[solved] Plymouth fails with GDM

I am using plymouth-legacy from the AUR. 
When I boot, the plymouth password prompt for my encrypted root partition comes up and I can enter the password.  The next screen is the boot splash screen with the "spinfinity" spinning wheel.  The screen flickers a few times but never goes away.  Pressing escape shows the console that states the plymouth-quit-wait service failed.  I can get to tty2 by pressing [Alt][F2] and login there.  I think the plymouth-quit-wait service is actually working fine, but the problem is either gdm is failing or plymouth-quit is not running and plymouth-quit-wait times out waiting for something to happen.  I am not really sure what the problem could be because it looks like (from the log below) that gdm has a problem with my graphics card, but it has no problem if plymouth isn't running.

Things I have tried:
Switch to tty2, log in and restart services as below in that order.  This brings up gdm, and I can log in without any issue.
sudo systemctl start plymouth-quit
sudo systemctl restart plymouth-quit-wait
sudo systemctl restart gdm-plymouth
Use SLIM as a display manager.  This works for some reason, but I don't want to use slim.  (Off topic, but I use more than one desktop manager and slim doesn't do a great job with remembering my last session.)
Don't use a display manager.  Plymouth boots fine to a console.  There are no errors.  I can then start gdm with no problem.
sudo systemctl start gdm
Using lightdm has the same result as gdm.
Using the gdm.service instead of gdm-plymouth.service has the same result.
I tried this thread.  I don't have an nvidia card and the modified gdm-plymouth service didn't change anything.
I also followed this thread on the fedora forums, which advised moving /var/journal to /var/journal.org.  That seems pretty bizarre but I tried it anyways.  No effect for me.

Doesn't matter if you don't use it, the package includes parts for GDM.  Some testing for KDM or other login managers would be a good thing to do too.
I am aware of that. I don't have other  login mangers installed but something changed between the two updates. As I said, I'll look into it. I know SLiM and LightDM work with this build. Let you know something soon.

  • [SOLVED] Boot fails with "ata4: SRST failed (errno = -16)"

    I have desktop that has four disks. They have similar three partitions sitting on RAID.
    /boot and swap are on RAID1
    / is on RAID5.
    This worked well until a couple of weeks ago I noticed I couldn't connect to it via SSH. I went onsite and the desktop was humming but I couldn't get picture on the screen and alt + sysrq + REISUB did nothing. I shut it down by pressing power button and started it again. It gave me following errors:
    ata4: SRST failed (errno = -16)
    After a while there was
    reset failed, give up
    I restarted the machine and went to BIOS. There was only two of four disks visible. I shut the computer down, removed the power cord and then plugged it back in. This time BIOS showed all the disks there. I tried to boot up Arch and got the following.
    Booting the kernel.

    mount: you must specify the filesystem type
    You are now being dropped into an emergency shell.
    sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
    After that I tried to chroot from USB installation disk. First I check the RAID devices and see that in md1 (/boot) all seems to be ok. In md2 (swap) half of the partitions are missing. I'm not sure how to interpret the last one.
    cat /proc/mdstat
    Personalities : [raid1]
    md1: active raid1 sdd1[3] sdb1[1] sda1[0] sdc1[2]

    md3: inactive sdb3[1](S) sda3[0](S) sdd3[4](S) sdc3[2](S)
    608169984 block super 1.2
    unused devices: <none>
    I remove those devices and try to recreate them. md1 says it starts with four drives. md2 starts with 2 driver out of 4. And then the last one.
    mdadm --assemble /dev/md3 /dev/sd[a-d]3
    mdadm: /dev/md3 assembled from 2 drives - not enough to start the array.
    Has anyone any idea where did the two partitions go? I ran SMART-tests to all four drives in long mode and all of them passed the tests.
    I use GPT partitioning table, UEFI and Syslinux if it matters.

  • [solved] netcfg fails with no apparent reason

    So, I'm trying to set up a very simple profile with netcfg:
    CONNECTION='ethernet'
    DESCRIPTION='ok'
    INTERFACE='eth0'
    IP='dhcp'
    Here's what happens when I try to bring it up:
    DEBUG: Loading profile eth0-dhcp
    DEBUG: Configuring interface eth0
    :: eth0-dhcp up
    DEBUG: status reported to profile_up as:
    DEBUG: Loading profile eth0-dhcp
    DEBUG: Configuring interface eth0
    DEBUG: ethernet_iproute_up ifup
    > No connection
    DEBUG: profile_up connect failed
    [FAIL]
    If I just do
    sudo ifconfig eth0 up
    sudo dhcpcd eth0
    , the network works fine.
    So, what might be the root of my problems with netcfg?
    Last edited by popoffka (2012-04-03 11:46:12)

    How long does it take for the interface to come up when you do it manually?
    Looking at what looks like the relevant lines of code (30-40) it could be a timeout issue, though not necessarily. You could manually try the commands issued in the scripts at that time.
    Just thinking aloud as, if it is a bug, then any info will be useful and netcfg is/has just getting a new maintainer, I think.

  • [SOLVED]Hibernation fails with "systemd hibernate"

    Hibernation does not work on my laptop. After issuing the "systemd hibernate" laptop goes black, but after 10 seconds it wakes up again, with my lid light still blinking.
    I'm receiving "cannot find swap device" and "cannot get swap writer" message
    # systemctl hibernate
    A dependency job for hibernate.target failed. See 'journalctl -xn' for details.
    Last edited by letian_north (2012-12-02 16:35:04)

    Ok, I set that thing up.
    First try running
    #swapon -s
    Filename Type Size Used Priority
    /dev/sda4 partition 2091004 103532 -1
    If you don't see any output, then you need to make/activate your swap partition. For that purpose use any partition tool like fdisk/cfdisk. Read more here
    Then you need to check if your mkinitcpio.conf, grub, fstab have the necessary lines for your swap image file to be read at boot.
    Add this line to /etc/fstab file, so that swap is mounted by the system:
    # /dev/sda4
    UUID=YOUR_DISK_UUID_NUMBER none swap defaults 0 0
    to find the uuid of your swap partition do blkid /dev/sdaX, X -- is the number of your swap partition.
    Go to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and add "resume" to HOOKS array like this:
    HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems usbinput fsck resume"
    Go to /etc/default/grub and add this line "resume=/dev/sdaX" like this:
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="resume=/dev/sda4"
    After that run the following commands to update your grub setup and rebuild the ramdisk image.
    # grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
    # mkinitcpio -p linux
    Go and try "systemctl hibernate", all should work now.

    You know what? You're right!
    I don't know how I exactly got that version... I got back to the AUR and downloaded the new one. The strange thing is, while that old version's tar.gz conained a lot of files like I'd expect from a source archive, the current version only contained the files .AURINFO and PKGBUILD. Guess that's the way it should be, I'm new to all of this so I was initially surprised. Obviously, running makepkg here worked like a charm and downloaded everything that was needed for it to install. Then, econnman installed just fine too. What I can't explain to myself is why 1.8.0's tar.gz contained all those files.
    In the end, I couldn't use nor connman cli nor econnman to connect to my Campus' WiFi but, after a lot of trouble, I got it to work with dhclient and wpa_supplicant like it's suggested. This hasn't been useless anyway, I saw how to install from the AUR for the first time.
    I'll mark the post as solved, but I got one last question: provided I don't need econnman anymore, do you suggest me to keep python-efl or to remove it? Is it needed for something else I'll certainly run into in the future?

    if you can't compile the webutil.pll in your forms developer you need to set the forms_builder_classpath in you windows registry. You have to add the frmwebutil.jar,jacob.jar to the registry key. The configuration files you mention are for running the forms.

  • CUCM 8.6.1 Refresh upgrade to 10.5 fails with Internal Error (Function: ipmReadNormalizedInputLine) [SOLVED]

    Hi,
    we are upgrading our CUCM 8.6.1 to 10.5.1 on VMWare Enviroment (vSphere 5.5 running on UCS). 
    We are running this upgrade in a sandbox, in order to avoid any problem in the production cluster.
    We followed the refresh upgrade guide ( http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/upgrade/10_0_1/CUCM_BK_U4214F9D_00_upgrade-guide-cucm-100.pdf)
    Pre-configuration steps
    Take a clone of the running publisher and put it in the sandbox
    Remove DNS servers (they are not available in the sandbox)
    Change the NTP Server with a ntp that is recheable from the sandbox
    Check that Gateway and NTP connectivity are OK for the CUCM
    Pre-upgrade:
    Run the cop files to update keys and increase disk space (log partition is 80% full)
    Shutdown the CUCM VM and
    Increase disk space on the VM configuration
    change VM OS from RedHat5 (32bit) to RedHat 6  (64bits)
    change VM nic from flexible to VMNIX3
    Restart the VM
    Upgrade
    1. mount the iso
    2. connect to OS Administration web interface and perform the Software installation from CD/DVD
    3. upgrade process works fine up to the post-installation task
    During post-installation tasks (after completing the DB Load and Transforming Copy) the Upgrade process always fails fails with an internal error
    IPM|Internal Error, File:ipm.c:2011, Function: ipmReadNormalizedInputLine(), "/usr/local/cm/script/cm-dbl-install RU PostInstall 10.5.1.10000-7 8.6.1.21019-1 /usr/local/cm/ /common/component/database /common/log/install/capture.txt " failed (1)|<LVL::Critical>
    IPM|  end-of-session "Installing database component": 1109.369 secs.|<LVL::Info>
    IPM|Close progress meter "Component Install"|<LVL::Info>
    We also tried the intermediate steps:
    - upgrade from 8.6.1 to 9.1 : worked
    - from 9.1 to 10.5: Failed with the same error
    - from 9.1 to 10.1: Failed with the same error
    any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks

    Issue was related to Dial Plans, the logs showed

  • [SOLVED] mongodb fails to start with exit status 4

    Today I tried starting mongodb via systemctl and it would fail with exit status 4.  The issue turned out to be related to an upgrade from mongodb 2.6 to 3.0.  It took me a bit of digging and trial and error to get it running again, so I thought I should share the steps in case anyone else runs into this
    1. Downgrade to 2.6 (using the latest 2.6.x you hopefully still have in the cache)
    $ pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/mongodb-2.6.8-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
    $ systemctl start mongodb
    2. Run authSchemaUpgrade
    $ mongo
    > db.adminCommand({authSchemaUpgrade: 1});
    3. Upgrade mongdb
    $ pacman -S mongodb
    Hope this is helpful to someone.

    Aborting...
    It is not the PKGBUILD's fault, apparently, as the same error occurs when I autogen-configure-make manually. So is there something wrong with my system, the python setup maybe? (I tried manually replacing "python" by "python2.7" in the Makefile – no success.) Or is it an upstream bug, maybe related to this bug? Is there anything I can do?
    Sorry if the answer is obvious, but I really do not feel like I understand this python stuff properly. Also, sorry for duplicating my AUR comments – it was only today that I figured I might get more response in the forum.

    Don't panic, I don't. Just did not have time before now.
    EDIT: Done. I am still throwing in the towel, though. I was trying to make a gtkmm-git PKGBUILD, because I need the latest gtkmm for development. However for gtkmm-git I needed gtk-git, for which I needed glib-git and pango-git. I successfully (at least it appears so) managed to install glib-git and pango-git, but now I get a linker error with gtk-git and will not spend another day looking for its source. I will just wait until gtkmm-3.1 is released.
    EDIT 2: Alright, it appears there must have been something wrong with my "successfull" installs as well, as I just started a gtk app (Balsa) and it did not have any font, just rectangles for letters. Replacing glib-git and pango-git with their stable counterparts turned everything right again.

    , I have also run
    pacman -Syy
    to make sure the repository is up to date.  I read the wiki post about time, but my ntp daemon is running, and I have confirmed that my time is exactly right.

    hello!
    I try to upgrade kchmviewer to version 1.3, but make failed with ld error:
