Glibc-2.3.3-2t2 breaks kdeinit-3.2.3-1

I just did system upgrade (pacman -Suy), and know kdeinit complains about seeing the wrong version of glibc.
After the upgrade, I had glibc-2.3.3-2t2 installed. I luckily still had glibc-2.3.3-1t2 still in my cache which fixed the problem.

Duplicite post. Question answered here: "GLIBC_2.3.3 not defined" problem when10g express installation in Red Hat9

Glibc-2.9.2-i686 breaks apache and causes problems with samba?

I could not start the apache daemon. The output from /usr/sbin/apachectl start is
httpd: ../sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c:1465: rfc3484_sort: Assertion `src->results[i].native == -1 || src->results[i].native == a2_native' failed.
/usr/sbin/apachectl: line 78: 2933 Aborted $HTTPD -k $ARGV
The getaddrinfo.c, I believe, is in the glibc package.
Also, I get error logs in my /var/log/samba directory named like "__ffff" followed by the IP address of a remote client. In one of them it says that samba is dumping core and contains

I downgraded glibc to 2.8-3 and I can now start apache. No problems with samba yet either although I had to make pacman skip dependency checks because a number of packages depended on glibc >= 2.9.

getaddrinfo.c - this is place where glibc 2.9 has a major change in IP resolving. see the bugreport we had and still have. search google and upstream (Fedora/RedHat) for reports.
maybe a simple recompile of the affected packages can help. holding an outdated version is a bad solution. new packages compiled against the new version may use new functions and break with the old one.

Err I'm kinda sleepy right now, but this doesn't look a proper way to handle the gcc package since I have it ignored in pacman.conf. Why did this happen? Some new funcionality I haven't heard? Maybe it's a dep of the other pkgs? And if so, why this behaviour?

You know how alsa has specific comment lines above and below the changes it makes to a config file (I think modprobe.conf)? Would it be mega super mondo easy to implement an area of the pacman config file that pacman would cat onto the EOF of the new config file on upgrade?
It's a pain in the ass to have to reconfigure the Repos I'm using and the packages I'm holding back everytime I upgrade pacman.
Why not just add at the end of the pacman file:
#----DO NOT EDIT THESE COMMENT LINES!---
#----Anything below these comments will be
#----retained on pacman upgrade
And if there's a major change in pacman that changes the syntax of things, don't cat the configurations on, and issue a warning on upgrade.

Latest glibc breaks pacman

Am i right in saying this?
Of course if that's the case i'm sure the developers are aware of this and are recompiling pacman to use the new glibc version
I'd do it myself but abs fails to update too...and since this is a fresh install...my /var/abs tree is empty...a slight setback in my install but i'll live
until then can anyone point me to the pacman source code?

Sorry about that, everyone.
If you're having pacman problems with the new glibc, download the latest pacman package with wget and install it.
# wget ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/current/os/i686/pacman-2.8.2-2.pkg.tar.gz
# pacman -U pacman-2.8.2-2.pkg.tar.gz

Gcc not working with compiled glibc from PKGBUILD

hello folks, please excuse my english
i like to compile certain parts of my system, between them are the kernel, glibc , zsh, etc.
i had noticed that using a compiled version of glibc from abs results in gcc not working at all ( C compiler cannot create executables logs says). this is weird especially because i hadn't had problems before, i have looked for the error mesagges on Google and a lot of people has had this problem but nobody has a "generic" solution for this
this is the config.log file from one failed compile of mpg123
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.
It was created by mpg123 configure 1.12.3, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.65. Invocation command line was
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-audio=alsa esd sdl

You have stripped glibc too much. See the Arch PKGBUILD and make sure your makepkg.conf has STRIP_BINARY etc defined.

How to rebuild glibc on older gcc & kernel?

My env (these are dummy package with STLinux's prebuild binaries)
binutils 2.18.50.0.8-43
gcc 4.2.4-76

glibc 2.6.1-74

I'm using old kernel on sh4 CPU arch and want to upgrade to newest gcc. So, I changed the glibc's PKGBUILD as

a *very* quick guide
you can change the details to suit your environment
# = run as root
$ = run as regular user
# pacman -S abs
# abs
$ mkdir -p ~/abs/core/glibc
$ cp -R /var/abs/core/glibc ~/abs/core/glibc
$ cd ~/abs/core/glibc
$ vi PKGBUILD
modify the --enable-kernel line so it reads 2.6.18
$ makepkg
# pacman -U <your new glibc package>.xv
You might also want to add glibc to the ignorepkg line in pacman.conf. That way, you'll just be notified when a new version is out and you can repeat all of this. You don't need to resync the entire abs tree though, the following command will do it for one package
# abs core/glibc
One other tip - make sure you have a copy of the regular glibc package before making any changes just to be safe

This started to suddenly happen, and breaks some shell scripts here. Any suggestions on how to fix it?
Thanks.

Hi,
i have the same problem.
But there exists an upstream bug report http://musicpd.org/mantis/view.php?id=1902 and the problem is fixed in the git version.

Pacman -S glibc won't continue, conflict on `/lib/libiberty.a`?

Hello, I've been hit with the recent glibc update that broke a lot of systems. I'm almost done fixing mine, but I'm not sure how to resolve this.
For reference, this is what I've done so far.
Used the `find /lib -exec pacman -Qo -- {} +` to determine what to do.
I found /lib/gcc/x86_64-elf was unowned. I think this may have been from a freestanding cross compiler I built. I moved it to /usr/lib/gcc
I also updated the android-udev AUR package which had a file in /lib.
Now, I'm stuck on one final conflict. There is a /lib/libiberty.a file left over that is unowned. I would move it to /usr/lib, but a file by the same name already exists, but oddly they are different sizes.

What could this have been installed by? Will it break anything to remove it? And how do I resolve this conflict?

That probably was installed with your cross compiler too. Get rid of it.

[SOLVED] glibc upgrade problem (moved /lib myself)

Hi,
I went to upgrade my Archlinux system,
and had to apply both the June and July intervention upgrades described in the announcements.
Neither of the sets of instructions worked on their own,
and before I thought of how to combine them properly,
I tried moving the files from /lib to /usr/lib and making /lib a symlink (to usr/lib),
so that maybe I could skip the July intervention instructions.
I didn't break my system (for long), I successfully moved the stuff over,
and then I ran
pacman -Syu --ignore glibc --ignore filesystem
pacman -S filesystem --force
and then the upgrade was mostly done.
But then upgrading to glibc still doesn't work.
From pacman -Su,
I get the output
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)

Running
find /lib -exec pacman -Qo -- {} +
returns
error: No package owns /lib
So it seems that there was more to be done than just moving the lib files and making the symlink...
I'm sorry that I went against the instructions,
but I had to deviate in some way to do this upgrade.
I just probably deviated in the wrong direction.
Does anyone know how I can finish upgrading my system?
I can think of things to try, but I don't want to be wrong and make it worse.

If not, you should be okay forcing the glibc update at this point.
I did.
It worked.
My system is saved.
Thank you very much.
What follows is information about what I did since your post, in case it helps anyone else.
Are you sure that you've updated all the file locations for glibc?
No. I don't understand the structure of pacman well enough to know that there isn't another set of files I have to edit.
I had gcc-multilib and glibc complaining when I tried pacman -Su
I did see a thread where someone said that uninstalling everything that complains, except for glibc, allows glibc to upgrade.
I tried to run pacman -R gcc-multilib, but a package complained that it needed gcc, as if gcc and gcc-multilib are the same thing.
I gave up on that lead there.
After the advice here,
I tried figuring out what --force does.
man pacman said that it does "Bypass file conflict checks and overwrite conflicting files."
Then I tried finding out what conflict checks get done.
I looked at the pacman source code and learnt nothing useful.
Then I looked inside the package archive for glibc. (/var/cache/pacman/pkg/glibc-2.16.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz)
Inside, it was in the structure of a root file system, with presumably the set of files it would try to copy into my system.
I saw that all the files getting complained about were symlinks in both the archive and my system.
I couldn't just delete them all off my system because /lib was one of them.
I looked at the other files in the archive, and there was only one file I was afraid of it overwriting - locale.gen,
so I backed up locale.gen, and did
pacman --force -S glibc
That ran without complaints.
Then I ran
pacman -Su
That ran without complaints and upgraded about 5 things.
Then I rebooted, and I could succesfully start X and visit this webpage.
Also, I installed my system in early June. That's why I didn't try the "for installs that have not been updated during 2012" package.
I didn't know why that was there, so I didn't know that it would apply to me.
Or if the way the wiki article did apply to my exact situation is something else, then I still haven't found it.

[SOLVED] the glibc thing: to move or to remove?

First of all, apologies in advance if this question is redundant to the scores that now seem to be posted about the glibc upgrade issue. But in combing through those, I haven't yet come across the answer to what I think is a pretty simple question:
The guide to troubleshooting the glibc upgrade says that
Any files unowned by a package should either be deleted or moved to /usr/lib and any directories within /lib need deleted (after they are empty...).
In hopes of avoiding major problems, I have followed this guide to the letter, up to this particular passage. What I now know from
find /lib -exec pacman -Qo -- {} +
is that:
1) pacman cannot determine ownership of /lib
2) there are a number of files in /lib owned by glibc
3) my /lib contains a subdirectories /lib/firmware/b43 and /lib/firmware/b43-open, each of which contain lots of files. Every single one of these is not owned by any package.
So, by the quote above, it seems that my next step is to either remove or move-to-/usr/lib (recursively) the directory /lib/firmware. My question is, which one of these should I do?
Another note on this: b43 is the kernel module that runs my broadcom wireless card. As best I can tell, the files I'm seeing in /lib/firmware/b43 and /lib/firmware/b43-open came from packages from the AUR for dealing with my card that I installed some time in the past. I'm assuming that because pacman says these files are unowned (and because pacman -Qing for them turns up nothing), I must have uninstalled these AUR packages at some point (but that would have been a couple of years ago now when I last futzed around with my wireless on this machine). Currently, the only package having to do with b43 that I do have installed (according to pacman) is b43-fwcutter, and all of its files are totally distinct and are already safe and sound in /usr/lib. All that said, my wireless is currently working, and it was pretty hard to get to that point, so I'm very reluctant to do somthing that might break it. Thus my hestitance to move or remove those files without being sure I know the consequences first.
So anyway...should I move or re-move? (or do something else entirely)
Thanks!!!!

I recommend backing them up somewhere, proceeding with the update, and seeing if your wifi works without them. If it does, you can remove the files, if it doesn't, install them properly via pacman.
If your wireless network needs those files, and you cannot install them from AUR, then restore them from the backup to /usr/lib/modules/b43....

Downgrading the kernel without breaking my system

Hello,
A few months ago, I was using a old (2011) version of the kernel, because of regressions in WiFi support and in sound quality. But when /lib became a symlink and the glibc update came ( http://www.archlinux.org/news/the-lib-d … a-symlink/ ), my system was broken, and I had to upgrade to a more recent version of the kernel using a LiveCD.
So, is there a way to downgrade safely to an older version of the kernel without breaking my system?
Thanks in advance.

/lib is a symlink... what happens if you try to install the older kernel?
Alternatively, re-build the package of an older kernel. (Though I doubt re-building is necessary, I offer it as a possibility.)

So i want to move the values according to the end of Vendor so for that i want to know is there any sy-index available which reflects changes when Control break (AT end of) process.
LIKE Sy-subrc = 0 when select statement fetches record or sy-tabix is like counter for loop.
Hope to get reply soon.
Regards,
Himanshu Rangappa

Hi,
There is no system Fields for it.
But your requirement can be done with 'AT NEW' and 'AT END' statement.
Refer this sample example,
loop at otab.
    at new module.
      move otab-module to otab2-module.
    ENDAT.
      at END OF effort.
      sum.               "Do your calculations here
      move otab-count to otab2-count.
      append otab2.
    endat.
endloop.

Iphone 5s voice garbled, breaking up

People I call on my iPhone 5s say my voice sounds garbled and is breaking up. Is it a hardware issue?

I am getting the same complaints from people I talk to on the phone. I started keeping track of when it was happening. The only common factor that I can find is that all complaints are happening when I am talking to someone while I am in a loud environment.
I tuned off the "Phone Noise Cancelation" feature about a week ago and I have not had any complaints since. You can find this feature in the settings icon then go to General then look for Accessibility. The Phone Noise Cancelation option is about half way down the page under accessibility.
I hope this helps!

Issue With Page Break When Sorting is also applied on group

Hi
I am facing an issue with Page break only when I have sorting applied on the grouping that I have in the template.
The following is the sample XML
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<GRE>org1</GRE>
<ORGANIZATION>Accounts</ORGANIZATION>
<FULL_NAME>test1,</FULL_NAME>
<ELEMENT_NAME>TEST BONUS</ELEMENT_NAME>

<RUN_VALUE>250</RUN_VALUE>
<MONTH_VALUE>500</MONTH_VALUE>
<QUARTER_VALUE>500</QUARTER_VALUE>
<YEAR_VALUE>500</YEAR_VALUE>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<GRE>org1</GRE>
<ORGANIZATION>Finance</ORGANIZATION>
<FULL_NAME>test2</FULL_NAME>
<ELEMENT_NAME>VOLUNTARY AD AND D</ELEMENT_NAME>
<CLASSIFICATION>Voluntary Deductions</CLASSIFICATION>
<RUN_VALUE>5.19</RUN_VALUE>
<MONTH_VALUE>10.38</MONTH_VALUE>
<QUARTER_VALUE>10.38</QUARTER_VALUE>
<YEAR_VALUE>10.38</YEAR_VALUE>
</ROW>
<ROW>

<YEAR_VALUE>39.34</YEAR_VALUE>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<GRE>org1</GRE>
<ORGANIZATION>Finance</ORGANIZATION>

<ELEMENT_NAME>PENSION NR DC</ELEMENT_NAME>
<CLASSIFICATION>Pre-Tax Deductions</CLASSIFICATION>
<RUN_VALUE>0</RUN_VALUE>
<MONTH_VALUE>360</MONTH_VALUE>
<QUARTER_VALUE>360</QUARTER_VALUE>
<YEAR_VALUE>360</YEAR_VALUE>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
In the template I group the data based on CLASSIFICATION and then sort on the same column CLASSIFICATION. I have a page-break applied for every group.
When I generate the PDF, I am not getting the page-breaks for every group. Instead some of them are displayed in the same page.
But when I remove the sorting that I had in the template on the column CLASSIFICATION, I am getting the output in the desired way but not in a sorted order.

Hi All,
I am using MS-WORD 2007 and BI Publisher desktop 10.1.3.3.3.
When I use split-by-page-break, splitting is performed for every line .. but not for group of lines.
Can anybody throw some light on this?
FYI...
I am using this code:
?if: position() mod 6= 0?
?split-by-page-break:?
?end if?
(Of course with in tags)
in G_LINES loop.
Can anybody help me out :-(

New Applescript version breaks old code

Hi there,
First off, I'm not an Applescripter, but I have one script I wrote a few years back (with help from kind people on the net) to generate and save tiny applications which, when called from within an Adobe Flash executable, would open the required file using the Mac OS native application associated with them (i.e a doc file wouldbe opened by Word if installed, TextEdit if not...)
It used to run fine on my old Powerbook G4 on an old version of AppleScript, but times change and, one whizzy Intel processor later, I'm trying to get the same script running on OS 10.8 with AppleScipt 2.5.1, with varied results.
Basically, what the script should do is read a comma delimited file in the same folder as the script, called 'fileNames.csv' which contains the names of all the files that I want the tiny apps to open. Each item will then have its own file created by the AppleScript, named after each item, which get saved in an pre-existing folder in the same directory as the script and fileNames.csv file, called 'fscommand'.
The example of the fileNames.csv file I'm having issues with:
yr2_unit_1_tn.doc,yr2_unit_2_tn.doc,yr2_unit_3_tn.doc ... etc up until yr2_unit_20_tn.doc
The script always used to work fine, but the new version of AppleScript seems to have broken it. When I run it now, it creates all the .app files up until 'yr2_unit_11_tn.doc.app' but then stalls in 'Running...' mode in the AppleScipts editor, and refuses to save apps for the final nine files in the .csv file.
It still runs ok from an older AppleScript editor (2.2.1) but this only saves PowerPC applications, which won't run on Intel Macs. And this would be me running away from the problem, rather than attempting to solve it ;-)
I'm thinking it's a filename issue, as it always seems to break when attempting to save "yr2_unit_11_tn.doc.app" when "yr2_unit_1_tn.doc.app" already exists in the 'fscommand' folder. If I create a new 'fileNames.csv' file which only contains ten entries from 'yr2_unit_11_tn.doc' to 'yr2_unit_20_tn.doc', and run the script to an empty 'fscommand' folder, it processes all the files fine. It just won't do all twenty entries from 1 to 20.
Here's the script. I know I'm doing something really stupid here, but as a rock bottom novice AppleScripter, I can't see the error, or why it would work in one version of AppleScript and not another. I can post a link to the zipped files if this is any help in solving it. Thanks in advance for any help! :-)
tell application "Finder" to get folder of (path to me) as Unicode text
set cwd to result
set fileRef to open for access alias (cwd & "fileNames.csv")
set theList to read fileRef using delimiter ","
close access fileRef
set theFolder to alias (cwd & "fscommand")
set theFolderPath to theFolder as string
#Create the .app files and save them in theFolder
set NL to ASCII character 10
tell application id "com.apple.ScriptEditor2"
launch
          repeat with theItem in theList
                    set x to make new document
                    set x to the front document
                    set theCharacters to characters of theItem
                    set theReversedCharacters to reverse of theCharacters
                    set theReversedFileName to theReversedCharacters as string
                    set theOffset to offset of "." in theReversedFileName
                    set theReversedSuffix to text 1 thru (theOffset - 1) of theReversedFileName
                    set theSuffix to (reverse of (characters of theReversedSuffix)) as string
                    set the text of document 1 to "tell application \"Finder\"" & NL & "activate" & NL & "set cwd to get folder of container of (path to me) as Unicode text" & NL & "open file (cwd & \"assets:" & theSuffix & ":" & theItem & "\")" & NL & "end tell"
compile document 1
                    set file_path to theFolderPath & theItem & ".app"
                    save document 1 as "application" in file file_path
close window 1
          end repeat
end tell

That seemed to be it. I put a tiny delay in between saving the document and closing the window and the file runs smoothly through all 20 items.
compile document 1
set file_path to theFolderPath & theItem & ".app"
save document 1 as "application" in file file_path
delay 0.3
close window 1
Never thought that I'd reach the day where I was trying to slow the computer down to process something more carefully :-D
