Startx command not found

My first post at the Arch forum.
My first imression with Arch is that it is generally a stable and well done distro.
What irritates me, is that I am trying to configure Arch to start X without a login manager like GDM (it is too heavy). But when I type "startx" in tty1 is says "command not found". Which package do I need to be able to use startx and .bashrc instead of gdm?

Geeze you guys are fast man!
Actually, I am writing from my Gnome box now, gdm works fine, and I have also configured xorg properly. Compiz is also running.
That xorg-xinit package seemed to do the trick. Actually, I edited the file /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc before I installed xorg-xinit so therefore it could not be installed due to the file already existing in the file system. But then I removed the file, and I could now install the package.

did you install Xorg?
pacman -S xorg
Xorg is required to use the startx command... and even to view a Desktop Enviroment. Just installind KDE won't do it

-bash: startx: command not found

that is the error i get after following the directions for install from the website. have ATI drivers installed. have dbus in the correct spot in daemons. have installed arch before but never ran into this issue, and all the other posts i have looked at have been totally useless to me. so any help you can give me would be awesome. i will post more info if you need.
Cheers

sounds like you need to install at least xterm, and should probably install an windows manager as well.
sudo pacman -S xterm fluxbox
from there I would copy .xinitrc from the skeleton folder to your home directory
cp /etc/skel/.xinitrc ~/
and then append exec fluxbox to your .xinitrc
edit: obviously you're welcome to use any WM I just used fluxbox as an example

Bash: $'\302\211cat': command not found

Fresh Arch install.
I tried running some commands in startx xterm (e.g., cat, vim), but got this error message:
[user@machine ~]$ cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
bash: $'\302\211cat': command not found
How can I fix this?
wpa_supplicant.conf exists.

A bad PS1 should not create such issues. A bad PS1 can create very odd visual artifacts, but the shell will still get the proper input.
I'm guessing the whole command was copied/pasted from somewhere else (eg a website). Rather than just copying the text, if some formatting was copied, it could easily create such an issue.
If this were due to a PS1 issue, the OP would get such errors with every single command entered in a terminal.

[solved] hostname command not found

Some months ago i've got this problem:
startx: line 127 hostname command not found
that i solved with
pacman -S net-tools
Today the problem is here again O.o
I've reinstalled net-tools and coreutils but nothing

Edit: inetutils from [testing] http://www.archlinux.org/packages/testi … inetutils/ have the hostname binary and it was removed from the [testing] net-tools http://www.archlinux.org/packages/testi … net-tools/
Packages in [core] still work the old way: net-tools provides hostname.

Please put your script between "code" format delimiters.

You can add the line "set -x" at the beginning of your script to see at which line it fails? I suspect the . ./env line.

I opened the contents of the application and run the shell script for opening aplication there it worked very fine and application started working.. But if i open application directly through launchpad or finder it doesnt show up and console
I tried running those commands in the terminal directly there they work.. But dunno whats wrong in here. and even if try to open the application through the terminal it all opens fine.. what could be the possible problem, is it with my mac..?

i finally figured out the problem.. it is with the environmental variables. the path for all those commands like "grep" is not being set for the GUI applications. that is why i got that error.
for those GUI applications which require path, we have to set path in the file /etc/launchd.conf the environmental variables set in here are used by the gui applications and those which are launched through spotlight.
that file may bot be present in most of the macs. No problem even if not present,we can create one and use.
so type in terminal
$ sudo vi /etc/launchd.conf
and in the editor add these lines
setenv PATH = /new/path
and save. Note: replace /new/path with the path which you need to have for the commands used in the script.
remeber that you need to restart your mac for applications to use these environmental variables.

Command not found on running binary files.

I have a very strange problem with my new arch installation, which I never faced on other linux installations/distros.
I'm trying to execute binary files from android-sdk, which I have them from other distros and always worked, and I get always "command not found" message. For e.g I tried to run adb(5 different files from different places), from terminal and from the folder in which is each and all times I get "command not found" message.
Some other work though, as eclipse binary. All files I've tried worked fine, and also work fine if I run them from Ubuntu installation.
I had this problem and for some newly isntalled packages too, as packagkit, and rutorrent. Packagekit worked after a reboot, but rutorrent gives same message.
Any help?

Can anybody help me with 12i installation or provide me steps how to apply the updates on 11.5.10 if updates have financials in it.
I appreciate any help.

Oracle E-Business Suite R12 Installation on Windows 2003
Re: Oracle E-Business Suite R12 Installation on Windows 2003
If you have a VC98, you are using Visual Studio 6. You need to be using Visual Studio 8, and set the Visual Studio directory in Rapidwiz to d:\Tools\MSVS\VC.
The Vision installation of Oracle Applications has had Oracle Financials implemented for the fictitious company Vision Corporation from the beginning, 10.7 I believe, but definitely every 11i release has financials plus every other product licensed. Not all the newest products are fully implemented, but they are licensed.

ORACLE_HOME disappeared, SQLPLUS - bash: sqlplus: command not found

OK, I am a newbie but am having real difficulty with my 10G DB which I had set up on Unix Solaris box but someone was messing around with it and now I can't see ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_BASE and ORACLE_SID, they all return blank when I try to "echo" each.
I realise I should have originally set it in Bash_profile, but is now too late.
So how do I set them back up, I cannot get SQLPLUS / AS SYSDBA.........bash: sqlplus: command not found
I have tried to reset and export but still doesn't work.
I got the ORACLE_BASE as:
training:/export/home/training/product/10.2.0/Db_1:N
but can't seem to set the three variables to run SQLPLUS, any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Tried messing around to reset but nothing works, this is the present state of affairs:
env
SSH_TTY=/dev/pts/3
USER=training
ORACLE_SID=training
ORACLE_BASE=/oracle/app
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

Can someone help me, really need a step by step guide to set these back up properly.

Single user mode . using tail -f (command not found)

Have an empty computer with no systems disk as the installation CD start up will not go past the grey screen with the rotating logo before the panic crash page comes up and tells me to restart the computer.
Trying to boot into single user mode and then use the command tail -f to see contents of some of the logs... BUT I get the reply tail command not found ????

If the hard drive is empty, then you can only boot from the CD. Regardless of whether or not it has "tail," it won't do you any good. There are no logs.

Startx command not found
