[SOLVED] unable to reach graphical.target

Hey Archers,
my issue begins with me trying to patch vmware for 3.6.3-1-arch
I tried using vmware & this told me the modules were not present for 3.6.3 so I went to grab latest from AUR (vmware-patch), the comments on there suggested that the ones for 3.5.x still worked but needed to be rebuilt.
so I read these instructions:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VM … stallation
I noticed that in the finishing up section it gave a warning that if I update the kernel need too issue the following:
vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
so I ran this & tried to run vmplayer
this opened but crashed as soon as i tried to play a VM, I then decided that as I had not used it for some time I would just remove it:
vmware-installer --uninstall-product vmware-player
this finished & so I ran:
pacman -R vmware-patch
all was ok (so I thought) a while later I had to reboot to do something in my win7 install (non volatile) upon completing I rebooted back to arch & now my install refuses to boot & I see:
Failed to start load Kernel Modules [FAILED] see 'systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service' for details
obviously systemd fall's over & offers to enter password or control-D to continue
well the system refuses to go any further & locks up totally (no flashing kbd lights like a panic though!)
the exact same happens when I boot the fallback kernel
I can chroot into it using the old media (CORE 2011.08.19) which is the most recent I have, whilst chrooted in I thought perhaps the old vmware modules did not get removed correctly so I blacklisted them in:
/etc/modprobe.d/vmware.conf
blacklist vmmon
I have managed to get into the system using the following boot parameter:
systemd.unit=rescue.target
I then ran:
systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service
this provided the default message about the service not starting but no reason why or what caused it to fail
So any advice or way forward would be appreciated as I am totally lost & have googled everything I can think of which may help but this is the first time I have b0rk3d the modules & am lost as to what to do .
heeeelp

cheers for the response WonderWoofy usb is now working (removed a bunch of devices i don't use constantly)
i have been all over the FS & can no longer find conf files for vmware.
I really have no clue as to what is stopping my eth0 from starting & now i find that because this is not up xorg no longer wants to either as it cant find a screen due to no network (i thought this would use lo!)
cheers for the -Rns tip for package purge
Still we live & learn
EDIT1:
sorry i cannot paste actual log output as i cannot get the info off except for read it & type here!
seems like udev is not finding my nic
systemctl status network.service:
failed
process 450
journalctl _PID=450
Nov 01 19:45:13 b0x ip[450]: cannot find device "eth0"
lspci -v | grep Ethernet
03:00:00 Ethernet controller: Realtek [...] RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit[...] rev(02)
modprobe 8139too && lsmod | grep 8139too
so i cannot even insert the module, is this the correct one?
I am soooo confused as to why removing vmplayer has caused all this
any advice greatly accepted

  • [SOLVED]Unable to run Graphical applications as root/sudo

    Ok so ive been working on getting my very first Arch install up and running and I need to get the catalyst drivers running for my HD6850 because I plan on doing some wine gaming.
    So I followed the instructions here on the wiki for ATI catalyst and I now have the drivers up and running, tried glxgears and everything is fine. The issue I am having Is that when I go under the settings menu in KDE I have the "AMD Catalyst control center" there, however I do not have the (Administrative) option that I get with all other distros. I need to run the CCC as root to beable to configure my multiple monitors.
    In a terminal when i enter;
    sudo amdcccle
    It returns with the following;
    No protocol specified
    amdcccle: cannot connect to X server :0
    So after a little digging I found this thread on the ubuntu forums that was quite helpful;
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=307984
    So I ran
    DISPLAY=:0.0 xhost +
    then tried again to run
    sudo amdcccle
    and like magic it worked and I was able to configure my displays.
    However this is not a permanent fix. Can anyone see a more permanent solution to this issue? This affects more than just the Catalyst Control Center; It stops me from running any graphical application as root or with sudo. Also can anyone explain what is causing the issue?
    I have searched to the best of my ability and as you can see I have for the most part fixed the issue, however I cannot seem to find a permanent fix, nor do I really know what caused the issue to begin with.

    SOLVED
    I took your advice about installking something like gksudo, and rememberd that on my kubuntu install I had something called kdesu. So Since im running KDE and not Gnome, I did some searching and found out how to install kdesudo using the AUR.
    Just followed the install guide here for Yaourt ---> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Yaourt
    Once I did that i just ran
    yaourt kdesudo
    selcted #1 and installed.
    Now when I need to run a GUI based app as root I type in
    kdesu <NAME OF APP>
    So to solve my original issue I just run
    kdesu amdcccle
    instead of
    sudo amdcccle
    This seems to work for any app that needs to be ran a root with a GUI.
    Also if your like me and you want to beable to just open CCC from your kickoff menu then do the following;
    1. Right click kickoff > edit applications
    2. Go to "Settings" > ATI Catalyst Control Center
    3. In the Command Field add "kdesu" without quotes to the begining of the line so it looks like this
    kdesu amdcccle
    4. Save

  • [SOLVED] stuck at Target Reached Graphical Interface @ Nvidia/Nouveau

    i'm kind of new to linux and specifically to arch, so pls be gentle. i just did a fresh install, all went fine, but here's one thing i'm unable to sort out. i've been having a hard time for a couple of hours now getting the right driver and the necessary configurations for my nvidia card. i went through a number of threads, none provided too much help, so here it is. whenever i try to use the proprietary nvidia drivers, the boot process gets stuck at the
    Target Reached Graphical User Interface
    message. i decided to try nouveau then, so i remove the nvidia packages, delete xorg.conf, install the nouveau packages, create 20-nouveau.conf with the content of
    Section "Device"
            Identifier "Default nvidia Device"
            Driver "nouveau"
    EndSection
    reboot, but it results in the same phenomenon. from this point on i have to delete 20-nouveau.conf to even get to the login screen. there's no nomodeset in the kernel options by the way.
    only the open source vesa drivers seem to work so far. i'm clueless about this one.
    (i'm using external monitor @ DVI for my notebook.)

    ok, if someone reads this, here's what i figured: realised that i didn't need neither xorg.conf, nor 20-nouveau.conf in the first place in order either driver to be utilized by bumbleebee. if you did nvidia-xconfig or manually created xorg.conf and/or 20-nouveau.conf and encountered the same issue described above as a result, just remove it/them. one trivia about bumblebee - maximum gpu performance gained by the primus render bridge.

  • [SOLVED] Accidentally deleted graphical.target. Any way to resto..

    Hello all. So here's the story: I was trying to get SLiM to run via `systemd` and was following the instructions detailed here:
    # systemctl enable kdm.service
    This should work out of the box. If not ....
    /etc/systemd/system/default.target -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/graphical.target
    Simply delete the symlink and systemd will use its stock `default.target` (i.e.`graphical.target`).
    # rm /etc/systemd/system/default.target
    By some strange form of dyslexia, instead of writing the code on the last step, I had written
    # rm /usr/lib/systemd/system/graphical.target
    Of course, without this file, I'm now unable to boot succesfully. I'm also quite sure that it's impossible (or at least extremely impractical) to recover a file removed in this fashion. Is there a default `graphical.target` that I could download or see the lines of text, so that I can remake it?
    If I recall correctly, it was just 8-10 lines of text like other `.target` files, where half of it was commented out with some
    [ 'something'] = something
    written inbetween some of the comment lines. I appreciate your help!

    Ah, I was under the assumption that `systemd` comes installed from the LiveCD/LiveUSB and not from `pacman`. I could definitely try reinstalling it with `pacman` right now and see what happens.

    Thanks! I'll see if that works first.
    EDIT: For anyone else as dumb as me in the future, the config works.

  • How Do You Solve the Xcode 6.1.1, Playground's "unable to find suitable target device"?

    Hi. I've reset Xcode 6.1.1 (I'm on Yosemite 10.10.2), have restarted the iMac (late 2009), have plugged in via USB the iPhone 5 (runs 8.1.3), resetted even the SMC and PRAM but I still get the Playground error: "unable to find suitable target device".
    I checked the Xcode's Preferences - Downloads, on the Components pane or window it says iOS 7.1 Simulator which you could download but when I try to download it, it's just a blank progress bar, even if left for hours, it's not downloading at all. Yet when I press update and install in Preferences - Downloads, it checks it but says there's not update (if there's no update why is iOS 7.1 Simulator an option to be downloaded in the Components window?).
    How do you solve this. Do I need to reset XCode at a more deeper level? Could this be a bug in 6.1.1 update?
    Thank you in advance. God bless, Rev. 21:4

  • Could not provision the RemoteApp collection. Error: Could not join the domain. Unable to reach the domain.

    Hi
    I am trying to set up an Azure RemoteApp Hybrid solution.
    I have created RemoteApp net and uploaded a custom image and all that is fine.
    When I link my template to my Collection it fails after provisioning for about an hour.
    I recive the following message: Could not provision the RemoteApp collection. Error: Could not join the domain. Unable to reach the domain.
    The join domin works fine and I have tryed with account with different lvl of access to my AD.
    Any suggestion how to solve this?

    Hello Eric,
       I am landing into the same Problem and i read your guidance on this issue. Let me answer it point by point. 
    1. Check the VPN state to ensure it is active or connected state:
    Sundesh:My Azure RemoteApp Virtual Network after successfull S2S configuration shows as Ready. Is that what you mean by Connected State? Earlier to S2S, it was just under connecting state.
    2. Verify your VNET configurations have proper IP address ranges
    Sundesh: The VNET address range, the Local address range and DNS has already been verified twice. In fact the same address ranges(with exception to VNET) are working fine on a VENT config on Azure VM instance. Verified.
    3. Verify your DNS IP configurations are valid, (often this is the problem)
    Sundesh: Yes its done and verified
    4. Verify the credentials entered for domain join are valid.
    Sundesh: Tested these credentials by joining a regular Azure VM to domain and it works there.
    5. Make sure your VPN endpoint that Azure RemoteApp service is connecting to is not blocking traffic.
    Sundesh: Can you please let us know the specific port numbers that we need to consider and i can have it checked with the Network team
    Thanks

  • Xserve Bad MAC address - Unable to reach DNS

    I have just set up our new Xserver, and have had many difficulties diagnosing network problems. I am able to log into the system via ssh using it's fixed ip number and domain name, but I am unable to use the server admin tools to connect to the system (The Xserve is rack-mounted at a remote location, we have no monitor or graphics card installed. According to /var/log/system.log, when the system boots, it is unable to locate DNS, and is unable to properly set its hostname. While I can log in, I am unable to reach (ping) any outside host. I am certain the DNS IP numbers are correct in the network settings (both resolve.conf and networksetup properly report it).
    However, after reviewing the /var/log/system.log and using networksetup command-line inquires, I have determined the MAC addresses for the two en0 and en1 ports are incorrect in the system log. networksetup reports the correct DNS IP numbers and hostname... but the MAC addresses do not match the ones in the system.log
    Is my only alternative to re-install the OS? or is there an easier way to correct the problem via a command-line?
    When I set up the system the MAC addresses, I read them and the serial number from the tab on the back of the Xserve. It was so poorly printed I was unable to properly distinguish between an "E" and a "3" or and "8" or an "F"... it was nearly impossible to read the numbers in the pull-out tab in the back of the machine because too much ink was used in the printing... I even used a magnifying glass!

    Well, it took over a week for Apple to get the replacement install DVD to me, and I finally did successfully re-install the OS. I followed a previous posters advice and only used one ethernet port for both my regular and LOM ethernet setup, and that seems to have been the ticket.
    This whole process would have been a lot easier if we had added the graphics card for the Xserve. I would have used it only once, but it would have saved me a days instead of trying to do a headless boot nad setting up over a network. My other tibbit of advice is to do the install plugged into the network you plan on using. In my case, the location we co-locate our servers was initially hesitant to let me in the main computer room to do the setup, and I tried doing it in their office location on a different LAN. I should have insisted at the beginning I needed to be in the computer room. Highly inconvienent though, freezing, hundreds of fans in the room going, setting up my client system on a chair, etc. This is my third server install, and all three were very difficult to perform. Once these servers are running though, they still take a tiny fraction of the time mantaining compared to our old Solaris/Windows systems!

    Hello Hans,
    It looks like your DNS server(s) are overloaded or refusing their job for some other reason.
    What is the response of your DNS servers when you request the problematic domains? Please try from Ironport nslookup and from any other nslookup/dig that is using the same DNS servers.
    One thing that once bothered us was that our DNS servers where allowed to perform UDP queries only, some MX targets with a lot (in this case 18) of servers in their MX records exceeded the UDP packet size and DNS tried to switch over to TCP. that traffic was dropped so the DNS server never got it's result back. I think the MX records of AOL and Amtrak are not that bid (4 and 3 mail servers) but maybe it's a start.
    You can also try to enable query logging on your DNS servers and check the results of that.
    Good luck,
    Steven

  • Unable to reach Adobe servers, Please check firewall settings and try again

    I have been a creative cloud customer since it started and I've never experienced such buggy software as the app manager. The customer experience is just shocking and I wish Adobe would just offer direct downloads for the software we need rather than use the app manager.
    I'm currently trying to install the latest versions of the programs but the app manager keeps showing "Unable to reach Adobe servers, Please check firewall settings and try again in a few minutes".
    I do not have any firewalls on my network.
    I've uninstalled all previous versions of the applications.
    The app manager will download a few % and then the message appears again. I click retry and it downloads another few % before showing the message again. I keep doing this until the program is fully downloaded and installed which take hours. Because I am able to eventually download the app, the error should be anything to do with my setup or internet connection as I've never had this issue before when installing adobe products.
    Is there a way we can bypass the app manager and install the programs directly? This is getting very annoying and I just need my apps to install without wasting days clicking the retry button.

    I'm having the exact same problem. Photoshop is stuck at 0%.
    Have the links for direct download changed? When I went to  http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-direct-download-links.htmland then scrolled down the page to:

  • Runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst: error Unable to reach any of the nodes

    Hii all,
    Well, I've gone through the pre-reqs for trying to install 11G clusterware on RHEL 5.3.
    I'm to the point where i'm trying to run:
    ./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -n node1 -verbose
    I get this:
    Performing pre-checks for cluster services setup
    Checking node reachability...
    Node reachability check failed from node "node1 ".
    Check failed on nodes:
    node1
    ERROR:
    Unable to reach any of the nodes.
    Verification cannot proceed.
    Pre-check for cluster services setup was unsuccessful on all the nodes.
    I'm just wanting right now, to install a one node RAC system (I will add servers later as I get them online).
    I've verified that ssh is working (thinking it may be trying to connect to itself by ssh). I have the keys generated and installed...if I connect ssh as the oracle user back to the same machine, it gets me right on with no prompts for passwords.
    nslookup on node1 looks great.
    This box has 2 cards....eth0 and eth1. Right now in the /etc/hosts file, I have node1 to the IP for eth0, and node1-priv set for the IP address eth1.
    I do have a little trouble understanding what the node1-vip is supposed to do or be set. I found the an IP address one higher than for eth0 wasn't being used, and set node1-vip to be that.
    (Can someone explain to me a little more about the vip host?? Is it supposed to somehow point to node1's IP address on eth0 like the regular one does?)
    Since this is a one box, one node install...hoping clusterware and checks are just looking at the /etc/hosts file. I've tried playing around, and setting node1-vip to be the same as node1 (IP)...that doesn't work either.
    One thing I can guess 'might' be wrong. Does runcluvfy use "ping"? I found the oracle user cannot ping this box from this box. The box (node1) can be pinged from outside the box...it is registered on DNS, I can ssh into it no problem, and again, oracle can ssh into himself on same box with keys properly generated).
    I've been looking around, and I just don't see much of what to look at to troubleshoot with this error, I guess everyone gets past the verification the first time with no host unreachable errors?
    I'm a bit weak when it comes to networking. Any help greatly appreciated...suggestions, links...etc!!
    cayenne

    Ok...looks like this was the problem. It appears the SA's, per newer policy, had turned off "ping" for any other user on the box besides root.
    I took a shot in the dark, and had them turn it on (as that ssh'ing and other items to check seemed to work outside the runcluvfy script). They turned on ping. The nodes from the script are now reachable and test positive for equivalency.
    Performing pre-checks for cluster services setup
    Checking node reachability...
    Check: Node reachability from node "node1"
    Destination Node Reachable?
    node1 yes
    Result: Node reachability check passed from node "node1".
    Checking user equivalence...
    Check: User equivalence for user "oracle"
    Node Name Comment
    node1 passed
    Result: User equivalence check passed for user "oracle".
    Pre-check for cluster services setup was unsuccessful on all the nodes.
    I"m guessing that last line...was due to not having the clusterware running on any other boxes?
    Anyway, will try to config. RAC, and get things installed.

    The creative cloud icon on the top menu bar is greyed out, and not updates show.
    I have spoke to our internal IT and my settings are the same as my colleagues who's is working fine, can anybody help with this ongoing problem?

    Grafix121 please ask your I.T. department to review the Adobe Creative Cloud Security FAQ for IT section of Creative Suite Enterprise Deployment | Adobe Developer Connection for information on how to configure your network to allow connections to the Adobe servers.

  • Mac Mini unable to reach NAS while MacBook Air can

    Hi Everyone,
    I've got an issue with my LAN. One computer on the LAN, a Mac Mini, is unable to reach the NAS even though all other devices can.
    The setup is nothing exotic. It's a home wifi router from my local telco provider. On the Cabled interface I have a NAS, on the Wifi side I have several devices amongst which a Mac Mini and a Macbook Air. All IP addresses are handed out through DHCP. The DHCP server is set to assign a fixed address to both the NAS and the Mac Mini.
    The Macbook and the Mac Mini can see each other just fine, the Macbook can access the NAS but the Mini can not. The Mini has no other issues to speak of, it can access everything else just fine.
    The issue appears intermittent but I have not found a pattern. Rebooting the NAS, Mini or router individually had no effect. Below is a log of commands and output from the mac mini.
    What should I be looking for to troubleshoot this appropriately?

    Hi Linc,
    The NAS responds to pings from other devices on the network.
    The Mac Mini has no other issues with regards to accessing the network or the Internet.
    I'll restart the router once more to see if this has an effect, but so far no positive change.
