[arch-general] /usr/bin/X: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0:
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

FWIW, that probably has the same cause (new version of libudev, but old version of PA and X). -t

Yes i know it is not strictly speaking the correct thing
Not only is it not correct, it is plain stupid.

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.

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

I had the same issue....chrooting into livecd system and: mkinitcpio -p linux did it...but it would be better to do system upgrade without it. ;) Sincerely, Gour -- But for one who takes pleasure in the self, whose human life is one of self-realization, and who is satisfied in the self only, fully satiated — for him there is no duty. http://atmarama.net | Hlapicina (Croatia) | GPG: 52B5C810

Yeah, because the best response to a partially upgraded local mirror is to whine about how you should be able to use it (in a fairly parochial manner as well) rather than:- a) reporting it to the person in charge of the mirror b) changing mirrors c) actually doing anything productive which isn't ill-advised

I believe this has been discussed on this Mailinglist a few weeks ago and that it is being solved, check the archives. If not, check the arch-mirrors ml: http://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=9&ved=0CGUQFjAI&url=https%3A%2F%2Fmailman.archlinux.org%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Farch-mirrors&ei=DYjMT_SxNIam8gOxuekK&usg=AFQjCNFu3dgyVg64-iIHRaZMyqKc6lCp-Q T
X is not a critical package and you shouldn't mess with udev just because X fails to launch.
Is that right. Many may see X as far more critical. The drivers are in the kernel after all. I presume you mean udev problems could possibly affect bootup. If it can, maybe that's a design error? Of course that doesn't mean your not right, but maybe rephrase to your risking boot failure, if that's what you meant?

What drivers? All I was saying is that failure of X is not critical because you still have tty logins and perfectly working console... so you go from there.

Of course udev can affect system boot. But noone was talking about boot failures, just simple graphics/sound problems. -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key: 0x164B5A6D Fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D

Well, first all mirrors I named are not German but US. Second, please don't bother mirror admins every time their mirror gets out of sync -- I assume they (just like everyone) have problems with ISP/network and most likely know about these issues well before you do. -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key: 0x164B5A6D Fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D
