I started installing Arch around 8pm tonight and it's freaken 7am!

I started installing Arch around 8pm last night and it's almost 7am now and I still don't have a working system. My xorg.conf file is screwed up, my screen resolution is in the freaken 500x300's, no sound, my wifi don't work. Nothing works. I've read through every wiki out there and they're no help to me. Can someone please help me get this solved? I'm thinking I should just give up and leave it alone as I'm at my witends with this.

I can not post my xorg file here as I'm on another computer because I can't get it working right. I don't even have a clue what I did to even get to where I am. I really need someone in my area to meet up and help me, I SUCK at online wikis and stuff.
I'm going to go to sleep and start completely over tomorrow. I know I can get through the partitioning and all, but after that I'm f***ing lost.

Install Arch Linux with UEFI and GPT

Hi, I purchased a new laptop and I created a partition with Windows 8 (default OS on laptop) and another partition where I want to install Arch Linux.
When I tried to install Arch Linux not boot from CD. After searching in Google I downloaded the latest Arch Linux ISO (2012-12-01) and tried again.
This time CD started without problems but when I used cfdisk showed an error with GPT partition. I went back to search in Google and I read about gdisk and gfdisk and I try it but when I partitioning to install Arch Linux partition show that may cause damage. I searched and searched without success and I wonder if there is a Arch Linux GPT install guide or if someone knows how to install Arch Linux with GPT and a Windows 8 partition in UEFI.
Thanks and regards.

Hi again, finally I got "install" Arch Linux but when I reboot the follow message appears:
"No Booteable Device, Hit any key."
I don't know if I broke Windows Boot Manager, UEFI or both...
I tried to reinstall GRUB but was unsuccessful.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks and regards.

Hi installed Arch i686 with Nouveau and drivers. now dead end

went to post a long typed output from Arch terminal, no desktop, I had changed my password when I went to post it decided I was not logged in and lost the lot.
Just a short note now.
xorg.conf.d which nano refuses to look at and pmagic file manager shows nothing about the nvidia nv vesa and fbdev modules that are demanded by xorg as shown by the log.
There were also error commands in xinitrc, named twm, xterm were not found.
I also installed kde which has its own window maker.
I wonder where to go with Arch from this seemingly dead end.
Sorry for the sparse post, too tired to type it all out again from Arch terminal.
Regards
Zoroid

Thanks Mr.Elendig and the others,
got kde up and running now, took a bit of time the first time, and twm and xterm helped.
I was too tired to type out the whole log again last night, so sorry for the kiss post, even so it put me on the right path.
The card was an Nvidia G Force GT 240, and its going fine with Nouveau in an Intel core duo Gigabyte MB 4 gig dd3 ram
Mr.Elendig wrote:1. what hardware do you have?
2. read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg
3. you are getting the errors about xinitrc because you did not install twm and xterm etc, see 2.

[SOLVED] Install arch on a partition and still access files on other

Basicaly what i want to achieve is to have a dual boot system on my laptop where i can access the files in some sort of shared storage or just to be able to access my windows files when im booted up in arch is there a way to achieve this?
Last edited by icyfox101 (2013-05-25 13:00:19)

Yes you can, you could have a partition for each OS, and then you could have a third partition for your shared files (I think it would have to be ntfs for the shared partition)
Or you could just mount the windows partition from arch.

Installing Arch but keeping another OS's grub menu

I installed Arch with the help of the beginners' guide on a 'spare' partition on my machine, which also have another 4 OSs installed. As I wanted one of the others' grub menu to be the 'active' one I skipped the grub installation part - in fear of messing up the grub menu, and hoping that the update-grub command (from within the 'active' OS) would pick Arch up.
This it didn't and I assume it is because I DIDN'T install grub in Arch (?) but could someone just tell me how I can safely do that but still keeping the other OS's grub as the main one.
At one point in the guide it says to install grub in /dev/sda; would I be safe if I installed it in /dev/sda10 (which is the Arch partition) instead?
Will I have to go through the whole installation process again? Or can I start Arch up (perhaps with the help of the CD?) and 'jump in' and carry on where I left off?

I dual boot Arch and Ubuntu. I did NOT install Grub from Arch Install. After installing Arch, I rebooted Ubuntu and updated GRUB. Then I changed the default OS to Arch from /etc/default/grub.
My rationale behind this was Ubuntu being a 6 monthly release compared to Rolling Arch, I had to install and reinstall ubuntu every 6 months and I didn't want any mishaps with Grub during this.
You probably forgot to update grub in the distro that is handling your Boots. If updating Grub does not show Arch then mount the Arch Partition and then update grub. [However the Grub version in Ubuntu 13.04 has fixed this and I don't have to mount Arch any more].
EDIT: By the way, not installing Grub means that Grub is not installed in the MBR. All the necessary files required to boot arch will be there in the Arch install.

Installing arch on my dad's computer, wireless only

So I finally convinced my dad to let me install Arch on his comp and wouldnt you know it, its giving me problems.
the main issue is that he is wireless only (linksys wireless-g with speedboost) and ive never played with wireless with linux. ive attempted to use bcm43xx but that doesnt work, i tried installing the driver via ndiswrapper but that doesnt work either. <--this is all within the install environment, i havent gotten past configuring the network
so with that issue unresolved as of now, i downloaded the core cd to see if i couldnt get the basic system up and then fix the wireless post-install, but it wont recognize the cd drive (HL-DT-ST GDR8161B)
any help?

It might have to do with grub not being able to find a stage 2, you do have a /boot partition added to the laptop's hdd, which is how it is done normally.
I'm not sure if grub can access usb drives that it hasn't booted from (to get /boot), then you gotta specify it when you install grub to the mbr with the boot partition mounted:
grub-install --root-directory=/boot sda
Now, if that doesn't work, you'd probably have to go with using / making a tiny (20MiB) boot partition (for a single kernel + initrd) somewhere on the laptop's disk (which will work for sure)

[Solved] Boot process hangs for installed Arch and installation usb

Hi. I've been using Arch Linux for around 6 months now and I'm in love with it. It is now my primary OS. However, I might have done something or performed some update, and I can no longer boot into Arch. The boot process hangs right before it should show the login screen (I'm using Gnome 3.6 with GDM). I see the following messages on the screen:
Loading Linux core repo kernel ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
/dev/sda3: recovering journal
/dev/sda3: clean, 330610/1749664 files, 5585671/6996827 blocks
And then it hangs right there. I have to hard-reboot after this.
I then tried to boot using the Arch Linux Installation USB (archlinux-2012.12.01-dual.img), which also hangs at a particular point, before it should show me the prompt. I took a picture of the screen where it hangs: Screen Capture. This is an issue with just my laptop, because the USB boots just fine on another laptop I tried.
I also have Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.10 installed on my system, and I'm able to boot into both of them.
I have 2 hard drives: /dev/sda is a 120GB SSD, and /dev/sdb is a 500GB hard disk. My partitions are as follows:
sda1 - Windows 7 100MB System Reserved Partition (boot flag enabled)
sda2 - Windows 7 OS
sda3 - ArchLinux (boot flag enabled)
sdb1 - Ubuntu 12.10 (boot flag enabled)
sdb2 - Just data
I ran bootinfoscript and below is the output:

I tried adding nomodeset and acpi=off to the boot parameters, but the boot process still hangs. Please let me know if I should provide any other information.

Ok.. So my Arch Linux randomly decided to work. I'm sure I didn't do anything between my last "not working" state and my current "working" state. Below are a few things I tried:
I thought of trying an earlier build of ArchLinux, and downloaded archlinux-2012.11.01-dual.iso and made a bootable USB out of it. It still hung.
I was getting error messages during Arch boot that the last access time for the disks was at a future date. I found out that Ubuntu was using localtime instead of UTC and screwing up my hardware clock. I fixed it, and thought maybe the time issues were causing the boot problem. But fixing time didn't solve my problem.
I chrooted into Arch from my Ubuntu install, ran 'sudo pacman -Syyu' and updated my Arch install.
I thought maybe GDM isn't starting up. I re-enabled the service using 'systemctl enable gdm.service'.
I removed OpenNTPd and installed NTPd. Enabled the daemon using 'systemctl enable ntpd'
None of the above solved the problem, and rebooting to Arch still hung the system. So I stopped fiddling with it yesterday. Today, as usual, I just tried logging into Arch.. And it just worked out of the blue. The solution to me is as mysterious as the problem.
I told this to my friend who introduced me to Arch, and this is what he said:
Damn it computers, you were supposed to be deterministic!

Libre office can not start in arch with lxde (clucene was installed)

installed Arch on Asus Eee Pc 900 (very old, cpu - 900 MHz, ram 1 G)
then installed lxde and libre office.
the problem is that Libre Office can not start and show the message with
a language I don't understand. It say that:
LibreOffice 4.0-Fatal Error
Die toepassing kan nie laat loop word nie.
'n interne fout het voorgekom.
so I google and read some post.
I fount that I may need clucene installed.
that's why, I installed clucene.
but problem is still exit.
any solution, please!

It doesn't fix the main problem, but read the note and install English langpack https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Li … stallation
The error message isn't very helpful, it says
The application can not run.
An internal error occurred.

MacBook Pro won't boot after trying to install 10.7.3 update. Start up stalls at Apple logo and spinning gear.

MacBook Pro won't boot after trying to install 10.7.3 update. Start up stalls at Apple logo and spinning gear. Computer won't even start in safe mode.

My daughter's MacBook Pro was doing exactly the same thing. I don't know if it had anything to do with the latest update. She called me about a week ago saying that her MacBook began running slower by the day . She then called me Friday and told me that it wouldn't get past the gray screen and the gear just kept on spinning. I did everything I could over the phone including Safe mode which it wouldn't go into and thought maybe it was the hard drive. She took it to the Apple store. Originally, they also thought it was the hard drive. It ended up being a corrupted operating system (Lion). Apple genius simply re-installed Lion and she's back up and running. Good thing she backed up right before it crapped out. She'll be restoring everything tonight. Don't know if re-installing Lion will help your situation, but it did the trick for my daughter.

Well, it seems waiting is not my strong suit..! I renamed a javascript file called recovery to sessionstore. This file was in the folder sessionstore-backups I had copied from mozilla 3 days ago, when my tabs were still in place. I replaced the sessionstore in mozilla's default folder with the renamed file and then started mozilla. And the tabs reappeared as they were 3 days ago!
So there goes the tab problem. But again when I started mozilla the window saying "a script has stopped responding" appeared, this time the script being: chrome//browser/contenttabbrowser.xml2542
If someone knows how to fix this and make firefox launch normally, please reply! Thank you

Installed arch linux on windows 8 laptop and with GNOME

Hi all,
I am trying to learn more about linux and decided to go the Arch Linux way. I've battled through a bunch of issues before I got to this point so I might have fudged something along the way.
The current issue is that I install GNOME, and it boots up into GNOME, and I select my username and type my password, and then I see black screen with blinking cursor for 10 seconds after which I am returned to GNOME login screen. It doesn't do a system reboot before going back to the login screen.
The only way to stop this is to put in my livecd arch-linux usb drive and then delete GNOME, after which arch linux will boot back into terminal. (I wish I knew how to do this without using the usb drive)
What should I look at for hints? I don't see any output when this loop happens.
Thanks!

Ok that works and I can log in. However I don't see any familiar drives mounted. Anyway, I have the output from journalctl. Here it is

I only posted a piece of it.
By the way, I got this file by using startX (becuase otherwise i didnt have permissions), used > to output it to a file, mounted a usb flash drive, copied it to flash drive, used a windows computer to copy the file to my ubuntu laptop (because the folder wouldn't show up in the ubuntu computer) and then posted it here. There has to be a better way to post a debug manage on here.

When installing Arch, the install packages error's and says 'could not

I am trying to install Arch on virtual box but when I try to run install packages (base+base-devel) it always throws 'installation failed'. When I look for the problem, it says 'could not satisfy depencies.'.
Prior to this, Arch had problems in downloading few packages from a mirror but it seems to have gotten every package when I tried several different mirrors.
Screenshot of the problem: http://i.imgur.com/7KWAk.png
I have checked the mirror status from here http://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/ and tried following mirrors:
ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/
ftp://mirror.archlinux.fi/archlinux/
ftp://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/archlinux/
http://mirror.academica.fi/archlinux/

Check the md5 of the image, and check your vbox settings, so that you have enough hdd and mem, and that the partitions are big enough and then install base(+base-devel if wanted) and don't enable any of the repos other than the local core repo, and this should work, as i've tested the images many times latelly...
Edit: I see from your screenshot that you're downgrading alot of packages e.g. kernel 3.1.5 to 3.0.3, and that must be because you've first tried installing from the net, and then when something failed, you've gone back and deselected net-install and choosed to install from local core repo, which would do that then, so my advice is simply to start over(reboot), or again remake your blockdevices, so there's insn't allready a bunch of packages with wrong versions installed...

Try the steps below and check if it helps.
Step 1:
Run the software setup file as an administrator and check if it helps.
a. Right click on the setup file of the software that you are trying to install.
b. Select “Run as administrator”.
Step 2:
Temporarily disable the antivirus software running on the computer and check if you are able to install the software.

Installed the update tonight and now my phone (Lumia 928) won't power up. I've tried a soft reset, but the screen goes from the Nokia logo to a red Verizon screen to a black screen. What's wrong and how do I fix it? Help!

Oh no Mr.Ected!
I can see if we can get your phone back on! I understand how important it is to have a phone. Have you tried this to see if we can get it back on? http://vz.to/1DZhteH . If it is still goes to a red Verizon screen and then to black we might need to do a master reset. While the phone is off try this:http://vz.to/1DZhXkU Be mindful this is the last resort because it will erase everything on the phone. If you have done back up assistant in the past you will be able to get you contacts back. Please let me know if you need any more help.

If you are using a Mac, simply hit Command-Spacebar to bring up Spotlight Search. Begin typing the name of the application and when you see what you are looking for, press enter. You should get a hit by the second or third letter you type. Great way to launch apps on computers that you are not familiar with.
Windows 7 and 8 should have something similar. I think you simply press the Windows key and begin typing. Press enter when you see a match.
Both Mac and Windows search tools can be customized to search for applications, files, emails and so forth. For Windows, look for Taskbar and Start Menu Properties. For Mac, go to Preferences Spotlight. Turn off items you know you won't need to speed up searches.
