[SOLVED] Reinstalling Arch on pure systemd - Localization problem.

Hi
I have accident regarding today filesystem update, so I decide to install arch again on pure systemd from the begining.
I am now on freshly installed xfce and i just noticed my userspace is totally not localized, despite proper localization steps.

I know nothing about xfce, but can you tell me what part of the console stuff is in English? Can you copy / paste an example?
$HOME config don't work either.
From grub to login and from using CLI apps like nano and wifi-menu,mc,no polish language there.
Everything is in english...
Like system sudenly goes blind and don't see what i put in to configs.
Everything worked well on my old pretty instalation i already miss that times.
EDIT:
Sudenly it worked again.
Dunno what happened,just working again...
Ok,so thx for tips guys,have a good evening...
see my previous post.
please mark the thread as solved.

SOLVED - Reinstall Arch on new thumb drive

Hello all, I'm a noob to Linux, but not afraid of command lines (old school dos guy). I bought a pogoplug on a whim and installed using these instructions: http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5 … 2-pinkgray but I would like to reinstall arch on a new faster thumb drive and start over. My question is how to go about this (I did google it too). I would like to avoid bricking the pogo. This is my thinking:
sda is the current slow, small, old thumbdrive, i plug in my new drive it would be sdb right?
My pass at the reinstall:
Start fdisk on the USB drive:
/sbin/fdisk /dev/sdb
At the fdisk prompt, delete old partitions and create a new one:
Type o. This will clear out any partitions on the drive.
Type p to list partitions. There should be no partitions left.
Now type n, then p for primary, 1 for the first partition on the drive, and then press ENTER, accepting default values.
Exit by typing w.
Now create the ext2 filesystem:
wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/pogoplug/mke2fs
chmod 755 mke2fs
./mke2fs /dev/sdb1
mkdir usb
mount /dev/sdb1 usb
Download and install Arch Linux ARM:
cd usb
wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM … est.tar.gz
tar -xzvf ArchLinuxARM-armv5te-*.tar.gz # This will take a long time
rm ArchLinuxARM-armv5te-*.tar.gz
sync # Takes a while when using a flash drive
Clean up, reboot, remove old thumb drive. Cross your fingers and hope for the best.
cd ..
umount usb
/sbin/reboot
Once powered down, pull old thumb drive
The SSH key of your device will be different, so you need to tell Mac OS X or Linux to remove it from ~/.ssh/known_hosts before using SSH again:
ssh-keygen -R 192.168.1.123 # Use your device's IP
Log back in after your Pogoplug reboots using username root and password root.
*whew* so am I missing a step? Will the bootloader balk at the new drive?
Thanks in advance

Not sure. But I think they are images and system tar in your link.
For images I would use dd (as say Ŝaran and later resize). You write all the system in the thumb drive and get a bootloader.
The second (systema tar), you get all files but you don't get bootloader.
You can do, too, what Ŝaran say. Do an image of your current system with dd. It's like clonning. Later resize your filesystem.
dd if=old_thumb_drive of=new_thumb_drive bs=4M
(from a third system)
Beware with dd and /dev/ (same people say that it stands for data destroyer)
*bs=4M is, generally, the block size of thumbdrives. So it takes less time to write.

[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'

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.

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...

[SOLVED] Guest Arch in Virtual Box Internet Problems

I have installed Arch a few times already in virtual machines on Virtual Box and each time it is unable to configure the internet connection properly. Having gone through the beginner wiki-pages on starting with Arch, I have tried "ping -c 3 www.google.com" and get "ping: unknown host www.google.com". However, IP addresses usually work with 0% packet loss.
I then followed the "hwdetect" instruction and that yielded "-bash: hwdetect: command not found". The command "modprobe pcnet32" does not yield an error and returns nothing.
I have also tried other methods

Hi,
Pretty much the same here
That is strange but adding "nameserver 192.168.0.1" to /etc/resolv.conf enables me to access the internet. 192.168.0.1 is of course the IP of the host computer's vitual card but what is strange is: I need to use dhcpcd from guest to be given an IP that isn't even in the same range as 192.168.0.1 (for instance 10.0.2.15)!!
So to basically, host PC has that virtual ethernet card with static IP 192.168.0.1 and internet connection shared (don't know if this is compulsory though) and guest uses dhcp, is given 10.0.2.15 (don't ask me where it gets it from because I disabled it on VirtualBox). Then I just have to add "nameserver 192.168.0.1" to resolv.conf and I'm good... till dhcpcd rewrites the resolv.conf. How could we set dhcp to use a particular DNS?
As you can see, I am not a DNS expert. Using static IPs for both would be great but it doesn't work
Does it help?
The 10.x.x.x.x address range is assigned because you are most probably using NAT networking on the Virtual Box configuration.
Try with 'Bridged'.
If all goes well you shouldn't need to fiddle with /etc/resolv.conf.
Still, if you still need to change /etc/resolv.conf, put your changes in a file called /etc/resolv.conf.head which will survive
the changes that sometimes DHCP does on /etc/resolv.conf.

[SOLVED] First Arch Install - but with wireless problem

Hi all
I got my first Arch installation working this morning. It was only the third try at installing which I didn't think was too bad really. I made some dumb mistakes the first two times. Arch rocks once you take the plunge. I've initially set it up with KDE but am thinking of switching to OpenBox instead - I like the minimal sort of style.
I've got a bit of an issue with the wireless. My settings in /etc/network.d/talktalk are as follows:
CONNECTION='wireless'
DESCRIPTION='A simple WEP encrypted wireless connection'
INTERFACE='wlan0'
SECURITY='wep'
ESSID='TALKTALK-8AD68C'
KEY='s:######'
IP='dhcp'
# Uncomment this if your ssid is hidden
#HIDDEN=yes
It's a direct copy of the wep wireless example in /etc/network.d/examples.
The issue is that I issue from the command line: sudo netcfg talktalk
It responds initially with: [BUSY] but then responds: WPA Authentication/Association Failed [FAIL]
I know the wireless card works fine - I am dual booting with Ubuntu, and the ESSID and Key are correct. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks In Advance
Rich

[Solved] Installting A Pure systemd System From Scratch

Hello all,
A few months back I gave Arch a spin and it was great, but decided to wait for Windows 8 RTM to come out to check it out as well.
Windows 8 being the horrible thing it is, Arch is the way to go, and I would like to do a test installation alongside Windows 7, in order to make sure I can make the switch permanently.
Having followed the forums pretty consistently, it seems that systemd is the future.
Instead of waiting for it to be integrated (which is supposed to happen at some point), I was wondering if I can somehow install a pure systemd system as part of the basic installation and not installing initscripts at all.
Thanks, Adam.

Just makes for a cleaner install all around.
I'm certainly not going to leave this install on with 4 installed desktop environments.[...]
I myself was also reinstalling alot and imaging and whatnot when I first began with linux(arch), but after some time I realised that it was pointless and linux dosen't need those reinstalls for optimization like windows did, and pacman has nifty switches to get you sorted on what you've explicitly installed and hence, can go delete the cruft not used anymore, or to list files not owned by any installed packages, to clean up in etc...
Nowadays, I newer reinstall unless something would go _really_ wrong, and only backup config-files and home-files, and keep a livecd around for rescue-operations, and an automated personal install script for if I ever do need to reinstall...
Anyway, of course it's your own choise
I understand and the arch way is awesome.
but it is still on the new side to me.
I've bloated this install with 4 desktop environments so a reinstall is inevitable. lol
once I settle on which one to keep I'll do just that.
it will be some time though I'm sure.
I'm just keeping my eye out for an iso without the old initscripts pacstapped to begin with.
it just HAS to be a cleaner install.
Thanks for your input though.
CHEERS.
Oh yeah and by the way I've used nothing but linux for over 10 years now.
No windoze here.

[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.

Problem: murmur (mumble server) restarts on pure systemd system

Hi. I have a pure systemd install (no rc.conf).
I installed murmur form "community" and started it with
systemctl start murmur
The service starts but restarts every two minutes or so with these lines in journalctl:
PID file /run/murmur/murmur.pid not readable (yet?) after start.
murmur.service operation timed out. Terminating.
Unit murmur.service entered failed state.
murmur.service holdoff time over, scheduling restart.
Any clues?
Last edited by SoleSoul (2012-08-18 22:42:41)

I now use murmur-ice from the AUR, but my problem was resolved after manually creating /run/murmur/murmur.pid, setting permissions, and restarting the systemd service. Never had a problem after that. Not sure why this wasn't getting created automatically; my /var/run and /run symlinks are correct and no problems with other services.
Sorry I can't be of more help, but it seems to have something to do with a conflict between the service and the desired pid file.

[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...

[SOLVED] Booting Arch off USB HDD fails - can't mount real root device

I've installed Arch on the internal HDD (sda) of my laptop, and I attempted to install a second copy of Arch on partition sdb3 of an external USB HDD. sdb3 is a primary partition that I had prepared beforehand with gparted and outfitted with the reiserfs filesystem. I skipped section 3.2 (manually prepare hard drives) of the Arch installer. There was no problem with section 3.3 (manually configure filesystems and mountpoints); I put all of / in sdb3. Installing packages and configuring the system also went without a hitch.
I wanted to boot this new install of Arch via the boot menu of GRUB that was installed in the MBR of sda with my primary install of Arch. On the new install, I first did go through section 7 (install bootloader), thinking I would want to install GRUB in the root sector of partition sdb3 (not in the MBR of sdb where the GRUB of MintKDE resides, a boot menu that I want to keep) but that failed, so I then picked "no bootloader to be installed". With that I exited the new install, since it appeared to have gone to completion.
I then copied the appropriate stanza in the /boot/grub/menu.lst of this new Arch install to the /boot/grub/menu.lst of my primary Arch install on the internal HDD of my laptop.
This stanza reads as follows:
# (3) Arch Linux on WDPP60 blue (sdb3)
title Arch Linux on WDPP60 blue (sdb3)
root (hd1,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/191cc027-43ce-443b-8846-f265d60555ec ro
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
However, I'm not able to boot the new Arch install when I pick this entry from the GRUB menu list. The new install starts booting, finds sda but not sdb and stops with the following errors, dropping me to a recovery shell:
Root device /dev/disk/by-uuid... doesn't exist. Attempting to create it.
ERROR: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device '/dev/disk/by-uuid...'
mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid... on /new_root failed: No such file ...
ERROR: Failed to mount the real root device.
Running "mount -t reiserfs /dev/sdb3 /new_root" at the ramfs prompt also fails.
I've tried a number of edits of the menu.lst stanza from the grub> command prompt, such as adding rootfstype=reiserfs, replacing root=/dev/disk/by-uuid..etc. with root=/dev/sdb3 (booting then fails with "/dev/sdb3 No such file"), using "initrd /boot/kernel26-fallback.img" etc., but booting always fails at the same stage with equivalent error messages.
I have no trouble booting half a dozen other Linux/BSD distros that reside on two different external USB HDD's by the same method, i.e. choosing an entry from the GRUB boot menu of my primary Arch install, after I placed the appropriate stanza in its /boot/grub/menu.lst.
How can I get this new Arch install to boot?
Last edited by RobF (2010-05-17 23:03:27)

Yes, this was in fact the solution. I stumbled upon it in this thread:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=65844
When one wants to boot from a USB mass storage device, the initrd needs to include the modules for accessing USB devices, and in Arch this is accomplished by adding "usb" to the HOOKS array. I simply reinstalled Arch to the USB HDD and in the system configuration step now edited /etc/mkinitcpio.conf by adding the "usb" item. Adding "rootdelay=10" and/or "rootfstype=reiserfs" to the kernel line in the appropriate stanza in Arch's /boot/grub/menu.lst wasn't necessary in this case. I left the stanza exactly as I posted it above.
Thanks for your input.

Reinstalling arch

I screwed up arch and am reinstalling, I backed up my home folder, but is there anything else I need/shoiuld back up to make the next install easier? I have alreayd written down my programs and themes and such, but should I save my pacman and x.org configs or anything?
Also, I am backing up to a hard drive I added, it's 1 ext3 partition on a 20gig drive. How do I keep this intact while I reinstall arch on my master drive? I can't afford for any problems with the data on it, as it is very needed. Unfortunatley that's as much as I can back it up, due to it being 5 gigs and not having a cd or dvd burner or a portable hard drive. I definately intend to go get one after this though :!:

I always back up /etc -- it makes things a lot easier.

Assuming you've used rsync or something similar, you theoretically should be cool. I'd unplug the drive to make sure that nothing gets overwritten though - better safe than sorry. I'm not going to go all zealot on you, since I hate people who get holier than thou about backups (and I've seen an amazing amount of this sort of zealotry) but that's really not an acceptable backup system for important data. DVDs do a fairly good job for most desktops machines since a lot of what you have on there will be static, more or less, in any event. You may add to your music collection over time, but there's not a lot of sense in including 20 GB of mp3s that you've already backed up to DVD in a grandfather, father, son routine.

TS5376 iTunes wont install. It says " The program can't start because MediaAccessibility.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." I have uninstalled iTunes 5 times and reinstalled it, and nothing has worked.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

HT201210 After downloading latest version of iTunes it will not open. This error message is displayed; The program can't star because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. Then a second error box

After iTunes requested that I download latest version on PC it now will not open. 2 error messages appear. first: The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. second: iTunes was not installed correctly please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126). I have tried reinstalling a number of times and restarting computer but no luck.

This happened to me today as well post installing the latest version of itunes. I did a search on google for the error and came across a recommendation to :
Note: Start Windows in Safe Mode to complete any of the following steps if you're unable to access Windows normally due to the msvcr80.dll error.
If, and only if, you're receiving the msvcr80.dll is missing error when you open Apple iTunes, do the following: (skip this step if your msvcr80.dll error is occurring with a different program)
Uninstall from Windows the following five programs in this order: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, and finally Apple Application Support. If you have iCloud, remove it as well.
Uninstalling these programs in Windows is done from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
Note: Songs and playlists in iTunes will not be removed when you uninstall the iTunes program or any of the other, already-mentioned Apple programs. If you'd still like to back them up, they're usually located in the My Music folder in Windows.
Download the latest version of iTunes from Appleand note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
Run the iTunes installation as an administrator. If you're not sure how to do that, see How Do I Open an Elevated Command Prompt? for help. That procedure shows you how to open the Command Prompt program as an administrator, but the steps are essentially the same for anything, including the iTunes installation package you just downloaded.
A general overview of removing and reinstalling iTunes can also be found here on Apple's site but the above procedure seems to work better in this particular situation.
