[Solved] Xorg update from testing: display corruption.

Hello!
Today I did a update in my system, pacman updated 3 packs:
[2008-09-08 09:05] upgraded libx11 (1.1.4-3 -> 1.1.5-1)
[2008-09-08 09:05] upgraded pixman (0.11.8-1 -> 0.11.10-1)
[2008-09-08 09:05] upgraded xorg-server (1.4.99.906-3 -> 1.5.0-1)
My display now looks like this:
You see the stripes?
I use arch in x64 system with a xpress 200m card (using the open source drivers).
Someone have in cache the old version?
Thanks!
EDIT: Solved, bug from upstream solved in pixman-0.11.10-2

To correct it, downgrade Pixman.:D

[solved] no updates from testing/unstable ?

Hi
I installed kdemod4 a few days ago. For that I needed the testing-repo the first time since I use arch, for installing a newer version of exiv2 which is needed by kdemod4.
I remember that after doing a "pacman -Syu" with activated testing pacman offered to update around 5 packages, including exiv2 and a new kernel (2.6.25).
I did only update exiv2 and removed the testing-repo again.
When I activate testing and unstable now in pacman.conf they still get synchronized. But there are no updates available. Which is odd because I definitly did not install all updates...
I still use the standard kernel (2.6.24-ARCH).
I don't need any packages out of testing or unstable. But I would like to know whats wrong. If there is something wrong.
root@arch:~# LANG=C pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date

Edit: Thanks for the hint, I changed the output.

Thanks that was it.
So easy... pacman offers now ~ 50MB of updates. Unstable still contains no single update... but I think I just don't have any package installed which is available in unstable. Its a very fresh installation. Just core, xorg, kdemod and compiz.

[solved] Xorg update makes screen become black for short time now a...

Hello,
when using the new xorg-server package, my screen becomes black for an instant every once in a while, needing some time to switch back on (perhaps a backlight problem?). This appears to be partially induced by fast mousewheel movements, but is not dependent on. The worst situations seem to be a XFCE-terminal producing lots of output or scrolling in Opera. Then the interrupts become inacceptable (about 1:1 on:off-ratio). The problem occured for the first time some weeks ago (when the xorg-server update was moved to current). In the meantime I have downgraded back to the previous versions of xorg-server and xf86-drivers, the problems have gone.
I use xf86-video-radeon open-source driver with an Radeon 9200, AIGLX, nothing like beryl or compiz but the default XFCE desktop without compositing. Removing the xorg.conf or using the vga or vesa drivers doesn't solve the problem. My system has the most current packages installed (nothing from testing). Frequencies and resolution should be all right (the xorg.conf worked with the old packages).
Another question: Where can I see which xorg-version is distributed in the repo? It should be something like 7.4 but the only package I have installed is xorg-server with version 1.2.0-5.
If you need more information, please ask me! Thank you for your answers.
fi-dschi
EDIT: Now I have the xorg-server from testing installed. As I deactivated the hSync-settings in xorg.conf I now have much less trouble. Scrolling and quick movements of windows etc. now don't cause problems. Yet the screen has just become black again, without any apparent reason.

I have good news: The problem now does hardly ever reappear. I have installed the xorg-server from testing and now my screen becomes black about once a day what is perfectly acceptable. As I don't know whether tis is healthful for my screen I am still interested in a clean solution. So please post your ideas if you know what the reason could be.
The german forums have given me some replies which, as yet, don't include an explanation for my monitors' interruptions. The thread can be found here:

[SOLVED] xorg update has broken nvidia-173xx driver

Hi,
I've been using arch for around 2 and a half months on 2 computers (a dell Inspiron 2200 and an old home built pc). So far I've been able to figure out most things myself. However, following today's xorg update x seems to be broken. My laptop, which does not use nvidia, seems to be fine. On the pc i installed the i686 version and am running kde 4.5.1
I have reinstalled nvidia-173xx and nvidia-173xx-utils, and run nvidia-xconfig but this has not helped any.
Although the installation is carried out there is an error stating:
ERROR: Module nvidia does not exist in /proc/modules In order to use the new nvidia driver, exit xserver and unload it manually
A google search on the above error didn't advance me any further, either.
I have also waited for today's kernel update but that hasn't seemed to fix things.
If I run "startkde" i get an error message stating that it can't connect to the x server.
"startx" says much the same only more verbose.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log has the following information :
dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_dvr.so undefined sym$
failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_dvr.so
unloadable module "nvidia"
failed to load module "nvidia" (loader failed, 7)
I've done a lot of esearch but can't find any solutions to my issue. The following thread seems to be related :
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103716
but i can't seem to find an answer there either.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

ok, went to downgrade using
#pacman -U ...
but i have yet another error due to a conflict between files :
xorg-server: /usr/lib/xorg/protocol.txt is already present in the file system
xorg-server: /usr/share/man/Xserver.1.gz is already present on the file system
xorg-server; /usr/share/xkb/README.compiled is afready present in the file system
is it possible to safely force the installation?
sorry if thatś a lazy question but I've been looking at this for so long that i can't fathom the idea of futher searching.
EDIT: ok, i had a break and realised it'd be safer to simply rename and the delete the problematic files. The downgrade went fine. I have X back.
thanks for the help.

[SOLVED]dhcpcd update from 5.1.4-1 to 5.1.4-2 killed my network

I have a laptop with testing enabled that uses wicd to manage its network connections. I followed the wiki at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wicd to install this and it worked flawlessly for over a year by now although nearly daily I ran pacman -Syu.
But Today my network stopped working. Further investigation showed that dhcpcd 5.1.4-2 was the culprit. Downgrading this with pacman -S core/dhcpcd is bringing me back to business again. I'm filing a bug report too.

Latest mono from testing is corrupt?

I know every time someone gets that from a pacman -Syu they tell them to delete the package and run -Syu again, but I don't have it on my system?

Problem with kernel 2.6.19 and ipw3945 from testing

After kernel and ipw3945 packages update from testing my wireless network profile isn't working any more so there's something wrong with one of those. Ipw3945 module is loaded but network profile simply fails to start (maybe problems with dhcp?). With kernel and ipw3945 from current everything works fine.
Anyone has similar problem?

congyiwu wrote:
The extra repository seems to already have 1.1.2... I was having the same problem so I ran "pacman -S extra/ipw3945"
Does anyone know why pacman -Syu doesn't automatically figure out that the version in extra is newer than the version in testing?
The extra version (i.e. the one that's been upgraded to 1.1.2) was compiled for the kernel26 package in extra (2.6.18), wheras the version in testing was compiled for the kernel26 in testing (2.6.19). Thus the module in extra won't work if you're using the newer kernel.
I hope the testing package gets upgraded soon, since it sucks not being able to use wireless! I tried to update the PKGBUILD myself, but couldn't get a working module...

After installing update 11.0.07, I have been unable to print pdf douments from websites displayed in I.E. 11

I just installed 11.0.07 and since then have been unable to print pdf documents from websites displayed in I.E. 11 (32 bit). The problem did not exist until I installed the update. Opening the same sites with Chrome solves the problem, but some of the important sites I use, (FAA WebOPPS for instance) don't work with Chrome or anything other than I.E. for that matter. Does anyone know if Adobe is aware of the bug and working on a fix?

Let me put it in context.I am a developer, and in my work we create a flex application a few years ago and we are providing support to this application. Since 2 days ago th button we create in our application for View PDF just stopped working. We use this code:
public function navigate( url:String ):void
navigateToURL( new URLRequest( url ), OPEN_NEW_WINDOW );
It is very simplistic and worked fine as I told you, until Tuesday this week. Please tell me what happened, it seems the last plugin version crashes somewhere and my button just does not work any more.
Thank you.

[Solved-ish] problem with autologin after xorg update

Hi
I use auto login like described on "Automatic login to virtual console", with the exception that i login as user on VT7 rather than VT1.
Then execute startx on VT7 from zprofile, as shown in Start X at Login.
After updating xorg this morning, I was on VT1 after boot. The screen was kind of blinking once a second, and totally unresponsive.
Booting from the install image on an USB-stick, I commented startx in ~/.zprofile.
After that I was again on VT1 but able to login and then run startx on VT1. Later I found out that I had a login on VT7 and was able to run startx there as well.
Why wouldn't startx run automatically, when it runs fine manually.
This is my [email protected]/autologin.conf
nagual% cat [email protected]/autologin.conf
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --autologin leo --noclear %I 38400 linux
Type=simple
startx is run from zprofile with:
#[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR == 7 ]] && exec startx -- vt$XDG_VTNR
could it be because the display doesn't change to VT7, and why would an xorg update change that?

Thanks. I did see this. As far as I can tell, it shouldn't matter in my case, but of course I could be wrong. I'm starting X on VT7, same as the login. I don't do any redirecting of stderr.
And it is very curious that auto login is affected.

What do you mean you're in the process of "downloading the installer for 10.7.3"? If you mean the software update combo, you won't be able to use that to go from 10.7.4 to 10.7.3. The only way you could do that is to reinstall the whole OS from the App Store IF that version is 10.7.3. I don't know if the App store Lion installer includes 10.7.4 already, but if it does, you can't get to 10.7.3 at all.
As for what you do about your slow machine, there are tips all over the internet. I wrote up some of the basic one's to try here:
http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/12/05/why-is-my-mac-running-so-slow/
Other possibilities not mentioned there are either a corrupt install of Lion (solution; re-install from the Recovery disk) or hardware failure (old hard disks and other hardware components can sometimes give out there last after the strain of a new install).

[SOLVED] One last remaining hurdle with Xorg update

[SOLVED] -- apparently one more reboot needed Well, anyways, here's a working config for an nvidia laptop w/ Synaptics touchpad running LXDE/openbox
Ok -- I fought through the Xorg update along with everyone else, and with the help of the wiki and the forums, managed to get everything working using the input hotplugging through hal. I have the nvidia driver & synaptics touchpad configured and working properly. The keyboard, including multimedia keys are working (with no .Xmodmap now) with one exception -- when I hit C-Esc to trigger the openbox menu, the menu opens up, but I can only scroll through it using the mouse - can't use the cursor arrows. Before the update, I could use the cursor arrows to scroll through the OB menu. Otherwise, the cursor arrows work normally in the terminal and firefox and other apps -- just that one instance I've found where they don't work. Any ideas? I've restarted X, hal, and the computer several times

Do you have a bootable clone from prior to the update? If so, roll back with that.
Are your apps that won't open PPC and do they need Rosetta? Do you need to activate Rosetta?
Have you considered reinstalling 10.6 from your install disc and then coming forward with the 10.6.8 Combo Updater, then doing software update and not including whatever it was you installed that caused this propblem?
By the way - what update was it that caused this problem?
