nvidia installation hanged, had to cancel... pacman errors after that

fresh Arch install (64bit), had just installed X then went on to nvidia & nvidia-utils but it hanged so I had to cold boot... after that this is what I get for whatever I try to install with pacman, I've tried removing both nvidia & X and re-installing, still this comes up

Re: nvidia installation hanged, had to cancel... pacman errors after that

Have you tried this:

Re: nvidia installation hanged, had to cancel... pacman errors after that

I tried that and it's the same - package removal and (re)installation seems to work fine but everything pacman does ends with this ldconfig... is truncated jargon. It seems to be a ldconfig specific error since I can reproduce it by running ldconfig manually. Doesn't that mean the package database is corrupt somehow?

Should I try to remove the files manually?

Re: nvidia installation hanged, had to cancel... pacman errors after that

No, it means those files are truncated. Figure out which package they belong to (pacman -Qo can help with that) and reinstall those packages. It sounds like you had a hard shutdown at some point and files weren't sync'd to disk.

Re: nvidia installation hanged, had to cancel... pacman errors after that

will try. When you say not sync'd to disk do you mean than that the files in /usr/lib are in some sort of cache?

Re: nvidia installation hanged, had to cancel... pacman errors after that

ok I did try pacman -Qo on most of the files (even with .so and .so.1) but it finds none...?

Re: nvidia installation hanged, had to cancel... pacman errors after that

When you write to disk, you're not actually immediately writing to the physical disk. You're writing to an intermediate buffer that the kernel maintains in order to be efficient (as writing to physical media is comparatively sloooow). Buffers are flushed periodically based on time, or the buffer filling up, but you a chance on power loss or any other hard reboot that these buffers won't be flushed to disk and you'll end up with truncated files.

'man 2 sync' and the 'see also' man pages can give you more detail about this if you're interested. Also, please learn to use the 'edit' button.

Re: nvidia installation hanged, had to cancel... pacman errors after that

thx for your help, I removed the packages and the truncated messages are all gone. We're back to work!
