[SOLVED] Arch Kernel causes problems

Since my very first time installing Arch, i was getting some errors like
Cannot parse block device ids for /dev/sdb2
Cannot find root device /dev/sdb2
and eventually i had found a work-around, by taking the kernel and initramfs files (both 2.6.25.20-114) from another Linux, and also the corresponding modules directory. (Works perfect, using Firefox on it at the moment.)
Now i want to upgrade my kernel eventually (don't have to actually, but i want to, and the problem should not happen anyway) and still, after retrieving the new kernel through pacman (creating the vmlinuz26 and kernel26.img files in /boot, as well as the modules directory) and using it, i get the SAME problem.
The Arch kernels just won't work for me...
Does anyone have an idea what it could be?
(And is there any way to copy the exact error-output i get while trying to boot?)
Thanks.

I quote a comment "Nopes. It makes the UVD errors go away, but the boot still gets stuck at the same point. Everything hangs up, requiring me to do a hard reboot."
The patch did not fix the bug. Honestly, the bug has been there since kernel 3.11.

[solved] arch kernel freezes, how can I replace it with lts

the kernel freezes on almost every boot; I'm referring to the kernel installed and downloaded when I used the net install to install arch
how do I install the lts kernel ? maybe the lts won't freeze...

[SOLVED] wxpython update cause problems for playonlinux

After a recent update, playonlinux seems to get stuck in an endless loop during startup. The output in terminal is this:

This just keeps repeating until I end the process with Ctrl-c
The specific update that cause this is:
wxgtk
wxpython
wxgtk2.8
The wxgtk2.8 package was newly installed as certain packages require this version. Just to make sure, I removed wxgtk2.8, and downgraded wxgtk and wxpython, then playonlinux works without issue. Upgrading the system again causes this issue to appear again.
Edit: wxgtk upgrades from version 2.8.12.1-5 -> 3.0.0-2, and wxpython upgrades from version 2.8.12.1-4 -> 3.0.0.0-1
I have narrowed down the problem. Downgrading only wxpython to version 2.8.12.1-4 solves the problem.
Last edited by Daerandin (2014-01-12 02:32:41)

I'm on wxpython 3.0.0-2 and I'm still getting this issue, both on wxgtk 2.8.12.1-5 and 3.0.0-2.
And it might help to know that playonlinux depends on the package "wxgtk2.8" rather than wxgtk (and also wxpython2.8), which I can't install without borking my system and don't want to anyway because I use wxMupen64Plus, so I installed every other dep and -Sdd'd it.
EDIT: Scratch that, my error is actually similar but not the same:
Looking for python... 3.3.3 - skipped
Looking for python2.7... 2.7.6 - selected
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "mainwindow.py", line 32, in <module>
wxversion.select('2.8')
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wxversion.py", line 152, in select
raise VersionError("Requested version of wxPython not found")
wxversion.VersionError: Requested version of wxPython not found
And it has the exact same output for either version of wxgtk. I'd test it on wxpython2.8, but that depends on wxgtk2.8, which I can't install without either uninstalling important packages like audacity or forcing conflict overwriting. It also loops this error forever until I CTRL+C.

[SOLVED] xfce-panel causing problems with mouse/touchpad

Since upgrading the packages below I mouseclicks occasionally do not work. Also scrolling using the scrollwheel and touchpad doesn't start sometimes. I determined it is not a problem with the mouse or touchpad because 'xev' shows the correct events firing. Also I see the icon change from arrow to hand when clicking.
<edit>
It appears that "xfce4-panel" is the cause. I use tint2 instead of xfce-panel, but the process running an empty panel is started by default and somehow interfered with mouse and touchpad events. solved it by removing it from the session, and comment it out in /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml

welcome to macbook forum.
try this link:

and open your system preference / keyboard and mouse / trackpad tab / and changed the preference (double clicking speed, etc) as you like and try it.
Good Luck.

[solved] Some programs cause problems for sound in other programs.

Today I noticed that audio has stopped working in some applications, but not others. The programs that I know where it doesn't work are:
Hotline Miami (game)
VLC
Dungeons of Dredmor (game)
Uplink (game)
Programs where I know it works are:
mplayer / smplayer (on the same files where vlc does not work)
mpd
Programs run through wine
Standalone flash player and the firefox flash plugin
Additionally, when I run a program where audio doesn't work, I have to restart programs where it does. For example, I'll pause mpd, open Hotline Miami, and then quit. When I try to unpause mpd, I'll get the error message "Failed to open audio output". But if I try a couple times, it will eventually resume. It's a similar situation for mplayer. I'll have to quit and restart mplayer a couple times after trying one of the other programs before audio will work.
Further complicating the matter is that there are no error messages for the programs where audio does not work. I can't seem to track down the problem. I also don't do much with sound beyond using mpd and mplayer, so I don't know when this started.
My hardware is a Lenovo IdeaPad z580 with integrated Intel HDA audio.
EDIT: I just noticed that the problem is not what I thought. Part of the problem was simply due to volume. So I can get sound in the listed programs. However, running those programs does still cause the problem for the mplayer and mpd where I have to restart them.

Gah. It does appear to have been a pulseaudio thing. I hadn't even realized it was installed, let alone running. I've fixed it. Thanks for the help! And thanks, brebs, for the asoundrc file. I think it'll help a lot.

[SOLVED] Arch Kernel Configuration

Hi, I'd like to compile recompile the Kernel but I would like to know wich are the default configuration settings that the compiled kernel26 of the core repository has. I would like to tweak some things but starting from that configuration not from the defaul Kernel configuration found in www.kernel.org.
I would like to know it ABS could be used to do it, or if I can get a configuration file somewhere and use it with ABS.
Thank you very much.

Ok thank you very much! I've found the configuration within the ABS package. The I can edit it running make menuconfig (or the GUI configurator) and then save the edited file as config (in my case, if it was a x84_64 it would be config.x86_64.
I had to change the checksum for that file in the PKGBUILD file in order to it to work.
It's now compiling!
Another question... Does it uses the CFLAGS defined in /etc/makepkg.conf when compiling the Kernel? I hope so...
Once more, thank you very much for all!
You can also use the ABS PKGBUILD, and add the "make menuconfig" option to be able to change the -ARCH settings.... then when you press exit it will save (and use) your newly created .config.
# load configuration
make menuconfig
# build!
So it will load the default -ARCH generic setup and then you can modify to your hardware specs.

[solved] Arch kernel panic with grub 2 (another instance)

Hey all,
I read through this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=663976 which is somewhat similar to my problem, but not the same.
I successfully installed Arch with a VMware VM, got gnome, openbox, and lxde installed... mucked around a bit. All looked good so I wanted to try it with an actual install.
Background:
I am new to Arch and relatively new to Linux... although not afraid of the terminal.
I am running a Lenovo SL500 laptop.
The laptop has one drive (sda) and is divided as following:
sda1: service partition (required for this machine)
sda2: ntfs containing Windows 7
sda3: extended partition containing:
sda5: linux swap
sda6: ntfs data storage
sda7: ext4 ubuntu 9.10
sda8: ext4 arch
Here is what I did:
I installed arch to sda8, and when it came time for me to set the boot partition I selected 'none' as I wanted to use grub2 which is already installed via the ubuntu installation.
When the installation of arch finished, I rebooted into my ubuntu system and ran update-grub. The output verified that Arch was located at sda8, and the grub.cfg file shows:
menuentry "Arch (on /dev/sda8)" {
insmod ext2
set root=(hd0,8)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 5ee916d1-5051-4e27-9c1f-a74f04693337
linux /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda8
When I attempt to boot into arch, as it is above, I get:
Unable to mount filesystem
not syncing : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0)
Now... when I installed arch I formated the partition to ext4, I have verified that it is ext4, and the fstab in the arch partition lists it as ext4. When I altered the above grub2 boot parameters and changed ext2 to ext4, it returned 'error - file not found'.
Any idea where I went wrong or what I should try to fix this?
Should I have installed a bootloader with the arch install?
Thanks for any help

My grub2 installation was also via Ubuntu and the auto-detected entry didn't work, so in /etc/grub.d/40_custom (Ubuntu) I have this...
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
menuentry "Arch Linux (on /dev/sda5)" {
set root=(hd0,5)
linux /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/80db2d73-6dea-465c-a9a2-b14624badc57 ro
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
menuentry "Arch Linux (fallback)" {
set root=(hd0,5)
linux /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/80db2d73-6dea-465c-a9a2-b14624badc57 ro

menuentry "Windows XP" {
set root=(hd0,1)

I believe you can disable os_prober by adding
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER="true"
to /etc/default/grub. I disabled it myself by the other method, removing it's executable flag...
sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober
I should point out that I haven't installed grub2 in Arch yet as I'm still in the transitional (and undecided) stage.

I don't know why, and I do not know if I care.

Instead, I switched to catalyst-hook (I used catalyst) and upgraded to kernel 3.11.4, the latest version of xorg (there was a new one), gnome 3.10 and the module compiled perfectly, so now everything works on my system
You right, but you know... I have a lot projects in queue and not have time to search and test evertying
But, now... catalyst has installed successfully, but, I think isn't working 100%, because, when I click (for example), in a Google Chrome tab, and move to left/right, all tabs disappear or are blurry.
Anyway, thanks.

Suspend removed form arch kernel ? [solved]

I don't know why Software suspend was removed from default arch kernel.
Can it be re-enable ?
I have recompiled arch kernel with addind this options :
CONFIG_PM=y
# CONFIG_PM_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND=y
CONFIG_PM_STD_PARTITION="/dev/hdx"
but there is no /sys/power/disk or /sys/power/mem on my system
(it was working with 2.6.13 arch kernel)
did I missed something ?

ok, I think that initrd is the problem.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Initrd
I have found some scripts but it's only for swsusp2
http://wiki.suspend2.net/DistroAndHardw … bianInitrd
Anybody knows how to activate vanilla swsuspend1 on arch ?

Solving Kernel/Xorg problems

Hi all,
I've been using linux for several years now, and I like it a lot, but it's still not clear in my mind what to do when I run into kernel or Xorg problems.
When I run into a problem with a userland application, it's usually quite simple to identify the culprit or at least the apparent culprit, find the relevant bugzilla, file a bug and try to help the people in charge to fix the problem.
In contrast, the world of low-level stuff is a lot more intimidating. For example, I have had several display and supsend/hibernate problems with my laptop for more than one year now, but I still have no idea what to do about them. What can/ should I do about kernel/Xorg problems?

I didn't want this thread to be about my specific problems, but here goes:
- Suspend fails about half of the time, the screen blanks (with a cursor blinking) and the computer just hangs. It is completely dead (REISUB doesn't work)
- Hibernate doesn't work, when I turn the computer on, it checks the filesystems and boots normally
- About 10% of the time, the login manager (currently kdm, but I had the same problem with gdm) shows with a very low resolution. Restarting xorg usually fixes the problem.
I probably have a few more that I'm forgetting at the moment.

[SOLVED]Arch is sluggish after fresh install :s

Zero-fill format: check!
XFS partitions for / and /home and /home/mariachi/stuff: check!
ext2 partitions for /boot and /var: check!
installation: check!
XFCE: check!
be happy: no check.
I don't understand why my computer almost freezes to death (as in "it's so slow that I though it was dead" kind of death) when I copy a file from one disk to another. I simply cannot do anything else when there's something being actively written to the disk.
This is really troublesome, as an action that used to take a few seconds, now takes minutes and won't let me use any other apps. As soon as the writing is over, everything is fast and joyful again.
The cpu is not being used 100%, neither memory is being "eaten".
Any idea as to what may be causing this? Disk problems?
Thanks fellas
SOLVED:it was a problem with my disk, which I was able to solve

I see this also with heavy disk usage and I'm using ext3 on my both of my drives.
Somewhere here in the forums there was talk about some kernel config that can help fix this. I believe that it was being looked at for the third release of the 2.6.26 kernel. I don't remember where I read it and a quick search turned up nothing. If anyone else remembers this conversation, please jump in.

I want to uninstall ReloadEvery as I think it is causing problems however it is not in my list of Extensions or Plugins yet it is clearly installed, I tried reinstalling FF but it was still there! How can I get rid of it?

I installed ReloadEvery a while ago and it seemed to be working fine however I am now having problems with FF crashing and weird things like pages not reloading and not being able to use the back button etc
I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling FF and upgrading to FF 4.
When I upgraded to FF 4 I was still having problems even though I didn't have any Extensions installed at all, or so I thought. I noticed that ReloadEvery was still installed. I was rather puzzled as I had done a clean install of FF 4. I want to remove ReloadEvery to see if it will solve my problems.
I have also tried following the help on the FF Troubleshooting about manually uninstalling Extensions but again ReloadEvery not listed there yet I am still able to use it in FF!
I want to get rid of it!! I really need some help please.
