[arch-general] Testing kills shm and pts
Um what? You're going to need to be a little more specific. --Kaiting. -- Kiwis and Limes: http://kaitocracy.blogspot.com/
So I enabled testing, community-testing and kde-unstable updated yaourt -Syu and reebooted. Now when ever I boot the machine the /dev/shm and /dev/pts get mounted so that only root can write into them. So I cannot use shm as a normal user and no terminal emulator can create a /dev/pts/0 node. 2010/12/12 Kaiting Chen <kaitocracy@gmail.com>

Please don't top post. Anyways, this sort of thing really belongs in bugs.archlinux.org

This is still very broad and not very specific. You updated to a lot of

It would be good if you could say specifically what package you updated to caused this problem. Unless this is scratch system you are going to blow away, my advice is that you boot with some other medium, mount this install, and use pacman from the other medium to downgrade the install (after you have fixed /etc/pacman.conf on the broken system). If you want to continue down this path, once you are back to a normal system, one at a time you could make these repositories higher priority, update and reboot until it breaks, then fix again, then you'd have a better idea what package it was that caused this problem.

What is the contents of your /etc/fstab? What are the permissions of /lib/udev/devices/{shm,pts}? Cheers, Tom

Ah, sorry, didn't notice. To fix shm you should add "mode=1777" to the options. What is your use case here btw? Pulseaudio? Glibc should be able to create pts devices in /dev/pts even if it is owned by root (using /usr/lib/pt_chown). However, if that does not work you could try adding "guid=5,mode=620" to the options. Out of curiosity, how exactly do you reproduce this bug? Let me know how it goes. Cheers, Tom PS Does anyone else out there know why our standard /etc/fstab is not something like: # <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> devpts /dev/pts devpts nosuid,noexec,guid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs nosuid,noexec,nodev,mode=1777 0 0
