[SOLVED] Problems trying to reinstall arch-kdemod

Hello to everyone. This is my problem. I´m trying to do a new and clean installation for my arch-kdemod system-. Everything is fine until i begin with kdemod. Since I have done other times, I write pacman -S kdemod-minimal, but pacman says that to install it needs the libxxf86misc dependece. I´ve read this dependence doesn´t exist, so how can I install kdemod? I´ve been looking for a solution in xorg, kdemod and other pages (and all google) with no results. Can you help me? I can´t find a solution by myself.
Thanks

hi all. I query the package in the following page.
http://chakra-project.org/packages/inde … bxxf86misc
The package was moved to different directory: platform
thus, i got the package by adding the following 3 lines into /etc/pacman.conf
[platform]
Server=http://chakra-project.org/repo/platform/i686
by the way, there are two directories in http://chakra-project.org/repo: desktop, apps
I also added these two directories.
[desktop]
Server=http://chakra-project.org/repo/desktop/i686
[apps]
Server=http://chakra-project.org/repo/apps/i686

Hello,
I suggest you narrow it down and post what you have tried so far in order to solve it. This is so that it will be more specific to your problem, and much easier for readers to help you, otherwise they will just have the same information you allready do - yielded from searching on the error output.
"libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so" - example: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=181743

Problem trying to reinstall Audigy 2 driver.Error mess

?I have an Audigy installed on my Gateway and it was playing fine. Then the sound disappeared from one application but still played music and web casts. I thought I could try reinstalling the driver from the Drivers disc. I also tried downloading from this site. all have the same problem. It seems to be downloading OK but at the last second I get this error message. The error mesasage appears just as the installer finishes, it reads,?'You have previously installed drivers without rebooting. Please reboot and try again'. Now, this is after I just rebooted of course. I shut down my Norton anti virus and Zone Alarm pro. It seems something is interfering so I shut down as many programs as I could find running. I tried completely uninstalling and trying again.Any thoughts?Message Edited by clayman00 on 03-07-2006:7 AM

it rebooted to the GNU GRUB VERSION 2.0 like it should, but now I'm getting the emergency mode prompt.
If I understand you correctly, you deleted your /boot partition. That was probably a bad move. Now you may have grub's configuration in /boot, but you don't have a kernel image. Without the linux kernel also present in /boot, grub has nothing to do, hence the emergency prompt.
Reinstall the linux package, then re-install grub. Frankly, since you're going to the trouble anyways, you should just recreate your separate partition for your boot loader.
So, from the livecd:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt # (Check with fdisk -l)
rm -rf /mnt/boot/* # (You want /boot to be a mount point for a partition, so it should not contain any files)
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot # (this should be the boot partition)
pacstrap /mnt base # (This wil reinstall the kernel, as well as make sure the rest of the system is working and up to date)
arch-chroot /mnt pacman -S grub-bios # (Reinstall GRUB)
Then the rest is exactly as you already said:
grub-install /dev/sda
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Better safe than sorry, just re-do the install process to make sure you have a working boot partition, and that the bootloader has a kernel to load. I'm assuming the rest of your system is already nice and configured properly, so after this goes off without a hitch, you can just reboot.
EDIT: Don't assume that the numbers on your disk match the ones in the example. Use fdisk, make sure you mount the right partitions to the right places.

Please help with driver problem trying to reinstall windows 7

Hi, product is HP 655 Notebook pc operating system windows 7 however due to my daughters negligence (dont know exactly what, do know she very rarely if ever shut it down properly) the computer would go on but but only to black screen stating after general info at top (PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable) next line (PXE-MOF: Exiting PXE ROM), on last line (No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key). dint have the boot disc only the product key so downloaded windows 7 home premium, put it on disc to start again. While trying to install Win 7, I get past a couple of screens in (collecting information) then I get stuck at a "Select the driver to be installed." screen. there is nothing in the box to choose just a statement "No signed device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK.". Im certainly no expert but can and have followed instruction just dont know if i'm missing something, any help in this matter would be very much appreciated and thank you in advance!

[Self Solved] Problems trying to get the install.exe to run

After trying for 3 days to get the install.exe to run on my new computer I eventually ran out of options. You could see, however, that in the task manager, once you clicked on the .exe that it would run for a bit, max out at ~8k and then disappear. The two things I could think of were that A. It might have been a registry error that is preventing me from running the .exe and B. that it might be a service that is blocking it. I did not want to go through the stress of re-installing windows just so I could get the install.exe to run over a hunch that my registry might be foul. Instead I performed a clean boot that would prevent a service from stopping the installation. Upon restarting I was able to run the install.exe and I finally have adobe reader running. For anyone who is not familiar with a clean boot it can be done as follows:
Pressing [Win] + r OR Start > search
and then typing "msconfig.exe" + enter will open up the system configuration screen.
then click on the "Services" tab, followed by clicking the box "Hide all Microsoft services" so that it has a checkmark inside it, followed by clicking the button "Disable All"
Your computer will then be prompted to restart
Upon launching your windows interface go to your downloads folder and then try to run the install.exe, if it works, as did mine, it would appear that a certain service was blocking it.
Hope this helps the .02% of people who actually have this problem when installing

Alternate solution: use the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

Problems trying to reinstall CS5 Design Premium

So earlier in the year i got CS5 Design Premium and installed it onto my new comp i got. I then created a backup image recovery of my system with adobe installed, so if for whatever reason i have to wipe my comp and install everything from scratch again i would have almost like a save point with a few basic programs, basically windows 7 64bit, office, and CS5. now i had to use this due to some nasty malware which my computer got infected with which screwed my registry, and since then even though cs5 was all installed and had all the programs they didn't work. i click on them and nothing happens. so i ran the adobe cleaner to uninstall everything and try resintalling from my disc i have, and the disc starts and get the Initalizing Installer loading bar, but once the it reaches the end it just closes and nothing else pops up. i don't get any error messages just i get nothing else. i have tried multiple times and got the same result, even after restarting my comp.

Has anyone had a problem trying to reinstall an application from Creative Cloud?

On my first attempt at downloading Photoshop I was unsuccesful, so I deleted the incomplete download expecting to be able to download it again. When I tried, Adobe Applications Manager tells me I am up to date with Photoshop. I have emptied the trash and restarted the machine. This has not helped. Any hepl greatly appreciated!

Uninstall Application Manager, download new version here:
Macintosh: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4774
Windows: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773
After that go to creative.adobe.com, be sure you download the language version you bought, you can check that in your application manager after login in your preferences.
Hope it helps.

[SOLVED] Windows 8.1, lost Arch boot loader, cannot reinstall or boot

Hi all,
Apologies but I am only posting as I have exhausted my (admittedly quite limited) knowledge and have spent hours trying to get it back up and running but nothing seems to work at all. This will probably be quite long, apologies if there is something really obvious that I have missed on the Wiki or anywhere, but I'm only posting as I can't seem to get anywhere with it at all despite reading and trying.
Essentially I had a Toshiba Satellite p850-321 laptop (UEFI, secure boot off, fast boot off) which I had dual booting with Windows 8 and Arch using rEFInd. I then had several moments of madness, starting when for some reason - on very little sleep so didn't think - decided to upgrade Windows 8 to 8.1. Unsurprisingly (but a surprise for me at the time), it then booted straight into Windows 8.1, no rEFInd. In hindsight, it had probably just set itself as boot priority but I thought it had overwritten rEFInd with its own bootloader or set it back to default or something so started on a way to try and get it back.
I then spent many hours trying to get my old bootable Arch USB stick to work with no joy, updating it to the latest arch iso and all sorts. It eventually worked when I updated the laptop BIOS. Booted from the USB, chrooted into arch, reinstalled rEFInd, played around, eventually got it to reboot and display rEFInd but Arch wouldn't start. At this point I noticed that my fstab looked strange (devices/labels mixed up from what I expected), so followed the Beginner's Guide again and recreated the fstab. My disk is partitioned as follows (main partitions of note):
/dev/sda2 - Windows EFI partition
/dev/sda4 Windows 8.1
/dev/sda6 arch swap partition (archswap)
/dev/sda7 arch root partition (archroot)
/dev/sda8 arch home partition (archhome)
Couldn't get rEFInd to work so decided to start again with gummiboot. Installed gummiboot, followed Beginner's Guide to install and configure it. Edited arch.conf and after having to mess about with the location of vmlinuz-arch.efi in the conf file, I have the options part looking like this:
options root=/dev/sda7 rw
Now gummiboot loads on startup but all I get on trying to load Arch from gummiboot is the dreaded:
ERROR: device '' not found. Skipping fsck
ERROR: Unable to find root device ''.
I've tried changing the root in options in arch.conf to UUID, PARTUUID and even different partitions (just to see what happened...) - the same. Is it likely to be due to me recreating the fstab and something is messed up there?
Another problem is that now, whatever I do, I cannot boot from the USB again to get in to even try to fix anything. The laptop on boot just hangs for a while and then loads the gummiboot from the disk drive rather than from the USB (I've set the boot priority, everything) and nothing will allow me to boot from the USB. That is probably a secondary issue, I can probably try to reinstall the BIOS again and see if that helps.
If anyone has had anything similar and has any solutions I'd be really grateful - anything. I don't mind being shown to be incredibly stupid, I get that a lot so have a lot of experience! - just anything that can get me back into Arch again without having to reinstall from scratch!
Thanks.

Thanks for replying, very much appreciated. The partitions were numbered sequentially, I only posted up the partitions that I thought were of interest to the issue (which wasn't very helpful!). The partitions are as follows:
Partition No Type
1 Win Recover
2 EFI System (EFI partition)
3 Microsoft Reserved
4 Microsoft Basic (Windows 8.1 installation)
5 Windows Recover
6 Linux Swap
7 Microsoft Basic (Arch root partition)
8 Microsoft Basic (Arch home partition)
9 Windows Recover
It looks like I have managed to solve it, but I admit I'm not sure what of the several changes I made that solved it. I managed to boot into the USB arch disk by resetting my BIOS back to defaults and then changing the boot order back, which was the only way it would boot the USB - without resetting back and putting the boot order back exactly how it was before it wouldn't boot from the USB. Anyway...
Checked the partitions with gdisk, no problems. I did sort the partitions as you mentioned, just in case. Changed the partition names using gdisk to the same names I had before (archroot, archhome, archswap). Changed the types from Microsoft Basic to Linux filesystem (partitions 7 and 8) and wrote the partition.
Mounted everything, chrooted, edited the gummiboot arch.conf file and noticed there were some strange characters in it, a forward slash before /root in the options for example. I had edited the arch.conf file from windows by booting into Windows, mounting the EFI partition (mountvol z: /s) and editing it that way, which would have messed up the formatting. It can't have only been that though as it wasn't booting anyway which is why I went into Windows to edit the file in the first place. Corrected the arch.conf file, rebooted and it booted. Some errors on boot which I need to correct but I can work on those as it boots into my arch installation.
So all solved. I thought I'd update just to say thanks for the advice and in case it helps anyone else in the future.

[solved] dhcpcd: timed out after reinstalling arch

Hi erveryone!
After reinstalling arch I can't connect to my wireless network anymore.
Typed:
wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant_vienna.conf
dhcpcd wlan0
Got:
dhcpcd: wlan0: waiting for carrier
dhcpcd: timed out
wpa_supplicant_vienna.conf (ssid and psk deleted):
network={
ssid=""
proto=RSN
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk=
I reinstalled arch on my netbook at the same time and there's everything working fine (even with the same wireless-card). The only difference between the two systems is that my laptop has an i686 installation while on my netbook I've installed x86_64.
Things I've tried:
+ Update the system via wired-connection (mirrors.kernel.org) --> the download never gets faster than 10KB/s (?).
+ Configure the wireless interface via netcfg --> same problem
+ Reinstalled again and only changed LOCALE in /etc/rc.conf --> same problem
So you may see, I have no idea what I could be doing wrong and hope that theres anybody out there who knows what to do!
P.S. Well, i have now by-passed my problem.
1.) Created a list of packages installed during system-update on my netbook.
2.) In this list I changed package-name-x86_64.tar.gz to package-name-i686.tar.gz
3.) Downloaded the list with wget.
4.) Ccopied the packages to my laptop
5.) Created a local repository and made a system-update.

Hi trusktr
This might seem stupid but are you sure you are using "eth0" and not "eth1" etc.? As an example I have two on-board lans and I'm plugged into eth1. I had to change rc.conf as it defaults to using eth0.
#Static IP example
#eth0="eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
eth1="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth1)
Since I am using eth1 and not eth0 here is what I get when I try:
ifconfig eth0:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:4B:00:88:0E
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Interrupt:23 Base address:0x6000
Look familiar?
I'm not saying this is the case but it could be something as simple as that.
ifconfig -a
should show you how many lans you have.
Thought I would drop the obvious first in case that's all it is.

[SOLVED] System hangs on boot, reinstalling Arch doesn't help

After a recent upgrade (including the kernel), my system hangs on boot. I have an Asus K40IN laptop, about 2 years old. I've been running Arch for the life of the computer and never had any (serious) problems.
I booted into a live Arch environment, tried rebuilding the mkinitcpio image, didn't work. Tried downgrading the kernel, didn't work.
I then assumed it was just some software issue that I couldn't figure out, so I reinstalled Arch. No change.
Here's what my screen looks like when it hangs:
Any ideas would be very much appreciated. I'm completely stumped here.

jnguyen:
I have another arch system, a desktop, that I tend to keep pretty much in sync with my laptop. So I can look in the logs on that system to see what was upgraded. The other notable packages in that upgrade were probably udev, initscripts, and mkinitcpio. I will try downgrading those.
Leonid.I:
I'm using the 2010.05 arch release, which has kernel 2.6.33. I see two cores in the live env, as I should, and there's nothing to suggest any problems in the logs.
I'm actually now getting a completely different hang screen:
Of course I don't know what this one means either...
