[SOLVED] Awesome's not loading

I did some updates and now I awesome won't start, giving this output instead
awesome: error while loading shared libraries: libev.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
After a bit of googling I found this to be a pretty common error, which just requires to recompile awesome, so I reinstalled awesome from the AUR. Since that didn't solve the problem, I tried getting rid of libev and insalling awesome. It installed just fine, but I still got the same error. I also tried awesome-git but with the same result.
I guess I'm doing something wrong since this is fixed for most people by just compiling awesome again but after a few hours of tinkering I don't seem to find what it is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First of all thanks for your reply.
I do have Libev 4.01-1 and it-s in /usr/lib/libev.so.4 too.
I've removed awesome with yaourt -Rns, then cleared the cache from not installed packaged, and installed awesome again. I repeated this for awesome-git just in case, but the same thing happens. I downloaded the package from the AUR manually and then installed, again, same thing happens.
I must be missing something stupidly obvious, but I can't put my finger in it.
Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: A simple whereis awesome showed that /usr/local/bin/awesome existed, apparently I did this at some point (don't really remember). Running /usr/bin/awesome everything works great.
So yes, pretty stupid on my part!

[Solved] Menu Editor not loading.

I installed py solitaire, it didn't show up in the list. I tried to open up the menu editor, and that will not load either. I have fam and alacarte installed, and I am not sure what is wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: alacarte will not run as a normal user, only as root. Is this normal?

[solved] TV card not loaded after upgrade to kmod

After the upgrade to mkinitcpio and kmod replacing module-init-tools, my TV card (Hauppauge WinTV Nova-S) is not loaded.
Downgrading mkinitcpio and re-installing module-init-tools and regenerating my initramfs and all is well.
Is there any extra setup needed with kmod? There are no man files in the kmod package so I'm at a loss what to do.
Incase it helps, here are (maybe not all) the modules related to my tv card when downgraded:

Yes - initramfs regenerated after each upgrade and downgrade.
Forgot to mention I was also suffering from the 'Filename too long' FS#27862 and your updated kmod in that bug's comments fixed that. I'm guessing that my issue is unrelated.
With both kmod packages, initramfs complains that /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf doesn't exist, but I've never added anything in there anyway and the kmod package doesn't contain that file.

[Solved] Synaptics driver not loaded

Recently im getting
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
when I run synclient
Touchpad still works but the synaptics driver is apparently not loaded. I have xf86-input-synaptics installed.
I can't figure out how to load the synaptics driver.

I've mostly found ubuntu forums with the issue, they all linked to the debian wiki on synaptics which didn't help much. Even the allmighty archwiki had no troubleshooting instructions for synaptics.

[SOLVED]Custom DSDT not loading - OEM battery doesn't work - Sony Vaio

EDITING ORIGINAL POST TO POST SOLUTION so I don't do a massive bump
Installed windows and ran the BIOS flasher that came with the battery. Didn't work until I changed a line in the plaintext configuration file (config.ini or something) it comes with. Changed "Capacity: 20" to "Capacity: -10". This changed the battery charge requirement from 20% to negative ten percent (any negative number will do), allowing the program to run and flash the BIOS. Didn't realize I could do that, but it fixed the problem 100%.
#### BEGIN ORIGINAL POST: ################################
Hey guys,
I'm a bit of a linux noob, but I've spent many hours this week trying to fix this issue on my own and have learned a lot about making custom kernels, hardware stuff, ACPI, and ABS. However, nothing I've done has worked and I've hit a wall. For reference, I'm on a Sony Vaio VGN-FZ4000 with linux-3.0 base kernel, gnome3/gdm. The battery is made in china and doesn't list a manufacturer, just model number BPS8, 52000mAh.
[Backstory]
So I recently got an OEM battery to replace the broken original, which hasn't worked since before I installed arch (though it worked with an Arch install I did a couple years ago). When I first plugged it in, the gnome battery symbol popped up listing the battery at 0% with an exclamation icon. I unplugged from AC power and the laptop still ran, but the battery monitor just said it was at 0% and 'Estimating' remaining time. I figured this was a glitch with gnome or just because it was this battery's first cycle so I let it run down until it hard-crashed. Then I plugged back into AC and tried to turn on the computer, but it wouldn't do anything until I removed the battery.
Looking into the problem I discovered this was due to the ACPI firmware table DSDT being compiled for Windows, which has, shall we say, fewer restrictions on sanity than the Intel ASL compiler used for UNIX systems. Sure enough I extracted /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT to find that its section about the battery contained the entry 'Zero' for Battery Technology, which translates to "non-rechargeable", rather than 'One', which makes it chargeable. acpitool confirmed this; my system thought the battery was non-rechargeable and was constantly discharging it. Needless to say I've only been putting it in temporarily to test solutions since.
[/backstory]
[tl;dr] DSDT firmware contains malformed battery description, now I can't get my system to run with a custom DSDT. [/tl;dr]
Attempted solutions:
[1]
Extract, modify, recompile DSDT and include it with the kernel compilation .config options
CONIFG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT=y
CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE="/usr/src/custom_dsdt.hex
CONIFG_STANDALONE=n
as suggested here, a page linked to by the arch wiki page on DSDT.
I followed the instructions but no matter what this has generated errors during the kernel compilation, sometimes due to every line containing unexpected \231 (or other numbers) characters, sometimes finding some error in the DSDT file and then claiming that the driver it was compiling (ol.c somewhere in the drivers/acpi section I believe) had references to undefined functions all over the place. I CANNOT compile with a custom DSDT specified.
[2]
Place recompiled DSDT in /lib/initcpio/custom.dsdt and add 'dsdt' to the HOOKS in mkinitcpio (and rebuild the initramfs-linux-*.img, of course). Another version of this included recompiling the kernel with CONFIG_STANDALONE disabled.
In neither of these situations has the running DSDT ever been anything but the BIOS-supplied one and not once has the battery shown any different behavior.
acpitool and $ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info have consistently claimed the information specified in the BIOS-supplied DSDT; the battery is non-rechargeable and is discharging at an unknown rate. Sometimes acpi will even report that the battery has zero capacity.
The arch wiki does say mkinitcpio doesn't support the dsdt hook as of 2.6.30, but [1] didn't work either and mkinitcpio -H dsdt still told me to try this so I did.
[3]
The final solution I have tried has been to do [2] but to recompile the kernel with the legacy support for battery and ac adapter stuff disabled. I tried this because it was suggested in the kernel.log;
Sep 13 11:51:03 localhost kernel: [ 11.740059] ACPI: Deprecated procfs I/F for AC is loaded, please retry with CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER cleared
Sep 13 11:51:03 localhost kernel: [ 11.753434] ACPI: AC Adapter [ADP1] (on-line)
The corresponding line now reads
ACPI: AC Adapter [ADP1] (on-line)
(The same goes for the battery BAT0)
but all this does is remove the battery/ and adp1/ folders from /proc/acpi/ and break acpitool functionality. The log still doesn't mention the dsdt hook, either.
[4]
The old way to do this was to use the acpi-dsdt-initrd-patch-* patch, but that hasn't been updated for modern kernels, presumably because of the new "functionality" from mkiniticpio. The current kernel .config doesn't include any options for ACPI initrd/initramfs support or reading a DSDT from initramfs, which is the functionality provided by this patch.
This covers all the methods I've been able to find on the internet and I'm at a loss for what to do. Am I doing something wrong in [1]? Under what conditions will the compiler fail/succeed with a CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE?
When I recompile I fix the 'Zero' definition and a couple compiler errors and warnings. The errors come from section length definitions, which read as 0x00000000 rather than the appropriate max-min value so I fix those, and the warnings come from _T_* methods belonging to the compiler, so I refactor the code to remove the initial underscores. The last warning comes from an isolated And statement that's within brackets (compiler complains it doesn't do anything), but if I remove that the compiler fails hard.
Thanks to anyone who's read this far. Please let me know if you have any ideas how to get my system to use a customized DSDT.

Thanks for the offer, Radioactive man However, I'm actually compiling a customized kernel with the linux-ck and -sony patches, so your packages won't help. (The custom kernel works fine and I've tested this battery behavior on the the regular, -ck, and -sony kernels as well)
Anyway, so I tried another compile with
CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD=n in addition to the options listed in [1] and that time it compiled.
Unfortunately it still didn't load the DSDT!
I did catch a quick little error message that turned up in kernel.log though;
/var/log/kernel.log:Sep 15 11:50:24 localhost kernel: [ 0.925780] acerhdf: unknown (unsupported) BIOS version Sony Corporation/VGN-FZ4000E/R2110J7, please report, aborting!
acerhdf is a fan controller module for the Aspire One, and perhaps I left that in the kernel config and it's preventing the custom DSDT from loading, even though the acerhdf module never gets loaded itself, nor is it in my rc.conf or anything else... If that was the cause of all this, I'm gonna be angry...
Anyway, this message does not appear with my latest kernel build because I took off the custom DSDT option, hoping to be able to use ACPI_CUSTOM_METHOD=y, which supposedly allows one to inject a custom AML method into a debug fs. It wouldn't have worked anyway, as it doesn't let you modify Device sections, but even with a dummy method insertion it didn't give my root modification privileges as it was supposed to...
Will try recompiling AGAIN with this CONFIG_ACERHDF=n (it's simply 'not set' in my current .config), while also enabling the custom kernel etc. If this doesn't work I have no idea what I'll do.
Anyway, thanks for your help and time:

[SOLVED] ALSA firmware not loading properly with kernel 3.8.6-1

Hi All,
I have a E-MU 1820 card + breakout box that have been working beautiful under Archlinux for years but now something happen.
It still work OK under windows (dual boot same computer).
Normally during boot all indicators on the breakout box blink and then only thin show is clock setting indicator. But now all the indicators still blink but instead it is a -12 dB indicator that light up and not the clock settings and no sound.

Any thoughts or ideas about what might have happen or how to progress in troubleshooting.
All input most welcome.

Thank you mich41!
It looks like a kernel bug.
I downgraded to 3.7.10-1 then firmware loaded OK and I could play sounds.
Upgraded to 3.8.6-1 then the firmware fail to load.
Something looks not ok with 3.8.6-1.
Best regards,

[SOLVED] Awesome is not recognizing widgets

Hey everybody,
So this is my first (non-virtualbox) arch install. I just switched over from crunchbang. I had awesome installed on crunchbang and used that as my primary window manager. So I saved all of my configs and everything so that I could use them on arch. I got arch installed and then awesome, and awesome works well. I am using it right now. But as soon as I started trying to add widgets it wouldn't let me. Every time I restart it awesome reverts to the rc.lua in /etc/xdg... and gives me a warning message saying:
Oops, there were errors during startup!
/home/nathan/.config/awesome/rc.lua:117: attempt to call global 'widget' (a nil value)
The line it is referring to is this:
separator = widget({ type = "textbox" })
Also, all of the requires at the top currently look like this:
-- Standard awesome library
local gears = require("gears")
local awful = require("awful")
awful.rules = require("awful.rules")
require("awful.autofocus")
-- Widget and layout library
wibox = require("wibox")
-- Theme handling library
local beautiful = require("beautiful")
-- Notification library
local naughty = require("naughty")
local menubar = require("menubar")
So I tried to google and search the awesome wiki and the arch wiki for how it is done on arch. From everything I have found I am doing it correctly, but I must be missing something. One thought was that it might be a result of the most recent awesome update. I think it was on the 4th. Any ideas?

[solved] aesni_intel module not loaded since switch to kmod

Since installing kmod-4-1 as replacement for module-init-tools the AES-NI instruction optimized crypto modules (aesni_intel) don't get loaded automatically anymore.
CPU is a SandyBridge Core-i5 2500K; aes-x86_64 isn't loaded anymore either. The CPU definitely supports AES-NI.
Is this a problem or am I supposed to write those modules down by hand in rc.conf MODULES section?
Kind regards

Nevermind. I found the bug -- I'll make sure this is fixed for kmod5.

A module alias can resolve to many modules -- in this case, the alias 'aes' resolves to "aes_generic", "padlock_aes", "aesni_intel", and "aes_x86_64". modprobe, including the library equivalent, should insist on trying to insert all of these. kmod does, but it makes the mistake of quitting if one of them errors out. To wit:
with module-init-tools:
# modprobe -v aes
insmod /lib/modules/3.2.2-1-ARCH/kernel/crypto/aes_generic.ko.gz
insmod /lib/modules/3.2.2-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/crypto/padlock-aes.ko.gz

[SOLVED] Intel microcode not loaded - already available in the bios?

I'm getting ready to the linux 3.17 release and thought I should manually install the Intel microcode.
I noticed that I didn't even have the package installed, so that was my first stop.
After doing the steps outlined in the wiki, I'm not sure it's actually loaded.
The `sig` and `revision` in the available patch and the kernel output is the same.
Does this mean I already have the microcodes updated through the BIOS, or is this irrelevant?
And if it's irrelevant, any idea what I'm doing wrong?

But iucode_tool says an update is available (ref: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Microcode)

I think iucode_tool is just saying that an update has been released for your cpu model.
But yout particular cpu has already it in place.
I don't know if it is the bios to update the microcode or your cpu has been shipped with the new firmware.
Thanks! I don't really care As long as I haven't failed the installation process, I'm happy.

[solved] AMD Ucode not loading on boot

Its being called twice during the early hooks stage of udev.
i have already googled and found I needed to have installed the AMD Ucode package. I have version 2012.1.17-3 but it is being ignored.
Im getting the error
[unix time stamp i assume] microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin
twice after a long pause.
How do I fix it?

I have put microcode in there as per instructions, but the word microcode was not in mkinitcpio.conf when I installed the system and started seeing the message. I think I added it on instructions in one of the 2 threads or an arch wiki page on the subject. I'll remove it.
The thing is I HAVE the amd-ucode package installed, and i'm STILL getting the message and associated delay on boot. So I'm looking for how I inform it I have installed it?

[SOLVED] KDE Is not loading

HI, i'm been an archlinux user for a while, never have great issues, but now i reinstalled arch in a formated disk and started all over. The thing is that I installed kde basis (following the wiki), but neither kdm via inittab, or kdm via daemon works! it just load the tt1 console and do nothing. No erors, or something. The only difference with previous installation is that the first time i installed kde-meta package, and have no issues
Any thoughts?

Anything in the logs? What happens if you try to start KDE with startx/.xinitrc instead of KDM?

[SOLVED] Module r8169 not loading on boot, can load afterwards...

I am trying to get the network (r8169) to load, currently it doesn't get detected and putting it in MODULES array doesn't do anything (I don't think anything works in MODULES array for me).
Was using 2.6.39 kernel, moved to 3.0.0; same problem.
Once the computer has booted I can easily' sudo modprobe r8169 && sudo dhcpcd eth0' no problems.
Any ideas on how to get it to work? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, why on earth are they auto gen'd? I used archboot to install, you?
Okay, I'll rm them and reboot now.
I also have a /etc/modprobe.d/framebuffer_blacklist.conf:
blacklist aty128fb
blacklist atyfb
blacklist cirrusfb
blacklist cyber2000fb
blacklist kyrofb
blacklist neofb
blacklist nvidiafb
blacklist pm2fb
blacklist radeonfb
blacklist rivafb
blacklist s3fb
blacklist savagefb
blacklist sisfb
blacklist sstfb
blacklist tdfxfb
blacklist tridentfb
blacklist udlfb
blacklist uvesafb
blacklist viafb
blacklist vmlfb
blacklist vt8623fb
Do I need to worry about that? I'm currently using Intel G41 915 integrated.

[SOLVED]Virtualbox drivers not loaded at startup

I followed the wiki and added vboxdrv to my DAEMONS. The only change is that I start it in the background. However, when I start Virtualbox, and then the guest OS within, it gives me an error.
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng @net-profiles @dbus !sshd !netfs @crond @alsa @acpid @ntpd @vboxdrv)
I have to manually
modprobe vboxdrv
in order to start the guest OS. How can I have the vboxdrv started at boot?
also, is there a way to start the guest OS directly, without having to start the Virtualbox console?

Inittab:
# Runlevel 5 starts X environments
x1:5:once:/bin/su work -l -c "/usr/bin/startx -- :11 vt11 > /dev/null 2>&1"
x2:5:once:/bin/su windows -l -c "/usr/bin/startx -- :10 vt10 > /dev/null 2>&1"
x3:5:once:/bin/su windows -l -c "/usr/bin/VBoxManage startvm Ama --type vrdp > /dev/null 2>&1"
The first two start new X sessions, user "work" on vt11 and user "windows" on vt10. The third starts an RDP headless VirtualBox VM as user "windows". When the two X sessions start, they execute ~/.xinitrc (each of ~work/.xinitrc and ~windows/.xinitrc):
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx
VirtualBox
This starts the VirtualBox GUI so I then switch to vt11 or vt10 and select a VM to run. Note each of ~windows/.VirtualBox and ~work/.VirtualBox are completely separate VB configs owned by the separate accounts.
Note that I don't bother with a window manager because I run the VMs full screen anyway, but you can start one if you want within .xinitrc.
You can change "VirtualBox" in .xinitrc to start a specific VM using VBoxManage startvm "MyVMName"
Hope this helps.

Hi smercurio,
      Thank you for replying
      (a) No, having selected the assembly from the "Select .NET Constructor" browser, I , ahem, assumed it and it's location were already known to the OS and LabVIEW(?)   ... but I'll try this ASAP!
      (b) Yes!
FWIW: Since posting this, I've learned a LabVIEW 8.2 station is happy with the same assembly...
Thanks, Cheers!

[Solved]Virtualbox kernel module not loaded

I update my system today and when I try to run Virtualbox...
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
available for the current kernel (3.6.11-1-ARCH) or it failed to
load. Please reinstall the kernel module virtualbox-host-modules or
if you don't use our stock kernel compile the modules with
sudo dkms autoinstall
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
I already had this trouble before and this was the fix
# modprobe vboxdrv
But it doesn't work anymore
Any ideas?
Edit: This just get fixed by itself when restaring my PC. Sorry
