[SOLVED] Can not install Arch on a VirtualBox

Dear all,
I would like to get familiar with Arch and have tried to install in on a Virtual Machine created with VirtualBox.
Unfortunately I can't even start the installation,
whenever I select Install Arch_64bit I just see a white cursor and nothing else happens.
I have found three logs file in my Virtual Machine folders, you can find them here:
http://pastebin.com/699gGph3
http://pastebin.com/0ryWVmaW
http://pastebin.com/2u9siij5
Can you please help me understanding what is wrong and how to fix it and install VirtualBox?
Thanks a lot in advance for the help,
Luca

I'll try that and let you know how it goes!
If the md5 checksout, you probably have a bad setting in your vm within virtualbox.  Check it or delete and re-create.

  • [Solved]Can I install arch without a swap partition ?

    I only have one primary partition free to install arch, with 3 primary partition and 1 extend partition, I have no other choice except install without swap partition.
    Is there any suggestion? I will try it until I get a U storage to write .img in.

    Sure, it's perfectly possible to use any linux system without swap. including arch.
    There are 2 ways to do disk partitioning in /arch/setup:
    1) autoprepare. with this method, you pick a disk (a disk you want to use entirely). you will be asked some questions (including how big swap should be). this method will create the partitions with the sizes you mention (/boot, swap, / and /home) optionally you can add additional fs'es
    2) manual. the installer can launch cfdisk for you if you need to alter partitions (if you want this), and after that you can define pretty much your stuff the way you like it (eg no swap) iirc. i'm not 100% sure though.
    Frankly I don't understand why you say "I have no choice", if you don't have enough partitions, you can always create additional ones.

  • [SOLVED] Can I install Arch on the same PC, without a CD/USB/Netboot

    Hello
    I'm kinda bored, and then I like to reinstall Arch over and over.. but I lack a CD/USB stick and/or another PC to do a PXE install, therefor..
    Can I set up my current installation to boot into a new arch install when I reboot somehow?
    Thanks.

    or extract kernel & initrd from archboot image, save it somewhere and create a grub entry - works fine for net installs
    Ok I thought it was solved, but I was wrong.. here's what I did, hopefully you or someone else can help.
    Downloaded the netinst image (160mb), copied:
    /mnt/iso/boot/archiso.img > /boot/archiso.img
    /mnt/iso/boot/vmlinuz26 > /boot/vmlinuz26-test
    Edited /boot/grub/menu.lst according to /mnt/iso/boot/isolinux.cfg
    # test
    title Arch test install
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz26-test
    initrd /archiso.img archisolabel=ARCH_201005 tmpfs_size=75% locale=en_US.UTF-8
    Now, whenever I boot this.. it says "Waiting 30 seconds for device /disk-by/uid.. lots of dots here.
    Ideas? I'd like to avoid making a new partition as suggested in the wiki, as it requires me to load a live cd of sorts anyway, so I can shrink one of my partitions.
    Thanks :-)!

  • Can I install arche in "safe" way from other worki

    Can I install arche in "safe" way from other working distro?
    Like Debootstrap for example.
    I don't like regular install that I don't have control of the installation procees and It work as root alone so It's need very careful in the partition level.
    It is possible?

  • I can not install flash player activeX

    Hi, For some reason I had to uninstall Flash Player Plugin Istaller Active X and Flash Player. Although he has performed all procedures and automatic aid two days have passed and I can not install the Active X control As part of the 'install it I get a notification saying actual words (translated from Italian into English):
    The Adobe Flash Player ActiveX is not attempting to install the latest. Visit http://......................player_it to get the latest and most secure.
    This message appears just downloading from the site recommended and everything is really frustrating. My OS is VISTA64x Home Premium and the problem persists on both IE8 IE8 x64 x32.
    Also stress that I have not installed any ActiveX flash player so why do I feel that I try to install the version that is not especially since the most recent discharge from the link that that message would you recommend?
    I hope someone is able to say once and for all how to solve this problem.
    Sincerly Jinjetto

    Hi, glad that worked for you. Also thanks for the explanation as how you came about this. Yes, from my understanding any Install of the CS5, even a trial version Installs the 10.1 (beta/prerelease) versions. It is not clear to me or others why the 10.1 was used in the CS5 instead of the latest version (10.0.45.2). My only guess is that the 10.1 is very close to being released as a shipping version (final release) to the public. The 10.1 had a target date of the first half of 2010. Perhaps that was the reasoning. This is just my opinion:-)
    As I said, many users are having this problem, not just with the CS5, but they Install the 10.1 thinking that will solve whatever problem they may be having with the latest version.
    Your thread is very helpful for other users that may be having the exact problem that you were. For this reason if you marked your thread as answered, they would read it first.
    Thanks,

  • [SOLVED]How to install Arch Linux UEFI to dual-boot?

    Hey,
    so I have a Lenovo G50-70 on which I want to have a Windows-Arch dualboot. I followed the Beginner's Guide, installed Arch but ended up with an inaccessible Windows. I could boot into Windows from the BIOS utility, but not from the gummiboot bootloader.
    The guide said if I wanted to dual-boot, I must leave windows EFI partition alone, which I did. I have my Windows partitions set up the Windows way, with the system reserved and EFI and recovery partitions, and I have my Windows partition of course and a data partition. After that I have some unallocated space, on which I made the Arch partitions, /dev/sda6 as an ESP partition for the EFI files, /dev/sda7 as root, /dev/sda8 as swap and /dev/sda9 as /home. The install process went without any error, then I made some configurations and installed dosfstools & efibootmgr. After that, I installed gummiboot and ran "gummiboot --path=/boot install". After that I created the configuration files exactly like in the guide, unmounted the partitions, rebooted and saw that there's no (easy) way getting into Windows. So my question is: how can I install Arch to have a working dual-boot system?
    Thanks for any help in advance!

    Hey,
    Writing to you on my working dual-boot with ArchLinux (Windows 8.1 64-Bit, UEFI)
    So first step I've done is creating free space of an existing partition in the windows disk management (windows button and r and then type diskmgmt.msc). At this step, you have to record which partition your efi partition is (just take a look at your efi partition and remember the mb of this partition for later)
    Then go into the uefi settings (bios) and disable secure boot as well as fast boot, otherwise it could cause data crash.
    Boot your Arch Live CD and follow the beginners guide all the way along till you reach the disk management.
    If you want to have swap, you can create yours right now, should be a primary partition of about 4gigs.
    Next partition is gonna be your home, system partition (I've didn't created two partitions for home and for the system but you could do this as well as just go with one partition) this partition gonna be formatted in ext4
    Next step, you have to mount your windows-efi partition in /boot/efi but don't format it dont remeber if it asks you how to use the partition but if so, just use as fat32.
    After the disk management go ahead with your arch installation and follow the beginners guide. (Make sure you're using the grub bootloader)
    After finishing the installation, restart your system, hopefully you will recognize the opening grub menu. (but dont scare, windows wont show in the grub menu at this time so you have to boot your arch)
    Arrived in arch linux type the command
    grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
    Reboot and your done with your Arch Linux, Windows 8 dual boot, hopefully

    = No SB0220 support available? SO, IS THERE exactly a model numbered as SB0220 AT ALL?
    I think there is not.
    Yes My Sound Card is exaclty SB0220. I have downloaded the patch and start it. After that I configured the installer and now I have creative drivers. But are they the best for my sound card? After all I`ve pathed the installer and some sort lied it. If the drivers are for my model, why should I path it's
    Yes, I've seen a true SB0220 too on a picture after writing that comment so there is true SB0220 model. But, are you sure your card is SB0220? Did you look the number from a sticker on card board w/ serial number lik MSB022xxxxxxxxxxx where the SB022x is the true model number for your card.
    Why you didn't got drivers installed for your card is, because the installer doesn't support the model SB0220 (supported cards are listed in ctcomp.dat -> this is the file ctcomp.exe patches).
    IIrc, those drivers are the latest ones for your card. If you like to, you can try soft-mod your card the way, you can use Audigy series drivers (which are a bit newer) -> http://www.tech-pc.co.uk/audigy-2.php (i.e. you just use ctcomp.exe utility to patch the installer for Audigy drivers (use these drivers st - http://www.station-drivers.com/telechargement/creative/%20audigy%205.2.0.042.exe) (newer installer maybe can't be patched w/ ctcomp).

    Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
