[Solved] Can't boot up due to error in a conf file

After trying to install kpd it seems that the /etc/kpd.conf file contains an error. After restarting the computer I see an error when it is booting up. Then on the login screen when I type my username for every key pressed 3 chars are show ie username => foo output => fffoooooo.
Coming from a ubuntu I figured I would just restart in simple/safe mode, but there doesn't seem to be one, or at least I don't have one on the boot screen.
I am lost to how ti fix the config file. Anyone have some advice?
Thanks for the help.

If you still have the ubuntu live cd lying around, you could probably try that out.

I can't open Itunes due to error -45075. What do I do?

I can't open Itunes due to error -45075. What do I do?

I Had this problem along with the error message that it's missing the driver GNSDK_DSP.DLL. I am Windows XP and fixed the error by going to Start>My Computer>Add or Remove Programs
When the Add or Remove programs list is "populated", Find iTunes on it. Click the link that says "For more information" and the iTunes box will expand. You will see a button that says "Repair" and it says to reinstall the program if it is not working correctly, use the "Repair" button. I clicked the Repair button and it automatically started the reinstall. When all the progress bars disappear (it doesn't really give you any other indication that its done) click the "close" button and try to open iTunes again. It worked first time for me. I also saw another forum where someone said it worked for the other Windows versions by following the same route, just that in other windows versions it might be "Computer" instead of "My Computer" and the Add or Remove Programs function is also called something else. Hope this helps somebody having this problem. It drove me crazy finding the answer, but the fix was super simple once I found out what to do.

[SOLVED] Can't boot Windows 8 using grub2. invalid EFI file path

English is not my native language. Please excuse typing errors.
I have just successfully installed Arch linux with grub2 as its boot manager. I
followed the arch beginner guide. I've used grub before and I'm familiar with
it, so chose to use grub instead for efistub. I installed os-prober and
ran grub-mkconfig to create the grub.cfg file. The problem now is that I recieve
an error when I try to boot windows 8. I have two drives (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb)
and I believe both are EFI-systems.
However, it's not very important for me to use grub, so if booting into windows
8 is easier using efistub, I will try that.
The computer is ASUS ux32vd with a hybrid disk with 25GB on the SSD and 500GB on
the hard drive. I believe the SSD part is used by Windows.
This is the first error I recieved when I tried to boot windows.
error: can't find command `drivemap'.
error: invalid EFI file path.
Press any key to continue...
Then I tried to follow this post
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150183 and made a new boot
entry "Windows 82". And I got a new error:
error: unspecified search type.
error: file '/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi' not found
Press any key to continue...
Here are some command line outputs.

I gave up trying to make grub work, so I uninstalled grub and deleted all the grub files I could find.
# pacrem grub-efi-x86_64
# rm -fr /boot/grub
That last one I came to regret later on. So I installed rEFInd using the archlinux beginners guide. When I then tried to boot into windows It told me that /boot/grub/x86_64-efi/normal.mod was not found. I then reinstalled grub-efi-x86_64 and copied /usr/lib/grub/x86_64 to /boot/grub. Now everything works fine.

The EFI stub loader is a Linux-only boot loader; however, it is possible to use the EFI stub loader in conjunction with a separate boot manager, such as rEFInd or gummiboot. In such a configuration, you'd use the boot manager to select the OS to boot (Windows or Linux, and possibly the specific Linux kernel), and the boot loader (the Windows loader or the EFI stub loader built into a specific kernel) will then take over booting the OS. In Arch, this is often easier to configure than is GRUB, since GRUB is very complex and its automated tools to help with setting things up often get it wrong.
This is the first error I recieved when I tried to boot windows.
error: can't find command `drivemap'.
error: invalid EFI file path.
Press any key to continue...
The "drivemap" command in GRUB is generally used when booting a BIOS-mode boot loader, and in fact your "Windows Recovery Environment (loader) (on /dev/sda2)" and "Windows 8 (loader) (on /dev/sda4)" GRUB entries are both built as for BIOS-mode Windows installations -- but the fact that your disks both use GPT means that Windows won't boot in BIOS mode on your computer. (This is one of the many things that the GRUB setup scripts can get wrong.)
Then I tried to follow this post
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150183 and made a new boot
entry "Windows 82". And I got a new error:
error: unspecified search type.
error: file '/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi' not found
Press any key to continue...
Both your "Windows 8" and "Windows 82" entries refer to an EFI boot loader file called EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi on your EFI System Partition (ESP). This should be correct, but your Boot Info Script output doesn't show any evidence of such a file. Sometimes Boot Info Script misses such things, so you may want to check it just to be sure. Your ESP is /dev/sda1, and it looks like it's being mounted at /boot/efi by default, so check for the /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft directory tree, and for /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi in particular. If that file isn't present, then something is wrong -- perhaps you mistakenly erased the ESP when you installed Linux, thus wiping out the Windows boot loader; or perhaps the file was accidentally deleted somewhere along the way. (Note that on FAT, which the ESP uses, case is irrelevant, and in fact case varies between the filenames reported by Boot Info Script and what's recorded in your configuration files.)
You do have another boot loader file that may be a duplicate of the Windows boot loader: EFI/BOOT/bkpbootx64.efi. This filename is generally created by Ubuntu's "Boot Repair" tool, which IMHO can do as much harm as good, especially on a system that's not booting Ubuntu. If you ran this tool, though, it's conceivable that bkpbootx64.efi is a copy of the Windows boot loader, so copying it to EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi might get things working. OTOH, the Windows boot loader relies on other files to do its job, so if they're not present, copying the Windows boot loader to its original location won't be sufficient.
If you can't get things working based on the preceding suggestions, I recommend you run a Windows repair tool. These are accessible from a Windows recovery disc. Such disc images are readily available on the Internet, but I don't happen to have any links handy. Try Microsoft's own site; images obtained from random third-party sites might contain malware. Once you've done this, chances are the computer will boot directly into Windows. You'll then need to either restore GRUB as the default boot loader or install another boot loader or boot manager. You can use the Windows "bcdedit" command to do the former, as in:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\arch-grub\grubx64.efi
You'll need to type this from an Administrator Command Prompt window.

[SOLVED]Can't boot Arch after installation-grub use wrong uuid in bios

Hello I would like to ask for Your help and say hello. I'm new here.
I have one big problem with Arch. Can't boot it after base installation. The same problem with Arch, that was mentioned in this topic:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 7#p1294597
I have the same problem and the same error:
No such Device: ad4103fa-d940-47ca-8506-301d8071d467.
Loading Linux core repo kernel ...
error: no such partition.
Loading initial ramdisk ...
error: you need to load the kernel first.
Press any key to continue..._
I'm new here, and with Arch, could you explain me how to fix it? I tried the solution given in the link above, several times but with each time i have errors and warnings from the post 1 in mentioned topic. I installed my Arch from usb thumb drive. Maybe this is something to do with it? Also, my hard drive that Arch is installed on is being connected to a "raid card" named Adaptec, but during installation my disk is being found so i think that drivers is present and works ok, so it is not related to this, also there is no raid present, i use it only as a mean to connect to motherboard because there is not enough sata port, and because:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/35626
he wrote that this error is also on virtualbox, so it is not my fault and Adaptec related issue.
I haven't tried this yet:
Sotanaht,
I had the exact same problem as you, but I was able to fix it by replacing the bad grub.cfg file with the grub.conf file found in the same directory. If you try this do not forget to back up your original file (just in-case smile)
because i don't know much about it, don't want to destroy data on my hard disks or to destroy my other distros (i use Ubuntu with derrativates such as Mint, Kubntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, and Slackware 13.37 and 14.00).
If you could explain it in details i would be really happy.
I could post something about my setup, please write what. My computer is:
-AMD X4 PII 955 runinng at 3.2GHz
-4GB DDR2 runinng at base clock (800 if i remember correctly)
-about 7 hard drive disk connected to a sata ports, one adaptec drive that i mentioned above and one dvd-rom
-nvidia GTX260
-850W PSU Chieftec

It is wrong, the root partition is different than in this, we can see that this grub leads to wrong root partition, i posted my root partition at the bottom from /etc/fstab. I don't know how to fix it - i'm not familiar with the dos names (hd 0,5 and so on).
Here is my /etc/fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

[SOLVED] Can't boot computer (device not found)

On boot (both Normal and Fallback) I get:
Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-uuid/d3c4f22d-65c6-4e06-bcc1-752db552061
ERROR: device '/dev/disk/by-uuid/d3c4f22d-65c6-4e06-bcc1-752db552061' not found
Skipping fsck
And then it drops to a shell, and I need to use "exit" to run, but it requires me to choose a boot partition (I tried exit /dev/sda1 and others but it says invalid number).
I know there are many posts on that, but since I believe this is a specific issue (I updated kernel last night with -Syyu'd), I decided to make my own.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

About that, I have some questions...
1. How long can it take?
2. How dangerous is it?
3. Is it really what I need?
4. Can I lose files? Since I can't boot, is there a way to save them?
5. In order to find out what my root partition is, can I use Gparted?
5.1. Can I not use an Arch Live CD and use Ubuntu for example? It's much easier to do it.
6. How do I know if I have a separate boot partition? I have all /dev/sda's, and one of them is boot I think. Don't we all have?
Sorry and thank you!
Also, and I want to make this clear, I did *not* use force on pacman, I never do.
So, what caused?
I just updated it normally, like I always do, was it some arch error everybody else experienced?
1) The time to boot the live cd, type the commands and like 30 seconds for mkinitcpio.
2) lol, not dangerous
3) Since it's in the Q&A: most probably.
4) You can always lose files. Just boot a live cd, mount the partitions you want to save and the partition you want to save it to and copy (or rsync).
5) I don't think so, unless you gave your partitions a descriptive label. Just mount partitions until you find the root.
5.1) I don't think so.
6) If you find your root partition: if /boot is empty, you have a separate boot partition. You can check your fstab to see which one.
What caused? dunno
Was it something everybody experienced: no
Good luck! Just follow the instructions, it's not that hard.

[Solved] Can't boot arch after merge linux partition

Before this i have issue with my partition table, but i can fix it with testdisk.
After that, i merge all my linux partition into one. I mean like this
Before i merge my linux partition:
/ >> /dev/sda3
/var >> /dev/sda4
swapfile >> /dev/sda6
/home >> /dev/sda7
My new partition
/ >> /dev/sda3
swapfile >> /dev/sda6
i can't boot my arch after i backup and moved my home and var directory to /dev/sda3 with livecd.
How to fix this issue?
Last edited by nizar (2009-03-28 04:18:29)

Solved by myself! LOL
I edit and remove /dev/sda4 and /dev/sda7 in my /etc/fstab file with livecd.
Now, arch boot without /dev/sda4 and /dev/sda7

[SOLVED] Can not boot after mishap with clonezilla

Hi
I was trying to back up my computer with Clonezilla. It kept telling me that the drive I was trying to back up (the only hard drive in my laptop and only has Arch Linux installed on it) had a GPT and MBR partition table. I thought that this was odd so booted back into Arch Linux and loaded up gparted and it said that the drive was MBR. So I ran clonezilla again and it said about a command to run to remove the GPT if you are sure that you are using MBR so I went ahead (stupidly) and ran it thinking that everything would be ok and now I can not boot back into my Arch Linux. I just get a black screen with GRUB and a flashing cursor. I think the command that I ran was either:
gdisk -z /dev/sda
or
sdisk -z /dev/sda
I'm not too sure and I should have written it down or researched it first. (That will teach me.) I have booted the computer from a Knoppix DVD and can see all the partitions on the drive (root, swap and home) and also read all the data. I have tried to reinstall grub (install-grub /dev/sda deom the Arch install cd) but this has not worked. I hope that as will most things Linux I can fix this. Please can you point me in direction I need to go to fix this?
Thanks
Robert

Hi
I have fixed it. I ran testdisk from Knoppix and let it write out the partition table again as MBR then reinstalled grub from the Arch Linux install CD by doing the following from with in grub:
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
Lesson learnt. I'll read and research before just blindly running commands again. Thank you all for reading.
Thanks

[Solved] Can't boot new arch64 installation

I'm trying to give arch64 a go, I've installed it but I can't boot it.
I used the ftp install CD and went about the installation as though I would with arch32. Everything seem to install but on booting grub loaded the kernel and
Decompressing Linux...
Booting kernel...
is output to the screen then this single line is output:
kernel direct mapping tables up to 100000000 @ 8000 - 8000
and then it hangs. I then tried the install according to the arch64 installation page on the wiki, but used the ftp install iso as the 'host' rather than ubuntu or gentoo. No difference.
The machine is an AMD Athlon 64 2800; socket 754; newcastle core.
In fact full hardware specs are here, its the first machine listed.
I can boot the system using the kernel on the install CD, but I can't do much with it because the modules won't load, I expect because of the kernel on the CD is a different version to the one installed on the hdd.
How can I fix it?

APIC needed enabling in BIOS

Was working now not, Can not boot any more system error

I've got a Summer 2001 Snow iMac that was working under 10.3.9 but my attempt to back date has failed and now only get the classic OS 9 folder with a question mark which means can't find system files. It all started when I selected a OS 9.0.4 folder using the startup pref in 10.3.9 and now can't get it to do any thing. I have tried every thing I know but can't get it to boot up from the OS 9.0.4 or a 9.1 cd nor back to 10.3.9, not even holding down the option key works. The only thing I have are the two OS 9 disc, is there any thing I can do? I can get it to boot to the firmware mode but don't know any commands. PLease help.

A +Summer 2001+ iMac G3 cannot boot Mac OS 9.0.4. It came pre-installed with 9.1.
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac600graphite.html
Macs can generally boot a version of Mac OS that it came with, or LATER (up to hardware limitations), but NOT earlier. 9.0.4 is earlier than 9.1.
Try resetting PRAM.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
The startup disk setting is stored in PRAM. Resetting PRAM should clear the current setting and use a default choice (which hopefully will boot 10.3.9).
If that does not work, restart holding down the X key. That should force a restart with the installed Mac OS X system. If you get it to restart properly, trash that 9.0.4 system.

UCCX 8.0 CAD: Can you disable auto update? Error: "unable to download file" Could not open request.

I have a UCCX 8.0 (2) Installed.
Users here have limited access via proxy. Now everytime i try to run the CAD or CSD, i get the error:
"unable to download file" Could not open request.
It seems to want to install or check for an update.
The work around i have found is to go to the CAD directory and change the update.exe filename
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\CAD\bin\update.exe
i dont want to have to do this for every user as i possibly want the update.
Is there a way to allow or bypass proxy on CAD?
Regards
J

I had this problem before - to resolve it I disabled the proxy in internet explorer settings.
You'll need to make sure the CAD version matches your UCCX server version. Otherwise you may run in to issues.

Can't use Boot Camp due to error with files

I am trying to partition the hard drive on my mac and install windows so that i can run windows based programs and other reasons, but my mac is not new and it is harder than brain surgery to locate all the files i need to back up and the ones i dont. when i open boot camp, it starts partitioning the hard drive for a few minutes and i get the error message: The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved. Back up the disk and use disk utility to format it as single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again. i cant format the disk because the computer only has one disk. and i cant format it. Please help!

A very good way to handle this is to buy CarbonCopyClone ($40 download) and an external drive. Then clone your startup disk to the external, and clone it back.
What has happened is that after several years you have created so many tiny unused disk spaces (some only 1 or 2 blocks large) that OSX cannot relocate everything and make room. When you "clone back", all files will be in a large section at the bottom of the available disk space and there will be plenty of room for BootCamp.

[SOLVED] Can only boot with error in fstab

Hey there!
During boot I noticed a message, that /dev/sda4 (my /home-partition) gets passed a wrong option.
BUT when the system finished booting, everything works very well!
checking my fstab got me
/dev/sda4 /home ext4 default,noatime 0 2
which I corrected (adding the "s").
my new fstab:
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
#/dev/cdrom /media/cd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
#/dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /media/fl auto user,noauto 0 0
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda3 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
/dev/sda4 /home ext4 defaults,noatime 0 2
resulting in the problem, that "/home" isn't accessible and "/" is mounted as new home... (and login with slim doesn't work at all)
any ideas?
thanks for your answers!

Man, my fstab seems to be really crappy I think now..
(gonna change the order immediately )
more information:
when I log in with tty1 as normal user, it says
No directory, logging in with HOME=/
"mount /home"
gives me:
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda4 is already mounted on /home
mount failed
however, "ls /home"
gives me just the folder "lost & found" instead of my user-folder

[SOLVED] Can't boot from LUKS - No key available with this passphrase

The problem
Latest kbd package responsible for your keyboard layout may break some LUKS installs depending on the password used, as there are some keymaps which are broken, resulting in the user not being able to enter the password correctly.
Relevant bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36689
The fix
Find an old live image with the old kbd package (I had success with 2012.11.01)
Boot the image
Change to your preferred keymap using
loadkeys
Open your encrypted device with
cryptsetup luksOpen /path/to/device devicename
Mount the device and any other relevant mount points (such as /boot) and perform a chroot with
arch-chroot
Revert the kbd package. The latest working version is 1.15.5-4. If you didn't clean your cache, you should have a working version under
/var/cache/pacman/pkg
If not, either try finding the package manually, or build it using ABS.
Once the package is installed, confirm the keymap works by running loadkeys again and entering any keys that may have been problematic.
While still under chroot, rebuild the initramfs with
mkinitcpio -p linux
If this goes without any problems, you should be able to reboot to a working system.
Ever since I updated my system about a week ago, I cannot boot it anymore.
The root filesystem encrypted and since the update, I can't unlock it on boot anymore. Typing in my passphrase, I get the error No key available with this passphrase.
One thing that comes to mind is that the passphrase contains non-standard characters (Š for example), and I'm not sure if that's what might be causing problems?
Any ideas or tips on how can I debug this?
Another thing I've noticed is that if I drop into a recovery shell, the special characters on my keyboard aren't properly mapped. Š will print out C and it's hexdump seems invalid.
Edit:
Just noticed this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=148562
Will try to unlock it from a live distro. It doesn't seem to want to unlock with Arch live as the keymap seems wrong there as well.
