[SOLVED] fresh install, xorg produces segmentation fault, latitude xt

Hi All,
I just installed arch for the first time on my latitude xt. I followed exactly the beginner guide and everything works fine. But I cant get xorg running.
My graphic-card is: ATI Radeon Xpress 1250 (Graphics Core RV410)
I installed the open-source driver
pacman -S xf86-video-ati
~/.xinitrc http://paste.pocoo.org/show/307856/
/etc/X11/xorg.conf http://paste.pocoo.org/show/307857/
/var/log/Xorg.0.log http://paste.pocoo.org/show/307862/
/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old http://paste.pocoo.org/show/307863/
lspci http://paste.pocoo.org/show/307867/
startx http://paste.pocoo.org/show/307873/
Please help me. I am stuck on this for several days now.

I added this line after my screen always went black during installation. Somebody mentioned that, and i added it without really knowing what this does. I forgot comletely about this.
Thank you so much, everything is working now!

I am having the same issue. I noticed it about a week ago. I hadn't updated in a bit, so I did. Same problem. When I reboot, it works the first time, but it won't work again after that.

[SOLVED] gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders Segmentation fault

When I update my packages via:
$ yaourt -Syu
I saw the error:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Then I found out the problem is about the binary file gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders.
When I run
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders
I get the error
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Is this a bug or did I do something wrong?
The file /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders is owned by package gdk-pixbuf2 (2.31.3-1), I tried compiling the package from source myself, that didn't solve the issue.
I am using kde (new plasma).

Have you recompiled cairo with --enable-gl? That's a bad thing to do.
I was using cairo-ubuntu from AUR. Considering it might be the cause, I tried installing default cairo, it didn't solve the issue.

[SOLVED] Fresh Install - LXDE - Missing Window Decorations

Hi folks,
I just did a fresh install on my netbook (Asus 1000h) which went flawless as allways. I did install Xorg, the relevant intel drivers, some small stuff like screen and the like and then went on to install LXDE as the desktop environment + the murrine gtk engine and some murrine themes. Everything is working, the murrine theme etc, except one thing: The window decorations are missing completely.
This is the first time sth. like that happened to me after a fresh install and I'm not really sure what could be missing and 3 hours after trying to delete my ~/.config ~./local folders (I'm using a backup of my ~ - I've checked permissions etc.) I'm ranning out of ideas. I'd be glad for any pointers as to how to debug this or what could possibly cause this.
Thanks in advance.

LXDE does not provide a window manager (and window decorator). They just strongly advise to use OpenBox. On ArchLinux, the group of packages "lxde" doesn't install OpenBox, so you have to install it by yourself, or install another WM. Then, you will need to configure the way you launch X so OpenBox is used.
You may refer to http://lxde.org/lxde .

[SOLVED] Fresh install read only file system

I just did a fresh install of Arch this morning, and I have been trying to fix it most of the day. I was following the Beginner's Guide in the wiki as close as I could. (There were a couple items that didn't quite match up.) I only edited the files that it told me to, and then just minor edits. I checked out /etc/fstab during the process and noticed that none of my hard drives were present. I didn't think this was normal, so I opened another terminal and grabbed the UUIDs with ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/. I have two hard drives, but only sda1 (/) and sda2 (swap) showed up. (sdb1 is the entire second hard drive as /home.) Here is the default fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <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
The example documentation indicated that the file should have lines similair to...
/dev/disk/by-uuid/6334340b-87f1-406e-a777-13210ba85887 / ext3 defaults,noatime,nodirtime 0 1
/dev/disk/by-uuid/5ffd6a40-6d72-4710-82af-ae894e557f89 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/disk/by-uuid/32935c6c-6b75-4039-6b69-21f8b805e8f8 /home ext3 defaults,noatime,nodirtime 0 2
...but then I found an example while searching around that showed the lines like this:
UUID=6334340b-87f1-406e-a777-13210ba85887 / ext3 defaults,noatime,nodirtime 0 1
UUID=5ffd6a40-6d72-4710-82af-ae894e557f89 swap swap defaults 0 0
UUID=32935c6c-6b75-4039-6b69-21f8b805e8f8 /home ext3 defaults,noatime,nodirtime 0 2
In the first scenario, everything boots like normal, but when I tried to do anything that required writing to disk, the operation failed with a message about the file system being read-only. (I was trying to edit some config files because I couldn't get online.) Mind you, I was working as root the whole time, because I hadn't even gotten to adding a user yet. The only way I could make changes was to boot a live cd, mount, edit, reboot. remember to remove the live cd, reboot again, repeat.
In the second version of fstab, the bootup process kept trying to check the disk for errors. When it was done it wanted to reboot. Then it tried to check again (presumably because it couldn't save the fact that it had already checked).
I am at a loss. I really wish to use Arch Linux. I've been baby-fed for quite a while on Ubuntu, but it always ran slow. Please somebody help me! I am happy to provide more information; just let me know what you need.

Thank you so much for pointing out that typo! Turns out that is what was wrong. Well plus two of uuids had one typo each....
Also from what I can tell it doesn't matter which format I use for the uuids in fstab. I will use the UUID=xxxxx... version unless somebody can tell me why I shouldn't.

[SOLVED] Fresh Install, won't boot past grub

I did a fresh install of Arch (GPT partitioning table) with a 8 GB root directory, 138 GB home directory, 4 GB swap, and a 1007 KB bios boot partition. Everything went well, I got through the installation with no problems, but when I rebooted the computer. It showed this after the grub menu: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-UM-3 … 2014-06-22
So now my question is, was I supposed to do anything extra during the installation process? Or is this a hardware problem? Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Lubuntu, and Zorin OS works fine so I'm assuming I need to do something extra during installation...

You can do it one of two ways: boot the install cd/usb, mount all the partitions as in the original installation process, then chroot. From there you can just use pacman to install packages as it it were a normal system: `pacman -S linux-lts`.
There is, however, no need for the chroot. The alternative, and somewhat simpler, approach would be to boot the install media and mount the partitions as above, then use the pacstrap tool just like you did when installing the 'base' group: `pacstrap -i /mnt linux-lts`.
I think it is safer to arch-chroot because you still need to be chrooted to generate your grub.cfg "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg"

[SOLVED]Trouble installing xorg + gnome

I'm currently running a core installation of Arch on my virtual box. I have Internet connection and Pacman works. I've installed xorg but when I type startx it brings me to a weird DE thats just 3 terminals. I tried installing gnome but I got a bunch of errors. Then I tried again and I get errors like :: Retrieving packages from core...
error: failed retrieving file 'perl-.12.1-3-1686.pkg.tar.xz' from mirrorls.kernel.org : Connection timed out
etc...
Then it says
warning: failed to retrieve some files from core
error: failed to commit transaction (Not Found)
Errors occured, no packages were upgraded.
It's really weird(and annoying). Can anybody offer some help?

Weird. When I type startx is starts some type of DE. Don't know why .xinitrc wouldn't be there.
Once Xorg is installed you can test it by running startx the funny three windows you see is twm
If you wish to install Gnome then use Arch wiki to guide you, add a login manager of your choice
From the looks of your first post you need to make sure mirrors network and pacman are all set up too
MrG
I'm pretty sure mirrors are set up correctly. I commented out the first two(The mirrors.kernel.org). And pacman can get other packages like sudo correctly.

Can't find anything worthwhile in logs etc., and I can't think of anything that could be causing this?
I checked that the HAL user exists and has been added to the default groups, but that "???"-part is alarming.
DBus starts up normally.
Networking and "lo" seem to be working fine as well, and I don't have iptables up.

Ah, haven't been up to date on all the changes, it seems...
In the past I've had problems with the nvidia driver + Xorg without HAL, I think?
Anyhow, contrary to the Xorg page, I had no 20-nvidia.conf. I created that and now I'm able to startx without HAL but KDM doesn't work, the screen flickers when it attempts to start Xorg but then it crashes. Strange. Nothing in the Xorg logs either.
I'll have to see about that next, but it's nice to be able to get rid of HAL at least.

[SOLVED] Fresh Install Error - Issue with PGP Key 4096R/753E0F1F

Hello Guys,
This is my first topic. I have done all the research in this forum and in Google for the issue, with no luck in finding a solution. I have done several Arch linux installs before on Virtual Machines and PC's all of them working properly, except for this one that I can not get to pass the install phase.
Description of Hardware:
HP Laptop Pavilion Entertainment PC dv2-1030us
Athlon AMD Processor
4 GB RAM
300GB HD
ATI Video Card
Broadcom wireless Card (Default drivers Not Working)
Wired Network Card (Working)
I'm trying to install Arch from USB drive created from another arch machine via:
sudo dd if=/name_of_file.iso of=/dev/sdX
Using Arch Version:
Current Release: 2014.08.01
Included Kernel: 3.15.7
ISO Size: 559.0 MB
The above bootleable USB drive have been used to install Arch in another machine currently running it.
After creating the partitions on the drive, namely:
BOOT
SWAP
ROOT
HOME
And formatting them accordingly to the install guide, and having the system ready to download all the base and base-devel packages via:
pacstrap -i /mnt base base-devel
Right after it finishes downloading I get the following error:
downloading required keys in keyring...
:: Import PGP key 4096R/753E0F1F, "Anatol Pomozov <[email protected]>", created: 2014-02-04? [Y/n] y
error: key "Anatol Pomozov <[email protected]>" could not be imported
error: required key missing from keyring
error: failed to commit transaction (unexpected error)
Errors occurred, no packages were installed.
==> ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root
I first ignored the error and then tried to proceed with the installation process and executed the following sequences of commands:
genfstab -U -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
and then tried to chroot with:
arch-chroot /mnt
Then i got the following error:
mount: mount point /mnt/etc/resolv.conf does not exist
chroot: failed to run command "/bin/sh": No such file or directory
Here is list of the Topics i Found in this forum that throw some light into the issue, some of the solutions I have tried with no luck at all:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=185089
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=181057
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=178185
I hope you can help find a direction where to start fixing this issue, since i feel pretty lost right now. By the way I'm a Newbie in the Arch Linux world, so there are a lot of thing that are not that obvious to me...
Thank you in advance.

I've had the same issue with an (outdated) Arch Linux iso. As far as I am aware, it is caused by pacman's keys becoming out of date.
I've managed to get around this before, but the exact method eludes me.
You could try just updating the archlinux-keyring package, by refreshing pacman (pacman -Sy), then reinstalling only that package (try pacman -S archlinux-keyring).
Then you should be able to continue as normal.
Note that this only affects the CD filesystem in RAM - it will not persists across reboots using the CD.
The reason why this might work is that the package archlinux-keyring might not be signed by the key you were having issues with. If it still fails, you could temporarily set the SigLevel for the core repo to 'Never', however this does disable package signing, at least until you reset the SigLevel.
Unfortunately, I could not replicate the problem in a Qemu VM, so I'm not sure how good my method is. Hopefully, it fixes the problem.
Here are some links that might help shed some light:

Hopefully this is helpful!

[Solved] Fresh install, KDE input responses studdering

Hi,
I've been searching the Wiki and forums here for about 30 minutes and cant find anything that covers what's going on. I'm not sure whether to look at my VM that I'm running Arch through, or at my config of Arch itself.
I installed Arch with a KDE desktop and everything installed and booted fine. I have my VM open and I can see the desktop just fine. Mouse performance (of which I pacman'd xf86-input-mouse) since it's just a Dell touchpad on my Vostro. When I try to type in the Konsole, I will randomly get multiple key presses (again, just installed basic keyboard input) as if its all of the sudden getting multiple inputs from that keystroke. The mouse, also is very studdery and will halt every 1/4 of a second or so.... not nearly gliding across the screen as it should.
My laptop has one of those Intel GMA 4500 HD mobile video cards in it. I pacman'd the xf86-intel-video package and then installed KMS (I think it was)... either way, followed the wiki on that and still have no change in performance. I'd like to find out where to start looking.
My laptop is pretty beefy. Its a Core Duo 2 running at 2.2Ghz on 3Gb of RAM. I allocated 100Gb of disk space in a VM and 1Gb of memory to Arch. Suggestions?

Wow... thanks for the overwhelming response. All of these suggestions really helped me figure it out on my own.

[SOLVED] Fresh install, Two failures and hang

Solution: Needed to mount my boot partition (EF filesystem) to /boot/efi instead of /boot. Using rEFInd
Hi, so I've read the beginners guide inside and out and I'm having the most difficult time installing arch.
I've probably wiped it at least a dozen times and everything seems like it is going to start up and I get a few failures on startup which results in a hang afterwards
1)
[FAILED] Failed to start Create Volatile Files and Directories.
see 'systemctl status systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service' for details.
2) (this one cycles 6 times before hang)
[FAILED] Failed to start login service.
See 'systemctl statuse systemd-logind.service' for details.
x6
Then I get
[OK] Reached Target Multi-User System.
[OK] Reached target graphical interface.
then the hang where I can't do anything but hold down my power button.
I tried restarting the system with my liveCD (usb) and mounting up my directories and looking into the systemd files but they just say they load ok and there aren't any issues.
I've scoured google and really can't find anything to fix this issue. Any advice would be welcome for sure!
I know I can install Arch on this laptop because I was successful once. But then I wiped it to try out OpenSUSE, and since then I can't get passed these errors.
Thanks in advance!

Edit: Because there are two linux boot managers that prompted me to explore them in my options. The first one 0000 returns an error saying a bootable device needs to be inserted. The second one 0001 loads the boot screen but displays the error. My harddrive just displays a blinking cursor that doesn't do anything. Almost as though after the errors I get through the linux boot manager, it passes on to my hard drive and it can't do anything....
ran the create microsoft directory code and such. Rebooted. No change. I'm going to run the other debug things you mentioned.
Tried booting from UEFI shell. When I ran cd \EFI\arch I get "target directory not found" and \EFI\archlinux also gets target directory not found
OK it is not entirely clear what the boot process is doing here and it looks like the most likely problem is a gummiboot config error. Your boot order in the efibootmgr command shows that entry 0001 is the first one that it will try which you have as "linux boot manager" - which presumably will find the gummiboot entry but perhaps it is not configured correctly. Certainly you don't have any \EFI\arch or \EFI\archlinux directories since you previously quoted the contents of the /boot/EFI/ directory using the ls -l command. in \EFI\ there are only a Boot and a Gummiboot directory.
I am not clear why you had to run the command that created the boot entries twice but presumably the entry at boot0000 is likely invalid from the first attempt. You can use the efibootmgr command to delete nvram entries as well as recreate them. I expect it might be a good idea to delete entry 0000, and maybe also 0001 and then create a new entry yourself using the efibootmgr command.
When you say that entry 0001 "loads the boot screen" - do you mean that it does successfully start the gummiboot bootloader but that gummiboot then fails to load the kernel? If so then that would suggest that the problem lies with the gummiboot configuration files, but that the uefi boot process does start correctly and loads gummiboot. If that is the case then I would probably delete the nvram entry 0000 and then make sure that the default order was showing that the first entry that will be tried will be gummiboot (which seems to have its entry as "linux boot manager". I don't use gummiboot myself so I don't have knowledge of what its boot screen looks like.
You can use the efibootmgr command to write a new entry similar to :
efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sdX -p Y -l /EFI/Gummiboot/gummiboot.efi -L "Gummiboot"
where sdX is the drive you have for ESP, and Y is the partition number. So in your case sdX is sda and Y is 3 if your partitions are as you reported previously. Using this command will then give an entry in the nvram called Gummiboot rather than "linux boot manager". For the meaning of the parameters see the output of the command "man efibootmgr".
Check the man command for efibootmgr to see how to remove and reorder the boot entries in nvram. Make sure that the entries and boot order are sane before trying to reboot. Also make sure you only delete the entries that you created and not the ones that will boot to the usbkey or the CD.
If this does start Gummiboot correctly then you need to diagnose why gummiboot is not loading the arch kernel correctly. You can follow the wiki page at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gummiboot and set up a manual entry to load the arch kernel as the file /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf containing:
title Arch Linux
linux /vmlinuz-linux
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
options root=PARTUUID=14420948-2cea-4de7-b042-40f67c618660 rw
Here the PARTUUID value to the right of the = sign is the value relating to your root partition which is in your case the output of
blkid -s PARTUUID -o value /dev/sda1
Perhaps this will help pinpoint where the problem lies. Certainly it is looking increasingly like your gummiboot config files are where the boot fails.
If you did want to try to launch your arch kernel from the uefi shell then boot to uefi shell v2 as you seem to have tried before. In your case you will need to tell the uefi shell where the kernel and initrd files are so presuming that your files system is defined as fs0 then from the shell in your case it would then be:
> fs0:
> cd \EFI\
> vmlinuz-linux root=PARTUUID=14420948-2cea-4de7-b042-40f67c618660 rootfstype=ext4 add_efi_memmap initrd=EFI/initramfs-linux-img
Since the kernel and initrd files in your case are named vmlinuz-linux and initramfs-linux-img respectively. Again the numerical value of the PARTUUID is as before the output of the blkid I quoted before.
You only need to change directory to \EFI\ since your kernel and initrd are in /boot in your case. All of these commands have to be carefully adapted to your specific case and can't just be cut and pasted from the wiki entry which only has sample commands in many cases.
I hope this helps.

[SOLVED]fresh install of arch 2009.2, but can't install xfce4

Hello all,
I'm not new to Linux or any of the *BSD's, been at it for quite a few years. I am new to Arch, though.
I really like what I've learned about it so far, and really want to embrace it as a main system, but I'm having a hard time getting off the ground. I want to install xfce4, but I keep getting this error:
xfce4-settings: conflicts with xfce-mcs-manager
It errors-out immediately. I read about a similar error in this forum, but never really discovered a fix.
Please help, and much appreciated in advance.

You could be a little more specific.
Conflicting packages are:
libxfce4mcs
xfce-mcs-manager
xfce-mcs-plugins
And some more conflicts in the optional xfce4-goodies group:
notification-daemon-xfce
xfce4-screenshooter-plugin
xfce4-xmms-plugin
Those packages should be ignored for a successful XFCE 4.6 installation.

[SOLVED] Fresh install unable to login via KDM

Hi,
This is my first time installing Archlinux but I'm having problems getting past kdm.
Initially, while doing some testing before initializing kdm to startup on boot, I was able to go into KDE via startx, I added kdm and now it doesn't work.
KDM does start, and when it goes in, when I enter my login info and login, it pops me back at the login screen.
Things I've done:
1) Cleared my home directory
2) Checked /var/log/kdm.log
It seems that on every successful login, it appends this chunk into log:
record: RECORD extension enabled at configure time.
record: This extension is known to be broken, disabling extension now..
record: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/showbug.cgi?id=20500
I don't know how I can proceed now.
Any help?
Edit: However, if I kill kdm, and run startx, I get right into KDE.
Edit: So HAL wasn't added to rc.conf. My bad.
Last edited by nubity (2009-11-29 09:32:15)

Okay, some progress: reinstalled dbus and now I'm able to login using kdm and a new user account.
I'm now trying to figure out what makes the new user different. Assuming it is some config file, I already renamed some directories to exclude them, but no success yet.
