[arch-general] login fails after update

2012-07-15 Thread Fons Adriaensen
Hello all,

I did a complete upgrade following the instructions w.r.t.
the /lib symlink, and indeed ended up with pacman -Su saying
'nothing to do' and /lib being a symlink.

On rebooting I get the login prompt on tty1..6, but after
entering a login nothing happens (no passwd prompt) and
after a few seconds the screen is cleared and the login
prompt returns. 

Any ideas ?

Boot into single user mode and look at /var/log/auth.log.  It should

If you ignore (don't update) linux then the modules are, of course,
still in /lib.

Maybe you should update your system following the News on the homepage.

it is possible to still have /lib/modules, but have your modules in
/usr/lib/modules.  Follow issue 2 from the wiki page mentioned in the
news.  There is a find command to tell you what is in /lib that is not
owned.  The grep command will tell you what pacman thinks should be in
/lib, if you have something that is in there that isn't glibc, either
pacman -R it or rebuild it with a fixed pkgbuild that puts them in
/usr/lib

it's pretty easy to run a custom kernel on Linode -- that's what i do
with mine at least.

... prob not really an answer in your mind :-) but a possibility.

personally i'm curious why it's an issue at all -- if /lib/ is a
symlink, why can't modules in /usr/lib/ be found?  doesn't kmod follow
symlinks? ... all my stuff is working fine, but now i'm compelled to

It was installed something like half a year ago and not used

Hmm,

  I did, but I usually put off kernel updates for a week to insure there are not
gotchas. I understand now that this update is an all or nothing update. Would
have been nice to have that note as part of the announcement. We will get

[arch-general] DeveloperWiki:usrlib - Note - rebuild any needed packages *before* attempting update

2012-07-15 Thread David C. Rankin
All,

  After working through the glibc update on several boxes, there should be a
_note_ added to the wiki. You should check the ownership of files in /lib
_before_ attempting any part of the latest update with:

$ find /lib -exec pacman -Qo -- {} +

  You will need to rebuild _all_ custom packages _before_ issuing:

# pacman -Syu --ignore glibc

  Or you will be left _unable_ to rebuild the packages until you have finished
the update due to the state of your system after pacman -Syu --ignore glibc.

  I know most of you know this, but for anyone who simply follows the wiki and
gets to Issue 2: The final pacman -Su still has conflicts in /lib -- it will
be too late at that point. At this point, just complete the update by whatever
means necessary to get the remaining non-glibc owned files out of /lib, complete
the update, then rebuild what you need.

  I didn't add the note to the wiki. I can, but don't want to do so until
getting any feedback here.

Is that not what it says? 

It already says These packages need rebuilding so as not to include
the /lib directory. Then the final pacman -Su will successfully
install glibc. I don't see any reason that after reading that it
wouldn't be clear

I missed your part about rebuilding before doing pacman -Syu --ignore

libpam provided the only problem. When the initial pacman -Syu --ignore glibc
moved libpam* from /lib to /usr/lib, it left the system unable to build packages
that required libpam. I guess the search-path information was hardcoded in the
configure.in. I rebuilt the packages that needed rebuilding (hal, shadow
(modified), and virtualbox (aur)) on a second box and rsynced the new binaries
to the box that was partially updated. After installing the new packages that
removed all ownership from /lib (except for glibc), the final 'pacman -Su'
completed fine.

Progress is always a bit trying, but all in all, Arch did a good job with the

up to date pam in the repos has all of it's stuff in /usr/lib, you
didn't have pam up to date.  Also hal has been deprecated for 2 years
now, chances are whatever you think you need it for, you don't really
need it.  if you have hal because you are using [archlinuxfr] repo, you
should remove the archlinuxfr repo, hal, and check that you don't have
gen-init-cpio installed as that was removed from [archlinuxfr] at the
sametime hal was and only a few month ago even though both have been
deprecated for a while.

There was no where that said to mv stuff from /lib to /usr/lib
manually, everything instructed making sure you were entirely up to
date, if you are unsure if your mirror is synced recently enough, you
can check at http://www.archlinux.org/packages/


Actually he really needs hal --Trinity requires it.




[arch-general] my Arch box randomly becomes irresponsible

2012-07-15 Thread Not To Miss
Dear Arch users,

I have latest Arch installed on my desktop at work. In recent two weeks,
the system randomly suspends at night (I call it randomly because it
didn't happen every night. And it seems to happen after a random period
idle time) when I am off. I can't wake it up in the next morning thru mouse
or keyboard.

I tried to disable suspension and hibernation by editing
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.upower.policy to change
from
allow_activeyes/allow_active
to
allow_activeno/allow_active

But it doesn't work.

While I call it suspend, I am not sure it suspend to RAM or hibernate to
disk, because I find the CPU fan and power fan still spin normally. RAM
light is also on. So it might be a video driver / setting related issue.
For your information, I am using nvidia-302.17-2-x86_64 and have dual
monitor set up with nvidia-utils-302.17-1-x86_64

This really bothers me a lot. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Re: [arch-general] my Arch box randomly becomes irresponsible

2012-07-15 Thread Not To Miss
Thanks. I don't think it is related either. But perhaps I should fix that
floppy error anyway

Another thing I want to mention is that the screen jitters occasionally and
when I lock the screen, only one monitor turns black while the other is
still displaying with keyboard disabled but mouse still working.

 nah none of that :-) i detest compiling things.
 

Whew! I mean it used to be fun. And I don't mind much when it's the
./configure-make-make install sequence. But kernel building never was
quite that simple and I'd have to say it's become a lot more
complicated now.

 i run the standard Arch kernel, same as any other machine -- you
 just have to configure your instance to use pv-grub.
 
 ... basically, you just need to make a grub-legacy menu.lst file,
 put it in the normal place on an ext3 partition, and go from there.
 no real work in the end.

I went to the Arch Wiki (or, more precisely, my copy of it, since the
original one often fails to answer), went to the Linode wiki (which
doesn't talk about Arch Linux), and came up with the following
(comments elided) /boot/grub/menu.1st:

timeout   5
default   0
color light-blue/black light-cyan/blue


title  Arch Linux
root   (hd0)
kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/xvda ro
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
groot=(hd0)

But I missed something because when I went to boot, it still thought
it was supposed to boot from (hd0,0).

 
 the arch kernel has all the necessary CONFIG_* bits to run
 unmodified in the Linode XEN environment.
