[SOLVED] broadcome and arch upgrade

Hi.
I just upgraded arch but my wireless is not working any more. I have broadcom BCM4322 (on apple macbook). I read somwhere that with this kernel26 2.6.33.3-2 i don't need more broadcome driver for wireless. Is this true? And if it is, what do i need to set so my wireless will start to work? I use wicd and it says no wireless found.
On the other hand i can't install even broadcom-wl driver. So i would really appreciate help to set my wireless.

Did you have it set up before? If you did, did you stop the modules from loading in your rc.conf?
Yes i stopped wl module.
You would need to load those modules to make it work, if as you say, the drivers are now built into the kernel.
Which modules do i need to load?
Those are my modules and daemons:
MODULES=(acpi-cpufreq cpufreq_conservative !lib80211 !snd-pcsp lib80211_crypt_tkip !wl)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !network !netfs crond dbus hal cpufreq alsa pommed wicd)

[SOLVED] mkinitcpio and kernel upgrades without SyncFirst option?

As pacman 4.1 doesn't more provide SyncFirst option how to be sure mkinitcpio will run after linux-headers installation?

I hat to uninstall yaourt, yail and package-query simply by:
sudo pacman -Rcs yaourt
then run commands:
sudo pacman -Sy
sudo pacman -S linux-headers
sudo pacman -S pacman
sudo pacman -S yaourt
modify ~/.bashrc with this line

[SOLVED] Booting Win7, Ubuntu, and Arch - Can't load Ubuntu

I have two harddrive disk in my computer - one with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.04 and the other with a fresh install of Arch. When I boot the computer, it opens Arch's new Grub menu and will launch either Arch or Windows 7 just fine, but I'm having issues adding an Ubuntu option.
I installed Grub during the initial install process to the first location on the disk. I have no idea where Ubuntu's Grub2 loader was installed to, or whether it's still there. I've tried searching around for similar cases, but most of them were asked before Arch was installed - I did not think that far ahead. The solutions I did find that seemed relevant did not help. I ranged from the option in Grub just flashing the screen and returning to giving me more specific errors:
Error 15: File not found
and
Error 13: Invalid of unsupported executable format
When I turn on my computer, I want a bootloader with at least three options: Windows 7, ArchLinux, and Ubuntu. I am not partial to Grub Legacy, Grub2, or any other loader. All I ask is ease of customization, which I'm sure this site's wiki will grant me.
How can I meet this goal?
Here is my current /boot/grub/menu.lst file. Again, Windows 7 and Arch launch fine off of it. No luck from Ubuntu.

Wow.... I feel like a retard now. I'm posting this in Windows 7, so I'll reboot and try to fix that. x_x Thanks for catching that.
Edit:
Thank you for that! It now 'works', but by loading a second bootloader. Less than ideal, but if I remember correctly Ubuntu will list future kernel upgrades there, so this should work. But I am curious if there's a way for me to launch Ubuntu directly from the first Grub menu, and then have another option to bring me to this loader.
Otherwise everything works and I can now move on to setting up Arch more.

Hi NWL1,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,

My wife and I upgraded our computers to OSX Mavericks and now she has all my information on her computer. How can we solve this problem. We do not share our Info with each other. This is terrible. Please help asap. Thanking you in advance Larry

When my wife and I upgraded to OSX Mavericks the person I was talking to on apple support said I could use My apple ID and password to up grade on my wife's computer also. Well after we got finished she had all my Info from my computer on hers. It took about 6 hours to install the whole upgrade. They said if you have any problems just to call back and we will help. Here it is on a Sunday and I call every 5 minutes and all I get is a busy signal. If they are not open on Sunday's then why don't the just say so.The number I keep calling is 1-888-263-3394.I don't understand anything about iCloud, maybe thats why all my Info is on hers to. Larry

My wife uses my Apple ID and password to download and install all her software because that way we only pay for it once and get essentially a family license. Otherwise we would each have to purchase and pay for our own copy. However, that only applies when we are purchasing software from the App Store or the iTunes store. We each have our own individual iCloud accounts where we store our personal Contact, Calendar, and other data. You can change the Apple ID on your wife's computer by going to System Preferences > Accounts and choosing her account then clicking on Apple ID: Set.
Now if you want to make things more intertwined you and your wife can share your contacts, calendars etc with one another with read only or read write priveleges.

[SOLVED]Keyboard and touchpad doesn't work after reboot from Arch

Excuse me, but i'm a newbie. I'm not sure if this is an arch problem, but i will just post it here.
I've beening using Arch64 and it works just fine. However, every time i reboot from arch into Windows 7 (32bit), the keyboard and touchpad will stop responding just when the Win7 splash screen shows, however the mouse works fine. Then when you shutdown the computer (from win7 now) it will take apparently longer time, and sometimes i have to press the power key 5 seconds to make it shutdown.
It seems the correct way (to reboot from arch to win7) is to shutdown down the computer first and start it again, and everything will work fine.
And rebooting from win7 to win7 or arch to arch or win7 to arch will work fine too.
I'm glad to post extra information, but I've got no clue and i'm not sure what to put here.
The laptop is a Lenovo Y450 with Intel Core Dual P7540, 4G Memory, NV GT240M. Kernel version of Arch is 3.0.6 (but the problem existed long since earlier versions) I don't have a swap partition. If you need extra information, please mention the item.
Thanks a lot!

Hi!
That is indeed strange. Since your external mouse works fine (which probably is connected via USB, right?) it appears that the problem lies somewhere around the internal keyboard/touchpad access. I'm not sure how this works with a Lenovo Y450, but just try to enter BIOS (in case you have not been there, you probably have to hit F1 or F2 during startup - less likely it would be delete or escape ...) and look for your keyboard/touchpad options.
You should probably find something like "... legacy support ...". This is a relic from PS/2 times and emulates your internal input devices as PS/2 devices. So - when found, just change the setting (you cannot mess anything up, and both systems will probably not even pop up a message). My guess is it is set to "enabled" and Arch somehow messes with the PS/2 emulation in your case .... so just turn it off.
good luck

[SOLVED] Dual boot windows 7 and arch Linux with seperate hard drives

Ok so I'm stuck trying to get my computer to dual boot windows 7 and arch. They are installed on different hard drives and I have grub 2 as the boot loader. I can't find any tutorials on how to do it with seperate hard drives I know how to do it if they are on the same hard drive. Also I want windows on the "first" hard drive how do I check to see which one it considers the first?

Not from the BIOS. He would need to physically open up the computer and switch the cables between them (or add another drive).
There's no actual performance increase in changing this order. Performance increase is when you have the partitions as close to the beginning of a HDD as possible, where the platters spin faster (basic mechanics, not to be confused with CD/DVD, which are being written from the inside-out to prevent errors after extended usage), and it especially doesn't apply to SSDs whatsoever.
You may be right about that. I remember I had to do this a while back but I probably switched the cables. It also messed up the drive mapping in Windows 98 if I remember correctly.

[Solved] Windows 7 and Arch Dual boot- unable to boot into Windows7

Had to reformat computer and reinstall windows and Arch on two separate hard drives (Dual boot) .
Windows 7 was the first install on SDA: (/dev/sda1 - system reserved 100mb, /dev/sda2 - 20gb)
Arch on SDB: (/dev/sdb1- boot 94mb, /dev/sdb2- swap, /dev/sdb3 - root, /dev/sdb4 - /home)
Installed grub2 on /dev/sda. now grub bootloader loads Arch fine. Also shows Windows 7 (on /dev/sda1).
But when chosen Windows 7, it does not load and loops back again to boot loader screen.
In BIOS i have set disk drive SDB as first boot option.
If i choose SDA as first boot option in BIOS, same scenario is repeated.
I have gone through mostly all the pages related to the topic but i can not co-relate the solution
to my exact situation due to limited knowledge.
Can somebody pls help me as to how to edit grub.cfg so as to point it to load windows 7?
the entry related to windows 7 reads as follows:-
quote
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
menuentry 'Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)' --class windows --class os $menue$
insmod part_msdos
insmod ntfs
set root='hd0,msdos1'
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos1 --hint$
else
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root F010D97410D941F0
fi
chainloader +1
unquote
for Arch set root value is hd1,msdos1 and working fine.
Thanks and regards.

Dual Booting Windows and Arch (SOLVED!)

Hello all, I'm having trouble getting a windows partition activated again. (Windows was on here for many years, then I installed arch on a separate partition.)
Here is the layout of fdisk -l:
Disk /dev/sda: 100.0 GB, 100030242816 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 12161 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 7833 62918541 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 7834 12039 33784695 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 12040 12161 979965 82 Linux swap / Solaris
sda1 is the windows partition, and sda2 is the arch partition. The linux partition SHOULD be primary bootable (have the * next to it),but all my attempts to do this have failed. (I've used "testdisk" to change the flags, but for some reason it keeps reverting back to setting sda 1 as primary bootable after a reboot or 2).
This is the pertinent section of /boot/grub/menu.lst:
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/f3be3baa-3b62-460c-8801-64b0b1cca$
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
# (1) Arch Linux

root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/f3be3baa-3b62-460c-8801-64b0b1cca$
initrd /boot/kernel26-fallback.img
# (1) Windows
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
I have a . . . modified . . . copy of XP Professional, which comes with a recovery console to reinstall the MBR if it's necessary.
From what I've researched, I somehow need to reinstall grub to the second partition, make the second partition primary bootable, then rewrite the MBR on the first partition, and correct any command errors in menu.lst, but I haven't really figure out a way to do it.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I read up on some documentation of installing GRUB to the MBR.
So far, I went into ArchLive (from the cd) and did the following
grub> root (hd0,1)
grub> setup (hd0)
The installation reports success with no errors, but the problem persists. Arch linux will boot fine, but when I select XP it flashes my configuration, like so:
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
then kicks me back to the OS select GRUB screen. Did I install it to the wrong place?
EDIT:
I decided to issue this command:
grub> setup(hd0,1)
It reported some errors, then arch couldn't mount the ntfs partition because of possible MFT cluster errors.
Using testdisk, I repaired the boot sector and MFT clusters, then using ArchLive reinstalled grub with grub>(hd0)
Arch and Arch Fallback will boot correctly, but now the windows side shows an error:
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
Loading stage2Read Error (or something to this extent)
I wonder if this error brings me closer or farther to a solution?
Thanks for the replies so far!

Win 7 and Arch dual boot [SOLVED]

There are other help threads about this, but I didn't want to hijack somebody's elses thread. Sorry for the long post, I just want to provide as much detail as possible:
I am trying to use Grub (not Grub2) to dual boot between Arch Linux and Windows 7. I had this working before using Windows XP, but when I reinstalled Windows 7 over Windows XP, Grub would no longer boot Windows.
1. If I manually choose the hd containing Windows 7 to load first in my BIOS, Windows 7 boots no problem. If I manually choose the hd with Grub and Arch to load first in my BIOS, I get a Grub menu, which boots Arch, but not Windows 7. Ideally, I think, I would like to have the internal drive with Arch ranked first, then the internal drive with Windows second in my BIOS. At least, that's how I had been doing things before blowing away XP and installing Windows 7.
2. Here is the (abbreviated) output of sudo fdisk -l
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 2048 206847 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sdb2 206848 169934847 84864000 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sdb3 169935570 1953520064 891792247+ 83 Linux
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 63 1028159 514048+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 1028160 3084479 1028160 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3 3084480 44050229 20482875 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 44050230 488392064 222170917+ 83 Linux
3. From that, I can tell that Arch is installed on sda: sda1 = boot partition; sda2 = swap; sda3 = root partition; sda4 = home partition.
Windows 7 is installed on sdb: sdb1 = system reserved partition (created automatically by Windows 7 during install); sdb2 = Windows; sdb3 = separate ext3 partition
4. I am comfortable editing Grub menus. This is an excerpt of mine:
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/blah-blah-blah ro
initrd /kernel26.img
# (2) Windows
title Windows 7
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
savedefault
makeactive
map (hd1) (hd0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
chainloader +1
5. The error I get is "error 15: file not found" If I change the line reading "rootnoverify" to "root", I get the same error plus the bit about "filesystem unknown, partition type 0x7" so I think I'm pointing at the right partition/drive. That is, I know that partition type 0x7 is an NTFS filesystem/Windows.
6. I messed around with the Grub entry for Windows. I modified the root line to read "rootnoverify (hd1,1)", but things still did not work. I wasn't sure if I needed to bypass the "system reserved" partition created by Windows, or not. I also flip-flopped the two map lines, so they read:
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
That did not work either. I tried these combinations together, but Windows still would not boot. Always the same error message: "filesystem unknown, partition type 0x7"
7. I think I have a mapping problem given that Arch boots fine and Windows boots fine from the BIOS. However, I'm not sure how to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Culley
Edit:
Okay, so I fixed things. I just removed a bunch of stuff from my Grub entry. Even though Windows is not on the same drive as Grub, it does not need the map sections like I thought. I also removed the savedefault and makeactive entries, not sure if that made a difference or not. My new grub entry looks like this
# (2) Windows
title Windows 7
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1

Hard drive and overall upgrades

Hi so my
HP Pavilion p6707c's
hard drive has a failure emminent so i want to replace it and take this oportunity to upgrade other components in my tower.
I would like to upgrade the hard drive, the RAM, the processor, and the graphics. I was wondering if someone could give me a good recomendation for a much higher performance processor and RAM upgrade but the graphics only have to be a moderate upgrade from my old graphics: a G-force GT-440.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The max RAM is stated to be 4 gigs and it only has 2 slots. 4 gig DDR2 modules are very, very expensive anyway if you could even find them so I am going to say there is no practical way to go higher than 4 gigs.
As far as the Phenom Quad Core, whether it is better depends on what you do. You would actually be going from a 3 ghz clock speed to a 2.4 ghz clock speed but from 2 cores to 4 cores. On those programs that can take advantage of multiple cores like Adobe Photoshop the Quad Core is better. For most programs I would take higher clock speed with at least 2 cores.
You could go to a higher speed Athlon II X2 260 at 3.2 ghz and I think there may also be a 270 at 3.4 ghz:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMD-Athlon-II-260-X2-3-2GHz-2M-adx260ock23gm-am3-am2-3-2-ghz-Regor-dual-Core...
My rough rule of thumb is anything less than a 10% improvement is not worth a processor upgrade.

Dual booting Windows 8 and Arch Linux with UEFI

Hi all!
I'm trying to install Arch Linux on my computer where I already have Windows 8, and I'm getting a little stuck when it comes to the partitioning.
Following the beginner's guide and the method here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … n_in_Linux for setting up the partitions properly, regarding UEFI. My problem is that when using cgdisk to set up a new EFI system partition (ef00), I get an error message when trying to write the partition table (just saying that something went wrong). I figure the problem is that I already have a partition like this (correct me if I'm wrong), but it really looks like it succeded (see info below). So my question is: How do I preceed to keep my Windows 8 installation happy, but installing Arch? Do I remove the old EFI system partition and create a new one, or is there some method that allows me to edit the already existing one, to allow me to dual boot Windows 8 and Arch?
My partition table now looks like this:
Part. # Size Partition Type Partition Name
1007KB free space
1 500MB Windows RE Basic data partition
2 300MB EFI System EFI system partition (this one was already present on my system)
3 128MB Microsoft reserved Microsoft reserved partition
4 63.5GB Microsoft basic data Basic data partition
8 512MB EFI System EFI System partition (this is the one I tried to create when I got the error message)
5 29.5GB Linux filesystem Arch (this is where I was going to put my Arch installation)
6 22GB Windows RE Basic data partition
7 1024MB Windows RE Basic data partition
615KB free space
Just for the record; I only created partition #8 and #5.
Any help is appreciated! And sorry for beeing a total noob, but I really suck at this.

sudo make sandwich wrote:If it is possible to share ESP between OSes, how do I do this (would it be sufficent to follow this section: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide#For_UEFI_motherboards)?
There's really very little to do to share an ESP between OSes. Most OS installers will auto-detect the ESP and use it. Problem solved. For Arch it may be a bit more effort just because Arch uses a more hands-on installation process, but I've only done a couple of Arch installations, and the last one was several months ago, so I don't recall the details clearly enough to comment.
And how big will the partition need to be? The beginner's guide says 512MB or higher.
I don't know what was in the mind of the author, but my guess is that's because that's roughly the cutoff point where mkdosfs starts creating FAT32 by default rather than FAT16. The ESP is officially supposed to be FAT32, not FAT16, although FAT16 usually works OK. It's also possible to create FAT32 on smaller partitions by using an explicit option to mkdosfs ("-F 32").
The optimal size of the ESP depends on the files stored on it. If you don't store your Linux kernels, something as small as 100MiB is usually adequate; but a few Linux kernels and their initrd files can consume twice that amount. My own recommendation is for the ESP to be 200-500MiB.
The only error message I got from cgdisk is "Problem saving data! Your partition table may be damaged!", however booting Windows again works fine. Parted did not complain about antything.
Use the "verify" function in cgdisk. That will reveal any problems with the data structures. If a verify turns up OK, then that means that cgdisk ran into some sort of disk problem. Running gdisk rather than cgdisk and using the gdisk "w" option (without making any changes) may produce a more helpful error message.

OS X and Arch dual-boot on MBP - bootloader error

I have a Macbook Pro 9,2, and I dual-boot OS X and Arch. My main Arch partition is encrypted with an LVM on LUKS setup, and my main OS X partition is encrypted with Firevault 2. I run the vanilla Arch kernel, and I use xfce as my DE. I use refind as my boot manager, and grub as the bootloader for the Arch partition. This setup has worked flawlessly for several months. I update my Arch system once per week, and last Sunday was a large update since xfce got a large overhaul (in terms of program and config files). However, since the update I cannot boot into OS X (I am posting this here instead of an OS X forum since no change occurred to the OS X system so the problem must be with a change to my Arch system).
When I attempt to boot into OS X, I am asked for my password to decrypt the partition, but then I get the following error message:

When I hit a key, I get taken back to the refind menu. If I choose OS X again, I get the same error. This cycle can be repeated ad nauseam. Booting into my Arch partition, on the other hand, works just fine, with one hiccup. While usability does not seem to be reduced, after I input my password to decrypt the Arch partition, and before I see the tty1 login, I (since Sunday) occasionally get the following error message that I have never had before:
19.636262] [drm:crypt_set_fifo_underrun_reporting] *ERROR* uncleared pch fifo underrun on pch transcoder

19.332176] ata1.00: status: { DRDY }
The "READ FPDMA QUEUED" line and those below it repeat a few time with different numbers following "cmd" and "res," but then after a few moments the messages clear off the screen and I arrive at my tty1 login screen and from there everything in Arch (including my now-upgraded DE) works normally. This error does not occur during all boots, but I cannot discern any pattern behind when I see it and when I do not. The OS X error and failure to boot occurs every time I try to boot into OS X.
I have learned a lot as an Arch user, but this problem is beyond me. Google has not been particularly friendly, understandably so given the peculiarity of the problem and my setup. I have not yet tried undoing the update I did on Sunday because (a) it would be a pain since there were >30 packages that were upgraded, and (b) I have no evidence that the upgrade was actually causative of this issue, though I may eventually attempt the downgrade out of desperation if I cannot find a solution. Note that the update I keep referencing did not including a kernel update.
I appreciate any advice or insight that you can offer.

I don't have much in the way of a solution for your problem, but to start with, what were the > 30 packages? In particular, was grub/refind updated (or anything else that would likely touch your efi partition? I know from my own messing with refind, that you can potentially 'damage' your partition layout with certain commands which maybe causing osx not to boot...
Then again, the errors may have nothing to do with your arch installation and maybe indicative of a different problem all together. Normal procedure is at this point is to backup your complete disk (clone/mirror it, read up on how to do that especially with regards to the encryption systems used), and try to diagnose for any problems the mbp maybe having.
You could use an apple rescue cd (that may no longer be available with newer mbp , I have no idea..) or maybe use a different harddisk and install osx there and see if you can get everything running 'normally' thus ruling out any funky errors with the hw. check apple's recovery options if need be.
I guess you'll just have to fiddle about a bit and try to more closely determine what the actual problem is. and again, backup your stuff!

Dual boot Mac OS X and Arch: Arch installer cannot find CD drive?

Hi, everyone! A friend convinced me to install Arch about a month ago on my desktop and I've loved it so much that I want to dual boot Mac OS X and Arch on my Macbook Pro 7.1.
So I have a Macbook Pro 7.1. I have partitioned the drive in Mac OS X and installed rEFIt. I have the Arch x86_64 disk which I know works because I installed Arch on another computer.
When I boot from CD I get the familiar Arch screen with options "Boot Arch Linux, existing OS... etc." I click boot Arch, and it starts to load. However, it says "Waiting 30 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201005 ... ERROR: boot device didn't show up after 30 seconds... Falling back to interactive prompt. /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off."
After searching around the forums, some people said they had similar problems attempting to install via USB. I used "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" and my CD drive does not show up in ramfs.. What can I do to install this amazing OS on my MB Pro 7.1?
Thank you for your time!

Solved! sledgehammer and MrE (sorry, I can't spell it) in IRC helped me out. I had to download a newer iso that offers better Mac hardware support. 2010-12 iso

Miscellaneous Warnings
WARNING: --> Database is using a timezone file older than version 14.
.... After the release migration, it is recommended that DBMS_DST package
.... be used to upgrade the 10.2.0.4.0 database timezone version
.... to the latest version which comes with the new release.
WARNING: --> Database contains INVALID objects prior to upgrade.
.... The list of invalid SYS/SYSTEM objects was written to

Recommendations
Oracle recommends gathering dictionary statistics prior to
upgrading the database.
To gather dictionary statistics execute the following command
while connected as SYSDBA:
    EXECUTE dbms_stats.gather_dictionary_stats;
Oracle recommends reviewing any defined events prior to upgrading.
To view existing non-default events execute the following commands
while connected AS SYSDBA:
Events:
    SELECT (translate(value,chr(13)||chr(10),' ')) FROM sys.v$parameter2
      WHERE UPPER(name) ='EVENT' AND isdefault='FALSE'
Trace Events:
    SELECT (translate(value,chr(13)||chr(10),' ')) from sys.v$parameter2
      WHERE UPPER(name) = '_TRACE_EVENTS' AND isdefault='FALSE'
Changes will need to be made in the init.ora or spfile.
