[Solved] Trouble installing by running a .run file

Hi all,
I've had great success installing the Humble Frozenbyte package on my ubuntu partition but am using my Archlinux partition more. I've tried to install by:
Method 1
su
/filelocation/filename.run
Method 2
sh /filelocation/filename.run
Method 3
sudo sh /filelocation/filename.run
It is executable file under my account ownership. I get error message "cannot execute binary file" no matter how I do this. Can anyone shed some insight as to possible solutions? I've scoured through searching for keywoards like "how to install .run" and also "cannot execute binary file" but after a few days of searching, there has been no enlightenment.

I am a fool! I just solved this. When trying to run just /filelocation/filename.run I got another error msg about missing dependency libglade, so I installed the lib32-libglade and all is good. Sorry for wasting time here, marking as solved.

[SOLVED]Trouble installing/running gnuradio (companion)

I have followed all wikis/tutorials/... but still can't get gnuradio (companion) to work...
It always seems to boil down to a problem when running the generated python file.
I tried installing gnuradio using pacman and the AUR package as told on the wiki (but the dependencies are unavailable).
I can run gnuradio companion but it gets stuck at executing the python code.
Example:
Executing: "/home/tinus/GNURadio/CosTest.py"

I think your problem maybe as simple as missing the dependency "python2-opengl". See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=182732.
I too had the error you reported and found people submitting long patches to GNURadio but I added the dependency and it resolved my issue while using "wxpython 3.0.2.0-1" as reported by "pacman -Qe wxpython".
Hope this helps others as this thread is a highly ranked page on google when searching "gnuradio getsize".

I am having trouble installing and running the latest version (11.1.4) of itunes for windows

I have downloaded itunes 11.1.4 on my windows vista pc and i get a nicrosoft visual c++ runtime error message 6034 and can't get any further. Does anybody know how to fix this?

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.

[SOLVED] Trouble installing on SSD with GPT partitioning

Hi there!
I'm trying to install Arch on my brandnew SSD. As per the wiki, I've set the SSD up to use GPT partitioning. I've created a first 1MB partition of type BIOS boot partition, and in the mobo's BIOS I've set the SATA controllers to AHCI mode. I've manually created an ext4 filesystem on the 2nd partition before running arch's installer. In the installer, I chose not to install a boot loader, cause this is said to install GRUB, while GPT partitioning requires GRUB2. So, after installation, I've chrooted into the installation, cause there doesn't seem to be any other way to get GRUB2 installed. I've pacman -Sy'd grub2 and left the chroot. I've tried to run
grub-install --recheck --no-floppy --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
, but got
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take some time.
The file /mnt/boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly
What's the matter? How am I supposed to get a working boot loader onto my new SSD?
Best wishes,
Rufus

Check whether grub-install belongs to grub package or grub2 package. Try to install these updated grub2 packages from here
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9710721/skodabe … pkg.tar.xz - for x86_64
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9710721/skodabe … pkg.tar.xz - for i686
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9710721/skodabe … pkg.tar.xz - any arch
and then follow the post_install instructions from grub2-bios package.
You might have to 'bind' mount /dev into your <chroot>/dev though or install the above packages and install grub2 from outside the chroot.

[SOLVED]Trouble installing tiling WM

Ok so iv read the wiki's iv read the board posts and iv googled but i still failed in installing wmii, openbox, and even gnome (i succeeded with xfce4). I thought i had enough skill to handle arch but it seems like i was dead wrong so really my question here today is where did you all accumulate your *nix skill? Iv been using Linux (ubuntu) for a good 2 years now, iv manuals about linux, and im comfortable with the cli but i dont think iv been reading the correct manuals because im not really understanding anything of whats going on when i was trying to configure everything to run properly. So if theres like some super-duper amazing website or book that helped you become "leet" with linux please just post it here. Also i really want to try out a tiling WM just because i love the concept of them and i like things to be small and quick (one of the reasons i left ubuntu) but i cant for the love of god install one correctly so maybe im missing a doc that i should be looking at or maybe i should just re-install arch and start from scratch and see if it was something with my install thats messing everything up for me. so to sum it all up: where can i get more *good* info about linux (arch to be specific) and/or tiling WM's and im sorry if i seem like a total noob (and i know i am) but im just trying to learn more and better myself

About the only advise I can give you is to try and understand what you're reading. Don't fall into the trap of "let's copy this whole hunk of script, if it seems to do what I want then yay!". If you can't even install Gnome on Arch successfully, there's 2 possibilities:-
1. You don't understand what you're doing.
2. Your computer/system reveals some corner case bugs.
1 can be fixed. 2 I'm afraid you'd have to live with (its less likely though if you've been using Ubuntu for 2 years...).
I understand what im reading and always try to actually understand what im typing into a terminal before running whatever command. Also im sorry for the crappy OP it was 1:30 AM and i was almost asleep. I think im just going to re-install Arch and see if that helps, i have a feeling i messed up a config file somewhere.

[SOLVED]Trouble installing xorg + gnome

I'm currently running a core installation of Arch on my virtual box. I have Internet connection and Pacman works. I've installed xorg but when I type startx it brings me to a weird DE thats just 3 terminals. I tried installing gnome but I got a bunch of errors. Then I tried again and I get errors like :: Retrieving packages from core...
error: failed retrieving file 'perl-.12.1-3-1686.pkg.tar.xz' from mirrorls.kernel.org : Connection timed out
etc...
Then it says
warning: failed to retrieve some files from core
error: failed to commit transaction (Not Found)
Errors occured, no packages were upgraded.
It's really weird(and annoying). Can anybody offer some help?

Weird. When I type startx is starts some type of DE. Don't know why .xinitrc wouldn't be there.
Once Xorg is installed you can test it by running startx the funny three windows you see is twm
If you wish to install Gnome then use Arch wiki to guide you, add a login manager of your choice
From the looks of your first post you need to make sure mirrors network and pacman are all set up too

I'm pretty sure mirrors are set up correctly. I commented out the first two(The mirrors.kernel.org). And pacman can get other packages like sudo correctly.

[SOLVED] Trouble installing Xmonad and Xmonad-contrib

I am new to Arch Linux. After using awesome for a month I decided to shift to xmonad.I installed xmonad and xmonad-contrib from official arch repositories by using
pacman -S xmonad xmonad-contrib
and then installed GHC. I was able to start session using
exec xmonad
in my ~/.xsession file. I copied the default xmonad.hs template to my home.
cp /usr/share/xmonad-0.11/man/xmonad.hs ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs
. However while recompiling I am getting this error -

@Raynman
My pacman.conf was really in a very bad shape at the time of installation of Xmonad. I think I must be careless to notice and removed dependency check.
When I compiled my xmonad.hs I found errors related to GHC. I was too surprised, however installed it further. Now since GHC was installed later, it missed some modules which were previously installed.
I tried reinstalling xmonad, xmonad-contrib before but there was no use. However recursively removing and installing, as suggested by you, seems to have fixed have problem. I am now getting following modules in GHC.

[SOLVED] Trouble installing glassfish

I have tried installing glassfish from the AUR but after it said it went all the way to 100%, it says:
/tmp/alpm_zDmJMR/.INSTALL: line 3:
error: el comando falló al ejecutarse
(that's spanish and means: "error: the command failed to execute")
I did the install via yaourt.
Well, I the went to netbeans to see if that error was going to affect me and tried to add glassfish server. I gave netbeans the glassfish path: /opt/glassfish and netbeans tells me:
run setup.xml or setup-cluster.xml before attempting to register
I'm new to glassfish. I've used it a couple of times but it always was embedded in netbeans. I did a google search for the previous errors and also for installing glassfish in arch but no luck this far.
Any help will be appreciated

You can post the error output in english firstly too
Does it work if you install it manually, aurbuild -s or with makepkg without yaourt ?

[solved] Trouble installing android SDK and eclipse plugin

Hi !
Owner of an HTC hero, I would like to develop some apps for it. However, I have problems to install the android eclipse plugin on my archs (a 32 and a 64 bits) while it is working fine on my roommate's ubuntu...
I'm following these instructions : http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html
At step 3, when I click OK in order to add the site, just nothing happens, the pop up stays displayed and I can still clic on the bottons, (but only "cancel" do something...) . I've tried to start eclipse from the console, but no output here
Why do you think this happens ?
I have also problem with the sdk tools :
when I try to view the available packages il get :
Failed to fetch URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repos … sitory.xml, reason: HTTPS SSL error. You might want to force download through HTTP in the settings.
(even if I ask to use HTTP insted of HTTPS)
Have you already got this problem?

[SOLVED] Trouble Installing Flash

I held off on posting anything about this because I was sure I missed something obvious, and I wanted to read everything before asking, but I have no idea how to get Flash to install.
I used pacman -S flashplugin to get the flash plugin from the [multilib] repository, and that worked fine, but Flash still didn't work.
Then I thought to myself, "Wait, I just installed the browser plugin, and not actually the Flash Player. Derp." (Right?) So then I tried to install the Flash plugin. Adobe's website is nigh incomprehensible but I found the Linux installer -- a .tar.gz, so I tried to install it with pacman -U. Then it told me that the package was corrupt and/or missing metadata. Redownloaded it a few times to make sure it wasn't a bum download or something.
I tried the plugin in both Firefox and Chromium, but if I can get it to work in just Chromium I'd be happy (I only installed Firefox to test it).
Last edited by PhoenixFyre (2011-08-16 21:55:09)

The problem (which I somehow managed to miss) was that when trying to install flashplugin, it told me that glibc was not up to date, but flashplugin installed anyway. Glibc couldn't update on its own because its dependency (linux-api-headers) was marked out of date just 6 days ago, without a new version being posted outside of [testing]. So I had to manually upgrade linux-api-headers, then upgrade glibc, then install flashplugin.
Just tested the flashplugin, and it works.

[SOLVED] Trouble installing with encrypted root system

I'm trying to install with an encrypted root filesystem following the wikiguide: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Enc … Filesystem

It was all my bad.. I somehow forgot to configure a mount for /boot.

[SOLVED] Trouble installing with ASUS P8B75-M (UEFI) motherboard

I recently built a computer, which has an ASUSTek P8B75-M motherboard, and I can't seem to get past "triggering uevents" on the USB installation disk. After reading up, I'm pretty sure it's a Secure Boot issue, but I can't seem to figure out how exactly I should get it to boot, since nothing I've tried seems to work.
As it is now, here is what I have set for my options:
Secure Boot State: Enabled
Platform Key (PK) state: Loaded
OS Type: Windows UEFI mode (setting it to Other OS doesn't seem to make a difference)
Under the CSM (Compatibility Support Module)
Launch CSM: Enabled
Boot Device Control: UEFI and Legacy OpROM, OpROM Only, UEFI only
Boot from Network Devices: Legacy OpROM first, UEFI driver first, Ignore
Boot from Storage Devices: Both; Legacy OPROM first, Both; UEFI first, Legacy OpROM first, UEFI driver first, Ignore
Boot from PCIe/PCI Expansion Devices: Legacy OpROM first, UEFI driver first
and of course I have Fast Boot Disabled
not sure if it will help, but I also have:
Interrupt 19 Capture: Disabled
POST Delay Time: 3 sec
Option ROM Messages: Force BIOS
Any ideas? I'd go with other threads, but this seems to be organized rather strangely.
also, I'm using Windows 7, not 8.
