Solved. Installer doesn't detect harddrives

Hello, so this is my first time trying to install arch linux outside of virtualbox and the installer doesn't seem to detect my hard drives.
I get to the point in installation where I'm supposed to partition my harddrives and nothing is there, so I selected other and by using "dmesg | grep sd" I managed to find out that the drive i wanted to contain my arch install was called sdb. I wrote /dev/sdb in the "other"-box and was able to partition my hard dive the way I want. However, when I get to the step where I'm supposed to set my filesystems mountpoints there is no detected hard drives and no "other" option, so I'm pretty much stuck there.
I have tried searching but I didn't find anything on this particular problem, only GRUB related issues. Is there anyone here that know how to solve this?
Sorry for my English, it's not my first language but hopefully i made some sense at least.
edit, I forgot to add that I have tried the legacy IDE booting method too, but it did not help.

I have no idea why the installer doesn't detect your hardrive, but you should be able to workaround by mounting the partitions manually.
- mount the root partition to /mnt
- create a directory in /mnt for each separate partition
- mount all the partitions
then go to the step after setting hard drives in the installer.
I'm not sure this will work, just try. the installer should complains that you did not set any mountpoints, maybe entering the Set Filesystem Mountpoints step, and exiting with DONE can fix this.
Thanks for your reply, will try that.
One question tho, how would I set the swap partition using that method?

[SOLVED] CUPS doesn't detect USB Samsung ML-2010 printer

Hi. I only speak a little English. Sorry for that.
I have got an USB Samsung ML-2010 printer. Before I used cups-usblp from AUR, and it worked. But it doesn't work now. The cups-usblp maintainer suggests to use cups instead of cups-usblp. Searching with google, it appears that other people don't have problems with this printer, cups, and archlinux. But I do. Cups' web interface doesn't detect it.
Well, this is how are the things now:

I miss archlinux, but I need to print.
What may be wrong? What may be I am missing?
Thanks a lot for your comments and help.

Solved!
Restarting cupsd didn't work.
But reinstalling cups...
$ sudo pacman -Rdc cups (it is a dependency of kdeadmin-system-config-printer-kde which I had installed)
$ sudo rm -r /etc/cups/*
I realize cupsd is already running:
$ ps aux | grep cupsd

$ sudo -SIGKILL 1549
$ ps aux | grep cupsd
felipe 1694 0.0 0.0 8416 1024 pts/1 S+ 21:13 0:00 grep cups
Ok. Reinstall cups
$ sudo pacman -S cups
Start cups daemon:

Open firefox. Go to web interface, bla, bla, bla.... And it's there!
I feel really silly. It was a fresh install, so I didn't think about reinstalling.
Printed some jobs and worked perfectly. I used the gutenprint driver.
Thanks a lot, pyther. I thought yours wasn't a very useful suggestion, but it really was. I'm so happy. I owe you.

[SOLVED]Firefox doesn't detect Flash plugin on a fresh installation

I have tried the package in extra and the package from AUR, but firefox still doesn't register the flash plugin. I'm probably just missing something here..
[tapio@Pochi flashplugin-alpha-64]$ ls /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/

Is there something extra I have to do other than installing the package? I looked at the old wiki page for using nspluginwrapper but I couldn't see anything that looked relevant..
Any help would be much appreciated.

Snow Leopard Installer doesn't detect my hard drive?! help!

After my earlier post, where my replacement 320gig hard drive is incorrectly (not GUID) partitioned, I backed everything up, made a time machine copy just to be safe, and set about formatting the entire drive, doing a fresh install, and then updating via one of my back ups etc.
However, when I tried restarting from the CDRom, it just hung on the Apple grey splash screen for about 10 minutes with nothing happening, I restarted and held one 'ALT' the two options were my hard drive and the Snow Leopard install disk - I selected the install disk and after short while I was presented with the installer.
The installer displayed no hard drive, nor did the disk utility within' the installer, I can't think what the problem could be, as, as soon as I ejected the installer cd, I booted straight back into my normal system (which I am writing this on now).
I really am stumped as what to do next, comments, suggestions and observations welcome :-D
Andy (D-F3ens)

I tried that and the both disk's pass the verification, the problem is the installer detecting my hard drive.
When i'm running 10.5 and try to install from the SL Disk it picks up the hard drive (but says it cannot install to this volume, use disk utility etc) - its when I restart and enter the installer via the splash menu, it fails to pick up my hard drive.
I cant see any other way of partitioning my drive to the required GUID, even when I made a seperate 20gig partition, it remains as Mac OSX Journaled on the same drive thats partition scheme is 'Apple Partition Map'.
Bootcamp will not help me either, I thought of creating a seperate partition and installing it to that, then reformatting the rest of the drive from within' SL, but Bootcamp says that it cannot modify the 'startup disk' and says it requires reformatting.
I really am stumped as to what to do next, I can't understand why the installer picks up the hard drive whilst its running, but when its in the installer it doesn't

Installation problems - Leopard installer doesn't recognise harddrive

I've installed a new drive in my Macbook Pro and am facing some problems installing 10.5 Leopard.
Specs of stuff are:
Machine: Macbook Pro 2.4 15.4in (Late 2007)
New drive: Western Digital Scorpio Blue 320Gb
Old drive: Fujitsu 160Gb (original drive)
So I backed everything up and dismantled the machine and fit the new drive. No problems there.
Booted from the 10.4 Tiger discs that came with the machine to do a fresh install. This detected the new drive fine, allowed me to partition it and merrily installed Tiger.
I then turned to the drop-in cd of Leopard that came with the machine to upgrade to Leopard. Booted into that fine and then the first problem. The installer says it can't fine a Tiger install to upgrade.
Disk utility from the install disk doesn't show the drive. Not just the partitions, but the drive itself.
System Profiler does show the drive but doesn't display much information about it, in particular, the "Partition Type" is listed as "Unknown".
So, I rebooted into Tiger and everything was fine.
Thinking the partition was somehow not right, I attached and external drive, and used a retail copy of Leopard to install 10.5 onto that. I then booted the machine from the external drive.
And the new internal drive appears when the machine is booted.
So the Leopard startup disc can't see the partition, but Leopard booted and running can. Very strange.
Anyway, when booted from the external drive, I wiped the new internal drive by writing zeroes to it. Re-created the partition (ensuring that the type was "GUID Partition Table" to make it bootable) a couple of times. Wrote zeroes again and partitioned again just to make sure and rebooted from the retail Leopard install disc.
And again, Leopard fails to show the new drive as an install destination or in Disk Utility. It does appear in the System Profiler again, but again it is listed as Partition Type: Unknown".
So in short, Tiger will detect and install to this drive, but Leopard won't even detect it from the install discs (both retail and upgrade).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben.

If you have a retail copy of Leopard I would suggest using it rather than first installing Tiger and trying to use an Upgrade disc.
As for the new drive I suggest doing the following:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the drop down menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
You should now be able to install OS X once the formatting has completed.

Installer doesn't detect all instances

I have 2 separate Oracle 8.0.5.1 instances running on a RedHat
6.0 server (2.2.10ac12). During the installation of 8i, the
Universal Installler detects only one of the databases, not both.
Both databases are the result of my own doing. Both instances
were created using essentially the same procedures. When I
installed 8.0.5, I chose custom install, and selected NOT to
create the sample database.
I'd like the installer to see all the instances so I can perform
the upgrade to all of them (AFTER I'm conviced it'll work). Right
now it sees only my production database, not my test db.
Does anyone know what the installer means by, "The Oracle
Universal Installer detected the databases listed below as
registered on your compute"? How does a database get "registered"
on a Linux box?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
null

A database is "registered" if there's an entry for it in
/etc/oratab. Plain and simple.
Sorry to bother you all.

[SOLVED]fdisk doesn't detect hard drives

As I'm progressing with installation of Arch, new problems come
When trying to partition brand new drive during the installation process, I've ran into problem that the drive isn't detected at all. I have 3 physical drives on this machine, including brand new SSD I want to work with (install Arch on), HDD with Windows and external USB stick which I booted from. However, while running either fdisk -l or lsblk only USB stick was to show up as physical drive. (There were other devices of type "loop" showing up when running lsblk, I don't think that they have smth to do with my issue) Important may be that both internal drives are connected to SATA3 ports, though BIOS can see them (and even boot Windows from) perfectly well.
Googling didn't really help, people were experiencing same problem with external USB hard drives, and the only solution related to Linux was to modify kernel to extend USB storage delay, but there are no parameters like that to work with SATA.
SOLUTION: so the problem seems to be with SATA3, one needs to switch drive loading option from IDE to AHCI in BIOS, though nothing like that is on wiki.
keep creating unnecessary topics :uneasy:

11.1.1.5 Install Issue - Installer Doesn't Detect WebLogic

Hi all,
I'm trying to install 11.1.1.5 on a single Windows 2008 64-bit machine and I've run into a bit of a snag.
I've successfully installed the 64-bit JDK and WebLogic 10.3.5, and the necessary schemas have been created via RCU.
I'm to the point now where I'm attempting to do a software-only install for OBIEE. The installer reaches the 'Installation Location' screen, where it detects the Middleware Home. It defaults to our current middleware home (D:\Oracle\MiddleWare), which is good, however there is an alert that says "An Application Server must already be installed", as if it can't detect WebLogic. This is preventing me from moving forward with the installation.
WebLogic is installed in that middleware home and it's running (single domain, Admin Console), so I'm not sure why the installer can't find it.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Jim
Edited by: user2405615 on May 31, 2011 1:25 PM

I'm back up and running now. The installer pre-populated MW_HOME correctly (d:\Oracle\Middleware) but apparently didn't recognize the WL install there. I clicked Browse and manually selected the very same MW_HOME directory and the installer immediately detected WL and allowed me to continue. Very odd.
Cheers all,
Jim

[solved] Pulseaudio doesn't detect sound card after system update

Before a recent system update I had pulseaudio working flawlessly, but after doing a recent system update with pacman -Syu,
pulseaudio no longer sees my sound card and only displays the Dummy audio device. Among the packages updated that I can
remember off the top of my head are the Linux keneral, udev, kmod, instead of trying to roll back my system I figured I would try
to fix the issue. The only thing suggested in the Pulseaudio wiki is that a asound.conf directory is overriding the /etc/asound.conf
file which is not the case on my system.
Looking at the output from lsmod I can see where the kernel modules for the sound card is getting loaded
snd_hda_intel 23375 0
snd_hda_codec 89160 3 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_codec_hdmi
snd_hwdep 6389 1 snd_hda_codec

snd_page_alloc 7153 2 snd_pcm,snd_hda_intel

and looking at the output from the ps command I can see that pulseaudio is getting started

LR6 installer doesn't detect LR5 already installed

I purchased LR6 as an upgrade from LR5. On both my desktop and laptop the LR6 install did not detect that LR5 was already installed, complained that a qualifying product had not been detected, and asked for the previous LR version and serial number.
I had the current version of LR5 - 5.71 - installed on both machines.

I had the same experience.

You may need to patch the kernel. Try the arch-scsi option though.
I have a patched kernel for SII 3512. I had to install to an ide drive, patch and recompile the kernel, then transfer to my SATA drive (/dev/hde)

Here, I dug up an old file I have kicking around.
Put it in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf
Name it anything you want instead of "alsa.conf" as long as the file name ends in ".conf"
options snd_hda_intel enable=1,0 vid=8086,10de pid=3b56,0bea
options snd_hda_intel index=0 vid=8086 pid=3b56
The VID and PID numbers are from my hardware. You will have to replace them from your hardware. Do:
lspci -nn | grep -i audio
And you will see both your on-board and nVidia audio devices. Look for [xxxx:xxxx] in the listing. The first xxxx is your VID - vendor, and the second xxxx is your PID - product/part.
In the "enable=1,0" line put the two VID's first with you on-board being the first VID and then put your two PID's with your on-board being the first PID. Then in the "index=0" line put your on-board VID and PID.
This will disable the nVidia audio and just enable your on-board audio. It will explicitly set your on-board audio to be the first audio device on your system. This will fix a race condition.
Remember, you must put in the appropriate VID and PID's for your specific hardware.
PulseAudio builds on top of ALSA so you are configuring your ALSA devices at a lower level before Pulse starts and when Pulse starts it adds its layer on top of that.
Another assumption is that both audio devices are using snd_hda_intel which is a pretty safe assumption. Use "lsmod" to confirm this.

Brasero doesn't detect CD burner

I had this problem in my other Arch installation and haven't solved it yet.
I installed brasero, followed the post-install instructions but when I hit the Burn button, it seems that it doesn't detect the CD burner drive and lets me write only to a file image. Same problem while running it under root (so no permission problem probably)
This is the only error I get when running it under my regular user:
** (brasero:17100): WARNING **: hal_initialize failed: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
and while running under root:

** (brasero:17114): WARNING **: hal_initialize failed: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
How can this be solved?

Great, it works.
I never really knew what this HAL was, but I remembered it had something to do with issues like this, so I added my user to the hal group. too bad I didn't start it
Thanks.

HP installer will not detect networked LaserJet MFP M1536dnf just on some PCs

Hello,
this printer/scanner was working fine (printer still works fine via a Windows print server). Then scanning (via network) stopped working on one PC (Windows 7).
Tried to uninstall drivers / HP software and reboot. Then tried to install again - HP Installer will not detect printer on the network no matter what. I can ping the IP of this printer, access its web interface without any issues on the same PC. Tried specifying IP address in the installer - does not detect, the same issue with MAC address.
Had a Windows 8 machine with drivers / software installed on it, tested - scanning still worked fine on that PC. Tried to remove HP software to see if problem will appear. And it did! I cannot install the same software package which I still had in downloads - it will NOT detect the printer on network.
Upgraded printer firmware - no change, even though I don't expect this to be a printer issue as it worked fine until I have uninstalled software on this W8 machine.
Tried using HP Scan & Print doctor. That thing doesn't see printer/scanner installed and only suggest to download and install software which is not helpfull at all.
I also tried extracting HP installation files and finding *.inf files which could be used to add scanner via Windows directly, but haven't succeded with that (I would also be not sure how to specify network IP address in such a case anyway).
Any help is MUCH appreciated. We are kind of stuck...
Thanks!

Hi,
Run some diagnostics and see if any issues are discovered.
There have been reported issues with the NVIDIA 650 with some of the HP PCs. Additionally, most models of the NVIDIA 650 require a 400 watt power supply as the minimum and some models require a PCI six (6) pin power connector which the 300 watt power supply in your PC is not provisioned.

brand new Win7 installation, restored iTunes folder and installed latest 10.4. iTunes64 bit.
Hooked up both my iPad and iPhone4
Detected new firmware 4.3.4
and bang, both devices are now stuck into recovery mode.
No matter I set the iPad/iPhone into Recovery or DFU mode, iTunes will not detect any device for recovery.
Uninstall/Install iTunes => no change
The driver will display that the units is detected and in DFU or Recovery mode, but iTunes doesn't detect the device.
Tried TinyUmbrella etc but no fix
Any other hint?
Best Regards
Uwe

Place the device in DFU mode (google it) then restore.

Solved. Installer doesn't detect harddrives
