[Solved] /proc, /sys, Various systemd Directories: No Space?

Howdy-ha, folks.  So out of sheer curiosity, I decided that I'd install GNOME and KDE to see how Steam performed under their conditions.  While installing KDE (and before installing GNOME), I receieved an error about no disk space remaining on the device.  Incredulous, I ran "dfc" and saw plenty of space left on the drives.  "dfc -a" told me this, however:

Well, that's not right.  I'm not even sure what the problem is here, so Im not sure how to begin troubleshooting it.  A reboot is about as far as I got, and it didn't help.  Incidentally, my pacman databases seem to be screwed up as well, as the installation partially finished before spitting out the error:
$ testdb
'oxygen-icons-4.10.5-1': description file is missing
'oxygen-icons-4.10.5-1': file list is missing
So: What did I screw up this time? Are there any systemd docs in particular I should look into?  At the moment my system seems to be running alright, as I was able to log in and post this, at least.  I can look into the pacman docs/wiki page for clearing up the database issue when I get a chance. Thanks in advance.

I knew their contents were temporary, but didn't realize they didn't in fact exist; since they store vital system/session data, I figured they were more tangible then that.  Anyhoo, here's what karol asked for

  • Initscripts -- echo "$HOSTNAME" | /proc/sys/kernel/hostname

    I just updated initscripts and rc.sysinit is no longer working as expected.
    It seems when:
    if [[ $HOSTNAME ]]; then
        echo "$HOSTNAME" >| /proc/sys/kernel/hostname
    fi
    is run. /proc/sys/kernel is not yet existing.
    So $HOSTNAME is now set to "(none)" and my prompt is:
    root@(none)...
    And this is in "Newbie", because I have just had a look at /proc/... so far and never before touched it... And I am asking, because I am not sure if it is just initscripts or related to systemd and .conf files.
    Last edited by Marcus27 (2012-10-02 04:18:00)

    This happens to me as well. It started when I rebooted yesterday after the initscripts update. I was planning to have a look at this tonight, so I'll come back and check this thread before doing anything :-)
    I wasn't sure if it was linked to the initscript package, since I hadn't rebooted for several days.
    The machine is a VPS (Xen), in case this changes anything.

  • Problem with the file /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug which is incorrect

    Hello,
    Since few days, I can't import photos from my camera with my user (that work in root), I open a thread in this forum (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=348659).
    After investigations, the problem come from the content of the file /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug which is just :
    -e
    When I run the start_udev script, the content of /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug change and importing photos with my user work again.
    I isolate the only important line for my problem :
    echo -e '\000\000\000\000' > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
    When I run this line after a boot, the import file from camera work.
    I think that the content of the file is bas setted while the udev starting or replaced by another event which occurs later !
    I use the x86 version up-to-date with kdemod.
    Someone have an idea of why the content of /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug (it must contain an executable for kernel call on hotplugging) is bad ?

    I think I've found the problem, see my comment in http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9935. Thanks for the information about /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug!

    From what I can gather form your post, the ORA-27125: Unable to create shared memory segment is probably the result of:
    a) not enough physical memory available.
    b) /dev/shm not configured properly.
    c) kernel parameters are not set according to Oracle requirements.
    Since this is happening during the installation of Oracle I suggest to check the SHMMAX kernel parameter. This is all mentioned in the pre-installation steps. Oracle 11g will actually check these kernel parameters prior to installing. Not sure about 10g now, which you are trying to install.
    The most common, easiest way to prepare the system for Oracle RDBMS is to install the "oracle-validated" package. If you don't have access to ULN, you can setup public yum.
    http://public-yum.oracle.com/ Then you can simply type as the root user: yum install oracle-validated

    sysctl is used to modify kernel parameters. If you are trying to enable/disable/start/stop services, then you'll need to be running systemctl.

  • [Solved] Suspend to Disk: systemd-hibernate.service Fails

    Howdy-ha, folks.  I know this looks pretty mundane, but for the life of me I can't get hibernation to work.  Each time I run systemctl hibernate the screen will go blank as though preparing to suspend, then come back on; journalctl shows the same error messages:
    PM: Cannot find swap device, try swapon -a.
    PM: Cannot get swap writer
    Failed to start Hibernate.
    Dependency failed for Hibernate.
    Service sleep.target is not needed anymore. Stopping.
    Unit systemd-hibernate.service entered failed state.
    This happens when swap is mounted, and "swapon" says as much.  I've been working on this for about four hours now, and none of what I've found seems to pertain to my situation (most of the "solutions" were "Increase partition size').
    What I've tried:
    - Three different kernels---linux-ck custom build and linux-ck-sandybridge from graysky's repo (both with BFQ and CFQ: see below), as well as the stock Arch kernel
    - A 2 Gb swap file at /swapfile on my SSD;
    - A 4 Gb swap partition on /dev/mmcblk0 (an SD card, and my preferred method/location, if possible);
    - An 8 Gb swap partition on HDD /dev/sdb2
    Reasons for wanting hibernate rather than suspend-to-RAM:
    - Maximize battery life.
    - There's some kind of issue with Linux-ck and suspending to RAM; it'll work once, then freeze in a kernel panic the second time, forcing a hard reset.  The stock kernel suspends to RAM, but still won't hibernate
    - I put a lot of time into building a custom Linux-ck kernel, and would rather not have to start the configuration over with the stock kernel if possible.
    I'm working with limited space on my boot drive and, as mentioned, increasing the amount of swap has no bearing on this.  The resulting phenomenon and error messages are the same, regardless of size and medium.  I've exhausted my ideas on where to look, and what to even look for.  Thanks a lot to everyone in advance (especially you,karol; don't think I don't see you lurking back there )

  • [SOLVED] Test conversion to systemd - Help with iptables status

    With all the discussion around systemd and with a move for systemd to [core] soon, I thought I would convert an arch laptop from initscripts to systemd and see how it worked.
    I followed the advice on the arch wiki for systemd, having already moved the systemd compatible parameters out of rc.conf a while ago. After installing systemd and systemd-arch-units, and adding init=/bin/systemd to the boot kernel line the system booted up nicely with systemd - graphical login failed as the relevant unit is not enabled at that stage - so hitting return to get a login prompt and logging as root it was quick to enable graphical.target and kdm.service, and rebooting then gave me a normal kdm login screen and then a normal login to kde.
    All fine at this point. (By the way total login time was just over 30 seconds for both initscripts and systemd) - then it was necessary to check which services were running - most were running by default under systemd including postfix, dovecot, and sound worked fine with a quick check on a browser for a video feed. Networking was working fine too.
    However iptables which was previously working fine under initscripts was not running - I checked that the firewall rules file was intact which is was.  Executing systemctl enable iptables.service appeared to be accepted but after executing systemctl start iptables.service and checking status again it was "exited" - the commands listed under the "start" command seemed normal and no error message appeared in the /var/log/messages file about iptables.
    Can anyone suggest what is needed to get iptables working under systemd (yes I have read the wiki entries but nothing seemed to be relevant to fixing that particular issue).
    Thanks in advance.

    I think what you're seeing is normal. Does it give a 0 exit status?
    The service is of type "oneshot". I *think* that means that it is expected to exit.
    As I understand it, iptables is a bit like ipfw. It's in the kernel and the userspace tools just provide an interface to that. So there's no daemon to run.
    You can tell if it has worked correctly by
    iptables --list
    to check that your rules have been loaded correctly.
    Note: I hope somebody will quickly correct me if I'm wrong about this because I've been assuming this is the expected behaviour on my own machine!
    Perfectly correct - I didn't think to check iptables --list but yes all the rules are there as they should be.
    It would be nice to have this documented in the wiki under systemd to help anyone else coming across the same issue.
    I will mark this as solved in the topic title - thank you for replying - it was very helpful (and stopped me continuing the search for a solution by googling!)

  • [SOLVED] Best Practice for systemd, udisks, udev, polkit,and openbox

    I have to admit I am stymied here.  I have been in the wiki and forums most of the day and am just not finding the solution here.
    I have both udisks and udisks2 installed
    I am running a pure systemd
    I do not use a login manager
    I use startx that has a switch clause based on an environmental variable to pick the environment I want.
    For now, let's limit this to xfce4 and openbox.
    I used to be able to log in and mount usb and SD volumes using Thunar, Dolphin, and palimpsest.  I can no longer do that; I receive an error indicating I've not the proper privileges.
    Even more fun, I log into a console and use udiskie, and can mount volumes without issue.
    I start X with startx, launch a terminal program, and udiskie will no longer allow me to mount.  I can read volumes mounted by udiskie before I started X.
    I have tried various combinations of ck-launch-session, dbus-launch in concert with openbox-session and startxfce4.  Nothing allows me to automount as a normal user.  This used to work, but something has gone south, but I am not clear when.
    Anyone have suggestions for a stable solution here?

    Are you starting X onto the same vt you logged into i.e. startx -- vt1 for tty1 or startx -- vt$(fgconsole) (or falconindy's xserverrc) for a more general case?   If you don't, systemd-logind cannot keep track of the session and the -kit permissions will thus break.
    You can see sessions using loginctl:
    └$ loginctl
    SESSION UID USER SEAT
    1 1000 zekesulastin seat0
    4 1000 zekesulastin seat0
    2 sessions listed.

    If you're not sure if you have the SDKs, can you confirm you have the files under /Developer? Check for /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/X11R6/include/X11
    I don't remember having to do anything special to get gcc to find these files.
    From what I've noted, the usual trigger seems to be that the X11SDK.pkg package wasn't installed.
    Typical PATH export is:
    export PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"
    If you're working with Fink, there's a call to the following needed:
    . /sw/bin/init.sh
    See http://finkproject.org/doc/users-guide/install.php
    But I'd first make sure the X11 SDK was installed. I'd guess that is missing.

  • [Solved]I deleted /etc/systemd/logind.conf by mistake

    I deleted /etc/systemctl/logind.conf by mistake with
    sudo rm /etc/systemd/logind.conf
    How can I get that file back?

  • [SOLVED] defect dbus service, systemd is unable to create socket

    Hi,
    I am experiencing serious problems with systemd & dbus.
    I want to setup a gateway in a KVM VM, all was working fine till i applied my shorewall config & set to autostart (systemctl enable shorewall).
    If I reboot the machine after this step one or two times, then I get a broken dbus service.
    What I did than: reinstalled archlinux again (x86_x64) and setup same -> got issue again.
    installed arch linux as x86 and setup same -> issue again
    installed arch as x86 and configured nothing else shorewall and got this issue again after maximum of two reboots.
    i found in log:
    Feb 13 15:45:56 pactor systemd[1]: Failed to open private bus connection: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
    I've checked this directory by hand and found that only /var/run is existing. /var/run/dbus is already not existing.
    logs:

    oh man... found the reason due to help of some guys on systemd irc... big thx to falconindy and alxchk.
    shorewall's SUBSYSLOCK option in shorewall.conf is by default set to /var/lock/shorewall.
    but the arch wiki point that it should be set to /var/run: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Router
    definitely wrong! that deletes the /var/run symlink and created a directory intstead.
    to set the SUBSYSLOCK on default is working like a charm.
    look also for this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151285
    could somebody modify the wiki in the meantime, i will hold this thread on -not-solved in the meantime
    edit:/ oh man this wrong info in wiki did cost me a lot of time :-/

  • Tab-completion after directories containing spaces broken

    Hello,
    Some days ago I noticed that tab-completion doesn't work any more on files and directories that contain spaces. I'm pretty sure that it has. I'm using bash (3.1.17-1). I don't know when this happened, but my suspicion is that it is related to the upgrade to readline 5.2. Has anyone else experienced this? (Maybe someone can be a bit more specific than I )
    Hm, here are some other perhaps interesting settings on my system:
    LOCALE="en_US.ISO-8859-1"
    KEYMAP="sv-latin1.map.gz"
    CONSOLEFONT="lat1-16.psfu.gz"
    CONSOLEMAP="8859-1"
    Regards

    In bug report somebody mentioned that he recompiled bash against current readline without success in resolving the issue (so did slubman a moment ago). I think that's rather bash itself  or bash/readline (not likely since new bash works properly) problem.
    Anyway I'm stopping before I'll turn this thread into bug system I'm going to watch bug reports since now without "bugging" you (a insectorium in one phrase )
    Thanks a lot for your replies and interest!
