[SOLVED] nouveau error while booting arch

aaa234 · 2015-01-21 15:51:49

Hi!!! I'm newbie to arch, here is an error I can't solve myself. I search in google for solutions but they didn't solved. Please help me to solve this. I dual booted arch linux with window 8.1. After installation, while booting for the first time, this error occurred.

Here is the error I found.

Please use code tags for errors like this makes the error easier to read.

Maybe a silly question, but what is your video card? Is it a NVIDEA card? There were some threads with people installing nividea drivers while they had intel graphics.What happens if you install the nvidea driver?

Can you also provide some more details about your setup?

Thank u for ur quick reply. Yeah, it is NVIDEA card. I installed arch following this youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=METZCp_JCec. I think I haven't installed nividea driver, I'm sorry if this is a stupid answer.

Don't use random youtube videos; use the Arch wiki.

aaa234 · 2015-01-21 16:13:02

Yeah, this was my fault sir. Should I uninstall arch and then install again according to wiki?

Thank u sir.

The installation following arch wiki was finished but the error remained the same when I installed gnome, what should I do?

You followed this installation? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/No … stallation
And make sure you have Xorg properly installed. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg

same error as OP. Installed UEFI and using WIKI.

[0.063411] Ignoring BGRT: Invalid status 0 (expected 1)

See: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90841

I don't have the nouveau error because I install nvidia package.

I think problem has been solved as ur guidelines, but I got a new one. I can't login from tty1. It says login incorrect. I set root passwd when I installed and that root passwd can't make to log in.

That is a different problem to be honest. I assume that you can login using your normal user? If you set up sudo you might be able to get into root by using

sudo su

and change the password like that.

I'm sorry if this is a noob question. Where do I type sudo su because as soon as the OS is booted, the system asks localhost login and password. I haven't installed any desktop environment yet. I only set up a password under arch-chroot but I can't login with and without that password.

When the GRUB menu shows, press "e" and add "init=/bin/bash" to the end of the kernel line and press <Ctrl>+x

This will boot you into a password-less root shell and you can use:

# passwd root

I was assuming a normal installed environment with a normal user. Using "sudo su", you can abuse privileges granted by sudo to circumvent the password required by su. A well configured sudo should not allow this, but in this case it seemed likely that the system was not completely set up yet.

Then, if there are no more problems, please mark the thread as solved.
