Can't login from tty (possibly due to slow login)

I have this old arch installation. It's kept on 24/7 so I rarely update or reboot it. I understand that this is a bad idea and I will try to update it more often in the future. Right now I would like your help to get it working again.
What happened recently is login process became very slow. It would take about a minute to login from tty or openssh. I'm not sure how can this problem affect both methods. It's possible that this happened together with the systemd update. I didn't investigate this further as I don't login into this machine often.
More recently, I updated this machine again and after reboot, login stopped working at all. Login promt shows up quickly and password field is displayed right after I click return as normal, but then it sits there for a few minutes and reloads. No message about a wrong password or anything like that. It looks like tty would crash or timeout and then a new one would be started again.
I know that I should reinstall everything, but it would be quite difficult to do that right now. Maybe there's a way to get this machine working again without reinstallation. Do you guys have any ideas what could've caused this?
Thanks in advance

If you have physical access why not boot from a live cd and then check the logs e.g. pacman's log to see what was updated and the journal for any errors etc.

  • Can't Open Many Programs - Possibly due to Lack of a Tiff Compressor

    I hope I'm posting this in the right place...
    First, thanks for taking the time to read this.
    Ok, down to business. A couple weeks ago I went to open the Halo Demo for Mac I had installed on my computer. After I chose to play in full screen mode, a large white screen displayed with the words: "Quicktime and a TIFF(LZW) Compressor are needed to view this picture." It then hangs there for a second or two and quits. I tried reinstalling the demo and opening it back up, but to no avail. I also had installed Macromedia Flash and Fireworks MX 2004 and Flash 8. They would appear in the dock after I tried opening them, hang there, and then would quit. I had to uninstall the Macromedia programs and the Halo Demo anyways because they were taking up space on my computer. I later found out about something that I wanted to do in Macromedia Dreamweaver, so I took my Studio MX 2004 CD plopped in my drive and reinstalled the entire suite onto an external hard drive formatted as Mac OS Journaled. The same thing happens with all adobe products installed on my computer (and with a few other programs); they either display the screen that says I need Quicktime (which I have installed) and a TIFF Compressor to display the image, or they just hang in the dock for a second and close. I opened the Console, tried opening dreamweaver, and the following log was displayed in the Console window:
    dyld: NSAddImage() error
    dyld: no suitable image found. Did find:
    /System/Library/Printers/Libraries/libConverter.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture /System/Library/Printers/Libraries/libConverter.dylib
    I'm not sure what that means, as I'm just starting to learn about advanced computing skills and such, but I noticed that it said that a suitable image wasn't found. I thought this sounded similar to the error message I was getting before. Be sure to note, though, that before I reinstalled the Halo Demo and Studio MX 2004 the first time, they did work. I think the problems arose at around the same time. I'm not sure what's going on, so I'd like to know if anyone has any answers or solutions to my problems. Any help would be appreciated.

    Does anyone know the answer to my question? And is LZW the default Mac OS Tiff decompressor?

  • Purchase requisition from sales document' not possible due to a credit bloc

    hi experts,
    i have to confirm delivery date and quantity for some purchase order items but i'm not able because i receive following message:
    Subsequent function 'Purchase requisition from sales document' not possible due to a credit block'
    Purchase requisition belongs to a sales order which has customer 10000.
    The customer 10000 was block from FD32 but now i have unblock the customer from FD32, i have assigned customer to a category risk which is only a warning. (in OVA8 risk category 002 static check, reaction C, status/block uncheck )
    There is any possiblilities to confirm quantity ?? I mean ... i understand that sales order was created when the customer was block due to credit limit exceded ... but now the customer is not blocked.
    What should i do?
    Thank you.

    Hi Dan
    If you want to  confirm the delivery date then change the static check reaction to B . in OVA8 . But if you change the static check reaction to A , you can do Delivery and billing also

  • Good issue from delivery not possible due to credit block

    Hi gurus,
    Please help me on this issue.while doing PGI for the delivery i am getting the following error message."Good issue from delivery not possible due to credit block "The simple credit check is assigned for the sales document type.iam doing free of charge delivery.
    What are all the possible ways to get such error
    Regards
    Vis

    but system behavior is not set in transaction OVA8, means combination of risk categories and 03 is not set.
    I think you are checking the wrong risk category, please check once again the Risk category of the payer in FD32, what is it assigned and also check OVA8 with this risk category.
    If you find the above settings are correct as per your observation, try to create a fresh cycle so that you will get the correct results as per your settings in delivery.
    In your case what you are saying is correct, may be the risk category is changed recently this you can check the change log of the payer customer in FD32( if any change takes place).
    If possible try to past the screen shot of both.
    thanks,
    srinu.

  • Printer suddenly not communicating with laptop and can't print, possibly due to antivirus software?

    All of a sudden I can't print from my laptop, neither wireless or via USB.  I keep getting an error message "printer not responding."  I did the dx/repair and was able to print a test page, but that's it.  Would like to know if it might be due to my antivirus software/firewall?  
    I use Windows 8 on an HP laptop.  Security software is Norton.  This has never happened before and I"ve been using this Norton subscription for at least 8 months, maybe longer. 
    Is there something I can do in the Norton settings to fix this?
    Thanks.

  • "Message from Webpage (error) There was an error in the browser while setting properties into the page HTML, possibly due to invalid URLs or other values. Please try again or use different property values."

    I created a site column at the root of my site and I have publishing turned on.  I selected the Hyperlink with formatting and constraints for publishing.
    I went to my subsite and added the column.  The request was to have "Open in new tab" for their hyperlinks.  I was able to get the column to be added and yesterday we added items without a problem. 
    The problem arose when, today, a user told me that he could not edit the hyperlink.  He has modify / delete permissions on this list.
    He would edit the item, in a custom list, and click on the address "click to add a new hyperlink" and then he would get the error below after succesfully putting in the Selected URL (http://www.xxxxxx.com), Open
    Link in New Window checkbox, the Display Text, and Tooltip:

    and I saw in another post, below with someone who had a similar problem and the IISreset fixed it, as did this problem.  I wonder if this is resolved in the latest updated CU of SharePoint, the April 2014 CU?
    Summary from this link below: Comment out, below, in AssetPickers.js

    Again, if I update my SharePoint 2010 farm to April 2014 CU is this going to resolve the issue I have?
    I don't mind changing the JS file, however I'd like to know / see if there is anything official regarding this instead of my having to change files.
    Thank you!

    We had the same issue after applying the SP2 & August CU. we open the case with MSFT and get the same resolution as you mentioned.
    I blog about this issue and having the office reference.
    Later MSFT release the Hotfix for this on December 10, 2013 which i am 100% positive should be part of future CUs.
    So if you apply the April CU then you will be fine.
    Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog

    Can I logoff from my iTunes and login using my family share id, download the apps that I want that were previously purchased before I linked family sharing with my unique Apple id, logout, and log back in with my Apple ID to have access to the apps?

    If you transfer any iTunes content to the iPhone from an iTunes library on another computer, all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first with a warning message provided indicating this beforehand.
    Authorize the different computer with your Apple ID with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, right click on the iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Transfer Purchases. This will transfer all apps on your iPhone to the iTunes library.
