[arch-general] Broke my system again - device-mapper & readline conflict - best way to fix?
by David C. Rankin 12 Jul '09

12 Jul '09

Listmates, I have more fun in store for this weekend. After testing dmraid-1.0.0rc15, I had downgraded a number of packages that were installed from testing back to there normal versions but had left dmraid-1.0.0rc15 and device mapper from testing. Everything was working fine. Apparently some packages were moved from testing to extra or another normal repo because all of a sudden I began getting readline...so.6 error (from memory) on boot and was dumped into maintenance mode. In maintenance mode, I remounted to root filesystem rw and then mounted all the partitions and ran pacman -Sy readline (testing is disabled) After installing the latest readline, my box will not boot. I now gives a readline...so.5 error and never gets to maintenance mode. My question is "What is the best way to try and recover?" I have two options to work on the archlinux install: (1) the machine is dual boot with openSuSE so I can boot to suse and then mount the Archlinux filesystem (rw) under /mnt/arch. I'm not sure what I can do here unless there is a way for me to manually unpack some pacman packages and overwrite the problem files on the Arch install in this configuration; or (2) boot using the Arch install disk. Here is where I'm a little lost on the recovery procedure. I can manually assemble my raid array after booting to the install disk, but then what next? How would I go about reinstalling the various packages from either testing or extra when I have booted from the install disk? Thus my need for help. What say the experts? How best to go about fixing the device-mapper readline conflict? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] New Page added to wiki - Add_New_Partitions_To_Existing_System
by David C. Rankin 11 Jul '09

11 Jul '09

Listmates, After running out of room on my / partition on my Archlinux install and recovering by adding a couple of additional partitions, I put together a little howto in the wiki concerning the process in case anyone else finds themselves in the same situation: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Add_New_Partitions_To_Existing_System As always, writing it up for the wiki took a whole lot longer than fixing the original problem, but now it's done. Look it over, add to it, find all my typos, etc.. Hopefully it will be useful. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] qtconfig from [testing] doesn't show Gtk+
by Uli Armbruster 11 Jul '09

11 Jul '09

Hi I run [testing], so my version of qt is 4.5.2-2. A few moments ago I installed a qt program, but I'm not able to select Gtk+ in qtconfig, only Desktop Settings (default) CDE Cleanlooks Motif Plastique Windows I'm not sure since when this started to happen, I rarely use qt apps, but I think this is a bug. I wanted to ask here first. Regards Army

by Caleb Cushing 11 Jul '09

in addition to my resolv.conf issues. I notice a severe packet loss 20-30% between me an my local router. downgrading to the 2.6.30.0-5 kernel seems to fix it. anyone aware of driver problems with the e1000e driver in that kernel? -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com
