Network Manager issues [Solved]

kiwiapple87 · 2016-12-15 15:27:56

Did an update awhile back and since then when I try to run nmcli dev to see my network devices I get the error

nmcli: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libnm.so.o: file too short

. Also when I try to start NetworkManager.service the systemctl status NetworkManager.service command shows me that

NetworkManager.service: failed with result 'exit-code' " "code=exited, status=127"

.

And I use urxvt as my terminal and it is not longer pulling from the Xresources file.

During the update I was thrown out of my DE and into the live boot environment. But on a reboot booted into DE just fine but with the above issues.

I tried booting into a live CD environment connecting to my wifi with 'wifi-menu' and mounting and chrooting into the arch partition and running

 sudo pacman -Syu

. When I do this it went through the update process seemingly fine. Until it started to install the packages. Then a blur of text passed the screen and the message 'There were errors. No packages were upgraded'. When I try to update again it shows that core, extra, community, and multilib are up to date. But when I boot into my normal DE I am still getting the above issues.

Command: nmcli dev

nmcli: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libnm.so.0: file too short

Command: systemctl start NetworkManager.service

Job for NetworkManager.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status NetworkManager.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details

I am out of ideas to try next. Any help or insight on my next step would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

What are the output of ls -l /usr/lib/libnm-glib* ?

kiwiapple87 · 2016-12-15 16:29:54

Here is a pic of the output https://goo.gl/photos/5kG8r1eXabAmqzbg8

Yeah. Here are the relevant lines from mine.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     19 Nov  7 11:10 /usr/lib/libnm-glib.so -> libnm-glib.so.4.9.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     19 Nov  7 11:10 /usr/lib/libnm-glib.so.4 -> libnm-glib.so.4.9.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 276600 Nov  7 11:10 /usr/lib/libnm-glib.so.4.9.0

look at your last line. 0 bytes. It should be 276600.

Reinstall libnm-glib
Looks like you've the same problem with libnm-vpn

Without being able to connect to the Internet how can I reinstall it?

Slithery · 2016-12-15 16:55:26

Follow the steps in the wiki to connect manually without using Network Manager.

Edit - The packages should still be available in /var/cache/pacman unless you've deleted them. No need for a network connection.

I didn't have that package in the cache so I connected manually and tried to upgrade Network Manager. Now when I run the nmcli command I get this error

nmcli: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.7: cannot open shared object file : No such file or directory

So its a bit of progress.

Also when I try to run

 # pacman -Syu

it gives me an error saying that no packages were upgraded. Pic https://goo.gl/photos/uNeyU8WsirkecEXS9

Please don't post images of text, post the actual text...

Chroot in and run a full upgrade.

kiwiapple87 · 2016-12-15 18:50:46

My apologies I won't post pictures of text anymore.

Why would I Chroot in now that I have internet access within the normal environment?

I assumed you were stuck on the readline update, because I refuse to open images of text.

No it was a different error initially. Then once I was able to get internet access in my normal DE I was able to update Network Manager with pacman but now I get the readline error.

Also, when I try to run a system update I get the following issue.

...
oxygen-icons: /usr/share/icons/oxygen/base/8x8/emblems/vcs-locally-modified-unstaged.png exists in filesystem
oxygen-icons: /usr/share/icons/oxygen/base/8x8/emblems/vcs-locally-modified.png exists in filesystem

oxygen-icons: /usr/share/icons/oxygen/base/8x8/places/folder-activities.png exists in filesystem
oxygen-icons: /usr/share/icons/oxygen/index.theme exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

How do I figure out what those errors are?

Also when I try to open Chromium though the Default web browser I am getting an error saying "Failed to execute default web browser Input/Output error". But when I try to open it by navigating through the application menu's and open it nothing happens. No errors just nothing.

So I tried to install Firefox and this appeared at the end. And when I try to open firefox nothing happens as well.

So should I to a forced upgrade of the system? The number of files that are saying "exists in filesystem" is larger than what can be displayed on the CLI.

jasonwryan · 2016-12-15 22:01:37

No, it specifically says do a forced upgrade only for a single file. Remove the offending files and then upgrade properly.

kiwiapple87 · 2016-12-15 22:11:36

I'm sorry. I seem to be missing something. How do I figure out which are the offending files? Is it every file that has the "exists in filesystem"?
