[RESOVLED] bootstrap login: What do I need to do next?

Hello, ok so I installed Arch Linux via Ubuntu live cd on my Macbook pro 3,1. I managed to login to the linux bootstrap, but I am honestly lost now.
My boot partiton is on /dev/sda4 my root is on /dev/sda5 and home is on /dev/sda6. I did not create a swap since I have enough memory. Now can someone please point me in the right direction? My ultimate goal is to setup openbox. Ive done this before on a virtual machine but this is my first time dual booting on my mac.

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean that you successfully installed Arch and logged in as root, and you're looking at the root prompt wondering what to do next?
If that's what you mean, just continue to follow the Beginners' Guide; here is the post-installation section: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … stallation
Eventually (after some configuration, adding a user, and other stiff) you'll get to Installing X and Choose and Install a Graphical Interface. This is where you'll install Openbox.
Just follow the guide. If you have specific questions, ask.
Thank you for the reply.Yes I believe so Im not to familiar with the bootstrap login tho. When I attempt to sync pacman I get the folowing errors,
error: failed to update core (unable to lock database)
error: failed to update extra (unable to lock database)
error: failed to update community (unable to lock database)
error: failed to synchronize any databases
error:failed to init transaction (unable to lock databases)
error: could not lock database: Read-only file system
Also: when I try to add a user within (root@bootstrap) I get the follow error as well:
useradd: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later
any thoughts???
reply to your edit: Yes I did install it on a VM, but I do not recognize this prompt "bootstrap login:" I followed a video for that installation. On this one I have been following the wiki and others posts.

You only complied with half of the requirements for the trade-in promotion. You did order your iphone6 before 10/15, but you did not complete the online appraisal before 10/15, when the tradein promotion ended.
Stores seem to only be accepting the trade-ins when you purchase your phone from them.

I own an IMAC G5. It is running very slow. Did hardware test and it came up with error code 2STF/8/3:S-ATABUSO-Master. What do I need to do next? Thanks in Advance. Stuart

Also how do i run disk first aid on the computer off of the install disks? Which disk do i do it from. Thanks in advance. Stuart

Sounds like your hard drive it about to die.
I would backup ASAP.
To run First Aid on your disk, you need to boot from the install DVD for your Mac.
After selecting the language, open Disk Utiltity and repair the disk.
If it reports errors that DU is unable to repair, report them here and we will provide additional help.

It won't finish down loading an Itunes extra I paid for. Error 12001 keeps showing up and I checked the connection and it's fine. What do I need to try next

Purchased the movie Lincoln from Itunes. The movie came through but the Itunes extra stopped downloading. error message 12001 shows up again and again even after checking theconnection which is fine. Any suggestions so it will finish the download?

Even though you're getting a different error message number, try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

HT203433 I downloaded apps with one appleid on my iphone. When my account was disabled I set up a new appleid & account. Now I cannot update apps on my iphone that were downloaded with original appleid when I login with my new apple id. What do I need

I downloaded apps with one appleid on my iphone. When my account was disabled I set up a new appleid & account. Now I cannot update apps on my iphone that were downloaded with original appleid when I login with my new apple id. What do I need to do?

You can write into support and ask for help reenabling the account through this link here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
Since the applications were purchased on the older account, you will need to log into that account to update them. The newer account will not recognize the purchases because they are not a part of the purchase history for the specific account.

TS3988 It says it can't find the server when I try to login. What am I doing wrong or what do I need to do to fix it?

What do I need to do when it says ther server can not be found when I try to login on my PC?

It doesn't appear to be a valid domain.
'''.mx''' on its own would make it a second level domain, that is is to say, the organization which registered the domain.
Your site will likely be a third level domain which means there has to be a prefix before the '''.mx'''. What that should be will depend on the registrar. For example, it could be '''www.ssmithx10.com.mx'''
You need to contact the company where your site is registered to find out what that is.
Here's a list just in case you haven't registered it all: http://www.registry.mx/jsf/rar_list/search/search.jsf

What permission is needed for a login to access the restored database(backup from different server)

what permission is needed for a login to access the restored database(backup from different server)
frequently reach the situation, when vendor restores a database, but he cannot access it unless I remap or add his login to the restored database. What permssion can grant the vendor so that he can but only can access the database he restored, not all other
databases.

Hi George,
According to your description, When you move a database from one server that is running SQL Server to another server that is running SQL Server, a mismatch may occur between the security identification numbers (SIDs) of the logins in the master database
and the users in the user database. As other post, you can use the sp_change_users_login stored procedure to map SQL Server logins. Also , you can use the following statement after doing the restore database. It will
fix the mis-mapped SID inside the restored DB.
ALTER USER <username> WITH LOGIN = <username>
For more information, you can review the following article.

Kichat: FAQ 1 - What do I need to start in iChat ? (Replacement)

Original
kichat: FAQ 1 - What do I need to start in iChat ?
Answers to very basic questions of getting started in iChat AV 2.1. (Edit 5/5/05) It mostly goes for iChat 3 as well.
Redrafted 30/03/2007
Glossary
Audio is sound only chats (called Talk on AIM )
Video is Sound and Pictures (where cameras and microphones allow)
account name is synomonous (the same as) with screen name
Basic Facts
iChat AV 2.0 did come with Panther and at this point is free. (Upgrade to 2.1)
iChat 3 comes with Tiger and supports Multiple person chats
You can chat to AIM based services as long as one of you has a camera. (Currently audio only chats are not possible). Windows users have to running one of the XP incarnations and AIM 5.5 at least to Video.
What you Need
OS 10.3.x for iChat AV 2.1
iChat ver 2.0 or 2.1 (Now Panther only)
OS 10.4.x for iChat 3.x
DV input device (camera or DV converter for analogue cameras) See also Exceptions further down.
Free Firewire port (not daisy chained)
An AIM (AOL & Netscape count) or @mac.com account/screen name. (Stick to passwords of 16 characters or less without Special Characters).
How to make Exceptions Work
Slow Mac or USB cam prior 10.4.9 or non USB Video class cam
1) Slow (G3/500 and less) computers and those with USB cams need this utility
iChatUSBCam which enables slower machines to connect and enables USB cameras to be seen by iChat. (lower limit 350Mghz)
2) Analogue cameras can be made to work with a converter like this one.

<blockquote style="width: 80%; margin: auto; padding: 5px; border: 1px solid #000; background: #efefef;">10.4.9 now allows for USB cams of the USB Video Class (UVC). Other will still need the iChatUSBCam utility
If your Exception seems to be Networking or Router based read this FAQ
Essential Reading
Although you don't need an understanding of Firewalls or Network Translation on Routers some backgound reading can help.
This link Apple Doc number 93208 can help with basic settings in the Mac's Firewall and the Router's settings.
Note 1 should read:
1. All iChat AV traffic is UDP except for ports 5190 and 5298, which need to be open for both TCP and UDP; and 5220, 5222, which need to be open for TCP only.
The page contains a link to a list of Routers that will work "Out-of-the-Box".
If your's does not appear, pay attention to Note 4, near the bottom, because you are going to have to search for more info about your router (or do that un-Mac thing and read the manual).
I found this ADSL GUIDE site useful for getting extra info by users of routers on DSL.
This site has an Apple Related Area in the Technical section which I have linked you to. It is searchable.
PortForward.com Has pics and instructions for many modems and routers for the Port Forward method of opening ports.
How to Start
After getting your account name, start iChat.
It will lead you through a assistant. Ryan's Pics and instructions on this bit
If you launched it before and are starting again make sure iChat is off line.
Go to Preferences in the iChat Menu item. Open the Acounts icon.
Select the type of account it is.
Type in your name (without the @mac .com suffix) and use tab key to enter password.
Server Options button (Server Settings tab in iChat 3.x) should be live at this point. Check that it reads login.oscar.aol.com and the port is 5190.
Close Server Options and hit enter.
iChat should now log on.
In iChat 3.x there is a check box in the accounts Information tab that says "Use this Account" to be checked to activate it.
Buddies
You now have to enter Buddies into the Buddies list
Use the "+" button at the bottom of the Buddy list window.
Add New Person or from your address book if you have recorded Buddies account names there.
The first account names you should add are the test accounts shown In Contact Testers or the FAQ here.

What do i need to do when i get a startup disk full error?

What do i need to do when i get a startup disk full error? I can't update software or use my MacAir at all.

Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as "Backups." The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

If you get a network timeout error, then disabling the computer's security software duirng the download and update usually resovles that error.
If that is not the error what is the wording of the error message.
Note that only a 3G or 4G iPod can go to iOS 5. A 2G iPod can only go to iOS 4.2.1

Hi,
The DNS server needs an external one listed.
You should be able to access your router and it in turn should show you the ones it can "see" at the ISP end.
You can either list these or add Public ones
Some IP address are reserved for LAN networks.
These include IP starting 192.168.x.x which means you would have to have DNS database on the device that is at the 192 address.
This can mean you computer cannot resolve where the server it needs is.
The most a local device might be doing is listing the local devices and their IPs
Mac User Login.
In System Preferences > User and Groups you will see a list of all the accounts created on your Mac.
This may only be one or you may have other people you have set up accounts for.
Some people Enable the Guest account and use that for testing.
AS you can see from the pic I created and Account called "Test Account".
I Log out of "Ralph" and into the test one to actually different things now and then.
I and suggesting you create an account if you have not already done so and use the same Apple ID to set up Messages there.
This stores it's own set of .plists and the Keychain item needed.
If the app works here then it will be something within the .plists or Keychain for your normal login (mac User account) or the app will not work there either in which case a Restore of some kind will be the best option.
