General :: Arch Disk Check Keeps Spitting Out Strange Error's After Installing BT / Fix It?
May 10, 2010
I don't know were this goes so I'm just gonna put it here
Basically earlier today i figured i wanted to try out backtrack 4 but I could only have a maximum of 4 partitions on an hd at a time.
So i deleted my partition that contained my arch home directory (didn't really have any data on it and i figured i could just make a new one later) to create an extended partition to put backtrack on. Well all went well except now when I select arch instead of backtrack i get a disk check error.
This is the first part of the error, I can't exactly copy and paste it as its on my laptop. code...
Recently I installed Arch on my computer. There are now three systems on it:XP,Ubuntu,Arch.I choose to share the same disk space for swap and /home in the two systems.The installation went well except some problems with Grub, and I managed to made it work. These days,when I start my computer and choose Ubuntu,there always displays a short message about /home disk checking or some problems about fstab. I don't know why. When I login to the system, it works well all the time.
The first problem is that I cannot use the Arch repository. Every time I try to, it brings up a "no address record" error. I have configured my network interface properly and can ping www.google.com and receive a whole load of crap. Definitely working. Whats wrong?
The second problem is that the boot-up process hangs for a very long time at "Starting Network." This make my boot of Arch just as slow as *buntu! WTF? Whats wrong there? Aside from that, I am unhappy that my Ethernet card is not detected but thats another question. The only ting I am pleased with right now is the speed of the system, and the fact that I used 4 different file systems on 7 different partitions without a hitch.
I have a computer I recently uninstalled the operating system from and was wanting to use Linux Ubuntu. After burning the cd and trying to install it to the computer it gives me "Invalid System Disk, Replace then disk and press any key." I am unsure how to start this and I am not even sure if I have all the files, I need to install the Linux Ubuntu 10.04 operating system step by step.
Warning: Do not edit /etc/sudoers directly with an editor; Errors in syntax can cause annoyances (like rendering the root account unusable). You must use the visudo command to edit /etc/sudoers. In the previous section we added your user to the "wheel" group. To give users in the wheel group full root privileges when they precede a command with "sudo", uncomment the following line:
%wheelALL=(ALL) ALL
so i signed in as root and typed in visudo now i alreayd made the changes but how do i exit and save super+x doesnt seem to do it for me since im not using nano and not supposed to cause it causes errors
I'm having problems loading compiz-fusion or the settings with my nvidia driver, or driver itself. Basically, I installed Arch (in vmware) then ran: pacman -Syu, pacman -S libgl xorg mesa xf86-video-vesa hal xf86-input-evdev xf86-input-mouse xf86-input-keyboard compiz-fusion alsa alsa-util nvidia I've also added a user. I'm following the wiki guide but I'm not sure where to go from here. here's the error messages:
[URL]
basically it says that my nvidia driver is incorrect or isn't configured properly. I have an Nvidia 7300gt btw, does anybody know which driver I should be using? [URL] This one should work, I'm not sure what I'm doing incorrectly. it still says $DISPLAY not set when I type startx/ccsm/fusion-icon. And alos when I run pacman -S nvidia, is it downloading version 195.36.24? [URL]
I download the live 64 and burned it to a disk after it burns to the disk Brasero checks and says "error some files could be corrupted." I burn it slowest burn same thing happen. I downloaded thinking I had a corrupted download. Same thing happen. I never had a problem burning iso until now. What am I doing wrong?
I need to uninstall kde fom pacman so I do this: When I go to "pacman -R kde" it says "checking dependencies" Then "error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) ":: kdeplasma-addons-libs: requires kdebase-workspace" So how do I fix this so that I can uninstall kde?
after installing Ubuntu on one WD 500 GB hard disk and after making mistake and pasting wrong code into Terminal:my OTHER WD 500 GB hard disk that was also in the system (I guess it was "hd1") - died.The problem must be, I guess, I typed wrong code: "hd1,1" instead of "hd0,0".)500 GB (NTFS) of data was on that other (non-Ubuntu) hard disk, and now I can not access it anymore. While booting, system gives "Hard Disk Error" warning and stops.One again: I installed Ubuntu od one hard disk and at the end of instalation I pasted wrong code for GRUB, giving address of another hard disk. Now that other hard disk has error and will not work
I am dual booting XP and ubuntu, and everytime i want to go to XP through GRUB, and every time a Windows Disk Check apears. How can i stop this? I've set my hard drive partions to 50/50 (20GB on each side)so could that be the problem?
Whenever I remove my external Freeagent Go USB external harddrive my mouse and keyboard stops responding and all I can do after that is hard-reboot pressing the key on the cabinet.It happened when external harddrive was connected while a powercut, though drive works fine when ever I disconnect it mouse and keyboard stops functioning and I have to hard reboot machine again.
I have doubts regarding storage: How to configure the Events of Storage Processor? What are performance issues will come daily in a critical production server? What are first steps for disk performance Check? What are first steps for Storage Processor performance Check? What are first steps for MetaLUN performance Check?
I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 without any visible issues. But after a few days system started to behave strange - first it shows the message that gnome-power-manager is not correctly installed on login screen. The it wasn't able to log in even - so I found that problem might be that it shows not enough space on the root partition.This is really strange for me - I do not have any special data there.
See what I have after df command: /dev/sda2 9614148 8618864 506908 95% / none 1024128 360 1023768 1% /dev
I am using sda1 as /, which is a bootable drive. I do not know if my problem is that I did not create a /boot drive. After removing the iso dvd, I tried to reboot and I get this back: -bash: /sbin/reboot: input/output error Then it returns me to the terminal prompt.
Is there a way to disable disk checks in a mounted usb drive? I have a 500GB usb mounted drive in my CentOS machine and everytime I reboot my system, it does disk checks which is a long painstaking process. /mnt/sdb1
Is there a command to check specific processes that's using the most IO/disk usage? I know sar and ps but I want more specific details on IO on individual processes
I just did the pacman -Syu command today since i have had limited access to internet i could use with arch lately, (been tethering via droid which is only compatible in ubuntu) The command line works fine, i even reinstalled X to see if that was the problem,whenever i do startx it loads up for a second but before my xfce screen even pops up the screen blinks and blackens.
I have installed windows xp (service pack 2) on my pc. later i formatted a partition (drive E and installed ubuntu linux 8.04. I have provided 2gb space for SWAP partition and remaining for root (/).I have done this manually. Installation was completed, and ubuntu asked me to reboot the system. I did so.
Now comes my problem. I am getting some DHCP connection or some thing weird. after that i am getting a message ......and with a message asking me to press any key. the same thing is coming even after restarting the system....i am unable to see both windows and linux now!
I'm very new to linux and running debian 4.0. On boot got an error:
I did a ghost image of drive before I do any more damage and when performing the ghost, ghost stated I need to run fsck. I created the image and noticed that a lot of folders were missing (bin, boot and others).
1. How do I run check disk from an boot disk? 2. Is there something else I should consider?
i installed arch-core-64bit or i thought i did and when i restarted it i got the error error: file not found grub rescue> i have gotten this error before and got around it buy just reinstalling the OS but now when i try to set the booting device to CD i get the same error and when i try to set it to usb i get a error saying disk error. could this be because my usb not formatted to arch's liking? well any way that's not my big problem my big problem is the fact that i do not know how to reinstall the OS i have searched for a couple days and still have no idea how to get this accomplished.
When ever I install software it seems to install ok but when I run it all the menus are in another language and I can't understand it this has become very frustrating, I have gone to system / preferances / appearance and tried to change the font through there but it still seems to happen when I install software from synaptic package installer. so some of the software I have running on here like open office ect is impossible to read.
I have windows and linux distros on my /dev/sda. I tried to install fedora 13, but after reboot I cannot boot up to any of installed systems. I'm getting: Non-System disk or disk errorreplace and striky any key when readyWhen I use ubuntu 10, boot from first hard disk, I'm able to get GNU GRUB version 1.98...nd boot up to any system. but without ubuntu in a cd-rom I'm getting this error.I tried: grub-install /dev/sdX in one of my installed linux distros, but without any success.
Is there a way to stop kbuildsycoca4, and klauncher from spitting messages over all over my console windows every time I start a kde program from the console? I absolutely hate it when I'm typing a command and suddenly I get a million messages from kbuildsyscoca/klauncher and can no longer see what I was typing.For examlpe redirecting kate stderr to /dev/null, you'll still get messages from klauncher, and kbuildsyscoca4. Is there a way to silence this garbage for good?
I can't my system because of this error: Code: linux-firmware: /lib/firmware/radeon/R700_rlc.bin exists in filesystem Note that in the beginning, it asks:
Code: :: Replace kernel26-firmware with core/linux-firmware? [Y/n] There are so many updates by now that the list fills in a few pages in the terminal! Also, I wonder why so many Arch updates get stuck or broken compared to almost any other distro? Is it poorly designed packages? Is it a design flaw in pacman/the package format?
