System "broken" after pacman -Syu

Hi there,
I ran a pacman -Syu today, without reading the news, so I didn't ignore filesystem and glibc. Now the system is totally broken, cannot initiate new ssh sessions, and commands like ls or pacman, or everything I tried so far except cd gives the following error:
bash: /usr/bin/ls: No such file or directory
The system is not yet upgraded to systemd, I was about to do it after this system upgrade.
I realize this is bleeding edge, not bleeding flat, so I should bring my own parachute, but I have no idea how to fix this.

You might try this
Also, look at this article
Note that you cannot chroot in as you will have the same problem in a chroot environment.
Thank you for the suggestions. I tried it, and made things worse. When booting it says:
Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-uuid/[uuid] ...
Error device /dev/disk/by-uuid/[uuid] not found.
Skipping fsck
Error unable to find root device /dev/disk/by-uuid/[uuid].
You are being dropped to a recovery shell, type "exit" to try and continue booting.
sh: can't access tty, turning job control off.
Very same on the fallback as well.
The strangest thing is, that the recovery shell does not respond to keyboard, while GRUB, and the BIOS did.

Kmail web links broken after pacman -Syu

Hello -
I use Kontact/Kmail for my email. After a recent upgrade, web links no longer work in my emails. When I click on any type of link in an email, an "infinite loop" of processes is generated. No windows appear, just process after process is started and stopped. This problem only seems to happen within Kmail.
Shutting down Kontact does stop the problem, so I end up rebooting. I can't seem to find any one process to kill to stop the madness either. I sent myself an email with a link to the Arch home page - here is a partial output from the process list:

Thanks a bunch -

sounds like another kio problem...
'll look at home if i experience the same problem as you do.
try to put those lines from your output (process list) into code tags, that helps for having them readable.

After pacman -Syu my system won't boot (It is not grub problem!)

My English is not very strong, so you can look at this photo:
http://img262.imageshack.us/my.php?imag … 102os3.jpg
After pacman -Syu I rebooted computer and my system crash.
No hardware changes, notning else change, only I have done system upgrade.
A little bit more information /etc/fstab:
/dev/sda1 /boot blablabla
/dev/sda2 / blablabla
/dev/vg-home/home /home blablabla
Kernel is booting normal (located at /dev/sda1 ; HDD is OK??), but when system starting "software" and checking the file system / (/dev/sda2), you see in photo result.
Any ideas?

I can boot computer from instaliation CD and mount partitions, it is not problem.
I have forgot about emergency booting. But this problem is temporary, there is real problem:
- nvidia-71xx is no longer supported and has been removed from the repositories. Affected users should install xf86-video-nv or xf86-video-vesa, complaints can be sent to nvidia for not providing compatible drivers.
nv driver doesn`t support direct rendering (and 3D), don`t? And I can`t use more archlinux AND other distros after updating to new Xorg?
My video card is Geforce FX5700 (not very bad and old card).

[SOLVED] Black screen after kernel boot after pacman -Syu

Hi, after full system upgrade with pacman -Syu, I get after the kernel boot black screen and everything is freezing. Then need to manually shut down the power button!
Normally when my system starts up after the kernel boot I get straight to the command line terminal login.
Can anybody help me how to fix this? Any clues? Any advice is welcome!
The problem is solved by downgrading to kernel 3.6.11.-1
Many thanks for the help from the people on #archlinux !

What have you done about the errors being printed to your logs? You could start by fixing the network error and the broken udev rule...
Are you still using intiscripts? They are no longer supported: https://www.archlinux.org/news/end-of-i … s-support/

[SOLVED] cannot find root device after pacman -Syu

Today I had a problem after pacman -Syu. Of course, my problem stemmed from not paying attention to the following (from https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57205):
<b>Read pacman's output while upgrading.</b>
I could no longer boot. I received a message "cannot find root device" or something similar indicating a device with the appropriate UUID had not been found and I was being dropped into a recovery shell, then, when I typed exit, an emergency shell, followed shortly by a freeze.
After some investigation it appeared my initramfs was broken/non-existent/something after the install. I booted into a live CD and found that updating pacman again, and mkinitcpio -p linux both displayed the following error: "Failed to create temporary working directory in /tmp". Long story short: mktemp was segfaulting. This should be extremely easy to check if you're having a similar problem. I replaced it with the version on the live CD and ran the pacman update again. Success. If you do this, you may need to make sure your live cd architecture and installed kernel architecture are the same.
I'm not sure of the etiquette here, so I'm posting this in case someone else has the same problem I did; and benefits from a similar solution. I have checked the etiquette post and I don't think it's clear whether it's kosher to post things that don't actually require a solution. However, if I have misinterpreted the rules/etiquette and/or this type of post is considered extraneous please remove it.

You have to use lvm first. As all those vg*, lv*, and pv* commands are actually links to the lvm command, you should have to do something like "lvm vgscan" instead of just "vgscan".
Edit: oh and at that point in the boot process, you are actually in the initramfs still (ash to be specific).
Edit2: I was having issues with a USB keyboard and a new machine (actually just a new bios), and found out that because of windows 8's requriement for a fast POST, the default is to turn off the scanning for usb devices. Though this was for UEFI, and I am not sure if the same would apply for a bios booting machine...

[SOLVED] Broken SLiM after pacman -Syu

I know that it's good to understand the rolling release approach from ArchLinux and that an update may have unforeseen consequences.
Yesterday I wasn't that smart and updated my system using pacman -Syu. I'm having the system with SLiM and Cinnamon on top. Now
when I login I get the message: "failed to execute login command".
I already googled the error (SLIM+error) here: https://www.google.nl/#q=slim%20error%2 … %20command
And I've checked .xinitrc and slim.conf. everything looks just fine.
When I put in my ArchLinux cd, boot from it, /mnt my /dev/SDA1, bash and try to see what error I get from the system then I see a message
about PulseAudio (but guess my check was useless ). Anyway, my Pacman log is down here, my log from SLiM and Xorg.
Pacman:

Xorg.0:

SLiM:
http://pastebin.com/3LdcUBPc
Am I that stupid? Guess so but well, who can help me out without reinstalling my system?
My image I built with CloneZilla was corrupted so I'm kind of lost for now.

[solved]gcc broken after pacman update - libcloog-isl.2.so

Hi,
After a pacman update my gcc broke. When compiling it gives this error:

How can I fix this? I already tried installen cloog with pacman but that doesn't help.
edit:
I solved the problem. There was an issue with my pacman.conf. Multilib wasn't properly enabled after the pacman4 transition.

I'm using multilib.
@Allan
more fully than pacman -Syu? Or is my mirror not up to date?

Computer freezes after pacman -Syu

Did a pacman -Syu and then rebooted after some programs did not work. When rebooting I get
************FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED****************
* Please repair manually and reboot. Note that the root *
* file system is currently mounted read-only. To remount *
* it read-write: mount -n -o remount,rw / *
* When you exit the maintenance shell the will *
* reboot automatically. *
checked drives with fsck and get
/dev/sda3 : Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while reading block 1545
/dev/sda3 : Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read reading journal superblock
/dev/sda3 : Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while checking ext3 journal for /dev/sda3
sda is my second drive for backups and documents/music/photos
sdb is the root/boot/swap drive
I commented out /dev/sda3 in fstab and arch booted up but got to the last line which is starting kde??(don't know for sure cause it scrolls by so fast) and then I get a black screen with a steady cursor. I cannot ctl+alt+ anything to get to a tty or out of that screen. So I cannot check any logs or files and I don't know what to do now when the only thing I have been able to do is restart the computer and the same thing happens all over.
I guess I need to get a bootable cd (live cd) to get arch up and try to get a terminal to find problems. But reading the instructions for live cd it appears that I have to be in arch first. I am borrowing a windows computer to get on the internet and research. How can I burn a live arch cd in a windows system?
Or is there something else to try??

I'll bet that skottish will kindly ask you to not cross post and direct people to your other post: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=65113

[SOLVED] X fails after pacman -Syu

After a year or so without upgrading (not recommended) I did a pacman -Syu; it took like ages 'cause I was on kernel 2.26, and now my arch is a complete mess: user modules don't load at boot, dhcpcd is not working so I don't have internet access and the X server is erratic too. Now I have to repair it step by step, and I think I should start with X.
Here is the startx/ xinit output:

I guess the gnome-session error with libdevkit-powe-gobject.so.1 is what causes the x server to close. And this is the complete X log:

So you updated everything except gnome-stuff? Update the gnome-stuff.
But I'm all for gnome 2 , and X should work despite of the gnome version or the desktop environment. Shouldn't it?
No, not if you're using gdm or autoboot into gnome or something similar.
gnome-session: error while loading shared libraries: libdevkit-power-gobject.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file

This sounds like one of gnome-sessions dependencies have been updated and isn't compatible with gnome-session anymore.

Boot fails after pacman -Syu

Hi, I did pacman -Syu and after this the system did not boot anymore.
I noticed 2.6.18 kernel files
First I got problem with master boot block
then I got: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
- As proposed in another topics I tried already:

shouldn't it be 2.6.18 ?
So it seems that CD on the primary IDE and disks on the Secondary IDE
seems to be a problem for upgrading from v0.7.0 to v0.7.2
Shouldn't I swap the IDE flatcables ?
If I should do this is the kernel26.img right for this new hw configuration ?

My 2G USB stick crash after Pacman -Syu

I want my 2G usb stick install a archlinux.
It is very difficult to install a workable GUI interface with just 2G bytes.
Finally, I succeed by choosing minimal package set carefully.
I only left a few M bytes space.
When I 'pacman -Syu', my file system full.
My question is:
1. How to prevent out of space when upgrade system?
2. How can I recover it?

In fact, I've two USB stick, the cache directory has already moved to another USB stick.
But, /usr/bin still full.
And I found some pacman information seems missing after the disk full.
I don't know how to recover my OS. Some package seems out of work.

Lost sound in Freevo after "pacman - Syu"

Hi!
I've been using freevo all day but after doing a "pacman -Syu" I've lost the sound. No files will play and just skips to the next. The terminal output from freevo is this:
failed to load plugin alsamixer2
start 'freevo plugins -l' to get a list of plugins
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/build/community/multimedia/freevo/pkg/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/freevo/plugins/alsamixer2.py", line 35, in <module>

I checked the pacman log and the files that got updated was:

Does anyone know what's happened to the alsamixer2 plugin here? Did the upgrade of python-pysqlite do this? Looks like something happened when I did the last update...

I'm really not sure how to downgrade...
Where do I get the old version of the files? Like python-pysqlite-2.3.5-1...
Thanks for the help!
Nvm, I found them in the cache.
No I didn't I can't find the old versions. At least not python-pysqlite-2.3.5-1.

"FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED" after pacman -Syu

Hi all,
After a sucessfull 'pacman -Syu' (in which i didnt see any 'todo' messages but it did have a kernel upgrade) archlinux cannot start and i just get to a message similar talking about my root partition (ext3):
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
******************* FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED *************
* Please repair manually and reboot. Note that the root *
* filesystem is currently mounted read-only. To remount *
* it read-write type: mount -n -o remount,rw / *
* When you exit the mantenance shel the system will *
* reboot automatically. *
I restarted with a livecd and 'e2fscked' the partition (which btw found many errors that were corrected by it) but archlinux still gives me the same message. I have checked the partition again and again a thousand times but it always comes up clean, im even able to mount it from the different livecds i have tried and can read and create files on it so im pretty sure it is fine.
And so my question is, does anyone know why this is happening? How comes archlinux keeps seeing a problem in this partition when others dont? What am i doing wrong?
An y answer appreciated.

Hi again,
I have done some testing, maybe it will help.
After the failure message i put roots password and i got dropped to a shell, if i try to find the root partition (eg. ls /dev/sda) gives an error cause it sda doesnt exists.
If i edit rc.sysinit with a livecd and remove the fsck part i get a few diferent errors, some about partitions not being found and similar stuff. In my little knowledge of linux it ooks to me like it doesnt load the sata module or somethig...
I copy here the pacman.log file, i remember that the update was a huge one, around 400 Mbytes if i remember correctly:

Rc.sysinit screwed after pacman -Syu

Early today I made a pacman -Syu. There where only 2 packages to upgrade, and I went go on (I couldnt find those packages specified in pacman.log. It only says "Full system upgrade". How can a know those?) Couldnt find anything in the forums regarding this as well.
I do remember too, that one of those give and output after upgrading saying that inittab (I think) and rc.conf were installed as inittab.pacnew and rc.conf.pacnew
The thing is that when I booted again this afternoon, the booting process launched handful of errors on different lines of /etc/rc.sysinit, all of them of "command not found". Now the login prompt says "(none) login:", my keyboard layout changed to default, home is not mounted, etc...
How can I debug this?
Thanks in advance!

^ the same situation as above, and like you figured it to be Bash. (The segmentation fault errors don't show up when "quiet" is in the kernel boot line.) But with the hostname as "none" the filesystem is read-only; how did you downgrade it? Or rather, how does one downgrade a package on a mounted filesystem via the Arch Live CD such as /mnt/root? ... I guess a dirty use of "cp" would be required if not possible with pacman...
