[SOLVED] new install hangs at fsck

Hi all,
I am trying my first install on the new installation media 10-6. Everything seemed to go smoothly until I rebooted. Now boot hangs at Filesystem is clean. The full message I am stuck on is below.
fsck.jfs version 1.1.15, 04-Mar-2011
processing started: 10/31/2012 11:23:56
The current device is: /dev/sda3
Block size in bytes: 4096
Filesystem size in blocks: 14080972
**Phase 0 - Replay Journal Log
Filesystem is clean.
Then I have nothing. The computer is a lenovo thinkpad t420. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I ran into something similar yesterday.. I'm not sure it's the same problem but here's what I tried and found.
*After an unsucessful boot, restart your computer and boot off the installation media
*Mount your paritions on /mnt as you would for a fresh install.
*Run arch-chroot /mnt to chroot into your installation.
*Now you can run journalctl to see all messages logged during boot. There will be a ton of them, so hit 'G' to scroll to the bottom.
*Look for messages in red or white.
Now, in my case I found some errors from nouveau and dri. After those errors, the logs went on to show that the system fully booted, although I never got past the fsck step on the screen. A bit of searching found posts about problems with nouveau and dual graphics cards (I have on-board GPU + a Nvidia card). Some posts mentioned adding the nomodeset option to your kernel line in grub. Doing this allowed me to boot up, and after installing the nvidia driver, I was able to remove this option and still boot.
Hope this helps.
Edit: grub config with nomodeset
echo 'Loading Linux core repo kernel ...'

[SOLVED] lxde (new install) hangs at startup

Fresh install of Arch. X configured and working fine (tested using WindowMaker) - nvidia card + hal + evdev.
Installed LXDE. startx Panel and desktop appear, but no mouse or keyboard (I can Ctrl-Alt-F1 to kill X). No errors in Xorg0.log. Also tried svn build of lxsession-lite and lxpanel from AUR, same behavior.
I don't think it's an X issue b/c WindowMaker works flawlessly.

Ack, it wasn't installed! So obvious, how did I miss it? I blindly assumed it was installed as part of the lxde group, and never thought to check.
Thanks!

New install hangs on boot when GDM or LXDM services are enabled

Greetings Arch users,
I've been trying out installing Arch on a USB drive in order to get familiar with the process and use it on my main machine in the future. I've been following the Beginners' Guide, and after a few hiccups, I managed to install what appears to be a fully-functional Arch system onto a 16 GB USB drive, albeit without a window manager or desktop environment.
When I tried that is where I ran into problems. I installed X, vesa driver, and GNOME and enabled gdm.service, and upon the next reboot the system hung after or in the middle of the fsck process, exactly as described in this thread.
rebooted, hangs after the fsck bit where it says something like /dev/sda4: clean, 112977/9296096 files, 185427/21217024 blocks
I just get the blinking cursor. I left it there long enough to take a nap and nothing else came up.
Examining the journalctl output, I see an error exactly like mentioned in this thread:
GLib-GObject-CRITICAL: g_object_ref: assertion 'object->refcount > 0' failed
GLib-GObject-CRITICAL: g_object_unref: assertion 'object->refcount > 0' failed
Chrooting into the system and disabling gdm.service allowed for normal boot.
Well, I thought, maybe there's an issue with GDM or GNOME. I'll try LXDE and LXDM instead. Unfortunately, that hung at the exact same point in the loading process. Looking at the journalctl, I saw an output exactly like what was described in this thread:
Lxdm.service main process exited code=exited status=1/FAILURE
lxdm.service entered failed state
I'm stumped. I've searched and haven't come up with anything. Does anyone have any ideas about what might be the cause? What additional information would be helpful in diagnosing the issue? Thank you for your help.

GDM then restarts immediately. Problem recurring each boot.
Can you check the logs (dmesg, journalctl, xorg) and see if there are any differences for the startup of GDM before and after a successful GDM start.
Technically from the lack of information you provided it's not possible to state if you actually have the same issue or not. It might be better for you to start your own separate thread.
If you start your separate thread please provide some more details so people don't need to start guessing.
I think I'll just RTM.

[SOLVED] New Install of Gnome 3.2 doesn't feel like loading

Greetings,
Before making this post, I have spent the majority of the day trying to solve this issue. I have switched from nvidia drivers to nouvela (sp?) drivers, incase that was the issue. I have scoured google, arch-wiki, and the forums until my eyes have bled. I have dug through the xsession-errors log to search out any missing components that might be causing this... but to no avail. If anything, trying to run and try Gnome 3.2 has made me feel like a complete idiot, who has obviously learnt nothing after years of using linux. So, I come here hoping that some one can point me to the solution my brain cannot itself come up with.
Here the situation:
I have been running KDE4 for quite some time happily. I have ran Gnome 3 back in its beginning days succesfully as well, but that was an older, now dead, pc. Having seen some neat little things about the new Gnome 3.2, I got an itch to give it a try. So, I go and follow the Gnome article on the excellent arch wiki- installing both gnome and gnome extras, letting it grab everything, change from kdm to gdm, and reboot.
Well, it gives me the old gdm I remember from the early gnome 3 days (wasn't this changed) despite it showing that it is GDM 3.2 via pacman. It shows my user name, lets me put my password, and shows the stripped background. One thing to note is that the cursor remains a clock face, never changing to a pointer.
I log in, choosing GNOME, all that remains is the wallpaper, with the clockface cursor, no pointer. I go take the kids to the bus stop, come back apx. 20 min. later, no change.
Ok, bug crushing time right? So I go through the steps. I make sure that gnome shell is indeed installed. I remove any config files (there weren't any), remove gnome shell, reinstall. No go. I rinse and repeat, but removing & reinstalling different things, such as GDM, and even gnome completely. No go.
Hopping into pekwm, I search. I make copies of the xsession-errors each time, and load them in pekwm after a reboot, looking through with pacman by myside to make sure I have any possible missing files. And finally after failure after failure I give up, and come here.
So, here's my xsession-errors log. Please, if anyone can help, or even offer any kind of suggestion that might spark something in my brain to get me going in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it. If this thread needs moved, merged, etc, please do so... I've searched the forums, but now my brain is numb, so yeah...

Ok, I guess all it took was for me to post this to wake up and be able to solve the issue.
It is simple really. I just needed to re-install libltdl.
So, for those searching, if you get this similar problem,
pacman -S libltdl
is what solved it for me.

[SOLVED] New installation hangs on boot at two different places

Hello
I recently made my another attempt at installing arch on a new desktop build. Previous successful attempts were old laptops.
I followed the Beginner's Guide on the Arch wiki.
Currently it stops at one of two places in the boot process:
1. [ OK ] Found device Samsung_SSD_850_EVO_500GB BOOTARCH
Starting File System Check on /dev/sdb6…
2. [ OK ] Started Journal Service
[ OK ] Started udev Kernel Device Manager
I can not consistently recreate either scenario, but it seems to be random which of the two places it stops. Cold boot and CTRL ALT Delete. I doubt that has anything to do with it, but thought I'd add it anyway.
Current setup:
Hardware:
Motherboard - ASUS Z97 Pro (using ethernet adapter and sound on here)
Processor - Intel 4790K
Memory - 16 GB
Graphics - Gigabyte G1 Nvidia GTX 970 SLI x2
Storage - Samsung 850 SSD 500 GB and WD Black HDD 3 TB
I've also configured it to use a static IP
I started this journey by using the live Gparted CD to create partitions. I created two partitions on the SSD. One for windows 8.1 and one for linux. I then created two partitions on the HDD. One for windows, one for linux.
I installed windows 8.1 first. It divided up the partition I gave it. I am able to run Windows. Once that was done I began installing Arch.
I used the Feb 2015 ISO from the torrent.
Current partition scheme for linux:
sda1 /home
sda3 /swap
sda4 /var
sdb1 /
sdb6 /boot
sda is the HDD and sdb is the SSD
The other partitions not listed are for windows. To boot into windows, I use F8 to choose the windows boot manager partition. It currently defaults to the linux partition.
During the install, I mounted the root partition first. I then created directories for each of the other partitions and then mounted them. Home, var, and root are all ext4. Boot is FAT32, and Swap is swap.
I read where I made a couple of mistakes the first attempt on this computer and did a wipe and reinstall again. First mistake was not knowing that /boot needed to be FAT. I then learned that /swap does not need to be in the fstab. I also learned that a FAT partition can not use UUID in the fstab so I took that out and just used /dev/sdb6 instead.
I have run out of things to search for at this point and need help to continue moving forward.
Bellow is the current /etc/fstab. It was generated using
genfstab -U -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
and then edited as noted above
#/dev/sdb1 LABEL=archroot
UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 1
#/dev/sdb6 LABEL=BOOTARCH
#UUID=xxxxxxxxx
/dev/sdb6 /boot vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 2
# /dev/sda1 LABEL=linux\134x20home

#/dev/sda4 LABEL=archvar
UUID=xxxxxxxxxx /var ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 2
#/dev/sda3
#UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx none swap defaults 0 0
Thanks for any help that can be provided

I tried removing gummiboot and installed GRUB2. That didn't work.
As to the UUID's, I just typed in xxxxx's for the post because I didn't feel like transcribing random letters and numbers.
So after reading Head_on_a_Stick's suggestion, I redid my partitions and reinstalled arch again following the Beginner's wiki page and using gummiboot
New Partitions are as follows:
sda1 /home
sda3 /swap
sda4 /var
sdb1 /
sdb3 /boot (originally created from windows install)
Also, I took a screenshot from Gparted of the two disks if there is any info on there that may be of use

New install, hangs at "GRUB Loading ..."

I just finished installing Arch on a new system, following the beginners guide, and everything went fine, until I restarted the system.
It shows "GRUB Loading ...", and a blinking cursor, and nothing else. The GRUB menu never comes up.
Has anyone encountered this before?
I'd say I have a fairly simple setup:
/boot /dev/sda1 ext2 300MB
/ ext4 /dev/sda2 120GB
I made the partitions with fdisk, so I have the "old" MBR partition table.
I have installed grub with:
(boot the install medium)
loadkeys hu
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot
arch-chroot /mnt
pacman -S grub-bios
grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck /dev/sda
(Grub install finishes, says no errors detected)
cp /usr/share/locale/en\@quot/LC_MESSAGES/grub.mo /boot/grub/locale/en.mo
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
exit
umount /mnt/boot
umount /mnt
reboot
And then I'm back to the hanging BIOS Loading screen.
Edit:
There were some pieces of information regarding an encrypt root drive, I have retried the install without encrypting the root drive, and the problem perists.
Edit2:
Syslinux boots it just fine.

Yes, 2 MiB if GPT is used. That's what I meant. And don't use "/dev/sda1" or "/dev/sda2" when installing GRUB. You want to install to the MBR, so use /dev/sda.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … bootloader
Also: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … partitions
Pay attention, because the mounting order is important.
First, mount the root partition on /mnt.
Then mount the /home partition and any other separate partition (/boot, /var, etc), if you have any.
So do not mount the boot partition first, then the root partition after. That's just wrong.
You mentioned encryption earlier. Well? Which is it? Encrypted or not? Because you can't just mount it like any regular partition if it's encrypted.
If you still want to go with Syslinux, see the Basic Config for encryption examples.

Dad needs Help, 180 New Install- Hang on Verify Pool DMI

Trying to build a new system with my son, he has put it together (with supervision) and I can't get the SW to load.... So not looking too good right now...
Bought a Mega 180
Amd Sempron 2400 proc
Segat 120G Drive
Sony DRU-540 DCD+-RW/+-RCD Drive
Corsair 512Mb (2 DDR-Dims)
Assembled the machine. Went smoothly, needed to reseat ram simms once. Got the system to boot to bios. Windows xp pro failed to install. Friend had a set of dev discs and had a made me a copy and given me one of his licenses. Install had started and hung on loading before being asked for serial number.
On reboot system hangs in bios screen with
Verify DMI Pool ....
What to i do next? thx in advance

I would suspect you have another computer. If so download the lastest BIOS for it from the Msi web site. Then useing a USB key or connecting a floppy drive then flash it in DOS.
The floppy connecter is on the mother board just no cable, also by default the floppy drive is turned off in BIOS so you will need to enable it.
If you are going to use a floppy disc to reprogram then do a full disc scan on the disc with the drive you will be using, the last thing you want is to have a bad disc. If you do have a bad disc and you only find out during flashing then keep that machine turn on and with you other PC load the BIOS on another disc and try again (don't turn it off).
Links that could help

USB FLASH

QuickTime new install hangs, freezes executing MOV files?

Once worked?
A iTunes user I have removed & reinstalled ITunes back having same issue never fixed awhile (I did not know it was I QuickTime thing)
I tried to run any video in iTunes or podcast and it freezed.. I lost mouse keybd everything Reboot!
That was iTunes on another ticket suggested that I remove & reinstalled... same problem, never did solve it?
Today I tried QT, running a MOV from fresh boot, to execute a MOV file, one that worked and I created a year ago..
I went repair soft and apps in control panel, then finally remove & reloaded it, Quicktime still freezes when executing a MOV file.

1] Try it with another user account (make one if you need to in Apple menu > System Preferences > Accounts)
2] If its only happening in your account:
Inside your hard drive, in the Users folder should be your user home folder (with your account name.) Within that folder is a folder called Library... open that and look for a QuickTime folder within, pull that QuickTime folder out to the Desktop. Do the same for Internet Plug-ins and throw away the ~/Library/Caches/QuickTime folder too. Then, open Preferences and pull out com.apple.quicktime... (all of them) and the QuickTime Preferences file.
Then log out (Apple menu) and back in (or restart) and try again.
3] If its happening for all users then try:
Pull the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plist to the desktop (Your QuickTime Pro registration is in that file so don't throw it away, just move it out, restart and try again.)
4] If there are still problems, try repairing your disk either with the OS X install disc (run Disk Utility from the menu bar) or by rebooting in Singel-User-Mode and running fsck. Then repair permissions with Disk Utility.
Let us know if you still have trouble.

[SOLVED] New install does not see SSD drive

Ok, I have a DFI motherboard which at first did not recognize my new Intel SSD drive I have installed. After updating the BIOS, it now correctly recognizes it. However when I run the 2009.2 cd and try to prepare the drives, it does not show any drives listed?
/sbin/fdisk -l
does not show any drives either so it looks like arch cant see any installed HD's which makes since, but the motherboard does show the new Intel SSD as a Sata drive right under my DVD player?
Any help?
Edit: I hooked up my old Seagate drive and it shows up fine. Any idea on why this SSD is not playing nice?
Solved: I have come to the conclusion this has nothing to do with the Arch install, but is simply a hardware issue with my motherboard. I installed the SSD drive in my wifes pc, it seen the ssd as a sata drive while booting, it seen it when arch was initializing, it seen it when I did a fdisk, and when i finally tried to install, it was there too!!
So there must be some issue with my old DFI MB. I will work on that or upgrade..Thanks to everyone who helped out...

I had trouble with my throttle device not making contact with the data lines when connected to USB.
I assume the SSD has the same connector as the motherboard and the cable can be reversed end to end to test for performance.
I use a multimeter to verify the presence of power to the device.
Sata cables are known to be flaky.
Throttle devices use 5vdc power from USB connector and are connected to esata cables at the same time since sata ports do not supply power. The connections for throttle are on opposite ends of the device.
I am not familiar with the SSD power setup but assume it is 5vdc as well.
No other suggestions here..................
Yes, the cable should be able to be reversed as the ssd drives are identical compared to normal sata drives in respect to the cable connections: one sata data connection and one power. I will try some different cables and see if that helps. I did try a new port on the mb which did not work, and when i used the current cables on my older seagate drive it worked fine

[Solved] grub-install hangs

I have an install of ARCH linux on a 2 partitioned hard drive with Ubuntu on a separate partition. Originally the drive contained a 64 bit version of Ubuntu on the first partition. I moved the drive to a different (32 bit) computer and installed 32 bit Ubuntu on the second partition. I then reformatted the first partition and installed 32 bit ARCH running update-grub from Ubuntu which found the new ARCH installation without any difficulty. As this seems to be becoming my main distribution I would like to reinstall grub2 from ARCH. I installed grub2 from the extra repository (1.98-5). When I enter 'sudo grub-install /dev/sda' the command hangs indefinitely. I attempted this in single user mode as well.
I did note the following appearing in /var/log/errors.log and the kernel log:
Aug 18 14:02:46 localhost kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
.. (repeated several times... eventually...)
Aug 18 17:20:54 localhost kernel: Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0
This seems odd as I don't have a floppy drive connected. Running grub install with the --no-floppy option produced the same result.
EDITED TO ADD: It appears as though the floppy drive related errors are occurring specifically when grub-install is executing. Further they seem to occur when the --no-floppy flag is included. It appears as though the script is stuck repeatedly trying to access the floppy drive despite the flag.
EDITED WITH SOLUTION: I disabled the floppy drive in the system bios (no drive is/was connected) and grub installed without issue. I didn't realize I had the non-existent drive enabled as oddly ubuntu had no problem with installing grub while the ARCH version ignored my explicit instructions to disregard the floppy drive.
Any suggestions most appreciated!

[SOLVED]new install flashplugin-prerelease not working

Hi,
I installed arch on my new Acer aspire one last night, I couldn't get flash to start working. I'm trying to stick to 64bit applications, so I decided to install the prerelease from AUR. It's installed but for some reason Firefox, Chromium can't find it. I've also installed gecko-media-player which is also not being recognized by firefox. about:plugins just tells me no plugins are found. I guess there's something missing but I can't find an answer anywhere. Help!

Yes I did, I checked around a bit seems like /usr/lib/mozilla/ had permissions set to 700 setting it to 755 fixed the problem. Hmm, looks like starting firefox as root first sets the permission to 700.
It's a bug.

New Install Hangs

Hi all,
I have just installed iMovie 08 on Leopard and before using it checked for any updates, Which it did successfully. Restarted iMac.
Launch iMovie but it just hangs and gives the spinning wheel of death and I have to force quit it as it is not responding.
Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated as this is becoming increasingly frustrating.
Cheerio.

Here is a fix for Leopard on Intel.
It's in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1207400&tstart=30
from race86:
Hey All:
My fix is alot easier than apples. In the Library/quicktime folder you need to look at each DivX file and check it using "get info" or "more info". Under Kind, you keep the one that says (Universal). The older DivX files go to the trash. After I did that, everything worked perfectly.

(Solved) new install on jfs filesystem fails with vi

I just tried to do a fresh install from the 201307 image and found out that the colon in the vi package will not download onto an jfs filesystem.
Sad since jfs has always been my choice since using mythtv package. It seems to work faster especially deleting large files.
I guess it's onto ext4 then.
Not sure if this should be reported as a bug. Just to inform
cheers

No need to reply, Just a late night blunder. All is fine.

FWIW, I don't even install vi, as I don't use it. I have never tried this with a package group before, but what if you do "pacman -S base --ignore vi" (or with pacstrap).
Not a bug. Pick a better filesystem. We've been through this before.

My macbook started crashing on startup. The startup tone wavers. I got it going with the option start keystroke. Is this apt to be software or hardware? I ordered new system software to see if a new install will solve.

when you install the disc, do it with the machine powered off. Place the disc in the the slot, push it in while holding the power switch tp poer it up, while holding the "C" key down till the gear starts spinning. After the gear starts spinning you can release the C key and wait. This takes much longer than normal longer, then create a new account. Be ready to wait.
USE YOUR ORIGINAL INSTALL DISC!

[SOLVED] new install hangs at fsck
