[SOLVED] Where did dhcpcd go? (Celebrating the utter fail)

So this is my first install of archLinux without the installation framework and it happened to be on a Macbook.
After having to wade through 10 or 20 mutually conflicting wiki articles (here, gentoo and the rest of the Internet) on how to produce a correct UEFI install and install medium I run packstrap as explained in the install wiki article and now I have a bootable system that does NOT HAVE A DHCP DAEMON?????
Why?
> `systemctl list-unit-files`
returns "[email protected] disabled"
which apparently is a thing that isn't what I need....

I believe you have to do
# systemctl start [email protected]
Services with the @ symbol in them mean that they require an argument. If you look in the service file itself, there are %I vairables that are replaced with whatever is after the @. So there are services that are intended to be started as the user that are like this so that you can specify what user to run it as without having the edit the service file itself.

Where did Lion Go from the app store?

Where did Lion Go from the app store? it's gone. I my MacBook Pro can't run Mountain Lion but it could run Lion. But it's gone!

If you need to purchase Lion call 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. Ask for a Sales Representative. They will check your Apple ID, and email you a code and instructions. The cost is $29.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download.

[Solved] Where did ifconfig go?

[solved] Where did XFCE's volume control panel item go?

I did an update recently and noticed that the volume control panel item disappeared. So I went to add it again ... and it's not in the list! I looked in the repos and there isn't a package for it either. Where did it go?

Where is the window/space to enter a http site manually??? Where did it go w/ the newer version(s)???

Before the last upgrade there was a space to manually enter an http site or modify one that was there.
Where did it go or where is it now?
I'm a basic user and have been from Netscape days. Even have the T shirt!!!

Thanks for the reply.
How do you reset Firefox?
Aside... The program seems to be making choices for me. Will reset give me a basic internet "explorer?" I would like to keep my Yahoo tool bar as it is now...
Thanks again....

[SOLVED] Where did the arrows on the scrollbars go?

I'm currently using Cinnamon (Gnome 3) with the default Adwaita theme. It's the base install that I haven't customized anything to.
One of my first problems was the lack of the up and down arrows on the top and bottom of the scrollbar -- ie like in Firefox and Gnome Terminal
I was able to add the arrows within Firefox by modification of the /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-2.0/gtkrc file and specifically changing the sections:
GtkScrollbar::has-backward-stepper = 1
GtkScrollbar::has-forward-stepper = 1
Although this solved my lack of arrows with Firefox, I still don't have any up/down arrows in programs like gnome shell and within the file manager. Is there any suggestion on where I can make a modification to add these? Gnome Tweak Tool didn't really help.

I had been modifying the global /usr setting.
This is the best solution I have found - in the users home directory!
Pick up your changes without logging out:
Close terminal window
Hit ALT-F2
type restart
hit enter

Where did my bookmarks in the html file go?

I exported my bookmarks to html. The file opened fine with FireFox and notepad and showed the bookmarks. I copied the file to a thumb drive and it still opened fine with FireFox or notpad. But, as soon as I eject the flash drive, and put it back in, the file no longer can be read or viewed. The same thing happens to the backup .json file. Now I've tried it with saving this page as an html file. It did the same thing.

Thanks, other files on the flash drive were readable, and I had always used the "safe removal" before removing the drive. But you got me looking at it some more and the flash drive did have some corrupt files on it. After repairing it, the bookmark html files work fine.

Where or where did my AE go; the cursed thing is refusing to show?

I think this is probably a newbie question, but the funny thing is, it's been asked several times before, but none was answered. It's been years since I last reconfigured my network, and I'll be damned if I can find an answer to the case of the missing AE. I changed several settings for my Time Capsule, which is now back on line. I, therefore had to reconfigure a newer model AE that was currently extending my network and using Air Tunes. I've rebooted it, reset it, unplugged it for several minutes, plugged it in within a couple of feet of my TC - you name it. It gives me nothing but a flashing yellow light and refuses to appear in the Utility menu.
Where's my bad. Am I forgetting something that elementary? Thanks for any help you can offer on the subject.

Hold in the reset button on the AirPort Express (AX) until you see the amber light begin to blink more quickly; keep holding another 3-4 seconds when this occurs and then release the reset button.
If you want to configure the AX using wireless, remember that it is broadcasting a default wireless network with a name like +Apple Network xxxxxx+. You need to locate this network and log on (there is no security) so that AirPort Utility, the application used to configure the AirPorts, can communicate with the AX. Reconfigure the device as needed.
Alternately, you can connect an ethernet cable from your Mac directly to the AX if you want to configure using an ethernet connection. Once you have the AX updated with new settings, you can disconnect the ethernet cable.

[SOLVED] Where did uml_utilities go?

Trying to do:
[root@host ~]# tunctl -b -u 1001
Which doesn't work because i need uml_utilities, and that package can't be found anywhere (AUR, Core, Extra)?
Any ideas to what i should do or where to get it?
I've installed bridge-utils so that works fine, now i need tunctl, or is there a equivilant?
I know OpenVPN can handle this without uml_utilities so i assume there's a workaround if this package is not supported but in that case, how?

[SOLVED] Where did I put exec startx ?!

Hi guys,
Been away from Arch for a while and come back. When booting up I go straight into gnome 3.2.1. Now I know I put the command exec startx SOMEWHERE, but I've forgotten where. What are the options?
It's not in ~/.xinitrc
Thanks!
Mark
Last edited by mark1977 (2011-11-20 11:55:44)

If you want to boot straight to X, read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Start_X_at_Boot
The stuff in ~/.xinitrc is run when you type 'startx' or when startx is executed e.g. via your ~/.bash_profile.

[SOLVED] Where did my old home directory go?

I just copied my home folder over to a bigger partition for lack of space, and edited my fstab file accordingly.
Then I logged out, renamed the old user folder from /home/myuser to /home/__myuser just to be sure I was not operating from the old directory anymore.
I rebooted, and all seem to have went well - except now I have no idea where that __myuser folder has ended up residing? it is not in the /home directory anymore, but I can tell it still exist by looking at the disc usage on my root partition.
Where to look?
Last edited by jerik (2015-05-15 21:43:13)

When you mount a partition to "/home" is "goes over top of" what is already there. Most likely your old user is underneath that old mount and can't be seen because the new mount is sitting on top of it. You could boot off the Arch ISO, make sure your new /home isn't mounted, and move your old user out of /home and then mount your new /home and copy the user onto that partition.

[SOLVED] Where did Xscreensaver go??

Pacman -Syu prompted me to update to the latest Xscreensaver version (5.01), which I did. But now it is no longer in the System-Preferences menu. It is still a running process though.
Any ideas on how to get it back on the menu? I'd like to change my screensaver

Where did autofill go in the new pages program?

The old version of pages allowed me to input minimal info into a cell (account number in my case) and the program would automatically "auto fill" the remaining info for me saving countless hours of cut and pasting. Has anyone seen it in the new version?

Apple moved the pulldown to the centre of the cells, instead of the corner.

[solved] Where did perl-perlio-eol go?

I see that perl-perlio-eol just got yanked from [community] without getting put in the AUR. Was there a reason for this that I should be aware of, like it being incorporated into upstream? Should I upload the PKGBUILD that I still have and maintain it? Figuring this out is necessary for my package, rt, to work right
Last edited by synthead (2011-10-21 22:13:13)

I just attempted to upload it to the AUR and got "perl-perlio-eol is on the package blacklist, please check if it's available in the official repos." But it's not What's up?
