[SOLVED] UEFI Variables outside chroot environment, not inside?

I am installing Arch onto a UEFI system that has had Arch on before; previously it was installed on a seperate disk from Windows and selecting in the UEFI boot sequence which hard drive I wanted to boot from each time. This time I am setting it up on the same hard drive as Windows 8.1 to enable dual-boot.
I have disabled fast boot and secure boot in the UEFI configuration screen.
I am booting from the latest Arch ISO on cd and have all UEFI variables listed outside of the chroot environment.
after
# arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash
# efivar -l
I get
bash: efivar: command not found
Inside the chroot environment I then
# modprobe efivarfs
efivar -l
bash: efivar: command not found
# mount -t efivarfs efivarfs /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
mount: efivarfs is already mounted or /sys/firmware/efi/efivars busy
efivarfs is already mounted on /sys/firmware/efi/efivarfs
I have seen two other posts in the forums with this issue yet their solutions do not work in this instance.
I attempted to to finish the install off previously even though the uefi variables weren't loaded properly inside the chroot and it didn't boot (using rEFInd, I have previously tried Gummiboot and Grub, no dice). I know enough to get into trouble but not enough to fix it...any ideas.

That fixed it; IIRC it's not mentioned in the Wiki that that might be the case. It does say to "Make sure efivars is mounted" prior to installing the bootloader; mine was but I couldn't list the variables or sucessfully install until I installed efivar inside the chroot.

Have you tried just using efibootmgr?
Try
# pacman -S efivar
inside the chroot environment, then efivar -l (although I think this may be included in the base package when using pacstrap).
If you have /sys/firmware/efi on the system then it is already in EFI mode...

  • Has anyone ever had a problem with your iphone working outside your home but not inside. The internet works fine in and outside of the house

    Has anyone had problems with your iphone working outside of the house, but not inside? Cannot make or receive calls, nor can I send or receive any text messages. This is something that just happened out of nowhere. Can I get some help please?

    Did you used to have service and now suddenly you don't?
    This happened to me a few years back, and several other iPhone users in my neighborhood, and after a while on the phone with AT&T they figured out that a technician had recently adjusted the receiver/sender on the tower and it was slightly off. They sent them back up and I actually had a better signal after than I did before it went out.
    I would call AT&T and explain the issue you are having and see if they can fix it.
    If you never had service there then like wjosten said it's probably just a bad zone.
    Hope you get it sussed out.

  • [SOLVED] Problems with setting up 32-bit chroot environment

    Recently I've moved to Arch64 and decided to build chroot environment in order to have a working flashplugin, Java and some other applications without messing up system libraries of two different architectures. I've followed directly instrucions from the wiki, but unfortunately still can't make it work. I'm stuck with
    Kod:
    bash-3.2# /etc/rc.d/arch32 start
    :: Starting Arch32 chroot [DONE]
    bash-3.2# xhost +local:
    No protocol specified
    xhost: unable to open display ":0.0"
    bash-3.2# chroot /opt/arch32
    I've googled a lot, asked on Polish Arch Linux forum, but so far I wasn't able to find a working solution. Can someone more experienced give me a hand with this?

    xhost +local:
    chroot /opt/arch32 su -l username -c "linux32 zsh"
    Is it similar to your setup?

  • Is my 32bit chroot environment setup wrong?

    Hi,
    I had a post on beecrypt but think my issue is deeper than just that. Please see that POST for background, though. While attempting to build, I'm getting all kinds of errors:
    - Python lib and include directories not being found (solution to that was in the post linked above)
    - All kinds of errors for various checks in the configure script like this:
    checking stdio.h usability... no
    checking stdio.h presence... yes
    configure: WARNING: stdio.h: present but cannot be compiled
    configure: WARNING: stdio.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
    configure: WARNING: stdio.h: see the Autoconf documentation
    configure: WARNING: stdio.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
    configure: WARNING: stdio.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
    configure: WARNING: stdio.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence
    configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------- ##
    configure: WARNING: ## Report this to [email protected] ##
    configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------- ##
    - inability to identify all kinds of integer definitions (long long, long unsigned, etc.), like so:
    checking for size_t... no
    checking for int8_t... no
    checking size of signed char... 0
    checking for int16_t... no
    checking size of short... 0
    checking for int32_t... no
    checking size of int... 0
    checking for int64_t... no
    checking size of long... 0
    In any case, I think this is some sort of chroot environment issue. I have installed the chroot per the WIKI as well as base and base-devel. Typical queries like "which gcc" or "which python" or "gcc/python -- version" work fine.
    Something still seems fishy. I closed out the beecrypt topic as I think there's something funnier going on here. I believe I linked all the correct files from the 64bit environment, as shown here (some deleted):

    My main concern is that configure works just fine from my 64bit environment. No errors when checking all the C files, the int definitions/lengths populate fine, python directories are found just fine. I have had a chroot running fine before, but had an issue with Lotus Notes and couldn't remove it with rpm so I just decided to start over. Now I can't get it working again...
    Any input would be greatly appreciated. I'm happy to submit other output for the post as well. I'm not sure what else might be helpful.

  • How to force Tiger to print doc within Classic environment, not with OSX?

    I want to print certain documents using OS9's printing utility within the Classic environment, and NOT using Tiger's standard OSX printing method. How?
    I know it is possible because I have two Macs connected to the same printer, and it works on one and not the other. I can't figure out why.
    Here are the specifics:
    I have a printer, the Ricoh Laser AP2600. Connected to it are two computers:
    a PowerBook G4 running 10.4.7, and
    an iMac running 10.3.9.
    When I print documents from OSX applications, the two computers take the exact same time to print. HOWEVER, when I print from Classic applications, the iMac running 10.3.9 prints very quickly, but the PB running 10.4.7 takes two to three times as long. That's because the iMac prints the document using the old OS9 "Print Monitor" printing utility, and never passes the printing back to Tiger. Whenever I try to print a document from a Classic application on the PB, however, it passes the printing to the standard OSX printing method, which (for some reason) is much slower.
    (Sorry if I'm not using the right terminology.)
    I checked and double-checked, and as far as I can tell, all the "printer descriptions" and "drivers" and everything else is absolutely identical in both System 9 "Extension" folders on both computers. I installed the exact same Ricoh print-driver packages for OSX and Classic on both machines identically. So -- why does one print quickly within Classic, and the other pass the printing job back to slow OSX?
    The specific application that causes this discrepancy is MSWord 5.1a, a very old version that only works under Classic. (I use it a lot because I prefer it to more recent versions of MSWord.)
    A secondary, but related, question: Why does printing documents from within the Classic environment go so much more quickly than in OSX? It seems to be one of the few aspects of OSX that's worse than OS9.
    So -- how can I make my PB behave like my iMac? Is there some difference between 10.3.9 and 10.4.7 that causes this different behavior? Any hints or suggestions would be most appreciated.
    Thanks.

    OK, I have finally solved the problem -- mostly.
    The trick was to click on the Chooser option called "PSPrinter" -- not LaserWriter 8 or any of the others. I took a chance on that since I knew that the Ricoh 2600 was a PostScript printer. When I clicked on it, and chose "Set up printer," I was able to set up the Ricoh driver. Then, when I tried printing, it worked -- it printed within the Classic environment, not in Tiger. And what a difference!! Under Tiger, a simple page of text takes 45 seconds to process and print. Under Classic, the exact same page processes and prints in 8 seconds! A huge difference. So, I finally got it to work.
    The downside is that I can't get it to "stick." If I restart Classic (or the entire computer), the next time I go back to print in MSWord 5.1a (my Classic application), it will have reverted back to the Tiger method of printing. So, the first time I print a page in 5.1a during any session, I have to go to Chooser and select PSPrinter. This adds 15 seconds or so to the process, so printing a single page overall isn't any faster, if you add up all the steps. Subsequent prints all are done quickly in Classic automatically, as long as Classic hasn't restarted. (I can even quit the application and restart it without a problem -- only an OS restart causes it to revert back to Tiger printing.)
    So, my basic problem is solved, and I'm fairly satisfied. But I still have two nagging issues that I wouldn't mind answered if anybody knows the answers:
    How can I make my Chooser printer selection in Classic "stick" permanently from one restart to the next? Why does it revert to Tiger printing after a restart?
    And the fundamental question: why is Classic printing so much faster than Tiger printing? I thought Tiger was supposed to be a "digital hub" that made communicating with peripherals so easy? In most ways it is, but why is printing the one way in which OSX is WORSE than OS9, at least in regards to speed?

    Here is a post I recently assembled for another similar question:
    With the newer Intel Macs, you have to run a Classic emulator such as SheepShaver, which requires you to extract the Mac ROMs from your older Classic Mac and then install Mac OS 9.
    A related program is Chubby Bunny, which comes bundled with all of that included (google the term "Classic-On-Intel v 4.0.1 chubby bunny").

  • Need to resume task sequence after unplanned reboot - Error Task Sequence environment not found

    The task sequence in SCCM 2012 R2 is being used to deploy a Hyper-V host on Windows Server 2012 R2.
    When installing the Hyper-V role, we have a intermittent issue where after the restart, the TRUSTEDINSTALLER installs a kernel driver (vmswitch.sys) and then restarts the system while the SCCM engine is waiting for the SCCM client to initialize.
    This breaks the TSE and it throws the error "Task Sequence Environment not found" a few minutes later.
    Does anyone know of any way to RESUME the task sequence, or to set the TSEnv.dat back to a clean state that will allow it to resume the TS? I am thinking about configuring an AutoLogon/Logon script that will check try and recover & resume these failures.
    ALTERNATELY, does anyone know how to prevent the Trusted Installer from rebooting on Windows Server 2012 R2?

    Use sc command to put Windows Module Installer to disabled in your script after Enabling Hyper-v Role. When the system completely restarts, change it to Manual or Automatic.
    Note: I have not tested it, it is just my thought, if it does not work or something unexpected happens, it means your issue cannot be fixed this way.

  • [Solved] UEFI + Partitioning + Bootloader = Hell

    I've installed arch twice before this one, those were like a lovely stroll in the park compared to this Clockwork Orangesque torture i've been putting myself through. This time it's different because I have a system with UEFI firmware and I cannot for the life of me sort out this beginners guide to get this thing up and running.
    As stated in the guide I verified through
    efivar -l
    that I am infact booted up through UEFI Mode.
    It later goes on to recommend that I used GPT for my setup for UEFI booting.
    It is recommended to always use GPT for UEFI boot, as some UEFI firmwares do not allow UEFI-MBR boot.
    So I follow the instructions for creating GPT Partitions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/beginners'_guide#Using_cgdisk_to_create_GPT_partitions
    Which tells me to create just two partitions: Root and Home
    Later on in that same page however: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/beginners'_guide#Create_filesystems
    It tells me that I need to:
    For UEFI, you should format the EFI System Partition (for example /dev/sdXY) with:
    # mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sdXY
    With very little to elaborate on this earlier in the page. Although it does mention that:
    If you have a UEFI motherboard, you will need to create an extra EFI System Partition.
    But it gives no indication how large this partition needs to be.
    I then find this:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … _Partition
    The EFI System Partition (also called ESP or EFISYS) is a FAT32 formatted physical partition (in the main partition table of the disk, not LVM or software raid etc.) from where the UEFI firmware launches the UEFI bootloader and application. It is a OS independent partition that acts as the storage place for the EFI bootloaders and applications which the firmware launches them. It is mandatory for UEFI boot. It should be marked as EF00 or ef00 type code in gdisk, or boot flag in case of GNU Parted (only for GPT disk). It is recommended to keep ESP size at 512 MiB although smaller/larger sizes are fine (smaller sizes provided it is higher than the minimum FAT32 FS partition size limit (as mandated by FAT32 specification from Microsoft).
    (BTW, who uses mebibytes instead of megabytes?)
    So... yeah... this was mostly a rant of sadness, after I get this thing up and running (After like 3 hours of beating my head against a wall and like 4 hours trying to get this to work) I really need to fix that friggan wiki... so that the next poor bastard that comes through, doesn't have to endure this PTSD enducing psychological torture...
    My major issue was that I was not creating an EFI Partition for the GPT. Without which the bootloader (Gummiboot) is unable to communicate with the UEFI Firmware.
    =============================================================================================
    Solution - My two major mistakes were failing to create an EFI partition and using syslinux instead of gummiboot
    =============================================================================================
    1. Verify that your system is booting in UEFI Mode
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … _UEFI_mode
    efivar -l
    If you are in UEFI Mode, your system will output a list of UEFI Variables properly, if you are not, you will receive an error.
    Continue on with the beginners guide as usual until you reach the "Using cgdisk to create GPT" portion
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … partitions
    2. Create partions with cgboot (This was a crux for me, I didn't include the EFI Partition)
    cgdisk /dev/sda
    Choose New (or press N) – Enter for the first sector (2048) – type in 15G – Enter for the default hex code (8300) – Enter for a blank partition name.
    Press the down arrow a couple of times to move to the larger free space area.
    Choose New (or press N) – Enter for the first sector (2048) – type in 512M – Enter for the hex code for and EFI partition (ef00) – Enter for a blank partition name.
    Choose New (or press N) – Enter for the first sector – Enter to use the rest of the drive (or you could type in the desired size; for example 30G) – Enter for the default hex code (8300) – Enter for a blank partition name.
    here's how it will look
    Part. # Size Partition Type Partition Name
    1007.0 KiB free space
    1 15.0 GiB Linux filesystem
    2 512 MiB EFI Filesystem
    3 123.45 GiB Linux filesystem
    Now continue on with the Beginners guide until you reach the boot loader partition, I used Gummiboot successfully by following the simple instructions:

    1. Exactly, You're an arrogant, condescending snob that's been doing this for quite some time. Congrats, you can put together a linux box... well I would certainly hope so, you've been doing it for over 15 years now. But don't forget there was a point that even you had to overcome the learning curve and just because it's simple and clear to you, doesn't mean there aren't people out here that don't have 16 years of linux centric "common sense" behind them. Your current level of expertise is a cumulative evolution of 16 years of study and exposure and that is something you should take pride in, but being an arrogant twit about it just makes you look like a douche and it epitomizes exactly what gives the linux community a bad rap.
    2. This Arch Wiki is (compared to most) massive, it's not streamlined, it has several passages that may or may not be used depending on the person, their equipment, preferences etc etc...  So forgive me if I didn't read the parts telling me to configure my keymap to a language I don't need to configure it too. It also links to other pages without giving full elaboration on why. It eventually leads you through several rabbit holes and isn't clear by any means to someone who doesn't do this on the regular.
    3. I get that Arch isn't a COTS windows solution... it does have a level of difficulty that must be overcome, and it does require research, (which I am totally all about doing, and if you'd read my post, you would see that I never asked directly for an answer, instead I was trying to offer solutions to make the wiki itself better, because there was something omitted within an example) but there is also a great community behind it, that does (or so I thought) work hard to help its user base through forums and documentation. But your previous post, was completely nonconstructive, and served no purpose other than to stroke your own overblown ego.

  • "No text target or text model" when accessing notes inside table cells.

    I'm using the InDesign Automation Objects through Delphi to scan all the notes inside a document and that works fine as long as the notes aren't inside tables.
    For those notes inside tables as soon as I try to get the instance for a note I get the error "No text target or text model". Tried several ways of scanning the document to get to the notes but it doesn't make a difference.
    Here's my code:
        for I := 1 to FDoc.Stories.Count do
          for J := 1 to FDoc.Stories.Item[I].Tables.Count do
            for K := 1 to FDoc.Stories.Item[I].Tables.Item[J].Notes.Count do
              Note := FDoc.Stories.Item[I].Tables.Item[J].Notes.Item[K];
    The last line throws the error.
    This seems like an InDesign bug, or is there maybe something wrong with the document or a different way to get the note content?
    Thanks.

    It's a table heading (th) and most browsers (all?) turns such

  • Bin32-wine vs 32-bit chroot environment

    I run Arch x86_64 with bin32-wine for all of my windows applications, however I was wondering if there are any advantages (compatibility, speed, etc.) to running a 32-bit chroot environment for all of my 32 bit apps (which would only be wine). 
    Currently I only use wine for Office 2007, however I would like to run Deus Ex and Starcraft (maybe others in the future), and I'm currently unable to get Starcraft running.  Deus Ex runs in windowed mode with safe mode on, but very poorly.
    System specs:
    ASUS UL30A U7300 dual core 1.3 GHz
    4 GB DDR3
    Intel GMA4500 MHD graphics
    Any thoughts on this?  Thanks in advance

    I see.......thank you for the response.  I wondered if I had to compile for the chroot or simply use pacman -Syu.  That is indeed a large advantage. 
    I went ahead and completely wiped bin32-wine, all of the dot files, and reinstalled Office 2007, Starcraft, and Deus Ex.  That fixed a bug in Office (files with space in file path not opening correctly from dolphin/konqueror/etc).
    I also discovered that one of my problems with my games was that I somehow missed a few packages related to opengl.  I stll wasn't able to get Deus Ex working just yet.....
    I may go ahead and do the chroot, as that seems like an easier way of doing things after the initial setup. 
    If anyone has anymore input I would be grateful to hear it.

  • Debugger: File not inside project

    Hello,
    I compile from FlexBuilder 2 using eclipse and ant task.
    The goal is to compile on different servers with debug
    support.
    I added the debug="true" option to my ant tasks and
    everything compiles correctly and runs on the different servers.
    However for some reason when the a breakpoint is reached it gives a
    warning saying that the file is not inside a project and that
    debugger will have limited functionality.
    I dont understand as I clearly set the the source path used
    by mxmlc to the path of my project. Besides, the path to the
    debugged file is the same as the file in my project...
    Has anyone ever seen this problem ?

    I see the same thing with an ActionScript class inside of the
    Flex Debugging. Event though the folder is under the application,
    it does not want to debug within the ActionScript Class

  • When should I use static variable and when should not? Java essential

    When should I use static variable and when should not? Java essential

    Static => same value for all instances of the class.
    Non-static => each instance can have its own value.
    Which you need in which circumstances is completely up to you.

    I am writing a book and need to have the margins alternating left and right pages, so that there is sufficient margin for the binding. I have tried different inside and outside margins, the same inside and outside margins, facing pages, changing the master, and I cannot get the margins to alternate at print time. The larger margin is always on the left. Can anyone please help me on this, as I have spent hours and lots of ink.
