Squid won't start in Arch Linux

I just installed Squid in my machine running Arch Linux. When I try to start it, it gives me this message :
>bash: /usr/sbin/squid: cannot execute binary file
How can I fix this?

Is the elf on bash correct? Did you mix repo architectures somehow maybe?
Everything seems to be fine... The architecture have been set to ARM

Dhcp server won't admit my Arch Linux (though Win's have no problems)

1. Generally my dhcpcd works fine in every network (and always has, I have not changed anything substantial).
2. Currently I am in a network (for just a couple of weeks) in which it does not.
3. The network will ignore all my dhcp requests over both network devices, enp1s0 and wlp2s0 (ethernet and wifi)
4. When trying the same from Windows (dual boot), the dhcp client works brilliantly (i.e. the hardware is fine)
5. I can force entry into the cable network by simply assigning an IP address and setting netmask and gateway as was configured by dhcp when I tried from Windows
6. For wifi this does not work. More specifically it works for a brief moment if (and only if) I was connected from Windows immediately before and assign myself the same IP address (I can ping the gateway and also 8.8.8.8). After this moment the network apparently kicks me out (cannot ping anything any more, nothing answers). dhcpcd inform (dhcpcd -s <IP Adress>) does not fare better.
7. I tried changing some of the settings in dhcpcd.conf that have been given as reasons for similar problems in the forums, archwiki, or somewhere else, including exchanging 'duid' for 'clientid', and commenting out 'require dhcp_server_identifier'. Does not help. My dhcpcd.conf, see below.
8. dhclient does not work either.
What I want: Connect to the internet via wifi from Arch.
I guess this comes down to making the dhcp server believe my Arch was one of the Windowses it is used to. How do I do that?
I understand that dhcp does not involve clients revealing their operating systems to the servers; but some configurations are likely different between Arch and Windows. I am not used to working with Windows and have no idea how to access the dhcp client configuration settings there (if this is even possible) to get an idea what exactly is different. Here is my dhcpcd.conf - any ideas what exactly about it displeases the server so much or what I might change or add to make the server more pleasantly inclined?
dhcpcd.conf
hostname
clientid
#duid
persistent
option rapid_commit
option domain_name_servers, domain_name, domain_search, host_name
option classless_static_routes
option ntp_servers
#require dhcp_server_identifier
nohook lookup-hostname
noipv4ll
I would include the logs as well, but they are boring beyond belief, do not contain anything except for dhcpcd trying and failing with timeout.

Thanks, MoonSwan & ewaller,

Found that, There are a lot of "Advanced properties", for instance "Bandwidth Capacity" is set to "11b/g: 20MHz", "BSS Mode" is set to "802.11n Mode", "Fragmentation Threshold" to "2346" (whatever that may mean) ... etc. Unfortunately, I cant copy any of that; most of it also seems rather unimportant; also I left all this on its default setting when I followed the instructions on how to connect to this wifi on Windows.
However, here is some information I managed to squeeze out of the pathetic, pittyful Windows terminal which they call the "Comand Line"

What I find odd is this "Taredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface". As a matter of fact, I have not the slightest idea if this is happening inside this local Windows I have here or if this is something real in the network configuration (on the other side of the access point)... It apparently should tunnel IPv6 to IPv4 and/or vice versa. However, why would there be two connections over the same network interface (IPv6 and IPv4)...
What is odd as well is that the DHCP server is not part of the subnet my Windows is in. It just seems to announce IP, netmask, gateway to the Windows ... (the gateway is in the subnet). Could it be that the Linux dhcp client does not accept something like that. No, that's unlikely, right? dhcpcd -d should have reported this...

no. and given their network configuration I don't suppose the IT people here would be very forthcoming if I asked them. Their helpdesk said that they couldn't help me since my laptop was not one of their computers.

Dang.
I am. It's WPA2 encrypted & I only have access data to this one wifi network. (To avoid confusing everyone with mentioning too many different things, I did not detail this in the original post. I am accessing it using wpa_supplicant running in a terminal; wpa_supplicant works fine says "connection succeeded" etc. So the problem is not in the WPA/ wifi-connection layer but really in the IP/dhcp layer.)

Yes, a university. They have someone working here who went through great lengths to make it difficult for people to connect to the internet.

Trouble with a wired connection on my fresh Arch Linux Install

I am a new Arch Linux user. I used to use Ubuntu exclusively, but I'm to the point where I can no longer stand a lot of the issues with the new development and Canonical. Anyways....
I have a Dell Inspiron 1440 laptop with an RTL8110SC (Module R8169) Ethernet port. (Pardon me if my terminology is wrong; please correct me if it is so I can learn? ) During the install process with the CD that I made, I had no issues connecting to the Internet. However, whenever I boot into my install, there is no connection. I've tried pinging various web pages and nothing will happen. I know that my hardware is compatible, but I do not know what to do next. I've tried everything under the Wiki's Beginner's Guide and the Network Configuration Guide.
I just realised after I wrote this top portion that it no longer is connecting via CD, either. Pinging is giving me errors about no packets being received.
Please help me with this matter? I would love to start using Arch Linux!

Ping is a very basic command that is fundamental to debugging networks at the lowest levels.

Arch Linux Podcast

I have read the old posts about someone starting an Arch Linux podcast in other places but I haven't found one yet. If there is one out there please correct me.
I am part of a crew of hosts that do the Linux Basix podcast and to compliment the main cast we are starting some side podcasts. Well I am starting up an Arch Linux podcast. The basic gist of the cast is not to cover the wiki that we already have but to try to cover things outside of the wiki or help find answers they are stuck on and to just get people introduced to a good Linux distro. With the documentation that is out there I have been unsure if a podcast would have much value but several friends of mine have strongly encouraged me to get off my butt and get going. If you have any suggestions that would be good to address, good topics that could help the Arch Linux community and so on please let me know. You can contact me through the forum or you can use [email protected] which will be the email address for the podcast.

Sounds really great, actually. Again, as long as you aren't repeating the Wiki. Maybe the first few should introduce the idea of Arch as the rolling release, KISS distribution. And mention what that entails exactly.

Arch Linux has helped me learn and I am grateful.

I am going to tell you what sparked this thread first: I was reading your wiki on installing a 32bit bundled system into a 64bit system. And NO, I did not know what the heck was going on as usual. The thing is I am always curious. That is why I end up learning. Here is what sparked me... I got to the 'sed' command and did NOT understand what was going on and I dove in! What a wonderful and amazingly, useful tool. Instead of just copying commands such as:
# sed -e 's/\$arch/i686/g' /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist > /opt/arch32/mirrorlist
# sed -e 's@/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist@/opt/arch32/mirrorlist@g' -e '/Architecture/ s,auto,i686,' /etc/pacman.conf > /opt/arch32/pacman.conf
I took the command apart, tried it in various ways, made test files and learned what it all meant. This type of thing is happening over and over again while using Arch. Arch was extremely overwhelming at first but, I really like it that way, I tend to learn really fast this way. In the beginning it is REALLY hard though.
i have read about said and I know about substitute and global (s///g) but what through me off was -e '/Architecture/ s,auto,i686,' So I made a test file with Architecture in it.
echo "Architecture = auto" > test
then ran
cat test | sed -e '/Architecture/ s,auto,i686,'
Wow! Guys, I was so excited when I finally figured out what was going on. Through trial and error, I just learned some really cool things about said and also got better at seeing that you can use any character as the separator - like @ instead of /. See this makes me happy, when I figure something out like this. It is SO rewarding. Im like a kid at Christmas
So what is happening is I am getting this phenominal understanding of Linux by diving deep into Arch Linux. I have now swithced over my only computer to Arch Linux. I only really cared about a few windows programs and with wine I have one of them running!!
I just want to thank you all for such a great experience. I didn't know how much I love this stuff until I started with Arch Linux. Thanks again!

I wanted to learn too...so i have question.
Could somebody explain this? Also, what this is exacly
'/Architecture/ s,auto,i686,'
Let me show you by example...
echo "hello world" | sed 's/world/universe/'
echo "hello world" | sed 's,world,universe,'
echo "hello world" | sed 's@world@universe@'
Notice all of these are the same result. This is because you can use any character you like in place of the separator.
So when you look at this '/Architecture/ ***s.auto,i686,*** that is replacing the word 'auto' with 'i686'
The /Architecture/ is like using grep.
so if you have a file that looks like this
color1 = red
color2 = red
Easy way to make this in one command. Make sure and use $ and ' ' instead of " "
echo $'color1 = red\ncolor2 = red' > test
and run this
cat test | sed -e '/color1/ s,red,blue,'
same thing...
cat test | sed -e '/color1/ s@red@blue@'
also to prove its like grep
cat test | grep color2 | sed -e 's/red/black/'
sed is very powerful and awesome. There is WAY more than this.

X server won't start (Arch Linux installed on USB key)

Hi,
I installed Arch Linux on a USB key (see the original thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=185441).
The problem is that X doesn't start on all machines.
When starting the system on a machine with NVIDIA GTX 560Ti graphics card:
- X doesn't start using startx or xinit and there are no log entries in /var/log/Xorg.*.log (as I haven't tried to start X).
- I'm getting the message "Waiting for X server to begin accepting connections .. .. .. ..".
- Additionally: The "default terminals tty1/2/3/..." (which I'm using to start X) from have a poor resolution (I think 640x480 pixel).
When starting the system on a virtual machine or a machine with an ATI Radeon (mobile) graphics card:
- X starts and runs without any trouble the XFCE desktop environment.
- Additionally: The default terminals have a proper resolution (I think the maximal resolution of the display).
What happens if you uninstall nvidia and use nouveau?
I installed all video drivers recommended here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … eo_drivers
So I was using nouveau in the first place. I already tried to uninstall the open source driver (xf86-video-nouveau, nouveau-dri) to use the default driver (I think this is xf86-video-vesa) with no effect.
The poor tty resolution is to be expected if the closed-source nvidia drivers are installed, because they don't support KMS.
I have never tried to install the proprietary driver (and actually don't want to use the proprietary driver).
Also have you looked in /etc/X11 ?
Yes. I don't think that my configuration contains anything preventing X from starting using the NVIDIA graphics card (but I'm not sure what to look for).
I'm starting X using "startx" or "xinit -- :0 -nolisten tcp vt$XDG_VTNR". Here's my ~/.xinitrc:
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
exec startxfce4

I figured out where the problem comes from. It is actually the screen (which has a resolution of 1920x1080 pixel). When using a screen (with a smaller resolution) I'm getting a decent resolution in the terminal and - more imporant - X starts and seems to use the Nouveau driver (which I have installed again). When plugging my normal screen again (while X is running) I'm able to use this screen with the maximum resolution without problems (so only starting with this screen does not work). Now I have a reference point to fix the problem.
The other thread might be interesting as well.

Arch Linux won't boot (and Linux in general)

Hello everyone,
I've been having this problem for about 3 days now. I finally made an account and post the problem since I can't find a solution (I solved most of my past problems by searching forums and googling so I had never posted before).
So, I was installing Arch linux and Windows 7 on my machine (eee pc 1201t) but had problems booting into linux. First I installed Windows and it worked fine, then I installed Arch linux (this isn't my first time) and rebooted after finishing the installation. But my laptop just won't boot. It just displayed a blinking cursor on the top left of the screen. No error messages whatsoever. It was my first time encountering the problem so I thought reinstalling would do the trick. But it didn't. So I started researching on the same problems on google and discovered that it could be either a HD problem or corrupted MBR or some other problem. My drive works fine, since I can copy data onto it using a live cd (Ubuntu) and Windows works fine with it.
I'm thinking of using "dd" command on my drive and repair the MBR. I would like to know if you guys have encountered the same problem before and what kind of solution you applied.
Note: I also tried installing Ubuntu on my machine but the result was the same.

ngoonee wrote:Live CD, setup grub again, and profit?
I tried this first, had no luck or maybe I wasn't doing it right.
nixpunk wrote:So are you booting into windows using grub or just ntldr?
My laptop boots using ntldr only. Grub does not seem to work. I tried installing Arch and Ubuntu but I had the same result (blinking cursor on the top left of the screen).
schuay wrote:As always with boot problems, you will need to provide some more data about your setup. Output of 'df -h', contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst, install location of grub, etc. Without that, other people can only make guesses about the possible solution
I'll keep that in mind. Sorry for the lack of details regarding my problem. I will try to add as much information as I can the next time I post.
Anyway, I think I solved the problem. I zeroed the MBR on my HD by issuing the command "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 and grub installed just fine. Thanks for the reply everyone.

Solved Arch won't start

When I try to start Arch Linux, it goes through normally until it gets to : : Checking Filesystems. Then it displays the following error:

Well check your file system for errors.
The first line reads:
/dev/sda3 contains a file system with errors. check forced.
Kind of bites you in the nose doesn't it . Actually, *everything* you need to know is in that chunk of text you posted.
I trust you not only ran a check but also allowed the check to fix what was broken (considered your important data is backed up)?

Arch Linux on SmartQ (V5II) -looking to start project-

Upfront I will note that I am not skilled enough to accomplish this alone at my current level. I will learn what I can in order to achieve this task, so any and all links to tutorials and ideas on how to get this working will be taken and put through heavy consideration. Primary concern will be getting a working "livecd" cloned image (basically, all the most standard core packages to get a working Arch Linux with USB Keyboard and mouse support, then build from there till I get X and all the nice features of the V5(II) working, and branch out from there Will probably look into repartitioning the NAND so I can have a complete and full install (probably preserve Android for being boot from SD, which is fine since it's a complete dual-boot which requires rebooting to switch anyway) As of now, I am referencing the development tutorial for SmartQ, tutorials for building firmware images from plugapps (nice Arch port to ARM devices) and whatever information I can gather from someone on the Arch Linux forums who has recently ported it to the newest ARM processor type (v7, if I'm not mistaken). All links will be provided at the bottom of this post.
My guess is that I will have to approach this with a "Linux From Scratch" mindset of compiling the kernel, busybox and whatever else I need to get a working base install (which, from there, I can compile everything else natively on the actual device)to the point where I reach a working system with gui, basic tools, maybe a game or two, and whatever else would constitute being enough for "firmware" status. I guess, my only question ahead of all that is how do I go about making the "base install" firmware to build up from? Secondary question to that is, once I get a nice setup, how do I take that (all being on the actual V5II) and remaster THAT into a firmware that I can then post online for others to test? I already have my homework cut out for me, so I'll be reading what i can to figure this out while anybody and everybody here throws me tutorial links and ideas on how I can accomplish this each step of the way... We shall see where this train takes us.

can't think of anything else at this point, but I will categorize links the best I can to morph them into somewhat of a workflow process and group the help aids to each relevant step along the way. Anyone interested in helping, feel free to join in on the fun.. Will be looking that the ArchMobile stuff and incorporating what I can into my project... maybe this will help revive the ArchMobile project as well...

If you are a new programmer then Python is a good place to start. Install WingIDE 101 from the AUR for a good beginner's IDE for that.
Think Python is a free book to get started with (PDF or HTML download on that page and you can buy the dead tree if you want)
If you want to do programming that requires fast code above all else then C++ is the standard. Code::Blocks is a good IDE for that. Be sure to install "base-devel" and "gdb" to go along with it.
Programming - Principles and Practice Using C++ is a dead tree book for C++, you have to buy it but that is offset by the fact that its author is also the author of the C++ language.

Arch won't start , probably due to Catalyst

Hello,
I have a small (Big) problem on my computer , that probleme made me whype my HDD thrice for now , because like said in the title my ARCH setup won't start , so here is the problem : The loading is stuck after those few lines :
//Talking about the number of blocks in /dev/sda3
[ OK ]Reached dhcpcd on eno1
[ OK ]Reached target Multi-user system
[ OK ]Reached target Graphical Interface
[ OK ]Reached target Network
The things I know about this problem :
-First happened when installing Catalyst
-I did a very small install with the base / base-devel / skype / gnome / gnome-extra / xorg and the Unoficial catalyst repo (I think I forget nothing ...)
-It happened with or without xf86-video-ati
-It is stuck there. It won't let me do anything
-Due to the xorg116 bug with catalyst I used the unofficial xorg115 repo each time
Unfortunately each time I did a
systemctl enable gdm
so I can't do any test.
Anyone has a clue of what is happening ? I tried using lxdm for example , but since it did not work very fast , I did not use it , and I had forgoten to add Catalyst that time.
So should I stick with the xf86-video-ati , use lxdm (or an other display manager) or do another thing ?

So know , with tying to use the startx command I think I can say that the problem is not GNOME but the drivers ....
Because startx crashed , and the log (http://pastebin.com/tTndn5ep) complains about a "dri3" module that is not found (look at about line 610)
This is a more problematic thing I think
And by the way I don't have the package xorg-twm

[SOLVED] Arch Linux won't boot

Hi,
I was bad and didn't update my packages often enough, and now my arch installation on a desktop won't boot.
I've booted off of a usb arch install, mounted all of the appropriate harddrive partitions, and used arch-chroot to switch to the offending hard drive.
The /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg is such:
# Config file for Syslinux -
# /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg
# Comboot modules:
# * menu.c32 - provides a text menu
# * vesamenu.c32 - provides a graphical menu
# * chain.c32 - chainload MBRs, partition boot sectors, Windows bootloa
ders
# * hdt.c32 - hardware detection tool
# * reboot.c32 - reboots the system
# * poweroff.com - shutdown the system
# To Use: Copy the respective files from /usr/lib/syslinux to /boot/sysli
nux.
# If /usr and /boot are on the same file system, symlink the files instea
d
# of copying them.
# If you do not use a menu, a 'boot:' prompt will be shown and the system
# will boot automatically after 5 seconds.

Everything looks fine to me, /dev/sda1 is /boot, which has the same UUID as what mdadm has for /dev/md0, which is what syslinux.cfg has been told to boot off of. I'm not sure what to do from here.

It's long that Arch uses rw argument on kernel command line.
You should correct your syslinux.cfg as follow.
LABEL arch
MENU LABEL Arch Linux
LINUX ../vmlinuz-linux
APPEND root=LABEL="archiso:1" rw ## <<< Here's the diff
INITRD ../initramfs-linux.img
This isn't for the fallback menu entry, you just analyze the differences and do same there.
I'm not familiar with syslinux, I just suppose you may try to test these options on-the-fly, before write them permanently. So when the syslinux menu will appear at boot time, please find the way to enter in edit mode and apply the correction. That will stay for the time you boot once. But it will ensure if it'll be good enough and do the writing later once you've booted.

WCS won't start after Linux Upgrade

Hi,
I've just upgrade RH to v5.0 and it all seemed to go fine except WCS won't start. I was running v5.0.56.0 on RH v4.0 (I know it's not supported) on a WLSE appliance, which ironically seemed to be fine. Now I get this....
Database server is running
Apache server is stopped
WCS is registered, but not initialized.
The Server seems to be unavailable. The possible reasons are
1. The server is not running yet.
2. The server is hanging.
3 The server has crashed.
If the server has crashed or is hanging
Please report the issue and follow the instructions to restart it.
1. Run StopWCS to stop all WCS processes.
2. Run StartWCS to start the WCS server.
3. If the server still fails to start, or you still get this
message, then reboot the machine.
Any suggestions will be most welcome.
Thanks
Scott

Arch Linux Won't Boot! Why o' Why?!

So, this is prorably the fifth time installing Arch Linux and I've got everything exact.
- Boot is the first partition
- I've configured GRUB properly
- I've installed the basic packages
- I've partitioned everything properly
- Grub is set to boot
But, still, something is stopping GRUB from booting (even though /boot is set to "boot"). There has been no OS on there before - I'm running it in VirtualBox.
Why is it not working? I'm about to tear my hair out over this!
BTW: I'm using 2010.05.
Please Help!

It was because I installed the Bootloader to the wrong place (I stuck it in a partition, which, I know now, your not supposed to do)!
Thanks for that, I put my grub on /dev/sda, boots fine but wondered if I should have put it on /dev/sda1

Arch linux installed on LVM won't boot

My hard disk has only 1 partition.
I created 1 volume group and 1 logical volume on it.
my fstab looks like this:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
# UUID=7e4cc742-0eda-4a69-8357-4b769cd51520
/dev/mapper/vg000-lv000 / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 2
I configured /etc/mkinitcpio.conf as following and ran mkinitcpio -p linux again:
MODULES="dm_mod"
HOOKS="base udev usb lvm2 filesystems"
After installation, I rebooted the system, selected the 1st entry in grub menu, the screen shows:
Loading Linux core repo kernel ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
then the following errors occured:
ERROR:device '/dev/mapper/vg000-lv000' not found. Skipping fsck.
ERROR:Unable to find root device 'dev/mapper/vg000-lv000'
Could anybody please help?
PS: I then rebooted to arch-linux using cd, I noticed that /dev/mapper/vg000-lv000 was not there. I had to use vgchange -ay vg000 to make it appear. Could this be related to the ERRORS?

Is your hard disk attached via usb? If not, you did not have the proper modules for the intramfs to access the hard disk itself. You had it set up so that it could boot from a usb device, but not an internal device. You should have read the comments for each of those examples. It explains pretty cearly what each example would be used for.
Edit: I use lvm and my mkinitcpio.conf HOOKS line looks like this:
HOOKS="base udev autodetect sata lvm2 filesystems fsck timestamp"
My SSD's are connected via SATA III, the lvm2 hook is obvious, the filesystems load the ext4 module (all filesystems are ext4), fsck adds fsck and fsck.ext4, timestamp makes 'systemd-analyze' able to tell you how long it takes the initramfs and kernel to load individually instead of together. base should always be there, and first (unless you really really know what you are doing), udev adds... udev, and autodetect tries its best to strip everything you don't need for your particular system.
For info on a paritcular hook, use the -H option with mkinitcpio. (ie. 'mkinipcio -H lvm2'). There is also a fantasticlly informative wiki page about mkinitcpio.

[GUIDE] How to get MapleStory working in Arch Linux

MapleStory is a free-of-charge, 2D, side-scrolling massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by the South Korean company Wizet. Several versions of the game are available for specific countries or regions, and each is published by various companies such as Wizet and Nexon. Although playing the game is free, character appearances and gameplay enhancements can be purchased from the "Cash Shop" using real money. MapleStory has a combined total of over 50 million subscriber accounts in all of its versions. MapleStory North America (Global), for players mainly in North America and outside of East Asia, Southeast Asia and Europe, has over three million players.
In the game, players travel the "Maple World", defeating monsters and developing their characters' skills and abilities as is typical in role-playing games. Players can interact with others in many ways, such as through chatting, trading, and playing minigames. Groups of players can band together in parties to hunt monsters and share the rewards. Players can also join a guild to interact more easily with each other.
I am an avid mapler myself, however, I am also an avid archer! For some time, I have wanted to get MapleStory working on Arch Linux in some way, but nothing seemed to work. As you might have guessed by now, recently, while playing around with VirtualBox, I discovered a method to get MapleStory working on it! Though in this method you won't actually have MapleStory running on Arch Linux, you'll have it running on a VirtualBox Windows virtual machine, that is still pretty good compared to other people's experiences.
I hope there are at least a few maplers on this forum, and if there aren't, I hope that someone will port this post over to other Linux, or even MapleStory, forums. Anyways, let's begin.
1. Download and install a version of Virtual Box that is version 3.0+. The reason for this is that, only versions 3.0+ support an experimental DirectX Driver with 3D acceleration that is required for MapleStory to run.
2. Create a Windows Virtual Machine, add a hard disk to it, and install and update Windows on it(preferably Windows XP, as it uses less resources than other contemporary Windows installations).
3. Once you have done all you needed and wanted on that Windows installation, restart it, boot it into safe mode by holding F8 at the boot, and wait until the desktop is fully loaded.
4. After you are at the desktop, go to "Devices" at the top of the menu of the Windows virtual machine, and select "Install Guest Additions...". Wait until Guest Additions finishes installing, and when VirtualBox asks you if you want to mount the disk containing the Guest Additions on the virtual machine, say "Yes".
5. Run the main executable on the disk that doesn't have amd64 or x86 following its name. Follow the instructions it gives you, and when it asks you what components to install, make sure both of the boxes it shows you are checked.
6. After the install is completed, the virtual machine will restart. After it restarts, shut it down.
7. Congratulations! You now have DirectX installed on your VirtualBox virtual machine! Now you need to activate the "3D Acceleration", that enables it.
8. In the VirtualBox main window, make sure you have your machine with Windows selected. Then, click on "Machine", and then "Settings...", at the top. A new window should pop up. On the left hand side, click on the display panel, and in the new settings section, tick Enable 3D Acceleration. Click "OK", to save the settings.
9. Start your Windows virtual machine, install MapleStory just as you would on a normal windows computer, and run MapleStory.
Notes: This way of running MapleStory is slower than by running it normally, on a normal windows computer. Also, try to not interact with your Linux desktop while playing MapleStory, because this can cause HackShield to shut down MapleStory, due to the fact that it believes there is a hacking attempt.
If any of you port this guide to any other place on the web, please, credit me, neovaysburd5.

Alright, I've posted it in the wiki. I don't know if it meets the Arch Linux wiki standards, so if there is absolutely anything wrong with it, please fix it right away. Don't even ask my permission.
