Can't install openSUSE 13.2 from USB - linuxrc launches - linux

OK, so I would like to install openSUSE 13.2 64bit with my USB (want to install it, not to use LiveCD - so i downloaded installation 4.7GB iso). I have used Universal USB Installer 1.9.5.7 to create installation media. Everything worked without problem. When I boot from it, first a openSUSE screen shows up with options Install, Upgrade, Something-I-Don't-Remember and Check installation media. If I choose Install, terminal shows and at the end it says that it is launching "openSUSE installation program". After that, a graphically stunning screen with header "linuxrc" (seems to be responsible for launching installer) shows up and asks me to insert installation media and then press Yes to continue. If I click yes, it shows again, if I click no, it shows me another screen with options Install, Check disk integrity, Reboot and so on... I choose install and it asks for source medium. Options are CD/Network/HDD. However, I want to install it from an USB.
So, my question is: What am I doing wrong? Because I got that feeling that after choosing Install in the first screen (that one with openSUSE background), something else should happen instead of showing up linuxrc. Like launching or whatever. Or should I use another app to "burn" my ISO on USB?

Ok i just managed to make it work.
I am using ISO downloaded today morning (5.November 2014 at 13:11) and ImageWriter ( http://www.mediafire.com/download/9haeauu9sq8xtkx/ImageWriter.exe ). And it seems to work. If you get error about writeToDisk, close the program and launch it as Administrator (i mean it, right click and select run as administrator, it asks you for admin password even if you launch it with doubleclick but it won't work). Then find your file (it shows only *.*raw files in open dialog so you will have to just start writing iso file name in Open bar), choose right device and it will do the hard work. If it finishes with "Sucess" message box, restart PC and boot from USB. Then select Installation.

How can I fix Eclipse IDE interface on a Chromebook?

I've successfully installed Eclipse IDE on my HP Chromebook x360 14c, which has Linux Debian. When the installation finished, I got a message on the terminal, talking about the webkit. And when I tried to launch the program, I saw the buttons broken. Fortunately, there was an update button that fixed that up. The IDE opened and I worked well. The second time I try to use it, the buttons and general interface are all broken. You can see the pictures attached to this post. Can anybody give me some help?broken linux interface

How to configure Mabinogi to run in Lutris?

I'm attempting to play Mabinogi by Nexon on Linux Mint 20 (Ulyana) using Lutris. I've previously used Lutris to play Heroes of the Storm but otherwise don't have much experience with it (or with gaming on Linux, in general). There's no installer on the Lutris website for Mabinogi like there was for Heroes of the Storm, so I was on my own to try and figure everything out.
What I've tried
I started by downloading the Nexon Launcher Installer from their website. I configured Lutris to launch this executable using Wine within a simulated Windows environment. When it first launched I noticed several files were created ("drive_c", "Program Files", "Users", etc -- mimicking a Windows file system). The launcher installer ran without issue and I installed the launcher to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Nexon"
I then re-configured Lutris to try and launch the Nexon Launcher instead of the Nexon Launcher Installer. When I hit "Play" in Lutris, nothing happened. Running ps -ax | grep "Nexon" showed that it was theoretically running, but there was no window or visible UI even after several minutes of waiting. I checked the Lutris logs and noticed a message about a file missing (something like "10000.manifest.hash"). I Google'd this error and found plenty of people in Windows who had trouble running the Nexon Launcher with the same error, and the solution was to just install Mabinogi through Steam.
So next I downloaded the "Wine Steam" runner in Lutris and set this as the runner for Mabinogi, plugging in the app ID (212200). After Steam installed, launched, logged in, and downloaded Mabinogi I tried to launch the game. This time I saw a window pop up saying "Mabinogi is launching" and in the bottom-right the Nexon Game Security icon popped up, but then everything closed and the game never started.
Finally out of desperation I tried setting up a virtual computer using VirtualBox to play the game in its native Windows environment. I installed Windows 7 (the minimum required version according to the Nexon website). I downloaded Mabinogi through Steam on the virtual box. Upon trying to launch Mabinogi, I received the error error: "api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing". I'm curious if this error is related to why I couldn't get Mabinogi working in Lutris.
Looking at a game that I had previously played in Lutris (Heroes of the Storm), I noticed a very similar DLL was listed in the "DLL overrides" section: "api-ms-win-crt-private-l1-1-0.dll". So I tried adding the runtime DLL to the overrides in Mabinogi with the same value ("n,b") - but this didn't work.
Looking at the Lutris logs when I try to launch Mabinogi through Wine Steam, there are several errors from \main\game-launch.js:109. I'm not sure if this JS script is part of Lutris of part of the Nexon Launcher, but it could provide some hints. Among the logs the following lines stand out as potentially meaningful:
...
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/$LIB/libgamemodeauto.so.0' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.
...
fixme:d3d12_get_vk_physical_device: Could not find Vulkan physical device for DXGI adapter.
fixme:d3d12_device_caps_init_feature_options1: TotalLaneCount = 2560, may be inaccurate.
...
warn: OpenVR: Failed to locate module
...
What I don't know
I'm not familiar with using Wine and I've never written a Lutris installer. Up until now I've only ever run Linux binaries on Linux and Windows binaries on Windows. So there's a lot I don't understand, like: What's Vulkan? What's DXVK? How do "override DLLs" work? Do I need to provide alternative DLLs for anything I want to override? What does the value "n,b" mean in the DLL override?
I'm welcome to any help
After a lot of work and research, I've gotten as far as I can and figured out where the major road block lies. The simple answer is: You cannot run Mabinogi in Lutris
Mabinogi uses an anti-cheat system that runs in kernel mode (ring 0). Wine runs in user mode (ring 3) and therefore cannot run this anti-cheat program.
The only solution is to play Mabinogi within a virtual machine (e.g. VirtualBox), since VMs run on a hypervisor (which from my understanding is kind of like a "negative" ring number, but effectively ring 0)
If you want to try some other Nexon games, I got the Nexon Launcher working in Lutris / Wine fairly easily. The trick was to download the latest Nexon Launcher since the older one (linked on the Mabinogi website) isn't sending a valid request to download the manifest file so it gets a 403. The latest launcher can be downloaded here: https://games.nexon.net/nexonlauncher

dnf.exceptions.error some packages from local repository have incorrect checksum

I am trying to install redhat (rhel8) in virtualBox 6.1 on a windows 10 64 bit Home edition machine.
I verified the checksum of the iso file after download and its correct (I compared the checksum against another friend iso file who is able to install properly), still I am getting exception like
dnf.exceptions.error some packages from local repository have incorrect checksum
I even tried to run troubleshooting, but it raise exceptin like
failed to start media check on /dev/sr0 virtualbox
I have downloaded the iso files from multiple places and every time it gives me the same exception.
Any help is highly aprreciated.
Finally I found the reason for the above error.
Virtual Box uses virtualization to run multiple Operating Systems and in one system (let's say a windows machine) only one of the application will be allowed to use system virtualization capability.
So we have to disable any manual virtualization if performed in the system.
So we can disable virtualization by following ways:
Search for “Turn Windows features on or off” in the Start menu, hit
the Enter key to open the Windows Features window. Here, scroll down
to Hyper-V and disable it by clearing checkbox next to it. Then click
OK
Disable Hyper-V by using command.
Press Windows logo key + X, then hit A to run Command Prompt as administrator. In Command Prompt window, type
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
and hit Enter key to execute this command.
Finally restart system.

Why can't I start the Virtual Machine I just built using VitrualBox?

Everything used to work fine, but I haven't been using Virtual Box for several weeks. Now all of the sudden, I get the following exception when trying to start my Windows 10(32-Bit) VM. Note - Things were working fine several weeks ago. As far as I can tell, I haven't changed anything on my system that would cause this. The exception details are as follow:
VirtualBox - Error In supR3HardenedWinReSpawn (rc=-5640)
Please try reinstalling VirtualBox. where supR3HardenedWinReSpawn
what: 1 VERR_SUP_VP_THREAD_NOT_ALONE (-5640) - Process Verification
Failure: The process has more than one thread
I have been researching this for some time, to avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
There is a workaround:
Open VMbox manager
Run your VM with option "Detachable start"
Wait a while and then use "Show" to show the screen
Detachable start option
Show the screen
My setup:
Oracle VM Box 6.0 running on Win10,
VM is Ubuntu 18.04
If you are using vagrant to boot up your Virtual machine, then in most cases the error is due to improper shutdown of the VM. A fix that worked for me is to execute vagrant halt or similar commands multiple times until you have a clean boot.
In case anyone is in the same predicament, I will share what finally fixed my issue. I found a post during my hours and hours of searching that said you have to enable virtualization in BIOS settings. I checked my machine and virtualization was enabled, so I went on searching. At a loss for what to try next, I finally tried turning virtualization off, just to see. No change, but when I went to turn it back on, just as a flook I turned Turbo off, and what do you know - All of the suddent I can start my VM. So the solution, in case it saves someone time:
Uninstall Virtual Box (Latest Version)
Reboot your machine and enter BIOS
Make sure anything with the term 'Virtualization' is turned on
Make sure anything with the term 'Turbo' is turned off
Reboot your machine
Install Virtual Box
Hopefully this saves some poor soul what I had to go through to get this thing working.
METHOD A
If you are using WindHawk, exit it and re-try.
Method B
download previous version from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds
install & extensions
Try to re-run your guest OS.
Try to do these steps:
1. Uninstall the VirtualBox program.
2. In your C:\users\\ might have two folders called ".VirtualBox" and "VirtualBox VMs": Delete them
3. Restart your PC
4. Install VirtualBox again
5. Add again your VM
6. It must working fine!
These steps worked for me!
Workaround 1:
Just increase the RAM size from virtual box settings
Right Click on OS image .
Settings->System->MotherBoard
Increase the base memory
Workaround 2:
Change the Paravirtualization Interface from default to none
Right Click on OS image .
Settings->System->Acceleration
Change acceleration from default to none.
The above one's was basically a workaround , which can work in some but not in all.
The best thing would be to reinstall virtual box with latest version which virtual box has tried to rectify the bug and use the same vdi files which was made by Virtual Box .
One of the most common causes that will cause this type of behaviour is a missing driver (VBoxDrv.inf). It’s possible that due to some permission issues, the installation of this crucial driver doesn’t complete during the initial installation. In this case, you can fix the problem by installing the VBoxDrv.inf manually.
1.Fix the directory problem Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Inside the text box, type ‘regedit’ and press Enter to open up Registry Editor. When you’re prompted by the User Account Control (UAC), click Yes to grant admin access.
Once you’re inside the Registry Editor, use the left-hand section to navigate to the
following location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\services\vboxdrv
After you arrive at the correct location, move over to the right-hand section and
double-click on ImagePath the path associated should be \C:\Program
Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\vboxdrv\VBoxDrv.sys
if not replace with the above path and click ok.
Install the VBoxDRV.inf OPen location C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\vboxdrv right-click on VBoxDrv.inf and choose Install from the context menu.
Then in cmd run command "sc start vboxdrv"
Restart system. This should work.

Control a wince device from desktop

I would like to know if there is a tool simillar to mymobiler for Wince 5.0 which I can use to control the device from my desktop.
I use mymobiler (v1.25) but I believe it controls only devices running on WM5 and above.
Any help would be highly apprecited as the screen of my device has stopped working.
I use MyMobiler myself when I am coding for WinCE5.0 (not very often but I do know that it works.)
In your extracted MyMobiler zip file is three versions of remote.exe.
remote.exe
remote.exe.50
remote.exe.40
The only one I have gotten to work on wince5 is remote.exe.40
Just rename the existing remote.exe file (remote.exe.wm) [you may have to click tools, folder options, and uncheck hide extensions for known file types]
Next rename remote.exe.40 to remote.exe.
After that you are good to go. Copy remote.exe to the device through activesync (xp) or WMDC (>XP) and launch it on the device. It was a bit funny connecting for me the first time - I click connect on pc, then had to click the tray icon on the device, and click connect.
Good Luck!

This does work, the auto-install doesn't seem to work but if you copy the remote.exe over as mentioned (any location will do), then start remote.exe, click on the MYMobiler icon in the tray and select Connect, it will attach to your PC like the WinMobile version does.
Also, check the ini files in the MyMobiler directory. There's some details on the features/options.
I can confirm that Dave and Mike's solutions work on Windows CE 7 as well.
I was getting an error with the AYGSHELL.dll library when starting My Mobile after the gun was connected.
Run Mymobiler.exe before you connect the scanner to the PC and then connect to the PC using the tray icon from the gun. No error.
