[SOLVED]System Hang in Arch Linux

I have tried distributions like ubuntu and fedora in hope for finding a stable system . So I move on to Arch Linux
But this problem also exist on Arch. While using my Arch Linux (including ubuntu and fedora) my system hangs with a black screen with something written on the whole screen which cannot be pasted here as my system hangs and I have to push power button to restart.
So I check my errors.log file and found these errors
Jul  8 22:59:24 localhost kernel: [    1.680013] ata3: softreset failed (device not ready)
Jul  8 22:59:24 localhost kernel: [    7.298612] SP5100 TCO timer: mmio address 0xfec000f0 already in use
Jul  8 22:59:31 localhost kdm_greet[792]: Cannot load /usr/share/apps/kdm/faces/.default.face: No such file or directory
I have a HCL K21 pdc notebook
Note: In Ubuntu my notebook start with ata1: softreset failed error at boot time
Most often this error occur while watching videos or listening music with VLC

  • [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] 3d Acceleration on Arch Linux guest

    I've just installed the latest FTP Arch Linux (2009.02) as a Guest running in Virtual Box 3.0.2 in my Windows 7 host, and I cannot get Xorg working at all.
    - 3D Acceleration is enabled for the VM, and 128MB of video memory allocated
    - Guest Additions were installed successfully, added rc.vboxadd to daemons, and everything loads ok on startup.
    Output of 'dmesg | grep vbox':
    vboxadd: Successfully loaded version 3.0.2 (interface 0x0010004)
    vboxvfs: Successfully loaded version 3.0.2 (interface 0x0010004)
    [drm] Initialized vboxvideo 1.0.0 20090303 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 0
    Here is my .xinitrc:
    /usr/bin/VBoxClient-all
    I've symlinked vboxvideo_dri.so since the installer didn't do it.
    Output of 'ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/vboxvideo_dri.so':
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2009-07-31 22:42 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/vboxvideo_dri.so -> /usr/lib/VBoxOGL.so
    And error when I run 'startx':
    (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/vboxvideo_dri.so failed (libXcomposite.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
    (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
    waiting for X server to shut down
    And then it shuts down, without even trying to load swrast_dri.so. But the weirdest part is, that symlink exists, but X is saying it doesn't! I've restarted the VM and still get the same error.
    Here is my xorg.conf (created by installing GA), and I do have HAL up and running, loaded before the rc.vboxadd daemon:
    # Default xorg.conf for Xorg 1.5+ without PCI_TXT_IDS_PATH enabled.
    # This file was created by VirtualBox Additions installer as it
    # was unable to find any existing configuration file for X.
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "VirtualBox Video Card"
    Driver "vboxvideo"
    EndSection
    So... what next?

    Silly me, I forgot the libxcomposite package. I guess I should read the errors closer.
    Anyway, I'm still getting an error (signal 11) being caused by VBoxClient-all. Here is my Xorg.0.log:

  • [SOLVED] Trying to install Arch Linux from harddisk using /dev/sda2

    Hi
    I'm trying to install Arch using my swap partition, following this wiki entry: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ha … stallation
    What I've done:
    Downloaded ISO: archlinux-2010.05-netinstall-i686.iso
    Command: swapoff /dev/sda2
    Command: fdisk /dev/sda and changed the system type to 83 (Linux) on /dev/sda2
    Now it looks like:
    Command (m for help): p

    /dev/sda4 105579180 488392064 191406442+ 83 Linux
    It complained about device was busy, but it still seemed to have changed the system type, so I did partprobe as it wrote.
    WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy.
    The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at
    the next reboot or after you run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8)
    Syncing disks.
    [root@swamp ~]# partprobe

    Next I did:

    And unmounted it again.
    The wiki page says to type: fsck -f /dev/sda2fsck, but I get no such file while trying to open sda2fsck.
    [root@swamp ~]# fsck -f /dev/sda2fsck
    fsck from util-linux-ng 2.18
    e2fsck 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
    fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sda2fsck
    The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
    filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
    filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
    is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
    Can I ignore the above and continue modifying grub?
    Thanks :-)
    Last edited by valvet (2010-11-08 14:49:07)

    fsck -f /dev/sda2fsck makes no sense because /dev/sda2fsck is not a deivce. If the wiki says that, then it is wrong. It's only doing a fsck anyway so probably not really needed. If you are just formatting th swap partition then use, mkfs.ext{234}.
    edit:
    from the wiki
    # fsck -f /dev/sda2fsck 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008)

  • [SOLVED]How to install Arch Linux UEFI to dual-boot?

    Hey,
    so I have a Lenovo G50-70 on which I want to have a Windows-Arch dualboot. I followed the Beginner's Guide, installed Arch but ended up with an inaccessible Windows. I could boot into Windows from the BIOS utility, but not from the gummiboot bootloader.
    The guide said if I wanted to dual-boot, I must leave windows EFI partition alone, which I did. I have my Windows partitions set up the Windows way, with the system reserved and EFI and recovery partitions, and I have my Windows partition of course and a data partition. After that I have some unallocated space, on which I made the Arch partitions, /dev/sda6 as an ESP partition for the EFI files, /dev/sda7 as root, /dev/sda8 as swap and /dev/sda9 as /home. The install process went without any error, then I made some configurations and installed dosfstools & efibootmgr. After that, I installed gummiboot and ran "gummiboot --path=/boot install". After that I created the configuration files exactly like in the guide, unmounted the partitions, rebooted and saw that there's no (easy) way getting into Windows. So my question is: how can I install Arch to have a working dual-boot system?
    Thanks for any help in advance!
    Regards, Matteussz

    Hey,
    Writing to you on my working dual-boot with ArchLinux (Windows 8.1 64-Bit, UEFI)
    So first step I've done is creating free space of an existing partition in the windows disk management (windows button and r and then type diskmgmt.msc). At this step, you have to record which partition your efi partition is (just take a look at your efi partition and remember the mb of this partition for later)
    Then go into the uefi settings (bios) and disable secure boot as well as fast boot, otherwise it could cause data crash.
    Boot your Arch Live CD and follow the beginners guide all the way along till you reach the disk management.
    If you want to have swap, you can create yours right now, should be a primary partition of about 4gigs.
    Next partition is gonna be your home, system partition (I've didn't created two partitions for home and for the system but you could do this as well as just go with one partition) this partition gonna be formatted in ext4
    Next step, you have to mount your windows-efi partition in /boot/efi but don't format it dont remeber if it asks you how to use the partition but if so, just use as fat32.
    After the disk management go ahead with your arch installation and follow the beginners guide. (Make sure you're using the grub bootloader)
    After finishing the installation, restart your system, hopefully you will recognize the opening grub menu. (but dont scare, windows wont show in the grub menu at this time so you have to boot your arch)
    Arrived in arch linux type the command
    grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
    Reboot and your done with your Arch Linux, Windows 8 dual boot, hopefully

  • [Solved] RAID 0 with Arch Linux and Intel Matrix Storage Manager

    I just bought a brand new DELL Studio desktop and it has 2 500 HD's which I would like to run in RAID 0. I've setup the BIOS to run the RAID 0. Now I want the arch linux installation to recognise the volume. I followed the guide on the wikipage
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … _Fake-RAID
    but /dev/mapper doesn't show anything after modprobing the modules and installing dmraid. My controller is a intel matrix storage controller, so what module should I modprobe because sata_sil isn't the right one.
    Regards
    André
    Last edited by fettouhi (2008-12-15 10:57:18)

    you have a separate /boot partition, so your menu.lst must say :
    root (hd0,0) # the partition including /boot
    kernel /vmlinuz26 ... # without leading /boot
    initrd /kernel26.img # without leading /boot
    (in grub, / is the root of the partition that was set with the root command, your vmlinuz26 and kernel26.img are in (hd0,0)/, not in (hd0,0)/boot/)
    did you install from core CD or from FTP ?
    there was a dmraid update few weeks ago that modified device names that dmraid creates :
    it add "p" before the number of the partition (your iws...Volume0 don't change, but your iws...Volume0# change to iws...Volume0p#)
    if you installed from core CD, you will only need to add this "p" when you will upgrade dmraid (or the full system)
    (you will then need to edit both /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab)
    if you installed from FTP, you need to add this "p" now, as you installed last version of dmraid

  • [SOLVED] Mount Points In Arch Linux

    When I performed my initial testing install of Arch Linux today, and I was setting up mount points after I finished partitioning with Cfdisk, I was surprised to see that one of the precanned mount points in the Installer was /etc. On OpenBSD, we were warned against having /etc on its own partition, probably because so much important stuff lives there (like the fstab). I was also surprised to see /var wasn't in the precanned list.
    Anyway, my question is, can you really have /etc on it's own partition? And does the exclusion of /var indicate a problem with it being on its own partition?

  • [SOLVED] Cookie settings for Arch Linux forum

    I really do like the Arch Linux forum.
    It is fast, plain and simple; perfect for a distro which is the same
    But one thing is bothering me; the cookies.
    The arch forum is the only forum for me where the 'new post' colored picture at the left side of the forum parts is not unmarked after reading the new posts.
    After I have read all new posts, I do 'mark all topics as read' (the link at the right top) to have this result.
    For example phpbb forums do have cookie settings where the forums which are read, automatically turn the 'new post' icon off; it is not colored but the normal color again.
    Can it be that some forum settings are not completely right and this should be also the case at the Arch forums?
    Hope I have explained it that way you can understand what I mean.
    Jan
    Last edited by Lontronics (2007-03-03 17:07:04)

    Yes, and it has nothing to do with the cookie (except a session).. at least i hope it doesn't cuz that would just make me twice as glad that we switched away from that horrid chunk of code called phpbb.
    And on that note, search around a bit, because this has already been explained like three times.

  • [Solved] Cannot ping my Arch linux pc from other devices

    My newly installed arch linux pc is connected to my home network via wifi. I can successfully connect to the Internet. Also, I can successfully ping other devices on my network. However, I am unable to connect to my Arch linux pc from any other device on the network. As I said, I cannot even ping it from these other devices.
    Does anyone have an idea as to what would cause this?

    I switched my Arch box to Dhcp. I thought the problem had resolved, but the issue has come back even with Dhcp enabled. I have isolated the problem to the wireless router. If I refresh Dhcp on the router, I can then ping my Arch box from other devices again. Is there anything I can do to the router to resolve this? Again, the wireless router is an Asus RT-N66U.

  • [SOLVED] System hangs at random, suspect X is the culprit

    For a bit over a week now, my system has been hanging seemingly at random. When watching youtube videos, when web browsing, when watching stuff in mplayer, probably more times too. The only way to get back to normal is hitting the physical reset button.
    Using KDE (normal, not mod) on Arch 64. nVidia GeForce 210 graphics card, have had hangs with both the nvidia and nouveau drivers. I spent a couple days with the nv driver and no hang, but that driver lacks features I need (specifically, tvtime won't work, and I need that for my tv card). (And anyway, it's not certain the lack of hanging wasn't just luck).
    Behaviour is as follows:
    NumLock responds.
    Mouse pointer moves normally.
    If Amarok is playing music, the playing song continues but the next one does not start.
    No GUI elements respond.
    CapsLock does not work.
    Ctrl+Alt+F1 does not work.
    Alt+SysRq+REISUB does not work.
    Have not tested pinging or sshing into the hung system.
    Have not yet tried using my motherboard's onboard ATI graphics instead of the nVidia card.
    Have not yet tried a different desktop environment.
    Probably ruled out as causes:
    Cooling issues. I took the case cover off and added a second fan, temps were notably lower than usual, but still got a hang.
    Being hacked. chkrootkit run from a livecd showed up nothing at least.
    Memory issues. memtest86+ passed twice in a row.
    Xinerama, I explicitly disabled it in xorg.conf
    I get the following in my Xorg.0.log after it hangs

    This is not a bug with just Arch, a cursory search yields:
    http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=578056
    https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=597078
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465884
    https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=42833
    The problem with diagnosing it is that the "EQ Overflowing" bit is completely ambiguous.  It seems to affect both Intel and Nvidia users so it's possible that the bug is actually not in the driver code.  Sorry I can't really be of any substantial help.

  • [SOLVED*] system hangs at startup after grub screen

    My system is hanged after the grub window. I choose Archlinux, like always, apparently starts to boot and the next screen is frozen. It says:
    /dev/sda2: recovering journal
    /dev/sda2: clean ....
    systemd-fsck[208]: /dev/sda1: recovering transactions file
    systemd-fsck[208]: /dev/sda1: clean ...
    systemd-fsck[221]: /dev/sda4: recovering transactions file
    systemd-fsck[221]: /dev/sda4: clean ...
    And that's it. It frozes in this point. I didn't make any update since 3 days ago. Yesterday the computer runs well.
    I tried to enter into Fallback mode, but I get to the same point.
    Any suggestions?
    Solved partially: I connected a second screen this morning. When I disconnect it, the system starts. Now I have to solve how to add a second screen because when I add it once the system is running, it hangs.

    Have you looked at any logs whatsoever?

  • [SOLVED] Configuring XFCE on Arch Linux to Use Uswsusp

    Hello, first time Archer and I am quickly loving it more than the other distros I have been using over the years.
    I have an oldish MacBook Pro (6,2 model, 3-4 years old) I have running Arch with base, base-devel, a variety of selected apps, and now XFCE.  I got uswsusp working, and I just usually open the Linux terminal or a terminal emulator and run `sudo s2disk`.  How do I configure XFCE buttons from the Logout menu to allow s2disk and s2ram?  I have seen a little documentation of the xfconf-query tool and using it, for example, to completely disable such icons for kiosk mode from the official XFCE forum, but I cannot figure out how to choose the suspend and hibernate commands.
    Anyone know how?
    Last edited by ajstein (2014-03-11 11:27:27)

    I assume no one is going to help with this, but rereading the instructions from the wiki regarding using uswsusp with the pm-utils section and using the FreeDesktop component one would use via dbus-send does not work, because it is dated.
    [me@laptop ~]$ dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend
    Error org.freedesktop.UPower.GeneralError: Method is deprecated, please port to org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.Suspend
    I am looking into how to fix this up.  Sorry if I am being bothersome.

  • [SOLVED] System freeze after upgrade linux-3.12.9-2 to linux-3.13.4-1

    After upgrading from kernel 3.12.9 to 3.13.4 (booth x86_64 architecture) i detected system freeze after round about 0.5s of the login screen about 80% of the time.
    So i first thought it coulbe be the the ati driver and uninstalled that via livecd/chroot.
    But the same thing happens in comand line only mode.
    Afterwards i setup at ssh server to get into the maschine if it is still running, but is was also not responding to that.
    Downgrading to 3.12.9 solved the issue. In journalctl i could not find any usefull information.
