[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?

As for the Gnome thing, try again ( pacman -Sy gnome )

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
MrG
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] New Install of Gnome 3.2 doesn't feel like loading

Greetings,
Before making this post, I have spent the majority of the day trying to solve this issue. I have switched from nvidia drivers to nouvela (sp?) drivers, incase that was the issue. I have scoured google, arch-wiki, and the forums until my eyes have bled. I have dug through the xsession-errors log to search out any missing components that might be causing this... but to no avail. If anything, trying to run and try Gnome 3.2 has made me feel like a complete idiot, who has obviously learnt nothing after years of using linux. So, I come here hoping that some one can point me to the solution my brain cannot itself come up with.
Here the situation:
I have been running KDE4 for quite some time happily. I have ran Gnome 3 back in its beginning days succesfully as well, but that was an older, now dead, pc. Having seen some neat little things about the new Gnome 3.2, I got an itch to give it a try. So, I go and follow the Gnome article on the excellent arch wiki- installing both gnome and gnome extras, letting it grab everything, change from kdm to gdm, and reboot.
Well, it gives me the old gdm I remember from the early gnome 3 days (wasn't this changed) despite it showing that it is GDM 3.2 via pacman. It shows my user name, lets me put my password, and shows the stripped background. One thing to note is that the cursor remains a clock face, never changing to a pointer.
I log in, choosing GNOME, all that remains is the wallpaper, with the clockface cursor, no pointer. I go take the kids to the bus stop, come back apx. 20 min. later, no change.
Ok, bug crushing time right? So I go through the steps. I make sure that gnome shell is indeed installed. I remove any config files (there weren't any), remove gnome shell, reinstall. No go. I rinse and repeat, but removing & reinstalling different things, such as GDM, and even gnome completely. No go.
Hopping into pekwm, I search. I make copies of the xsession-errors each time, and load them in pekwm after a reboot, looking through with pacman by myside to make sure I have any possible missing files. And finally after failure after failure I give up, and come here.
So, here's my xsession-errors log. Please, if anyone can help, or even offer any kind of suggestion that might spark something in my brain to get me going in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it. If this thread needs moved, merged, etc, please do so... I've searched the forums, but now my brain is numb, so yeah...

Ok, I guess all it took was for me to post this to wake up and be able to solve the issue.
It is simple really. I just needed to re-install libltdl.
So, for those searching, if you get this similar problem,
pacman -S libltdl
is what solved it for me.

[SOLVED] Trouble Building Xorg-Server 1.6.1-1 (Modified PKGBUILD)

ever since the release of xorg-server 1.5.3, i've been using a modified
PKGBUILD to build xorg-server sans hal and dbus. (not gonna try
justifying it again; that'd just lead to yet another flame war.)
i've never had a problem until the 1.6.1-1 PKGBUILD, which adds the lines:
libtoolize --force || return 1
aclocal || return 1
autoconf || return 1
automake --add-missing || return 1
after applying patches and before running the configure. these added lines produce:
libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'.
libtoolize: linking file `./ltmain.sh'
libtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.ac and
libtoolize: rerunning libtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros
in-tree.
libtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am.

my modified PKGBUILD is build. please note that i *have* tried
reverting my changes (the commented patches), to no avail.
as i'm pretty clueless vis-a-vis makefiles and the autoconf system,
could somehow point me in the direction of a fix?
many thanks,

Not any help to your error but have you tried the one in aur with disabled dbus and hal?
I've been using it for a week or so with no problems and it built fine.

Trouble installing Xorg

Hello,
I just installed Archlinux and did the 'pacman -Syy' and 'pacman -Syu' and now trying to install xorg. I ran the 'pacman -S xorg' to install and it tells me to install another whole group of packages, which I accept but then I run into problems with this package:
error: failed retrieving file 'fontcacheproto-0.3.1-1-any.pkg.tar.gz'
Blocking me from the install of xorg... Another thing I'm totally new to Arch!!
Thank you!!

sylvainrb wrote:I tried different mirrors but none of them have the package...
and you always did pacman -Syyu after that? Can you install anything?
The versionnumber 3.1-1 seems to be incorrect. It should be 1.3-1... Have you copied it or rewrote?
But if I understand correctly, atcp some packages are available only at certain time?? btw, even archlinux.org server didn't have the package...
Sometimes, server are not up. (or too old.)
Packages are always available if the server is up (and the repo includes the specific package.)

[SOLVED] Trouble starting Xorg on Macbook Pro 7,1

I'm trying to set up Xorg on my 13" Macbook Pro 7,1. Every time I run startx, I get a blank screen and have to do a hard reset. This is on a brand new install. I've installed the wireless drivers, connected to the network, upgraded any packages needing it (pacman -Syuu), installed vim and yaourt, and created a non-privileged user. I did not upgrade kernel26 or kernel26-headers because they fail to boot (I think I need the physical mode patch).
Here's what I've done so far:
pacman -S xorg-server xorg-utils xorg-xinit xorg-twm xterm
pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils
(reboot)
nvidia-xconfig
pacman -S acpid hal
/etc/rc.d/hal start
(log in as non-privileged user)
startx
The screen goes black, and then nothing happens. I've tried it both with and without acpid and hal.
Here is my xorg.conf:

The NVIDIA page in the Arch Wiki says to comment out any occurrences of dri (and I assume dri2 as well) in xorg.conf. As you can see, they are not in xorg.conf, but they are still being loaded. I'm not sure where they are coming from. I haven't messed with anything in xord.conf.d (though the 20-nvidia.conf file showed up). I don't see any references to dri there, either.
I've also tried nvidia-beta and nvidia-utils-beta, but the same thing happens.
Does anyone know what the problem is?

On a typical setup, Ctrl+Alt+F7--or really, Alt-F7--switches to Display 0, where X will attach if you're using startx.
Probably, Display 0 is on screen after startx, and you're just not getting anything. As long as your keyboard is binding correctly, you should be able to hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get back to the first terminal, assuming that is from where you started X.
Otherwise, yes, make sure dbus is installed and started.
rc.d dbus start
Or, is it--
rc.d start dbus
I've been using systemd for a while now. Can't remember.
Also make sure dbus is in your daemons array in /etc/rc.conf.

[SOLVED] new install Xorg not starting

I am running a vm install of arch and I cannot get startx to work. I went through the wiki section "Xorg as a systemd user service" and tried what it suggested and still it would not work. Below is my log file. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

[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...)

I added this line after my screen always went black during installation. Somebody mentioned that, and i added it without really knowing what this does. I forgot comletely about this.
Thank you so much, everything is working now!

[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

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 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 -
xmonad.hs:14:18:
Could not find module `XMonad.StackSet'
Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
So I checked the modules in my ghc

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] 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] 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?

[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.
