[Solved] ^has_journal error for encrypted USB installation

Hi,
I am trying to install Arch on an encrypted USB stick, but i am facing a challenge in the very initial stages.
Its been advised that if installing arch on a USB stick, one should disable journaling. But the command to format to ext4 without journaling fails. Here is what i am doing
# cryptsetup -y -v luksFormat /dev/sda2
# cryptsetup open /dev/sda2 cryptroot
# mkfs.ext4 -O ^has_journal /dev/sda2
the mkfs.ext4 command above gives the following error:
/dev/sda2 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here
Instead, when i use the slightly modified version of the original command specified in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm … _with_LUKS, i get the following error:
mkfs -t ext4 -O ^has_journal /dev/mapper/cryptroot
Invalid filesystem option set: install.txt
Can you advise whats going wrong with the mkfs.ext4 command?

Hello All,
I have same problem installing the new (2014.08.01) iso to an old EeePC 4G.

Additional Instructions for Creating USB Installation Media

Greeting Everyone,
I have been trying to install archlinux on my Acer c720 chromebook. The instructions have been posted on one of the forums and I have been following them and ran into a bit of a problem. For some mysterious reason using Syslinux as the bootloader (I think I got that right) puts the C720 into reboot immediately. The forums indicate that I should use GRUB instead of Syslinux. Great! That is exactly what I want to do, and here is the problem:
The instructions for creating the USB Flash Installation Media give step by step instructions for getting archlinux.iso and Syslinux on to the USB memory stick - which I followed and succeeded- but no instructions on how to put GRUB on there instead of Syslinux.
Could someone give me instructions on how to do that.
I am following the "Manual Formatting" --- "In Windows" section of the wiki titled "USB Flash Installation Media."
Just so everyone knows this is my first venture into linux world and away from point and click windows world.....

Those instructions are about the installation(about what you choose to install on your harddisk). So they aren't important yet if you haven't managed to boot up the usb drive. What three images did you try? You should get the image from here:
https://www.archlinux.org/download/
Did you try booting the drive on other machines and how did that go? Did you go through all the instructions described in the wiki(enabling developer mode and enabling legacy boot) and did you get to the boot menu?
Were you able to select the usb drive in the boot menu?
On a side-note, I don't have a Chromebook so I'm not able to confirm the instructions on how to enable developer mode etc.
Yes I used the following images from archlinux.org:
archlinux-2013.10.01-dual.iso
archlinux-2014.01.05-dual.iso
and the third was from a random selection from the drop down menu in LiLi USB creator.
Yes I have followed the instructions from the installation wiki and was able to get the developer mode and to the boot menu on the c720 and able to select USB to boot from.
As I mentioned earlier I had success using the method for creating a USB Installation in the wiki (under "Using manual formatting", "In Windows" https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/US … tion_Media ) I was able to get the archlinux splash screen and it tries to install but resets. And I figured out that this happens because following the instructions I end up with archlinux and Syslinux on the USB and I need arclinux and GRUB.
Hence my request for additional instructions for getting archlinux and GRUB onto a USB for installation.
I will try the USB installation created using LiLi on a different computer - it is much older though and I am not sure it has enough memory for it.

New Airport Extreme (802.11ac) Support for Encrypted USB Disk

The old Time Capsule and Airport Extreme apparently did not support a filevault2 encrypted USB disk for storing files like an NAS (not talking about a time machine backup). Does anyone know whether the newly released Airport or Time Capsule now supports the encrypted disk?

I do not think that USB encrypted disks are supported...and would be surprised if they were....but will know for sure late tomorrow.
Will update at that time if no one else has answered before that time.
The fact that Apple still has a USB 2.0 port on the new AirPort products might be a clue as well.

[Solved] System asks for encryption password multiple times

Hey guys,
I have following problem:
I am using dmcrypt for encryption of my hard drive but it seems like I have made a mistake when I installed it. But for the most time I ignored it.
When I start my system it ask for the encryption password normally. The strange thing is that it also asks for the Password when services start.
If I issue a command with systemctl start XXX I also get following message:
Please enter passphrase for disk Crucial_CTXXXXXSSD1 (lukslvm)
There is no problem if I just press Enter and go on actually but this still bugs me.
I wonder what I did wrong at that time.
Edit:
/etc/crypttab:
lukslvm UUID=xxxxxxxxxxx------xxxxxxxxxx none luks
lvm pvscan:
PV /dev/mapper/vgarch VG vgarch lvm2 [223,38 GiB / 0 free]
Total: 1 [223,38 GiB] / in use: 1 [223,38 GiB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ]

Fixed by removing the entry in /etc/crypttab
I don't even remember adding it there but it has been already some years.

How to solve power error when using USB camera adapter in your camera

Hello Everyone,
First of all I wanna say reducing the output of the USB camera adapter from 100mA to 20mA just to save battery life is by far the most incredible adjustment in the history of @)#*$#%*($#!
I know most of us bought the USB Camera adapter so we can use it as a USB adapter for the Camera (saves us from taking the memory card on and off the camera) but sadly the "Ginues Apple" reduced it to 20mA which decreases the range of cameras and flash drives that will work with it. I use Gopro Hero 3+ black and everytime I plug it with the adapter to my ipad I keep on seeing this @#@$#@ power error. I didn't want to waste the expensive adapter so I tried to look for a micro sd card reader but I don't think 20mA readers still exist.
Now to solve this problem is very simple add a power source to help that 20mA up, most of the my friends bought a powered port hub but it's not my type because it's bulky, needs an outlet and not portable.
So I found a better solution on how you can add a power source and still be portable, the answer is power bank or portable charger.
Things you need:
Camera
USB camera adapter (Ginues Apple product)
Power bank (I'm using 8,400 mAh)
Dual USB Male to 5 Pin Mini USB Y Cable
Ipad
Procedure:
Camera --- 5 Pin Mini USB ------------------ USB camera adapter ---------- Ipad
'---------- Power Bank
Attach you camera to the 5 pin mini usb then the USB1 male to the female apple's USB camera adapter then to the Ipad. = this will show the power error.
Then attach the USB2 to the power bank/portable charger to power it up.
your welcome

[SOLVED]KVM error for Intel CPU

KVM: entry failed, hardware error 0x80000021
If you're running a guest on an Intel machine without unrestricted mode
support, the failure can be most likely due to the guest entering an invalid
state for Intel VT. For example, the guest maybe running in big real mode
which is not supported on less recent Intel processors.
It is OK for WinXP/Linux guest run at text, but it failed after entering graphic mode. How to resolve this problem, thansk very much

Apart from the fact you use a very specific set of hardware for the VM, i don't see anything special.
A search with duckduckgo lead me to this german blog : virtualisierung-mit-kvm-und-virtuelle-netzwerke-mit-vde .
(section KVM Hardware Error).
The error the blog poster got looks very similar to yours, and was solved by applying a special parameter to the kvm_intel kernel module.
try loading the module with
modprobe kvm_intel emulate_invalid_guest_state=0
and test if that solves the problem.
(it's probably best to rmmod the kvm_intel module before giving the above command)

Please solve this error for me

Well, after looking at the text your compiler so helpfully gave you:
symbol : method toString (char)
location: class java.lang.Character
g2.drawString(Character.toString(ch), xPos, yPos);And consulting the API docs (which I Strongly Suggest you read) for the java.lang.Character class (a clue I found in the above text) I see absolutely no static method called "toString" that takes a char. Thus, it is my esteemed opinion, that there is no static method with a signature of toString(char) in the Character class, and your attempt to use it on line 96 of your RandomLetterApplet.java file is causing this error.
Is that solved?

System Requirements Error For Adobe CS3 Installation?

When I try to install Adobe CS3 Design Premium on my iMac (Intel Based) I get an error message while clicking on the setup icon. This is the message:
"System Requirements Error
This software cannot be installed because the file

I checked the Adobe website and my computer meets all the requirements and I have the most update version of Mac Os X.
Where might I find the file system of my OS? And why doesn't it work with Adobe?

Greetings,
Is it possible that you have a copy that is made for Windows OS. Even though it's an Intel chip, unless you have a copy of Adobe made for Mac OS, it won't work.
I've run in to this before, that's why I mentioned it. I have Adobe CS3, all of the CS3 products, loaded on my Macs, and it is Leopard 10.5.5.

[SOLVED] Weird behaviour after formatting USB installation media

Hi, I have noticed this weird behaviour with USB drives I used to install Arch linux with. I format them using fdisk and mkntfs but after replugging them in, the udevil daemon mounts them again as ARCH_2013...[something] and even the directory tree exists! This happens also when I use mkntfs without the -f flag (initializing with zeros). I also checked the other files in /dev/sd* in order to make sure that my drive does not appear twice, but there is only sda (my HD) and sdd (or sometimes sdb, sdc,...) which must be the USB drive, also according to dmesg.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I wrote something about not seeing any files when manually mounting but that was my bad, I only tried mounting /dev/sdb1 but mounting /dev/sdb brought me the same files as devmon showed.
Last edited by ysetdng (2014-07-12 22:36:46)

I am assuming you used dd to write the image to the disk. You can use it to remove the contents of the disk as well.
You should make use of the arch wiki, it is quite helpful.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/US … tion_Media
You can use this to zero out the entire device:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=8M // x is the letter assigned to the usb drive. Be careful, The dd command is destructive.
It may take a while to zero out the entire disk, depending on the size. After that use fdisk/cfdisk or gdisk/cgdisk to create the partition table and partition.
To create the filesystem type, this one, ext4:
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdx // or create a vfat
then create the label:
# e2label /dev/sdx1 USB_STICK_LABEL
Use my suggestion as a last resort. Read the wiki, most of what I have said is in there anyway.
