[solved]Quod Libet won't work

Hi,
I have reinstalled my archbox yesterday. Then I installed quod libet, but it don't start.
The start in a terminal gives me this:
[jean@arch ~]$ quodlibet
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/quodlibet", line 299, in <module>
util.gtk_init()
File "/usr/share/quodlibet/util/__init__.py", line 44, in gtk_init
import gtk
ImportError: No module named gtk
What can I do ? Is there any packages missing?
Thanks for any help.

[Solved] history -c won't work

i was try to clear bash history with :

The command will not work from a terminal emulator. You still have bash running when you close the terminal emulator. All you are clearing is that terminal instance's history. To completely clear the history file with the command 'history -c', you need to run it from the login shell.
You could use this to clear the history file:
$ > ~/.bash_history

[SOLVED] UEFI shell won't work on Thinkpad Edge E520

Hi there,
I have installed the x86_64 UEFI Shell 2.0 on my Thinkpad Edge E520 which is already booting in UEFI mode using refind-efi for some time now. The same shell is running just fine on my desktop system.
But - on the Thinkpad it doesn't run. The shell is installed as /boot/efi/shellx64.efi and when I start the laptop, refind appears and shows me the shell icon (amoung others). But when I choose the shell from refind I get a black screen with this writing:
Starting shellx64.efi
Using load options ' '
ASSERT_EFI_ERROR (Status = Device Error)
ASSERT c:\dev\edk2tip\Build\Shell\RELEASE_VS2005\X64\ShellPkg\Application\Shell\Shell\DEBUG\AutoGen.c (431): !EFI_ERROR (Status)_
I don't know if the text is going on after the last underline. If yes I cannot see it because the text is running out of the screen.
The funny thing is - exactly the same setup is working pretty nice on my Asrock ITX board but not on the Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E520.
Any ideas? Just say, if you need further information.

Okay, found the - somewhat obvious - solution myself. The UEFI Bios on my Thinkpad is an "old" UEFI 2.0. So, Shell 2.0 won't work on this system (as I could have read in the wiki ).
Now, I have installed Shell 1.0 and I can enter the shell from refind .

[(somewhat) SOLVED] Dnsmasq simply won't work - crashed?

Hi there,
I'm having a problem with dnsmasq (v2.54 [<- how is this possible anyway? I just reinstalled it, pacman calls it "2.53-1", 'dnsmasq --version' calls it '2.54'…]). I'm just trying to use it as a DNS cache, nothing special.
It seems to be started (with the "log dns queries" option enabled) without problems, but without any queries too (even though there should have been some at this time):
Jun 7 20:39:04 dnsmasq[1717]: started, version 2.54 cachesize 150
Jun 7 20:39:04 dnsmasq[1717]: compile time options: IPv6 GNU-getopt no-DBus no-I18N DHCP TFTP
Jun 7 20:39:04 dnsmasq[1717]: reading /etc/resolv.conf
Jun 7 20:39:04 dnsmasq[1717]: ignoring nameserver 127.0.0.1 - local interface
Jun 7 20:39:04 dnsmasq[1717]: read /etc/hosts - 1 addresses
Jun 7 20:39:15 dnsmasq[1717]: reading /etc/resolv.conf
Jun 7 20:39:15 dnsmasq[1717]: reading /etc/resolv.conf
Jun 7 20:39:15 dnsmasq[1717]: ignoring nameserver 127.0.0.1 - local interface
I learned "ignoring nameserver 127.0.0.1 - local interface" is not a bug but a feature (makes sense of course).
As far as I can tell in this short (but complete) log, there is nothing wrong here.
Still, it is not used:
dig google.de:
;; Query time: 2 msec
;; SERVER: 192.168.178.1#53(192.168.178.1)
dig google.de again:
;; Query time: 2 msec
;; SERVER: 192.168.178.1#53(192.168.178.1)
Here's my not exactly spectacular resolv.conf:
# Generated by dhcpcd from eth0
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 192.168.178.1
# /etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line
/etc/hosts (if needed at all):
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
# End of file
Nothing fancy here either.
I've made two more observations:
1. A few days ago I switched from a "normal" network setup (using 'eth0="dhcp"' in rc.conf) to 'net-auto-wired' using netcfg.
Browsing using a domain name like 'google.de' has become very slow since then, i.e. connecting to a new website takes a few seconds; following a few links on that (now dns-resolved) website is fast. Browsing using IP addresses is fast as usual.
2. I cannot restart dnsmasq.
sudo /etc/rc.d/dnsmasq restart:
:: Stopping DNS/DHCP daemon [DONE]
:: Starting DNS/DHCP daemon [FAIL]
Nothing else (not in the logs either). What I can observe in my process list is that a second dnsmasq process is started even though the original process is NOT stopped. After a few seconds, the second, newly created dnsmasq process disappears.
"killall dnsmasq" simply does nothing. It's like pushing Return in my console. No message, no effect, no nothing.
These 2 observations lead me to my assumption, that dnsmasq crashes at some point; an application tries to give its DNS queries to it -> nothing happens -> the applications uses the second entry in my resolv.conf which is my router.
I have no idea whether this assumption is true nor why trying to SIGKILL it doesn't end dnsmasq's miseral life.
I'm stuck here. Can anybody help me?
Thanks a lot.
Last edited by EdgarButan (2010-06-08 16:59:52)

Alright, I seem to be able to kill dnsmasq with "kill -9 PID".
"killall" nor the process list of KDE worked which has never occured to me.
This topic is now a duplicate of the other one, let's call it "SOLVED".

[SOLVED] Gnome Mplayer Won't Work

I have Gnome mplayer and gecko player installed on my maching with the mplayer-mt Aur package. Gnome-mplayer won't play any files and just says "Stopped" on the bottom. Can't figure it out, I've tried re-installing it and the regular mplayer package too without any luck. Anybody know what the problem might be?
Thx

Deleting the gnome-mplayer folder did the job. It works now thanks.
The only thing is, if I change any settings whatsoever in gnome-mplayer preferences, it stops again. I guess I'll just stick to all the stock settings...

[Solved] Pulse Audio won't work on newly installed system with Gnome

About a year ago I got a new computer and more or less retired my old one with my first arch install. Recently, I decided I would set it up as a Linux system for my sister. I first updated the computer, which broke it royally (since it was last updated before the /bin symlinking happened) but I eventually got it fixed. However, after doing that, Pulse Audio wouldn't work, then I broke X and decided to do a full reinstall.
Now, on this clean install, Pulse is again not working. I have set up Gnome and gdm to work, and everything works great except Pulse. The wiki says that Pulse with Gnome 3 requires no extra setup, so I have not edited conf files at all. I have, however, installed "pulseaudio-alsa", which created this conf file:
# Use PulseAudio by default
pcm.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
hint {
show on
description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
ctl.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
# vim:set ft=alsaconf:
which seems fairly standard. Anyway, I tried removing it and had the same problems. When I have Pulse Audio running and try to play sound, I get the error:
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
which is obviously trying for ALSA, or from mplayer:
AO: [pulse] Init failed: Connection refused
Running "pacmd list" nets me:
Daemon not responding.
and pavucontrol gives me:
Fatal Error: Unable to connect to PulseAudio: OK
when I try to start it.
No pulseaudio commands seem to work (e.g. pulseaudio -k). They don't raise any errors, but also it doesn't have any effect on the server.
The only asound conf file is "/etc/asound.conf", clearing ~/.config/pulse does not fix the issue.
Journalctl does not seem to give anything interesting (Stale PID is the only message when starting Pulse), though admittedly I'm just vgrepping all of journalctl since I don't know how to narrow it down more, nor does the output from pulseaudio -vvvv. There are a lot of errors in pulseaudio -vvvv, but they all appear to be related to loading devices that don't exist, and so I assume not a problem, I can post it if necessary. Sometimes when I kill Pulse the process refuses to go away and I have to reboot in order to clear the process out, but I don't think that's related.
If I kill Pulse or keep it from starting on boot, I can play sound, but only through ALSA, and while I didn't have the problem I expected (I can still play multiple things simultaneously) there's still the issue that the volume buttons in Gnome will no longer work and that the volume levels ALSA reports are basically nonsense to a human being.
I basically just blurbed everything I thought of/found on the wiki or forums, and I'm not really sure where to go from here. It's a fairly old computer, so that could be related, and I'd be willing to dump Pulse if Gnome could integrate well with ALSA, but obviously fixing Pulse would be the preferred option.
Any suggestions on where to look next? I've run out of ideas.
Thanks.

Wonder if you have a conflict between two audio cards ... for example, I have a friend with some PulseAudio problems caused by conflict between the HDMI audio from his graphics card and his onboard sound. Something would switch PulseAudio to the wrong card and it would just quit after getting itself into a twist. Unsolved, I'm afraid, but have a look at commands such as:
aplay -l
pactl list sinks
pactl stat
(Latter two will need PulseAudio coaxed into life first)
and of course, the Arch wiki.
If there is a conflict, blacklisting kernel modules might also be needed.

[SOLVED] pacman upgrade won't work because of unresolved dependency

Hey all,
I tried a pacman -Syyu today and it found some things and said:
:: The following packages should be upgraded first :
pacman
:: Do you want to cancel the current operation
:: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n] y
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gcc: requires gcc-libs=4.6.2-6
I have gcc-libs=4.6.2-7 and I apparently need 4.6.2-6 but I can't change anything without pacman, and pacman won't change anything without updating itself first, and it can't because of this unmet dependency, so there's a stalemate.
Any ideas what to do?

I have a gtx 560 graphics card and I installed the nouveau driver for it. It says failed to load NVIDIA so I was wondering if I should just use the NVIDIA driver instead of nouveau even though it is recommended that you use nouveau first until you get it setup. I don't think I messed anything up because all I did was install the needed packages. Any help will be awesome thank you.

It means that you still have the xorg.conf file that nvidia-xconfig created, for the nvidia driver.
Delete or move any xorg.conf ("/etc/X11/xorg.conf" or "/etc/xorg.conf") and use the "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf" file with your equivalent of:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "DELL"
ModelName "U2311H"
HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0
VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nouveau"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
PS: While explicitly specifying the "Driver" part may be omitted with open-source drivers (or so I've heard), I find that it's easier to switch to nvidia, if I ever want to, instead of automatically generating that awful xorg.conf.

[SOLVED] lxdm autologin won't work since last upgrade

Hi,
Since last upgrade, lxdm won't autologin anymore.
I had a lxdm.conf.pacnew file wich added only a commented line that I added into the conf file, wich does look like this :
[base]
## uncomment and set autologin username to enable autologin
#autologin=dgod
autologin=Olaff
## uncomment and set timeout to enable timeout autologin,
## the value should >=5
# timeout=10
## default session or desktop used when no systemwide config
session=/usr/bin/startlxde
#session=/usr/bin/openbox-session
## uncomment and set to set numlock on your keyboard
# numlock=0
## set this if you don't want to put xauth file at ~/.Xauthority

## if disable the user list control at greeter

## whitelist user

## blacklist user

Since there were no uncommented lines added, I assumed it would make no difference.
Edit :
Now, the system goes to the login screen instead of autologin.
lxdm brings me to my session if I log in however.

Not sure why OlaffTheGreat uses LXDM, but I use it because you get it for free as part of the LXDE group, and I'm too lazy to change it. My security is the 30 to 40 character passphrase I need to unlock my encrypted drives. Then having to type in an 8 character easily guessed user password is beyond annoying.
I just checked my pacman cache files and it looks like the upgrade to 0.4-1-25 is when I first got the error (currently listed as 9 days ago which would be about right). I upgraded, booted and got the login screen that I was not supposed to. I had just merged the pacnew file so it was fresh in my head and made the changes I described. Booted again and got the autologin and I didn't think another thing about it until I saw this post earlier today. Upgraded again this weekend to 0.4-1-27 with no problems.

[solved] Various MP3s are marked as [invalid encoding] with Quod Libet

Various MP3s are marked as [invalid encoding] when I attempt to open them in Quod Libet. These same MP3s open fine in VLC. I checked and I have everything related to gstreamer installed: good, bad, ugly, ffmpeg. My thinking is that should do it but it doesn't. The error listed is "Resource not found." But of course Quod Libet does have the correct path to the file. Also, in case this could be related, the files all appear to show raw unicode in the comments tag rather than the comments. LIke so: 000010A3 000010E3 000057E6 000062C2 0004F705 0005B198 00008000 00008000 00005A9C 00005A3F. Rather than... well I'm not sure what that's supposed to be.
I checked the wiki on gstreamer but and glanced at Pulse's but Pulse, ALSA, and OSS don't seem to be relevant.

Yep I went back and looked and it's everything, except one song, that has an "é" and also the bôa album. I'll file a bug report about and call it solved.
Also, I cleared all the extra tags and the junk text (which was probably a custom tag at one point) that was in comments and it works. So maybe iTunes screwed up the formatting and Ex Falso took and mangled all of my comments because of it and something to do with unicode.

Javascript or applet dropdown menus won't work in IE6, How can I solve this

I've made some dropdownmenu's of javascript and one of java applets. But they don't work in IE6. If IE6 is installed they won't work either. My friend has IE5.5 and he has no problems with the menus. How can you make them work.
And how can you change the z-index of a javascipt/applet? How do you make a dropdownmenu that's put in the topframe slide over the mainframe?

Perhaps someone could help me with the following question:
I have a menu that cascades out of the Applet box. My question is:
How do I close the menu without clicking on the Applet box? - i.e. if the user clicks on the HTML area of the WEB-PAGE, or simply waits a second or 2, the menu should collapse?
I notice that this is actually the default behavior for the AWT classes - but then you can't set background colors etc. I need the same kind of behavior, but using Swing classes.
Would appreciate any assistance or advice...

[Solved] Startx won't work! Laptop issues.

Okay, here is what Ididin as much detail as possible.
Dual boot: Windws XP + Archlinux
the partition is like this
80 GB XP
80 GB arch
*10 GB root
*70 GB /home
Video Card: nVidia Geforce Go 6100
Okay, so after I installed, I decided to and uncomment all available US repositories with HTTP on them, not FTP. Then I did a full system update, and got the latest nvidia drivers. So I run nvidia-xconfig, got a little confused when it didn't work and I noticed /etc/X11/xorg.conf was missing. After a while I realized I forgot to download Xorg, once I ran the command it worked. I downloaded HAL, started it and it worked. Then I ran startx, and it wouldn't work. I went into the IRC channel, and tried showed all the errors I got, after a while I was told I shouldn't be using root under any circumstances and the first thing I should have done is create my user ID, which I did, then made myself a Sudoer. Obviously, the errors still appeared, no matter what I did with Xorg. -.-
Here is my Xorg-Configuration

and the final errors

(EE) ***Aborting***
(EE) Screen(s) found,but none have a usable configuration.
Fatal Server Error:
No Screens found
Those are all of them in the log.
Finally, I tried modprobe nvidia and got this
FATAL: Module nvidia not found.
That is everything, this linux newbie is confused, and too stubborn. C_c Fluxbox, and startx won't work no matter what I do, please help?

Yep carol.
Nope I didn't install freetype.
Also, I noticed whenever I try to install nvidia I get an error that says these files already exist, and that there is a: Errors occured. No packages were upgraded. In a list of a bunch of files I can't even really list out at the moment.
Pacman -S nvidia gets me that error, when I tried reinstalling xorg, it worked fine. Even when I deleted the cache, and uninstalled files it had the same issue.
I was told to install the latest version available though (again). since I installed some version I got back in 2008 in December. But I've been too hesitant since I felt I might need one of those extra CDs later. So I figured out how to do it through USB, not sure if I should just yet though.
And sorry, didn't notice that long error the last time I thought it meant it was already installed.
But I did do a full system update at least though.
