[ SOLVED ] Pacman stopped working after last pacman -S pacman

Hi.
Today I tried to install a new package, and pacman prompted that there is new version of it, and I have to install it first. I accepted and installed the new version of pacman. They I updated the package list. After a while I had to reboot the machine, because my X crashed, and now pacman command is not doing anything. What can I do.

[Solved] ALSA stopped working after last update.

I'm using pekwm and a 32bit install at the moment. Volwheel will not allow me to adjust the volume. I can't run alsamixer even though it's installed. My username is a member of the audio group... And when I run alsaconf it will not recognize my sound card (HDA Intel).

Screen sharing stopped working after last update

Hello all,
I have run software update yesterday, and there were about 10 downloads (I run this weekely, so these must have been new ones). The thing is that after installing all the updates, one of the features that I use more frequently, screen sharing, stopped working properly. I have a Mac Book Pro and an I Mac, both running on Snow Leopard, and screen sharing has always worked just fine, but not after the latest update.
I checked passwords and they are all right, and also checked sharing properties and all seems to be fine. I can share files all right, but for screen sharing now is only possible by setting the option "anyone may request permission to control screen" (under sharing>screen sharing>computer settings) to on, and ask for authorization each time I need to share screens, not good, mainly if you have the computers in different rooms.
Finally, I own an Me account, so I tried sharing screen via Back to my Mac, but it didn't work either.
Can anyone help?
Thanks a lot,
Luis

Problem solved!
After working with Apple, I have an answer. It looks like the 10.10.2 update changed your firewall settings. Try this:
System Preferences>Security and Privacy>Firewall Options
Scroll down the list till you find "screensharingd". If it's marked as block in coming connections, change it to allow incoming connections.
Be sure to reboot your computer and you should be good to go!

My Logitech K750 numeric keypad stopped working after last update-numbers only

After the last Mountain Lion update, the number on my numeric keypad will not function. They work for my login, but then become inactive. I have tested the system with an Apple keypad, same thing! What happened? Is there a keyboard setting that needs to be reset?

Dianefromblaine,
Thank you. My K750 number pad stopped working on my iMac. The keyboard and number pad 'do' work on a different Mac, so I suspect it is some setting on the iMac. I did a Safe Mode start, reset the SMC, and repaired the disk permissions. The dongle was plugged into an USB Hub. It is now plugged into the iMac USB port. The keyboard has a 90% charge, but still does not work. Then suddenly it started working again, but stopped after about one month.
I found your "Accessibility>Mouse and Trackpad" suggestion and deselected "Enable Mouse Keys". My number pad works again.
Thanks.

[SOLVED] USB stop work after suspend (only right ports!!!)

Hi,
It drives me crazy!
I recently installed Arch on my new laptop SAMSUNG NP900X4C that have 3 USB ports, one in the left side and two in the right side . When I boot the system (or reboot) all USB ports works fine, but after system suspend like close lid, only the left port go back work. dmesg shows nothing when I plug a pendrive in the any right USB ports, even less lsblk.
This is my dmesg out when I connect the pendrive in all ports after boot:

Nothing appears about the USB ports 2-2 and 2-1. Any ideia?!
I even tried to install laptop-mode-tools and set CONTROL_USB_AUTOSUSPEND=0 but didn't work

Oh crap! I am kid with his new toy...
After a lot of google it I read something about firmware control the wake up of USB 3.0 and when I entered in this laptop BIOS what I found?! This option disabled:
USB S3 Wake-up [Disable]
So, just enable it and all my USB ports go back to work after suspend. I don't understand the purpose of it disabled by default.
Anyway I am sorry for this newbie mistake.

[SOLVED] Amarok stopped working (after downgrading from kde4)

Hey,
I played around a bit with kde4 (from tardo's repositories), then uninstalled it.
And now - amarok stopped working entirely.
When I type "amarok" in the terminal, I get:
amarok: error while loading shared libraries: libkdecore.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
So I tried setting it up manually in "/opt/kde/lib", and typed:
ln -s libkdecore.so.4.2.0 libkdecore.so.5"
Still no luck. Now the file exists:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2008-01-22 21:35 libkdecore.so.5 -> libkdecore.so.4.2.0
but I keep getting the same error message.
Any thoughts?
thanks a lot,
fiod
Last edited by fiod (2008-01-25 18:30:04)

I'd say it would be a bad idea to be symbolic link things like that, but it might work since I have libkdecore.so.4 linked to the same thing.
What version of amarok do you have? I have 1.4.8-2 which is the newest in the extra repositories. If you have something else it might have gotten pulled in from testing or a kde4 repository. Maybe try reinstalling amarok-base

[SOLVED] Keyboard stopped working after upgrade

When Arch boots into the login window, keyboard has stopped working (it works in the boot screen, tested with Caps Lock). The mouse is working. I have installed Arch to a laptop and configured Arch to use EFISTUB to boot. I have already confirmed that the kernels and initramfs' in theESP (Arch's kernel, initramfs and fallback are in /boot/efi/EFI/arch. ESP in mounted as /boot/efi) and in the /boot are the same.
I don't see any FAILED messages during the boot screen.

This was caused by a simple reason: keyboard file "en" was missing in the xkbcomp directory. That's od because I haven't touched keyboard settings at all. I changed the keyboard setting in X11 confiure file to "us" as test and now it works.

Command line option "-save-to-folder" stopped working after last update: Any workaround?

Running FF on Linux, I was using the -save-to-folder option at CLI to write a copy of the webpage to file with JS content rendered. Worked great until the recent update (to v.27.0.1).
Typical format was: firefox url -save-to-folder filename
When things break, the fixes sometimes happen quickly, sometimes not. In the meantime, anyone have a workaround?

It will depend if your Linux build was compiled by a third party. Typically if a function like that stops working, uninstalling might be a good option, but maybe not in this case.
The full list are [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options] is this one custom perhaps?
There is an add on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/save-file-to/ Save file to] that adds a dialogue, but you may want to stick to linux. There is a customize shortcuts [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/customizable-shortcuts/ add on]

[SOLVED] Ethernet stops working after a while

When I work on this computer, the ethernet stops after a while, sometimes this is after 2 minutes, sometimes after half an hour. When I do
sudo /etc/rc.d/network restart
everything works again for a while. The internet doesn't work in chromium nor pacman so it isn't just one application.
Anyone knows how I can find the cause of this?
Thanks already!

Also, tell us about your network. Are you plugged into a corporate or school network? your own private router? into a DSL or Cable modem?
When it stops, what is the output of ip link ??
of ip addr ??
of ip route ??
What is the make, model and chipset of your NIC?

[SOLVED] Keyboard stopped working after update

Greetings,
after my most recent update (I now update infrequently, so I had quite a bunch of packets to update) I experienced my keyboard refraining from working in any way under my desktop environment (KDEmod legacy) - switching to console, the keyboard works again.
I did a few downgrades (info from /var/log/pacman.log) and it now works again.
[2009-02-18 13:47] upgraded xkeyboard-config (1.5-1 -> 1.4-2)
[2009-02-18 13:47] upgraded xf86-input-keyboard (1.3.2-1 -> 1.3.1-1)
[2009-02-18 13:48] upgraded xcb-util (0.3.3-1 -> 0.3.2-1)
Are there any known problems occuring concerning these packets? They seem to change the way, XOrg is accessing the keyboard, which is obviously not working.
Thanks for any advice on this matter!
Regards,
cg
// EDIT
Solution: xorg-server was amongst the IgnorePkg list as in pacman.conf - updating xorg-server together with xf86-input-keyboard, input devices work like charms again.

Thank you for your contribution. I tried my best to configure my input devices conform to the new XOrg hotplugging, but I have to say that the problem persisted.
Step 0:
Updating all packages (again). Conclusion: Not working.
Step 1:
Copying the keyboard configurations from /usr/share to /etc for persistent use by HAL. Conclusion: Not working.
Step 2:
Commenting out the lines referring to the static declaration of input devices within /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Conclusion: Not working.
Step 3:
Adding the command to disable the hotplugging (Option "AutoAddDevices" "False") on bottom of my xorg.conf. Conclusion: Not working.
Step 4:
Downgrading: xf86-input-keyboard (1.3.2-1 -> 1.3.1-1) Conclusion: Working again.
Guessing by the fact that more than one person posted in this thread, this problem seems not to be limited to my specific configuration (which is rather basic, a basic keyboard and a basic mouse, both using USB). For now, the 'solution' is adding xf86-input-keyboard to the IgnorePkg list of pacman.conf - or is there any known workaround?
I would be glad to be informed about wrongs in the steps I have taken.
Thanks for your information in advance,
regards,
cg
// EDIT
Problem resolved. The solution was stunningly obvious - after having run into problems with the upgrade lately, xorg-server was on the IgnorePkg list as well and defaulted to 1.4.2.2, which would not work well together with the input hotplugging. After having solved the problem with XOrg and updating all the packages again, I can happily use my keyboard again. Sorry for all the hassle!

[solved] Network stopped working after update

Hi,
I have been working on this problem for some time now with no success. I searched the forums and found threads like this, which did not seem to work for me. I hope it is (as always) just a stupid mistake I made.
After a bigger update (not using the machine for half a year) I cannot get my network back to work. I am talking about wired network, though wireless network has a similar problem. I verified the hardware via a Windows dualboot.
I think this problem is DHCP related:

I usually run NetworkManager and dhcpcd, but also tried wicd and dhclient which did not help either.
I have no idea which outputs can be helpful in this matter, so I will provide them on demand. Thanks in advance.

I just want to add that connecting with a static IP works flawlessly. I am trying to connect to a Fritz Box 7270, if that helps. I have the same problem on another machine. The problem occured with the update from dhcpcd 5.6.4-2 to 6.0.5-1, I guess, but I cannot be absolutely sure.
I already tried commenting out the "require dhcp server_identifier" option of dhcpcd, which did noch change anything. I am really lost here, so any hint would help.

Kdm stopped working after last kdebase-workspace update

The problem is that when I try to log in via kdm screen gets black and I'm returned to kdm.
It's caused by ConsoleKit (anyway, why should I have to use HAL and ConsoleKit?!), because after rebuilding kdebase-workspace without consolekit it works agian. Anyway, should I add this as a bug report?
Xorg.0.log seems fine, but the end is little bit different than usually.
Normal Xorg.0.log:
(**) Keyboard0: CustomKeycodes disabled
(II) evaluating device (Mouse0)
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse0" (type: MOUSE)

Xorg.0.log after upgrade:
(**) Keyboard0: CustomKeycodes disabled
(II) evaluating device (Mouse0)
(II) evaluating device (Keyboard0)
(II) Mouse0: Setting mouse protocol to "ExplorerPS/2"

As Jan de Groot (JGC) comments on http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12702
the permissions and groups for /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper should show up like this:
-rwsr-x--- 1 root dbus 46056 2008-11-28 20:35 /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper
I changed mine and now kdm works fine:
# chown root:dbus /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper
# chmod u+s /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper
