[SOLVED] /home not mounted on boot after installing tp_smapi

Hi. After installing tp_smapi, my /home partition isn't mounted on boot any more.
I can log in as a normal user, but I am then left with a command line and thus need to mount /home manually and launch X/dwm with startx. The startup shell shows no error messages.
After I uninstall tp_smapi, X starts up automatically again and everything seems to work.
Here's my fstab:
/dev/sda2 / ext4 rw,noatime,data=ordered 0 1
# /dev/sda4 UUID=9d976c9a-4fe2-4cc9-a8b9-c22c713149d7
/dev/sda4 /home ext4 rw,noatime,data=ordered 0 2
# /dev/sda3 UUID=a6153a96-b9ef-412f-a670-af6775275f15
/dev/sda3 none swap defaults 0 0
I am dual-booting Arch with Windows XP on a Thinkpad X60s. A /mnt/home folder also exists. And, the error aside, tp_smapi seems to work nicely,
Thanks for any help!

Okay, it works now (after creating /mnt/home anew and rebooting). However, I wonder why did tp_smapi touch my mount points in the first place?

  • [SOLVED] Partitions not mounted on boot / boots to (none)

    I have strange problem after I ran pacman -Syu today. After reboot I can't login and it doesn't show hostname in login window, I do get kdm login screen.
    If I select console login or change to tty1 then I can login as root, without any password asked.
    After that I am able to mount partitions just fine, and I am also able to chroot in and update the system, didn't help. I also tried downgrading kernel to 3.5.6.1, with no change in behaviour.
    I don't have /usr on different partition but decided to try adding usr and shutdown to mkinitcpio hooks anyway, again no improvement.
    Recent update only brought shadow.pacnew, which I merged. I do pacnew merges after each update.
    Any pointers on where to go next?
    Thanks in advance.

    You need to understand what you are actually doing when you overwrite old files with new ones.  When there is a recommendation to "merge" your pacnew files, that doesn't mean just go ahead and use the new ones.  It means you should take the time to see what is in them, see where they differ, and then make an educated decsion on what to do with them from there.
    If this is how you have always been handling pacnew files, don't expect that the prolem is totally solved.  I would not be suprised if this one sneaks up and bites you in the ass.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro not booting after install of Hyper V - ASUS z87 + intel 4670K

    Hi,
    I am running windows 8.1 pro on a intel 4670K 4th Gen Haswell CPU and ASUS z87 plus motherboard. 16gb of kingston hyperx ddr1600 memory.
    I have enabled virtualisation technology in the bios.  CPU has SLAT.... or Extended Page Table, as intel likes to refer to it.
    When I install HyperV platform and management tools the computer configures and reboots
    AFter reboot it brings up the blue window image and spinning circle of dots for a while then reboots. It does the same thing again and then reboots and goings into repair mode and asks me to do a system restore. It then restores to before they HyperV install.
    I've tried turning off xHCI mode (i.e USB 3.0) in the bios as this seemed to be a known issue with some gigabyte boards. This did not rectify the issue
    Updated to latest asus mainboard bios 1405.  Same issue still occurs upon install of hyper V.
    Automatic repair does not work and I have to restore from system restore point.
    I performed a clean boot after installing the feature and it still couldnt boot to windows.. it just sits at windows logo and then restarts a few times and then launches the startup repair. Once the startup repair begins, the only way I can get into windows
    is restoring to a system restore point from before the hyperv feature install.
    Please see the following logs which may have further information:

    I logged a job with asus support and their response was:
    "Clear CMOS and ensure virtualisation technology is turned on in BIOS. If it still doesn't work, seek assistance from Microsoft"
    Previously asked this question but took a while to get back to update with the logs and it was listed as Answered.
    This issue is still existing and I'd appreciating any assistance.

  • Will not start even in safe boot after installing latest camera update

    MacBook Pro will not start even in safe boot after installing latest camera update.
    I started my machine and did a software update. Only the camera update needed. So installed and when required I pressed restart. It restarted and did install. Then restarted again. I expected to get to the login screen and it turned itself off. Tried three more times. Each time shutting off. I unplugged everything, and pressed start waiting for log in window. No it shutdown before the log in window. I then tried safe mode and that did not work either on three more occasions.

    I have managed to resolve some issues. I can now restart the machine via a CD boot. If I do cmd C into something like tech tool pro, then restart from that disks menu it restarts every time.
    If I try a safe start it shuts down. If I try a normal start it shuts down. I have managed to repair permissions and that cleared up some start up permissions but with no improvement to the boot problem. The only way to load is via the cmd-C boot option. Any other ideas?

  • Macbook pro won't boot after installing update 10.9.3

    macbook pro won't boot after installing update 10.9.3

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Mac mini G4 won't mount music CD after installing Leopard

    My Mac mini G4 has some issues mounting music CDs after installing Leopard. I did an "archive and install", everything seems to be working fine, except the CD issue. I have also applied all the relevant updates. I didn't have any issue with CDs in Tiger on this system.
    Just after booting, the CD does mount. However, I can't eject it by dragging it to the trash can. I can unmount it only by hitting the eject button on the keyboard.
    If I insert the CD again it won't appear on the desktop anymore. It doesn't appear in iTunes either, no matter how often I try.
    I noticed someone else in these forums had the exact same problem. The problem was marked as solved, but in fact it wasn't. No information is available in the forum on how to solve it.

    This EXACT scenario happens to me. It started the day I upgraded from 10.4.x to Leopard. My workaround is to go into Disk Utility, find the CD (which shows up as unmounted). Click on the CD. Then click the "Mount" button at the top. It works, but I'd like a real solution.

  • I can not open different sites after installing itunes. Why?

    I can not open different sites after installing itunes. I can`t open google.com or youtube.com. Why?

    Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff: What version of iPhoto. What version of the Operating System. Details. What were you doing when the problem arose? Did it ever work properly? Step-by-step descriptions of how you got to this issue. If something doesn't work, are there error messages? What happens when you try to do this thing? And what steps have you tried already to solve the issue. With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that a helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

    Does the issue happen to all users? What’s your IE version? Is there any error when you access OWA 2007 in IE?
    Please click Compatibility View settings in your Internet Explorer. Then, add the OWA site to the list of sites to be viewed in compatibility view and check whether the issue persists.

  • Very slow boot after installing 10.10.3

    insanely slow boot after installing 10.10.3, it takes 10times longer compare to 10.10.2, using MBA 2014

    Open System Preferences, select Startup Disk, and make sure your internal drive is selected as the startup disk. Then click restart!
    This worked for me, personally with the same issue.
    Good luck!
