Trouble with grub...

Hi,
I tryed to install solaris 10 in a virtalbox under my Linux... but the problem is that grub load only stage 1 but not stage 2 (It breaks in the grub console.)
I have downloaded the developer version on 2 DVDs...
How can I load the solaris-installer with grub in my Virtalbox? Im not realy experienced with grub :-( If I try to boot my whole Computer with the first DVD, it happens the same...
In the offical installationhowto.pdf stays nothing to this, and I cant find someone who have the same problem. What do I wrong?

You need to change your menu.lst. I have windows 7 on my first partition, ie sda1. Arch linux is on the second partition, ie sda2:
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/01c08dbe-bfc1-4b41-95d6-3abd118b42a1 ro

Make sure that you use (hd0,0), which is the first partition. Change the harddisk boot order in your BIOS. If you want to boot the second harddisk, this is the way to do it I suppose:
title Windows Vista 64
map (hd0) (hd1)

[Solved]Having trouble with Grub detecting Windows 8 in dualboot

Hey there,
I have a UEFI board. When I first installed archlinux I did not used the Windows boot partition. To fix this I loaded up the installation media, mounted the partitions as they should be, mounting the microsoft boot partition as /mnt/boot and mounted my UEFI partition into /mnt/boot/efi. I reinstalled the kernel and regenerated the fstab. I also reinstalled grub and os-prober and such and regenerated the config.
When I did all this, there is still not /boot/EFI/Microsoft. The grub mkconfig does not detect the microsoft boot at all.
What am I missing?
Thanks!

I am using 2 disks: sda and sdb.
I made sda2 is the windows boot partition, sda5 is the root partition for arch, sda6 is the UEFI partition I made for UEFI, sdb2 is the home partition.
I followed the commands in the beginners guide.
Originally I did
mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/boot
mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/home
pacstrapped and generated fstab and did the three commands for grub before arch-chroot
# umount /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
# modprobe -r efivars
# modprobe efivars
Arch-chrooted, changed clock, changed hostname, changed passwd, then installed grub
# pacman -S grub efibootmgr
# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=arch_grub --recheck --debug
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Exited, unmouted, and rebooted
Grub arrives but of course Windows is missing. Windows boot is in sda2. I made sure by looking in gparted lol
At this point I booted installation media again and remounted
mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot
mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/boot/efi
mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/home
Did pre-grub stuff then arch-chrooted in and reinstalled the kernel and grub and grub config
# pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-3.xx-x.pkg.tar.gz for reinstalling the kernel in the chroot
At this point I rebooted but I forgot to regenerate the fstab. So I remounted everything the same way, deleted the fstab and regenerated it. The fstab looks ok when I log in. I also then reinstalled grub and made the config again.
This is where I am at now. I also get this weird issue when I shutdown, it immediately starts up again. I know this could be an issue with the Windows 8 fastboot, but I know I disabled that before I installed arch linux.
Any tips would be great. I'm not sure where to go from here.
And yes you're right it should be /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft. I have /boot/EFI/EFI/arch-grub but not Microsoft in there

Trouble With Grub - Setting up Triple Boot

Before I had Arch running on my desktop, I was using Ubuntu with Vista on the same disk and XP on another one. When I moved to Arch, I backed up menu.lst to preserve the entries, and installed Arch over the same partition that Ubuntu was on.
However, after I restored the entries for Vista and XP, I wasn't able to boot to them. A few weeks ago I absolutely had to do some work under windows, so I swapped out my XP disk and installed Vista on it, which got rid of the grub install in MBR and I used vista for about a week. I reinstalled Grab after that, and wasn't able to configure grub to boot to the new disk that had vista on it, only to Arch.
I'm more or less at a loss as to what may be wrong with my entries, the locations are correct but it just doesn't boot them for some reason.
Here is the output of fdisk -l:

[solved]Trouble with Grub

Hi,
I just installed Arch a few hours back. The only problem I had was the grub wouldnt install. My old grub(from ubuntu) is intact though it has no arch in the menu and it has a old Windows option(I deleted windows partition while installing arch, will install it later again).
I even edited the menu.lst from grub in ubuntu, but it still shows the old chart/list of OS. I'll post it here.
# menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)
# grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8),
# grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub
# and /usr/share/doc/grub-legacy-doc/.
## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
# WARNING: If you are using dmraid do not use 'savedefault' or your
# array will desync and will not let you boot your system.
default 0
## timeout sec
# Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry
# (normally the first entry defined).

Ok I saw that the /boot/grub/ doesnt have a grub.cfg, only menu.lst. Am really getting confused on what am supposed to edit, am guessing the grub.cfg from ubuntu but compared to menu.lst , grub.cfg is more complicated.

Trouble with booting system after upgrade udev= systemd

Hi everybody,
I have been trouble with my system since last upgrade (udev => systemd)
My issue is something like this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1106157 but advice from this discussion doesn't work.
When system booting, *immediately* (very fast, too fast) display login screen after start parsing hook [udev]
Of course, i can't login - type username and i have redraw screen again on all /dev/tty* - i have no chance to type password.
Many invalid logins suspend init for 5 minutes and allow me see display error due stop redraw screen - libpam.so.0 cannot find.
I suspect that, partitions aren't mount (this fast login screen doesn't have even hostname). I have a 4 discs, with many partitions - mounting
this take a some time (+- 5 secs).
In rescuecd, i can mount all partitions and chroot. In chroot all works fine - /bin/login (i was checked authorization on all users),
paths and pams are ok. Of course i try ,,default rescue trick'': `pacman -Suy linux udev mkinitcpio` and 'mkinitcpio -p linux' on rescuecd
but nothing it's changed after reboot. I checking grub config, and unpack and check initramfs-linux.img - all ok.
In my mkinitcpio.conf ofcourse i have MODULES="ext3" (for my filesystems).
Please help.

Logic tells me I'm safe (haven't rebooted yet), as / is "master", and anything else is a separate partition, and I have /usr on the same partition as /.
Do you guys have separate /usr and/or /boot partitions? As stated in first sentence this may not be related, but looks important...
It means separate from /. So yes, you're right, you are "safe" from having to do anything with this message on your system.
And to the other people on this thread: make sure you do have all your packages uniformly updated, including any pam-related AUR or ABS-build packages. libpam and the pam module directory (.../lib/security) were moved from /lib to /usr/lib a little while back, so make sure that anything that cares about where these may be have been updated so they aren't confused by this move.

Trouble with mounted partitions (root twice)

Since a few days ago, I'm experiencing troubles with my partitions, like / being mounted twice. I'm using systemd instead of Init, mtab is symlinked to /proc/self/mounts
df output:
rootfs 103212320 13629136 84340304 14% /
udev 10240 0 10240 0% /dev
run 10240 344 9896 4% /run
/dev/disk/by-uuid/11331a92-bb2a-4aa2-a376-de9c2d12d6a3 103212320 13629136 84340304 14% /
tmpfs 2011176 0 2011176 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 2011176 176 2011000 1% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs 2011176 0 2011176 0% /media
run 10240 344 9896 4% /var/lock
run 10240 344 9896 4% /var/run
/dev/sda1 369251368 61124056 289370348 18% /media/Akai-Data
As you can see, / is mounted twice.
my /proc/self/mounts looks like this (in fact, is):
http://pastebin.com/bLi22Cps
my partition layout inherit from the time where I had both Windows and Arch Linux installed (so I was low on free primary partitions) is: sda1 350 GB ext4, sda3 8 GB swap, sda4 98 GB ext4. So I have no /home and / in different partitions as sda1 is where I have all my data.
my /etc/fstab:
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
/dev/sda1 /media/Akai-Data ext4 defaults,realtime,data=writeback 0 2
/dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda4 / ext4 defaults,user_xattr,realtime,data=writeback 0 1
Also, my /tmp folder has not being cleaned in 5 days. ¿Does it not supposed to be cleaned at every boot/shutdown (I have booted few times in five days)?
So, my troubles here are:
/ is mounted twice, and /tmp is not being cleaned. Any clue on this?
Also, to me, my/proc/self/mounts seems weird, aside from the fact that I think there is why / is mounted twice. Could someone check that?
Thank you in advance.

The only place I have found that is on my /boot/burg/burg.cfg file:
linux /boot/vmlinuz26-pf root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/11331a92-bb2a-4aa2-a376-de9c2d12d6a3 ro fastboot quiet logo.nologo resume=/dev/sda3 init=/sbi/e4rat-preload
But as far as I can remember, that has been always there since I started using burg instead of grub (half of a mont ago, maybe more). And never got troubles with that.
Also, rc.local has everything comented out
EDIT: have I to assume that the burg entry is leading to troubles?

I have been having a lot of trouble with the latest itunes update and my ipod classic 80Gb i.e. being unable to sync songs, but now i have no files at all on my ipod, it is completely blank when i view it from my computer. I need help, please, anybody.

As it says above, i have been having a lot f trouble with my ipod classic and the latest itunes update, i was unable to sync songs or anything to it and have tried every conceivable 'fix' i could find. i have run an itunes diagnostic and the results are posted below. a major problem is that when i try and view my ipod through my computer it displays nothing at all on the ipod, no files or anything, this may be the problem but i have no idea how it has happened or how i could resolve it.
This ipod holds huge sentimental value and i am loathe to buy a new one! If anybody can help it is greatly appreciated, than kyou in advanced.

Searching on the web, most results I found lead to this page, where it is said that the problem is due to badly tuned overcurrent protection, and advocated that unplugging and switching off the computer for a little while gets things back into normal. This does not really work for me; the problem seems to occur more randomly, unfortunately with high probability (my camera is available after less than one boot out of ten).
I tried to ensure that the ehci-hcd module is loaded at boot with the ignore-oc option (with a file in /etc/module-load.d/), to no avail.
I also wrote a script which alternatively removes and reloads the ehci-pci driver until my device is found in lsusb. It is sometimes helpful, but usually not. And even when my device is found that way, it can only be used for a while before disappearing again.
Anyway, such a hack is unacceptable... So, my questions are:
is it indeed related to overcurrent protection ?
is there anything else I can try ?
should I file somewhere an other of the numerous bug reports about "unable to enumerate USB device" already existing ?
If of any importance, I am running linux 3.15.7, because at the time I installed my system, I couldn't get the hybrid graphic card Intel/AMD working under 3.16.

Hello Sue,
I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

Trouble with OR in where clause

Hello,
I'm having trouble with execution speed. The problem seems to be with using OR in my where clause.
Here's the meat of the function where i_pledge_number is an input parm:
BEGIN
SELECT /*+ INDEX (pp) */ SUM(pp.prim_pledge_amount)
INTO return_amount
FROM
primary_pledge pp
WHERE
-- Get total if multiple allocations
pp.prim_pledge_number IN
(SELECT pc.pledge_number
FROM pledge_codes pc
WHERE pc.pledge_code_type = 'M'
AND pc.pledge_code = 'AC'
AND lpad(pc.pledge_comment,10,'0') = i_pledge_number)
-- Get total if single allocation
OR pp.prim_pledge_number = i_pledge_number;
RETURN return_amount;
END;
If I comment out either half of the OR statement (either the subquery or the pp.prim_pledge_number = i_pledge_number half) the function returns a value in .02 seconds. If I leave the OR in, it takes 2.764 seconds to execute?? Can someone please show me a better way (faster) to do this? I tried using nvl() around the subquery but couldn't get it to compile.
Thanks

These things are difficult to diagnose remotely, but here is something you can try....
SELECT */ SUM(pp.prim_pledge_amount)
INTO return_amount
FROM   primary_pledge pp
WHERE pp.prim_pledge_number IN (SELECT pc.pledge_number
                                 FROM pledge_codes pc
                                 WHERE pc.pledge_code_type = 'M'
                                 AND pc.pledge_code = 'AC'
                                 AND lpad(pc.pledge_comment,10,'0') = i_pledge_number
UNION ALL
SELECT i_pledge_number FROM dual)
   RETURN return_amount;
END;If that doesn't do anything (and it might well not) there are a large number of different ways we can recast this query. To save us further guessing please give us more details: execution plans, database version number, volumetrics.
Cheers, APC

A trouble with "LIKE" in a select statement

Hi!
I'm having trouble with "LIKE" in a select statement...
With Access I can make the following and everything works well:
SELECT name, birthday
FROM client
WHERE birthday LIKE '*/02/*';
but if try to do it in my application (it uses Access), it doesn't work - I just can't understand that!!!
In my application the "month" is always the currently month taken from the "System". Look what I'm doing...
String query1 = "SELECT name, birthday " +
          "FROM client " +
          "WHERE birthday " +
          "LIKE '*/" +
          pMonth +
          "/*' " +
          "ORDER BY birthday ASC ";
ResultSet rs = statement1.executeQuery(consulta1);
boolean moreRecords = rs.next();
The variable "moreRecords" is always "false", the query returns nothing although the table "client" has records that attend the query.
Please, anyone can help me?! It's a little bit urgent.
Thanks,
Katia.

Hi Katia,
I'll bet the problem lies with the characters you're using to escape the LIKE clause. You're using the ones that Access likes to see, but that's not necessarily what's built into the JDBC-ODBC driver class.
You can find out what the correct escape wildcard characters are from the java.sql.DatabaseMetaData.getSearchStringEscape() method. It'll tell you what to use in the LIKE clause.
I'm not 100% sure about your code. It doesn't use query1 anywhere. I'd do this:
String query = "SELECT name, birthday FROM client WHERE birthday LIKE ? ORDER BY birthday ASC";
PreparedStatement statement = connection.createStatement(query);
String escape = connection.getMetaData().getSearchStringEscape();
String test = escape + '/' + pMonth + '/' + escape;
statement.setString(1, test);
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery();
while (rs.hasNext())
// load your data into a data structure to pass back.
rs.close();
statement.close();Let me know if that works. - MOD

(Trouble printing) Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510.

Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510. (Nothing Prints).
I have a Macbook Pro and am having difficulty printing documents from ‘Pages' from my Hp Deskjet 1510. I have installed the necessary software for the printer and it is connected via USB. Every time I try to print the printer icon comes up as it should, 'printing' and then 'job completed' and then the icon disappears. (Nothing is printed.) I thought it might be something to do with Pages compatibility with the printer but exporting the document to Word or making it a PDF doesn’t change anything. I don’t have Microsoft Word on my computer. The scanner does work and when I printed a ‘Test Page’ that worked too.
Let me know if you know why this is happening.

With these settings the network now works flawlessly, however, when i have my ethernet cable plugged in, my internet access via my airport card(on the macbook pro) is no longer available. Hoping you can tell me why this would be with this info i've provided.
Educated guess. The networking devices have priorities as to which are used. The standard order is that Ethernet has a higher priority than Airport.
While your Ethernet is unplugged it is inactive and the Mac ignores it. Once you plug it in, the Mac sees that it is active and switches traffic to that interface.
I actually take advantage of this feature at home, but configuring my Airport and Ethernet with identical fixed IP addresses. Normally I'll use Airport, but if I'm copying a huge file and I want faster performance, I'll just walk my MacBook (previously iBook, previously Powerbook) over to my Ethernet switch and plug in my MacBook. Magically, the Mac detects that the Ethernet is active and continues the file transfer uninterrupted over the faster 100baseT Ethernet connection. When the transfer is finished, or if I really need to move back to the Comfy Chair, I unplug the Ethernet cable, and all activity reverts back to the Airport, all without disrupting any existing networking connections.
You on the other hand have totally different settings for your Ethernet and your Airport, so when you switch to Ethernet, you basically loose your Airport connections.
Something you can try:
System Preferences -> Network
Gear icon on the bottom left, next to the [+] [-] icons.
Select *Set Service Order...*
Now Drag the network interfaces into the perfer priority order you want. In this case put Airport above Ethernet.
NOTE: You may want to create a new Network Location for this, instead of messing with your normal home Location (which is most likely the default Automatic. That way you have your original you can always fall back to.

Edge Animation having troubles with iOS devices within Muse Site

Hi All! I've been creating a mobile version of my website www.rinkdesigns.com and have it all complete. I created an animation/navigation bar within Adobe Edge Animate and imported it into Muse. It functions AMAZINGLY on my Nexus 4 (Android) in Chrome but on a buddies iPhone 5 Chrome only loads about 3/4 of the animation/nav bar, in Safari the animation does not load at all and half of the page background does not load either. Please check out the preview site here http://rinkdesignsmobile.businesscatalyst.com/phone
Has anyone else been having animation/mobile troubles with iOS devices? Any hints as to how you fixed your errors would be extremely helpful! I also posted this question in the Muse forum and haven't gotten a response...
Thanks,
John

Or, how about this:
Does anyone know how to have Edge Animate objects that utilize "_top" in an open url trigger make the Muse site that they are a part of open a new window/tab with that action (as opposed to having it open the url in the current page, or using "_blank" in the trigger)?

Trouble with 3rd party VST installs for Garageband, can't find instruments

Hi,
I am having trouble with Audio Units for Garageband when installing 3rd party software, VSTs, loops, instruments. I have more issues with Logic Pro. I am hoping that it is the same underlying issue and that I am just missing something. I have the manuals (not great for troubleshooting). I am confused with some installs use User Library and others use the Computer Library. I do go to the mfgs sites for updates. The installs sometimes work as standalones but I don't see ALL of the components of the software in say Garageband or Logic. Mostly, I am missing the "instruments" and "loops" that I want to access within the DAW. Some examples:
• Here is some of the software I am talking about: East West sample libraries (Play and Native Instruments); Vienna Symphonic librarires; Sylenth1 (just last night); Sample Tank 2 and Total Workstation 2 from IK Multimedia and others.
• In GB I see the Audio Units for Vienna, Play, Sylenth, some of the IK Multimedia but NOT any instruments when I go to the "Sound Generator" -- I seem to be missing the instruments and loops. I see less AUs in Logic Pro. Some of these are VST instruments.
• Can I just drag-drop samples to the library folders to fix this?
• The plug-ins do not seem to work (though Sylenth1 worked for a single sound). When there is a standalone app (as in Sample Tank), I finally got the "sounds" to be reinstalled and loaded, those sounds/samples don't show up in any DAW.
• When and if the sounds/loops/samples show up in GB's "Instruments" section will I be able to tell that they belong to that particular software or library?
Thanks in advance.
John

Found the answer myself, it was simple:
• Select the Track
• Show the Instrument (info area)
• Click on Edit
• Click on the "Sound Generator" pop up field.
• At the bottom of the pop-up list, select from the Audio Units that you have installed. This is where you see "Sample Tank 2, Vienna Instruments..."
• NEXT -- IMPORTANT: CLICK ON THE PICTURE next to the Sound Generator pop-up field.The AU unit loads up, the interface pops up, you load up the instruments in this AU Unit. You do NOT see the sounds from the AU unit in the normal Apple instrument list.
This was not intuitive but once you know it, fairly simple.
Still, the devil is in the details -- more questions on the way.

I'm having trouble with something that redirects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC. It's called the 'going on earth' virus. Do you have a fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?

I'm having trouble with a virus or something which affects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC ...
When I search a topic gives me pages of links as normal, but when I click on a link, the page is hijacked to a site called 'www.goingonearth.com' ...
I've done a separate search and found that other users are affected, but there doesn't seem to be a clear-cut solution ... (Norton, McAfee and Kaspersky don't seem to be able to detect/fix it).
I'd like to continue using the Firefox/Google combination (nb: the hijack virus also affects IE but not Safari) - do you have a patch/fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?
thanks
