[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?

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 Your database was out of date, therefore pacman was looking for things which would no longer exist on any up to date mirror.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.
Now it is corrected and running
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
Please mark the thread as solved.

[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

>>> 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...

configure:6227: $? = 1
configure: program exited with status 1

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>

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>

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):

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.

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
Last edited by dlin (2011-08-13 01:04:50)

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] Installing modemmanager + accessing aur + misc issues

Hi All:
I am new to Arch. It was a very learning and trying experience getting Arch up and running with Gnome 3, and wireless connectivity etc., but it was a lot of fun and the system is very fun to use.. Now, I have Network Manager installed so that I can also connect to the internet using a datacard (USB modem) as well as wireless internet when in office.
After struggling to get the modem out of the CD mode, installing modemmanager, and usb_modeswitch, things were working ok, sort of. Network Manager detected my datacard and showed it in available connections in the applet (in the clutter notification).. When I clicked on it to try and connect, nothing happens. I then open Network Settings, and go to Mobile Broadband tab, and click on "Options" but nothing shows up. I thought maybe, modemmanager didn't install properly so I try uninstalling it, and re-installing and try again. I guess I did this a couple of times without thinking.. Somewhere in the middle of it all, modemmanager got messed up, and when I did "clyde -Qi modemmanager", it showed like (typing this from memory):
extra/modemmanager <version-number>
Null
So, I uninstalled it ("clyde -R modemmanager"), and tried reinstalling it (clyde -S --repos modemmanager), but it won't install. It keeps saying that there are many files are that already existing so installation is aborted. I am not sure if I can delete those files (some are in the d-bus folder etc).. Without modemmanager, my USB modem won't show up on the network manager applet anymore.
I wanted to post the contents of that error message here, using pastebin, but that brings me to the next problem:
Some websites are not accessible from my Arch installation. The websites I know aren't working are:
1. Aur website (doesn't load),
2. Arch forums (loads but won't let me post),
3. pastebin.com (loads but won't let me post),
4. Youtube (loads site but video won't load).
These sites work fine from my windows installation. Also, sending email via IMAP on thunderbird is very whimsical. I think if the message is bigger than a particular size, it gets stuck halfway.. Searching for the youtube issue, I found someone saying that setting MTU on the network manager will solve it. So, I set MTU to 1436 bytes. (or something close) That solved the youtube problem, but the remaining problems still persist.
Sorry I am not able to give all the error messages here yet, because of the website accessing problem in my Arch installation. I am posting this from windows. Another problem I was having was not being able to write to my NTFS partition from Arch (even with root privileges) but I will leave that to another time/thread, because I still think there are things I can try to get that working..
I will try and use a wired connection to see if that solves the problems. Meanwhile, any suggestions on how I can cleanup the modemmanager files so I can re-install it would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Maha

Ok, fixed it thanks to some very helpful people in the IRC channel. Many thanks.
I think my main mistakes was using clyde for installing from the repo, and not letting clyde finish properly once.. Removed the files after checking with pacman -Qo that they don't belong to any package. Then reinstalled modemmanager from the repo. Used nm-connections-editor to add the modem settings, and all set now!
As for the website/posting problem, somehow it seems to have vanished. Either my router has some intermittent issues or MTU = 1426 bytes is somehow sacred.. Anyways, marking this post as [SOLVED].

[Solved] Installed Arch, I have a kernel problem.

Hi guys, I'm new here, but I use only linux since 2003. I have a problem at boot... When I choose arch from the bootloader I get this:
ERROR: Failed to parse block device name for '/dev/sda6'
ERROR: root fs cannot be detected. Try using the rootfstype= kernel parameter
Or something very very similar. I see that I'm not the only one experiencing this problem so I try solving by myself following hints I've found on this forum... but nothing changed.
I need help
This is what you have to know:
/etc/mkinitcpio.conf:
MODULES=""
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata keymap filesystems"
I also tried with ide...
fstab

That's very curious. I'm just having this problem after installing the lowlatency kernel from this repo:
Server = http://arch.madfire.net/proaudio/i686
So I've just changed the initrd /boot/kernel26.img to /boot/kernel26rt.img and I'm getting exactly the same error. I've also tried changing sda with hda in the grub's menu.lst but nothing changed...

That's a solution. Just mark your thread solved by editing your first post and prepending [SOLVED] to the title.

[Solved]Installing on two drives

I'm aware you can have a partitioned install on the one drive. I assumed you could do the same but with two hard drives and I have run into some trouble.
Is it in fact possible to have /dev/sda as the (/) root partition and /dev/sdb as the /home partition?
Is the mounting any different?
I was using;
mount /dev/sda /mnt
mkdir /mnt/home
mount /dev/sdb /mnt/home
then pacstraping to /mnt.
SOLVED; Mounting sda1 and sdb1 instead of sda and sdb, disks have 1 partition each taking up the entire volume.
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
mkdir /mnt/home
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/home

How silly of me. That explains the problems I was having.
Thank you very much.

[SOLVED] Installing Arch on usb stick - login to emergency mode only

I have checked fstbe which is correct
block is in HOOKS line. Also added ext4 to MODULES
not but not least, i have used that usb for live distros and full installs. also portioned with gparted
most attractive errors in log are
kvm disabled in bios (i am installing only 32 bit version, booted to 32bit)
can not execute plymouth
any ideas
thanks in advance

I understand that. but both UUIDs and devices (/dev/sdX) are there in fstab if I am correct. I will check that in evening. if so did i make a mistake in generating fstab.
I have generated fstab with
genfstab -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab (does this happens if i forget -p).
as I have done this multiple times, I might have done some thing wrong. I will edit that file manually and removed /dev/sdx entries from that
Honestly, you are not very good at sharing what is actually in your configs. So as Trilby said above, no one really knows what is in your fstab, since you have not actually shared that with this thread.
As far as I can tell, when I run "genfstab -p /" on my running machine, letting the output just be dumped to stdout, it doesn't give me UUIDs anywhere. And from your statement it seems you haven't even actually checked.
What I have done in the past is used labels. For example if you are using ext2, ext3, or ext4, you could assign a label using "e2label". So lets say you label your rootfs (/) "usb_root". Now instead of using the unreliable /dev/sdXY format, you can use LABEL=usb_root in your fstab, and in the bootloader you can use root=LABEL=usb_root (or root=/dev/disk/by-label/usb_root).
I would also like to mention that this quote sucks:
Archhotep wrote:No. UUIDs are there in the boot loader (I think) and grub was working fine and why the system is trying to boot at first place.
There are a number of people who are patiently trying to walk you through this issue (with quite a bit more hand holding that usually takes place around here), and you don't have the decency/appreciation to even take the time to confirm what you are actually using in the configs that everyone is telling you to check and/or change.
Sir,
I was a standard linux (i mean ubuntu etc) user until sometime back. I don't know exactly what should be there in /etc/fstab. I also do not know what information you might need to help me. If any one asked me the details about /etc/fstab etc might have provided. I have given what info what I felt was appropriate and enough. I do not have that machine with me when I was posting lat post, otherwise I might have posted. that laptop is at home. I already said thanks in my third post immediately after I solve the problem.
Sorry if I am wrong, and thatnk you once again for letting me about labels.
If I still have a question about /etc/fstab, i will post my fstab.
I don't know where to look to know that my boot loader is using uuid or dev. It would be great help.

(Solved) Install Issues

I have been going through the install, installed base, updated and followed wiki for rest of install . However there are 2 issues stopping the finalisation of the install.
1. Cannot get Xserver to work
2. Cannot get Gdm to work
I have tried many different configs for xorg.conf, I have I believe install all drivers(as per wiki) and been reading the xorg.0.log file and troubleshooting those errors but still no go. Here is my last log file which really doesn't seem to have any great error at all but still it wont work. Can I get a hand to get this thing going please.

This is my .xinitrc file
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
# exec wmaker
# exec startkde
# exec icewm
# exec blackbox
# exec fluxbox
# exec gnome-session
exec xterm
I did the startx with xterm installed but still no go #!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
# exec wmaker
# exec startkde
# exec icewm
# exec blackbox
# exec fluxbox
exec gnome-session
I see this error at the end of when X crashes everytime

FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.
and if it helps here is my inittab which I altered for gdm purposes from the wiki advice http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Start_X_at_boot
