[Solved] Update broke some things

Okay, I just ran pacman -Syu and among the kernel and ndiswrapper updates some important stuff got broken.
1. When I try to boot up it gets to the file systems spits out a bunch of stuff and gives me this error
/etc/rc.sysinit line 271 5915 segmentation fault /bin/mount -o remount, rw
What do i have to do to that line to let it boot normally?
2. This isnt a fatal error, just an annoyance. but in that same file on line 350 it says: /usr/bin/kbd_mod no such file or directory.
Can I delete this line?
3. and finally once again, these updates broke the wireless. When I run netcfg2 mynetwork I get a wireless association failed error.
Any help on this?

Well right now I can boot using the fallback option in grub.
Here is fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

/dev/sda2 / ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda3 /home ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
I did an pacman -Syu update a few days ago when I first posted this thread, installed about 18 packages. Then when I tried to boot up again, I started getting the segfault error.
Heres the /var/log/pacman.log of the night it broke:

[SOLVED] Update broke font anti-aliasing

I've been updating daily, and there were just a few updates today (Sunday, 22 January). However, almost immediately my fonts went ugly. I tried rebooting, but it didn't help. Anti-aliasing doesn't work anymore in Xfce or KDE, which is all I tried.
I did notice there was a udev update, but there were also some library updates that I can't remember. I have no idea what broke.
Any insights or suggestions? The system is ugly enough that it's hard to read, so I'm moving over to an Arch I haven't updated today.
Last edited by eerok (2012-01-22 20:18:08)

Solved. For some reason I suddenly needed to add a hand-rolled ~/.fonts.conf -- one might have hoped that the Xfce settings would actually work for the Xfce panel and menus, but I guess not.

[solved] updates broke gnome

i know this is a stupid and noobish title, but i really couldn't think of a better one.
after a recent update, lots of things broke, and i'm not even sure if they're related to one thing or just issues of their own.
1, after the upgrade, i couldn't log in with slim (i use the inittab method). i tried going to runlevel 3 and starting slim as a daemon, same effect. right after logging in, the hard drive stops and i only have a cursor. tried starting gdm as a daemon, same thing. the funny thing is that i can start gnome with 'startx'.
2, gnome-panel says the clock applet is broken, but i've seen topics on that.
3, nm-applet asks for a password (probably because i started the session with 'startx'), but upon entering it, the dialog freezes.
i only have one response: wtf?! i'm not a complete noob, but i really can't do anything about this.. is anyone getting these problems? is there a fix/workaround?
thanks,
bamdad

after looking around a bit I found that in /etc/systemd/system there is a file called '[email protected]' with this content:

BindsTo=sys-subsystem-net-devices-ens3.device

Changing the last to lines to the right interface name made it work again.
BindsTo=sys-subsystem-net-devices-eth0.device
After=sys-subsystem-net-devices-eth0.device
Don't know why systemd changed the name of my interface, but I'm anxious to know when it will do it again.
Works for now. So its kind of solved.

I'm personally suspecting it has something to do with gtk3 or maybe gnome-desktop. The rest of the taskbar is fine and I haven't encountered other issues. I'm currently using Gnome icon pack, so the Adwaita update didn't do anything. I tested different icons for the tray, all of them had the same problem. Is anyone else experiencing this with tint2-svn? Should I try reverting packages or will that make things even messier in the long run?

Hi, thanks for this answer. tint2-svn seems to be hopelessly broken. I had to even fix the version I had installed (back in February), but the latest one seems to be an absolute trainwreck. I tried the tips from the comments:
I `m successfully compile after next changes:
- patch launcher_apps_dir-v2.patch needs to be modified, source code in svn has been chaged in util/common.c, changes to patch on http://pastebin.com/avmcFs8s
- patch tint2-systray.patch need to be removed, because source code in file systray/systraybar.c already have patch changes
This one led to:

I wouldn't know how to manually fix it and there wasn't a solution in the comments. Also tried building the git version with this pkgbuild: http://sprunge.us/VaeE?sh still got this error: No CMAKE_C_COMPILER could be found. I also googled and found out some users have reported the svn version works without patches, that didn't work for me when I tried it. It looks like I've hit a dead end. I'm using tint2 for now, but it sadly doesn't have the feature to move tray and clock to bottom when using it as a sidebar. Also it has the same transparency issues in the tray. I might be forced to start looking for a new panel

[Solved] Update broke xorg?

Hey everyone,
So I updated my system yesterday. I rebooted my system and now when I xinit, xorg displays a black screen. I have no idea what could have caused this as I don't remember installing any update that would possibly break xorg so completely. I am running a Lenovo z580 with intel HD 4000 integrated graphics.
To be perfectly clear, I can boot into the initial shell perfectly (I don't know the name but it is the one that requires you to log in if you do not have a log in manager installed). I can do anything I want to in that shell, but if I xinit into Cinnamon, i3-twm, or Openbox, the screen goes black and I have to ctrl+alt+F2 to get back into the shell. I have found that xorg is running but it is only displaying a completely black screen for ever single desktop environment.
As this is in Newbie Corner, you can probably tell that I have no clue what I need to do to get this fixed. Please help.

So far I have been using the .xinitrc file combined with xinit. I have xinit set up to take an argument (via the xinitrc file) and start either cinnamon (exec gnome-session-cinnamon), i3 (exec i3), or openbox (exec openbox). I think at one point I set up the xorg.conf file so that I could run Steam. The only change I made though was to use SNA instead of UXA(?). Other than that, I haven't really touched xorg's conf files (maybe I blacklisted one of the modules that the wiki said could cause issues with intel drivers???).
Thanks for the help!

[solved] Update broke my system. Again

I did an full system update after few days, and the result is:
1. spaceFM will no longer automount removable devices, like SD cards
udisks functions are not authorized through policykit,
so devmon cannot automount drives.
2. My reboot/shutdown/hibernate/suspend scripts don't work either:
$ dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit" /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Restart
Error org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.NotPrivileged: Not Authorized
And I've done that: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PolicyKit
but it changed nothing.
I am using Slim.

Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
Thanks again, Sandra2474.

So I updated to OS X Maverick(s) and backuped my harddrive and got a new one installed, everything seems okay but some things are missing in my settings like the software update icon. Does anyone know how I can get it back?

So I updated to OS X Maverick(s) and backuped my harddrive and got a new one installed, everything seems okay but some things are missing in my settings like the software update icon. Does anyone know how I can get it back?

Okay so I asked someone from apple and they said that the software update icon is gone but its functions have been merged with the app store icon on the settings menu. Crisis averted haha!

I'm getting charged for some thing I did not approve and I can not get my updates that I need

I can not get any up my updates because I am getting charged for some thing I do not know about

Does clicking Command- cure it (by reducing the font size on the page)?

Update Broke Dual Monitors...among other things

Well Good Evening everyone....I got home to an updated, broke windows build. I am guessing my PC stayed on and automatically updated over night. I came home to no signal on either of my monitors, all of my software that was installed is now missing,
and i could not get into my PC. I restarted several times but still no success. I finally removed my secondary monitor, and I then had my screen back which is when I discovered all of my settings and software had been removed, kindalike a Refresh PC you can
do on Windows 8. All of my files and documents are still in tact though. Also if I plug my secondary monitor back into the video card, still no signal. I've tried using the Windows+P to extend, as well as going to Screen Resolution but my settings will
not save when i hit apply. This is a bit annoying but I do understand its a technical preview. Just wish my secondary monitor worked, Windows 10 is no good without it. Any ideas?

Have you tried deleting the drivers manually from Device Manager? Remove any and all components that might be conflicting and unplug any unrelated peripherals. Then reinstall the latest Windows 8.1 drivers. Also make sure your
monitor connections are setup properly.

Well, let's try again.
First check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility>in the panel at left, select the first item in the list/your HD mechanism>look at the bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” or something more ominous like “Failing.”
If S.M.A.R.T. status is "Verified," run Repair Disk: Boot from install disc (insert disc>restart>immediately hold down c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”)>at first screen select the language and click Continue> click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar>open Disk Utility>select your HD in the panel on the left side>click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

Z3 Compact is amazing! But can't get some things to work...

Hi everyone, this is my first Sony phone, which I bought to replace my Galaxy S4. Went this route because of the reported awesome battery life and because I was fed up with such a "big" phone, and wanted somethign smaller. The flagship-speced Z3 Compact was the obvious choice. I've only had it for close to 4 days, and I'm in love. Xperias Android Skin is so much smoother, complete and logical than Samsungs, while the phone is much cooler and premium-feeling. So far there's three things I can't figure out though. 1. By reading, it seems it's a common problem, some reporting some things fixed it, most don't Facebook Events and Birthdays to show up on the Calendar. My Galaxy S4 showed both. I've only managed to have events show up on my Calendar, but can;t figure out why Birthdays are not there, and how to add them. Any solutions? 2. Message/Notification counts. ON the Galaxy S4, Whatsapp and Line, for example, had a little balloon showing the number of unread messages/notification that the app was reporting. On my Z3 Compact, this is not the case, not even with something more "stock" such as Hangouts, which I use as default SMS client. I know it does such a thing, because the Email app does show the amount of unread emails in a orange-yellowish balloon. Help? Other than those two... I adore this phone. Got close to 60 hours of usual usage out of a single charge, with not a single moment of lag, performance drop or Stamina mode enablment.. That's witchcraft, if you ask me. 3. Email app: I can't find an option to have the client always show images by default, instead of always clicking "Show Images" and then "Always show images". Where can I set this up? Thanks for all the help!

I have the same problem with the synchronization of calendar and contacts the small size photos.Xperia with Facebook malfunctions and it's a flagship phone.Please indicate with this problem in a support, but did not get a solution.
I was hoping that after updating to Lollipop problem will be solved, but it did not happen.
You can make use applications Sync. ME and Calendar Sync for Facebook.
Xperia with Facebook is not working properly !!!

In the past, when I updated iTunes, some items would be 'lost'. I quit updating, still running 10.6. I do keep my files on an external hard drive, which I plug in before starting iTunes. If I leave the drive off, and update, would that keep me from losing any files? Also, does anyone know how to search the iTunes store by price? I'm particularly interested in movies and audiobooks... Thanks

iTunes does not have provision for automatically storing one kind of media on a separate drive, so you have some basic decisions to make first. Do you want these movies to still appear in your iTunes library, or are you content with browsing filenames on a drive in Finder when you want to look for one? The second's the easiest thing because then you don't have to have an external drive permanently turned on and attached to your computer (wired or wireless). To do that you literelly only need to drag your movies folder to an archive drive and delete movies from iTunes. To watch them again you can add it back to iTunes while holding down the option key so the movie is used from its location on the external drive.
There's ways to move the movies to an external drive while keeping them in iTunes but the external drive iwll always have to be turned on and connected to the computer or you will see a bunch of broken link exclamation marks.
Realize what you are talking about is not "backup". Backup (which you should do) is putting a second or more copy of items on external drives for the day when your internal drive fails and everything on it is lost, inclduing all your home photos and perhaps things that have been pulled from the iTunes Store and can no longer be re-downloaded.
