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
Not only is it not correct, it is plain stupid.
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 .
First, your /usr/bin/Xorg has been linked against an old libudev, so creating a symlink to a new library will inevitably cause breakage. I suggest reverting all changes while you can. Second, X is not a critical package and you shouldn't mess with udev just because X fails to launch.
Regarging working versions, xorg-server 1.12.2 and systemd-tools 184-2 work together just fine.
Regarding mirrors, kernel.org and rutgers.edu are the ones which I use interchangeably since ~2009.
Oh i also noitced that the systemd-udev update has messed the PA sound system up
Pete .
Since you seem to be in snotty mode that i neither asked for nor required. if the mirrors were up to date then this sort of thing would not happen , So Needs must , I update this machine everyday for several days i have been told nothing to do when i run "pacman -Syu" so maybe there is a mirrors problem sorry but not my department. If there is new stuff out there and it dont hit the UK mirrors i am in the UK why should i use German mirrors . -- Linux 7-of-9 3.3.7-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue May 22 00:26:26 CEST 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux
