "flash player". It does not show up in my apps like Adobe Reader does. It shows up in the "downloaded files" section of "Finder". I'm getting really perplexed over my inability to get this right.

How to install Dofus on Arch Linux 64

Hey everyone! I am running Arch Linux 64-bit with E18 (enlightenment). I am trying to install Dofus (mmorpg game) but I am running into multiple issues. If anyone is willing to guide me through how I can fully install it and get it working that would be awesome! I tried yaourt but it would return errors while making the files and throw me into an infinite loop as it gets mad and tries to rebuild the file where the error occurs. I tried to install it directly from source from the tarball on the AUR, I did the ./configure and the game built and everything, but when I run the game through the launcher, the launcher doesn't open and I get 3 '?' signs with a diamond appear in the terminal on the next line. When I try to run the game directly, it gets stuck on the loading page at 63% with the red dofus loading symbol.
Any help is greatly appreciated ... just gave arch linux a try after using FreeBSD/Debian for my whole life, never had any issues on FreeBSD or Debian, but apparently arch is a whole different story.
Cheers,

Well there weren't exactly any errors at all visibly. Its just that the game didn't start as it was supposed to. What I am asking in this thread is -- can you please link me to a guide of how to properly install Adobe AIR on 64 bit arch linux + get Dofus to work with it as well. And I can post back my results from that since I don't exactly have any errors to post at the moment.
But if you insist, what I have I tried so far is this...
[[email protected] ~]$ yaourt dofus
1 aur/ankama-transition 3.7.20131013-1 [installed] (3)
Updater for Ankama games Dofus and Wakfu
2 aur/dofus 2.17.0-3 (39)

==> Enter n of packages to be installed (ex: 1 2 3 or 1-3)
==> --------------------------------------------------------
==> 2
Then during the installation the errors occur when it gets to this package:
lib32-webkitgtk2
There are just dones of make errors flying down the screen and it causes them to loop and never ends...
So really what I mean to ask is, is there anyway I can circumvent the installation of this file?
==> dofus dependencies:
- ankama-transition>=3.5-6 (already installed)
- adobe-air-sdk (already installed)
- lib32-gtk2 (already installed)
- lib32-libxml2 (already installed)
- lib32-nss (already installed)
- lib32-alsa-lib (already installed)
- lib32-webkitgtk2 (building from AUR)
^ lib32-webkitgtk2 or install it another way because clearly dofus needs it, but it causes errors during installation.
Also, I don't know what happens here, but this is the part in the terminal of the installation of lib32-webkitgtk2 where it starts to break and loops over and over again...

Install Windows 7 after Arch Linux?

Hi guys.
My fingers urge to play some Windows games, so I thought I might as well give dualbooting a shot.
I know it's usually easiest to install Linux after Windows, but I don't feel like reformatting my current setup.
This is how my current partitioning works:

I've never quite understood the whole partion-part-stuff, so that is why I'm posting this in the newbie corner.
What am I supposed to do from here, preferably step-by-step, to install Windows 7 on my desktop PC running ArchLinux as the only OS atm?

you dont need that stupid 100 mb partition for windows. The way i did it was /boot as my first partition just because i wanted a boot partition.
My second partition was my ntfs/windows then i had
swap then
/root then
/home
Install arch linux first, then go back and boot to the dvd install windows on that ntfs partition. It will make a master boot record and overwrite your grub stuff. Stupid windows. You can then boot back into the arch linux cd and there is a command to fix the grub. This might do the trick, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24113 or you can reinstall the arch linux to fix the grub stuff and add windows in the menu.lst. The place holder is already there just un comment it and i think you leave out makeactive. At least mine has that commented out so its not using it.
I guess whats important here is that you diaper in your ntfs windows partition. Then windows cant make that 100mb sys partition. My windows works just fine...I think its used for saving system restore points.....not sure.
good luck.

Computer freezes before BIOS after arch linux install

This is my first time installing arch linux, I followed the beginners install guide word for word. However, after the install, my computer gets stuck before the BIOS. It identifies the RAM, GPU, and harddrive (all Diagnostic lights are ok on my MOBO). Before the install it booted fine, but now when I boot it up it wont go to the BIOS screen no matter how many times I press delete. However, when I remove the harddrive it boots to the arch linux install screen on my USB drive perfectly.
I know it is not my hardware because I did many different tests (mem-test, swapped out harddrives, tried 1 stick of RAM in different slots, etc). More importantly, my harddrive is brand new so I know it isn't dead because I could partition it when I was installing arch linux.
Computer specs:
AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3700+
DFI LANPARTY nf4-d
ATI Radeon x800
2 GB DDR RAM
160 GB SSD
I have no idea what the problem is, I must have screwed something up with the bootloader or something. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Try clearing the CMOS settings either by removing the motherboard battery for some minutes or by using the relevant jumper on the motherboard. Check the manual of your motherboard for details.

[SOLVED] Installing Windows XP after Arch Linux

I'm not sure at all where to post this, so I've decided to do it here since I have the problem on a laptop... Please move if it should be somewhere else.
I installed Arch Linux on my new laptop a month ago or so, and am very pleased to have found the very kind of distro I've been looking for. However, I'm having trouble with my graphics (either wine doesn't support it, or the drivers don't have 2D/3D acceleration), and now I want to install Windows XP next to Arch Linux.
Using a GParted LiveCD, I've repartitioned the harddrive as such: Unpartitioned Space (27GB), Linux (197GB), SWAP (5GB).
I've also removed the bootable flag from the Linux partition, just to be sure. However, when I try to install Windows XP, it gets stuck after unpacking a bunch of drivers, giving me a bluescreen that tells me to make sure the hardware isn't broken, check my harddrive with CHKDSK /F, or look for viruses. Ofcourse I know none of these are true, since I'm running Arch Linux just fine.
A friend suggested that maybe my hardware isn't supported by Windows XP, which sounds like the most reasonable explanation so far, but I can't find a list of supported hardware. The M$ homepage basicly says
"Pentium 233-megahertz (MHz) processor or faster (300 MHz is recommended)"
for CPU, which doesn't help me at all.
My hardware is:
Processor: Intel Celeron 2.2 Ghz
Memory: 2GB DDR2
Graphics: Intel 4500MHD
And the laptop is called an "eMachines E525", though that doesn't say much since there are very, very many called this.
Can anyone give me any hints as to what I might be doing wrong?

Sounds like something I'll want to do. Where did you download the drivers? Do I have to follow some guide? Thanks for the tip
EDIT:
Indeed I will want to install AHCI drivers, otherwise Arch Linux fails to boot quite badly. There is also a problem preventing me from booting when I'm using AHCI though;
At boot, Arch Linux checks /dev/sda1 (NTFS) for errors, and expects to check an ext2 filesystem. Obviously, however, /dev/sda1 is an NTFS filesystem.
Since it tries to read the NTFS partition as an ext2 filesystem, it panics. Arch Linux then prompts me for the root password (or Ctrl+D to reboot), but I've disabled root login and can therefore do nothing at this point.
I have a GParted livecd and the Arch Linux livecd, so editing files on any of the filesystem isn't a problem at all, but I don't know what to do at this point. Help?

Installing and running Arch linux on the new MacBook 2015

So Apple has just started taking orders for the new 2015 MacBook. You know --
the thinnest and lightest MacBook to date (even thinner than the MacBook Air),
with a 12 inch retina display, the Intel Core M processor, a single USB-C port,
and the new force touch trackpad.
I'm pretty sure there are a few people like me who'd like to buy this new
MacBook and then install and run Arch (or some other flavor of linux) on it.
But of course, this MacBook is in many ways very dissimilar to previous MacBook
Pros and MacBook Airs. So this thread is a shout out to likeminded individuals
who are willing to brave the odds and install Linux on this new machine, so we
can help each other figure out (and hopefully fix) the inevitable issues that
will arise when we venture into this uncharted territory!
I have a little bit of experience installing and running Arch on MacBook Pros
and other Apple computers, but I'm (very) far from being an expert. But based
on my limited experience, I think the following areas will pose the biggest
challenges to getting Linux properly up and running on the new MacBook:
1. Installation: it's possible that booting a live USB will fail. So we might
have to use a CD. Indeed, perhaps we may even have to build a special ISO
image for this laptop. And once the install is complete, EFI/EFISTUB booting
with/without refit/refind may or may not work. Also, installing a bootloader
(grub, gummiboot, etc.) for dual booting Mac OS X and Linux may be a
challenge. We might have to endure kernel panics and deal with cryptic error
messages while booting.
2. Wifi may or may not work reliably. We might have to do some tinkering with
different drivers, etc.
3. Battery life may not be very good. We might have to fix a few things here.
4. The HiDPI retina display may or may not work properly with specific window
managers/desktop environments. Fonts/icons might be too tiny, may not scale,
etc.
5. The new Force touch trackpad may not work out of the box. In fact, I'm
fairly sure the regular xf86-input-synaptics package won't play nice with
this trackpad. There may not be support for features like the trackpad's
haptic feedback, multi-finger gestures, pressure sensitivity, etc. Indeed,
this might actually take a while to get properly working under Linux.
6. I don't know if the new USB-C port will work out of the box. It may not
play nice with USB flash drives and other peripherals and there may be
issues with ehci/uhci/whatever.
I tried Googling around trying to learn as much as I could about the issues
above, but since the laptop is going on sale only today and most users are
probably not interested in running Linux on it, I came up quite empty. I think
many others on this forum might also have faced the same issue.
So here's an open invitation. Let's share our experiences trying to get linux
working on this laptop. If you buy this laptop and try to install Arch on
it, please let us know how it went! Even if some things work out of the box, it
might be useful for others to know, so please share.
And of course, if you have more information/gotchas: for example, if you
encountered and managed to fix one or more of the issues above, or you
encountered a problem that's not on the list above, or even if you tried
something and it didn't work out as expected, please post below. I'm sure this
will be a very big help to others trying to solve similar issues on the same
hardware. Thanks!

It would probably be beneficial to post the output of lsusb -vvvv and dmesg.
FS1RTG77 wrote:
2. Broadcom BCM4360 AirPort Extreme, not supported.
5. The new Force touch trackpad and keyboard, both SPI bus devices, do not work.
On 2, it may just be a case of needing firmware, my laptop has a BCM43602 card, and the firmware required has only just been added to the linux-firmware package. Prior to that I had to install it manually.
On 5, I'm wondering if you identified them as SPI devices by looking in OS X, I ask because my laptop categorises my keyboard and trackpad in the same way. But they are actually still both connected to the USB bus, and presumably using SPI as an interconnect between the keyboard/trackpad and the microcontroller that tie them together.

Make bootable arch linux iso of installed system

I have installed Arch Linux in virtual box, with "Awesome" window manager and only required applications with it.
I want to make a bootable iso of this system, which i can carry around with me in pendrive and install in other system.Also, can i make a live usb from it?
Is it possible? If so, please specify the detailed steps. I am a newbie and have been using linux for 2-3 months only. Or, please give the link for the same.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply ewaller.

In above case, i would only be able to transfer between the virtual machine and that will be restricting.
I did some research and found following thread which is similar to my problem,
http://askubuntu.com/questions/119718/h … d-remaster
but one of the two solution provided here only works on ubuntu(i.e relinux),which was suitable to me and the other one,ie clonezilla to make iso, i haven't tried, but it doesn't do what i want.
Relink does exactly what i want but doesn't work on arch linux.It is a fork of remastersys which is dicontinued and only worked for ubuntu and its related.
I also found this http://null-byte.wonderhowto.com/how-to … o-0131002/
but haven't tried it yet.Also it require to redo all the steps that i have currently done, so i want an alternative.
I also found a simple way, but it is essentially just backuping and restoring and require base install.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=44805
Atlast, i got this http://systeminstaller.sourceforge.net/
but there is no description if it will work with arch linux or not.
I want something like above mentioned and i have no further ideas and searched everywhere, if anyone has any ideas, please suggest something.
Thanks in advance.

How to setup grub2 with arch linux and xen, lvm on luks

OK, so I tried downloading this package from AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xen-git/ , but that has patching problems as noted in the comments. It looks like the packagebuild sets up all the xen stuff for you, but I can't seem to get the package to install because of the error's while patching. If anyone can point me in the right direction on what all the extra files in the PKGBUILD are for or how to debug problems with PKGBUILDs not working because of patches.
So next I just tried to compile the latest xen from git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git (with ./configure, make, make install) and that seemed to go fine, but I'm a bit confused:
1. Do I have to do any additional configuration for xen when working with arch linux? On ubuntu I could just compile the source, update grub, and make sure to start the x services at runtime.
2. How do I set up grub to load xen with this setup? Right now this is my /boot/grub/grub.cfg:
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Arch"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"

# Uncomment to allow the kernel use the same resolution used by grub
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
# Uncomment if you want GRUB to pass to the Linux kernel the old parameter
# format "root=/dev/xxx" instead of "root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxx"
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=true
# Uncomment and set to the desired menu colors. Used by normal and wallpaper
# modes only. Entries specified as foreground/background.
#GRUB_COLOR_NORMAL="light-blue/black"
#GRUB_COLOR_HIGHLIGHT="light-cyan/blue"
# Uncomment one of them for the gfx desired, a image background or a gfxtheme
#GRUB_BACKGROUND="/path/to/wallpaper"
#GRUB_THEME="/path/to/gfxtheme"
# Uncomment to get a beep at GRUB start
#GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"
#GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT="true"

I've tried throwing in a line like: XEN_HYPERVISOR_CMDLINE="cryptdevice=/dev/sda3:vgStorage", but nothing new shows up on the grub boot menu.
First time trying to set up a non-ubuntu system, please help!

As for XEN.... well you could always try QEMU/KVM or LXC.
As for the LVM2-on-LUKS/dm-crypt
My /etc/mkinitcpio.conf looks like this...
MODULES="aesni_intel ata_generic ata_piix nls_cp437 ext4 intel_agp i915 dm-snapshot"

/etc/defaults/grub

GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES="part_gpt part_msdos"
GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT=console
GRUB_GFXMODE=auto
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=true
The running grub config looks like this

99 initrd /initramfs-linux-grsec.img
100 }
Things to note:
Numerical UUID is the UUID of the ROOT partition.
Alphabetical UUIS is the BOOT partition
hd1,msdos2 AND ahci1,msdos2 are how the Grub Bootloader numbers the drives not Linux.
I have my BOOT partition on a USB stick, and it is the Second partition.
So, that would make it, Device 2 and Partition 2
Device numbering starts at 0
Partition numbering starts at 1
Oh, and note that you don't need ":allow-discards" ... at all but certainly if you don't have an SSD. Also note that I included the line numbers so it is very clear that I didn't post the whole thing, but instead what I thought was relevant. Finally, I am loading modules that I don't even need, but what the hell... if it ain't broke, don't fix it

How to find version and arch of Oracle client installed

Hi all
I have sles 10 sp2 x86_64 on which oracle client 10.2 is installed. this installation was not done by me!
so i dont know what version/architecture (32/64 bit) mode of the oracle client is installed on the client.
from sqlplus -V i get only the version which is installed and not whether it is 32 or 64 bit. how can i find that out.
sqlplus -V
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
with a bit of googling i found only the below link which says 10g client 32-bit cannot be installed on a 64 bit system.
i read this Installing 32-bit RDBMS Client software on x86_64 Linux. [ID 1075717.1]
Installing 32-bit RDBMS Client software on x86_64 Linux.
The only release of 32-bit RDBMS Client software that will properly install on an x86_64 Linux OS system is 11gR2 (aka 11.2.0.x)
    * 9iR2 (aka 9.2.0.x) 32-bit RDBMS Client software will NOT install on any x86_64 Linux OS system.
    * 10gR1 (aka 10.1.0.x) 32-bit RDBMS Client software will NOT install on any x86_64 Linux OS system.
    * 10gR2 (aka 10.2.0.x) 32-bit RDBMS Client software will NOT install on any x86_64 Linux OS system.
    * 11gR1 (aka 11.1.0.x) 32-bit RDBMS Client software will NOT install on any x86_64 Linux OS system.
The answer to "why", is that the 11gR2 Client software is the first version that includes syntax so that a 32-bit object is linked.can someone please throw more light on this?

If you have "64bit" string in V$VERSION it means Oracle 64bit is running.
