[SOLVED] Archiso doesn't work when booting

(Note for moderators: I don't know where to put this post, so I just put it here. Move it if it isn't in the right section.)
Hello
Here's my problem: I want to make a Arch live-cd with custom packages, custom hooks, ... So I searched for a way to do it. Larch works, but it's not modular. Then, I found Archiso, the official tool for Arch developers: very modular, and fits exactly to my needs.
The only problem is that when I want to boot it (with VirtualBox), a kernel panic occurs The error is:
/bin/run-init: opening console: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
According to the archiso hook, it appears that when passing control to Arch Linux Initscripts, it tries to open /dev/console, and fails.
What's the problem, and how can I fix it?

  • [SOLVED] NET_PROFILES=('menu') doesn't work at boot time

    Hi I've created two network profiles to change eth0 configuration on my laptop according to where I am.
    The problem is that NET_PROFILES=('menu') (in rc.conf) doesn't work at boot time: the profile select dialog doesn't appear.
    It works only if I do a /etc/rc.d/network restart.
    Here is the relevant part of my rc.conf
    lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
    eth0="eth0 192.168.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
    INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
    # Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
    # Declare each route then list in ROUTES
    # - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it
    gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
    ROUTES=(gateway)
    # Enable these network profiles at boot-up. These are only useful
    # if you happen to need multiple network configurations (ie, laptop users)
    # - set to 'menu' to present a menu during boot-up
    # - prefix an entry with a ! to disable it
    # Network profiles are found in /etc/network-profiles
    NET_PROFILES=('menu') #### I tried even without quotes with the same result!!
    By the way, I tried this on three different machines (one is always up to date, the others aren't)  with the same result.

    iphitus thanks for your prompt reply, but I already have dialog installed. In fact the menu appears if I do a network restart, but it doesn't at boot.

  • [SOLVED] xfce 4.8 = auto mount doesn't work at boot

    Hi
    I installed arch linux with xfce as DE. auto mount doesn't work at boot. I read the wiki about policykit and I have

    at my .xinitrc but still no luck. I have dbus running as a daemon and my user belong to appropriate groups (storage and ...)
    I don't want to use auto mount rules instead of xfce auto mount.
    thanks in advanced

    Thanks for your solution, it wasn't quite what solved the problem but i remembered that i had a bit of salt water on my phone recently and spraying the charging port with an anti-oxide spray solved my problem, do you mind if i ask, how is the charging port related with the volume or/and speakers?

  • Charger works when notebook is off, but it doesn't work when the notebook is on.

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6-3070tx Entertainment Notebook PC.
    My charger doesn't work when the notebook is on and plugged in, but when the notebook is off (or even when it is in sleep mode) it gets charged. I tested this by using different chargers that work in other hp notebooks. If this can be solved, I'll be grateful.

    Hi
    There are two structures of DVDs
    • Data-DVD - as burned from DeskTop/Finder
    • Video-DVD - to be played on a DVD-Player - Needs a program that can do this
    One can in iMovie - Export as QuickTime .mov and save this via DeskTop/Finder onto a DVD - BUT this will only play on a Computer and if it is a Window-PC this needs to download QT-player or VLC-player.
    But no DVD-player for TV can play back this.
    To get a Video-DVD then You need
    • iDVD (not from Apple any more) - or -
    • DVD Studio Pro (not from Apple any more) - or -
    • FinalCut Pro-X (can do simple Video-DVDs) - or -
    • Burn - http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html - FREE - but very PLAIN - no fancy things at all.
    • Roxio Toast™ 11 Pro - Fairly advanced - and costs a bit - still very Good and lot's of great tool's included. (I love it) - Can also back convert home made DVDs to an editable mode in an OK quality. With BD-component also capable to do sort of Blu-Ray DVDs.

  • BitmapData draw method doesn't work when the project is published as the .swf file of the web applic

    Hi,
            I am totally confused by this strange error. When I tried using the draw method of BitmapData to draw a movieclip symbol of my project, it seems to work fine locally. However, as I uploaded the published .swf file to my web server and launched it as the plugin of my web application, it failed. The source codes as follows,
    function printscreenClicked():void
         //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message1
        var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(stage.width,stage.height);
        //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message2
      bd.draw(stage);
        //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message3
    message3 didn't show at all. Instead, the browser console shows "Uncaught Error: Error calling method on NPObject.". My understanding of this error message is that the .swf is calling something crashing, and I believe that bd.draw(stage)is the crashng method call.
    Also, here is my html embed tag:
        <embed src="/tests/videoplayer.swf" id="flash" quality="high" height="510" width="990" scale="exactfit" name="squambido" align="middle" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" style="margin: 0px auto;clear:both;position:relative;"/>
    Can someone help me?

    Thank you for your reply.
    I tried stageWidth and stageHeight, but it still doesn't work.
    The draw() methid is triggered when I clicked a screenshot button in my application as follows,
    ExternalInterface.addCallback("printscreenClicked", printscreenClicked);
    function printscreenClicked():void
         //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message1
        var bd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(stage.width,stage.height);
        //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message2
      bd.draw(stage);
        //ExternalInterface.call calls a javascript function to print message3
    Would you please give me an example of "waiting for Event.RESIZE is good, or just at least Event.ENTER_FRAME"?
    My real purpose in this application is to capture a snapshot of a streaming video. The video is contained in a movieclip object. I tried stage first since BirmapData.draw() doesn't work when drawing the movieclip on the web site. Do you have any suggestion for this situation? Also, is there any good method to find out what happened if the browser have "Uncaught Error: Error calling method on NPObject."?

  • I have different account ID's with my iphone and computer. I would like to standardise both to just the one. One of the ID's doesn't work, when I tried to list the second email with the preferred one a message telling me that this email is already in

    I have different account ID's with my iphone and computer.
    I would like to standardize both to just the one.
    One of the ID's doesn't work, when I tried to list this second email with the preferred one a message telling me that this email is already in use pops up.. yes it is, with me??
    Is there an easy to fix this please, Fabfitz

    If the email address you want to use is being used as the primary email address on a different ID you have to manage that ID and change it to a different primary email address.  This explains how: Change your Apple ID - Apple Support.
    If it is being used as an alternate or rescue address on a different ID, you manage the ID and either remove it or change it to a different email address.  This explains how: Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses - Apple Support.

  • I have Adobe Acrobat 9.5.4 installed on my computer and it doesn't work when PDFing

    I have Adobe Acrobat 9.5.4 installed on my computer and it doesn't work when PDFing my document using Microft Word 2010. I have tried using the tab add-in, but it doesn't respond either. The only way to convert my document is to save it as a .pdf from the save as drop down box. I need to be able to have the full functionability of creating a PDF document with the tabs and links working.
    Please help!

    From OFFICE 2010 you either have to have AA X or just print to the Adobe PDF printer. You give no information on your operating system or specifically what you mean by PDFing -- there are multiple ways to create a PDF from a WORD document and you have given no information. However, in this case your only choice is to print to the Adobe PDF printer. Otherwise, you need to upgrade Acrobat.

  • [Photoshop CC 2014] Click&hold-move-release doesn't work when adding adjustment layer from the layer panel

    When selecting a menu item I used to click the left mouse button and hold it down, move the pointer to the desired menu item and release the mouse button. Everything works fine in the mine menu, but there's a problem when adding new adjustment layer from the layer panel: when I release the button nothing happens, I have to press the button again. In previous PS version it worked fine. How can I fix this?

    I don't think that is user fixable, meaning you'll have to wait till adobe fixes it with an update.

    Whenever i press "transfer purchased items from ipod", itunes sync's for about 3 seconds, but I still can't install updates on the ipod without itues warning me about purchased items on the ipod, that aren't in the itunes library. I've tried folowing the steps in itunes help, but I can only find a step guide for when you know the specific item that needs transferring, and I donøt know that specific item.

    This Apple Tech Note explains the process:

    How do I delete items in my calendar when it doesn't work when I hover them over the trash can?

    There are several ways
         - Selecting the event and hitting the "delete" key on your keyboard (as Wayne Contello said)
         - Selecting the event and opening the "edit" dropdown menubar item, and then selecting "delete"
         - Selecting the event and right clicking, then selecting "cut" (this option puts the event on your clipboard)
