[Solved] Error boot after upgrading and util-linux-tools and sysvinit

jesusangelm · 2012-09-24 17:48:30

Hi all ...

This morning I did a sudo pacman -Syu to update my laptop which packs sysvinit-tools 2.88-8 and 2.22-6 util-linux packages including ...

My surprise that I take is that a few hours ago after starting my laptop again I come across a series of error messages which do not allow me log into the laptop. catches of messages are these:

Picture 1
Picture 2

The log of pacman to upgrade is:

[09.24.2012 9:01] Running 'pacman-Syu'
[09.24.2012 9:01] synchronizing package lists
[09.24.2012 9:03] starting full system upgrade
[09.24.2012 9:21] removed eject (2.1.5-7)
[09.24.2012 9:22] upgraded coreutils (8.17-3 -> 8.19-1)
[09.24.2012 9:22] upgraded libmtp (1.1.4-1 -> 1.1.5-1)
[09.24.2012 9:22] upgraded mlocate (0.25-2 -> 0.26 to 1)
[09.24.2012 9:22] upgraded procps-ng (3.3.3-3 -> 3.3.3-6)
[09.24.2012 9:22] upgraded qt (4.8.3-2 -> 4.8.3-3)
[09.24.2012 9:22] upgraded util-linux (2.21.2-5 -> 2.22-6)
[09.24.2012 9:22] upgraded sysvinit-tools (2.88-7 -> 2.88-8)
[09.24.2012 9:22] upgraded transmission-gtk (2.61-3 -> 2.61-4)
[09.24.2012 9:22] upgraded whois (5.0.18-1 -> 5.0.19-1)

In making this latest update pacman eject told me that was going to be replaced by util-linux ... before answering affirmatively check the official website of ArchLinux to see if there were any announcement about this change ... I assumed there was none like it was nothing critical and permitted the installation of this patch ....

At the end of the error message you see in the pictures I show that I can run a command or shortcut systemctl keyboard to enter the "default mode" but I have no way to give commands and keyboard shortcut does not work.

No I could do to recover the system (other than reinstalling ArchLinux with new. Iso) ...
Someone has spent the same??? found a solution???

Greetings and thanks in advance!

Sorry my bad English!

Not a laptop specific issue: moving to Pacman and Upgrades...

In my case I applied a bit of K.S.A.R.S. (Keep Searching and Reading Stupid) with regard to the eject notification. Seeing that util-linux (core) provided eject (extra) helped to know that the right answer was to allow the change.

Regarding your startup issues, if I remember correctly (and checking the pacman log just confirmed it) there was also an update to sysctl.conf which should have been installed as sysctl.conf.pacnew . Did you do the related mantainance in case that is the reason for your troubles?

LOL i like K.S.A.R.S I think from now on will apply more...

mmm I have only one file systemctl.conf in /etc with this content:

in another forum recommended me to downgrade the updated packages to restore the system and use it.

but installing the updated packages I get this error

If I try the downgrade util-linux gives me:

Well right now I just recover the system and correct the fault, I did?

In one of my failed attempts to downgrade the packages, I decided to try reinstalling best packages that supposedly were already installed and updated,
to run pacman-U util-linux-2.22-6-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz aparecian me the following error messages I probocaban apparently a bad installation of packages ...

after reviewing the above files, I noticed that I had actually installed were empty, so I proceeded to copy the package util-linux-2.22-6-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

After this procedure to reinstall packages again util-linux-2.22-6-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz and sysvinit-tools-2.88-8-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz but this time using the option - force of Pacman.

When I boot my system restart as if nothing happened ... xD
