Hi, Guus. I've just run the memtest from archiso. Just passed, no error reported. So I'm afraid it has to be an fs bug or other hardware error... I'm looking forward to running a SMART test later. But the current Arch installation is on a Kingstom USB drive, is that okay with the SMART test? In fact, what confused me most now is why both pacman and fsck reported segmentation fault... It can't just be a coincidence, right? Oh, remembered one more thing. I tried to remove the gnome-extra group again this afternoon. The same error, the same output. More specifically, even exactly the same time the error happened (when attemptting to remove package telepathy-idle). Funny enough, Uhm? ;) Thx a lot! RW Guus Snijders <gsnijders@gmail.com> wrote:

Hello again, All.

Update:

I ran fsck in archiso this morning, and found sth interesting.

To sum up, fsck.f2fs exit with signal 11, arguing segmentation fault.

AFAIK segfaults are memory errors (where $program tries to read or write memory that isn't his).

If there is a problem with the fs, fsck should complain and if possible fix it, not just crash.

Try memtest86 (give it a few hours) and see if something comes up.

Mvg, Guus Snijders
