[solved]Dependency cycles detected when installing Arch 2008.06

Hey guys!
I wanted to reinstall Arch64. But when it comes to install packages the installation fails: "Dependency cycle detected: ** will be installed before its glibc dependency". I tried the core and the ftp install cd. checksums are allright. Normally I would do a pacman -f, but it's in the setup.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

It means that these two packages, directly or indirectly, are mutually dependent. Normally pacman installs dependencies of packages before the package itself, but this creates a catch-22 when packages depend on each other. In these cases, pacman is allowed to temporarily ignore (--assume-installed) one of the mutually dependent packages to install the other, as long as it is sure that both of them can be installed within the same pacman invocation. At least that's my understanding.
Great explanation. thanks. Marking as solved.

"dependency cycle detected" warnings when installing nvidia driver

I'm getting two "dependency cycle detected" warnings when installing nvidia driver on a fresh arch system:
xorg-server will be installed before its nvidia-libgl dependency
harfbuzz will be installed before its freetype2 dependency
Is that normal?

It's not 'normal' but if everything is working fine, no need to worry. They're just warnings, not errors.

im trying to upgrade arch, it worked a couple days ago, but the downloads never completed after several tries, i have the 650MB downloads dwindled down to about 300MB left. after trying to finish the downloads yesterday i got a pacman update warning. so i updated pacman. after the pacman update, these problems appeared. Now when i pacman -Syu i get the above error now.
i cant seem to figure out where to go. i tried to remove a few components to overcome this problem, but i ran into dependency-hell. im reluctant to force remove anything without opinion.
it appears that i need to
pacman -Rd
one of the mentioned packages in the error message, but im not sure which one.
the only packages that i know that use these gcc-libs that i use are amarok, and deadbeef. did i mess something up when installing these?
also, see this topic, its similar https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103816

This usually happens when the toolchain gets an update -- multilib lags behind by a day or two. Looks like we just pushed out the the multilib toolchain today, so I'd wait a few hours for your mirror to sync up and then try again.

Will re-install of System Solve "Getting "try again" when installing..."

Have yet to solve "Getting "try again" when installing software..." posted yesterday. Also note inability to perform Safe Boot. Will re-installation of System software (Tiger) restore the functions lost?
If I'm obliged to do this, any tips on how to: 1) preserve my Internet settings, including Bookmarks; 2)saved (not yet deleted) emails; and (3) my Address book? Where are they? how do I identify these files? Can I do some sort of backup before I go to Install?

For the convenience of others, here is the list to the other topic:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9414774#9414774
The basic problem appears to be disk directory corruption. It is very unlikely reinstalling the OS will cure that since you also appear to want to preserve all your files. In fact, reinstalling the OS might create more damage to your files since the computer has lost track of some of them and might just overwrite them not knowing they are there.
You either need to try to repair the directory using Diskwarrior (since DU apparently failed), or you need to wipe the drive (and all your files) then reinstall your OS. If doing the second option you should, of course, back up your data files first. However I can't help but feel when people mention backing up a damaged directory that your backups may be incomplete since, again, the computer has lost track of some parts of the files and may not make a complete copy. If I was in your situation, and could afford it, I'd go for getting a copy of Diskwarrior so you can actually repair your drive. If I couldn't afford it I would back up my data files, wipe the drive, then reinstall everything again from scratch, then copy the data files back on and keep my fingers crossed that none of them was part of the corruption.

[SOLVED] mkdir: missing operand error when installing Arch

I am on my first attempt of installing Arch Linux and when i type the command /arch/setup i get the following error
Welcome to Arch Linux Installation Framework
/usr/lib/libui.sh: line 120: /usr/bin/dirname: Input/output error
mkdir: missing operand
Try 'mkdir --help' for more information.

I am attempting to install from an ISO cd i burned.
I am extremely new to this and searched the Installation section of the forum with no luck. Thanks for any help.

I am using the 2010.05-core image. I tried installing on a different machine and it worked. I swapped the harddrive and it worked this time, but i received the following error before the arch boot screen came up.
Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 82944
I must have missed this error the first time by not paying attention, because the process continues after repeating the error a few times.

[SOLVED]How exactly do you install Arch using UEFI?

I want to switch my laptop to UEFI. I have a few questions I'd like to ask.
* Does UEFI require a bios boot partition?
* If not but I add a bios boot partition and efi partition is it true I can boot into my system both with UEFI enabled and not enabled?
Will the following set my laptop to use UEFI?
Create a partition scheme as follows;
1. bios boot -- about 2mb -- ef02
2. efi boot partition -- about 200mb (is this size about right?) -- fat32
3. root -- 8300
4. swap
5. home -- 8300
Then when I mount everything I make sure to mount the efi partition like
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot/efi
It goes to /boot/efi right?
Then when installing GRUB, I install it like;
grub-install --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=grub_uefi --recheck
And finally I'd run the
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Is that the gist for the most part?

Here is what I did,
I booted Arch install media (not from UEFI).
I made my partition scheme is gdisk:
1. 2M -- ef02 -- BIOS boot
2. 500M -- ef00 -- efi
3. 30G -- 8300 -- root
4. 12G -- 8200 -- swap
5. 195G -- 8300 -- home
I then did my mkfs:
mkfs.ext2 /dev/sda2
mkfs.fat -s2 -F32 /dev/sda2
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda3
mkswap /dev/sda4
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda5
When I first made my file extensions I made the mistake of not making the efi partition fat32. I knew it had to be fat32 and I wasn't sure if just making it ef00 was enough. So I searched Google. I didn't find much so I pushed forward.
I eventually got an error when trying to do grub-install, it said /dev/sda2 does not look like and efi partition.
So I thought about it, was it the size I chose, was it that I was just putting it in /boot, was it not fat32? I immediately decided it must not be fat32. And I was right. After a search I discovered I needed to do mkfs.fat. So I did this and success! Grub installed everything where it needed to be. (So it is true when they say Arch doesn't care if you have /boot/efi or /boot/EFI. Just using /boot is enough. That is fact.)
But now I had another error. I forgot to install efibootmgr package... By this time I thought I had it so I started all over. This was actually my laptop so I wasn't going to give it more than two tries. So I started from scratch. A second and final try...
I set up my partition scheme, did my mk stuff, and mounted all of my filesystems. Then Installed the base and base-devel packages. I went into arch-chroot on /mnt and then into a bash..
I went through a couple of basic setup things and then I installed grub and efibootmgr. I then ran
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=grub_uefi --recheck
Hooray! No errors reported! I checked /boot and everything was there and laid out perfectly!
So I did the grub-mkconfig..... And rebooted.
But it wouldn't boot!
I started to dig around the Arch wiki and read it is a good idea to start out in UEFI mode and go into the install media and proceed. So I tried this in a VM. The Arch install media would not start in UEFI mode. So I just came to the conclusion that there is something I am missing. Either in GRUB or something I don't understand about my laptop.
I installed Fedora 21 in a VM out of UEFI mode and then again where I started out in UEFI mode. Starting out in UEFI mode did seem to make a difference. I just gave up on my laptop and installed it back with bios and no UEFI. I'm going to dig around and see if I can find what I'm doing wrong.
Could it boil down to not being able to start out in UEFI mode and then switch back into UEFI mode after install? I highly doubt it. There is just something I'm missing..
Marking this as solved. Thanks everyone.
Edit:
Starting out in UEFI mode made the difference! I just wasn't being patient with my VM. Starting out in UEFI mode and then performing the install makes the difference! After following that process I can boot into Arch using UEFI!
Also, I mentioned I couldn't get Arch install media to start in UEFI. That was my fault. When i created my usb i didn't make it a UEFI bootable device! So I would go into my boot options and I would see UEFI but my usb only showed in the legacy list.

When installing Server 2008 Datacenter from disc, I get the error message "Windows could not parse or process the unattent answer file for pass [specialize].

This is a clean install from s disc onto a 3TB GPT drive. This is for testing. I'm not concerned with finding a more practical solution for this installation.
There is no image or answer file involved. But at the "Completing Installation" phase, I receive this error message about an answer file.
Has anyone else expecrienced this problem? The only results I find here are regarding actual imaging with answer files.
EDIT: [Redacted]
EDIT 2: Since this now happens with every single installation of Server 2008 on this system, I feel the need to keep this open and elaborate on my situation.
I originally installed Server 2008 on the 2TB partition of this 3TB drive. The partition type was MBR. I reinstalled it (there was a false alarm for malicious software) since it was a fresh install without updates or anything else installed. And for the
second time, it installed fine.
I decided to make the most of my 3TB drive and try GPT partitioning. So I went into the command prompt > diskpart > ran "clean" on the disk, then "convert GPT"
That is when I tried another install of Server 2008 and received this error message about an answer file.
I decided to convert it back to MBR and get on with what I wanted to test in the first place. So I went into Diskpart again, ran "clean", rand "convert MBR" and started the install. But this resulted in the same error message about an
answer file.
I went back to Diskpart, "clean"ed the disk, ran "convert dynamic" to make sure it was dynamic, then tried the install again, with the same result.
Now, I've tried installing on the disk as GPT, MBR basic and MBR dynamic. I've tried a different installation disc, as well. I got the same result. At this point, I'm going to switch hard drives, but I'm still open to input. Thanks for reading!

Hi,
As you swapped the hard disk, whether the same issue occurs again if you redo the same steps?
I asked "OEM or retail" because of this known issue:
"Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass [specialize]" error message when you perform an in-place upgrade in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2425962
An answer file may already contain in the disc which causes the issue.
If issue still exists you can click Shift + F10 during the installation process to see the log. Check if the installation error for detailed information.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

[Solved] Boot process hangs for installed Arch and installation usb

Hi. I've been using Arch Linux for around 6 months now and I'm in love with it. It is now my primary OS. However, I might have done something or performed some update, and I can no longer boot into Arch. The boot process hangs right before it should show the login screen (I'm using Gnome 3.6 with GDM). I see the following messages on the screen:
Loading Linux core repo kernel ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
/dev/sda3: recovering journal
/dev/sda3: clean, 330610/1749664 files, 5585671/6996827 blocks
And then it hangs right there. I have to hard-reboot after this.
I then tried to boot using the Arch Linux Installation USB (archlinux-2012.12.01-dual.img), which also hangs at a particular point, before it should show me the prompt. I took a picture of the screen where it hangs: Screen Capture. This is an issue with just my laptop, because the USB boots just fine on another laptop I tried.
I also have Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.10 installed on my system, and I'm able to boot into both of them.
I have 2 hard drives: /dev/sda is a 120GB SSD, and /dev/sdb is a 500GB hard disk. My partitions are as follows:
sda1 - Windows 7 100MB System Reserved Partition (boot flag enabled)
sda2 - Windows 7 OS
sda3 - ArchLinux (boot flag enabled)
sdb1 - Ubuntu 12.10 (boot flag enabled)
sdb2 - Just data

Ok.. So my Arch Linux randomly decided to work. I'm sure I didn't do anything between my last "not working" state and my current "working" state. Below are a few things I tried:
I thought of trying an earlier build of ArchLinux, and downloaded archlinux-2012.11.01-dual.iso and made a bootable USB out of it. It still hung.
I was getting error messages during Arch boot that the last access time for the disks was at a future date. I found out that Ubuntu was using localtime instead of UTC and screwing up my hardware clock. I fixed it, and thought maybe the time issues were causing the boot problem. But fixing time didn't solve my problem.
I chrooted into Arch from my Ubuntu install, ran 'sudo pacman -Syyu' and updated my Arch install.
I thought maybe GDM isn't starting up. I re-enabled the service using 'systemctl enable gdm.service'.
I removed OpenNTPd and installed NTPd. Enabled the daemon using 'systemctl enable ntpd'
None of the above solved the problem, and rebooting to Arch still hung the system. So I stopped fiddling with it yesterday. Today, as usual, I just tried logging into Arch.. And it just worked out of the blue. The solution to me is as mysterious as the problem.
I told this to my friend who introduced me to Arch, and this is what he said:
Damn it computers, you were supposed to be deterministic!

Stuck at space check when installing CR 2008 V1

Dear experts,
I am trying to install CR 2008 V1 on my PC and after entering product ID and choosing "Typical" install, I clicked <Next> to check disk space requirements.
That has been looping indefinitively. I've tried several time...
When I cancel this step, I can't move forward.
But it does not seem to work...
Do you know what's wrong??
Kind regards,
Alice

Hello to both,
I have installed the BOE XI 3.1available for free (according to CCM the version = 2.0.1.0.)
But to go back to the Crystal Reports appli (CR2008 V1)
I'm actually stuck at a later stage now.
Somehow, when I disconnect from the LAN, the install went through.
So CR seems to be installed on my PC...
The problem is that I am getting the CRW32.exe message when I launch it.
Some Dll is missing.
"Procedure entry point ?PrintLegend@CMapXLegend@CSLib300@@QAEXJJJJJ@Z counld not be located in the dynamic link library cslibu-3-0.dll
I am going to research that.
Thanks for your help!

When installing Arch, the install packages error's and says 'could not

I am trying to install Arch on virtual box but when I try to run install packages (base+base-devel) it always throws 'installation failed'. When I look for the problem, it says 'could not satisfy depencies.'.
Prior to this, Arch had problems in downloading few packages from a mirror but it seems to have gotten every package when I tried several different mirrors.
Screenshot of the problem: http://i.imgur.com/7KWAk.png
I have checked the mirror status from here http://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/ and tried following mirrors:
ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/
ftp://mirror.archlinux.fi/archlinux/
ftp://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/archlinux/
http://mirror.academica.fi/archlinux/

Check the md5 of the image, and check your vbox settings, so that you have enough hdd and mem, and that the partitions are big enough and then install base(+base-devel if wanted) and don't enable any of the repos other than the local core repo, and this should work, as i've tested the images many times latelly...
Edit: I see from your screenshot that you're downgrading alot of packages e.g. kernel 3.1.5 to 3.0.3, and that must be because you've first tried installing from the net, and then when something failed, you've gone back and deselected net-install and choosed to install from local core repo, which would do that then, so my advice is simply to start over(reboot), or again remake your blockdevices, so there's insn't allready a bunch of packages with wrong versions installed...

Multiprocessor_configuration_not_supported Blue screen when installing Win 2008 on D10

Hello,
Finally, I got my new D10. Took about 1 1/2 month to ship.
(2) E5430 Quad Core CPU
24 GB memory
(2) 2 TB HD's
Was planning on installing Windows 2008 on this machine.
Go to boot of the DVD where the disc is located. I then get a blue screen with the error that
multiprocessor_configuration_not_supported
I've done some research and I've seen some posts saying upgrade the bios. I checked and my Bios it as the newest release.
In the mean time I've tried install Vista 64 & Windows 2003 64 and both installed with no issues ( got past all of the controller SATA / SAS Controller drivers)
So I'm stumped right now.
Thanks

did both of your E5430 processors come installed in the D10 from lenovo or did you source one or both of them on your own?
if so, boot into vista and check the processors using CPU-Z. make sure each have the same core stepping values . both should be C0 or E0 but not one of each. also make sure that you don't have an E5430 and an L5430 as this will cause problems, too.

[SOLVED] Pacman error when installing Arch from installation cd

Hey I''ve been checking the wiki, forum and even google and I've found some responses but they don't seem to apply to my problem and I just need a little help.
I'm at the 4th step "Select Packages" and when I select it I get "Pacman preparation failed! Check /dev/tty7 for errors"
the error on tty7 is "pacman: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libalpm.so.4: cannot read file data: Input/output error"
I apologize if this is an easy fix but its been almost a year since I've used arch and I'm a bit spoiled with ubuntu.
****The cd was outdated. Burning a new copy fixed it*****
Last edited by Rabbit (2012-01-03 01:40:33)

I'm afraid it might be too old. I'm going to try to burn a new copy tomorrow when I can borrow a friends computer. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something real simple before I gave up.

Uncertainty with grub-bios, grub-install when installing Arch

Hi guys.
I decided to reeinstall Arch on my T400 laptop since I threw in a new SSD and some 8GB of RAM and given the fact the old install (which btw is running just fine) was on GRUB legacy.
There is one thing I'm not sure of and I hope somebody could clarify on this matter. The GRUB(2) wiki page has three ways of configuring the MBR (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GR … ode_region). It seems that neither the official installation guide, nor in the beginners guide seem to clarify if this step is mandatory during the installation via pacstrap. Maybe even pacstrap deals with this during the installation process? I really don't get it. I watched some Arch install vids on youtube, and nobody seems to pay this step any attention...
Before I forget here comes my partitioning scheme:
gdisk-configured GPD
1 partition --> 2 MiB partition --> no file-system
2 partition --> rest of the disk -->ext4 (discard, noatime, that kinda stuff in /etc/fstab)
So, what is the deal with that three steps described in the GRUB wiki post?
Many thanks in advance

Install grub-bios boot files
There are 3 ways to install GRUB(2) boot files in BIOS booting:
#Install_to_440-byte_MBR_boot_code_region (recommended) ,
#Install_to_Partition_or_Partitionless_Disk (not recommended),
#Generate_core.img_alone (safest method, but requires another BIOS bootloader like grub-legacy or syslinux to be installed to chainload /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img).
This is the part I don't quite understand. Do I need to perform one of these steps when I do a fresh install as I did? Is this step somewhere implicitly performed during the installation (by pacstrap perhaps)?
Hope I was able to clarify...
Thanks
It is little tricky to understand. Install to 440 byte MBR boot code region means that you need the first 2048 sectors to store grub's information. It does not mean you need to make a 2 MB partition . For example if your hard disk have 100000 sectors then you need to make the partitions from 2048th sector[leaving first 2048 sectors(0-2047) alone] which means you have 97952 sectors left. By default when you partition using "fdisk" it automatically leaves the first 2MB and start form 2048th sector.
Edit reason: typo
...well I don't quite know about the last statement. From where I'm standing I understand that post [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GR … structions] as to create a dedicated partition with a EF02 flag. That leaves you with a minimum of 2 partitions (1 filesystemless + 1 root) plus the 2 MiB gap in the very front of the drive.
I think zero_one's first reply kinda confirms that. But then again, I might be wrong all along...
Cheers
