Issue on VMWare post Xorg packages update

I run arch as a guest on VMWare Player(6.0.2). I am facing this problem where I cannot start a DE nor WM post the recent updates to some of the xorg packages. I tried KDE and dwm. The updates done are as below:
[2014-07-29 21:04] [PACMAN] upgraded cryptsetup (1.6.5-1 -> 1.6.5-2)

Okay... I did what our friend johnr suggested and after some research and a little headache, I managed to get my Arch Linux working again by downgrading just 3 packages. Here are the few steps I did:
First of, install this little package called 'downgrade' to help you downgrade the packages.
1. Okay, first we need to remove these 3 packages which requires Xorg >1.16:
# pacman -Rs xf86-input-evdev xf86-video-vmware xorg-server
2. Now we have to downgrade xf86-input-evdev to the exact version 2.9.0-1. Search for it in the list, type its corresponding number and press enter. Example:
$ downgrade xf86-input-evdev
2) xf86-input-evdev-2.9.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (remote)
select a package by number: 2
:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y
add xf86-input-evdev to IgnorePkg [y/n] y
3. Downgrade xorg-server to the exact version 1.15.2-1. We have to do the same as the previous step:
$ downgrade xorg-server
4) xorg-server-1.15.2-1-x86_x64.pkg.tar.xz (remote)
select a package by number: 4
:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y
add xorg-server to IgnorePkg [y/n] y
4. Last but not least, we have to downgrade xf86-video-vmware to the exact version 13.0.2-1:
$ downgrade xf86-video-vmware
3) xf86-video-vmware-13.0.2-1-x86_x64.pkg.tar.xz (remote)
select a package by number: 3
:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y
add xf86-video-vmware to IgnorePkg [y/n] y
And that's pretty much it... I hope it helps!
P.S.: As we added those 3 packages to 'IgnorePkg', pacman won't upgrade them unless you remove them from pacman's config file: /etc/pacman.conf.
Created an account just to say that this resolved my issue as well. Thank you so much for such a great, detailed solution!

Slow down in X after kernel and xorg packages updated

Just upgraded to the latest kernel and xorg with the following packages and X has taken a nose dive and slowed down drastically:
kernelcairo-1.10.0-2 kernel26-2.6.35.7-1
mesa-7.8.2-3 nss-3.12.8-1 xf86-input-evdev-2.5.0-1
xf86-video-nv-2.1.18-1 xf86-video-vesa-2.3.0-3
xkeyboard-config-1.9-1 xorg-server-common-1.9.0-1
xorg-server-1.9.0-1 xterm-262-1
Tried reinstalling nvidia, but no help there. Reverting to the previous packages made things good again.
Anyone else experiencing this?

I can confirm nVidia's driver version '260.19.06' fixes this render lag.
This version is available in the AUR
remember to exit xorg and remove the old module after installing
# rmmod nvidia

[No need]Reducing number of post-install packages (fresh Arch + XFCE)

Hi,
I am inspired by posts by slithery in post-install package count; his discussion here and my willingness to follow-foot steps. Need suggestions/tips what packages can be removed based on details below.
1. Defining usage:
Normal PC having XFCE, thunderbird, firefox, yaourt and wine (for MS-Office with 32bit libs unfortunately needed for work) with 64-bit stock kernel. Other utilities include eog (image viewer), PDF viewer, cups, simple-scan, hplip + hplip plugin, dvd burner and some fonts packages.
I have attempted to remain native on XFCE while installing utilities/needs to avoid unnecessary dependencies unless some functionality needed (such as eog).
2. Current package count
[archpc ~]$ pacman -Qe | wc -l
143
[archpc ~]$ pacman -Q | wc -l
539

5. Packages removable IMO
More could be possible based on suggestions, but IMHO and is it safe?:
|Package Name | Reason |
|---------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------
|man-db 2.7.1-1 | For me: Wiki, Google and Forums are > what I need. |
|man-pages 3.81-1 | For me: Wiki, Google and Forums are > what I need. |
|xterm | xfce4-terminal is installed so is it needed? |
|reiserfsprogs | No need for reiser FS support (if it is what package does). |
|jfsutils | No need for JFS support. |
|xfsprogs | No need for XFS support. |
|lvm2 | I think no need for logical VM (but not sure). |
|mdadm | I think no need for md devices monitoring/managing. ]
|---------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------
|xfwm4-themes | No big fan of theming unless required for XFCE. |
|btrfs-progs | No need for btrfs support (if it is what package does). |
|ipw2100-fw | No need for Intel centrino drivers. |
|ipw2200-fw | No need for Intel PRO/wireless. |
|zd1211-firmware | I think no need for in-kernel26 zd1211rw wireless driver. |
6. Please guide what further can be removed.
Thank you for time.
Update: Del packages are already removed based on learning/thread discussion so far.

[SLVD] force using /usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions/libglx.so

Latest versions of catalyst bring powerXpress support - it means that we can now switch between discreet AMD gfx driver and integrated intel gfx driver (and maybe also switch between catalyst and ati oss driver).
I'm working on it now, unfortunatelly it's not that easy to implement in a right way in Arch. There's no way without doing some ugly tricks (like creating /usr/X11R6 dir). Although i must say that i almost succeeded.
Yes, i know that /usr/X11R6/lib is obsolete and not supported by Arch, but i must to place catalyst's libGL.so somewhere so it wouldn't conflict with libgl's libGL.so (+ more important is to be able to update libgl package without problems), and that directory is looking good.
Basically this whole powerXpress suport = linking libGL and libglx libraries into right place. Let me show you some functions:
switching libGL:
function switch_to_amd() {
ln -snf /usr/X11R6/lib/fglrx/fglrx-libGL.so.1.2 \
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2
ln -snf libGL.so.1.2 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1
ln -snf libGL.so.1 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so
ldconfig /usr/X11R6/lib
function switch_to_intel() {
ln -snf /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 \
/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2
ln -snf libGL.so.1.2 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1
ln -snf libGL.so.1 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so
ldconfig /usr/X11R6/lib
switching libglx:
function switch_to_amd() {
ln -snf /usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions/fglrx/fglrx-libglx.so \
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions/libglx.so
function switch_to_intel() {
ln -snf /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so \
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions/libglx.so
I've created /etc/ld.so.conf.d/catalyst.conf with:
/usr/X11R6/lib
inside. I've also added /usr/X11R6/lib into PATH in /etc/profile in 1st place (just in case).
And it's working fine (i mean catalyst is working fine) untill i will install libgl (so it's not fine)... After restart, when running X server screen goes blank and i cannot do anything (even when it's switched to amd). /var/log/Xorg.0.log looks fine, no errors, it's longer than usuall with those lines:
[ 2515.883] (II) Power Button: Close

[ 2515.962] (II) fglrx(0): Interrupt handler Shutdown.
but it doesn't look relevant.
I don't know is it:
- /usr/X11R6/lib that is chosen after /usr/lib
- OR /usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions/ that is chosen after /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/ - i though that updates should be taken in 1st place by default
Maybe both of them?
Right now i'm thinking that this is the problem of /usr/X11R6/lib that need to be taken before /usr/lib, so my question is same as the question in topic of this post.
I will really appreciate any help.
Btw: there's only one file in /usr/X11R6/lib : /usr/X11R6/lib/fglrx/fglrx-libGL.so.1.2
+ there's only one file in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions : /usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions/fglrx/fglrx-libglx.so
I took this whole solution and scripts from SUSE (AMD's solution is really ugly). SUSE also doesn't like /usr/X11R6/lib, but they used it and there it seems to work. I mean i don't have SUSE, i just see their catalyst packaging script.

've installed libgl, then removed /usr/lib/libGL.so* and problem persist. Then i reinstalled libgl, and removed /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so - it was working fine...
This may be because of a fallback option that if libglx.so is not found , xorg uses libglx.xorg .
But libglx.so owned by catalyst (/usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions/libglx.so) should be found, and is found if only libglx.so owned by libgl (/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so) is not present. And if the last one is absent i can see in Xorg.0.log that xserver/catalyst is using that one placed in updates dir, not libglx.xorg.
Now i removed libgl, and removed /usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions/libglx.so, so catalyst should got troubles, restart X and same problem: blank screen with only one char sign on top left corner: _
So obviously catalyst need that /usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions/libglx.so
I just don't know how to force using /usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions directory over /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions dir...
Maybe i need something like LD_PRELOAD or something.
This maybe not clear but what i'm trying to reach right now is to get catalyst working when libgl package is present, cuz it's looking like good begining.
Lone_Wolf wrote:It does look like xorg doesn't entirely folllow ldconfig / symbolic links , so i'm inclined to suggest to keep things as simple as possible and change only what's really necessary .
Ofcourse, i also don't like this whole /usr/X11R6/lib thing. Hell no, i even don't got intel gfx , i'm only trying to implement something that can be usefull for others.
And since SUSE know how to use /usr/lib/xorg/modules/updates/extensions directory over /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions i'm sure it's also possible in Arch. Maybe the right and only way is to change something in xserver compilation, i don't know. Right now i'm trying to do this in "easier" way.
Lone_Wolf wrote:
As your libraries have different names as the mesa ones :
place fglrx-libGL.so.1.2 in /usr/lib
put fglrx-libglx.so in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions
for libgl only change the symbolic link just above the binary : /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
for libglx change /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
That ofcourse should work - since it will link to proper libs.
But it's not what i'm trying to reach : catalyst and libgl installed without conflicts.
Lone_Wolf wrote:If that works, you'll atleast know the switch is possible.
Just a mention: this whole linking thing isn't anything new, it was used by linux users for long time so such switch is possible (as i can see they used to use such linking as you suggested but imho it's bad way - it should to be done without pacman's conflicts), now ati is just trying to implement it by default.
This powerXpress support is still in developement, although i can see what way ati picked up, i'm trying to follow it and i'm pretty sure that it will work if i will follow it. The sooner - the better.

Issues with multiple things since Mavericks update

I installed the Mavericks update and since, I have been having multiple problems with different things on my MacBook Pro 13"
1. Printer issues: I have an HP officejet 6500 wireless printer (Officejet 6500 E709n Series), and now it's having major issues with printing, yet was working perfect prior to update. It will either cut out pages when printing PDF documents, or printing so slow that it has to take a break in between printing each document (an issue that all never occurred until update), to print documents back to back, it will stop after one document as though I have no other documents in queue to print, and pauses for an extremely long time (nearly a full minute, no exaggeration here, literally almost a full 60 seconds), something it's never done before this update. My Apps update even did an update to the HP software that is inside the Mac already to use printing (in other words, the mac doesn't need to have the HP software manually installed for it to work, it automatically sees the printer because it is connected to my wireless network just as my Macbook Pro which is also connected wirelessly to my network).
2. Internet issues: am now unable to click on certain links in safari that I was able to use prior to the update, yet they will open fine inside of firefox with no issues, yet I cannot always switch between two different browsers to perform task online (literally have to start all over inside firefox while in the middle of something in safari). Also lots of websites no longer work correctly and I have to constantly clear history and cookies to attempt to use certain sites, at times it will help, other times it wont work period, yet the same exact site will work perfect in firefox (which I do not use, only on my system for use on certain sites for school because in safari prior to the update, I would have issues with only the class site and some links not working at all, no spinning wheel, no errors, just nothing, no response of any kind, basically worse than what it was before the update). Another issue, hit Ctrl+a to select inside Safari and it highlights, but then when you click out of the highlight, it comes back on it's own several times without you hitting anything, just click inside the screen on a blank space (no links, etc) with touchpad.
3. System issues: My system is way slower than what it was prior to the update, click on things and it wont respond at all, then minutes later will eventually respond or pops up the spinning color wheel, which it either never responds or takes an extremely long time to respond. And no matter how much I restart, it doesn't help anything. Even just to sit doing nothing, no clicking or usage on the system, and the color wheel pops up.
4. Mail issues: Mail is now popping up completely blank messages that I have sent out, the person receives it with no issues, yet I cannot look at the message I sent neither in the inbox or the sent items when I need to look at them again, an issue not present prior to update. Also I an now having issues when receiving mail, sometimes it will check for mail and sometimes I have to manually click to make it check the server for mail, an issue not present prior to update as well.
As of now, since I have had the chance to used the system since the update, these are the issues I have had, yet haven't had the chance to check other things, so there may be other issues that are occurring that I'm not aware of at the moment. I knew it would be a mistake to do this "free" update and did so anyway and now having one issue after the next with each application I open to use.
Mac general info:
Mac is one year old, purchased brand new, no shareware programs of any kind installed.
Use for school and basic web surfing use.
Do not install any programs onto system that I'm unsure are safe (basically programs for/from school/school websites only, or from the Mac Apps store only), not even programs like Skype, nor any windows based programs of any kind.
Lots of free memory avail because I save everything onto external hard drives (purchased brand new as well, only 4months old) in case system crash occurs, only things on the system is Itunes music or pics from photo stream that sync to the system when Iphone connected.
Mac system info:
- Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
- Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
- Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
- Software OS X 10.9
- Number of Processors:          1
- Total Number of Cores:          2
- L2 Cache (per Core):          256 KB
- L3 Cache:          3 MB

For those needing help fixing their system and putting it back to Lion or Mountain Lion, this is what I have done to eliminate all my issues in about an hour (depending on your internet connection).
Amazing thing, I just restored my computer back to Mountain Lion, and she's working perfect again, as I knew she would. E-mail popping into mailbox instantly as it should and did before the update, printer working fast as it was before update, no more freezing or glitches of any kind thankfully and finally. Here is the link that is through the Apple site to direct you on how to put your system back and get rid of Maverick's, that is assuming that is what you would like to do and also includes link for those wanting to try fixing the issue if that is your preference (most of this info is for those with mountain lion and some with the previousverisoin of OS X lion).
If you want to keep Maverick's here is a good post on the apple discussion board to help you out:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6161
If you just want to totally get rid of it and put back what you had before, this is the short version of how to do so:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
NOTE: This particular link has a lot of info on what to do for different situations, it is a bit lengthy, yet still very helpful.
OS X Mountain Lion: Reinstall OS X (direct from Apple support site, not someone else):
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10763?viewlocale=en_US
OS X: About OS X Recovery (also from apple support directly and includes some instructions just the same as previous links above):
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
Just in case you aren't sure what it will all look like as you are doing things, this is a link to show you a few pics of what you will see as you as you are going through the process, it can be helpful for those who aren't sure what they are doing or how to do things at all:
http://www.apple.com/osx/recovery/
This is a way to download the Mountain Lion disk info from the server
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1433
I hope this helps someone, it was amazing for me and my system is working perfect again like it was, battery life is way better went from like 3 hours to like 5 (not on full charge by the way, after it sat for a while doing the online update which took a while so that's saying something alone, huge improvement). I plan to wait a while before attempting to reinstall Maverick's, long enough for them to fix the bugs.

Has anyone had issues with the most recent Yosemite update

I installed Yosemite October of 2014 mainly because I needed to update itunes to continue to help my daughter maintain her music files. Anyway the reason hardly matters. My computer and Yosemite did not get along. Posted up a file of my computer condition for people to look at here and the basic recommendation was to delete this that and the other thing. So I did that and the computer worked somewhat better. However I really am not sure if it was working better because Apple had been making progress with Yosemite ironing out Yosemite bugs. I had not reinstalled any of the software that it was recommended I delete back in October. So I doubt that is an issue.
Two weeks ago while updating, generally, a Yosemite update started downloading to my computer. It is now running 10.10.2.
Since then Mozilla crashes about five times a day and runs very slowly most of the time. Wondering if there is anything I can do or should I just wait it out...hope for the bestv AGAIN. I am encouraged by the fact that over time from October to mid February, Yosemite and my computer kept getting along better and batter. Since the update I am more or less back to square 1 as far as general speed and functionality and behind the eight ball as far as Miozilla goes as it is crashing constantly.
I also do not like how update files are identified in Yosemite. There are times when all you get is a notification that there are updates ready with no identification of what they are. Had I known that was a Yosemite update, I would not have touched it. What is up with this no identification of update files? Trying to ambush us now because people are beginning to avoid their updates? Good grief Apple.
Anyway....any ideas? Just wait it out? Hope Apple gets back on a path of bug fixes for Yosemite? Anybody with a quick fix for this one?

Automatically checking for updates is not the same thing as automatically installing updates and even automatically downloading updates is not the same thing as automatically installing updates. If Apple has now decided to describe them and implement them that way ....that is a mistake!
Here is what I have in my App store preferences although I repeat, I have never changed anything. What items are selected there are the items selected ions ago or defaulted in possibly with iTunes 12.0 installed and I was always in the past been given the opportunity to view any updates BEFORE They installed.
"Automatically check for updates" is checked. That should not cause an issue of any kind. If it is that is a problem not of my making!
"Download newly available updates in the background" is checked with an additional descriptive line of information that reads "you will be notified when the updates are ready to be installed" I was going to uncheck this. Although I did not ever go to this location and change my settings which leads me to believe that this is a default choice in Yosemite or iTunes 12.0 as this is not the way I am used to my updates either coming to me or being installed
"Install app updates" is checked ...Really....with permission, without permission, with notification? What the heck does this line really mean? Going to uncheck this
"Install OS X updates" IS NOT CHECKED
"Install system data files and security updates" is checked. This is another one that I am going to uncheck
"Automatically download apps purchased on other macs" is not checked
This system clearly Installed an OS X update without even asking me if I wanted it installed regardless of the fact the box is not even checked. So I have no idea how it managed to do that when the check box for OS X updates is not checked. A big OS X screen came up as the thing started installing leaving little doubt what it was at the point of being too late to do anything about it
There is an interesting element to the relationship between "Download newly available updates in the background" and "Install app updates". If you uncheck the former, a check immediately appears in the box for the latter and the box ix grayed out preventing you from making further changes. So your options are for updates to be downloaded in the background or have updates installed without prior notification. What the heck kind of a choice is that?
I am going to uncheck all of these for the time being except "automatic checking" and "Download newly available updates in the background". The former should not cause a problem and has never in the past caused a problem. Seems to me that I am forced to the latter for now. However to be perfectly honest i no longer have any idea what Apple is doing and I am not completely convinced that they know either.....not any more
I am going to go to Apple Tech Support and get full descriptions from them as it appears possible that they have changed their definitions and descriptive materials with regard to update activity either in Yosemite or iTunes.
Finally, this issue with automatic checking has nothing to do with Mozilla crashing five times a day in Yosemite. That is a separate problem and I guess I am just going to have to hope that Apple Yosemite bug fixes brings this back under control.

ATV Post 2.3 update: i have exhausted all options....what to do next?

after all my attempts to get my atv to work again, my atv is useless post 2.3 update. remote doesnt respond/atv freezes.......
any further suggestions.............

Hello, scouseboy02.
I would recommend trying the steps in this article to troubleshoot the iOS device not being recognized in iTunes. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. If the issue still persists, try all remaining steps in the article.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Also, try testing other USB ports as well as disable any security software installed.
Cheers,

Open-vm-tools issues with VMware in Arch64?

Is anyone else having any issues with VMware Workstation 6.5 and open-vm-tools? I seem to have it installed properly, but my mouse isn't automatically disengaging or anything like it should. Do I need to edit my xorg.conf at all for them to be working properly?

E.g. just follow, if you didn't that.
Is there issue just with workstation or Server, Player too ? Dou you have issue with earlier vmware version ?

Post install package installation on RHEL5

Hi,
Can I have some advise please.
When I installed Oracle's RHEL5 Linux OS I failed to select quite a lot of packages that I needed (like Apache for example.)
I've been double clicking on the RPM packages and getting lots of dependacy errors and searching though the other CD's trying to find the dependencies and of course running into more dependancy problems.
I am not yet in a position to buy the support agreement as I just want to get the server working!
So my question is - Is there any easy way to do post install package upgrades/installs or should I just reinstall the OS?
I didn't have these problems with RHEL4 so any help would be appreciated. If I have to reinstall thats OK, I'm just getting nowhere fast at the moment.
Kind regards,
James
ps I tried copying all the RPMS to the server and running createrepo but that didn't help either and of course, simple packages (with no dependents like sendmail-cf worked fine)

Hi,
Well rather then complaining I just went ahead and manually resolved all my dependencies.
To make this convenient I copied all RPM's to the server and issue rpm -ivh enough times till I found all dependencies.
Issues arose when the required rpm wasn't identified by it's rpm filename but a quick search on Google identified the rpm to which the SO belonged.
As an example installing 'squirrelmail' took about 15 rpm runs until successful. Whilst this doesn't compare well with 1 yum run :-) it really didn't take very long.
Kind Regards,
James

Try updating your mdf device package as well. Device package for Common Services.
For current Nexus device package issue, each device package is not individual, but has some dependant packages. Without which they are tend to fail during installation check.
You can select all the available device packages and try to install. It seems you dont have SharedDcmaIOS (3.1.7) installed and hence the package is failng due to pre-requisite.
You have to install each package which fails which consistancy check on other packages.
For mdf package update, you can select common service as well and check for update.
There may be some 3850 device packages already available, please share output of following command for us to see :
NMSROOT/bin/psucli -p rme -q -all
-Thanks

Xorg packages 4 catalyst

Good time of day everybody. I need some help with catalyst. I can't install catalyst because i can't get required xorg packages.
The main problem is (how i think) xorg-server. Needed xorg-server version is < 1.7.0 especial with fedora's no backfill patch.
I can't compile it under the 31-32 kernels, because dependences are not correct & compilation always ends with errors, i don't know all packages & versions of them required to fix dependences & compile xorg-server. Already compiled xorg-server is only for 30 version of kernel...
So can any1 give me those files already precompiled 4 31-32 kernels. or it will be better if link or even repository. Oh btw i ask 4 31-32 kernel because i'm going to install arch on laptop & i don't know about drivers for some devices under 32 version of kernel (they may work not correctly) .
I need x86_64 xorg-packages with which can work catalyst driver.
Thank you for help!

Trouble posting an app update

Hi,
Has anyone been able to post an app update and sent it successfully to Apple to get under review? I have an app on the App Store that I am trying to get to update, and when I tried to send in the .zip using the Upload form, it said it failed the codesign verification. But I tried the codesign thing on my machine and that worked fine and said it passed. I was finally able to send it through the Application Loader successfully, but it still says "Waiting for Upload". I have never gotten the Application Loader to work right, and I don't think it checks the file correctly.
There seems to be a problem that my current version application is not able to be downloaded by users. It says my app is currently being modified in the App Store when they try to download it. I thought the apps were supposed to stay online until the new one becomes available? Does anyone know how to remove an application from the list in the Program portal, if the status is "Waiting for Upload"?
Thanks,

I was able to get my app out of the Waiting for Upload. It was one of two things or both combined.
1. I followed the directions for multiple applications and uploaded again.
2. I tried to update the update notes to say the update was to fix Apple's Distribution Certification issue and ran into an issue that the update text field could only be 64 characters long so I trimmed down my old update description to 63 characters.
Then magically it appeared.
I'm onto updating my second app. We'll see if that makes it beyond waiting for upload.

Hi,
I guess you can use company code itself. Talk to your basis guy or else if you have some expertise & Authorization try out PFCG.
