[arch-general] After installation of dbus-1.2.3-3: error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-1.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
by Michael Schmarck 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Hi. I'm using the core, extra, community and unstable repos on my ArchLinux i686 setup and just now did a "pacman -Syu". Since then, I cannot start Gnome (and other programs): --($ /Arch/Cache)-- avahi-browse avahi-browse: error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-1.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory --($ /Arch/Cache)-- gnome-terminal gnome-terminal: error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-1.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory And indeed, there's no "libdbus-1.so.3" file on my system anymore. I updated the following packages: Pakete (8): bzr-1.8-1 [4.28 MB] dbus-1.2.3-3 [0.03 MB] fuse-2.7.4-1 [0.14 MB] libsigc++2.0-2.2.3-1 [4.43 MB] man-pages-3.11-1 [4.17 MB] openoffice-base-3.0.0-2 [140.99 MB] sdl-1.2.13-3 [0.60 MB] tzdata-2008h-1 [0.53 MB] I suppose the update of "dbus-1.2.3-3" caused the problem. Was it correct that libdbus-1.so.3 got deleted? FWIW, I also filed this as a bug -> http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/11831 Cheers, Michael -- GMX Kostenlose Spiele: Einfach online spielen und Spaß haben mit Pastry Passion! http://games.entertainment.gmx.net/de/entertainment/games/free/puzzle/61691…

[arch-general] Missing dependency for git?
by Sébastien Mazy 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Hi, When trying to commit to a subversion repository needing authentication using git, I got the following error: Password for 'username': Can't locate Term/ReadKey.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/share/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl /usr/lib/perl5/current /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/current .) at /usr/lib/git-core/git-svn line 3071. The problem was solved by installing perl-term-readkey from extra, but this package is not listed as an optional dependency for "git svn" or did I miss something? Cheers, -- Sébastien Mazy

[arch-general] dependency problem in avahi package?
by Henri Häkkinen 21 Oct '08

21 Oct '08

Hello, Is there a dependency problem in the avahi package? Avahi got installed as a dependency of VLC in my system and now I am geting this error message when running `pkg-config --list-all`: Package qt-mt was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `qt-mt.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable Package 'qt-mt', required by 'avahi-qt3', not found I'm not running KDE and I don't need Qt. -- Henri Häkkinen

[arch-general] System upgrade fails
by Manolo 18 Oct '08

18 Oct '08

Hello, i´ m getting this message when i try to upgrade my system (pacman -Syu): I have the system in spanish, so i write a translation of it: :: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... checking for conflicts... error: fail to prepare transaction (couldn´ t satisfy dependencies) :: ipw3945: needs kernel26<2.6.27 I think ipw3945 is something about my network card, but whatever it is, it´s not listed in the repositories (pacman -Sl | grep ipw --> ipw2100-fw and ipw2200-fw). And my kernel is 2.6.26-ARCH, so i think is a kernel26, <2.6.27, right? Anyone with the same problem?? Can i uninstall the package without a problem?? Thanks.

[arch-general] LVM On The Eee 701 4G (SSD + SD Card)
by Carlos A M Filho 18 Oct '08

18 Oct '08

I am trying to install ArchLinux 2007.08-2 on an Eee PC 701 4G using LVM, to span the SSD and a 2G SD card. I followed the instructions at: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lvm However, after I finish the installation process and reboot, the system claims it cannot find all physical volumes belonging to the volume group and hangs. Before the installation, I used cfdisk to partition the system like this: /boot: /dev/sda1, 20M (it does not run out of space) /: /dev/sda2 + /dev/sdb1, the rest of the SSD and all the SD card. No swap partition. Please help. Thanks in advance. Carlos Filho

[arch-general] Install Arch from network - Wiki page
by Strika 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

Greetings to all. I made some changes to http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Install_Arch_from_network_(via_PXE). This is my first contribution to Arch Linux wiki, and to any wiki pages. Can someone please check my work. I'm not expert Linux user, but I just finished install to some old lap-top over LAN and I found wiki paged incomplete and bit confusing. I'm also not native English speaker. I also fount this page http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tftpd_server, which I think describes similar thing, so I tried to merge both pages and I don't know if both pages are necessary. Sorry if this is not right place to write. Nebojša Stričević

After I select mountpoints for swap and root and choose "Done" I get several similar errors and mountpoint selection starts from the beginning.

And I think Andreas has the same principles as me, either you go full x86-64 or you don't. A middle road is messy. If it were up to me the kernel wouldn't even have support for executing 32 bit stuff (right now that option is enabled). Glenn
