[Solved]Install: Sabretooth 990FX, ZFS & dm-crypt as root. UEFI probs?

This is my first install using UEFI, so I'm not exactly sure what to expect, but I can gather that this isn't it.
The "Installing Archlinux on ZFS" page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … nux_on_ZFS
suggests using rEFInd as the bootloader, but I'm having terrible trouble getting the darn thing to take. One go round, GRUB came up from a previous install (great, I forgot to wipe that! Time to start over...) And the next, the UEFI menu doesn't seem to find rEFInd. Or the efivars just aren't available, even after I know I booted through UEFI...
Any help *there* would be greatly appreciated. I've been scrubbing the docs for days, booted the arch install disc repeatedly from the motherboard in UEFI-mode, only to find one problem after another with bootloaders. Do I have one of those cursed mobos where the spec will not correctly handle UEFI booting?
Does rEFInd have a way to detect that the rootFS is encrypted? Would simply passing the same arguments in refind.conf that I would in... Grub(?) do the same?
I came over from Funtoo where a separate program (bliss-initramfs) handled the initramfs, which took care of allowing me to unlock and mount my rootfs. So I really have no idea of what much of anything else is capable of anymore! That seemed to be sorta the only working solution at the time on that distro.
Does mkinitcpio effectively allow me to unlock an encrypted rootfs, then mount what's inside, even if it is a ZFS?
I'm terribly turned around, and I've been trying to scrub the docs for days, but simply find there's too many directions to turn about what's going on.

Thanks for the warning!
I intend to try to use Arch to mimic a source-based distro, where possible: funtoo wouldn't mesh well with gentoo's "layman" supplimentary repositories (such as for steam, octave, or R) and gentoo wouldn't present a workable solution for actually booting into a ZFS filesystem.
So, if I recompile the kernel every time, external modules included (and reinstall non-source modules, and zfs out of the AUR), I believe I'll be okay.
Worst comes to absolute worst, there is that install disc where I can boot in for an emergency, and clean up the eventual mess.
Dangit, the bootloader is having issues. it doesn't wanna load my zpool, even after I open up the luks partition "vault".

Sol10 u8 installed on a ZFS Root File System have different swap needs?

Does Sol10 u8 installed on a ZFS Root File System have different swap needs/processes?
Information:
I've installed Solaris 10 (10/09 s10s_u8wos_08a SPARC, Assembled 16 September 2009) on a half dozen servers and every one of them no longer mount swap at boot.
The install program commented out the old swap entry and created this one:
# grep swap /etc/vfstab
swap - /tmp tmpfs - yes -
Everything works like a champ. I didn't discover the issue until I tried to install some patches and the install failed. It didn't fail because of lack of swap - it refused to run because it found "No swap devices configured".
Here are the symptoms:
# swap -s
total: 183216k bytes allocated + 23832k reserved = 207048k used, 13600032k available
# swap -l
No swap devices configured
# mount | grep swap

Hi Nitabills,
I assume that you create a zfs entry for swap with the commande zfs create -V $size
did you launch the command :
swap -a /dev/zvol/dsdk/$ZPOOL/swap
Try this entry below in the vfstab :
/dev/zvol/dsdk/$ZPOOL/swap - - swap - no -

[SOLVED] Installing Drupal

Hi you all,
I want to install drupal on my PC in order to create a website on my PC and then to show it before pushing it on the server.
I installed drupal with pacman/pacaur with mariadb, php and some related modules and apache.
I followed the instruction on the wiki and nothing happened.
I followed this guide in Italian [1] and now if I go to localhost/drupal this error is printed out:
«Access forbidden!
You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.

[SOLVED] Installing on ZFS root: "ZFS: cannot find bootfs" on boot.

I have been experimenting with ZFS filesystems on external HDDs for some time now to get more comfortable with using ZFS in the hopes of one day reinstalling my system on a ZFS root.
Today, I tried installing a system on an USB external HDD, as my first attempt to install on ZFS (I wanted to try in a safe, disposable environment before I try this on my main system).
My partition configuration (from gdisk):
Command (? for help): p
Disk /dev/sdb: 3907024896 sectors, 1.8 TiB
Logical sector size: 512 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): 2FAE5B61-CCEF-4E1E-A81F-97C8406A07BB
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 3907024862
Partitions will be aligned on 8-sector boundaries
Total free space is 0 sectors (0 bytes)
Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name
1 34 2047 1007.0 KiB EF02 BIOS boot partition
2 2048 264191 128.0 MiB 8300 Linux filesystem
3 264192 3902828543 1.8 TiB BF00 Solaris root
4 3902828544 3907024862 2.0 GiB 8300 Linux filesystem
Partition #1 is for grub, obviously. Partition #2 is an ext2 partition that I mount on /boot in the new system. Partition #3 is where I make my ZFS pool.
Partition #4 is an ext4 filesystem containing another minimal Arch system for recovery and setup purposes. GRUB is installed on the other system on partition #4, not in the new ZFS system.
I let grub-mkconfig generate a config file from the system on partition #4 to boot that. Then, I manually edited the generated grub.cfg file to add this menu entry for my ZFS system:
menuentry 'ZFS BOOT' --class arch --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
load_video
set gfxpayload=keep
insmod gzio
insmod part_gpt
insmod ext2
set root='hd0,gpt2'
echo 'Loading Linux core repo kernel ...'
linux /vmlinuz-linux zfs=bootfs zfs_force=1 rw quiet
echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
My ZFS configuration:
# zpool list

External2TB/PacmanCache 5.77G 1.77T 5.77G /var/cache/pacman/pkg
External2TB/Swap 8.50G 1.78T 20K -
The reason for the above configuration is that after I get this system to work, I want to install a second system in the same zpool on a different dataset, and have them share a pacman cache.
GRUB "boots" successfully, in that it loads the kernel and the initramfs as expected from the 2nd GPT partition. The problem is that the kernel does not load the ZFS:
ERROR: device '' not found. Skipping fsck.
ZFS: Cannot find bootfs.
ERROR: Failed to mount the real root device.
Bailing out, you are on your own. Good luck.
and I am left in busybox in the initramfs.
What am I doing wrong?
Also, here is my /etc/fstab in the new system:
# External2TB/ArchSystemMain
#External2TB/ArchSystemMain / zfs rw,relatime,xattr 0 0
# External2TB/PacmanCache
#External2TB/PacmanCache /var/cache/pacman/pkg zfs rw,relatime,xattr 0 0
UUID=8b7639e2-c858-4ff6-b1d4-7db9a393578f /boot ext4 rw,relatime 0 2
UUID=7a37363e-9adf-4b4c-adfc-621402456c55 none swap defaults 0 0
I also tried to boot using "zfs=External2TB/ArchSystemMain" in the kernel options, since that was the more logical way to approach my intention of having multiple systems on different datasets. It would allow me to simply create separate grub menu entries for each, with different boot datasets in the kernel parameters. I also tried setting the mount points to "legacy" and uncommenting the zfs entries in my fstab above. That didn't work either and produced the same results, and that was why I decided to try to use "bootfs" (and maybe have a script for switching between the systems by changing the ZFS bootfs and mountpoints before reboot, reusing the same grub menuentry).
Thanks in advance for any help.

Sounds like a zpool.cache issue. I'm guessing your zpool.cache inside your arch-chroot is not up to date. So on boot the ZFS hook cannot find the bootfs. At least, that's what I assume the issue is, because of this line:
ERROR: device '' not found. Skipping fsck.
If your zpool.cache was populated, it would spit out something other than an empty string.
Some assumptions:
- You're using the ZFS packages provided by demizer (repository or AUR).
- You're using the Arch Live ISO or some version of it.
On cursory glance your configuration looks good. But verify anyway. Here are the steps you should follow to make sure your zpool.cache is correct and up to date:
Outside arch-chroot:
- Import pools (not using '-R') and verify the mountpoints.
- Make a copy of the /etc/zfs/zpool.cache before you export any pools. Again, make a copy of the /etc/zfs/zpool.cache before you export any pools. The reason for this is once you export a pool the /etc/zfs/zpool.cache gets updated and removes any reference to the exported pool. This is likely the cause of your issue, as you would have an empty zpool.cache.
- Import the pool containing your root filesystem using the '-R' flag, and mount /boot within.
- Make sure to copy your updated zpool.cache to your arch-chroot environment.
Inside arch-chroot:
- Make sure your bootloader is configured properly (i.e. read 'mkinitcpio -H zfs').
- Use the 'udev' hook and not the 'systemd' one in your mkinitcpio.conf. The zfs-utils package does not have a ported hook (as of 0.6.2_3.12.6-1).
- Update your initramfs.
Outside arch-chroot:
- Unmount filesystems.
- Export pools.
- Reboot.
Inside new system:
- Make sure to update the hostid then rebuild your initramfs. Then you can drop the 'zfs_force=1'.
Good luck. I enjoy root on ZFS myself. However, I wouldn't recommend swap on ZFS. Despite what the ZoL tracker says, I still ran into deadlocks on occasion (as of a month ago). However, I cannot say definitely the cause of the issue; but it resolved when I moved swap off ZFS to a dedicated partition.

[SOLVED]Grub fails to open dm-crypt+LUKS volume on boot(Waiting 10s..)

I know there are quite a few solved posts like these but it's usually because of "mkinitcpio -p linux" not being regenerated.
My problem is after boot Grub says:
running hook [udev]
running hook [encrypt]

Things I tried:
Replace this line in grub.cfg with
linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=d1d0825c-25d1-4cbe-811f-725d9ef8d034 rw cryptdevice=UUID=d1d0825c-25d1-4cbe-811f-725d9ef8d034:cryptroot quiet
Do mkinitcpio -p linux but the hook ecrypt is there, so I assume it's a grub issue.
In
/etc/default/grub
replace GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="cryptdevice=/dev/sda6:cryptroot" with actual UUID, etc.
Grub config was made with
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Grub was installed with
grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck /dev/sda

[SOLVED] Installing VLC from Extras doesn't work.

Hey guys,
During installation I enabled the pacman repository mirror for my country. Which is hosted by Kangaroot.net
Just now I tried to install VLC media player. Oddly enough pacman couldn't find a couple of dependency packages on the Kangaroot mirror.
To fix this I went into /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and enabled all the mirrors from Germany. I figured that would fix it.
Seems that the German mirrors are missing the same packages though. This is pacman's output:
error: failed retrieving file 'libdvbpsi-0.2.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz' from mir.archlinux.fr : Not Found
error: failed retrieving file 'ffmpeg-20111108-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz' from archlinux.polymorf.fr : Not Found
error: failed retrieving file 'libupnp-1.6.13-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz' from archlinux.polymorf.fr : Not Found
error: failed retrieving file 'vlc-1.1.12-3-i686.pkg.tar.xz' from mir.archlinux.fr : Not Found
When you look up "Archlinux" on the videolan.org website it claims VLC ought to be available in the Extras repository.
What am I missing?
Last edited by 20k (2011-11-26 21:26:44)

Am I right in understanding that because pacman's database was not properly updated it couldn't find the same packages on other mirrors either?
Yes. Your database was out of date, therefore pacman was looking for things which would no longer exist on any up to date mirror.

[solved] Installing pygame

Hi,
Im having a problem while installing pygame from the repositories.
It seems that sdl_ttf-2.0.9-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz cannot be found in several mirrors.
However, I downloaded the tar file and did ./configure and make, but
now I dont know where to put the directory to continue with the installation of
the pygame library.
Could someone help me with this?

cool, found it.
I dont know why I read LOCALE instead of LOCATE.

Thanks for the help
You're welcome.
A couple of friendly reminders:
- keep your system updated
- you can grab a package by hand if the mirrors are acting up, no need to compile
- we have a list of good (up to date) mirrors https://www.archlinux.de/?page=MirrorStatus

[SOLVED]Install Scribes after Archlinux's python3 update from october

I would like to install scribes with the latest updates, but since Archlinux switched to Python3 by default (in october), I am unable to do so.
Before the update, i ran without problem:
bzr branch lp:scribes
cd scribes
sh autogen.sh
make
sudo make install
But now I can't pass autogen.sh :
checking what language compliance flags to pass to the C++ compiler...
checking for a Python interpreter with version >= 2.5... python
checking for python... /usr/bin/python
checking for python version... 3.1
checking for python platform... linux2
checking for python script directory... ${prefix}/lib/python3.1/site-packages
checking for python extension module directory... ${exec_prefix}/lib/python3.1/site-packages
configure: error: Error: Dependency check failed
In conf.log there is:
configure:6227: ./conftest
File "depcheck.py", line 10
print "Checking for D-Bus (Python Bindings)... yes"
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
So I run 2to3 on the depcheck.py file in the folder:
2to3 -w depcheck.py
And I get:
checking for a Python interpreter with version >= 2.5... python
checking for python... /usr/bin/python
checking for python version... 3.1
checking for python platform... linux2
checking for python script directory... ${prefix}/lib/python3.1/site-packages
checking for python extension module directory... ${exec_prefix}/lib/python3.1/site-packages
Error: Python bindings for D-Bus was not found.
configure: error: Error: Dependency check failed
In depcheck.py, the error is launched when:
# Check for D-Bus Python Bindings.
try:
import dbus
if dbus.version < (0, 70, 0): raise AssertionError
print("Checking for D-Bus (Python Bindings)... yes")
except ImportError:
print("Error: Python bindings for D-Bus was not found.")
raise SystemExit
except AssertionError:
print("Error: Version 0.70 or better of dbus-python needed.")
raise SystemExit
It turns out I can't access dbus module from python3:
$ python

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import dbus

But anyway, scribes is written with python2 syntax in mind, so let's use it :
$ export PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python2.7
I now re-run ./autogen.sh :
checking what language compliance flags to pass to the C++ compiler...
checking for a Python interpreter with version >= 2.5... ./configure: line 6015: 17533 Aborted ( $am_cv_pathless_PYTHON -c "$prog" ) 1>&5 2>&5

configure:6227: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c >&5
configure:6227: $? = 0

configure:6227: $? = 1
configure: program exited with status 1
configure: failed program was:
| /* confdefs.h */
| #define PACKAGE_NAME "scribes"
But with the PYTHONPATH set, I can't even start the python interpreter (python2 still works fine):
$ python
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/encodings/utf_8.py", line 9, in <module>
Aborted
I can still start scribes without compiling it, but then on the console, the same error appears:
$ python2 scribes.in
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/encodings/utf_8.py", line 9, in <module>
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/encodings/utf_8.py", line 9, in <module>
Without PYTHONPATH set, I can also run scribes (with python2), but it gives me an error in the console. I also tried o run 2to3 on every python file in the project and correcting the syntax to be conform to http://diveintopython3.org/porting-code … -2to3.html (but that's not really what I'm supposed to do, is it?), and I got the same error as the one below ("No module named gobject") when trying to build with autogen.sh:
$ export PYTHONPATH=
$ python2 scribes.in
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/wan/scribes_d/scribes_721/SCRIBES/SaveSystem/ExternalProcess/ScribesSaveProcess.py", line 7, in <module>
from gobject import MainLoop, threads_init
ImportError: No module named gobject
I am out of ideas to try to correct the problem. Can anyone help me please?

I knew there was an old (and not up-to-date) package in community, but I didn't know that I could get the PKGBUILD.
That teached me the -G argument for yaourt!
To solve the problem, the previous script helped a lot:
$ sed -i 's/python depcheck.py/python2 depcheck.py/' configure.ac
... on some other files as well.
I submitted the now up-to-date PKGBUILD to the AUR here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44275
Thanks for your suggestions!

[Solved] Install package python-evdev from AUR

I belive this is the correct section to post this but I have a problem installing the package python-evdev where I get the error ( Unsupported package: Potentially dangerous ! )
after trying to install with yaourt and pip install python-evdev results in bash: pip: command not found even after checking that extra/python-setuptools 1:5.2-1 is installed
and extra/python2-setuptools 1:5.2-1 is installed.
I realize there are other modules for hooking x server events but this one I have already written 200 lines of code for and is key to my application working. I was able to install
and utilize this module in ubuntu but cannot seem to get it installed in archlinux. Any guidance would be apreciated.
Last edited by meschael (2014-06-25 00:34:58)

I asumed pip came with setup tools, so following ids1024's lead I did a pacman -S python-pip which solved the command not found issue. I downloaded and untar'ed the package from AUR and issued a makepkg -s from within the extracted folder. There seems to be an issue with the licence which I can now see has to do with the person who make the package
I did not realize the dynamics of how AUR works because I am new to arch, so I appologize if I bothered anyone.
[Update] I have abondoned the idea of getting pythons evdev module installed as I have located a python3-xlib module which seems to have installed correctly, incidently I was unable to locate a xlib ported to python3 in my other distro, but found it in AUR here so this should work, will have to adapt my code but not the end of the world. Else if (Xlib != WORKING): work directly with /dev/input/eventn using root

[SOLVED] Installed Win 7, now Arch won't boot

Edit: To save anyone reading this all the way, the problem turned out to be a badly edited fstab. Sigh.
PROBLEM:
Grub loads, then loads the kernel, but the boot hangs a few seconds later with no real error messages.
BACKGROUND:
1) I needed to boot a native Windows 7 partition on my 128GB laptop SSD.
2) So, I used gparted in an Ubuntu Live USB to resize my existing Arch partition and create an NTFS partition for Win 7:
sda > sda1=Arch > sda2=ntfs > sda3=linux swap
Arch still booted fine after this (sda1).
3) I then installed windows 7 (BIOS install) onto the second partition (sda2). I don't know where or if it puts some system reserved partition - but I can't see anything in gparted.
4) chrooted from an Arch Live USB, reinstalled GRUB, including mkconfig step
5) *If* I recall, Arch then booted OK.
6) Booted into Windows and applied all updates, set windows to use UTC clock and updated my laptops BIOS. Reboot.
7) Win 7 boots fine from the grub menu from (hd0,2)
8) Arch starts booting, loads the kernel, then hangs after the kernel has loaded, but before gdm appears. With the following on screen:
[2.104597] INFO @wl_cfg80211_attach : Registered CFG80211 phy
I have tried chrooting and reinstalling linux and linux-headers and grub. But so far to no avail.
[SOLVED with face palm]
I installed syslinux using chroot, as it displays more startup messages. The boot was hanging at [a disk task is starting] or words to that effect. It was my USB stick, which I'd foolishly added to fstab with the "auto" option. Editing that out of fstab - and it's all good.
I'll leave this here in case anyone else does something this dumb.

Thanks for the clarification about the DAEMONS list. My DAEMONS list is:

when I try to enable alsa and dbus I get this
[root@andre ~]# systemctl enable alsa-store.service
The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.

Is LVM handled automatically by systemd? The reason I ask is because I have the USELVM= set to YES in rc.conf.
I made the permanent transition to systemd and did not start alsa at all - sound works fine - so I never bothered with the alsa-store/alsa-restore service files at all - it just works! Also dbus gets handled by default in systemd so you don't need any starting of dbus service at all... it just works.

[SOLVED] install arch VM with pacstrap

Dear all,
I am installing a Arch VM on my Arch host. The host is up-to-date, well configured (at least I think) in a vanilla manner (no suspicious hacks).
# pacstrap -i -c -d /dahlia base base-devel
is installing all packages but gives me this error many times:
/usr/bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
error: command failed to execute correctly
Googling this error returns lot of topics but I couldn't find a clear answer. I do not want to start with a semi-broken arch VM, so I want to solve this issue before going further.
Thank you

[SOLVED] install xorg on Virtualbox's ArchLinux

I'm trying to install xorg on the ArchLinux.(which in a virtualbox's box)
But, when I run 'xinit'.
It display vboxvideo does not exist.
When I use 'lsmod|grep vboxvideo'. It exist.
After search full directory, I found:
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/vboxvideo_dri.so
and
/lib/modules/3.0-ARCH/misc/vboxvideo.so
[SOLVED solution]
mkdir -p /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers
rerun the virtualbox addition

You need a VirtualBox Guest installation for your guest system to get the needed video driver run at your guest system.
Look at this how to do the installation on an Arch system:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … lBox_Guest
Alternatively, you can install the drivers with VirtualBox itself. There is a Menu entry 'Install Guest Additions...' under 'Devices'.
After calling the menu item there is a iso image installed wich you can mount in your guest system:
# mount /dev/sr0 /mnt
or something similar
On the CD there is a bash script /mnt/VboxLinuxAdditions.run which you can run to compile the device drivers.
To do this, you need gcc and linux headers installed on your guest system.
For using the compiled drivers, use the wiki article which I have linked above.
This Way has the disadvantage that you need to do the compilation again after every kernel update.

[Solved]Install: Sabretooth 990FX, ZFS & dm-crypt as root. UEFI probs?
