I can boot into Arch, but not DM or DE [solved]

I just recently installed Arch in VirtualBox. Arch is running on 1GB of RAM (changed from 512MB) and 8GB of storage with dynamic size enabled. I set the specs low as I want this to be portable and load on almost any machine. When it boots up I can access command line, but not DM or DE. If I set it to automatically boot into a DM or DE, it hangs (black screen). I have tried different DMs (GDM, KDM, SDDM) and DEs (Gnome, KDE, Plasma), but I get the same problem. During the boot process I get intel_rapl: no valid rapl domains in package 0 and SMBus base address uninitialized. While researching though, these problems don't appear to be linked to mine. Any advice would be helpful, thanks.

Why did you chmod it?  This is not in the instructions.

What does this mean?  Is this some translation or interpretation of an error message?  Post the *actual* output.

XDM is also not part of the instructions for testing TWM.  If you start doing random other steps, we will not be able to help you as we will not understand what state your machine is in.

Please post the *full* output.  The server terminated successfully suggests a problem with your xinitrc, so as ewaller requested, we'll need to see that - after you provided the actual output and error messages you are getting.

  • MAX shows PXI card when booted into Windows but not in Hypervisor mode

    Hello again all you helpful forum-goers!
    I'm having some difficulties with a Hypervisor system seeing the two Pickering 6 channel programmable resistor cards that are loaded into the PXI chassis.  When I boot into Windows mode, MAX sees them under the My System just fine.  When I then run the Hypervisor configuration software, I see them both listed, and have them assigned to the Real-Time OS.  However, when I then boot into Hypervisor mode, MAX does not see them under the Remote Systems -> Hypervisor Target -> Chassis (or anywhere else), and the drivers report not seeing any modules either when I debug my code running on the real-time system.
    Does anyone have any idea what setting or configuration I might have incorrect?  Is there any other information I can provide that would be relevant or useful to answer this question?  I'm not the main hardware guy, he just got married and so isn't available, so I'm out of my comfort zone.  ;-)  I write the software that runs on the system, though, so I'm not completely clueless.  I know we just replaced the controller in the main chassis with a faster one (unfortunately I don't have the number on hand, the simulator is down in the lab), but I also know we are using that same controller and Pickering card on a different simulator and it is working just fine.
    Any ideas?  I very much appreciate your time!
    -Joe
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Nevermind, the answer turned out to be that I did not have the drivers fully installed on the real-time system.  Apparently that caused it to not recognize the cards.  I never did figure out / remember exactly how to install the Pickering drivers on the real-time side, but fortunately I was able to just copy all the files that had "Pickering" in their name from the C:\ni-rt\system folder of the real-time file directory from another simulator to this one.  ;-)
    Cheers!

  • Can boot in windows but not imac

    I can start my imac by pressing down the option button on startup, but I can only get on windows partition.  When I try to start up in mac, I get the grey screen with the apple logo.  I have tried everything.  Is there a way to fix the problem with the start up/boot up on the windows side?

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.   
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
         a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 3
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
    If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Step 4
    Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 5.
    If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 5
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
    This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
    Step 6
    Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 7
    Repeat Step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 8
    This step applies only to older Macs (not current models) that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery. Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a boot failure. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
    Step 9
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. If you can't get to an Apple Store, go to another authorized service provider.

    Spent at least 40 min talking to apple support, to sort it out. luckly not at my cost. After trying lots of things and speaking to a higher grade support person I was given a temp password which did the trick. I then was able to reset that with my own password. 
    The impression i got was no one knowns  what the problem is and resetting the password at the apple end works. Not sure if you would be able to self fix.

  • [Solved] Can't boot into Arch after deleting some partitons

    About 6 months ago I installed Arch on a machine that used to run Ubuntu. Had some trouble at the time getting to boot into Arch but somehow managed. Now eventually decided to delete the old Ubuntu partitons to free up some space using gparted. Arch partition number changed from sda12 to sda6.
    On rebooting after deleting ubuntu partitions with gparted, I got an ubuntu splash screen and a whole lot of ubuntu boot options. Somehow these were all contained in my Arch's /boot/grub/menu.lst. Arch is all on one partition and no separate boot partition (which I had with Ubuntu - maybe I haven't deleted that and this is the problem?). Will need to check that out.
    I can chroot into Arch and did the following -
    grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
    (hd0,5)
    grub> root (hd0,5)
    Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
    grub> setup (hd0)
    Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes
    Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes
    Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes
    Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 16 sectors are embedded.
    succeeded
    Running "install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+16 p (hd0,5)/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/menu.lst"... succeed

    I need to post this now and come back from a different machine to note the error messages I am now getting on boot. ...
    Note that when I boot and press esc to get the menu I get the menu.lst I created (in the second quote) above in /dev/sda6, ie the one with the Arch hd and uuid entries - so grub is looking there and finding that menu.lst, but something goes wrong after that.
    OK. Have now booted the machine and after pressing esc and selecting the uuid entry (the same thing happens with the hd entry) I get a whole lot of stuff, but what seems relevant is (typing it out) -
    List of all partitions:
    No filesystem could mount root, tried:
    Kernel panic - not syncing: VS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
    Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.39-Arch #1
    If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it. This is my MythTV machine so the WAF is about to take a big dive!
    If I could just install grub to the MBR as if this was a new installation of Arch that would be great.
    I am really lost as to what is going on, which I'm sure is evident.
    Thanks a lot

    Hi. Unfortunately that didn't help.
    So next, based on this post https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … el_version I chrooted into Arch and (a) rolled back and (b) reinstalled my kernel but that didn't help either. I suspected it wouldn't because the kernel was working fine before I deleted the partitions in question.

    I then did a pacman -Suy and the linux package has now replaced kernel26. ( See this wiki entry http://www.archlinux.org/news/changes-t … filenames/). I didn't change anything in menu.lst owing to this and it seems there is no need to. Unfortunately this hasn't helped either - still getting the kernel panic.

    I don't think I've mentioned that my old menu.lst seems to have disappeared and so must have been on one of the partitions that were deleted. I did have 2 Arch installations when I was setting things up months ago and that menu.lst may have been on the other partition but pointing to this partiton's kernel for booting. Presumably that's possible since this partiton is definitely the one I have been using for the last several months (confirmed by log and other files updated in the last few days etc). Even so, I suppose that probably wouldn't be relevant to this issue, since grub is finding the menu.lst on this partition when it boots so it is looking in the intended place now.
    It seems I'm at a bit of a dead end. It seems these kernel panics are usually because there is something wrong with the kernel - which there wasn't with mine (and presumably the kernel in the new linux package is fine) or there is a typo in menu.lst (I can't see one and nobody has pointed one out yet) or menu.lst is pointing to the wrong partition (mine is pointing to the same partition and /boot directory that is found by grub - which is where my boot image is located - so it seems to be correct). I have nevertheless tried editing the menu.lst entry when booting to boot from different partitions but so far that hasn't worked either.
    If anybody has other ideas I'd really appreciate it.
    If not, some suggestions on re-installing would also be appreciated. I have a recent tar archive of the partition, but presumably reinstalling that wouldn't be of much use since it would just put back what is currently there. I guess that I need to format the partition, create a separate boot partition, do a fresh install of Arch into the formatted partition (and with boot in the new boot partition). And then restore my tar backup (excluding the boot directory) into the formatted partition?
    Any assistance greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • IMac running 10.6... I can boot into XP no problem, but Mac partition and Boot CD/DVDs will not go

    Have an iMac running 10.6... I can boot into XP no problem, but although the mac partition shows up at (alt key) startup, it just spins for about 5 minutes then restarts. Also, it will not boot from any bootable CD/DVD at all (same spin cycle occurs). Tried about every trick I could research. No warning at all regarding this. Everything was going just peachy then pow... out of nowhere she won't boot. Any ideas

    I sugggest you backup the windows xp and start from scratch. This means your disks partition is MBR and not GUID so the mac partitions cant effectively communicate with the EFI partition (bios) and boot.
    So boot up using ur mac DVD.
    Choose ur language
    at the top of the screen, go to tools and open disk utility
    highlight your hard drive and hit the partition tab. select 1 partition and make sure its set to format it as GUID and mac HFS+ file system
    Reinstall mac os x do all ur updates
    use boot camp utility to make a new windows xp partition and installation.
    then to select between os's hold down option during startup

  • [SOLVED]Ubuntu 11.10 broke grub2, can't boot into arch

    Hi, I'm having a little issue with grub2 at the moment, I have Arch installed on seperate /home / and /boot partitions, I installed Ubuntu using the "alongside" option in the installer which has added an option to boot into Arch on the grub bootup screen. However when I boot up into arch I get the follow message:
    Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/hda3
    [ numbers] usb 1=-4.2: device descriptor read/all, error -3
    ERROR: Unable to find root device '/dev/hda3' .
    You are being dropped to a recovery shell
    Then I am promptly dropped into a recovery shell.
    My root device should be at /dev/sda5, not quite sure what's happened there.
    Any ideas on how to get this fixed? I think ubuntu has /boot on it's own parition, along with the rest of /.

    My guess is they don't care. Most likely they're illiterate and don't know what a colon is for. They probably think it's a little-used character. Remember: these are the people who don't know the difference between "deprecate" and "depreciate".
    I have the same colon problem as you do. But it's not the biggest problem I have encountered in Lion. If it was only that I'd be Mr. Delighted with Lion. There's worse than having a colon - uh -  that won't cooperate. A lot worse, in Lion.

  • [SOLVED] Grub won't boot into Arch...

    So, this all started when I got this wacky idea of trying Debian on a separate drive.
    Installs great, boots up and get a blank screen with blinky cursor..not in the mood to mess with it since I can't find
    a reasonable answer for what is wrong with it sooo I boot back into Arch but now I get Error device not found with a "Grub Rescue>" prompt.
    Not sure what to do now. I installed grub to the drive I was installing Debian on but it seemed to screw with my precious Arch too
    I looked around the forums for help but couldn't find anything.
    Also, it goes from post directly to the Grub Rescue prompt

  • Screen 'flicker'/artifacts after boot into arch

    i experience some sort of flickering/artifacts (dunno how to call it, it's like pixels flying across the screen) after i boot into arch. even when i'm (still) in a tty with no x session running. (before booting into arch, while in the grub menu, it's ok)
    it looks pretty much like this.
    my gpu is an ati radeon hd4570, i have the free radeon driver (xf86-video-ati) installed.
    not sure whether it can be a driver issue though, because it happens even when i'm not in a graphical session?
    unfortunately i don't know what to do or what to look at to fix this. investigating this issue i'm led to believe it could have something to do with grub or kernel settings or sth, but i have 0 experience with configuring either.
    i'm dualbooting with ubuntu 14.04 btw, which also runs the radeon driver, and i don't have the problem there.
    i'd appreciate any sort of help!
    (this is my first time posting here, i apologize if i ignored any forum etiquette)

    For Radeon you should use xf86-video-ati, not xf86-video-intel.

  • Client boots into WinPE but then it will fail and reboot after the step: "Preparing network connections"

    I  have a new issue with all DPs.
    When I pxe boot, it will boot into WinPE but then it will fail and reboot after the step: “Preparing network connections”
    I have tried reinstalling the DP and MP. Also redistributing the boot image.
    When I press F8 to go into debug mode, ipconfig show me an IP address and I am able to ping my Management point, my DHCP server and also my Distribution point.
    I have attached the smsts.log file.

    Every time a query is sent to the MP, it receives 0x80072ee2 which translates to "The operation timed out". This has nothing to do with your MP or DP though so reinstalling them won't make any difference.
    This error is indicative of network issues -- basically, the "client" is not getting a response back in a timely manner (and probably not at all). Assuming the MP is healthy though, then only other piece of the puzzle is the network.
    You can try setting the SMSTSAssignmentsDownloadRetry and SMSTSAssignmentsDownloadInterval task sequence variables in the boot image to increase the client's tolerance for latency or other weirdness in the network. This has worked for many.
    If that doesn't work, you'll have to break out a sniffer and watch the traffic to see what's going on at a network level.

  • My movies and music videos won't show up on screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this?

    My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

    Hi @anthony7722 ,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
    I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control.  You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
    When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
    Here are two links that I believe will help.
    Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
    Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
    Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
    Please try this process.
    1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them  but do not install them yet
    2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
    3. restart your notebook
    4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
    5. restart your notebook
    6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver. 
    You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
    This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
    I hope this helped.

  • Bonjour - Mac A can see Mac B but not vice versa

    Hi
    Very odd behaviour with Bonjour. Up until yesterday, my macbook pro (call it A) would see my mac pro (B) - it would appear automatically in A's sidebar, I could listen to B's iTunes library on A and so on. No problem and there hasn't been for a couple of years. B could not see A - but I didn't really need it to and this wasn't an issue.
    Suddenly, this morning, the situation is completely reversed. A can no longer see B at all, but B can see A.
    I can connect both ways by using 'Connect', I can ping both ways, but I can't get A to discover B using Bonjour.
    The only think I've done that I can think can have caused the changes is to use Omnifocus sync (with B holding the sync server) - it worked fine all day, but overnight Bonjour seems to have reversed itself as described above.
    Bonjour Browser shows me that B can see A, but A can't see B. I have identical settings on both machines for sharing, network, firewall (all everything).
    Bizarrely, for one two minute period a couple of hours ago, the situation reversed itself (A could see B but not vice versa), but then immediately went back to B can see A, but not vice versa.
    Both computers are running the same version of Leopard (10.5.7). I've reinstalled the OS on B, just to see, but this hasn't improved matters.
    I can find nothing on google or this discussions forum to explain this bizarre behaviour - most support threads seem to peter out without being resolved. Has anyone any idea what's going on please? I'm quite happy getting stuck into the command line, if that's needed.
    Many thanks
    David

    The Macbook Pro is connected wirelessly to the router, the Mac Pro connects to the same router by ethernet.
    As far as I'm aware, I'd made no changes to any of the setups (computers or router) before the problem occurred: bonjour worked fine, but in one direction only (the MBP could see the Mac Pro, but not vice versa). Now, the Mac Pro can see the MBP, but not vice versa - and this is a problem because my printer and itunes server both sit on the Mac Pro.
    I've set all the firewall and security settings I could find to transparent access - and (except for the obvious difference between the wired and wireless links), the setups are identical on both computers.
    By the way, I can connect to the Mac Pro easily enough and transfer files, I just can't see it via bonjour or use Screen Sharing (again the settings haven't changed since they were working!)
    Many thanks
