[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]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.

Black screen on GDM, how to install xorg-base from grub?

I followed these installation guides to install archlinux in a virtualbox before testing it out on a real machine:
* http://wideaperture.net/blog/?p=3851
* https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vi … al_Machine
* http://lifehacker.com/5680453/build-a-k … he-process
* http://www.muktware.com/2013/11/how-to- … ed/16825/6
* http://cbopt.com/how-to-install-arch-li … ng-system/
* https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide
It was really all smooth sailing until I finished installing gnome and gnome-extra. These seemed to go well, but then I ran into a problem a lot like this guy's:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=119657
Namely, I now get past GRUB and am greated with a black screen that I seem to have no control over. I can't boot, can't type, can't add my user to a video group, nothing.
So, I have two questions:
* What seems to be wrong? From that thread, I think I need to install xorg-base, possibly? Could it be that I installed the wrong video drivers for a virtual machine? (I assume it's the virtual machine I need drivers for, not my actual video card, right?)
* In a situation like this, how should I properly use GRUB to boot into CLI where I can diagnose, fix stuff, and do things like install xorg-base? I can't find any way to boot to command line.
**Update**
Here's a little more research I've done.
1. I booted up using my installation disk to try accessing my files, maybe I can set something to not use GDM, as per here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/76543/ho … -selection
2. But I didn't know how to access underlying files when on boot disk, so I did this:
$ fdisk -l # told me sda2 was my Linux Filesystem
$ sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
3. From the beginner's guide section on GUI troubleshooting here, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners_Guide, I tried this (prepending my mount point):
$ grep EE /mnt/var/log/Xorg.0.log
4. Well, I can't copy the output because of no GUI, but there were 3 errors:
(EE) Failed to load module "modesetting" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0)
Are any of these relevant to why I boot into a black screen rather than something that looks like GNOME?
**Update 2**
Something similar for:
grep EE /mnt/var/log/gdm/:0.log.4
(EE) Failed to load module "modesetting" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
** Update 3 **
Discovered I could TTY to another terminal. In virtualbox this is Host + F2.
Re-enabled gdm, restarted xstart, ran gnome, no luck.
$ sudo pacman -S xorg
told me I was out of disk space, uh oh! Of course, I made it only 4 GB since this is a virtualbox demo.
OK, let's resize my sda2 disk. Restart with the live CD.
and now...?

[SOLVED] No luck with VirtualBox network.

EDIT**********
I have a working Arch Linux VM made with VirtualBox. The network works out of the box but once you reboot and remove live media and load into Arch Linux I cannot get a ping.
I have looked through the Arch Linux VirtualBox wiki and I am either confused or feel I have tried what it asked.
Here is what I did.
For the purpose of this post, I made a new VM and successfully followed the beginner guide again and installed Arch Linux and it starts up no problem without the live iso.
first thing I did was
ping -c 3 www.google.com
unknown host...
so i did
ddhcpcd
and this resulted...
dhcpcd[196]: version 6.7.1 starting
dhcpcd[196]: enp0s3: adding address fe80::ced8:2d68:7409:4427
dhcpcd[196]: no interfaces have a carrier
dhcpcd[196]: forked to background, child pid 208
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vi … VirtualBox
I have no idea where to learn about this in the exhaustive guide that mostly has nothing to do with what I am using VirtualBox for.
[SOLVED] Josh Braun’s Blog // A Guide to Installing Arch in VirtualBox

Solved using this code. I did not see anything about this in the Wiki.. so check out Josh Brauns Blog.

Old Horrible Question... DO NOT READ
I can dual boot Arch from my bios and get wifi access easily.
When I use VirtualBox, it has no problem until I actually log on to Arch Linux without the live iso.
I have did searches and i am just LOST on the VirtualBox Arch wiki.
Edit: I have tried dhcpcd and it was not successful. I will post the exact output later.
I am hoping someone can direct me to get this working.
I have a windows 7 Dell laptop and VirtualBox loads into Arch Linux without the iso as a drive. Just looking for guidance and search terms. Thank you./

That's understandable, I know well myself how intimidating it can be at the very beginning.
I will explain a bit. Those guides are just asking for trouble for two reasons: (1) they are outdated and Arch moves quick. And (2) it will prevent you from learning how to administer your system. You copied and pasted that command but did you know what you were doing? Probably not. I guarantee you will run into that same problem again if you don't know how systemd and services, etc. work in general. The first link to dhcpcd was the section about running the service. Notice it links to the systemd page that explains in general how to start, stop, enable, and disable services. This is the kind of research you will need to do on your own if you hope to get to the point where you don't have to ask questions about every single step. It's okay to ask questions, but when it comes to something as straightforward as enabling a service, people will usually just point you to the links.
If you're only a week into Linux in general and you've successfully installed Arch in a VM, then that's a good sign. The lingo will come in time but you definitely need to do a bit of studying. You should read through the wiki in depth. That is, the beginner's guide isn't just for installing Arch for the first time. It includes tons of links to all the moving parts of your system. The general recommendations page is also a must read.
With effort and patience you'll pick up what you now don't understand at all
EDIT: note also that the exact step that you found on this other guide is listed in the beginner's guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … Dynamic_IP
I suspect you got drawn into the VirtualBox wiki page without slowly and carefully going through the beginner's guide as well.

Install freeze in VirtualBox

I'm currently in the process of installing ArchLinux 2009.02 i686 in VirtualBox on a Lenovo SL500 ThinkPad.
Installation, seemingly freezes up during the package installation step.
Any Ideas?
Much appreciated thanks.

I can confirm this, I'm installing arch in virtualbox and I'm at the installing xorg phase, and every so often I have to ctrl-c and redo the pacman -S xorg because arch (or pacman) just freezes up in the middle of the download. No lights blink or anything so I know something just froze.
EDIT: there's a ticket currently on virtualbox's bug tracker about this issue. http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/3511
Wow, that's a serious bug in that ticket! But it's about the host (windows) rebooting because the guest "does something", that seems to be something completely different then the guest hanging during installation.

Installing arch under virtualbox - cannot open default display & stuff

hi!
this is not my first time I try to install arch under virtualbox, and the results I get are the same.
Installation was pretty obvious: installed arch, added user to lp,wheel,games,video,audio,optical,storage,scanner,power,users groups, installed xorg (all group), installed virtualbox-guest-utils, added vboxvideo vboxsf and vboxguest to /etc/modules-load.d/virtualbox.conf. Also installed mesa and xf86-video-vesa.
Then I edited .xinitrc and added there /usr/bin/VboxClient-all line.
In result, when I try to launch X by typing startx, desktop changes resolution to a bigger one, then blank screen and the resolution changes back to previous, displaying the following:
If I try to launch any de (like bspwm or xfce4) I het a message saying "Can't open the default display".
The weirdest part is that if i change user to root, I can startx and the ugly twm will start, but if I try to launch de, I get the same error message.
Now, what have I missed during the installation which in result gives me what I get?
Thank you.

Trilby wrote:Please post your actual .xinitrc. The output in your screenshots indicates that X exited normally, without error. In other words, nothing went wrong, it did what it was told to do, you just likely have not told it to do what you want.
good thing is that i actually installed xfce4 and uncommented the corresponding line in the .xinitrc and the xfce4 launced successfully. Maybe I was frustrated because under root I got something, and under user - failures.
The bad thing is that when I want now to launch bspwm with the following .xinitrc
I get a completely black screen with no response

Trouble installing Xorg

Hello,
I just installed Archlinux and did the 'pacman -Syy' and 'pacman -Syu' and now trying to install xorg. I ran the 'pacman -S xorg' to install and it tells me to install another whole group of packages, which I accept but then I run into problems with this package:
error: failed retrieving file 'fontcacheproto-0.3.1-1-any.pkg.tar.gz'
Blocking me from the install of xorg... Another thing I'm totally new to Arch!!
Thank you!!

sylvainrb wrote:I tried different mirrors but none of them have the package...
and you always did pacman -Syyu after that? Can you install anything?
The versionnumber 3.1-1 seems to be incorrect. It should be 1.3-1... Have you copied it or rewrote?
But if I understand correctly, atcp some packages are available only at certain time?? btw, even archlinux.org server didn't have the package...
Sometimes, server are not up. (or too old.)
Packages are always available if the server is up (and the repo includes the specific package.)

Pacman -S xorg doesn't install xorg

After running 'pacman -S xorg', I ran startx to test. I got a bash error in return (this command not found). xinit gave the same result. I ran the same thing in a vm maybe a week previous, and it installed xorg just fine. Has anyone had the same problem?

Problem to install xorg

Hi
I install xorg as the document find in this link
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … aller_Xorg
the version xorg server is 1.7.
I tried config xorg without install hal is it possible ? I ask this question because when I run "startx" the keyboard and mouse not run.
When I install hal and run it if I run startx I can move mouse and keybord is ok
Can I configure xorg without hal start ?
think

You can also disable input hotplugging in xorg 1.7, and configure your devices in xorg.conf - hal does not need to be running for this, but it does need to be installed, as you will have already noticed. Details on the xorg wiki page.

Can't install xorg-xinit

Hi
I have just finished a fresh install of archlinux. I want to install X. when I try to install xorg-xinit, I get an error:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)

inetutils: /bin/domainname exist in filesystem

inetutils: /usr/share/man/man1/domainame.1.gz exist in filesystem
inetutils: /usr/share/man/man1/hostname.1.gz exist in filesystem
Errors occured, no packages were upgraded
I assume this is due to some packages I selected during install which relate to wireless networking.
What will happen if I simply delete these files?
Thanks.

It is possibly due to the fact that such files were moved from net-tools to inetutils. Try updating net-tools and inetutils together via
pacman -S net-tools inetutils
. Hope that fixes it.

Heh I missed some part of like like flamelab said , how I do that?
Some time ago I created my own PKGBUILD for xorg-server and toady I want to update it becouse I see some difreces between my PKGBUILD and PKGBUILD from abs tree and I copy the difrrent line
Thanks Perry3D and big thanks to flamelab.

[SOLVED]NVIDIA Xorg Errors

I installed Xorg and the proprietary nvidia driver using the wiki, but when running xinit or startx I get errors such as no nvidia.ko, unable to connect to X server, and Nos such process server error
Rebooted and works fine
Last edited by duke11235 (2010-08-23 00:36:15)

New Progress!
I've managed to get my screen to go black during the server's run, instead of having my TTY just freeze!
I followed the instructions here
However, now I have the problem that the X server shuts down about two seconds after startup. I have confirmed that both of the xrandr commands are completed.
Here is my x log
Here is my x output
As you can see, we have "Screen 1 deleted because of no matching config section". I have no idea what that means.
The NVIDIA driver still appears to try setting mode "NULL" (maybe it isn't getting the available modes properly?)
At the end, there's this weird thing...
reporting 3 4 17 122
have a master to look out for
adjust shatters 0 1366
need to create shared pixmap 1(II) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Deleting GPU-0
Uhhh...why is it deleting my GPU? (I have no idea what it means by that)
UPDATE (again!)...
I HAVE LWM WINDOWS APPEARING! (but I had to stop the nvidia to get that)
I changed the ServerLayout to have Screen 0 be the "intel" screen.
Initially, input wasn't being handled at all, resulting in complete inability to do anything once x started
I managed to get input working by adding some xorg configs for my input devices (now I have fully-functional xorg, but without my nvidia card)
I still want to get my nvidia working.

How to install elance Tracker System on archlinux?

Hi guys, anobody here knows how to install elance Tracking system on archlinux,
Elance only provide rpm and deb packages,
I tried to use rmp2targz and deb2targz, but don't work, I also checked this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XirJietlTfI
and it worked, bit I get an error saying that I need to install adobe air, but I already have installed
can anybody please tell how to install this package??
the package can be found at:
https://www.elance.com/php/tracker/main/trackerDownload (must be logged in on elance),
I uploaded the packages to mediafire if you want to check them out:
deb package
http://www.mediafire.com/?ad9x1h19m8kvomi
rpm
http://www.mediafire.com/?gshoa6cu4odcrt3
I did a PKGBUILD:
pkgname=elance-tracker-system
pkgver=current
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="Elance tracking system"
arch=('i686')
url="https://elance.com/"
license=('unknown')
depends=('libidn')
makedepends=('rpmextract')
options=('emptydirs')
source=("TrackerSetup.rpm")
md5sums=('356798ce170a942e0fbb3ed5e6243e65')
build() {
cd "$pkgdir"
rpmextract.sh ../TrackerSetup.rpm
and it works, but when I try to run Tracker, it says:
This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found.
Please download the latest version of the runtime from
http://www.adobe.com/go/getair,
or contact the application author for an updated version.
Notice that I already have installed adobe-air and adobe-air-sdk
kind regards.
thanks

Sure, thanks, I update the post, but here you have:
PKGBUILD
pkgname=elance-tracker-system
pkgver=current

md5sums=('356798ce170a942e0fbb3ed5e6243e65')
build() {
cd "$pkgdir"
rpmextract.sh ../TrackerSetup.rpm
the error:

Installed GDM without installing Xorg

As said in the topic, I've gone and installed GDM without installing Xorg, and when I rebooted, it hangs just before the login screen. I'm assuming this is because it can't find Xorg, and so can't load.
Is there a way for me to disable GDM through the live cd? I'm not sure how to navigate into the actual hard drive through the cd, and, once there, have no clue where GDM is located. I assumed that I can't use systemctl disable gdm from within the live environment.
Thanks for your help.

That worked for me. Thanks

[SOLVED] install xorg on Virtualbox's ArchLinux
