[SOLVED] installation on T420s

I've been using Arch Linux happily for a couple of years on my Thinkpad T42. Now I got a T420s and I after completing the standar install procedure I have no eth0 and hence I can't install anything that is not on the installation cd. lspci|grep -i eth shows I have an Intel 1502 Ethernet Controller. Some googling led me to this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1741686&page=2. I can confim that ethernet works flawlessly out-of-the-box in Ubuntu 11.04. According to the linked thread this might be due to the fact that you need a very recent version of the e1000e driver. I assume the e1000e version included in the Arch Linux installer is to old.
Does anybody know if the above is correct and how I can install the driver for my ethernet card?

My work around, was to install an old ethernet card, do the install with the official ISO, then upgrade, reboot, then I could use the integrated e1000e ethernet ..
booting with video= or nomodeset would take care of that black screen. (as said on the wiki)
What wiki page are you referring to?

[SOLVED] Installation problem with pacstrap

Hi guys, I am a new user of Arch Linux.
I wanted to try this operating system then I decided to install that on my Asus F200MA. Unfortunately, when I try to install ArchLinux, I get an error while downloading the base packages with pacstrap.
My HDD is made by 3 partitions:
/dev/sda1 - 51200 MB: This is the root partition
/dev/sda2 - 411690 MB: This is the home partition
/dev/sda3 - 4096 MB: This is the swap partition
After mounting these partitions, after using the pacstrap command and after the end of the download process, I get a few error messages:
error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
==> ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root
I really can't understand the reason of these errors, how can I solve the problem?
For formatting and mounting the partitions I used these commands:
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2
# mkswap /dev/sda3
# swapon /dev/sda3
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
# mkdir /mnt/home
# mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/home
and then I used this command:
pacstrap /mnt base base-devel

P.S.: Can you also explain me the reason of the signature's errors?
Thanks for all

Have you got any idea what is going wrong there.

[Solved] installation and setup question - gummiboot and EFI

Hi,
This is the first time i'm installing arch. i hit the below issues. hope someone can help me out. my understanding of uefi is just about an hour worth of reading or less..
(the wiki didn't mention the kernel requirement when I started installing it... now it does and i updated the beginner's guide wiki post.)
Problem
Gummiboot#Installing says that "If you are still running kernel 3.7 or have not booted in EFI mode, creating the boot entry will fail. You should however still be able to boot gummiboot as it copies the binary to the default EFI binary location on your ESP (/boot/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI on x64 systems). "
the gummiboot part fails. gummiboot gives this error at install saying file system is not FAT EFI, so first I got gummiboot and gummiboot-efi both using pacman. then, I provided the --path to install and now it coughs up because the latest iso isn't 3.8 yet.
Failed to access EFI variables. Is the "efivarfs" filesystem mounted?
I can see efivars but this is asking for efivarfs.
so instead I did,
# cp /usr/lib/gummiboot/gummibootx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/gummiboot/gummiboot.efi
# efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sda -p 1 -w -L "Gummiboot" -l '\EFI\gummiboot\gummiboot.efi'
how do I set this up? I'm afraid if I overwrite /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI windows might not boot.
after the installation (of course without gummiboot stuff) now when I reboot, I don't see any gummiboot menu at all because i didn't copy it to EFI/BOOT. it goes straight to windows 8 boot. during boot if I press F12 and see the menu option on thinkpad, I see gummiboot as the first entry(must be because of efibootmgr) followed by windows boot manager. When I select the gummiboot and enter, it just circles back to the same menu. I have setup the loader.conf and arch.conf as described in the wiki.
how do I set gummiboot to work? i dont mind pressing F12 and then going to gumiboot-> arch until 3.8 is out.
If this isn't possible, can I install rEFInd without messing gummiboot? looking at the dir structure of FAT EFI I think it should be possible but not 100% sure until i try it out. Also, to get rid of gummiboot, i should delete the directories, uninstall using pacman and get rid of the efibootmgr change I made, right?

I realize this has been at least partially addressed by others, but I want to make two points very explicit:
In Linux, partitions (or more precisely, the filesystems that most of them contain) are accessed by mounting them at a mount point (a directory). Thus, when you mount the ESP at /boot, the contents of /boot are the ESP. Put another way, mounting the ESP at /boot means that to read or write the ESP, you read or write files and directories under /boot. You can test this yourself by mounting and unmounting a partition that's not basic to the minute-to-minute functioning of the computer. The ESP will actually work fine for this. Unmount it from /boot or /boot/efi and then issue a mount command to mount it elsewhere (say, "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt"). Then check the files under your temporary mount point, and even copy a file there. You can then unmount it and mount it back where you normally do and look for the file you copied -- it should be there. Play with this until you fully grok it.
Gummiboot runs before Linux, and it has no conception of Linux mount points. Thus, whether you mount the ESP at /boot, at /boot/efi, at /home/fred/abadmountpointforanesp is irrelevant, so long as the files on the ESP are laid out in the way that gummiboot expects. The trickiest aspect of this for those unfamiliar with the Linux mount system is that you do not include the Linux mount point in filename references for pre-boot programs like gummiboot. That is, if you mount the ESP at /boot and place the kernel at /boot/vmlinuz, then in gummiboot, the kernel would be \vmlinuz.
Yeah, I figured this out based on the OP's response to that and thinking it through, I just never really thought about it much before now. But I will argue that the mount point /boot and the EFI partition are indeed 2 different locations. I know that once the ESP is mounted at /boot that this distinction disappears until it is umounted and something written to /boot, but while mounted as such, /boot and ESP are virtually the same, at least to the Linux system. I realize the EFI programs are ran before any OS and therefore don't really care about any OS specifics.
I wonder if the OP has confused the info between gummiboot and rEFInd (possibly from the Beginners Guide) because to me, after reading the gummiboot wiki, it just seems that it would be much simpler to just give gummiboot what it wants, i.e. ESP mounted at /boot, whether it's a separate partion or not. I'll have to take a look again at the Beginners Guide to see again the order of things there, but if it isn't, maybe it should be having the user ensure that pacman has completely updated the new system and then go on to the boot loader specifics. I was just thinking though, that the way the install medium is now, that it was automatically pulling the latest stuff down as part of the install process. I know it's not pulling testing or multilib without user intervention, but the core, stable stuff it is. That seems to be part of the confusion here maybe, 2 different versions of gummiboot with gummiboot changing some things between the 2 and maybe the kernels, too.
[EDIT] I took another look at the Beginner's Guide and it says that most users will probably want to use the [core], [extra], and [community] repos, which are enabled by default. It goes on to recommend that [multilib] be enabled for users wanting to run 32 bit programs and then reminds you to run #pacman -Sy to update the package lists, but not #pacman -Syu which would apply any changes from the repos since starting the install. Shouldn't matter much, even if the [multilib] repo was enabled because at that point no 32 bit libs have been installed, but it would matter if a user decided to enable the testing repos.
I wouldn't ordinarily recommend it, but in this case, if the OP is comfortable with the risk, then it might be useful to, at least temporarily, enable the [testing] repo and do #pacman -Syu to pull in the 3.8 kernel. Note that this is likely to also pull in other packages from [testing], but if you haven't installed X yet or any desktop environment, then what is pulled in shouldn't be too overwhelming. He can then immediately go back and disable [testing] if desired. I'm currently using testing without any issues, but there are risks to doing so.

[SOLVED] Installation to a Bcache Device - A Few Questions

I'm installing arch to a bcache device following instructions on this page:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bc … che_device
One thing I can't figure out.....
Step 1 is to boot into the install disc....DONE
.... at this point no partitioning has been done....
Step 2 is to install bcache-tools from the AUR.
Question: how can I install packages from the AUR if I don't have the base-devel group installed on my system yet? Am I overlooking a step or missing something obvious? Please help I'm stomped.

I figured as much. I guess I'm confused. Building packages from the AUR requires the base-devel group, does it not? So how can I install bcache-tools into the live environment?

SOLVED: Installation of NVidia Driver messes with BASH? (x86-64)

Hello,
I just started using Arch - I migrated here from Gentoo (I failed to compile a working kernel five times!) and the convoluted messiness of Debian (which had serious problems with the proprietary NVIDIA driver). Within three hours after I began installing Arch it booted fine and I got nearly all my devices to work. Yaaay!
I've recently encountered a peculiar problem that occurs after installing GNOME on a 64-bit system. I've re-installed Arch three times, and have seen this problem three times repeated: after all the gnome and gnome-extra packages have been downloaded, unpacked, configured, and installed, BASH no longer recognizes most of the programs that were already installed properly (and were working fine just beforehand);
I get "command not found" for such commands as make, dhcpcd, modprobe, ifconfig, even reboot and shutdown!!!
It may have something to do with a message I noticed somewhere in pacman's output that was something to the extent of "updating bash..."
...Is this a common problem? Or is this user error on my part? When I get home I'll retrieve the config files from my mid-tower's hard drive and post the non-comment parts if that will help diagnose the problem.

any idea?
I already checked if /usr/bin/bash is there, and yes, its there and working.
Also the installation of all other packages work, only openldap seem to fail...

I fixed it, stupid mistake.
I edited /etc/nsswitch.conf and put ldap in there before installing ldap. Seems like this is _not_ an good idea
thx for your help anyway

The setup program seems to have failed on x86/glibc-2.0
See http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/ for troubleshooting
In this case i also tried all variations of starting the binary, as above.
I also tried to extract the binary with the --keep parameter and start the setup.sh manualy (also with and without the linux32 command), but with the same results.
Is there a Problem with the LOKI installer?
Is there a lib, which i have to install?
Do i have to edit the setup.sh?
PLEASE HELP ME.......

[SOLVED] Installation on UEFI from usb stick

Greetings,
I'm trying to figure out this uefi thing and install arch on my laptop.
I swear, I've been trying so many times now that I have a headache. My girlfriend too because of all my ranting.
I downloaded the latest arch iso and "burned" it to a usb stick (my laptop lack a cdrom).
I booted with the first option and went through the whole installation progress to the grub installing part MANY times before realizing I was doing it all wrong and I had to start from a UEFI shell.
Now I started from the UEFI shell and I just have no idea what I'm doing, the beginner guide doesn't seem to explain this.
I should probably wait until my headache pass and I'm fresh and ready to start over but I'm one stubborn guyif there is one and I had enough of failing, I want it to work.
What do I do from the UEFI shell?
Do I have to reinstall everything from scratch, partitioning and all or I can just get back to the part where I have to install grub? What do I do?
Thanks in advance and sorry if I'm asking stupid questions or something but, honestly, I failed so many times that my frustration is seriously high.

Hi,
this is basically what I followed and it worked for me:
make an archlinux uefi usb stick (it's a bit different than a normal one). Use a live ubuntu cd or something, so you don't have to use windows:
#format your usb key on /dev/sdXY to fat32 (replace XY with the right device, in the following code too)
sudo su
wget http://mirror.us.leaseweb.net/archlinux/iso/2013.08.01/archlinux-2013.08.01-dual.iso
mkdir -p /mnt/{usb,iso}
mount -o loop archlinux-2013.08.01-dual.iso /mnt/iso
awk 'BEGIN {FS="="} /archisolabel/ {print $3}' /mnt/iso/loader/entries/archiso-x86_64.conf | xargs mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/sdXY -n
mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/usb
cp -a /mnt/iso/* /mnt/usb
sync
umount /mnt/{usb,iso}
full instructions here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … B_from_ISO
now you have the instalation usb ready.
When I did this, i could still go to choose my boot device and i had a normal usb key boot option and an uefi shell usb key option, see if you have something like that to be sure you have the uefi boot. you should see an uefi shell and it should boot automatically as a normal archlinux live usb. if it doesn not (happend to me before) run ./start.sh or something like that (it should say in the uefi shell what to run). If that doesn not work, then the uefi usb key didn't work.
okay if you've successfully booted the uefi usb you have to format your drive so it has the uefi boot partition mounted inside the grup folder, so there has to be a ef00 partition on the begining
This is my actuall install script, it will wipe your drive, make 5 partitions (uefi boot, boot, swap, root, home) and then mount them, install arch and then chroot into that
modprobe efivars
#configure this as you wish
SWAPSIZE=4G
ROOTSIZE=50G
DRIVE=sda
#these two lines are horrible, you could manually use gdist and format the drive as you wish, as this will just wipe it clean and make the partion table that I have.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/$DRIVE bs=1M count=1k
echo "2\no\ny\nn\n\n\n+100M\nef00\nn\n\n\n+100M\n\nn\n\n\n+${SWAPSIZE}\n8200\nn\n\n\n+${ROOTSIZE}\n\nn\n\n\n\n\np\nw\ny\n" | gdisk /dev/$DRIVE
mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/${DRIVE}1
mkfs.ext2 -L boot /dev/${DRIVE}2
mkswap -L swap /dev/${DRIVE}3
mkfs.ext4 -L root /dev/${DRIVE}4
mkfs.ext4 -L home /dev/${DRIVE}5
swapon /dev/${DRIVE}3
mount /dev/${DRIVE}4 /mnt
mkdir /mnt/home
mount /dev/${DRIVE}5 /mnt/home
mkdir /mnt/boot
mount /dev/${DRIVE}2 /mnt/boot
#this is the magic uefi part for grub
mkdir /mnt/boot/efi
mount /dev/${DRIVE}1 /mnt/boot/efi
pacstrap /mnt base base-devel zsh
genfstab -U -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
arch-chroot /mnt
After doing that, you have can install the system as you wish and for the grub I do this:
I had problems a few times if i copy pasted all these lines at once, so now i copy paste them one at a time, (I know it should not make a difference but still, sometimes it didn't work)
# i do this in chmod too, though I'm not sure if it's really necessary
modprobe efivars
mkinitcpio -p linux
echo "installing efi grup thingy"
pacman -S --noconfirm efibootmgr grub-efi-x86_64
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=arch_grub --recheck --debug
mkdir -p /boot/grub/locale
cp /usr/share/locale/en\@quot/LC_MESSAGES/grub.mo /boot/grub/locale/en.mo
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
and this is all i have in my install script file and uefi works fine. I hope you'll get it running soon

[SOLVED] Installation help - hostname and vconsole files don't exist

I've installed Arch several times in the past with no problems. I recently installed ArchBang on my laptop with no problems.
I'm trying to follow the guide here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … e#Download
but to me it seems quite incomplete.
I don't have any problems w/ downloading and burning, booting from CD, creating partitions and filesystems, mounting, pacstrap,
Then I follow the instructions on installing grub-bios, generating fstab, and I chroot.
That's when things go badly.
The first thing it says is to write my hostname to /etc/hostname. That file doesn't exist. It's easy enough to create, but how do I know what the file should look like. I assume it should simply contain the hostname, or should it say hostname = hostname? Anyway, moving on to the next problem.
I managed to generate the locale, but then it says to: Add console keymap and font preferences in /etc/vconsole.conf. Well that file doesn't exist either.
I try skipping that, and mkinitcpio completes successfully.
Then let's talk about installing grub. The only thing in /boot/grub in grub.cfg and grub.cfg.example, neither of which are readable. I'm expecting something like a grub.conf or a menu.lst that are easy to configue. This thing looks like some kind of script from hell. Am I supposed to make my own menu.lst?
Did I miss some huge step. I keep looking through it but I don't see what I'm missing.

Not at all: it is a good guide for people who know what they are doing and just need basic directions, not a 1:100 map...
As the fornt page of the Arch Wiki describes them:
Beginners' Guide

Installation Guide

[SOLvED]Installation restore after BIOS update. UEFI doesn't boot.

Hello.
In order to solve my trouble with firewire on my motherboard in was adviced -in the FW mailing list- to update the BIOS. As expected the boot entry created with efibootmgr was erased but thats fine and i knew it was going to happen.
The problem however is that neither archboot (USB) neither archiso (CD) nor ubuntu12.04 (USB) can boot into it so i can restore the uefi entries.
All hang with a blank screen. Ubuntu and Archboot booted fine in UEFI mode before the update.
I tried nomodeset, acpi=off and noapic but ended up with the same blank screen and no messages at all.

I downgraded to the previous (83) and to the original (70) and it doesn't boot in any of those two in UEFI.
It worked fine with version 70 before the morning update.

[SOLVED] Installer cannot create filesystems

I am trying to do a new install of Arch from the Apr-12 iso. My disk drive is gpt partitioned and I have prepartitioned it with two new partitions for Arch / and /home. So, when I am preparing the disk during the installation, I am skipping the partitioning step and going to the filesystems and block devices step. I go through the menu sequence to select one of my partitions, tell it to create an ext4 and use it for /. Then I give it no label and no ext4 options. It fails.
The message flashes very quickly at the bottom of the screen and is immediately covered back up by the blue installer screen. I have tried to stare at it and have caught that it is complaining about some expression not terminated properly. I have done nothing but select a partition from a menu and made other menu selections.
Also, the installer sees every partition on my drive as "raw". Is this normal? All other installers I have run do a better job of showing what kind of filesystem they have (or don't have), etc. Maybe there is something wrong with the way my gpt partitions are being detected by the installer.
Finally, mjheagle8 on freenode was trying to help me with this last night. He suggested I open a new tty and run mkfs.ext4 commands to create the filesystems. That was successful, but I still don't know how to get the installer to take them and use them for / and /home.
Thank you for any advice you can give. I can find nothing in the Wiki docs about what to do if the filesystems step fails. It just says to go back, correct the errors, and redo.

You can format with mkfs and then skip formatting with 'Manually configure block devices, filesystems and mountpoints' in installer. But it's really strange that installer can not handle it...
