[Solved] No Terminus in the system

Installed terminus-font package. Added
xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/local
xset fp rehash
to .xinitrc, rebooted, but still no terminus in the system. What else should I do?

> I guess it is while I run third initlevel and GDM. I performed "xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/local" manually in Gnome though, so it's done anyway.
xinitrc is ignored when GDM is used.
I did now:
$ xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/local
$ xset fp rehash
$ fc-list | sed 's,:.*,,'| sort -u | grep -i terminus
No output...
It should show up in gnome-terminal regardless of WM or DE as long as X is aware of the fontdir path (/usr/share/fonts/local)
Yeah, just checked it out in Fluxbox - same problem.
Also, I'm going to assume that you have not disabled bitmap fonts in fontconfig as explained here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … tmap_fonts
This would cause the Terminus font to be disabled in any fontconfig-aware applications including gnome-terminal.
# cd /etc/fonts/conf.d
# rm 70-yes-bitmaps.conf
# ln -s ../conf.avail/70-no-bitmaps.conf
Did it now. Still no Terminus in gnome-terminal...

- Slow video output
- Try a different -vo driver (-vo help for a list) or try -framedrop!

Perhaps. Also, in that error message, do as it says and play around with combinations of those.

[PARTIALLY SOLVED] Wine 3D apps make the system randomly freezes

Hi!
Since some months, i can't play longer that one hour on games through wine: xorg locks up the system randomly: i can't switch to a console or close the game with Alt+F4. I can only move the mouse, and the sound is always running. Moreover, I can always connect to the pc through SSH.
I think it's due to fglrx driver, because with the OSS one, I never freeze so (but I get crap performances, what is not the best to play...).
Did someone got the same issue and solved it?
Thanks,
nob.
Last edited by nob.dir (2012-10-30 21:38:33)

Write bug report to amd, and pray.
Edit: To not leave the post so cynical.
AMD's fglrx driver is not that high quality. From personal exprience, it has always caused more problems than good.
So your only choice is really to a) Write detailed bug to amd, and hope they fix it. b) Use the open source drivers. c) Change GPU

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

[kinda solved] All the system is down and I need my files badly!

I'm using gnome and sometimes when the screen goes blank and you need to retype your password to restore it... well, sometimes it was blank for a while (about 5 seconds) so I was just wandering with my cursor for a while as it was like 30 seconds now... my cursor changed into this "you can type here" mode so I just typed my login, clicked enter and then the password and enter again... then it all went into "no move" state so I changed my display with ctrl+alt+F2 and rebooted the system. It didn't open gdm at all, I had just a terminal (now typing from my laptop). So I typed "gdm" but it went like this:
** (gdm-binary:1242: WARNING **: Failed to aquire org.gnome.DisplayManager: Connection ":1.13" is not allowed to own the service "org.gnome.DisplayManager" due to security policies in the configuration file
** (gdm-binary:1242: WARNING **: could not acquire name; bailing out
With sudo it was almost the same but shorter:
** (gdm-binary:1242: WARNING **: Failed to aquire org.gnome.DisplayManager
** (gdm-binary:1242: WARNING **: could not acquire name; bailing out
With "gnome-session" even shorter:
** (gnome-session:1256): WARNING **": Cannot open display:
So I thought I sould just reinstall all the gnome but I used -Syyu before that. Effect:
error: failed retrieving file core.db from mirrors.kernel.org : No address record
It failed to synchronize any database!
So if pacman and gnome are down in the same time... what could happen? All the configuration and home files are present on the disk (I guess).
At boot, it goes:
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.38-ARCH/modules.dep: No such file or directory
And I guess the important part of the story is that I'm ussing barriers=0 with ext4...

Well, I did the 1st and it was impossible to do so I did the 2nd and it was still bad (other errors thought) so I did the 1st again and it worked but the system was still not booting (yet other errors thought) so I did the 3rd and it still was bad... so I turned to this proposal:
ewaller wrote:You could also try booting the system any way you can (livecd, usb), mount your root partition somewhere, mount your boot partition somewhere else (not at /boot on the root partition), and copy the files from your root partition's /boot to the boot partition.

You are being dropped to a recovery shell

Edit: 'exit' didn't solve the situation of course.

What OS?

Error message when starting: McShield.dll: the system cannot find the file specified - what do I do to solve this?

When I start Firefox, the following message appears before the home page opens:
"COMMONSHELL: McShield.dll
The specified resource language ID cannot be found in the image file.
McShield.dll: The system cannot find the file specified."
I click OK, Firefox opens normally and everything seems to operate as expected, no further problems.

hello, the error message is obviously coming from one of the installed mcafee extensions. please directly contact mcafee technical support - they can likely give you more detailed guidance and are the only ones who can fix bugs or make necessary adjustments in the addon.

[SOLVED] vi (vim) no longer works properly after updating the system

After updating the system with pacman -Syu vi stopped working. All syntax colors are gone, and everything is grey. When I press i to enter "insert" mode, editing is not visible. Changes are obscure and you can't tell what you are modifying. Quitting with :q will still prompt you to use :q! to abort changes, even if no changes were visibly made.
When scrolling to the beginning or end of a file, the screen flashes with grey glitch like areas. What happened to my vi!?!?!?!?!?
This all happened while following the beginner's guide to install arch linux. I realized this when trying to arbitrarily read a test file I made directly after updating.
The problems continued to be visible when installing and setting up sudo (those steps are the next steps that require vi)... I think the sudo installation worked... but my vi is horribly glitchy
Any ideas?

Setting EDITOR does not help in every case. For instance, visudo is by default hard linked to vi. (You can change this, I know. )
But in fact, vi is only a symlink to ex. So I simply renamed this link and put another symlink to vim (vim-big in my case since I in fact do use the gvim package).
/usr/bin/vi -> vim-big
/usr/bin/vi-simple -> ex
The drawback is that I have to set those links on every vi-update. (But I sure will remember...)

[SOLVED] Configure The System (Beginners Guide) Question

Hello!
I'm currently working my way through the beginners guide, from the wiki. All going ok so far and I've reached the Configure The System section. Which is where I'm a bit stuck.
Beginners Guide wrote:You will be presented with a menu including the most important configuration files for your system. If you want to look up the available options as stated in /etc/rc.conf just press Alt+F2 to get a shell, look it up, and switch back to the installer with Alt+F1.
The problem I have is looking up the available options. For example, to find my locale it states I should run locale -a, however when I hit Alt+f2 and enter the command at the bash shell ([Arch Linux: /]# ) I get the following error
-bash: locale: command not found
When I attempt to lookup other items I'm also unable to find those (such as timezone in /usr/share/zoneinfo).
Can anyone let me know what I'm doing wrong, I'm missing something very obvious here, but sadly I just can't work it out!

I wouldn't skip all of the steps, particularly adding your hostname to /etc/hosts. Just fill in as much as you can, and edit the rest after you've finished installing, though I think the defaults are safe enough to have a running system.
If you typed in 'km' and chose your locale before you ran the /arch/setup command to start the installation, it should automatically enter in the locale you selected earlier (if you press yes in the dialog box that pops up).
Confirm this as that's what happended in this location on 2 recent install.

[Solved] I've been really clever (Locked myself out of the system)

Hi, I've done something extremely clever: I wanted to try out suspend to disk on my MacBook. I generated an new initramfs with an uresume hook. The whole resuming thing didn't work though.
Upon rebooting I get a prompt telling me that the system can't resume (fair enough) and I can skip it by pressing enter. However, my MacBook's keyboard doesn't work at boot-time (well, at least not at this prompt).
How do I get past this error message? Can I restore an initramfs with something like Knoppix?
Last edited by lenni (2007-12-27 11:14:34)

If you use grub, use the fallback initramfs. kernel26-fallback.img
I'm guessing here, but you could try adding the usbinput hook to make the keyboard work earlier.
