Archiso build failing due to dbus and dbus-core conflict

I am trying to build an ISO with archiso (releng), and even after running
pacman -R dbus
and
pacman -Syu
the build fails with the following error:
[root@sados releng]# ./build.sh -N SadOS -V 1.0 -L SADOS_1.0 -v build single

If yes, remove it and leave only dbus
No, neither of them were in packages.i686. I even tried adding dbus to that file to see if it would help, but it didn't change the error message.
It seems like archiso is installing some core files before it installs my custom packages, and maybe that is where the problem lies, but I really have no idea.

  • [SOLVED] conky-lua build fails due to toluapp package issues

    I am trying to install conky-lua from AUR on 64 bit Arch and failing miserably.
    When running the following:
    yaourt -Sy conky-lua
    I get the following error:
    /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.4.2/../../../../lib/libtolua++.a(tolua_is.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

    make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
    ==> ERROR: Build Failed.
    Aborting...
    Error: Makepkg was unable to build conky-lua package.
    I have read through what search results I can find on the topic (both here and via google) and have attempted to remedy the situation by adding build options to the toluapp build to provide for the conky-lua build. I have tried this by adding CCFLAGS = '-fPIC' to the scons call in the PKGBUILD file, I have also tried editing the config_linux.py file, which sits along side the main build file, to include the -fPIC switch also, which doesn't work either. i.e. I have this in the config_linux.py now:
    CCFLAGS = ['-O2', '-ansi', '-Wall', '-fPIC']
    Which doesn't work, it results in:
    ==> Validating source files with md5sums...
    tolua++-1.0.93.tar.bz2 ... Passed
    config_linux.py ... FAILED
    ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!
    Error: Makepkg was unable to build toluapp package.
    Can someone help me through a build as I have never come across scons before and maybe I am providing directives to the toluapp build incorrectly? I am still thinking in "make" terms...
    I NEED lua in conky
    Thanks in advance

    I was asked by email on what exactly I did to get conky-lua installed and working on 64bit Arch, so I thought I would post my reply below in case it is of help to anyone else. Cheers
    Run "yaourt -S conky-lua". Amongst other things this will try to install a dependancy which you need to mess about with, the package you need to edit is "toluapp".
    When the "toluapp" package is downloaded by yaourt answer y to the edit question and provide something like gedit or kate as the editor to use
    You'll now see the PKGBUILD file in the editor, this doesn't need editing just yet. But if you open file from the editor you'll see the directory thie PKGBUILD is in, and you want to edit the config_linux.py file you'll see there.
    You should see this line in the config_linux.py file:
    CCFLAGS = ['-O2', '-ansi', '-Wall']
    Change it so it is like this:
    CCFLAGS = ['-O2', '-ansi', '-Wall', '-fPIC']
    Now, back to the PKGBUILD file, you'll see this line:
    md5sums=('100aa6907b8108582080b37d79c0afd7' 'bab107cdd2d18d3453a2344341b77c45')
    These checksums line up with tarball and config_linux.py files, and this will stop you're edit from working if not amended because the .py file isn't what it should be, we changed it. So run md5sum against the .py file and update the second checksum in the line appropriately.
    Carry on with the package installation and conky should have lua support

  • DC Build failed due to used WD Components

    Hello All,
    I have used few web dynpro components in "used web dynpro components" in my DC. When I build the DC, it gives me the following error
         [wdgen] ERROR: com.sap.tc.webdynpro.repository.RepositoryRuntimeException: Failed to parse XML document containing VMO=com.pg.dc_utils.components.buyercodesearchcomp.BuyerCodeSearchComp., C:/Documents and Settings/283818/.dtc/0/t/CA1424309DCE741FB83B7DE1E71CAA69/gen_wdp/configuration/Components/com.pg.dc_oachanges.components.oachangescomp.OAChangesComp/OAChangesComp.xml
    As soon as I remove the used web dynpro components, the rrror goes off and the DC builds fine. I want to use those WD Components in my DC
    How do I resolve this ?
    Regards
    Mrinalini

    Some one resolved this problem as given in this link. But I don understand exactly what he/she did. Please read the following post to get an idea of the problem
    Urgent : Generation of file "application".xml fails and deploys aborted
    It talks about adding views in the views list and in the components list . How do we do that ?

  • App builder fails due to undefined target

    I have generated a build in LV8.5.  I get an error when you try to run the install.  Says that the target is undefined.  I have (I think) defined it like i always did in the past (recent upgrade from 8.2).  I am fouled somehow and cannot find why.  I can send the whole project to someone for evaluation.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Yes, the app runs fine after the build.  The application build seems to finish OK as well.  Just when you run the install setup do you get the error.  I hopefully have attached a shot of the error.
    The app was done originally in 8.5 (is a new project).  We have done several applications in the past with sucess.  I think this is the first time in 8.5.  In 8.2 we did several.

    If you think it's a common problem how about filing a bug report.  Would likely help more people than just posting in the forum.  Just a suggestion.

  • (SOLVED) Hal and dbus, do I need dbus?

    I read the wiki and it says if I don't use hal in my daemons then I need to add dbus.
    I haven't been using hal, and I haven't added dbus either. My system seems to be working right, but I guess something could be wrong. Reading the wiki brings me here to ask if I need dbus and why?

  • Kde authorization (polkit and dbus driving me insane)

    hi,
    apologies if this is complete newbie territory, but it's been a long time since i last used linux as a desktop OS so polkit and dbus are all new to me.
    the problem, basically, is that KDE won't let me do anything i would consider privileged. network manager applet won't let me change wifi connections, package manager doesn't work and usb disks won't mount.
    let's start with usb disks. i added a polkit rule as per the wiki:
    [root@mjollnir rules.d]# cat 10-enable-mount.rules
    polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
    if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount-system" && subject.isInGroup("storage")) {
    return polkit.Result.YES;
    and i am in the storage group:
    $ groups

    but i get the following error when i try to open a newly inserted usb disk in dolphin:
    Error checking authorization: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: Action org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount is not registered (polkit-error-quark, 0)
    and now for network manager -
    running nm-applet from a terminal and trying to change wifi connection gives me this:

    QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
    i do have dbus processes running under my userid, so i think i have a session but i'm not really sure what i'm looking for, and learning the complete ins and outs of dbus is more than a little daunting for what should be a relatively simple task!
    can anyone point me in the right direction to start figuring this out? i'm currently seriously considering a complete reinstall but i'm not sure i have the time for that, especially since i don't know if it would necessarily solve the problem
    fwiw, i booted a mint livecd and all this stuff worked fine so it's not my hardware

    Sorry for being vague - i understand it's not easy dealing with newbies i'll try to be clearer!
    I was running kdm as root, then logging in as a regular user. I've now enabled the kdm systemctl service as per mariusmeyer's instructions, but it didn't change what happens when i insert a USB disk - same error as before.

  • [SOLVED] X-Autostart, Auto-log-in and DBus : a non-pulseaudio issue

    Hello,
    besides the not-so-clear title, I've been investigating for what first looked like a pulseaudio problem for a while, and I'm now sharing what I found with you :
    Pre-existing conditions
    An Arch system with systemd, auto-loggin on a TTY and auto-start of X
    Symptoms
    Pulseaudio wouldn't start anymore at boot, but everything worked fine if it was started a while after, provided one would have sudo killall -9 pulseaudio before, and there was no major upgrade that could be related to this change.
    Journalctl showed dbus related messages, saying that pulse wasn't able to find it, and a general failure in main.c start.
    Solution
    Actually, a part of the boot process was the following :
                |-----> lots of things, and at a point dbus
    Init --> |
                |-----> auto-logging service (getty stuff) -----> .xinitrc ------> pulseaudio
    and there was no guarantee that dbus was already started when pulse audio was.
    To add this guarantee, edit your autologging service and add the following
    [Unit]
    ... your stuff ...
    #lines to add :
    Requires=dbus.Service #I'm not sure this one is needed, if anyone here can confirm it
    After=dbus.Service
    ..rest of the file..
    reboot, and enjoy

    I know this is an older post, but I'm hoping by bumping it someone will be able to help me with this issue even though the thread is marked as [SOLVED], so that I won't have to create a new post.
    I'm trying to set up a host to autologin a user, then automatically startx to enter a desktop environment.  I am using these guides:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/au … al_console
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Start_X_at_Login
    I haven't yet set up the startx at login, but I've done that before, so I don't expect any issues or problems.
    I successfully set up autologin using the first link and everything seemed fine.  However, on the startx at login wiki, it states:
    Tips
    This method can be combined with automatic login to virtual console. When doing this you have to set correct dependencies for the autologin systemd service to ensure that dbus is started before ~/.xinitrc is read and hence pulseaudio started (see: BBS#155416)
    I don't have pulseaudio issues to worry about, but I do have an exec line to start lxde.  So, I followed that link to this thread and created the lines NougatRillettes suggested.  Here's the complete file:
    /etc/systemd/system/[email protected]/autologin.conf
    [Unit]
    Requires=dbus.Service
    After=dbus.Service
    [Service]
    ExecStart=
    ExecStart=-/usr/bin/agetty --autologin <username> --noclear %I 38400 linux
    Then, when I reboot the kernel spits this out:
    Nov 06 14:39:23 [Host] systemd[1]: Set hostname to <[Host]>.
    Nov 06 14:39:23 [Host] systemd[1]: [/etc/systemd/system/[email protected]/autologin.conf:2] Failed to add dependency on dbus.Service, ignoring: Invalid argument
    Nov 06 14:39:23 [Host] systemd[1]: [/etc/systemd/system/[email protected]/autologin.conf:3] Failed to add dependency on dbus.Service, ignoring: Invalid argument
    Nov 06 14:39:23 [Host] systemd[1]: Cannot add dependency job for unit display-manager.service, ignoring: Unit display-manager.service failed to load: No such file or directory.
    I rechecked the wikis and noticed:
    Tips & Tricks
    Avoiding unnecessary dmesg errors
    To avoid errors related to display-manager.service in dmesg, you should set the default target to multi-user instead of graphical:
    # systemctl enable multi-user.target
    So I went ahead and enabled multi-user.target and rebooted, thinking that would solve the problem, but it didn't...the error messages were the same.
    I'm hoping someone can help...and maybe update those two wikis if there's any information missing.  I'm also wondering if I should reverse the last step I described by disabling multi-user.target.

  • [SOLVED]dbus and systemd: "systemctl --user" gets "Connection refused"

    Hi,
    I want to enable some systemd user service. Here is what I get

    I don't believe I've ever touched dbus, so I'm a bit lost. There's the following line in my ~/.xinitrc:

  • Compilation failed due to timing violations, Getting Xflow error and resources over use.

    Hi,
    I am extensively using Fixed point math library functions which i have downloaded from NI website in my FPGA application.I am getting following errors while compiling the code.
    I would like to know is there any limitations in using fixed point functions?
    I am configuring all funtions as a 64 bit word length and 32 bit integer length in cofig parameter set up and all are outside the timed loop.
    Apart from below error it is occupieng LUT's 300% in one simple VI (mathematical calculations using fixed point functions).
    So i would like to know is there any way to optimize the code?.
    Status: Compilation failed due to timing violations.
    The compile process reported a timing violation.
    Suggestions for eliminating the problem:
      * For Timed Loops with timing violations
          - Reduce long arithmetic/combinatorial paths
          - Use pipelining within Timed Loops
          - Reduce the number of nested case structures
      * Reduce clock rates if possible
      * Recompile

    The Fixed Point Library is certainly not a demo, and we encourage you to use it extensively.
    Really? "Demo" is perhaps too strong a word, but the NI Labs page says that the toolkits there "aren't quite ready for release" and are "experimental prototype"s. My understanding was that they work, but are only meant to show potential future products and get feedback on them. If this is not the case, perhaps the wording needs to be changed.
    I know I wouldn't want to be using something throughout my code and then find out that it is not supported when the next LV version came out because it was only a prototype. Can you promise support into the future for these? If you can't, that should be clearly stated.

  • Exporting pdf and said failed due to password protected--what to do?

    I'm trying to export a pdf file and i get a 'conversion failed due to password protection'? i do not recall putting a password for any of my conversions. 

    Hi TSN,
    Thank you, that is correct - an unprotected PDF would be best.
    Although if that isn't available due to time constraints, you will have full access to convert the PDF to Word if you have the correct password. You will just need to be sure to enter it directly into the PDF before you do the conversion.
    Hope that helps!
    Regards, Stacy

    I keep trying to burn a CD-R in Iphoto, and every time iPhoto stops burning halfway through and i get this error message, "Attemp to burn a disc failed. Burn failed due to a medium write error." I am using memorex CD-R's and have tried with 4 times with different CD's. Is this a software or hardware problem? Any info would be awesome

    Export the photos to a desktop folder, right click on the folder and burn to disk - see if that is any different

  • My daughter has not used her ipod touch for 16 months and has forgotten her passcode.  restore factory settings keeps failing due to a software update failure!

    my daughter has not used her ipod touch for 16 months and has forgotten her passcode.  restore factory settings keeps failing due to a software update failure!
    how can i get this ipod reset.  She now has an iphone so this is going to be used by someone else in the family and should be simple to do but itunes just keeps booting it out even though it recognises that it was previously connected to our itunes account as all of the children were on my account

    That has nothing to do with an update server. Do the following:
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
      If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes
