[SOLVED] MPD does not start

I installed MPD, made configurations, but as I try to start it nothing happens.
Here is the output:

Any help please?

I guess they are called "clients," but yeah you need one in order to interface with mpd. I had a lot of problems initially figuring out mpd myself so I totally understand when others also run into problems....
Don't forget to mark the thread as "solved."

[Solved]Laptop does not start (not even bios)

Hi all,
I was about to install archlinux on my laptop. When I generate partitions (I used GPT), I saw something like this:
"If you have a BIOS motherboard (or plan on booting in BIOS compatibility mode) and you want to setup GRUB on a GPT-partitioned drive, you will need to create an extra BIOS Boot Partition of size 1 or 2 MiB and EF02 type code. Syslinux does not need one."
So, I was planning to make this. When I run cgdisk, I was that lthere was a 1007kb unusued(?) space. So I thought I can use this space for boot sector. Then I changed its type to EF02. When I did this, my laptop shutted down quickly and does not start again. When I press the power up button; I hear the usual starting noise, and then it shuts down again.
What did I do to my laptop?
What I tried:
Remove battery, wait for 5 minutes, try again
Remove hdd, try again
Unplug&plug bios battery, try again
Edit: Solved with a shame. Wall-charger was unplugged. This topic can be removed.

[SOLVED] CUPS does not start

I don't know if this issue is a bug or if I'am doing something terribly wrong.
I've installed ArchLinux without GUI, just base, as a pure printserver a few weeks ago with only cups running and it worked.
But when I try to do exactly the same installation again on same PC (tried IPFire meanwhile) it is a mess!
First CUPS suddenly needs avahi to be running (enabled).
Without it, I get a 'core-dump' error:
systemd-coredump[###]: Process 255 (cupsd) dumped core.
systemd[1]: cups.service: main process exited, code=dumped, status=6/ABRT
Next cups does not start, does not offer shared printers and is not accessible through web interface until I start it manually.
Than everything works as supposed.
On reboot: same procedure!
Of course I edited 'cupsd.conf' on the server, added
Listen *:631
and
Allow from 192.168.XXX.XXX/24
to all <Loaction> entries.
Though I enabled cups (which in fact only enables the cups.socket) I do not get it to work.
So it seems to be a problem with this non reacting cups.socket, perhaps?
BTW: sshd.socket works.
There are no errors which I could post.
I've also reinstalled serveral times...
PS:
Menawhile I found a workaround:
# systemctl disable cups
# sudo ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/cups.service' '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/cups.service'
but I still wonder, why the intitial configuration which worked till a few days suddenly stopped working...

Using the .socket will activate cups on access. Which is much better than keeping it running all the time. Unless you want it running all the time.. Up to you.
I'm curious what your cups.service acutally looks like.. since you shouldn't be having to make a symlink manually.. That's what systemctl enable is for, as you probably know. And why not paste the socket too while you're at it.. Mine are at the bottom of this reply. I also added the cups.path so you can compare and see if anything went wrong there.. Mine works great on 3.7.9-1 kernel.
I'm not sure why you're linking cups.service to multi-user.target.wants/ but it should be WantedBy=printer.target.. Have a look below.
* enabling cups.service should create symlinks for the service unit and the path
* enabling cups.socket should only create the symlink for the socket.

I have reproduced the problem:
1)Move (or remove) ~/.mozilla
2)goto this website : http://toolbar.zynga.com/install/farmville/
3)login with a valid facebook acount
4)Click install, and then click allow, install now, restart namoraka, restart, finish, and then click save and quit.
Now firefox does not start anymore.
Is it usefull when I make a tar file of .mozilla and post it here?

[solved] LXDE does not start

I have installed lxde accoriding to the wiki (I was using xfce, which starts fine using the follwing configuration files, without the lines, marked by #new) and I have adopted the configuration files, but lxde does not start. I'm not using a login manager, x starts automatically.

So, when you login, startx is not executed? Or does X start and immediately exit/crash? Do other parts of .bash_profile get executed, i.e., if you echo $DESKTOP_SESSION, does it say LXDE, do you see the results of .bash_rc (prompt, aliases)? Then check if XDG_VTNR is set, and DISPLAY.
(After your edit:) If you only changed the exec line, then I assume X still starts, but startlxde fails? So X immediately exits or something? Do you get any useful messages in the logs?

I got this interface name from ip addr, how it should be named if 'enp4s1' is wrong?
journalctl is here: http://bpaste.net/show/104083/
I found only one string realted to this device name:

Is there some other logs where it can be checked?

[SOLVED]mpd does not detect the music directory

I recently installed mpd with the gmpc gui, set my "music_directory" in /etc/mpd.conf to the location of all of my music (which contains lots of other folders and subfolders), but there's no listing of the audio files in the database in gmpc.
Here's the /etc/mpd.conf if that helps:
# An example configuration file for MPD
# See the mpd.conf man page for a more detailed description of each parameter.

# file:// protocol) or streaming files over an accepted protocol.
music_directory "/var/lib/mpd/music"
# This setting sets the MPD internal playlist directory. The purpose of this
# directory is storage for playlists created by MPD. The server will use
# playlist files not created by the server but only if they are in the MPD

playlist_directory "/var/lib/mpd/playlists"
# This setting sets the location of the MPD database. This file is used to

Is this normal?
*sigh* i answer this for the 3rd time in a row... this is no error it just says that binding to your ipv6 interface happened before the binding to ipv4.
If you want to use your ipv4 interface hardcode it in mpd.conf
bind_to_address "127.0.0.1"
you can also have several binds:
bind_to_address "127.0.0.1"
bind_to_address "192.168.1.13"
to make it listen on localhost and the external IP of your network card.
If your music is on the same machine as your mpd i recommend to use a unix socket in addition.
bind_to_address "/path/to/some/file/that/does/not/exist/yet"
and make your client connect to that file instead of the IP. Speeds things up a log e.g. in ncmpcpp
and btw: you can save your mpd.conf file as ~/.mpdconf and mpd will automatically use it.

[SOLVED] Arch does not start into gnome desktop

I installed arch from the scratch into a new hard drive due to a disk failure in the old one. After installing it, I booted into gnome3 desktop without problems.
Today I have upgraded it by performing:
#pacman -Syu
and also I have installed some other no important packages mplayer, banshee, etc... also I have seen that my kernel has been upgraded into 3.11.4-1-ARCH fro 3.10.10-1-ARCH.
After rebooting, my arch does not boot, even in fallback mode. It starts cleaning blocks from the partitions, and then after it is done, cursor is blinking and no other messages are printed out. It stays with cursor blinking forever. I have a GUID Partition table and a LVM2 where all paritions are made.
I can log in into console by pressing CTRL+ALT+F2. Once I have prompted I have no network interfaces, only lo (loopback). If I do:
#ip link show
#ip addr list
I only get lo (loopback) interface listed, others like wifi and ethernet cable does not appear.
If I perform below:
#journalctl -xn
I do not see any problematic message, only this one:
Failed to open private bus connection
Any ideas why arch is not booting and get into gnome session (login window)?
UPDATED:
The problem is that once I have performed the full system update with:
#pacman -Syu
My kernel images has been upgraded and successfully generated into 3.11.4-1-ARCH but I have seen that my kernel, after log in to console and performing:
$uname -r
it says kernel version continues being 3.10.10-1-ARCH so at startup images genereated into 3.11.4-1-ARCH do not match so cursor remains blinking forever....
I am trying to update the kernel but now I have no internet connection, no network interfaces are shown.... so how to do this now? chrooting?

You are right, see my updated post, for some reason image were successfully generated into 3.11.4-1-ARCH but kernel has not been updated and it remains in 3.10.10-1-ARCH.... so they do not match and arch does not boot.... so cursor remains blinking forever....

[SOLVED] Rhythmbox does not start

I have rhythmbox 2.90.1.git20110528-1 and when I try to start it I get this error:
rhythmbox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libwebkitgtk-3.0.so.0: undefined symbol: UCNV_FROM_U_CALLBACK_ESCAPE_46
I tried unistalling / reinstalling it but it does not work.
do you have any ideas?
thanks,

No problem, glad to hear you've got it working. I noticed the rhythmbox package does depend on libwebkit3. I'm just pointing this out to show there isn't a bug in the rhythmbox package, it must have been in dependency checking when you install rhythmbox.
My next guess would be that you had rhythmbox installed and working, then another package removed/replaced libwebkit3 which broke rhythmbox.
All in all, glad it's working for you!

[SOLVED] samba does not start properly

I have three machines ( desktop, laptop, and a mini-itx "homeserver" ), and I use samba shares on all the three machines.
The homeserver is headless, does not have a DE, and launches samba properly any time.
On the other machines, the samba service launches ( I can see it on the screen as arch starts ) but does not really start.
I found that smbd is always running, but nmbd never starts when arch starts up.
When the startup is complete, I type "/etc/rc.d/samba restart", and it launches the samba service properly, on both machines.
The smb.conf file is identic on all the machines, except for the server string and the specific machine's share location/name
What can be wrong? Why does nmbd not start on both machines? (Or why does it on the third?)

Samba is in my daemons array in rc.conf. I've already tried to start it in backround too ( @ ). Did not work.
I've already tried the /etc/rc.local thing, but not with a sleep before the service start command.
Will try it.
Currently I'm using my laptop ( Wicd, not networkmanager , and the first post (skrooge) did not work.
I'll try it this evening with nm.

Ok - I've reinstalled the package and now it works like a charm - Maybe it was an upgrade error.
Sorry for the inconvenience you may have been caused.

[SOLVED] MPD is not starting with .xinitrc

Hi!
This is my first post on this forum, so hello everyone!
Let me explain you what my problem is:
I just can't get MPD to start with. xinitrc or systemd. When I launch it from terminal it works like a charm, but when it should start with X (I am using Slim), it just doesn't.
Here is my .xinitrc:
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
#mpd
mpd --no-daemon &
#fonts
xset +fp ~/.fonts
xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/local
xset fp rehash
#wallpaper
$HOME/.fehbg
#conky
conky &
#statusbar
$HOME/dwm-statusbar &
#dwm
exec dwm
# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
I hope somebody can help me.

Systemd has a great journal that can be accessed with journalctl.
Have you looked over the mpd wiki page? I actually start mpd with the service file it includes. If you want to start it as your user, copy it to the appropriate place in /etc rename it [email protected] and put a "User=%i" (I think that is the right variable...not at my computer ATM) in the [Service] section.
The great thing about systemd is that it is super easy to configure service files... so if you want to start mpd this way you.may want to try that.
The other option with a service file is to use the new feature insystemd 198 that allows an appropriately named directory to hold all kinds of configuration changes to a given unit. Again, I am not at my computer, so you are going to have to use the man pages for this (which you should be doing anyway). This feature is like a more advanced ".include" though. So you could just add a user line to the existing unit.

[SOLVED] Imapd does not start (only during boot process)

I'm running a courier-imap server.
A few days ago I noticed I did not receive any mails anymore. Then I found my imapd daemon was not running anymore.
I then stopped the daemon process together with the xinetd daemon (which lets me connect to my imap server via my local network).
I restart from a terminal both daemons (imapd an xinetd) and ... everything is up and running ! Note that I have to stop xinetd too because only stopping imapd and restarting doesn't help.
I reboot my PC ... again no imapd anymore. During the boot process I do not get any error message though ...
I'm completely puzzled
The problem started when I upgraded to the linux 3.0.1 kernel ...
Last edited by Strider (2011-08-14 07:59:41)

I managed to get the problem solved by removing and re-installing the courier-imap package. Don't know why that solved it though ...

[SOLVED] adesklets does not start

Hello everyone,
I'm using Arch x86_64 and Gnome. I'm trying to use adesklets, but it just doesn't start. I installed adesklets using pacman and I start it using adesklets --nautilus, but absolutely nothing happens. I have no clue of what's happening. I also use xcompmgr as composite manager.
Does anyone know how do I get it to work?
Last edited by kdjtar (2009-07-14 15:58:45)

Yes I'm still stuck with this question mark in my head...
And yes, I used adesklets -i to install some and then I tried either adesklets --nautilus and adesklets --user to launch adesklets. But nothing happens, I have read of some fake root window detection, but I can't figure out what am I supposed to do for the desklets to appear.
This problem also happens with conky somehow. When I set conky to start automatically with Gnome, it always stays behind this thingie. I can only see conky if I start it manually, so it starts in front of the fake root window.
Hmm, I have just made a test running python some-desklet.py --nautilus:
[kdjtar@work ~]$ python /home/kdjtar/.desklets/aanalogue-0.1.0/aanalogue-0.1.0.py --nautilus
Do you want to (r)egister this desklet or to (t)est it? t
Now testing...
============================================================
If you do not see anything (or just an initial flicker
in the top left corner of your screen), try `--help',
and see the FAQ: `info adesklets'.
============================================================
before config
image loaded
hourHand.png and 40
after config
end of ready()
I could see the desklet... but I still can't see it if I run adesklets --nautilus.

[SOLVED] samba does not start properly again -this time with systemd

Definitely no luck with this one...
So, today I've switched to a pure systemd init system, and noticed that I have this old issue again.
(Link to my old thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=142704)
Samba doesn't start properly again, more precisely smbd is launched but not nmbd, so samba is not working as it should (for example smbtreee lists nothing).
Last time I've solved it by putting samba long before networkmanager in the daemons array, but with systemd I'm a bit confused...
Anyone has this issue?

Oh, this started happening after putting a MUCH faster cpu and motherboard in the system, so maybe there's a race-condition there?
