[SOLVED] Nouveau Module not starting at boot. Starts with modprobe.

I am currently using 64 bit arch linux along with grub2 for the boot loader. When I boot into arch the nouveau does not look to start. If I run dmesg it has no mention of it. Once I am in the system I can run modprobe nouveau and it starts up fine.
my mkinitcpio.conf has the following for the modules configuration: MODULES="nouveau"
I have rebuilt the image with "mkinitcpio -p linux" and remade the grub configuration with "grub-mkconfig -o /dev/sda" . I also made sure nouveau was not in the modprobe blacklist because I did have the nvidia drivers installed before hand.
Any ideas on why nouveau doesn't start after Grub?

Thank you for pointing that out. I did follow that but I forgot I had also tried an older NVIDIA driver 304 to be exact. So instead of running the exact command they had I ran "pacman -Qs nvidia" which displayed the following.
local/libvdpau 0.7-1
Nvidia VDPAU library
local/nvidia-304xx 304.108-8
NVIDIA drivers for linux, 304xx legacy branch
local/xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9-1 (xorg-drivers xorg)
Open Source 2D acceleration driver for nVidia cards
So knowing the package name I removed it with the same command but with the proper NVIDIA version. "pacman -Rdds nvidia-304xx" . Every thing seems to be working now. Thank you again.

[SOLVED] "warning: could not find /bin/bash, starting /bin/sh instead"

Hello all.
I've just installed arch, despite very little knowledge of linux (i had ubuntu for a short while before this), but I like a challenge so i thought i'd throw myself in at the deep end.
The installation went reasonably smoothly, but now i've got it up and running (with a minimal KDE install) but when I open up the konsole, I get the message
"Warning: Could not find '/bin/bash/', starting '/bin/sh' instead. Please check your profile settings."
and subsequently I cannot "su jake" (jake being my username, obviously). It requests my password, but when i press return I get the response
su: /bin/bash/: Not a directory
which means i've obviously done something wrong, but I cant make head nor tail of the archwiki on Bash, and from googling, I cant find anyone with a similar issue. I can run from root, but it's not ideal.
Thanks for any response as to why this might be happening, and how to fix it.

[Solved] grub2: file not found but booting fine

I just ran grub-mkconfig to update my grub.cfg because I installed E4rat. But now I have a problem: Every entry in grub2 can be booted and E4rat really boosted my boot process so actually everything is fine. But while grub2 is loading it says something like:
Grub 2 is loading...
Welcome to Grub 2!
error: file not found.
error: file not found.
error: file not found.
Now grub shows up and everything is as it should be. When I select Arch it again says "error: file not found." three times and continues with a normal boot process. So basically it's nothing that would brake my system but something seems not right and that's just a huge annoyance.
Here's my grub.cfg just in case:

I have the same error message as in the first post. "error: file not found" listed three times when I first choose Arch from the Grub2 menu. The solution linked to by the.ridikulus.rat would not seem to apply as I do not have the locales en* in /boot/grub/locale BTW, I am in the US. The system does boot though.
I just fixed this a few seconds ago and was going to post how, basically I just did "cp /boot/grub/locale/[email protected] /boot/grub/locale/en_US.mo" which seem to do the trick, the reason I didn't fix this sooner is the error only stays up for a very small fraction of a second making it hard to read.
# ls /boot/grub/locale
ast.mo da.mo fi.mo hu.mo it.mo nl.mo ru.mo uk.mo zh_CN.mo
ca.mo de.mo fr.mo id.mo ko.mo pl.mo sv.mo vi.mo
EDIT: I get the same three "error: file not found" messages when I boot Fedora (a multiboot system). This is with grub2 installed from Arch Linux.

[SOLVED] Virtualbox module "vboxdrv" - loading at boot

I can manualy boot the "vboxdrv" module using
sudo modprobe vboxdrv
and this works every time - I can use Virtual box withouth problems. I would really like to load this module at boot time using the "/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg" file and then recompile the image using mkinitcpio -p. I edited the file like this, but the module doesn't get loaded.
LABEL arch
MENU LABEL Linux (Arch)
LINUX ../vmlinuz-linux
APPEND root=/dev/sda3 rw init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd vboxdrv
INITRD ../initramfs-linux.img
I have seen that people useing "modeprobe.****=*****" command or something similar in this file to load modules. How should I use this to load vboxdrv module?

I don't see the problem in adding vboxdrv to the initramfs, when he clearly wants to have it loaded anytime he boots.
For the graphics drivers it's supposed in the wiki, too.
So I don't see a problem in adding the driver for virtualbox. but that's just me, i see.
When i follow your argumentation, there is no reason to add graphics drivers in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf because the drivers are not needed to mount the initial filesystem.
It's not only about mounting the real root it's about ensuring a succesfull bootup of the whole system and having graphics modules loaded early helps to do that. On my laptop for example there is a race condition with X11, which wants to start before udev figured out the appropriate graphics driver module to load. So it would boot into terminal and the display manager service would report "failed" as status otherwise.

[SOLVED] External HDD not mounting at boot

So, I've got this USB external HDD which won't mount at boot time. I set it in /etc/fstab using its UUID and it works immediately after boot if I do
sudo mount -a
I had it before on a different machine, running Arch too, and never had this problem. How can I see what's going on at boot time? I usualy just start the computer remotely (wake on lan).
Last edited by RaisedFist (2010-10-21 11:22:46)

Couldn't it be caused by the external HDD not being ready yet when the system boot? Nowadays I rarely encounter these issues, but some years ago even certain internally connected drive would need a delay to get ready for boot. If so settings in BIOS has to be adjusted.
Just a quick guess.

[solved] AMD Ucode not loading on boot

Its being called twice during the early hooks stage of udev.
i have already googled and found I needed to have installed the AMD Ucode package. I have version 2012.1.17-3 but it is being ignored.
Im getting the error
[unix time stamp i assume] microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin
twice after a long pause.
How do I fix it?
Last edited by Rhiadratech (2012-09-10 14:10:51)

I have put microcode in there as per instructions, but the word microcode was not in mkinitcpio.conf when I installed the system and started seeing the message. I think I added it on instructions in one of the 2 threads or an arch wiki page on the subject. I'll remove it.
The thing is I HAVE the amd-ucode package installed, and i'm STILL getting the message and associated delay on boot. So I'm looking for how I inform it I have installed it?

Does any one know how to fix this? AFter a while it became annoying.

More importantly, the modules are built for a specific kernel version. So if the kernel gets updated and the virtualbox modules get overlooked somehow, then they are not going to work. You can always rebuild them with makepkg and ABS though.

[SOLVED] LVM volume not found while booting

I have an error while trying to boot with both Syslinux and GRUB (GRUB was my 1st choice but I got this error so switched to Syslinux). It's BIOS system, my boot is on /dev/sda1 and root is inside LVM on /dev/sda2. It states that device /dev/mapper/TheVG-RootLV can not be found so the problem is with LVM. There is lvm2 hook in mkinitcpio.conf, dolvm in my kernel line... what could I do wrong? I had no problem with this exact setup on my UEFI system and GRUB. Boot partition is loaded even if it's also inside LVM (that was the case when I was trying to run it via GRUB). GPT partition table.
Last edited by smsware (2013-05-25 16:55:48)

This has been an ongoing issue with the Arch Linux LVM2 setup since it was changed to using lvmetad. You did nothing wrong. My home server still sits on an LVM, so what I did was downgraded lvm2 and device-mapper on that machine and have been ignoring the updates until I can find a better solution... though I haven't been looking very hard.
Also, with mkinitcpio, there is no "dolvm" command line parameter. It runs the LVM2 stuff depending on whether or not you have the lvm hook in your mkinicpio.conf (or add it otherwise with the command line). So yu can safely remove that.
The reason that Grub is able to read the /boot partition, but then it can still fail to find the rootfs is because these are two separate things. Grub has its own system to give it LVM compatibility. So it uses its stuff to read that, gets the information it needs, then loads the kernel and initramfs. It then passes the system off, at which point, this process of detecting the LVM and finding the rootfs happens all over again, albiet with the kernel and native linux userspace tools.
My laptop was on LVM2 when this change occurred. It worked for a while, and then just totally borked... well not toally, but it was way inconsistent and super frusturating. So I changed to btrfs. There is a thread about luks and lvm2 not booting, but it is actually just about lvm2, as the luks part of it was just cioncidence. You may want to ahve a look there because there is a slight change you can make in your lvm.conf that might help. It helped in my case, but it only made it slightly less borked, which is why I eventually changed setups.
Edit: I remember the edit having something to do with a filter... or global filter... something about having it not scan floppies and cdroms and whatnot.

[solved] aesni_intel module not loaded since switch to kmod

Since installing kmod-4-1 as replacement for module-init-tools the AES-NI instruction optimized crypto modules (aesni_intel) don't get loaded automatically anymore.
CPU is a SandyBridge Core-i5 2500K; aes-x86_64 isn't loaded anymore either. The CPU definitely supports AES-NI.
Is this a problem or am I supposed to write those modules down by hand in rc.conf MODULES section?
Kind regards

Last edited by lynix (2012-02-01 20:57:25)

Nevermind. I found the bug -- I'll make sure this is fixed for kmod5.
tech note for those interested:
A module alias can resolve to many modules -- in this case, the alias 'aes' resolves to "aes_generic", "padlock_aes", "aesni_intel", and "aes_x86_64". modprobe, including the library equivalent, should insist on trying to insert all of these. kmod does, but it makes the mistake of quitting if one of them errors out. To wit:
with module-init-tools:

Hello,
I strongly suspect that you need to change 'ide' to 'pata' in your /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
#HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide scsi sata usb keymap filesystems"
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata usb keymap filesystems"
Then recreate with:
mkinitcpio -g /boot/kernel26.img

[solved] Eve Online not showing up EULA even with corefonts installed

Hi,
I tried to get it running like it is described on http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p … &iId=25823 . But even with corefonts installed by winetricks the EULA won't show up. Any ideas?
Edit: The EULA actually shows up when waiting over a minute.

Thanks, I had to change mscvr80 and mscvr90 to (builtin, native) also, but your msvcr100 tip lead me there. Works well for me now, thank you for sharing your experience.

[SOLVED] Boot Resolution with Intel Haswell GPU and KMS

Dear All,
This thread is a follow up of this one: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=189562. I created a new thread as I think the focus of the problem has shifted and the old title might be misleading and lead to helpful people ignoring the thread. I hope this is ok. Please correct me if I did not behave correctly.
I think most of the "flashes" I see come from X switching from native resolution (3200x1800) which is used when starting, to 1920x1080, which I set in the configuration file.
So my question is: how can I have the 1920x1080 resolution at boot (i.e. during early boot, using the KMS and including the i915 driver in mkinitcipo?):
I tried:
1) Creating the configuration file in xorg.conf.d and including it into the mkinicpio
2) Setting the GRUB_GFX_MODE
3) Using the EDID method (with built-in resolution 1920x1080) as described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ke … s_and_EDID
4) Using uvesafb as described in the WIKI: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/uvesafb
Nothing worked. X starts during boot always with the same native resolution, the switches to 1920x1080 when GDM starts. Can you please suggest a method to set the boot resolution? It is for sure technically possible as Ubuntu does it when installed on the same hardware.. I think I just haven't found a way...

Ok, answering my own question, it would appear that adding video=1920x1080 does the trick. However, I still see a lot of flashing (I think that people call it flickering)

Blackberry curve 8520 boots up with the white line but stops at about 75%

Hi Solidbass,
You need to consider updating/reinstalling your device OS again.

[Solved] vsftpd not starting on boot

Hi,
I have problems running vsftpd via systemd on boot.
What I did: Install vsftpd, configure it properly, enable and start vsftpd.service. It works fine, but it won't start on boot; I need to start it manually.
This is what systemctl status vsftpd sais:
$ systemctl status vsftpd.service
vsftpd.service - vsftpd daemon
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/vsftpd.service; enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2014-01-01 21:28:21 CET; 7s ago
Process: 866 ExecStart=/usr/bin/vsftpd (code=exited, status=2)
Main PID: 866 (code=exited, status=2)
CGroup: /system.slice/vsftpd.service
However, starting it manually works fine and vsftpd is running then. I already read another topic, where a user had exactly the same problem. Unfortunately, that solution (adding network.target to service file) does not work for me. (topic: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1251823)
This is what my vsftpd.service file looks like:
$ cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/vsftpd.service
[Unit]
Description=vsftpd daemon
Requires=network.target
After=network.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/vsftpd
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
KillMode=process
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
I recently added the Requires= field, it did not change anything. Further I tried adding NetworkManager.service and NetworkManager-wait-online.service, it did not change anything as well. Any idea how I might fix that?

After boot:
$ systemctl list-units
vsftpd.service loaded failed failed vsftpd daemon
$ systemctl list-unit-files
vsftpd-ssl.service disabled
[email protected] static
vsftpd.service enabled
[email protected] static
I am wondering that network.target is not shown when doing systct list-dependencies; vsftpd.service only depends on default.target and multi-user.target. Why is network.target not shown?

And one more strange thing: If I want to start vsftpd manually by hitting systemctl start, vsftpd.service does not appear via auto-completion.
