[SOLVED] GNOME is messed up after full system upgrade

I ran a full system upgrade today (last one was about 1-2 months ago) and it went smoothly.
Everything boots normally, and my default GNOME desktop also boots, but all the icons are messed up, as can be seen in this screenshot.
And worst, the overlay panel (e.g. when pressing the Windows key) is completely b0rked and unusable.
The GNOME desktop is the default one with no modifications that I know of. I tried searching for existing issues but didn't find any.
I'm running Intel Graphics on:
$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
Any ideas?

While typing the post, I bumped into https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gn … ncorrectly
After setting and re-setting my monitor resolution, things seem to fall back into place.
Looks like I'll use the scaling factor hack for a permanent fix.

    I have the same issue also. Something told me not to reboot but I did because I wanted to use my rt-kernel.
    yes, please help because I too have to use Ubuntu-Studio and SuSE's JAD. Both way too bloated and not as fast as Arch..
    I tried to fix the xorg.conf but nothing.

  • [SOLVED] Font rendering messed up after latest freetype2 upgrade.

    I haven't touched my font configuration, but the appearance of most fonts has changed across the board (i.e. in every application) since I upgraded to freetype 2.4.6 yesterday. In particular, the fonts are less strong, and in LibreOffice Calc in particular the spacing is messed up at certain levels of magnification despite having hinting enabled. Here is my ~/.gtkrc-2.0:
    gtk-icon-theme-name = "nuoveXT2"
    gtk-theme-name = "Clearlooks"
    gtk-font-name = "FreeSans 10"
    gtk-xft-antialias = 1
    gtk-xft-hinting = 1
    gtk-xft-hintstyle = "hintfull"
    gtk-xft-rgba = "rgb"
    I have tried many combinations of AA and hinting, and nothing seems to work. Fonts do look slightly differently when I change the hinting settings (except in Calc), but they do not look as crisp as before the upgrade. Can anyone help me?

    It figures that I fix this right after giving up and posting to the forums. It seems that either (1) Xresources overrides gtk settings or (2) Libreoffice ignores gtk settings. I had not had any ~/.Xresources file, but after creating one:
    Xft.dpi: 96
    Xft.antialias: true
    Xft.rgba: rgb
    Xft.hinting: true
    Xft.hintstyle: hintslight
    and adding
    xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
    to ~/.xinitrc,, the font rendering has returned to normal across all applications, The strange thing is that I didn't have an Xresources config file before when the rendering was working fine. It's also weird that fonts in GTK apps looks crisper with Xresources configured than they do with the same configuration in ~/.gtkrc-2.0. I can't figure out why, but at least it's now working.

  • [solved] After a full-system upgrade (Linux 3.15.8) = Wifi undetected

    Hi, following this post, I'm seeking help concerning a big problem with my wifi.
    In fact, it has been a few months since my wifi interface isn't recognized anymore. Yesterday, after a few tests, I found it was due to the kernel version, so I tried to reinstall my first ArchLinux (Linux 3.13.5-1-ARCH) : it worked, my wifi was back. The problem was that I couldn't reinstall all my stuffs : so I did a full-system upgrade (knowing I will lose my wifi) and now I just want to fix it once and for all (I'm done dealing with it).
    So now, your help would be very appreciated. Does anyone have an idead? Or need more details about my config, my laptop, or whatever?

  • Unresponsive input devices after full system update

    This problem's been going on for a couple of months now. Essentially what happens is that when I perform a normal system update using
    sudo pacman -Syu
    and reboot the computer, it will go through the normal booting process (Everything marked as OK), but when the display manager starts, the resolution is significantly lower (probably 800x600 rather than 1366x768). Another symptom is that the neither the keyboard nor the mouse register any input on the screen. (Pressing the 'lock' keys don't trigger the LED on the keyboard, and the mouse doesn't move on the screen).
    The only way I've been able to remedy this situation is that everytime I perform a system update, I have to load up the Arch boot CD, and pacstrap the root installing.
    I"m not entirely sure which information one would need to diagnose this problem, but I'll include the output from the system update, and the pactrap update;

    That was the most recent occurrence, but like I said, it's been occurring for months. I figure it's probably some crazy setting I have in my system. I'll post my mkinitcpio.conf just as a preemptive measure.
    # vim:set ft=sh
    # MODULES
    # The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
    # run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
    # in this array. For instance:
    # MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
    MODULES=""
    # BINARIES
    # This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
    # wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
    # override the actual binaries included by a given hook
    # BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
    BINARIES=""
    # FILES
    # This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
    # as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
    FILES=""
    # HOOKS
    # This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
    # modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
    # Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
    # order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
    # help on a given hook.
    # 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
    # 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
    # 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
    # Examples:
    ## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
    ## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
    # HOOKS="base"
    ## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
    ## work as a sane default
    # HOOKS="base udev autodetect block filesystems"
    ## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
    ## No autodetection is done.
    # HOOKS="base udev block filesystems"
    ## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
    ## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
    # HOOKS="base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems"
    ## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
    # HOOKS="base udev block lvm2 filesystems"
    ## NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
    # usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
    HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block lvm2 filesystems keyboard fsck"
    # COMPRESSION
    # Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
    # is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
    #COMPRESSION="gzip"
    #COMPRESSION="bzip2"
    #COMPRESSION="lzma"
    #COMPRESSION="xz"
    #COMPRESSION="lzop"
    # COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
    # Additional options for the compressor
    #COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=""

    Can we take a peek at your /etc/fstab ?
    I think you've the problem I had suspected was going on in that other thread.  I think your boot partition is not mounted on /boot at the time you do the upgrade.  This will cause the new modules to be installed in the libraries.  The new kernel and initrd will be built, and installed to the /boot mount point.  Unfortunately, if the boot partition is not mounted, the files don't replace the old ones and the boot loader uses the stale files the next time you boot.  The old kernel cannot find its modules, because the only ones available belong to the new kernel (you know, the one that was written to what /boot)
    If you can use the keyboard after an upgrade, log in and compare the output of uname -a and of pacman -Qi linux.  The versions had better match.
    Yes, it seems as if you were right. I must have missed that in the thread you posted. My /etc/fstab does not have the boot partition in it, just the root and home (I'm using lvm for both of them)
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information
    # <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

    All I wanted was to have the simplest use of the Nvidia proprietary driver.  So I followed https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … any_kernel
    So what I gather from the discussion here is that this (nvidia-dkms) should only be used for custom kernels?  And the topic should be a sub topic of https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … tom_kernel?  Is that right?
    Thanks for you help.

  • [SOLVED] Starting Full System Upgrade... There Is Nothing To Do

    "Starting Full System Upgrade... There Is Nothing To Do" is the only message I have ever seen when using pacman -Syu.  I have no problem installing files but pacman cannot seem to EVER find updates to anything.  Even when I know that a package has been updated in the repositories, pacman never acknowledges it.  Some examples of applications are:
    Python2 - Installed - 2.6.5-3, Available - 2.7.1-4
    Geany - Installed 0.19-1, Available - 0.20-1
    Pacman - Installed 3.4.0-2, Available - 3.4.2-1
    Even if I try to specify the repository, for Geany for instance, "pacman -S community/geany", it still sees it as up-to-date.
    It's quite possible that I'm going about something the wrong way but I don't ever recall the system actually finding updates (since June).  My pacman.conf looks as follows:
    MOD EDIT -- Please use code tags to display any output and of files -- Inxsible
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Also try to read the wiki about pacman and mirrorlist. Simply uncommenting multiple mirrors does not give you the ability to get packages from all of them. pacman will connect to each one in order. If it can connect to the first one and see that pacman is available it does not connect to the next mirror to see if some other mirror has an updated version of not.
    It connects to the next mirror if and only if a certain package is not available on the first mirror or the mirror itself is down.

  • Blur fonts after a system upgrade

    Hello all
    I've done a pacman -syu, and it did an upgrade to the kernel (2.6.23-ARCH) and i'm not sure if it  upgraded x-server too.
    The question is, now my fonts (my X-server) are all blury, like without anti-alias, it's very hard to see the letters, and the resolution is all wrong. I've checked the fonts dirs, and configuration, everything is ok, i haven't done anything but the upgrade, so i don't know what could be wrong. Anyone had the same problem or knows the fix for this?
    I'm putting here 2 screenshots (1 of my desktop, the other of this post)  i hope you can see my problem

  • Starting full system upgrade... there is nothing to do

    Just finished my Install of Arch and I can't seem to update anything it just gives me "Starting full system upgrade...
    there is nothing to do"
    I tried pacman -Syy and it syncs my repos and I've checked and I do have packages that are out of date so they should upodate. My mirrors are also not out of date, I just checked them

    Please paste the pull output pacman -S openbox. I think you'll find something along the lines of:
    warning: openbox-3.5.0-7 is up to date -- reinstalling
    The following will tell you which version you have installed
    $ pacman -Q openbox
    The current version is 3.5.0-7, which you can see here: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … 4/openbox/

  • Dependancy trouble when performing full system upgrade

    Below is the output from pacman:

    :: Replace synaptics with extra/xf86-input-synaptics? [Y/n] y

    warning: removing 'libgl' from target list because it conflicts with 'catalyst-utils'
    error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
    :: xf86-video-ati: requires libgl>=7.2
    Checked the news and theads on here and not seen anyone with simular problems so I'm really not quite sure how to tackle this one...

    sorry, i should have added a bit more detail about my setup:
    it's an ASUS X51RL-series laptop. It has an ATI radeon xpress 1100 GFX chip.
    I'm running KDE4 + compiz-fusion
    I'm guessing the problem is related to the xorg upgrade? Beyond that I'm not sure how best to address the dependances.

  • [SOLVED] GNOME login screen freezes after 3 seconds

    Hello,
    today I installed Arch-Linux the first time. I had some issues during the installation (following https://wiki.archlinux.de/title/Anleitu … Einsteiger (its the german version, seems to differ a little from the english version)), but everything went good until I installed GNOME. Now the login screen freezes everytime after quite exactly 3 seconds, unless I press [strg]+[alt]+[f2] fast enough to switch in tty2. Then the screen will only freeze when I switch back to tty1. Once the screen is frozen, I can't switch to tty2 anymore.
    I think the problem has something to do with my nvidia hybrid graphic system. During the installation I installed the packages bumblebee, bbswitch and primus, but uninstalled them because I thought they could be the problem. But although I uninstalled the packages, the "Stamina-Mode" status led is turned on after the system has started and the "Speed-Mode" status led not. I think that's a little bit strange, because I can't imagine which process is controlling these leds.
    So I ran just
    pacman -S xorg-drivers
    and I had to create the xinitrc-file (because I could not find this file in /etc/skel). Now the default GUI appeared after I ran
    startx
    (I saw some windows and a clock). After that I installed gnome, changed the xinitrc-file in my userhome and got the freeze after a reboot.
    I don't know if it has anything to do with my problem, but I get the following error-messages everytime I boot:
    [drm:ibx_irq_handler] *ERROR* PCH transcoder A FIFO underrun
    [drm:intel_dp_start_link_train] *ERROR* too many full retries, give up
    [drm:ilk_display_irq_handler] *ERROR* Pipe A FIFO underrun
    interl ips 0000:00:1f.6: thermal reporting for required devices not enabled, aborting
    Hoeman
    P.S.: Because I'm a total beginner at linux I probably missed the most important informations, but I can give you more if you tell me how

    Ok, I could solve the problem myself by installing the latest nvidia driver. Now I guess the intel grahic card is not used anymore, but I don't really know...

  • After full system update ppp does not work anymore

    Well, I have this problem:
    1) I install Arch Linux from the latest Core
    2) I manually install the latest versions of wvdial and its dependences (xplc and wvstreams). This is an offline installation (because I can't set up internet without wvdial. So I save these packages on USB drive, and there I lanch pacman -U *.pkg.tar.gz)
    3) I set up my GPRS internet connection (I use a mobile phone)
    Everything works well (i.e.: I can ping google without problem).
    Problems arise if I decide to update my system. In this case, indeed, after updating and rebooting, my connection doesn't work no more. Everything works fine until I update. After update, I can say hello to my ppp.
    Then, I add some some details.
    These are the last lines of messages.log after a successful connection (i.e.: before the full update of my system)
    pl2303 4-2:1.0: pl2303 converter detected

    The last lines of messages.log after the update are:

    usb 4.2: pl2303 now attached to ttyUSB0
    usbcore: registered new interface driver pl2303

    PPP generic driver version 2.4.2
    NET: registered protocol family 10
    lo: disabled privacy extensions
    pppd 2.4.5 started by root, uid 0
    As you can see, it's seems there are problems in "using ppp0 interface". Indeed, pppd starts, but ppp0 interface not. I can also add that ifconfig ppp0 up and similar commands do not work (ppp0: no such device, or something like that).
    So, what can I do?

    I don't use ppp so this is just a guess.  However, after a recent upgrade I saw a message from pacman:
    [2010-02-14 09:07] >>> The kernel-mode plugin has a new place.
    [2010-02-14 09:07] >>> It's now located under /usr/lib/rp-pppoe/rp-pppoe.so
    [2010-02-14 09:07] >>> Change LINUX_PLUGIN to the new path in your /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf
    [2010-02-14 09:07] upgraded rp-pppoe (3.10-2 -> 3.10-4)
    Could this be the problem?
