Pacman -Syu includes pkgs kdelibs and kdemultimedia

Please advise regarding the subject pkgs which recently caused loss of functions in Kde.
Are these pkgs still capable of causing disruption?
Can the -Syu system be corrected to eliminate defective pkgs?

yes unfortunately this is one of the drawbacks of rolling release systems. that is why i have been so vocal about filing bugs. that way IF broken packages are in the repos it will not be for long. I don't know if the maintainer of kde had those two packages in the testing repo first or not but there are a base core of kde apps that maintainers should ALWAYS put into the testing repo befiore releasing on the unsuspecting public. KDE is too big and important for its users to have to fiddle around with to try and fix bugs.

Pacman -Syu fscked up my system

I ran in a disk-full situation while running pacman -Syu. This totally and irreversably ruined my system . After downloading all packages (everything since the last full update of 20 august) it ran the usual pacman checks and then started installing the packages. After a few succesfull installs the / filesystem was full and installing failed from thereon. Yet pacman went on and on with the remaining packages, including a new kernel which also failed miserably and from there it went nasty. Messages from ldconfig about invalid ELF headers in libraries etc.. Yet pacman continued like nothing happened.
After it had finally finished, my system was unusable and also beyond repair. First i freed up some disk space (/bin/rm still worked). But pacman would not run anymore (segmentation error). Pacman --debug also crashed. Just about everything i tried to start, failed with /urs/lib/libetcetera errors about invalid ELF headers.
Finally i tried rebooting but that didn't work (it could not locate the root filesystem), which was no surprise having seen all the error messages during the installation of the kernel package.
I'm left with no alternative but to download a fresh iso image and continue from there.
With all the checks from pacman during its upgrades, apparently there is no check or warning for a safe marging of free diskspace. Wouldn't that be a nice feature? It also would be nice if pacman would just stop after the first failed package.

11639 is probably about the same issue. Although this person could still use pacman to repair his system. I can imagine more people could run into this situation.
I see pacman makes a estimate on required disk size before installation. Maybe just add some percentage extra as a safety margin?
And again, don't let pacman continue after the first failed package. A simple "Errors occured. Continue Y/n?" would be enough.

[SOLVED] pacman -Syu on 10/17/2012, systemd can't load kernel modules

Ok, I did a [pacman -Syu] on my laptop, and everything went well. So I decided to upgrade my PC as well, did a reboot and then couldn't ssh into it.
Had to access the machine, and found
# systemctl --failed

LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.

JOB = Pending job for the unit.
3 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.
so it failed to load kernel modules...

understand why systemd isn't loading the modules when it was working stable enough to act as a headless server before. However, I've only been a week or so with systemd and might have overlooked something in the configs. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Please. I'm desperate.

Yep, I got that far, and tried the same advice from a different user with a 'tee' command which did the same thing, but unfortunately the forcedeth module can't be loaded because its in a different directory than the 'uname -r' specification allows modprobe to search for. I posted my attempts here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1181940

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).

Pacman -Syu and now keyboard only works as root kde

I did a pacman -Syu and now keyboard only works as root kde
Users can use keyboard in the basic console and this is a failure within KDE or the X-server.
On this upgrade I needed to add the portmap daemon to rc.conf.
I am running kerrnel 2.6.5-2. The upgrade lifted KDE to KDE 3.2.2. Xfree86 was upgraded previously and did not present this problem so the KDE upgrade is under suspicion.
My rc.conf daemons list is DAEMONS=(portmap syslogd klogd !pcmcia network netfs crond fam cups kdm)
Is there something extra I need to add?

Hi colnago,
I tidied up my daemons, after considering how you've set yours. I agree portmap and fam are not useful. I now understand that the upgrade was leaning on fam so that it noticed portmap was missing... a red herring issue, perhaps?
I had no means of getting a dmesg log readout, because of the keyboard crashing. So I have patiently reinstalled kde 3.2.1, by way of adding the components one by one from /var/cache/pacman/pkg/. That works, so I can now pause and investigate if there are any any known issues with the 3.2.2 upgrade that shed light.
I did get an indicator that the DCOP server did not function properly. This happened as warnings and errors, when I installed an additional user.
Thanks

[SOLVED] Did pacman -Syu and now gdm, gnome, and pacman won't work

Hi everyone, I did a search for my problem, but cannot find the solution. Basically, I updated my computer this morning and as soon as the packages got installed my computer crashed. I am using another computer right now. These were the packages that were upgraded: dbus-core, bluez, dbus, gsfonts, libcups, libgdiplus, mono, openssl.
So after I installed the packages, my screen went black with some error message (don't remember what it is now. I believe it was something about GDM not working.) So I rebooted and "rpcbind" and "File Alteration Monitor" failed. Then I got a bunch of Gdm error messages with "gdm-binary[46081]: WARNING: GdmLocalDisplayFactory: maximum number of X display failures reached: check X server log for errors" as the last message. I don't know how to check the X server log for errors so I logged in and tried pacman -Syu again. I got this error "pacman: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8: invalid ELF header." I also tried startx and gnome-session , but they both failed to work as well. It seems like I'm having a graphics error. I don't know what to do now. Any help would be appreciated.

Eivuwan wrote:Hi everyone. After some thinking, I realized that as attached as I am to Arch, I do not have as much free time as I did in the past to tinker with it. So I manually mounted my IPod and copied everything in my home folder to it. Then I installed Ubuntu. Maybe I'll come back to Arch one day, but for now, farewell. Thanks for all your help.
Wise decision -- Ubuntu is very stable (we used it extensively in my last place of business; I'm now retired). I've gone a different route, since I prefer to start small, build the environment I want and nothing more (which was my reason for choosing Arch). My preferred environment is pretty minimal -- no desktop system (no Gnome or KDE), just a window manager (dwm) and the apps I need. I did a test install in the last day or so and learned enough about Slackware (I first used it in the early 90s when it was pretty much the only Linux distribution) to convince myself that it will work for me. It's more of a pain to get the apps installed than Arch, certainly, but once you know how to do it and where to find them, it's not really a problem. But my objective is the same as yours -- get away from Arch's rolling releases. Again, as an old hand at both individual development and managing large software projects, what Arch is trying to do is difficult. Because the various components of the system are updated more or less continuously, it's impossible to thoroughly test the whole thing every time it changes. So on any particular day, you are likely to see problems, as happened to you, me, and other folks who have started threads in this category. And sometimes the problems are so severe you end up with a non-functioning system, as happened to both of us.
I would hope that, in the future, the powers-that-be at Arch would consider periodic, thoroughly tested releases, say every 6 months like Ubuntu and OpenBSD. The fundamental machinery of Arch is excellent (pacman, etc.), installation is easy, the documentation is adequate (I'm not as impressed by the wiki as others seem to be -- see the OpenBSD or FreeBSD documentation; what's available for Slackware is also very good). But I think there are tremendous quality hazards in the rolling release methodology, and forcing it on Arch's users is a bad idea, I think. It can be optional, for the adventurous. This is exactly how the OpenBSD people operate. There's a release every 6 months that is invariably rock solid. If they find problems after the release, they will make changes on a STABLE cvs branch. But you can also, if you choose, run what is on the cvs trunk, which they designate CURRENT, if you are so inclined and willing to take the chance on less thoroughly tested code. This is more or less equivalent to Arch now. I'm suggesting that Arch consider adding a STABLE version.

Pacman and pacman -Syu

I was 100% sure I already posted this message but it is not here, I think I have done something terribly wrong with the submit button. :oops:
As everybody (should) know in case you do a pacman -Syu and a newer version of pacman is out, you should stop it, then upgrade only pacman and after do again pacman -Syu.
Could it be possible to have pacman that checks if there is a newer version available and in that case do only pacman upgrade?
This should save (especially newcomers) many problem.
I know that newcomers start to take advantage from a such feature only from 0.6 but somewere we have to start.
I think pacman is this case can have two operating mode:
1) pacman -Syu
2) pacman see a newer pacman version
3) pacman warn the user to do a pacman -S pacman before the pacman -Syu and stop. Eventually with the option to force the -Syu anyway. If somebody wants to mess up his/her system they should be free to do it
Another way can be
1) pacman -Syu
2) pacman see a newer pacman version
3) pacman automatically update itself and after stop warning the user that pacman has been update and now he/she need to start pacman -Syu again

I think this is a good idea. You should submit a feature request to the bugtracker.

2) See never pacman version
3) "Do you want to update pacman y/n"
4) If yes upgrade pacman
5) Continue with normal update.

[SOLVED] Pacman -Syu Warning and Error

I want to update my system, but the first weird thing I notice after pacman -Syu is this warning message:
warning: dependency cycle detected:
warning: util-linux will be installed before its udev dependency
And then, when checking for conflicts, pacman throws this about some existing Xorg files:
(100/100) checking for file conflicts [######################] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
xorg-xmessage: /usr/bin/xmessage exists in filesystem

xorg-xmessage: /usr/share/man/man1/xmessage.1.gz exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
Is it safe to force the install with a pacman -Syuf? I prefer to ask for your advice before I end breaking something...

Thanks! All those files belonged to an orphan and now extinct package called xorg-apps.
pacman -Runs xorg-apps fixed the problem.

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

Thanks Snowman,
Well........ for better or worse..... I did "rm -Rf /usr/include/tunepimp" ..... then redid pacman -Syu and it appears to be working fine now. I suppose I could have just moved the /tunepimp dir to something like /tunepimp-backup.... to be safer....but it did appear to work anyway.

blender is using the NAN makefiles to build, so we can access some better

We also ship the plugins, but most of these features can be accessed only
from the users home directory. Therefore, you wanna copy everything from
/usr/share/blender to ~/.blender (some are hidden files!). The browser-
plugin builds but is using an old mozilla API, this is why it doesn't work
and we don't ship it.
Happy blending!

Am i correct in doing it this way ?????
It seemed to work ok.

First off - the antesis mirror is known to be borky and cause pacman 2.8 to die like that - remove it from your mirrors list to ensure the 'death' doesn't happen again.
Otherwise, that's a fine way to ignore the package until the mirrors sync correctly - which I'm assuming is the problem (I haven't really looked at the dbs yet)

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?

Error when doing a recent pacman -Syu

I'm getting the following error when trying to pacman -Syu. I've shown all the output so my sources can be seen as well:

Haven't seen pacman kick an error out like this before and I'm looking for some next steps.
Thanks.

Step 1. Search and read the forums for similar error solutions before posting.
Step 2. If nobody have done it so far file a bug report http://bugs.archlinux.org. (Hint: use pacman -Qo path_to_the_file_in_question to check what package owns this file - do this before step 3).
Step 3. Force an upgrade by adding f option to pacman options.

Pacman -Syu includes pkgs kdelibs and kdemultimedia
