AwesomeWM fails to start after upgrade(missing libxcb-aux.so.0)[solved

rubix · 2011-12-06 19:05:50

Hello all. The specific error message I recieve is:

awesome: error while loading shared libraries: libxcb-aux.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

/usr/lib is indeed missing libxcb-aux.so.0 (and libxcb-icccm.so.1, plus I think some others as well), even though I've installed(and tried reinstalling) all of the xcb packages (libxcb, xcb-proto, xcb-util, xcb-util-image, xcb-util-renderutil, xcb-util-keysysms, cairo-xcb) and everything was working just yesterday.

Could someone point me in the right direction of what I need to install to get things working again?

Well that worked nicely, I guess I should've thought of that heh. Thank you.

Got the same problem. Im a little new to Arch, so "recompile awesome" gets me confused. Could you explain what you did?

If you're thinking "let me google that for you", sorry about that.

Hi !

I have exactly the same issue. Awesome stop to launch since a few hours.
Same error message about libxcb-aux.so.0.

I have tried to reinstall-recompile xcb-util and friends but now it is impossible to recompile (yaourt -Sb) awesome (installing awesome with yaourt -S is ok but send the same error message).

yaourt -Sb awesome send :

Thanks for help.

Use a less outdated PKGBUILD for awesome, it is the compability patch for xcb-util <0.3.8 that is causing it.

jinleileiking · 2011-12-07 06:21:42

I recompiled but failed

you should take a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … g_packages for full info, but long story short (steps that I did):
Download the tarball that jasonwryan linked to (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41362) and extract it somewhere (tar -xvzf awesome.tar.gz)
pacman -R awesome -- if it's installed, which I'm guessing it still is
makepkg -s -- in the (newly created when you extracted) directory containing the PKGBUILD
pacman -U <whatever-package-is-called>.pkg.tar.xz

This solved it for me, thanks rubix

alex1985 · 2011-12-07 10:46:46

OK gents...

I can't figure it out....

i tryed 7SLEVIN method, but the same error I get is:

package 'xcb-icccm>=0.3.8' not found

Where tha hell is that pkg??????????
I googled it but all I can find are confused infos and unusefull stuff!!

Thanks... :-)

EDIT
I used a temporary solution...
I downgraded xcb-util, removed xcb-util-image, downgraded intel driver and startup notification.

Then I build again awesome and it worked....

Anyway, I can't update the entyre system

Hope to find a solution! Thanks again!

Are you cherrypicking from [testing] or used [testing] earlier but have now disabled it?

guilouv · 2011-12-07 20:19:31

Thank you so much 7SLEVIN !!!

But just to know why your solution works, what is the difference between your method and rebuilding directly with yaourt -Sb ?

alex1985 · 2011-12-07 20:45:27

Never used [testing]

this is the compiling output

EDIT

this is without patch

And this is the best I can reach, installing all xcb packages...

well the dependencies are right maybe you have them broken.

pkgfile xcb-icccm.pc
extra/xcb-util-wm

reinstall that

@ wonder has reason, it's only new XCB-family dependencies problem, but with the updated PKGBUILD in AUR all dependencies are solved

pkgname=awesome
pkgver=3.4.11
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc="A tiling window manager initialy based on a dwm code rewriting."
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://awesome.naquadah.org/"
license=('GPL2')
depends=('cairo-xcb' 'pango' 'imlib2' 'lua' 'libev' 'dbus' 'libxdg-basedir'
         'startup-notification' 'xcb-util'{-image,-keysyms,-wm})
makedepends=('docbook-xsl' 'asciidoc' 'xmlto' 'doxygen' 'gperf' 'cmake' 'luadoc' 'imagemagick')
optdepends=('rlwrap: readline support for awesome-client')
options=('!libtool' 'docs')
install=awesome.install

and if you use the updated PKGBUILD with yaourt or manually will be the same thing, ahhhh, and really important, your system will be updated to have the recently xcb version installed (recently added to extra repo)
