[SOLVED] systemd, autofs and lxdm

OK, after recently migrating rc.conf to the more 'systemd' structure, but still using init I figured I'd give systemd another shot, and herein lies my problem.
According to the wiki there should already be units available for various DMs, though i only have xdm available. I've copied and modified the copied version for lxdm (well, not strictly correctly, I've modified it to start xfce the same way that my "old" style does, with ck-launch) but I just get dumped to a root desktop (which I can't log out of). What I want is the lxdm login. I'm pretty sure there's a bunch of stuff I've forgotten since I set this up, so how do I get systemd to launch lxdm to a login screen.
Second. I'm getting autofs errors at boot, and automounting isn't available.
Google has helped me not one jot (either lousy googling or lousy forum thread titles, not sure which) and I need to fix this too.
Not looking for a verbatim answer. Rather looking for links where I can get the why's and wherefore's. The Arch systemd wiki doesn't cover this (it assumed units present which are not).
I've installed the arch units already. Any pointers would be appreciated.

lxdm package from Community contains usr/lib/systemd/system/lxdm.service
please check with
pacman -Ql lxdm
But if you can't
systemctl enable lxdm.service
you can try manually symlink it
ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/lxdm.service' '/etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service'
btw. in AUR pkgbuilds there are no lxdm.service at the moment, so you neet to copy it from community source files (best way)

[solved] systemd-journal and shadow.pacnew updates

After a recent install and update I have come across the same issue described here where the user was recommended to ignore and erase some .pacnew files. My update generated the following:
/etc/dhcpcd.conf.pacnew
/etc/group.pacnew
/etc/passwd.pacnew
/etc/shadow.pacnew
/etc/gshadow.pacnew
The first, dhcpcd, seemed sensible enough and I incorporated the changes. The latter four all share the following characteristics:
1. Removed mentions of systemd-journal-remote and systemd-journal-upload. I'm not sure why so I left those records in place.
2. Changed a few permissions here or there, which i incorporated into /etc/group and /etc/password.
3. Changed the default shell for a few users; these changes I incorporated.
I was unable to open /etc/shadow or /etc/gshadow in write mode so I've left these files. Perhaps that's fine because the thread mentioned above says so. However, there's no explanation of why or where this information was obtained (or ordained!)
Is it fine to leave these two files? Why have syssystemd-journal-remote and systemd-journal-upload been omitted?

The steps you took look quite sane to me.
These groups are not in the defaults provided by filesystem (e.g. I don't have them). see the edit
Apparently systemd creates system groups and users on it's own, see 'man systemd-sysusers'. Do you know / can figure out why these groups are created in the first place ? not important in this case, see the edit as well
FYI e.g.: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/41717
The filesystem package provides those files as defaults (group, passwd, shadow, gshadow amongst otheres). However there are some packages that actually add additional groups they need (like ntp e.g.). The filesystem package cannot know about these. Therefor it's likely to have more groups in your local installation than in the .pacnew files you get.
The same applies for manually created users and groups of course.
If needed see the man pages for explanations of the respective files (e.g. 'man group').
Edit: Ok, I see that after an update I have them as well, so these are apparently new systemd groups and users. I think the rest I said above is still valid, so leaving those in place was the right thing to do.

[SOLVED] systemd reboot and poweroff as user

I decided to try systemd and all my services are working but I cannot reboot or poweroff as user.
$ systemctl poweroff
Failed to issue method call: Access denied
Failed to issue method call: Access denied
I also get that duplicate message for systemctl reboot.
According to the systemd wiki article, I should be able to reboot and poweroff as user and even if not, I should be given the opportunity to provide the root password, but I was not. Both commands work as expected if I su to root. Any suggestions? Thanks.

@Smasher816 - the op is right that he/she should be able to reboot, shutdown without superuser access with systemd. I just began using systemd and mine seems to work fine. You aren't logged in as root or another user in another terminal or tty are you? I know that you should STILL be given the option to enter the root password and shutdown, but that is the best I can think of at the moment

[SOLVED]systemd and make a camera visible GUI-wise in your filemanager

After reading a lot about systemd in the wiki and in this forum I understand there are different opionons about systemd. Anyway, I have a adapted all the changes to rc.conf leaving out only a few daemons to start there. So why not give systemd a try? If you dont want to read the full posting I finally got it to work, basically by reading carefully and checking the suggested tests in the systemd wiki. (loginctl)
As suggested by the wiki, I tried the systemd yesterday. Enabled via systemctl some services to "replace" my rc.conf daemons. I got what I thought everything to work, including autologin directly to my Xfce4 desktop. Everything except the digital camera.
When starting Arch traditionally via initscripts I immediately can see the camera in the filemanager (Nautilus) when the camera is attached via USB.
Some minutes later, after adding "init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" to the APPEND line in Syslinux and rebooting, my machine reboots
fine.But when connecting the camera again it is not visible graphically.
The camera is there because when using gphoto2 (the commandline) as root I can transfer pictures etc.
Even if I am no happy CLI user I can handle it when necessary. Handling pictures a graphical view of them is much easier...
As the wiki about systemd says one can try it out. I have not removed anything from the system and when starting Arch again, the initscript way, I can see the camera again in my filemanager, gthumb works again and pictures can be transferred to my machine.
In the wiki again, this time about digital cameras
Permission issues
Camera devices should be granted permission using ACLs. For this to work, users need to have consolekit or systemd running and the user session must be registered with them accordingly.
Check this using /usr/bin/ck-list-sessions to verify a value of "TRUE" should be returned for both the "active" and "is-local" fields:
$ ck-list-sessions | grep TRUE
active = TRUE
is-local = TRUE
ACL=Atlantic Container Line is what first comes into my mind. I have had some connections to transport business...I admit I had to google it to find the correct interpretation of this mumbo-jumbo.
The wiki also gives a "hint", if this is not working try to use the obsolete camera group and edit some udev rules.
Should not be necessary when it has worked before systemd and earlier experiences
But what is this about "Permission issues"? Here is my listings relative the wiki hints. All seems OK.. or why the heck are there two sessions??
[leif@krasaki ~]$ ck-list-sessions | grep TRUE
is-local = TRUE
active = TRUE
is-local = TRUE
[leif@krasaki ~]$ ck-list-sessions
Session1:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = '(null)'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = ''
active = FALSE
x11-display = ''
x11-display-device = ''
display-device = '/dev/tty1'
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2012-10-24T07:12:56.499847Z'
login-session-id = '1'
idle-since-hint = '2012-10-24T07:13:26.994037Z'
Session2:
unix-user = '1000'
realname = '(null)'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = ''
active = TRUE
x11-display = ':0'
x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
display-device = '/dev/tty1'
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2012-10-24T07:13:02.361157Z'
login-session-id = '1'
[leif@krasaki ~]$
As one can see, the ACTIVE values are here as the wiki says. But no camera. Those values are the same, wheter which way the machine is started. But 2 sessions??
Further reading in the systemd wiki article and consolekit vs systemd.logind gives a clue.
From the wiki:
In order to check the status of your user session, you can use loginctl. To see if your user session is properly set up, check if the following command contains Active=yes. All polkit actions like suspending the system or mounting external drives with Udisks should then work automatically.
So when started via systemd and running logintctl, it gives this surprising result. Does not matter wheter as normal user, nor as root....
[leif@krasaki ~]$ loginctl
SESSION UID USER SEAT
1 1000 leif seat0
1 sessions listed.
[leif@krasaki ~]$ loginctl show-session 1
Id=1
Timestamp=Wed, 24 Oct 2012 10:57:03 +0200
TimestampMonotonic=20040019
DefaultControlGroup=name=systemd:/user/leif/1
VTNr=1
TTY=tty1
Remote=no
Service=login
Leader=315
Audit=1
Type=tty
Class=user
Active=no

KillProcesses=no
IdleHint=yes
IdleSinceHint=1351069009642296
IdleSinceHintMonotonic=6664433
Name=leif
[leif@krasaki ~]$
Surprising? Should it not have been Active=Yes? So something is wrong in my settings although it had worked "before" starting using systemd..
OK, so far. Lost? Not yet. Double check again everything and I found the culprit, my ~/.bash_profile which had worked before seemed a bit different to what is suggested in the wiki. The old one, actually started 2 sessions, as also could be seen here above checking ck-list-sessions. That was the problem
Using a fresh edited ~/.bash_profile as suggested here, the camera is visible graphically
Finally, just for fun, start again the old initscipt way. Enabling daemon and so on. Still 2 sessions going on....Here it was the "/.xinitrc, which also had some old fashions and I removed the ck-launch-session from the exec line. So even here, now only 1 session..
Anyway, now the camera is visible, both starting with initscripts, naturally also some daemons active in rc.conf and by starting with systemd.
I rest my case and it seems systemd works with everything on my machine which is just a normal desktop used by an old man.
Thanks for reading...

Solved now! Boot times are as fast as posssible on my HDD I think. Only thing after uninstalling initscripst and initscripts-systemd was that locale was not set inspite of a correct /etc/locale.conf. I had to make /etc/profile.d/locale.sh with this content;
if [ -s /etc/locale.conf ]; then
. /etc/locale.conf

export LANG LANGUAGE LC_CTYPE LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME LC_COLLATE

[solved] Systemd hangs sometimes on boot with linux-ck

Hi i have linux-ck kernel installes and a Systemd-only init.
Sometimes it hangs on boot and then, instead of starting X / LXDM, drops to a commandline login prompt. It does not happen on every boot and never happend with arch stock kernel so far. I cant't login to search in systemd journal for errors because the keyboard does not work corret, e.g. if I press "o" it writes a "6"
here a shot from last time it happend. In the shot the last messages from Systemd are visible, but sometimes the screen is cleard before the login prompt appears.

Seems to me there is a problem loading the Nvidia driver. Don't know if the dbus errors matter ...
EDIT:
Makes sence to me, without a graphics driver loaded X / LXDM can not start.

[SOLVED]systemd-timesyncd is not syncing time

Quick solution:
1) Check that systemd-networkd is running (if not, start it)
2) If it is running and timesyncd is not syncing, just restart systemd-networkd
more on this in the last post.
Hello,
I tried to replace ntp with systemd-timesyncd. I disabled ntpd, enabled systemd-timesyncd, enabled and set systemd-networkd (I found that it might help) over netctl (which I could uninstall then). It somehow worked for few reboots, but then it stopped. Of course there must be a reason why, but I can't figure out what it could be. Everything looks fine to me, but time is just not syncing and I'm 30 minutes in the past (compared with realtime). It loads saved time (as fake-hwclock does), but then there is no sync.
Here are my logs:

Ok, thank you for your help. I signed a bug here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79836 .
Edit:
So here is a little help. timesyncd just waits for "network configuration change". I guess that (somehow) timesyncd is runned after networkd and then waits for change. All you have to do is
systemctl restart systemd-networkd
Here is example and steps to reproduce (after boot up, both networkd and timesyncd are enabled):

I solved this issue by adding new service (guide here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … rocess.3F) which runs this simple script
#!/usr/bin/bash
sleep 15
systemctl restart systemd-networkd
So workaround...

I've been having an issue for a while with systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service taking a very long time to run. I've tried to just ignore it, but it's really bothering me now.
Measuring by running:
# time systemd-tmpfiles --clean
systemd-tmpfiles --clean 11.63s user 110.37s system 10% cpu 19:00.67 total
I don't seem to have anything funky in any tmpfiles.d:
# ls /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/* /run/tmpfiles.d/* /etc/tmpfiles.d/* | pacman -Qo -
ls: cannot access /etc/tmpfiles.d/*: No such file or directory

How do I debug why it is taking so long? I've looked in man 8 systemd-tmpfiles and on google, hoping to find some sort of --dubug option, but there seems to be none.
Is it some how possible to get a list of the directories that it looks at when it runs?
Anyone have any suggestions on how else to fix this.
Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks,
Gary

Thank you very much falconindy. SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug helped my find my issue.
The cause of the problem was thousands of directories in /var/tmp/ created by a test suite with a broken clean up method. systemd-tmpfiles-clean was recursing through these, but not deleting them.

Problem with solver DLL load and Excel 2010

Since upgrading from Office 2007 to Office 2010 we've started to experience a problem with the solver addin when our own analytics addins is also loaded. I have found a solution, but I think it may highlight a problem with the latest version of the solver
addin for Excel 2010.
Firstly, to describe the problem - the solver addin seems to load normally when Excel 2010 starts up, however when a "Solve" is performed we are seeing a "File not found: Solver32.dll" error at the final "Keep Solver Solution" stage. This only happens our
own analytics addin is loaded. We've been careful to make sure that our own addin does not change the working directory and also that it has been built against the correct Excel 2010 SDK libraries. We do not see this error with any other versions of Excel
running on the same PC or any other environment.
After some searching we found other people were having similar problems and after a bit more probing I found a solution that works - but that I'm not very happy with.
If I copy the Solver32.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\Library\SOLVER
(where it was installed)
into :
C:\Windows\SysWOW64
(where Windows 7 keeps its 32 bit system DLLs)
then the problem goes away.
This seems to indicate that somehow Office 2010 has a problem that causes it to search in the wrong folder for the Solver32.dll when another addin is loaded in between the original Solver32.XLAM at start up and the use of the Solver in the sheet (which eventually
requires this DLL to be loaded). Oddly, this only happens after a solution is found and "Keep Solver Solution" is selected - and I'm not sure why it's not looking for Solver32.dll any earlier.
This is not a problem with any earlier versions of Excel and I suspect is a bug in the Office14/LIBRARY/SOLVER implementation. Is there any way to get this followed up?
Thanks,
Andy

I'm facing the same issue. With an Excel VSTO add-in we're building. When the add-in is enabled the assembly solver32.dll can't be found. With our add-in disabled the DLL is resolved as (Sysinternals Process Monitor trace):

and with our add-in enabled the following locations are tried, but solver32.dll won't be found:

If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

[SOLVED] Arch64, Opera and plugins library problem

I have Arch64 with Opera 64-bit as default browser. I have succesfully installed 32-bit flashplugin and it works nicely. The only problem is that fonts cannot be read from the flash player context menu and Open File dialog opened from flash player. The problem is that flashplugin tries to load 64-bit GTK from /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/ and it fails. 32-bit version is installed and it's located in /opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/.
Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libmurrine.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libpixmap.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Also I have library loading problem with totem-plugin. It cannot find libxul.so and libxpcom.so, but both library files are located in /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.1/. The plugin loads fine if I create links to both files in /usr/lib/. But that doesn't seem like right solution to me.
$ ldd libtotem-mully-plugin.so
libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x00007f94e19d9000)
libtotem-plparser-mini.so.10 => /usr/lib/libtotem-plparser-mini.so.10 (0x00007f94e17d6000)
libxul.so => not found
libxpcom.so => not found
libplds4.so => /usr/lib/libplds4.so (0x00007f94e15d2000)
What would be a most elegant way of solving these two library loading problems?
I think that symbolic links and moving files are not the most elegant way to solve the problem. Maybe some environment variable or some configuration setting would solve the problem (LDPATH comes to mind, but it seems that it doesn't work).
EDIT: I wasn't sure in which section to post this question, so feel free to move it if necessary.

I have solved my problem and I will post my solution because it can be usefull to others.
First the problem with flashplugin and GTK library path. Opera uses operapluginwrapper scirpt to detect if the plugin is 32-bit or 64-bit and after detection it uses operapluiginwrapper-ia32-linux for 32-bit or operapluginwrapper-native for 64-bit plugins. operapluiginwrapper-ia32-linux loads the 32-bit flashplugin in my case which requires GTK, but it incorectly tries to load it form /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/ where 64-bit version of GTK resides.
The solution is to set the GTK_PATH environment variable to point to /opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/ where 32-bit version resides. But if you set it globaly it will result in problems with other 64-bit applications. So the correct solution is to add following lines on the bottom of the operapluginwrapper script above the exec line:
case "$wrapper" in
*ia32*)
export GTK_PATH="/opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0"
export PANGO_RC_FILE="/opt/lib32/config/pango/pangorc"
esac
In this way the 32-bit paths will be active only for operapluginwrapper-ia32-linux process.
I have solved the other problem with totem-plugin requesting libxul.so and libxpcom.so, but the solution idoesn't matter because, although totem-plugin loads coreclty it doesn't work in opera. I have installed mplayer-plugin which works as it should. Also gecko-mediaplayer works correctly with opera, I have tested them both. Install one of the two plugins that work, and you will be fine.

[SOLVED] XBMC-standalone and LIRC

Hello everyone,
I have been fiddling around with a minimal Arch setup to just run XBMC. So I installed it and enabled the systemd service. Everything works just fine. So I installed lird and a self-compiled kernel module for the XboxDVDDongle which works just fine with lird, when I test it with 'irw'. But how can I tell XBMC to use my xbox dongle as input? Since I don't really know how to manually confgure XBMC because in standalone mode one does not have a '~/.xbmc' folder anywhere. I am a bitepuzzled here. Can anyone shed some light on this matter? Thanks in advance!

I recently fussed with getting this working myself, and in my case apparently the issue lies in XBMC itself; it expects a /dev/lircd when there isn't one in newer LIRC versions such as Arch use.
Try copying the stock lirc.service to /etc/systemd/system/ and modifying it as follows:
[Unit]
Description=Linux Infrared Remote Control
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/mkdir -p /run/lirc
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/ln -sf /run/lirc/lircd /dev/lircd
PIDFile=/run/lirc/lircd.pid
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/lircd --driver=default --device=/dev/lirc0
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Then try rebooting and/or restarting XBMC and the LIRC service.
Relevant bit is only this one.
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/ln -sf /run/lirc/lircd /dev/lircd
I added the other ExecStartPre due to some odd issues with /run/lirc not being created like 1 out of every 10 boots, not entirely relevant to this specific issue.
Thanks go to this thread for the original solution!

I upgraded Safari in my Mac (10.6.8 Leopard) but the new version does not work with my system so that I now have not a working browser. How can I solve the problem and/or install back my previous Safari version?

I have upgraded Safari in my Mac, but the new Safari does not work with my system. So I find myself without any working browser. How can I solve this problem and/or install my previous Safari version?

Reinstall Safari 5.1.10 for OS X 10.6.8: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1569. Might do the trick.
But, frankly, I don't think that simply reinstalling the old Safari will work because of all the peripheral, under the hood changes that happen when you upgrade from one version of Safari to another. Reinstalling 5.1.10 may be insufficient to turn back the clock. (This is the moment where a Time Machine or another form of full backup would save your bacon.)
While you're getting a copy of Safari 5.1.10, get a copy of Firefox (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/desktop/), too, so that you have an alternate browser to use as you're sorting matters.
