[Solved] Weird UDev errors at boot

vaidotas203 · 2012-04-03 18:52:27

Hello,

At-last I have installed Arch+E17 successfully, have everything working as I like:
slim - login manager
e17 - windows manager
sound
network - after long playing with network applet and connman, stayed with wicd
mountable partitions - since I have lots of them
cpu freq scaling - since I have laptop
and so on...

But there is a problem during boot, all text goes nice, and seems to start normal, but at line UDEV:

My system boots, but this error drives my mad. Any one could suggest what could cause it? How to fix it, or at-least hide when system boots.
I have enabled all repositories (including testing)

I have installed it to laptop (doubt I need to provide information about it), but it seems like problem with partitions, I have much of them as you can see in text.

Welcome to Arch.

Please see our policy on large pictures. Some of our members are on bandwidth limited or metered connections. As such we no not allow large, in line pictures. I generally only care about the number of bytes, not the dimensions.

vaidotas203 · 2012-04-03 19:39:48

Edited my post, so it would by hyperlink to picture, instead of image it self, so is there any info about problem solution?

Sorry, I am not an expert on udev. Someone will come by with some help, I can almost guarantee it.

In the mean time, you might post the output of fdisk -l /dev/sda when run as root.

Edit: should no one happen by, I'll try to look at this tonight (GMT-7) for you.

I have similar "trouble". For a couple of weeks actually. But as everything works fine I tend to ignore it. I believe it is (in my case) caused by an external harddisk dock/card reader connected on boot which has one harddrive and one or two flash cards plugged in at all times. I do not mount these drives on boot and mounting them manually works without any problem.

The only thing that pisses me off on this is an about 20 sec. delay preceding these messages.

Do you have similar conditions on boot?

I do not have connected anything external at the moment, and this slows down boot maybe only by ~2 seconds.

Seems like you're using half of testing. the udev helper is what's not found, not the device. Did you try to upgrade only gnome?

vaidotas203 · 2012-04-03 20:46:18

I am not using GNOME, I am using E17 windows manager.

Just noticed, that other partitions I mount manually, is read only

There's a lot more to [testing] than just gnome...

The point is that something is looking for /usr/lib/udev, which only exists in testing.

vaidotas203 · 2012-04-04 09:13:48

So then is there a way to track it and disable?
If it is only in testing, disabling it would not do any harm, or at-least downgrading to normal release?

I'm not sure what this means. If you have testing enabled for any package, either do a full upgrade to grab the remainder of what's there, or disable the repo and downgrade with 'pacman -Suu'. The testing repo is an all or none deal, and this is a perfect example of why.

vaidotas203 · 2012-04-04 13:20:17

I thought that I enabled testing repos while I was installing Arch, but when I checked etc/pacman.conf they were disabled. (testing and community testing).
But as I can see that udev shows this, so maybe solution would by to disable even community repo, and run -Suu to downgrade it.
warning: udev: local (181-9) is newer than core (181-5)

In all I have these warnings:

would disabling community repo solve this? I will by happy with older version, but without errors and warnings, if they will not mess system.

vaidotas203 · 2012-04-04 13:33:06

[SOLVED]
Did not disabled nothing

pacman -S udev

I was offered to install udev 181-5, restarted, and it booted without any errors

falconindy · 2012-04-04 16:22:56

Your "X newer than Y" messages indicate that you had testing enabled at some point.
