I don't know what command line utilities are available for you on your MAC, but it seems your first step is to make sure that the card you have is, indeed VFAT, and that it can be written to. Are there equivalents of fsck.vfat and gparted on the MAC? You might look at it with those and post the outp...

Whenever keystrokes don't work, also check what $DISPLAY is for your terminal session. You can always reset it manually on command line with DISPLAY=:1 (or whatever you want it to be). I have it set in my .bashrc for the display I want to use in general, and then reset it by hand when need be. And a...

follow the instructions to add -l, your output was cut off without full information. if the full output does not tell you, another approach is to install strace and use it to start mysqld and see what is going wrong using the output. strace shows all the system calls for the desired command. I do no...

Which ArchLInux Wiki page? I don't find any references to "lw" in Linux or the Arch Wiki pages. Where did you see it mentioned to begin with?

sdjf

This kind of trouble could be due to an inadequate power supply, or inadequate memory/cpu for the task at hand.

USB is pretty weak on the model B, I don't know if it is any better on the B+.

What do you have attached to your Pi, and what are you using for a power supply? Are you sure it is enough?

sdjf

I have seen both types of things happen. My wild guess about events being out of order is that if the system is busy writing something long, and another event happens during that write, that second event will be able to write to the log when the other is done. At least, that is my impression. If you...

I am visiting the forum in a text browser, without access to images. Copying and pasting output is more accessible to people using text browsers and screen readers. I do not know how to do what you want using netctl, but take a look at the profile in /etc/netctl and change the settings to match your...

sdjf

Don't you need to be going through netctl for this? I am not able to read your output on that other website, but take a look at the default profile in /etc/netctl and see if it might be interfering with what you are trying to do.

Not all hubs deliver the power they claim to deliver. You will know if your hub is delivering enough power if you test the actual power on the Pi with a multimeter between TP1 and TP2. It has to be between 4.75 and 5.25. Another possibility is a bad cable, or loose USB socket. My Pi had lots of trou...

What that means is you need to install the driver using pacman, it is available. pacman -Syu dkms-8192cu if that one does not work, you could certainly try the others you can find with pacman using the following command. but it looks like the right one pacman -Ss dkms there is one output with 8188 i...

IT would help if you posted the lsusb output showing the product and manufacturer IDs. Those have to match up with a driver in the modules alias file. BUt if this is not a regular arch image, your files won't necessarily be the same as ours. I am running an older version because of some apps that ar...

THere is another problem with that general ArchLinux beginner's guide you linked to - it was NOT written for the raspberry pi. The basic commands are the same, but the Arch Linux Arm distribution for the Pi has a whole lot of stuff pre-set when pepedog makes those images for us, and trying to follow...

sdjf

Interesting. Package name in Arch for that is apparently xorg-server-xvfb

sdjf

Post the lsusb for it, the vendor and product IDs can then be checked in the alias modules file, to see if the driver is already built in. have you tried using it on arch? have you looked at logs or dmesg to see what the Pi says about it? What is the driver name in raspbian?

sdjf

Pacman is a package manager, not a utility for downloading scripts. I do recall that yaourt used to be in the repository, not sure why they stopped keeping it there. Except as Pepedog says, yaourt really is not a binary package but a collection of scripts. EDIT: to be more clear: pacman only works w...

sdjf

Try googling for the Arch Linux page about netctl and look at the files in /etc/netctl, you will want to edit the one that fits your setup so it works properly.

You might need to also declare the screen size in the lxde startup configuration. To find out where that is, try running the following, it might show you where lxde is started from and you could add the geometry there. ps aux | grep lxde IF that does not help, poke around ~/.config and files in /etc...

You mentioned trouble CTRL-ALT-2'ing to another terminal. But did not say what sort - in case you did not know, you have to log in to the other terminal, it won't do anything if you do not log in. Contents of $DISPLAY indicate where any GUI stuff has to go, and it can be different for different user...

sdjf

Booting without a monitor, lots of us do that, and just ssh in to our pi's. if you don't want to use xvnc to get an xserver running, maybe you could use different software for generating the sound you want? Have you looked into using commandline sound utilities instead? I know I thought it was a was...

Welcome to Linux!!! What I always do if my system does not have a required configuration file, is create one! I hunt the internet for one that looks like it is basic, and put a copy where it belongs. In this case, you can copy the original poster's config file, or here is what is in mine: rpi# cat /...

If the power went out during the upgrade, you have a mess on your hands and the best way thing to do is to dd the image again and start over - and this time, watch things closely. Over at the Pi subforum at archlinuxarm.org, some folks were having trouble with pacman and upgrades, but my understandi...

I am not sure about permissions, as I am running as root, but your logs are in the /var/log directory. You can either point a browser to that directory, or read the logs with command line commands like "more" or "less". Too see what all the logs are in your /var/log, you would type: ls -l /var/log/*...

sudo rights do not cover every command issued, not without their being invoked with sudo each time. have you tried starting the command with sudo at the start of the line? by the way, I have no experience with mariaDB or the latest image, this is just based on my own experience on another linux syst...

Power surge??? If you have things set up via a powered hub that back feeds power, that could do cause Pi to crash and reboot. But you really should not be unplugging the drive without properly unmounting the file system. If you have logging enabled, you might see the kworker or something else going ...

when your wifi is up and running, run ifconfig to see what the interface is called at that point. that has to match what you have in the profile.
