[Solved] Several problems after switch to systemd

PhotonX · 2012-08-31 21:22:25

After many issues with today's update (like broken locale, broken suspend2ram, broken shutdown/restart, broken autologin, broken CPU clocking, broken fan control and broken wicd) I'm stuck with three of them, the most important being wicd.

Autologin is working now and after login I have to enter a password for wicd (which was not the case before the update). After entering the password I get the dbus connection error: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/wi … or_message If I kill wicd (which is runnig directly after boot, but not running properly), starting and stopping and starting again with systemctl works fine. But the autostart mostly fails for some reason (in rare cases it works though). I'm quite new to systemd and don't even know hot to open the new journal in a proper editor to search for errors efficiently.

The second thing is that the locale is being reset to C or POSIX I suppose, at least it's not German as it should be and also is set in /etc/locale.conf.

The third thing is that the Thinkpad fan control fails to start, too. I created a .conf file to load the thinkpad_acpi module which seems to work. If I start /usr/sbin/tpfand manually, the fan control works. But here also the autostart fails.

Sorry for the confused description containing about nothing on error or debug information, but I don't really know where to start digging and get useful information about systemd.

Thanks for any hint,
PhotonX

Your subject says that you switched to systemd but your message says "after today's update". Could you clarify exactly what you did? If you switched, what steps did you follow? If you (just) updated, which packages got updated (from pacman.log)?

Aw, I think that's something I should be able to think of.

Here is the log, but the last piece is just trying to fix things:

I found a solution for the fan control problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/tp-fan/+bug/776547 Also for some reason I made the same mistake as here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 9#p1154189 so the locale problem is also solved. But the most important problem persists. Interestingly, mostly I have to type in the password for wicd, but sometimes I get an information dialogue which says something about "you wasn't asked about your password since something is configured this way". In both cases however wicd doesn't work.

edit: I used following .service file for wicd: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Systemd#wicd

edit2: I noticed that wicd has a .service file itself, so I uninstalled wicd, removed everything concerning wicd and reinstalled it, but still the same problem... Also I noticed that sometimes I get a connection even after the error and a non-working GUI.

OK. So did you or didn't you switch to systemd? If so, which instructions did you follow? Because if you are still using initscripts, .service files shouldn't do you any good. On the other hand, if you switched to systemd, it matters which configuration you are using (e.g. pure or hybrid).

You should not need to load thinkpad_acpi explicitly. No configuration should be required for that. (Unless, I guess you have some odd hardware which the system doesn't recognise?)

In the case of wicd, the standard .service file installed by pacman works fine here - I've had problems with bluetooth and various other things but not this.

Looking at pacman.log again, I guess you must have switched to a pure systemd system. Presumably you edited your kernel command line appropriately etc.

So how did you go about replacing the functions previously cared for by rc.conf. In particular, did you enable wicd after reinstalling it?

Silly me, I forgot to reenable wicd after reinstalling, so now everything works fine, thanks! Also after removing the thinkpad_acpi.conf file from /etc/modules-load.d/ the fan control still works, so you were absolutely right about the kernel module loading.

Thanks again,
