[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.

Never mind, I got it working. Note to self, don't use dd for creating bootable USBs

[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
I've downloaded the latest 0.7.1 ISO with 2.6.15-12 kernel.
All I get when I try to intall a bootloader is
Missing/Invalid root partition
Errormsg taken from the top of my head
Any suggestions? Isn't the guide applicable on 0.7.1 / 2.6.15-2-kernel?

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

[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] Unbootable USB with both BIOS and UEFI setup

I'm installing Arch to a USB flash drive to be bootable across a wide-range of computers (like the Arch ISO for USB) - both with legacy BIOS and with UEFI support (32bit instead of 64bit for greatest compatibility). I've installed Arch successfully and everything with it works fine.
To get the flash drive to bootup on legacy BIOS systems, I've installed Grub. This went without a hitch and this boots up on every legacy BIOS machine I've tried.
However, I cannot for the life of me get UEFI working. I only have one UEFI-enabled machine to test on. I've tied settings up both Gummiboot and Grub for UEFI support and they both seem to get to the same place. I get their boot entries to show up in the UEFI's boot up menu, but it boots the UEFI installation already present on the system (another Arch installation). If I remove the UEFI entry for the Arch installation on the machine, it lists the flash drive in the boot-up menu but clicking on it tells me that there were no bootable mediums found. So I'm guessing there is a configuration error somewhere.
The Arch ISO disk boots up successfully over UEFI on the machine without a hitch. SafeBoot is disabled on the UEFI machine machine. The UEFI machine has a working UEFI Arch installation by Grub2 which works fine - I setup the flash drive pretty much the same was as detailed below but it doesn't work.
Here is my setup:
Disk /dev/sda: 57.9 GiB, 62176362496 bytes, 121438208 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 7AF2949B-01DA-4A5D-96B5-C716601BF56B

/dev/sda3 10489856 121438174 110948319 52.9G Linux filesystem
It is a GPT formatted flash drive, with an EFI partition, a BIOS Boot partition (for Grub) and finally a LUKS encrypted file system. (I have also tried the system without LUKS and I still get the same results as above).

I've tried copying both grub.efi to bootx64.efi and grubia32.efi to bootx64.efi. Both seem to be the same file.

I've tried both Gummiboot and Grub2 (not at the same time) alongside Grub for the legacy BIOS bootup. BIOS bootup works fine.

UEFI Configuration with GRUB2:

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
mkdir /boot/EFI/boot
cp /boot/EFI/grub/grubia32.efi /boot/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi
I have to copy grubia32.efi to bootx64.efi so my UEFI system detects the flash drive.
I have done all of these steps on a BIOS machine, and a UEFI machine, both with the same results. The machine recognizes the flash drive in the bootup menu and lists it as an option to boot from, but it tells me no bootable device was found. I don't care which method I need to use to get the flash drive to bootup over UEFI, gummiboot or Grub, I'm just trying to get it to work.

It sounds like you are on the right track. I got it to work using a similar method. Here is my setup: 16GB USB 2.0 Corsair Voyager.
gdisk -l /dev/sdb
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.0
Partition table scan:
MBR: protective
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: present

Logical sector size: 512 bytes

Partition table holds up to 128 entries
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 31950686
Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries
Total free space is 2014 sectors (1007.0 KiB)
Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name
1 2048 206847 100.0 MiB EF02 BIOS boot partition
2 206848 616447 200.0 MiB EF00 EFI System
3 616448 31950686 14.9 GiB 8300 Linux filesystem
As you can see, I made 3 partitions on a GPT labeled USB stick. You need to format the EF00 and 8300 partitions:
mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/sdb2
mke2fs -t ext4 -L isofiles /dev/sdb3
"isofiles" is the label I used for the ext4 partition. You can change this. Now install Grub for EFI on the ESP partition:
mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt
mkdir -p /mnt/boot
grub-install --target x86_64-efi --efi-directory /mnt --boot-directory /mnt/boot --removable
Place your grub.cfg file in /mnt/EFI/BOOT.
Install GRUB for legacy BIOS on the bios_boot partition:
umount /mnt
mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt
mkdir -p /mnt/boot
grub-install --no-floppy --target i386-pc --boot-directory /mnt/boot /dev/sdb
Place your grub.cfg file in /mnt/boot/grub. On some systems, it is /mnt/boot/grub2.
Copy all of your ISO files, e.g., arch, gparted, clonzilla, etc, to the ext4 partition. you will need the UUID of the ext4 partition:
blkid /dev/sdb3
This is because we are using a UUID search method to find the ISO's before loop mounting them. You can obtain the grub menu entries for various distros here. I used the following grub.cfg to boot arch and gparted in EFI mode:
set default="0"
function load_video {
insmod efi_gop
insmod efi_uga
insmod video_bochs
insmod video_fb
insmod video_cirrus
insmod all_video
load_video
set gfxpayload=keep
insmod gzio
insmod part_gpt
insmod ext2
set timeout=10
submenu 'GParted -->' {
set default="1"
set isofile='/gparted-live-0.22.0-1-amd64.iso'
menuentry 'GParted -- default settings' --class gparted --class gnu-linux --class os {
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root THIS_IS_YOUR_UUID
loopback loop $isofile
set root=loop
linuxefi /live/vmlinuz boot=live username=user config components quiet noswap noeject ip= nosplash findiso=$isofile
initrdefi /live/initrd.img
submenu 'Arch Linux -->' {
menuentry 'Install Arch Linux' --class arch --class gnu-linux --class os {
set isofile='/archlinux-2015.04.01-dual.iso'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root YOUR_UUID
loopback loop $isofile
set root=loop
linuxefi /arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz archisolabel=ARCH_201504 img_label=isofiles img_loop=$isofile earlymodules=loop
initrdefi /arch/boot/x86_64/archiso.img
The legacy grub.cfg file is identical to the above, except that you use "linux" and "initrd" instead of "linuxefi" and "intrdefi". Note that unfortunately you have to use two grub.cfg file, one for UEFI and the other for legacy placed in the locations described above. However, they are very similar.
When you boot the machine, if it is an ASUS board, let's assume, press F8 during POST. You should see "Corsair - UEFI" and "Corsair". They should both work. Good Luck.

[solved] cannot install pacstrap /mnt base to UEFI without internet

Hello everybody.
Today I decided to install ArchLinux because of some problems on my Linux Mint System.
On my laptop Lenovo yoga 13 while using Mint I installed Wi-Fi drivers after installation. It is not working out of the box.
There is no Ethernet port on this laptop.
In Begginer's Guide I have read that internet may be set up later. Ok, I skipped it and do next steps as in manual.
When I go to step of installing base system the following happens
# pacstrap /mnt base base-devel
Error strings are running: could not get file ... from ... Could not resolve host ...
And at the end:
Cannot synchronize any database
Cannot start request (error in boot library)
Error ==> Failed to install pakages to new root
I stopped here. Why it tries to connect to internet?
P.S. I am installing from fresh iso from 2014.05.01 via LiveUSB.
Please tell me what should I do?

[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 -

Any Idea why pacman is unable to resolve the dependency. Are they availiable in AUR?
PS: I have just updated by installation and I am not using AUR right now.

@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] No sound with Asus Xonar DGX

I've got no sound so I've looked into journalctl and there were some bluez and pulseaudio related erros. So i.a.w. this topic https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=155714 I did `systemctl enable bluetooth.service`. No more errors but still no sound.
Other things I did:
- unplug/plug headphones
- check whether anything is muted in alsamixer and the gnome sound applet (note: nothing is greyed-out, microphone picks up signals)
snd_oxygen i.e. ASUS XONAR is the sound card I would like to use and I hook my headphones to.

[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?
Thanks,
Fredszaq (from France, escuse english mistakes...)

the major tip was to resize the windows when notings seems to happen ant to "clik" on the buttons with the enter key ...

[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 qt3

When I try to install qt3 with Pacman, i get the error:
error: failed retrieving file 'qt3-3.3.8-19-i686.pkg.tar.xz' from ftp.archlinux.org : File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
I get this for every mirror I try. That "xz" extension looks a little funny to me. Any ideas?

I'm happy enough with the CLI pacman, I just thought shaman looked kinda cool and worth a try. I downloaded the archive from http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15422 and extracted it.

[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

Actually my reading of things is the OP knows how to search and read.
And that's about it?
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 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
Last edited by ztrange (2009-09-13 03:15:51)

Hello ztrange!
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 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.
Last edited by frank604 (2011-05-02 03:55:54)

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] Arch install on Virtualbox - Host is UEFI

New here and I have a question already lol
I've done some digging and looking around but I haven't found a definitive answer. If I am setting arch up on virtualbox, on my computer, which has an UEFI board do I need to set arch up as uefi or will it just think that it's running on a BIOS machine?

That all depends on the settings you give your VM, you can make it virtualize either a BIOS or a UEFI machine irrelevant of the host firmware.

I'm not sure if UEFI is still considered experimental or how well it works, as I always just use BIOS mode.
