[SOLVED] sendmail installation

Hi,
i'm new in linux, and I see in many logs in the /var/log directory the error about the send mail
/USR/SBIN/CROND[5475]: (CRON) EXEC FAILED (/usr/sbin/sendmail): No such file or directory
what is exactly? that linux cannot send email when an error occur?
how can I get linux to send email to me when an error occur with the error details?
Is there any sendmail package?

Why are you pointing OP to ArchHurd? Did I miss something?
Whoops, my bad... Google "aur <pkgname>" usually gives me the right domain first
ssmtp is in the official Arch Linux repos

[SOLVED]GStreamer installation is missing a plugin

In gnome tracker, I get the following error,
"Call to gst_discoverer_discover_uri() failed: Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in."
This leads to none of my files being processed by gnome extract. That leads to none of the local files are displayed in gnome documents and that application is useless now.
Any idea which plugin might be missing? How do I go about checking it?
Edit: I reinstalled gstreamer plugins (including good, bad and ugly) and that seemed to solve the issue.

SOLVED Sendmail frozen configuration .TS extension

Hello!
I recovered my files with help of photorec from a crash.
When I check files with extension .ts by the file command, it shows them as Sendmail frozen configuration. I don't know what it is and how to use them, if it is really mail files then how to open them?
$ file Email_23_f217153422.ts
Email_23_f217153422.ts: Sendmail frozen configuration - version \330jK\354\223q\311nt\357\350\024x\267j\371\340[\265Qf\320\313c\232lL\202\237\361v\276\274[\034o\202\206:\263(\307o\200\257 \324i\253\201^I\241\231\004v\205CN\214\366\272\361
I did as in this guide Post recovery tasks on wiki and also got a lot of .txt that could be opened with the Thunderbird mail client. But I have no idea about files with ts extension.
Ok, I found a little about it now, one of them could be played by mplayer.

Which one is it supposed to be? I have both versions installed side-by-side in /usr/lib, the prefix was /usr. Also, I was thinking about openssl installing header files into /usr/include. Aren't they needed to compile this php extension? openssl098 basically installs just the library:
$ pacaur -Ql openssl098
openssl098 /usr/
openssl098 /usr/bin/
openssl098 /usr/bin/openssl098
openssl098 /usr/lib/
openssl098 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
openssl098 /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8
openssl098 /usr/share/
openssl098 /usr/share/licenses/
openssl098 /usr/share/licenses/openssl098
Maybe I should go with compiling openssl from sources after all...

[SOLVED] USB Installation Media Boot Problems

Hi all,
I'm having trouble creating a live USB stick that my new (to me) HP Elitebook
2730p laptop can boot successfully. Here is what I've tried so far:
1. dd with the latest stable Arch installation media
In other words:
# dd if=/path/to/archlinux*.iso of=/dev/sdb
Result: I can boot with the USB stick on my old Dell laptop (which is running
Arch) without issue, but can't with the new HP. The BIOS will freeze if the USB
stick is inserted, and will only unfreeze after I remove it.
2. dd with a recent Arch installation media snapshot
The snapshot is ``archlinux-2012.06.05_04-00-01-core-x86_64.iso''. I
install the image to the USB stick with the same dd method above,
and I get the same behavior: works fine on the old Dell, but freezes the BIOS of
the new HP.
3. dd with an old lubuntu iso
This time, I used an old lubuntu iso
(lubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso) with dd. This method
worked without a problem -- both my old Dell and my new HP would boot it without
complaint.
3. unetbootin with the latest stable Arch installation media
Creating the USB stick with unetbootin allows me to boot the stick with the new
HP, but the boot fails to the ramfs prompt after ``Waiting 30 seconds for device
/dev/disk/by-label/ ...'' (notice how there's nothing after ``by-label/'').
Adding ``vmalloc=448M'' to the end of the unetbootin boot entry makes no
difference.
4. Image Writer for Windows
The ``USB Installation Media'' wiki page suggests using ``Image Writer for
Windows'' to create a bootable USB stick. I tried this method using Windows 7
Professional, and the result was the same as attempts 1 and 2: the USB stick
freezes the HP's BIOS.
Other notes
I've checked the md5sums of all the isos I've tried
I've updated the BIOS on the HP laptop
I've used the same USB stick for each of the above situations
The new HP laptop does not have an optical drive, and I don't own an
external one
In attempts 1, 2, and 4, I noticed that cfdisk shows that the partition
that contains the installation files has both the ``Bootable'' and ``NC'' flags
set. The cfdisk man page says that the latter flag stands for ``Not Compatible
with DOS or OS/2''. I can actually remove this flag by using the ``Maximize''
option in cfdisk, which actually makes the USB stick bootable by the HP
computer's BIOS, but the boot eventually fails to the ``ramfs prompt
thingy'' after saying ``ERROR: '/dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201108' found, but the
filesystem type is unknown''
In attempt 3 (the lubuntu one), I noticed that cfdisk shows a bit of free
space in front of the partition that contains the lubuntu files. The ``NC'' flag
is not present when I run cdisk.
My current theory is this: I believe my new HP's BIOS is unhappy with the
``isohybrid-nature'' of the Arch installation media. Is there any way I can
confirm this, or obtain ``non-isohybrid'' Arch media?
As you might imagine, this has been pretty frustrating. Any help would be
greatly appreciated!
Daniel

Duh. That's for booting it from RAM (with MEMDISK) in case it doesn't map the entire file, which for some reason it didn't for the i686 iso on my computer. I probably should've specified it when I wrote the article. I'll add it tomorrow morning.
Speaking of which, have you tried it?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/US … O_from_RAM
Because you only seem to be using dd ("Image Writer" is the same) and Unetbootin (which had various problems since forever). The correct syntax for dd is:
$ sudo dd if=archlinux.iso of=/dev/sd[x]
Warning: Make sure to use /dev/sdx and NOT /dev/sdx1. This is a very common error!
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/US … _USB_drive
Haven't tried the ``Boot the entire ISO from RAM'' method yet. I'll give that a shot next.
The ``Boot the entire ISO from RAM'' method worked like a charm! Thanks,

Solved. Installer doesn't detect harddrives

Hello, so this is my first time trying to install arch linux outside of virtualbox and the installer doesn't seem to detect my hard drives.
I get to the point in installation where I'm supposed to partition my harddrives and nothing is there, so I selected other and by using "dmesg | grep sd" I managed to find out that the drive i wanted to contain my arch install was called sdb. I wrote /dev/sdb in the "other"-box and was able to partition my hard dive the way I want. However, when I get to the step where I'm supposed to set my filesystems mountpoints there is no detected hard drives and no "other" option, so I'm pretty much stuck there.
I have tried searching but I didn't find anything on this particular problem, only GRUB related issues. Is there anyone here that know how to solve this?
Sorry for my English, it's not my first language but hopefully i made some sense at least.
edit, I forgot to add that I have tried the legacy IDE booting method too, but it did not help.

I have no idea why the installer doesn't detect your hardrive, but you should be able to workaround by mounting the partitions manually.
- mount the root partition to /mnt
- create a directory in /mnt for each separate partition
- mount all the partitions
then go to the step after setting hard drives in the installer.
I'm not sure this will work, just try. the installer should complains that you did not set any mountpoints, maybe entering the Set Filesystem Mountpoints step, and exiting with DONE can fix this.
Thanks for your reply, will try that.
One question tho, how would I set the swap partition using that method?

[Solved] First installation: HP Photosmart C4280 - Epson EPL-4200L

Hi,
this is my first post in the forum since two day ago have removed kubuntu and installed arch. Thanks the awesome wiki I was able to configure lvm, wireless, bluetooth, graphics, etc but have great problems configuring my two printers.
I have installed, as in wiki,
cups
ghostscript
gsfonts
gutenprint
foomatic-db
foomatic-db-engine
foomatic-db-nonfree
foomatic-filters
hplip
cups-pdf
have added cups to the DAEMONS array in rc.conf and my account to lp group and edited /etc/cups/cupsd.conf so now I have SystemGroup lp
**Epson EPL-4200L**
It's a laser print working on parallel port. Was not necessary add in rc.conf lp, parport, parport_pc modules since they are loaded automatically.
Obviously neither kde systemsetting printer applet nor cups web interface find my printer. Here some output of dmesg:
dmesg | egrep -i "parport|lp|epson"
lp: driver loaded but no devices found
parport_pc 00:06: reported by Plug and Play ACPI
parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE]
parport0: Printer, EPSON EPL-6200L
lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven)
**HP Photosmart C4280**
It's a combo (printer/scanner) connected through usb. In lsusb I have:
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 03f0:5c11 Hewlett-Packard PhotoSmart C4200 Printer series
I've blacklisted usblp in /etc/rc.conf and changed device node permission. Since:
ls -l /dev/bus/usb/003/004
crw-rw----+ 1 root lp 189, 259 2 giu 20.12 /dev/bus/usb/003/004
have created /etc/udev/rules.d/10-usbprinter.rules and inserted this:
#HP Photosmart C4280
ATTR{idVendor}=="03f0", ATTR{idProduct}=="5c11", MODE:="0660", GROUP:="lp"
LABEL="usbprinter_rules_end"
usbcore is already loaded so no need to insert it in rc.conf
Even this printer is unrecognized.
I have made an attempt using hp tools: with sudo have launched hp-setup and it finds the printer but clicking on "Printer test page" nothing appens; the same from hp-toolbox.
I need a very big help. Thanks
P.S. I have added my account to sudoers and disabled root: I don't know if this is important.
Last edited by gcala (2010-06-04 10:19:58)

Solved! It was probably a permission problem; used to kubuntu I had added my account to sudoers and blocked root so during printer configuration i used my account/password as credentials; even if they are accepted there is a problem with sudo configuration that make it unusable with cups; so root account is necessary. Using root make other settings useless: inserting !usblp in rc.conf, modify device node permission. Adding own account to lp group is enough.
To use HP scanner add your account to scanner group and uncomment hpaio line in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf

[Solved] Several installs and issues with DHCP issue every time.

Edited: more concise information!
Hi folks,
I was using Arch fine for months but decided to reinstall it fresh at the new year, but since then I have been plagued by connection issues. I install Arch and follow many of the tips found in these Wikis to set it up how I like then install preload and readahead.
Post-Installation Tips
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pos … ation_Tips
- LCD filtered fonts
- Disable IPv6 (I use Chorus/NTL and they have a tip for improving Firefox that disables IPv6, so I think that this is not to blame)
Laptop
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Laptop
- Battery state monitoring utilities (acpi)
- Laptop-mode-toold
- Powernowd
Maximising Performance
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Max … erformance
- Swapiness
- Mount /tmp to RAM
My internet connection works fine, even when rebooting, but later I turn on my computer and WICD or networkmanager fails on "obtaining IP address. I really think that there is something in one of these tips that is causing this problem, but I am at a loss as to what. Like I say, I was using it happily for many months before these current issues. The only thing I did differently was systematically set up my computer with all the tips detailed above, where as before, I collected these tips over a period of time and did not do them all straight after installation. I have tried rolling back the changes and this has not fixed the issue.
I have had this issue over many reinstalls, using networkmanager or WICD and each time I was hoping that I was doing something wrong. I have an Ubuntu and work Windows laptop that both work fine, so I don.t think it is anything to do with the connection itself.
I am not sure what information you would need so I thought I would post both of these files. If you would like anything else, give me a shout and i can post it.

Hey Scott!
I don't know if it is helpful in any way but I have a similar problem with my desktop PC.
I have two ethernet controllers installed and somtimes I had a Ip address assigned and sometimes I didn't.
One which is connected to the router and a 2nd one I use sporadically to connect additional computers.
The dhcpcd would fail to load even if I followed steps suggested from other forum members.
My temporary fix was to run:
# dhcpcd
manually.
If this helps you might consider adding "dhcpcd" at the end of
/etc/rc.d/network
I know it's not really a fix but it helps me to get a working connection whoch otherwise would fail - or work if lucky but i don't like lucky with network/internet ^^

[solved] Boot installer from hard disk, but install from external DVD.

Hi!
I have an old notebook with broken cd-rom and without support to boot from USB disks (only "USB-FDD"). I want to install on this notebook Arch Linux! I bought an external DVD writer and I would like to only boot Arch linux, but install from external drive. How can I do it?

Yes. My laptop does not support booting from usb-cd and usb-hdd
But I installed Arch by grub4dos to boot from iso, connect external dvd and start installation. System successfully detected the dvd drive so I could install a new system!

[solved] Gnome3 - installation issues (missing lib / missing bin)

Hi everyone,
i tried to install Gnome 3 from testing.
However i ran into some problems.
Problem 1:
While installing I get some "gtk-update-icon-cache: command not found" errors. They come from install scripts that are executed while upgrading.
I am 100% sure that the gtk-update-icon-cache binary is present in /usr/lib before executing pacman -Syu.
After pacman the binary is gone, reinstalling the package helps. So it seems some package breaks something here. (Don't know exactly which though, because there are plenty installed when upgrading)
Problem 2:
Just for the records: I'm using arch x86_64 and my repo order is
- testing
- multilib-testing
- community-testing
- core
- extra
- community
nothing else.
Upgrading itself works fine. Gnome 3 starts and fallback mode (gnome-panel) works from what I can see. (starting programs, including nautlilus, works well)
But when I try to start gnome-shell (with or without the --replace option) I get an "error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-3.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".
Sometimes it is libgdk instead of gtk.
Additional information:
Using an Lenovo x200 with intel graphics. intel-dri is installed.
I used compiz in gnome2, could that arise some problems?
It does not work with a new user account also.
If you need any further information to help me, feel free to ask. I tried the search engine but couldn't find any results regarding gtk-update-icon-cache or libgtk-x11. (Searching the packages via google seems to show that no package contains these files?!)
Thank you very much
David

Solved printer installation problem – "error-user-request-value-too-long"

A discussion in July 2006 left the problem of printer installation unsolved. My contacts with Apple Support have also led to frustration for everyone.
Whenever I have tried to install any printer I end up with the error message:
"error-user-request-value-too-long".
Luckily I discovered the shareware program "Printer set up repair" on Versiontracker. It worked wonders in 5 minutes. Now everything is fully functioning. It also provides an extremely useful log-file telling you which (often hidden) files that are missing or damaged.
Address: www.fixamacsoftware.com/software
Phew!

Well, I tried all of that and I'm still getting the error message. I've also repaired disk permissions and run Disk Warrior. When I repaired disk permissions, many HP printer items showed up in the list.

[SOLVED] xmonad installation - confused (?)

After recovering from a failed xmonad installation, I thought it would be a good idea to post this..
Again, to everyone who helped with my other thread, I'm sorry if this is stupid.
Every guide on installing xmonad is out of date. Or everyone that I have found anyway. I have already "sudo pacman -S xmonad" and installed it, but where do I go from here?
I have tried putting "exec xmonad" in my xinitrc, but when I login, xmonad does not start. I get this in terminal when I try running "xmonad" in gnome:
Error detected while loading xmonad configuration file: /home/skai/.xmonad/xmonad.hs
xmonad.hs:5:18:
Could not find module `XMonad.Actions.Warp':
Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
Please check the file for errors.
/home/skai/.xmonad/xmonad-i386-linux: executeFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)
xmonad: xmessage: executeFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)
X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
Major opcode of failed request: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
Serial number of failed request: 7
Current serial number in output stream: 8
It says an error has been detected with my xmonad.hs. I just copied some random config in the hopes of getting this to work, so maybe that has something to do with it.
After that it says xmonad-i386-linux: executeFile does not exist.. I don't know anything about that. Can anyone point me in the right direction with this?
Edit ---------------------------------------~~~~
I deserve at least one reply, no?
I have seen this problem on forums everywhere, but people either get it fixed automagically they talk to someone on IRC and figure it out. I'm not a very lucky guy, and I don't know any IRC channels.
All I'm really looking for is an installation/configure guide for xmonad, if anybody has one, please post.

I just copied some random config in the hopes of getting this to work, so maybe that has something to do with it.
Dont use random configs found somewhere on the net. Start from the default one and extend it to your needs.
Every guide on installing xmonad is out of date.
A bit bold statement. I see nothing wrong with this one: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xmonad
I suggest remove everything from your .xmonad dir and start over.
Also, dont be impatient.

[SOLVED] Offline Installation Help

I'm new to Arch. It's just 2 days since I've downloaded the iso. I installed it and it worked really nice. However, I messed up the system trying out some experiments.
Now I want to reinstall it. I have my /var/cache/pacman/pkg folder backed up. Is there a way I can skip the humongous download and install these? My ISP gives me really low bandwidth speeds. Thanks in advance.

Hi swapnil360,
I always do offline installation. Use repoadd to create your custom repo on your dvd and install it when required. Check Pacman Tips for more details.

[SOLVED] Pacman installs old versions of Chrome/Firefox

I just tried to install Chrome and Firefox on a brand new installation of Arch. It turns out Pacman automatically installs Chrome 5 and Firefox 3.6. These are rather outdated versions. According to this page:
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=arch
Chrome should be version 13 and FF version 5.
When I run pacman -Syu it tells me nothing to do either...

You really need to do this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 69#p973869
Your mirrorlist is outdated, you need to get a fresh one.
