  • Systemd: Socket service syslog.service not loaded, refusing [SOLVED]

    I have installed systemd as mentioned in the wiki alongwith initscripts and I use "init=/bin/systemd" in kernel line to start it.
    I am getting this systemd error "Socket service syslog.service not loaded, refusing" at boottime. This is the only error that comes. I have tried to check the wiki and google and found following links:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=147640
    http://www.spinics.net/lists/hotplug/msg05295.html
    There is apparently a solution to this:
    http://www.spinics.net/lists/hotplug/msg05296.html
    But it is too technical for me to understand and implement; and it is not for Arch linux. Please help.

    You're suggesting running mpd as its own user?  If I did that, and configured mpd to output to 127.0.0.1, etc, would Pulse then be able to redirect the audio to another networked machine (since that's my end goal here)?  I don't want to end up having to put the other machine's IP directly in mpd.conf, since I won't always be running that way (since it's a laptop - sometimes I'll take it on the road and use headphones).
    Pulse can do that, yes, its very flexible that way. Doesn't matter where the audio comes from, really. Though as a disclaimer, I haven't tried it myself yet.
    Why not just set two outputs for mpd and toggle between them since it has native support? Doesn't sound like you really need pulseaudio.

  • [SOLVED] Can't get Steam to work, VirtualBox installation

    Hello!
    I'm having problems with getting Steam to work on my Arch Linux installation. I'm new to Linux so I'll just give you a prehistory & console output. I installed the distro on a virtual machine created in VirtualBox, installed xorg & KDE, I didn't install any video drivers because this is what wiki says:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox#Installation_steps_for_Arch_Linux_guests wrote:Note: You do not need to also install a specific video driver in the guest system. Install the Guest Additions instead.
    So I installed "virtualbox-guest-utils" package, created a file /etc/modules-load.d/virtualbox.conf with the following contents:
    vboxguest
    vboxsf
    vboxvideo
    Then I executed
    sudo systemctl enable vboxservice
    and rebooted the system. After the reboot I got the shared clipboard feature working => VBox Guest Additions seemed to work. Then I installed "steam" package, launched it via the terminal and waited for it to download it's updated. After Steam downloaded everything, I tried to launch it once again via terminal and got this:
    Running Steam on arch  64-bit
    STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically

    and a GUI window saying "OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display". I tried to find a solution on the internet but they all mentioned installing Nvidia drivers. And VirtualBox GPU != Nvidia GPU.
    Is there any way to solve this? Steam is working on my Fedora-VBox (this is the distro our lecturer uses as an example to teach us about Linux) installation out of the box.
    EDIT: forgot to mention that system is x86_64, multilib in enabled, 3D acceleration in VM settings is enabled.

  • [SOLVED] Can't get curl to work, among everything else

    No matter what form I put curl in, I can't see to get it to work. The various manuals I've read through <man> and online have all shown me different examples, but none work.
    I've tried <command> | curl -F 'sprunge=<-'http://sprunge.us' and it does... nothing.
    I've tried substituting ix urls and pastebin urls but it does nothing.
    I feel like a complete moron because everyone expects me to instantly understand what all this gibberish means, and no one else seems to have a problem uploading command text online.
    I've had trouble every step of the way installing arch, and its taken me four hours to slug through each problem. Right now I can't start fluxbox for some reason, but I can't get the errors here except for what I write down.
    Heres the error for that
    Xmodmap: unable to open display ''
    Error: Couldn't connect to XServer
    I've tried redirecting xmodmap to the keys but it did nothing. I've tried figuring out this xserver thing but my retardation has apparently gotten in the way.
    Is this normal? Does everyone feel like an 90 year old when they first jump into arch linux?

    Did what you said. PCM was the only one muted.
    Oddly, I recently started having the opposite problem.  KDE startup and other systems sounds have stopped playing.  All my other sound (mplayer, flash, etc) work fine.  I can play the startup sound fine when opening it via dolphin.  It just doesn't play on startup, or any other system sound.  I know this happened after a recent update but I am not sure what or when caused it.  Startup sound isn't that important to me but fixing it is.  No luck so far.

  • [SOLVED] Can't get any sound working at all

    I've just installed Arch again on my MacBook 5,2 and I can't get any sound (speakers or earphones) to work. I've tried the ALSA wiki page for troubleshooting, but none of that has worked. Does anyone have any ideas where to start with this?

  • [SOLVED] can't get flash to work

    First i tried copying the flashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins dir, but it didnt exists yet, so i did a searh and i found. This http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … bit_System  tried installing nspluginwrapper but it didnt work after restarting firefox. Tried manually installing the flashplater.so files again, since there was a dir there. Tried pacman -S flashplugin after i found that to be the most up to date way. None of this has worked, any ideas? I installed the 10.0.42.34 version. I never restarted anything other than firefox either. Thanx for any help.

    Yes, sorry about the editing, i just spent 10 minutes looking for the edit buttons and then the submit buttons, my new style made them invisible:P . I had a thought though. Before i installed gnome i had installed firefox, could i have installed a second copy while installing gnome or done something else to cause me difficulty? I like firefox but i guess i'll try getting flash to work in some other browsers and see how that goes.  Also, firefox isnt detecting any plugins in its add-ons section, perhaps thats a clue?

  • Can't get Airplay to work. Do not see icon

    Hello,
    I have updated FW on Airplay compatible receiver (Denon 2312), updated iPad 3 to ios6, opened the ports: TCP 443, TCP 5297 and UDP 5351 in NAT.
    MAC address authentication is disabled, I have WPA2 (mixed) password on wi-fi.
    Anyone has any tips on why it does not work? Did not work on ios5 either, just updated to 6 to see if it worked, but no..

    If your router is a dual 2.4 and 5Ghz router then one device could be connected on 2.4 while the other is on 5.
    You might want to get with your router manufacturer on how you see this, whether it is Bonjour compatible, and which setup on the router you need to use for the iDevice to see your receiver.

  • [SOLVED] Can't get network to work (realtek NIC)

    Hi there!
    I found Arch a couple of weeks ago and I got pretty excited with the possibility of taking my old Athlon 750MHz out of inactivity.
    Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the network to work.
    * I installed the system using Archlinux-i686-2007.08-2.core.iso
    * I have a little router and the machine has static IP

    The kernel module for
    Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+
    is 8139too I think
    So /etc/rc.conf should be like this
    # HARDWARE
    # Scan hardware and load required modules at bootup
    MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
    # Module Blacklist - modules in this list will never be loaded by udev
    MOD_BLACKLIST=()
    # Modules to load at boot-up (in this order)
    # - prefix a module with a ! to blacklist it
    MODULES=( 8139too forcedeth sk98lin slhc ac97_bus snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-seq-oss snd-seq-device snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-hwdep snd-$
    # Scan for LVM volume groups at startup, required if you use LVM
    USELVM="no"
    The first one is 8139too, so it will be eth0
    In my example the second one is forcedeth for nvidia ethernet controler, so its going to be eth1
    Don't forget to edit /etc/resolv.conf

  • [SOLVED] Can't get DE to work with catalyst

    Hey everyone,
    I got problems getting KDE/Fluxbox running. I've installed the latest catalyst drivers (11.6) from AUR. "aticonfig --initial" created the xorg.conf for me, which seems to be ok but it gives me this error:
    Found fglrx primary device section
    Fail to link to fglrx-libglx.so, please check wether driver is installed correctly
    I got two Radeon HD5850s. Is it necessary to connect those two cards with the crossfire cables? I did, but I think it doesn't make any difference if I don't, it's probably unrelated to my problem. When I try to "startx" this is what I got:

    Can anyone help?

    1- remove your catalyst an catalyst-utils driver build from AUR.
    2- remove fglrx from your modules, in my experience you don`t need it there unless you`re using catalyst-daemon.
    3- I recommend you use the Catalyst repository:
    [catalyst]
    Server = http://catalyst.apocalypsus.net/repo/catalyst/$arch
    4- Be sure to remove /etc/ati/
    5- update repositories and install catalyst and catalyst-utils from there
    6- finally follow this part of the wiki:
    After installing package you probably need to configure xorg. Using provided aticonfig tool is recommended:
    # aticonfig --initial
    (or for Dual Head: # aticonfig --initial=dual-head)
    And add nomodeset to your kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst , ie.:
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda1 ro nomodeset
    You may now reboot your system.
    I hope that works, also if you want you can ask in the The AMD/ATI Bar & Grill thread.

  • [SOLVED] Can't get Echinus to work

    Hello Arch users,
    I have installed Echinus from the AUR, but it doesn't seem to be working, or else I'm not doing something correctly.  I am using the example config from the Echinus Arch wiki.  I am using Slim as the display manager, and have configured Slim correctly as far as I know.  According to the Echinus Arch wiki, I am supposed to copy everything from /usr/share/examples/echinus to either /etc/xdg/echinus or to my home folder.  However, there is no /examples directory under /usr/share on my system.  Is this perhaps a depricated option, or am I missing something?
    Here is an excerpt from my slim.conf pertaining to echinus:
    echinus)
    exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session echinus
    Any help is appreciated.
    Last edited by hyperreal_logic (2012-06-04 19:03:02)

    Don't reinstall yet. If echinus is in /usr/bin, it built and installed correctly.
    When you say you see a black screen with a cursor when you start echinus with .xinitrc, do you mean a movable mouse pointer?
    If so, go back to using .xinitrc and startx; a blank screen with a movable mouse pointer is exactly what you should see when echinus starts. We can deal with your login manager issues later.
    If not, please tell me exactly what you see, and skip to step(5) below.
    Some simple rule out questions. First, run startx to start echinus.
    1. When you see the movable pointer and blank screen, what happens if you press ctrl-alt+q?
    2. Do you have xterm installed?
    3. If you have xterm, what happens if you press alt+t when you see the blank screen with movable pointer?
    4. If you don't have xterm, install it and try step 3 again.
    5. If none of these steps produce any useful result, switch to another tty and post output of
    ps ax | grep echinus
    If you get hung up again, you can kill echinus from another tty with
    pkill echinus
    (you won't need to reboot).
    I built echinus from the AUR yesterday and can run it successfully from .xinitrc/startx, so we should be able to fix this. I'm pretty sure I know why it doesn't show up in LXDM (it doesn't create a .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions), but we'll get to that later.
