[SOLVED]grep in bashrc not found in root user

Crap nothing to see here when I went to post the contents of the bashrc from root I noticed the PS1 had a call to grep in that manner and could have sworn I verified before posting.
Mods delete if you wish sorry for the noise and wasted space !!!
I have a couple things in my bashrc for root and a day or two ago I noticed when I sudo su to root it now says
bash: /bin/grep: No such file or directory
Nothing in my bashrc calls grep in any manner other than just "grep" there are no calls to it by a full path nor the path its stating. Any ideas on what I might have done? Grep still works as root of course and the error does not show up as my regular user and the part in bashrc for both users are the same that have the grep call in it.
Thanks for your time and help.
edit: the dawning on myself im a tard and man you guys on the forums are the fastest on the net I think, SO AWESOME to me

[SOLVED] FATAL: module nvidia not found

Hi
I have been working on setting arch up on my laptop the past couple of days. It's a Thinkpad T61 with an NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M gpu.
I started with the nouveau driver and all was working fine, but I decided to switch to the propriatery driver to see if it had any better power saving features.
Well, I installed 'nvidia-utils 275.09.07' with pacman > ran 'nvidia-xconf' > reboot. All I got was a few GDM failed to start error messages.
So I start digging around the xorg log and what not, tried simply running startx. Turns out the 'nvidia' module is nowhere to be found.
If I 'modprobe nvidia'
FATAL: Module nvidia not found.
So I tinker with it a bit more with no results. Reinstalled a few times, even tried installing the latest beta driver from AUR. Then I just said to hell with it and did a fresh arch install.
Now I'm on a clean install. All I have done is sync and update with pacman, create a use and install X and the nvidia driver.
Run 'startx'. Same thing as before.
Where is that nvidia module supposed to be?
In /lib/modules/2.6.39-ARCH/modules.dep there is this line. I grepped 'nvidia' from it.
kernel/drivers/video/nvidia/nvidiafb.ko.gz: kernel/drivers/video/fb_ddc.ko.gz kernel/drivers/i2c/algos/i2c-algo-bit.ko.gz kernel/drivers/video/vgastate.ko.gz kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.ko.gz
And that nvidiafb file is there. Don't know if that is the right one.
Am I doing something horribly wrong here or is this a bug? I'm really not sure at this point.
Has anyone else been unlucky enough to have to deal with this issue?

[SOLVED] 'sh: nano: command not found' on installation in arch-chroot

Hello,
I'm trying to install Arch Linux on a new laptop with a UEFI motherboard, however while following the beginners' guide on the step which requires you to arch-chroot into the /mnt base system to modify the locale.gen file using nano, I receive the following error:
'sh: nano: command not found'
I have mounted the partitions, installed the base system and have tried searching online for a solution but nothing seems to work. Also, nano works while outside of arch-root so I believe it is installed on my system.
I'm almost completely out of ideas on how to fix this, so any help or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
- Thanks.
Last edited by tyor (2013-01-20 12:01:54)

I had the same problem during my first attempts to install Arch. When you use the command as stated:
# pacstrap -i /mnt base base-devel
it seems not all packages were downloaded/installed. Now I know it was my own fault by not selecting the packages properly.
In the beginnersguide right above the pacstrap command is stated:
The -i switch can be omitted if you wish to install every package from the base and base-devel groups without prompting.
So I did, and installed without a problem

[Solved]PM: swap header not found attempting to suspend encrypted disk

Hi all,
I have my root partition set up as a dm-crypt encrypted volume, and I followed the instructions here to set up a swap file.
I also followed these instructions to add the resume hook to my mkinitcpio.conf between encrypt and filesystems.
I modified the /etc/default/grub file like so:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="cryptdevice=/dev/disk/by-uuid/0cb6b266-ce81-4b2f-9958-722c788c46ef:cryptroot cryptkey=/dev/disk/by-uuid/18868ab9-e0dd-4634-9f9e-69f3d3686d3f:ext2:/laptopkey root=/dev/mapper/cryptroot resume=/dev/mapper/cryptroot resume_offset=4952064"
I determined the offset using the swap-offset tool provided by the uswsusp package.
And I ran
mkinitcpio -p linux
and
grub-mkconfig
When I type "systemctl hibernate" the system begins to hibernate, then comes back up immediately. Journalctl -xn gives this:

I think one of them is the actual device, the other is the dm-crypt container? I guess I could try both...I'll report back.
Usually I use the output of blkid to find out the correct uuid. The uuid to use for / or swap is the one pointing to one of /dev/dm*.
LeftyAce wrote:For the record I am using resume=/dev/mapper/cryptroot. I think since the swapfile is a file not a block device in my case that's important. Since the encrypt hook runs first, that mapper volume is present and unlocked by the time resume comes around.
In my case the same happens but for some reason it doesn't seem to work, and I've been procrastinating submitting a bug (I use hibernation very rarely and I know of a way that works).

(Solved) grub rescue file not found

Last edited by bilgee0629 (2011-04-16 07:22:25)

First thing to do, Assuming an Error 15: file not found, would be to check your grub's menu.lst to make sure that it is referencing the correct partition and vmlinuz26. If you have a separate boot partition it should reference that partition and just use /vmlinuz26 (as explained on the following thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=56251). However if everything there seems correct, you will have to post more information for people to help you, such as the contents of /etc/fstab along with your menu.list.
you can check the menu.lst through the ubuntu live cd by mounting the arch root partition (or /boot if you partitioned it that way) and opening /boot/grub/menu.lst.
Also, this might be of help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1263009.

Can't solve "valid signing identity not found" issue

Hello,
I'm having a lot of trouble getting an app to build properly. I'm using the Corona SDK, but I believe that my true problem lies here:
It says, "Valid signing identity not found."
I've gone through the process of uninstalling all of my Provisioning Profiles and reinstalling them numerous times but still haven't solved this issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
- Bret

Hi etresoft,
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply to my question. I am under the assumption that my build issue has something to do with the "Valid signing identity not found." message that appears in the XCode Provisioning Profiles window. In all probability, this is causing my build issue, and it seems like a Provisioning / Keychain issue and not necessarily a Corona SDK issue. I did contact Corona anyhow and I'm waiting for a reply.
If there's any chance you can help me debug the "Valid signing identity not found", I would be very grateful!
Cheers,

Ok, the problem I've got is this: sudo has suddenly started acting real strange. It can't find any programs. For example, if i type

And another problem I've got, is that as a regular user, it can't find programs in /sbin, or other "exotic" places. For example it can't find firefox, because it's not in /usr/bin or /bin, but in /opt/mozilla/bin.

[SOLVED] HPLIP- PPD file not found.

Hello all,
I am trying to install an HP Officejet 5610 All-in-One. I have used HPLIP in Ubuntu before to install it and it worked fine. However, I do not seem to be able to get it to work here in Arch.
I installed hplip through pacman, which seemed to work fine.
Upon typing:
sudo hp-setup
I select USB as the printer I want to detect, and that goes fine. It sees that I have an 'HP Officejet 5600 series' and after clicking next I get a 'PPD file not found' error.
I try the 'Select Other' option, but there is no PPD file relating to the 5610 AIO or even the 5600 series. I also went to linuxprinting.org to try and find a PPD file, but there doesn't seem to be one for this printer.
As I say, I know that the printer/scanner/fax-everything worked just fine in Ubuntu, so I am sure that it can be accomplished here. I must just be missing something simple.
Does anyone have any idea as to how I can get the appropriate PPD file, or which one of the listed ones might work instead? The only Officejet that I see listed is the 'hp_officejet_9100_series-ps.ppd.gz', does that sound like a reasonable choice?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I should have mentioned that I am running Arch64, in case that has some bearing on the issue.

Thanks for the reply.
Well this is all rather odd. I checked and I had chosen 'foomatic/hpijs'. So I tried printing this thread again. No more odd characters. Apart from some seriously awful fonts (it is not printing the fonts that I actually see on the page) the page prints more or less normal. Also though, the Arch Linux banner does not show up, and Home, Forums, etc. do but they don't print right. There should be a black and a blue bar over the Home, Forums, etc., but it doesn't show up. I tried printing a third time and got the same weird characters as the first time.
So what do you think the problem with this is? I find it strange that it almost works once, then works weird, and I'm sure if I try enough times I will get another decent page. So I am lost here. The scanner seems to be working fine though. So there is definite progress, after all the printer works now. I assume that it is some language of font problem. I really have no idea though. Any more help is appreciated. Thanks.
I was gonna include screenshots but I don't seem to be able to figure out how to do that. Help please
