I own a usb wifi card and it works great in Ubuntu.But,when i installed Arch linux on a separate hard drive, I could not get the wireless working.So,I am wondering if it is possible to take the firmware from the kernel on my Ubuntu machine and transfer it over to the arch machine? Here is the info on the device:

I am trying to get DVDStyler (version 1.8.2.1) to work on my Arch system.As soon as I try to create an ISO, burn a DVD, etc, it crashes with the following message:
Code:

I don't have a clue about how to start fixing this,
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've recently installed the latest release of Archlinux. Setup is fine, but i'm having trouble setting up the wireless connection. Let me just start by saying I can get the wireless working without any security at all, so I know it's working fine. When I installed Arch I selected the base packages and the base-devil? base-daemon? packages, and made sure that every package relating to the internet or wireless was selected and installed.
Setup:
ASUS Pro50n series Notebook
Wireless Security: WPA-PSK
I have read the beginners guide wiki, and from that I have read the wireless setup wiki, which lead me onto the wpa_supplicant configuration for WPA-PSK security. In my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file I have the following:

How do I install Broadcom Wi-Fi on Arch Linux in command line mode on an Acer eMachines EM350?
I assume that Broadcom STA should be the driver used and my USB key the way to install it with the help of another PC, assuming that I can't use a RJ45 ethernet connection on LAN.
installing arch. have a logibn screen that asks for login. root as login and password. where is the desktop screen!

My Arch Linux can't update for over a few weeks now! It just says that everything is up to date and quits. But I hardly believe there weren't any updates, before there were a few updates a day!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI like Arch so far. The first time I installed Arch, everything went fine. I had a good openbox/SLIM configuration, but for some reason I just got a black screen w/ a mouse that didn't move whenever I tried to use the radeon driver (which works with my card). Anyways, I uninstalled Arch and reinstalled Fedora, but after my second attempt to install Arch (I have nothing better to do), arch suddenly wouldn't boot at all after a netinstall. Doing a core install went fine, but when I tried to update it and reboot, the same thing happened as the netinstall: The screen goes on standby and the CPU is spiked at %100 (I know this because my fan goes to full speed when the CPU jumps up too high - long story).
Not even doing that Skinny Elephants trick worked, so I'm guessing it was a complete kernel panic. I don't exactly know how to check for logs when the system is unbootable, but in retrospect I coulda just booted into a livecd. I just looked in /var/log of a recent Arch install on this computer, and there doesn't seem to be anything there. A file called 'lastlog', but I'm not sure it's anything. I can't open it with gedit or cat, so I'm assuming it's a garbage file. Adding 'nomodprobe' into menu.lst in Arch allowed it to boot, but I could only use the vesa driver with Xorg (using radeon caused a black screen showing only a cursor), which isn't ideal.
On a new Dell Lattitude e6400, I have installed both arch and Ubuntu. Ubuntu recognized wifi and ethernet right away and connected and is working fine, but in arch, I am having more problems then I usually do when using arch. From the output of lspci the ethernet is a intel device 1502, I have researched this and found it to need the e1000e module as its driver. I modprobed this module sucessfully, but no ethernet. With wlan, i have found that the card is a DW1501 Wireless-N WLAN Half-Mini Card that has a broadcom 4727 chip in it. I downloaded the windows driver for this chip and isntalled it with ndiswrapper but this did not help. What I think is the root of the problem is the error message that restarting networking creates.

Dell only supplies drivers for ubuntu, but it should still be possible to get this to work. I have tried booting various live distros that I had drives for and I found that the parted magic boot disk saw the ethernet port and was able to connect to ethernet, and that the ubuntu live disk was able to connect to both wifi and ethernet. Somehow they must be seeing the prescense of the hardware in a way that I have not tried with arch. Please help, I really need to get this computer workign with arch.
I noticed that the clock in the FVWM taskbar displays UTC instead of my local time. And when I execute the date command, it shows the time zone as UTC. I wonder how to set it to display my local time zone?

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?

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.
Earlier today I was reading a webpage while installing an application when suddenly my harddrive starting reading/writing like crazy and my screen practically locked up. I went to tty1 and did "top" to see if there was a single application causing some horrible infinite loop or eating too much memory. Nothing stuck out, so I rebooted my machine. While it was rebooting (since it was still being slow), I looked at the "Mem:" line from "top" and saw that even the 4 GB of swap was exceeded by an entire GB. As of writing this, I only have 20MB of available cache, and it occasionally dips as low as 8MB.
I've done some searching online, and I'm seeing people complaining about X using 250MB of the available memory, and mine is far worse (mine is using a little over 1GB of memory). Some were saying that it is caused by KDE effects (mine are disabled). code...
Just what it says in the title.
I can work in a 32-bit VirtualBox VM, but it's very inconvenient and I would rather work in my 64-bit desktop if that's not too difficult.

View 1 Replies View RelatedRecently 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.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm thinking of dual-booting Ubuntu 10.10 and Arch Linux. It seems that I'll have to do some editing of the grub.cfg file, but I have seen numerous warnings not to do so. After a bit of poking around, I've heard about a script that does the editing for you built in to Linux (or maybe just Ubuntu).
My questions are:
- If the aforementioned script does exist, how do I use it?
- else if it doesn't exist, how do I not directly edit grub.cfg?
Firstly im a linux newbie so try and bear with me, and make any advice clear anywho Ive been running ubuntu for a while on a single partition. Ive recently been looking into other distros and came across arch linux. As i installed arch it was recommended that you create partitions for various directories, such as boot, tmp etc.
Ive read the advantages of this and would now like to set ubuntu up in a similar fashion, alongside arch. Whats the 'best' way to do this. Can ubuntu use the partitions set up by arch? Will i have to reinstall ubuntu? eh i dont know if my question makes sense since its late here and its a topic i know little about. To put it simply: how do you create a multi-partitioned system running both ubuntu and arch
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.
