File called '2.6.26' in home dir.

Sjoden · 2008-06-11 00:12:29

I'm not sure how long its been here, I think since yesterday, maybe the day before. But I have an empty file called '2.6.26' sitting in my home directory, /home/zack/. It is readable by users, but owned by root. Did 'Something Bad' happen to my system, or maybe it was a kernel upgrade?

Idk..

[zack@boxxy ~]$ pacman -Q | grep kernel
kernel-headers 2.6.24.3-1
kernel26 2.6.25.4-1
[zack@boxxy ~]$

[root@boxxy zack]# pacman -Q | grep filesystem
filesystem 2008.03-2
[root@boxxy zack]#

I just did a pacman -Syu so I am up to date.

Same here.

$ ls -la 2.6.26 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0  9. Jun 00:19 2.6.26

I deleted it, but it came back.

Try doing 'pacman -Qo 2.6.26' to find out which package owns it..

I have the same kernel/kernel-header version installed but no such file exists in my home.

Mimi · 2008-06-11 20:39:32

# pacman -Qo 2.6.26
Fehler: Kein Paket besitzt 2.6.26

Um, something like "error: no package owns 2.6.26".

I don't know if pm-utils or uswsusp creates it when suspending, but it's there again when system is resumed.

Mimi · 2008-06-11 22:08:32

I recently tested suspend, maybe that's why this file appeared suddenly and was not there before.

Heh, just the other day I tried pm-hibernate.

The log files say it hibernated correctly, but after that they are blank. Booting it back up was a normal bootup, didn't remember I was logged in, or what programs were open or anything.

I've got it too . Still no ideas?

Sjoden · 2008-06-12 16:22:12

Have you done anything with pm-utils, like sleep, suspend, or hibernate?

Llama · 2008-06-12 17:17:12

Possibly. A couple of uneventful experiments with hibernation several days ago. Before the last system upgrade, IIRC.

timetrap · 2008-06-12 18:07:11

I have the same file. It seems to move around a little bit though . . . I found it in another directory that I was working in.

Sjoden · 2008-06-12 18:14:21

I got the file after trying pm-hibernate. I guess pm-utils is what is causing this, maybe it happens because of a failure? Maybe failing to come up correctly, idk.

There are no error messages. It seems like the file is created while suspending.

same here. So, we are waiting for an update of the pm-utils package ?

I'm afraid pacman doesn't do relative paths when you ask it to query for file ownership.

pacman -Qo /path/to/wherever/2.6.26/is/at

is a lot more useful, that way it actually knows what file you are trying to query and it can filter through its database.

Pacman has super cow powers, too.

$ cd /usr/share/gnuplot/
$ ls
4.2  gnuplot.gih
$ pacman -Qo gnuplot.gih
gnuplot.gih ist in gnuplot 4.2.3-1 enthalten

Oh no, i'll miss the file!

.:B:. · 2008-07-16 19:15:53

Edit: it only works if you are in the dir itself where the file is present. So not that much 'super cow powers' if you ask me.

Specifying the path gives you what you need, and it's not that big a hassle to do so.
