KDE never finish to start after pacman -Syu [SOLVED]

Hi to All.
I have upgraded my system with pacman -Syu (I have to upgrade first broadcom-wl).
after upgrading to new kernel, I reinstalled pacman and nvidia and nvidia-utils
started kde and it begins to start session, but 4 processs get full cpu and never ends the session init
the processes are kbuildsyscoca (2 processes), kded4 and kconf_update
If I start twm instead of kde it works
I readed the forums and althoug not seen something similar, decide to downgrade kernel, and recompile (reinstall broadcom-wl, and nvidia drivers)
then tested again and the same results.
last test was to move my .kde and .kde4 folders to a backup and start kde again (starting from startx and not kdm)
this time it launched a lot (more than 100 kconf_update trying to update some stuff of kopete)
then deinstalled kopete and all kde-meta packages that are not needed now, but still have the same problem,
the 4 processes keep running and the desktop never comes up. (black screen with cursor I can move)
anyone with similar sympthoms?
any thing I can try?
as a summary x seems to work fine (twm starts)
wireless works fine
nvidia works fine
only kde get stuck ant the init
any help appreciated.
Thanks

Hi.
I will post here by parts as the post is too long
test with other user in my system and with root all fails with the same sympthoms
I attach here the logs of the following test done with another user (charo)
steps.
/etc/rc.d/kdm stop
rm /var/log/kdm.log
rm /var/log/xorg.o.mslog
rm /home/charo/.xsession-errors
rm -r /home/charo/.kde
rm -r /home/charo/.kde4
rm -r /tmp/kde-charo
rm -r /tmp/ksocket-charo
rm -r /var/tmp/kdecache-charo
so If I not forhet none, all stuff regarding kde for user charo is non existant
then started kdm
/etc/rc.d/kdm start
then login with user charo in a standard kde4 session
the splash screen comes up and only the 2 fisrt icons come up (between the first and the second almost 2 minutes passes), then the screen goes blue (default background), and a powerdevil error is shown, we can move the mouse, and clicking in the error it dissapear, but eh screen keeps blue without any data (icons, applets, panels, etc), no element is shown
here are the logs

Boot fails after pacman -Syu [SOLVED]

Hello forums,
I did a full system upgrade two days ago. Getting this on boot
early console in decompress_kernel

Booting the kernel.

Bailing out, you are on your own. Good luck.

LVM is fine and root partition is fine. I can mount it manually from initramfs console.
Running "./init" or exit at the console results in kernel panic, root mounted in /new_root or not.
pacman -Syu went without problems.
Thanks in advance.

The issue was initcpio ZFS hook. Evidently, if root partition isn't on ZFS the boot breaks.
In this case, ZFS should be handled by systemd service which will mount ZFS partitions from userland.
Procedure :
inside initcpio console, manually mount the root filesystem, chroot to it and run init
mount /dev/path/to/root /new_root
switch_root /new_root /sbin/init
System boots. Afterwards, remove zfs hook from /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and rerun mkinitcpio. Also check that zfs.service system unit is active and enabled.

I have no pacman.log because i reinstalled Arch...

After pacman -Syu my system won't boot (It is not grub problem!)

My English is not very strong, so you can look at this photo:
http://img262.imageshack.us/my.php?imag … 102os3.jpg
After pacman -Syu I rebooted computer and my system crash.
No hardware changes, notning else change, only I have done system upgrade.
A little bit more information /etc/fstab:
/dev/sda1 /boot blablabla
/dev/sda2 / blablabla
/dev/vg-home/home /home blablabla
Kernel is booting normal (located at /dev/sda1 ; HDD is OK??), but when system starting "software" and checking the file system / (/dev/sda2), you see in photo result.
Any ideas?

I can boot computer from instaliation CD and mount partitions, it is not problem.
I have forgot about emergency booting. But this problem is temporary, there is real problem:
- nvidia-71xx is no longer supported and has been removed from the repositories. Affected users should install xf86-video-nv or xf86-video-vesa, complaints can be sent to nvidia for not providing compatible drivers.
nv driver doesn`t support direct rendering (and 3D), don`t? And I can`t use more archlinux AND other distros after updating to new Xorg?
My video card is Geforce FX5700 (not very bad and old card).

[SOLVED] cannot find root device after pacman -Syu

Today I had a problem after pacman -Syu. Of course, my problem stemmed from not paying attention to the following (from https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57205):
<b>Read pacman's output while upgrading.</b>
I could no longer boot. I received a message "cannot find root device" or something similar indicating a device with the appropriate UUID had not been found and I was being dropped into a recovery shell, then, when I typed exit, an emergency shell, followed shortly by a freeze.
After some investigation it appeared my initramfs was broken/non-existent/something after the install. I booted into a live CD and found that updating pacman again, and mkinitcpio -p linux both displayed the following error: "Failed to create temporary working directory in /tmp". Long story short: mktemp was segfaulting. This should be extremely easy to check if you're having a similar problem. I replaced it with the version on the live CD and ran the pacman update again. Success. If you do this, you may need to make sure your live cd architecture and installed kernel architecture are the same.
I'm not sure of the etiquette here, so I'm posting this in case someone else has the same problem I did; and benefits from a similar solution. I have checked the etiquette post and I don't think it's clear whether it's kosher to post things that don't actually require a solution. However, if I have misinterpreted the rules/etiquette and/or this type of post is considered extraneous please remove it.

You have to use lvm first. As all those vg*, lv*, and pv* commands are actually links to the lvm command, you should have to do something like "lvm vgscan" instead of just "vgscan".
Edit: oh and at that point in the boot process, you are actually in the initramfs still (ash to be specific).
Edit2: I was having issues with a USB keyboard and a new machine (actually just a new bios), and found out that because of windows 8's requriement for a fast POST, the default is to turn off the scanning for usb devices. Though this was for UEFI, and I am not sure if the same would apply for a bios booting machine...

Screen flickering in KDE 4.2 after pacman -Syu

Hi there,
yesterday I did a "pacman -Syu" and since then my screen keeps flickering every now and then when I move my mouse over the screen or when a new dialog pops up. Sometimes it even flickers when the plasma widget RSSNow slides in new articles.
I can't really nail it, but it seems to be worse if there are many plasma widgets and / or windows open.
It seems to be especially bad when one of my two plasma panels is set to "auto hide".
I've tried to play with the advanced Desktop Effect settings like OpenGl mode, texture filter, VSync and such, but nothing improved. Before the system update my NVidia card was happily playing with KWin.
Has anybody had similar experiences over the last couple of days?
I'm using a NVidia Quadro NVS 110M:

I'm still having problems with my screen flickering, jittering and causing me headaches.
Just to make sure it's not the Nvidia driver, I'm testing the open source driver right now instead of the official, proprietary Nvidia one, although it doesn't support any 3D.
I also have the suspicion that cpufrequtils might be the guilty bit. Has anybody had any graphic related problems when running cpufrequtils with the ondemand governor?
Does that make any sense? Could it be the cause of my graphic problems?

Can't start x after "pacman -Syu"

I'm in the middle of installing Arch and had just configured xorg.conf properly for x to function.
I then updated the system using "pacman -Syu" and can no longer start x, xinit/startx only returns an error messege. Here's the log file and xorg.conf:
http://dpaste.com/120121/
http://dpaste.com/120122/
Please help me with this (I might need something step-by-step.) and Thanks in advance.

Computer freezes after pacman -Syu

Did a pacman -Syu and then rebooted after some programs did not work. When rebooting I get

* file system is currently mounted read-only. To remount *
* it read-write: mount -n -o remount,rw / *

/dev/sda3 : Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read reading journal superblock
/dev/sda3 : Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while checking ext3 journal for /dev/sda3
sda is my second drive for backups and documents/music/photos
sdb is the root/boot/swap drive
I commented out /dev/sda3 in fstab and arch booted up but got to the last line which is starting kde??(don't know for sure cause it scrolls by so fast) and then I get a black screen with a steady cursor. I cannot ctl+alt+ anything to get to a tty or out of that screen. So I cannot check any logs or files and I don't know what to do now when the only thing I have been able to do is restart the computer and the same thing happens all over.
I guess I need to get a bootable cd (live cd) to get arch up and try to get a terminal to find problems. But reading the instructions for live cd it appears that I have to be in arch first. I am borrowing a windows computer to get on the internet and research. How can I burn a live arch cd in a windows system?
Or is there something else to try??

I'll bet that skottish will kindly ask you to not cross post and direct people to your other post: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=65113

[SOLVED] gnome-settings-daemon problem after pacman -Syu

Today after updating my hp laptop with pacman -Syu, I noticed that I lost a few of my multimedia key shortcuts. When I tried to fix this with System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts, I get this error:
Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'.
Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not take effect. This could indicate a problem with Bonobo, or a non-GNOME (e.g. KDE) settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME settings manager.
The keyboard shortcut menu comes up as normal, and seems to work like it should for everything but the multimedia keys. I get the same error when clicking on the Appearance & Keyboard menus.
I remember pacman asking me if I wanted to replace gail with gtk2. Could that have anything to do with it?
Any ideas?
Thanks!!!!

Tried it, no change.
I forgot to mention that running "gnome-settings-daemon" in a termal produces:
** ERROR **: You can only run one xsettings manager at a time; exiting
aborting...
Aborted
... and that the pstree shows a "gnome-settings-" entry.
Any other ideas?

[SOLVED] Black screen after kernel boot after pacman -Syu

Hi, after full system upgrade with pacman -Syu, I get after the kernel boot black screen and everything is freezing. Then need to manually shut down the power button!
Normally when my system starts up after the kernel boot I get straight to the command line terminal login.
Can anybody help me how to fix this? Any clues? Any advice is welcome!
The problem is solved by downgrading to kernel 3.6.11.-1
Many thanks for the help from the people on #archlinux !

What have you done about the errors being printed to your logs? You could start by fixing the network error and the broken udev rule...
Are you still using intiscripts? They are no longer supported: https://www.archlinux.org/news/end-of-i … s-support/

[SOLVED] Broken SLiM after pacman -Syu

I know that it's good to understand the rolling release approach from ArchLinux and that an update may have unforeseen consequences.
Yesterday I wasn't that smart and updated my system using pacman -Syu. I'm having the system with SLiM and Cinnamon on top. Now
when I login I get the message: "failed to execute login command".
I already googled the error (SLIM+error) here: https://www.google.nl/#q=slim%20error%2 … %20command
And I've checked .xinitrc and slim.conf. everything looks just fine.
When I put in my ArchLinux cd, boot from it, /mnt my /dev/SDA1, bash and try to see what error I get from the system then I see a message
about PulseAudio (but guess my check was useless ). Anyway, my Pacman log is down here, my log from SLiM and Xorg.
Pacman:
http://pastebin.com/Pe03DVNm
Xorg.0:
http://pastebin.com/AhVnQvex
SLiM:
http://pastebin.com/3LdcUBPc
Am I that stupid? Guess so but well, who can help me out without reinstalling my system?
My image I built with CloneZilla was corrupted so I'm kind of lost for now.

[SOLVED] X fails after pacman -Syu

After a year or so without upgrading (not recommended) I did a pacman -Syu; it took like ages 'cause I was on kernel 2.26, and now my arch is a complete mess: user modules don't load at boot, dhcpcd is not working so I don't have internet access and the X server is erratic too. Now I have to repair it step by step, and I think I should start with X.
Here is the startx/ xinit output:

I guess the gnome-session error with libdevkit-powe-gobject.so.1 is what causes the x server to close. And this is the complete X log:

So you updated everything except gnome-stuff? Update the gnome-stuff.
But I'm all for gnome 2 , and X should work despite of the gnome version or the desktop environment. Shouldn't it?
No, not if you're using gdm or autoboot into gnome or something similar.

This sounds like one of gnome-sessions dependencies have been updated and isn't compatible with gnome-session anymore.

Boot fails after pacman -Syu

Hi, I did pacman -Syu and after this the system did not boot anymore.
I noticed 2.6.18 kernel files
First I got problem with master boot block
then I got: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

- I tried first to change disks/disk1/part3 to change to hdb3 but this failed. then I noticed that a Live boot disk mounted hdd1 hdd2 and hdd3
My bios configuration:
primary IDE controller CD-1
CD-2
secondary IDE controller hd-0 Win
hd-1 Arch
and now I get lost....thanks

initrd /boot/kernel26.img
and now I got:

this error is gone
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init !
and continues with:

> Archlinux v0.7.2 (Gimmick)
:: Starting UDev Daemon
:: Loading Modules
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.10-ARCH/modules.dep: No such file or directory
shouldn't it be 2.6.18 ?
So it seems that CD on the primary IDE and disks on the Secondary IDE
seems to be a problem for upgrading from v0.7.0 to v0.7.2
Shouldn't I swap the IDE flatcables ?
If I should do this is the kernel26.img right for this new hw configuration ?

External HDD (vfat) being mounted ro after pacman -Syu update

Hi all,
I just updated my laptop using pacman -Syu which didn't throw up any errors, but now my external hard drive mounts as Read Only when I plug it in.
I'm using Gnome desktop. This hard drive has worked fine for months. If I add 'rw' to the volume options field, it comes up with "unknown option" or "invalid option" (can't remember which) when I plug the drive in.
The drive is formatted vat (so I can use it on Windows too) and I can mount it manually fine. What's changed with the update that makes it mount ro?
Any help would be great

Didn't know where to find that - thanks
