Hi . I have just run pacman -Suy rebooted the system and found i could not start X getting the error message /usr/bin/X: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory .. Someone has suggested the fixed version of X but it is not showing up having done a "pacman -Syyu no fix i have had to use the dodge suggested on the arch linux bbs of ln -s /usr/lib/libudev.so.1.0.1 /usr/lib/libudev.so.0 Yes i know it is not strictly speaking the correct thing BUT it got the system working again what i want to know is which mirror is likely to have the fixed version of X on it i can the get back to standard system . Oh i also noitced that the systemd-udev update has messed the PA sound system up Pete . -- Linux 7-of-9 3.3.7-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue May 22 00:26:26 CEST 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[arch-general] upgrade disabled IP forwarding
by Fons Adriaensen 03 Jun '12

03 Jun '12

A pacman -Syu today unexpectedly disabled IP forwarding on two of my machines which were configured to provide that service. Unexpected because AFAIK there's no recent news item mentioning this, nor were there any upgrade messages about it. No big deal, and probably just some unwanted side effect, but it could be a good idea to announce this somewhere. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities. (Cory Doctorow)

[arch-general] archlinux install failed
by Jude DaShiell 03 Jun '12

03 Jun '12

I was using the material on the archlinux wiki page in arch-linux for the blind and ran into an error. Instruction 5 started the problem in which alsa-utils and espeakup and speakup get copied to the machine. I was told no updates were done and that no servers were configured for pacman when I tried to do that instruction. The thing is, that instruction is in my braille notes from quite a while ago exactly as it appears in the wiki and at the time I installed archlinux using those notes no such problem happened. Has something changed with the remote repos I should know about or is something else going on? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jude <jdashiel-at-shellworld-dot-net> <http://www.shellworld.net/~jdashiel/nj.html>

[arch-general] Anyone running hylafx with systemd - modem init/respawn OK?
by David C. Rankin 03 Jun '12

03 Jun '12

Guys, Before I cause myself headaches -- is there anyone that has updated to systemd running a hylafax server with traditional serial modems? I see that systemd has the faxq.service and hafaxd.service: usr/lib/systemd/system/faxq.service usr/lib/systemd/system/hfaxd.service But what about the init and respawn of faxgetty that was usually done through inittab? mo:35:respawn:/usr/lib/fax/faxgetty /dev/ttyS1 This may not even be an issue on Arch, but there have been issues with systemd on suse, etc. not handling the modem initialization after update to systemd. So before I end up with an issue, I thought I would ask if anyone else has made the jump to systemd with hylafax. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] PKGBUILD-perl.proto
by Myra Nelson 03 Jun '12

03 Jun '12

While working on some AUR packages, I took a look at the PKGBUILD prototypes that come with pacman. The one difference that I had a question about has to do with this snippet: _author=AUTHOR_NAME _perlmod=MODNAME pkgname=perl-$_perlmod pkgver=VERSION Since the MODNAME package being downloaded is, major caveat --usually, BackPAN-Index-0.40.tar.gz that would make the pkgname perl-BackPAN-Index-$pkgver[whatever]. A quick survey of the Arch package database still shows packages still named like perl-backpan-index-$pkgver[whatever]. I've yet to use the pkgname style, but was wondering if this is the future of perl package naming? Myra -- Life's fun when your sick and psychotic!

[arch-general] heimdal dependency preventing upgrade? (it's not even installed? )
by David C. Rankin 02 Jun '12

02 Jun '12

guys, Trying to update tonight and I ran into a problem where the install failed due to a heimdal dependency. heimdal isn't even installed. The output looked like: 00:48 nirvana:~> pmsu -w :: Synchronizing package databases... core is up to date extra is up to date community is up to date archlinuxfr is up to date aaany is up to date aapkg is up to date kdemod3 is up to date :: Starting full system upgrade... warning: audiofile: ignoring package upgrade (0.3.2-1 => 0.3.4-1) warning: shadow: ignoring package upgrade (4.1.4.3-5 => 4.1.5-4) :: Replace sqlite3-doc with extra/sqlite-doc?

Whey would heimdal suddenly appear as a dependency when it was never complained about as a dependency before? Any thoughts of where to look? Could this be triggered by udev deletion? How? What say the experts? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] weird kde crashes

Is anyone experiencing lots weird crashes of KDE applications recently? I'm getting tons of crashes very often, sometimes less then ten minutes between a bunch of crashes (Aaargh, KNotify, KMix, Krunner, Plasma, Kded and KMix crashed within a second while writing this email). It started here after the recent upgrade. The upgrade log looks like this: [2012-06-01 17:46] Running 'pacman -Syu' [2012-06-01 17:46] synchronizing package lists [2012-06-01 17:46] starting full system upgrade [2012-06-01 17:46] removed udev (182-4) [2012-06-01 17:46] upgraded util-linux (2.21.1-2 -> 2.21.2-1) [2012-06-01 17:46] installed systemd-tools (184-2) [2012-06-01 17:46] upgraded bluez (4.99-2 -> 4.99-6) [2012-06-01 17:46] upgraded consolekit (0.4.6-3 -> 0.4.6-4) [2012-06-01 17:46] upgraded device-mapper (2.02.95-4 -> 2.02.95-6) [2012-06-01 17:46] upgraded cryptsetup (1.4.2-1 -> 1.4.2-2) [2012-06-01 17:46] upgraded initscripts (2012.05.1-1 -> 2012.05.1-3) [2012-06-01 17:46] upgraded libatasmart (0.18-1 -> 0.18-2) [2012-06-01 17:46] upgraded udisks (1.0.4-3 -> 1.0.4-4) [2012-06-01 17:46] installed media-player-info (16-1) [2012-06-01 17:46] installed herqq (1.0.0-1) [2012-06-01 17:46] upgraded kdelibs (4.8.3-1 -> 4.8.3-2) [2012-06-01 17:46] upgraded khrplatform-devel (8.0.3-1 -> 8.0.3-2) [2012-06-01 17:46] upgraded mesa (8.0.3-1 -> 8.0.3-2) [2012-06-01 17:46] upgraded lib32-mesa (8.0.3-3 -> 8.0.3-3.1) [2012-06-01 17:46] upgraded libcanberra (0.28-4 -> 0.28-5) [2012-06-01 17:46] upgraded libglapi (8.0.3-1 -> 8.0.3-2) [2012-06-01 17:46] upgraded libegl (8.0.3-1 -> 8.0.3-2) [2012-06-01 17:46] upgraded libgles (8.0.3-1 -> 8.0.3-2) [2012-06-01 17:46] upgraded libpulse (2.0-1 -> 2.0-2) [2012-06-01 17:46] upgraded soundkonverter (1.5.0-1 -> 1.6.0-1) [2012-06-01 17:46] upgraded xorg-server-common (1.12.1.902-1 -> 1.12.2-1) [2012-06-01 17:46] upgraded xorg-server (1.12.1.902-1 -> 1.12.2-1) It seems most of the crashes occur somewhere in Qt. I'm suspecting it might be udev related, as most of these updates were because of the udev rebuild. Any idea what can be behind these crashes? Lukas
