[solved] Shutdown and Mount problems

Hello Arch-community
I did a fresh webinstallation with xfce.
Everybody seems to be running fine, expect this rights problem with shutdown/reboot and mounting CDs and other partitions.
This is my ~/.xinitrc:
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch startxfce4
The daemons look like this:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !network netfs crond dbus hal networkmanager)
My user is in the following groups:
lp wheel games network video audio storage scanner power
I also added the code from the HALs-wikipage to /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf - However the folder didn´t even exist and I had to create that file.
And I can´t seem to find any other solutions =/
I hope you can help me...

No, I was using the ~/.bash_profile method. I tried commenting it out and starting xfce manually after login with the same problem.
However, while rereading the wikiarticle I decided to use slim, which solved my problems.
Thank you for yor help, everyone!

Coping iso file and mounting problem

Hi
I am using Windows 8.1 Update Enterprise 64 bit and Windows ADK.
I noticed that, if I select the "Environment of the deployment tools and creations images" and I click on the "Run as Administrator" item of his Pop-Up menu and I mount on a iso image of windows 8.1 Update, when I run the command
robocopy <Drive_Letter>:\"<Windows_Files_Path>" /e
to copy all its files in a directory and the command
dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:"<Windows_Files_Path>"\install.wim /Index:<Image_Index> /MountDir:"<Mount_Directory_Path>"
to mount an image volume, this error appears:
Error: 0xc1510111
Not have permission to mount and modify this image.
However, if I copy these files through the "file explorer" window, the mounting of this volume image is working properly. How come?
Thanks
Bye

Additionally I can see that the original question asked was copied from this post 2 years ago:
http://www.eightforums.com/installation-setup/54246-coping-iso-file-mounting-problem.html
is this really your problem?
Really, this is not a MDT related question. perhaps a general Windows Setup forum would be a better place to ask this question.

[SOLVED] avahi sftp mount problem

greetings,
i hope i'm posting this in the right subforum (the other abvious choice would have been networking), but since this is likely to be a configuration issue, i'll post here. sorry, i'm kind of a newbie here.
sso.. i'm using a thinkpad t42, i've installed arch linux for the second time (please be patient with me, lol), and i've set up everything correctly: i have the latest gnome (2.30), and kernel. uname -a:
Linux YURI 2.6.32-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Mar 15 20:08:25 UTC 2010 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
yesterday, i've messed around a bit with my rc.conf, and now everytime i try to mount a mac share via avahi/sftp, i only see nautilus's 'opening *insert-share-name-here*', and a certain process (gvfsd-sftp) eats all my processor resources. the share never actually gets mounted. i'm guessing some kernel module is not loaded, or there's a problem with the order of my daemons.
i've searched around in on the wiki, on the forums and in google, but to no avail. everything is supposed to be in order. if someone can help, please do.
modules array from rc.conf:
MODULES=(acpi-cpufreq cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_conservative cpufreq_userspace cpufreq_powersave fuse !slhc !thinkpad-acpi e1000 ipw2100)
daemons array:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus hal crond alsa !network rpcbind nfs-common nfs-server netfs ntpd avahi-daemon networkmanager gdm)
thank you,
bamdad

update:
it seems, rc.conf has nothing to do with the problem. i'll leave it here for reference, but i tried logging in to gnome as root, and voilá, i could connect without a problem. so there had to be something messed up with my gnome settings. i had a crash yesterday, during which i was logged in to the other computer.
so i popped open Accessories>Passwords and Encryption keys from the gnome menu and deleted the [email protected] and [email protected] (interestingly, there wasn't an [email protected], and the problem was resolved.
my guess is that the crash somehow messed up my stored login information, and thus gvfsd-sftp went crazy trying to authenticate. if you happen to have the same problem, try the solution above.

Hi CB, i'm very appreciating your effort to solve my problem
I tried your way to press OKR key when my laptop is Off.
What i got is, i go to my win10 logo. Not to bios one
And when i'm on my desktop, there's no other thing than my ordinary desktop.
FYI, before i get the win10 logo, i got the black screen with F2 to bios and F12 to select boot order. But i prefer not to press it.
Its just like the same with pressing power button to power on my laptop.
Any idea how to solve it CB ?
I'm familiar with laptop stuff. So maybe you can show me how i fix it myself.
Big thanks CB
Just a couple of questions to clear up my understanding of the situation - bear with me.
Before you installed Windows 10, did the power button respond normally and were you able to see your BIOS pages?
Also - when you installed / upgraded to Windows 10 was it a "clean install" or did you follow the upgrade path?
If you were able to operate the notebook with the power button prior to installing / upgrading to Windows 10 I would try booting from a "live DVD" for Linux (Mint / Ubuntu / Fedora) to see if it works in that situation. If it works as expected in Linux then we have a Windows OS issue to deal with.
If you performed a "clean install" of Windows 10 it may have wiped out the factory partition (hidden) on your hard drive and going back to factory settings may not be an option.
Cheers.

[Solved]IDE Drive mounting problem.

Hey all, I've got an annoying problem with one of my IDE drives.
Basically I just can't get it to mount, during boot up I get a few errors:
end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 0
Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 0
ata2: EH complete
unable to read partition table
Corrupt partition table, simple enough? I wish. I can mount the drive without error in both my Windows and Ubuntu 7.10 install. Which leads me to think it dislikes using the PATA driver or whatever the change was in later kernels.
The really puzzling part is that I can wipe the drive and create a new partition with parted, then mount it manually and copy data to it. But as soon as I reboot I am back the start, getting I/O errors and can't mount.
A couple of guys on IRC were saying to rmmod the pata drivers and modprobe the ide ones, but I have no experience with either of those functions. And from what I can see there is like 15 different IDE drives I could choose from, so have no idea what I should be doing.
Any help is appreciated.

Well as insane as this seems to me, removing the jumper on drive and making it cable select fixed it...

[SOLVED] cifs / sshfs mounting problem

I have a Ubuntu 12.04 home server running samba. I use autofs to mount a share from that server on my Arch desktop. This worked fine until about a week ago. Now if I try to cd to the mount point, the terminal hangs a long time. Eventually, I can run an ls, but trying to list a subdirectory with a lot of files get stuck indefinitely. Accessing it through thunar or dolphin also hangs. Strangely, using sshfs instead of cifs also hangs.
If I use my Crunchbang netbook, or a Windows laptop to access the share, it works fine. sshfs on the netbook also works. So the problem seems to be specific to the Arch desktop. I don't see any sign of problems in logs on either end (the samba server log, server syslog, desktop journalctl -xn and dmesg).
Any thoughts? It's probably related to a pacman update at some point, but since I don't access the share frequently, I can't be sure when. I also tried using systemd's automount instead, it also hangs.

Elitebook 8460P - Shutdown and USB problem

We're having a very odd problem. When the system (HP Elitebook 8460P running Windows 7 x64 Enterprise) is online over wireless, everything works fine. HOWEVER, 2 very odd behaviors manifest if the system is not connected to a wireless internet connection:
- It will not shutdown. The system will hang at "shutting down . . ." message. If the power is turned off (5 sec press on power button), it will boot up the next time saying that it was not shut down properly.
- one of the USB 3 ports will not work (this is incredibly odd!). Not sure how the 2 could be connected, but apparently they are!
The system is well-maintained, and shows no signs of viruses or malware. All drivers and software are up to date, including BIOS. If the system is connected any working wireless connections, neither problem occurs.

Hello!
I suggest you open your command prompt and run the "sfc /scannow" command to ensure that your system files are intact. Make sure to post the result.
Have a great day.

Well, I screwed up. HAL, floppy icon, and mounting problems...halp?

Arch running Xfce here.
The other day I tried to mount an external hard drive by just plugging it in. It wouldn't work (obviously), so I Googled a solution and used it. Problem is, now I can't remember what I did, and I'm having problems. I think I may have messed with some conf files...
First, the floppy icon on my desktop won't go away unless I tweak a setting that would also stop external hard drives from appearing on the desktop (which I would like to keep).
Second, when I plug in my external hard drive, it no longer appears.
Third, HAL won't start.
I know that's not much to work with, but where can I start trying to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it?

Ok, managed to reinstall HAL, but I still can't access my hard drive. I had a new error when trying to open the external hard drive by double-clicking the desktop icon: "org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable no <-- (action, result)." I managed to get rid of that error by following the advice here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 05#p506905 and here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 38#p585338. Now when I try to access the drive I get a permission denied error. Trying to change the permissions so that my user account can access the drive (with chmod or sudo thunar) results in the error "Operation not supported" for every single file on the drive. What am I missing?

[SOLVED] SSD and boot problem

I recently bought a new 30GB Corsair SSD, and it runs wonderfully. However, the device takes a considerably long time to initialize on boot (~30-45 seconds).
Here's a snippet of the relevant dmesg output:

I haven't encountered this problem with any other drive I've put in there, so I'm guessing it must be SSD-related. Has anyone else experienced something similar, and could you point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Do you think it's defective/worth replacing? It's more of an annoyance than anything, and the drive has no other visible issues other than on initialization.
Yes, I do. Healthy drives don't timeout on simple DMA initialization requests.

Wont shutdown, and other problems...

My G4 iMac won't shut down properly -- the screen goes black, but the fan keeps spinning so I have to hold the power button in to power down.
Now, when I start up I get the grey screen with the apple, followed by a blank blue screen for a while followed by the login window.
Disk utility says my disk is fine and finds no errors, but it hangs when I try to check permissions.
I have also tried resetting the PRAM, the PMU and did an archive and install but these made no difference (oh, and I've checked thoroughly for any corrupted fonts too!).
Any ideas?

Hi duncanm, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you tried disconnecting all peripherals (unmount any firewire devices before disconnecting), only Apple keyboard and mouse? Then test your shutdown.

Need help solving listener and Oracle problems with Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger"

I have Oracle 10g working on Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" except for the listener and Oracle net 8 configuration. I have not been able to get the Oracle listener to work with my built in Mac Airport wireless network card or built in ethernet card. I keep getting the errors
connection refused cannot start listener. Can anyone offer help?
Thanks

Hi Ben,
how does your listener.ora look like ?
Mine is:
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ronald-g4-eth)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ronald-g4-wifi)(PORT = 1521))
and listens to the ethernet and airport address.
When do you get the problems ?

[SOLVED]mplayer and urxvt problems after update

Hello to all fellow archers!
Couple of days back, I updated xorg-server, like most of the people around here, so I asume that issues I`m going to describe, could be related to xorg-server being recently updated.
First issue is related to mplayer not playing movies in fullscreen format, despite being told to do so. The image size of a video is about 20% of screen resolution size, while the rest of the screen is just black.

I tried switching between many different video out drivers, the only one that plays video normaly is x11, but the image size is very small.
I`m using vesa driver and my video card is

I found a partial solution to mplayer problem in this tread http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=60054 where patroclo7 stated, that from this update on, X is using autodetection and doesn`t need xorg.conf anymore.
Anyways I followed the advice deleted my xorg.conf and rebooted arch without xorg.conf. Everything works, even the video in mplayer is running at normal size, however the default screen resolution is a bit to high.
I would like to set it to 1024x768 (monitor, philips 107E5) but don`t have a clue how to change screen resolution without xorg.conf being present. I`m using openbox as a standalone wm.
I still have a backup of my working xorg.conf file, so I can switch between xorg.conf and the other config.
Just for the record, video files are displayed properly using vlc as media player on both described configurations.
To sum everything up, how to set screen resolution at 1024x 768 without xorg.conf being present or how to fix mplayer displaying movies in a very small screen/box, despite running in fullscreen mode (using xorg.conf).
My second problem is regarding urxvt and its borderless. If I set it to true urxvt hangs on start everytime. The terminal is displayed in top left corner of the screen but it`s frozen and can`t be used, while being set to false works like a charm.

The solution for mplayer using xorg.conf file as follows:
To get fullscreen video working just add
zoom = yes
to /.mplayer/config
In case if you are using gui for mplayer and get the following error trying to play a video file
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device
Open /.mplayer/gui.conf and change vo_driver from "xv" to "x11".
Urxvt solution is described here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=457421 but also check this for explanation http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.wi … enbox/3947

[solved] sudo and yaourt problems after recent updates

After recent updates (past week) yaourt started giving me problems. When using yaourt it prompts me for sudo password but it does not seem to use my sudo configuration.
I get this:
[sudo] password for root:
[sudo] password for root:
Password:
su: Authentication failure
Password:
When entering mine or root's password I just get prompt again. The last password is for su, which when I enter root's works.
It seems sudo is not using /etc/sudoers configuration either, as I have things like insults enabled and it used to work previously.
Any reason for this?
sudo works fine otherwise.
