[SOLVED] wlan0 not showing on ifconfig at startup

Hello, new to Arch coming from Gentoo. One more!
I usually have to wait about a minute until wlan0 shows on ifconfig. Before that, only lo and eth0 show up.
I have wpa_supplicant (gui included) and netcfg (installed according to wiki). But I think they come a bit later than what my problem reflects.
On my rc.conf:
wlan0="dhcp"
INTERFACE="wlan0"
DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng dbus hal network netfs crond @net-profiles)
Thanks y'all.

wow! active forums, yay!
Inxsible, since your post I changed what i thought was correct, my current rc.conf (without comments)
LOCALE="en_US.UTF-8"
HARDWARECLOCK="UTC"
TIMEZONE="America/Mexico_City"
KEYMAP="ANSI-dvorak"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"

MODULES=(scsi_wait_scan)
USELVM="no"
HOSTNAME="myhost"
wlan0="dhcp"

gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
NETWORKS=(wpa_suppl)
DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng dbus hal netfs crond net-profiles)
I get the feeling this is a related to hardware (maybe firmware) but I wouldn't bet on it. More thanks!

SOLVED wlan0 not found by ifconfig

Network interface device is a wireless usb D-Link DWL-G122 C1.
Laptop Dell Latitude C600
kernel-2.6.24-ARCH
I am new to Arch, with some Linux experience. Arch is nice and seems right for my old laptop, but this problem has stumped me. The wireless interface was working for a while then it just stopped coming up - I don't know what triggered the failure, maybe an upgrade, or perhaps deleting the old serialmonkey driver rt73 modules (which no longer worked with the new kernel but sometimes still loaded and needed a 'modprobe -r')
[root@laptop ~]# ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
But wlan0 shows up here
[root@laptop ~]# cat /proc/net/wireless
Inter-| sta-| Quality | Discarded packets | Missed | WE
face | tus | link level noise | nwid crypt frag retry misc | beacon | 22
wlan0: 0000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
and also shows in in /proc/net/dev - along with lo and wmaster0.
The driver modules seem to be present (modified list to reduce the post size, hopefully contains relevant items)
[root@laptop ~]# lsmod
Module Size Used by
rt73usb 24320 0
rt2x00usb 9216 1 rt73usb
rt2x00lib 17920 2 rt73usb,rt2x00usb
rfkill 5904 1 rt2x00lib
input_polldev 3720 1 rt2x00lib
crc_itu_t 2304 1 rt2x00lib
mac80211 117132 2 rt2x00usb,rt2x00lib
Interestingly I am unable to remove the module rt73 with 'modprobe -r' or 'rmmod'.
/etc/modprobe.conf has 'alias wlan0 rt73usb' as it's only entry. The device is listed with lsusb. I can find no clues in dmsg or /var/log/messages.log when grepping for wlan0. The same failure occurs with 'netcfg2 wlan0' and also when using wpa_supplicant to try to connect.
Any help with solving this problem would be appreciated.

The device works ok on the laptop with winxp and with a backtrack live cd. I am reluctant to mess with the firmware - unfamiliar territory.
I will try to install an older kernel and see how the rt73 driver goes, it won't work with kernel-2.6.24

[SOLVED] Printer not showing up in print options but working (CUPS)

I am using Lexmark X1270 and have got it working via CUPS web interface (printed test page and all), but even after restarting CUPS daemon and rebooting, it does not show up in File > Print in any apps like Firefox, Openoffice, etc. All I see in the print is "Print to file," no printer shows up.

NetBoot images are not showing up in the Startup Disk window

I have created a few Netboot images, enabled them and placed them in the correct place.
They don't show up in the Startup Disk window.
I have noticed that bootparamd is not running, and that after a while also bootpd disappeared.
Strange, no?
(I started them back up and it didn't make a difference.)

It looks like the NFS exports has separate entries for both:
/Volumes/xxxxx
/Volumes/xxxxx/Library/NetBoot/NetBootSP0
and that's not allowed. You can't separately export a directory and one of its subdirectories on the same file system.
It sounds like maybe the Server Admin tools are confused. If you don't really need /Volumes/xxxxx exported, then I think just deleting that share should fix things up.
If you can't get the tools to straighten things out, you could override all the NFS exports with your own defined in /etc/exports. There's an exports(5) man page that describes the format and creating an /etc/exports file will override anything in NetInfo (10.4 and earlier).
If you want to export both directories, they just need to be listed in the same exports entry, like:
/Volumes/xxxxx /Volumes/xxxxx/Library/NetBoot/NetBootSP0
This causes the "/Volumes/xxxxx" file system to be exported and allows only the directories "/Volumes/xxxxx" and "/Volumes/xxxxx/Library/NetBoot/NetBootSP0" to be mounted.

My Firewire Clone is not showing up in the Startup Disk selection window

Going to the Startup Disk section Under System Preferences to locate my mounted Firewire/cloned HD - But it's not showing up there for start up selection.
The external firewire clone, running OS X 10.4.11 shows up in the finder right away. Also I have mounted and used it as the start up disk on several other computers just fine. The current computer I'm having issues mounting to is a: 2 ghz Intel MacBook with 1 gb ram running 10.4.11
The previous computers that I have had success mounting to were a G4 ibook and a G5 imac(OSX 10.4.11). - Don't know if the Intel part is why I can't mount?
Any ideas or fixes - Thanks!

I just installed a new Samsung 840 to my 2010 mac pro as a second hard drive. It is not showing up in my startup drive in system preferences

I have a 2010 Mac Pro with a 1TB HHD. I just installed and formatted a Samsung 840 Pro SSD. I want to install a clean copy of Mavericks to the SSD and have the computer boot up to it. How do I install Mavericks to the SSD? Also, the Samsung SSD does not show up as an option in Start up in system preferences. Please help!

What OS do you want to install? If you bought your MP early enough, it may have shipped with actual install discs, and you could use those. If it shipped with Lion or newer, you will have to follow one of the procedures mentioned by Niel.
You can get Mavericks from the App Store. Before you run the installer, copy (copy, not move) the whole "Install Mavericks" download to a backup location so that you can install it again if necessary. The installer in the Applications Folder will be deleted after installation is complete, so a copy is needed.

[SOLVED] Hostname not showing in DHCP lease list

This is a brand new installation using the new systemd base.
Installed openbox as window manager and Network Manager.
What did I miss that the hostname of this computer (opus) is not showing up in the DHCP Leases list?
When I connect to the network using Network Manger(DHCP), hostname is not sent to the DHCP server (DNSmasq). It shows up as a "*":
DHCP leases
Hostname    IP-address    MAC-address    Lease expires
*    192.168.10.100    XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Nov 28th, 19:34
*    192.168.10.59    XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Nov 28th, 19:23
alarmpi    192.168.10.69    XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Nov 28th, 16:56
RM696    192.168.10.97    XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Nov 28th, 18:23
(I blanked out the MAC-addresses.)
The first entry is connecting through wireless. The second is wired.
At the command line:
hostname
opus
hostname -f
localhost.localdomain
/etc/hosts:
# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost opus
::1 localhost.localdomain localhost opus
# End of file
What file do I need to change and how?
Updated:
1) I created a /etc/dhclient.conf file and added:
send host-name "opus";
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
domain-search, domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name;
and rebooted.
This had no effect.
2) Just for kicks, I uninstalled Network Manager and installed Wicd.
This DID send the hostname and it displayed on the DHCP Leases List. But it also had the effect of turning off the WiFi radio.
I did try to turn it back on: Went to the BIOS, made sure it was on (it was). Read some posts about power savings and what to do (tried them, didn't work).
So I uninstalled Wicd, re-installed Network Manager and I am back to where I was.

[SOLVED] Arch not showing up in grub after ArchBang install

I have a triple booting machine with Windows7, Arch, and ArchBang. Windows 7's system partition is where I have the bootloader installed. I recently installed Archbang and now my other Arch is not showing up in grub. I tried updating the grub menu by running os-prober, installing grub to the boot partition and doing a grub-mkconfig but it will not find the other Arch on the other partition. I'm thinking maybe this is a naming issues since they have the same grub entry name? I don't know. Any thoughts?

Okay nevermind, I got it fixed. I just copied the entry from the other Arch's grub.cfg and pasted it into the new grub.cfg

[Solved] Grub not showing windows partition

Hey all,
So I tried setting up my Win7/Arch dual boot system yesterday and I think I got the partitions right (correct me if I made any mistakes), but GRUB was not showing my main windows partition. I went into the menu.lst file and uncommented what I thought was my windows partition, but turned out to be my Samsung recovery partition. After a reboot, Grub now won't even load and automatically reboots the computer on failing. I'm sure that once I can figure out how to get back into that config file from my installer CD, I will be able to re-comment that windows entry, but I still am unsure how to get it to recognize my main windows partition.
Here are the partitions:
Name Flags Part Type FS type [Label] Size
sda1 (Boot) Primary ntfs [RECOVERY] 16GB
sda2 Primary ntfs [SYSTEM] 104MB
sda3 Primary ntfs 372GB (main windows7 partition)
sda5 Logical ext2 [root] 15GB
sda6 Logical swap [swap] 4GB
sda7 (Boot) Logical ext2 [boot] 100 MB
sda8 Logical ext3 92GB (home Linux partition)
Thanks for your help

Okay so first I tried recommenting all of the windows boot information with no luck. Then I changed the windows line to "rootnoverify (hd0,1)," also with no luck. Grub still tries to load but crashes and reboots the system before presenting me with any options.
Here are the options, if this helps at all.

27" i5 Mid 2010 iMac not showing grey screen on startup intermittently

Hi all, I am new to Mac, but I have been around PC's for decades.
I will be talking to a Genius this week, but thought I'd reach out here before I talk to them to see if this is a known issue with a known solution. If all else fails, I will return the Mac to Amazon for a replacement since it is brand new.
Read several posts and I DON'T think I have the sleep issue everyone is talking about. My issue is coming out of a cold boot.
Here is what happens.
I click the Apple logo to "Shut Down..." the iMac.
Then when I go to restart it, most times, I hit the power button on the back and within 4-5 seconds, I hear the "dang" sound. Then a few seconds later the grey apple logo comes up, and then in about 22-24 seconds, I see my desktop.
*Here is the problem. Ever once in a while, on startup, after I press the power button, I still hear the*
*"dang" sound after about 4-5 seconds, but then the screen stays completely black for about 100 seconds, then my desktop shows up.*
Other than that, my iMac seems to be running great. I have rendered several hours of iMovie projects really tasking the computer with no issues.
I have done everything everyone suggested here already:
My startup disk is pointed to my Mac OS x, 10.6.5 on Macintosh HD
I have reset the PRAM
I have run AHT in extended mode with no trouble found.
The system is completely stock with no modifications and was brand new 2 days ago from Amazon.
Here are the exact specs:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac11,3
Processor Name: Intel Core i5
Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 8 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Processor Interconnect Speed: 4.8 GT/s
Boot ROM Version: IM112.0057.B00
SMC Version (system): 1.59f2
When I started up the Mac, it asked me if I wanted to update and I did. Oh, one other thing. I am not sure if this is related, but before I "noticed" this happening, I went to shutdown once, and I got the spinning color wheel and the Mac would not shut down. I finally held the power button down to force the shutdown. When I mentioned that to a Genius (before I knew I had this problem I am telling you about), he seemed very intent that I should bring it in or get it replaced. Maybe I am being paranoid but I guess the spinning color wheel should not happen on a brand new iMac that was less than a day old.
Oh, I also went to Disk Utility and repaired the volume and fixed the permissions. On another note, every time I go to check the permissions, some java files seem to always have the wrong permissions. Not sure what that is about.
Anyway, just reaching out to see if anyone has this issue or if this is a know issue with a known fix.
Also, i am new to Mac, so if you suggest I try something, please give me detailed instructions since I don't know my way around a Mac too well yet. So something as simple as "did you upgrade to the new video driver" won't help me much since I am not sure if I did that out not yet or how to check it.
Thanks!!

Thanks for suggestions of pointing to the StartUp drive. ALready did that with no help.
I actually erased the drive and restores and same issue. I called Apple and they said they did not know of any issues with the mid 2010 27" i5 or i7 iMac's.
They did agree that it may be a graphics card issue where the graphics card is not resetting itself properly.
When I shutdown and remove the power and plug the Mac back in, it seems to solve the problem, but as long as it stays plugged in, even after a shutdown and a clod boot, I still intermittently get the error.
So, sounds like no known issue and I just have defective HW. Sending it back to Amazon today for a refund.

[solved] gdm not showing user list and not recognizing gconf

I installed gdm2setup from aur and ran it as root, and since then gdm will no longer display a user browser to select my user from, I have to manually type in the user name and password to login.
I uninstalled gdm2setup, and then did a force reinstall for gdm (pacman -S --force gdm)
Then I rebooted, and as I mentioned, the user browser does not display.
I edited /etc/gdm/custom.conf so that it shows:
[greeter]
Browser=1
...but still no luck.
I made sure that gconf says that disable_user_list is not true, and it isn't.
gconftool-2 --get /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list
false
So I don't know what else to do, or why this is happening.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have iwlwifi-3945-ucode installed?

Audio not showing onTV monitor - HD Startup disk fault.

In FCP5 my settings have gone awry with Default Audio showing 'everwhere' except in the Timeline Settings Audio Output where I note "Load Audio Preset" refuses to quit and let in Default Audio as my setting.
I get audio from the computer as if the View setting is not on All Frames when it actually is. The video plays quite clearly in the monitor with the audio coming from the MacPro.
Repairing and verifying permissions led me to verify HD which produced - "Disk Utility stopped verifying Macintosh HD because the following error was encountered:
The underlying task reported failure on exit. 1 HFS volume checked. Volume needs repair."
Using Disk Utility I again tried to get into disk repair for the HD. Greyed out. Used the install startup disk utility and got the same result so I now am stuck and can't finish off projects in FCP because of the audio error.
Info sent to Apple on their Feedback page. No more heard.
Help anyone.. ? T.I.A.

You ARE running v5.1 on your intel machine - correct? If not, that could be the source of your problem.
If you are running v5.1,
The first time you run FCP Attic, simply TRASH the preferences and restart the system. The program will generate new preference files with the default settings.
Once you get the application stable - then use Attic to BACKUP the known to be good prefs. If you run into corrupted preferences later, simply RESTORE back to operable versions.
Diskwarrior 4 is available but, if you are upgrading from an earlier version, it is only available on CD. It takes a couple of weeks to ship it. If you are purchasing a new version, I believe you can download and burn your own CD.
Reinstalling FCP doesn't fix as much stuff as you'd think.
Try this.
-Boot up the computer and go to System Preferences>Accounts
-Click on the '+' at the bottom of the list of accounts to create a new user account. Call it whatever makes sense but be sure to give it admin privileges.
-Log out of your current account into the new account.
-Launch FCP. Do things work as they should?
-If so, you definately have an FCP preferences issue and Attic usually takes care of these
-If not, you have other problems and should start thinking about a complete wipe of the hard drive and a reinstall of the OS and applications from scratch.
report back.

Boot Camp not showing anymore as a Startup Disk option?

For months, my internal 1TB had been partitioned 750GB/250GB OS X 10.6/Windows 7, with no problems - I want to use Windows, I either reboot and hold Alt, then choose Windows when the menu comes up, or I go System Preferences > Startup Disk and change it to "Boot Camp".
A few days ago I shrank the 10.6 partition by 200GB using Disk Utility, then formatted the space as Mac OS Extended and installed the preview of OS X 10.7 Lion (I was invited to try it via the AppleSeed programme).
Since then, the only options I have in System Prefs > Startup Disk or when holding Alt during boot are 10.6 and 10.7 - Boot Camp seems to have vanished as a choice. If I open Disk Utility, Boot Camp is still there, still 250GB. If I browse the Boot Camp partition in OS X I can see all my Windows files, etc, it just seems to be gone as a bootable option
Help!

I have the same problem... Can do WinClone, not supported on Lion, to get an image backup of W7 partition. At this point, since I can get to all the data on that partition, I would be more than happy to do an image backup of it, reinstall Windows 7 to get the boot partition to work, then reimage back to that original W7 partition so that I wouldn't have to reinstall and reconfigure all my applications.
My data is:

[SOLVED] Firefox not showing Chinese? Only squares.

I tried search engines and not being any smarter. Squares look like this http://i.imgur.com/ZLPGlBj.png. Tried all Firefox language settings but no help. I have google fonts in use (Arimo font): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-google-webfonts/
