strange poblems after update... slow boot, corrupted files etc

hosage · 2010-10-14 20:08:31

Today i figured out that the boot was taking too long compared with previous bootings, though it was odd, but i ignored it.
Few hours later i found out that the keyboard configuration changed, but though that it was a minor problem until i tried to open a .odt file with OpenOffice and it gave me a corruption message, and the repair attempt didnt work.
Same happened with all the .odt files that tried to open and the .ods ones gave me something even stranger, "unable to open, the file has been marked protected by Unknown User and can not be edited", and the "open a copy" attemp kicked me back to the corruption message.

So, i made a pacman -U kernel2.6.35~ (a previous .35) and to an old OpenOffice, the image was build and all that stuff, but after rebooting, all the poblems continued.

Any idea of what is going on?

btw, i tried with a previous .35 kernel because ndiswrapper needed it and pacman gave me an error when trying to go back to a .34, tough that pacman was going to calculate the new depedencies and downgrade everything that needed it (thats what the wiki says xd) but it didnt.

as last fact, files that doesnt need to open with OO works perfect.

sorry for all the missing signs, but i still dont fix the keyboard

thanks for the help guys

Dmesg? kernel.log?

hosage · 2010-10-14 22:57:40

cat /var/log/kernel.log | grep error

Oct 12 00:54:21 localhost kernel: chromium[16462]: segfault at 5e24e1a7 ip 5e24e1a7 sp 5e24e1a7 error 4
Oct 12 09:42:59 localhost kernel: sky2 0000:09:00.0: eth0: rx error, status 0x5e267a length 94

cat /var/log/dmesg.log | grep error returns nothing.

the problems didnt started until today, so i dont think those on kernel.log are the cause.

a while ago i figured out that videos from youtube and other video sites are not loading and the UI reboot and power down are not working (console halt and reboot works perfect)

Longer boot time than usual + weird errors, I would boot from a live CD and try a fsck (never done this before though.)

Also you might want to try "grep -i error" to catch stuff like "Error" and "ERROR".

hosage · 2010-10-15 20:16:41

just did the grep -i and got a lot of this

Did you upgrade or install anything else except the kernel and OO since the last boot? That would be the most logical place to start.

Other than that try my log checking script to search for 'error/fail/not found' and stuff like that in the system logs.

If it is only OO you could use strace to get debug info, though it will give a huge amount of data to sift through:

strace -Ff -tt <program> <arguments> 2>&1 | tee errorlog.log

just tried you log checker and its amazing the amount of errors and missing stuff that i got, many of them are repetitions of the same error, but its still pretty intimidating.

here goes the output separated by log

Thanks for your script rwd, i will later try that strace thing

i hope someone can see a possible cause for the weird stuff thats attacking me.

i will later go into some of the many errors that are arround who knows... maybe the fix come with the elimination of some of them

Update:
Today i made a pacman -Syu and guess what! The weird computer performance just... stopped, there are no corrupt files warnings or bad keyboard configuration, it just working like in the old times.

There was several updates (including an OO update), and i'm not sure of wich one fixed it, but it's fixed!. Tonight i will check the logs with rwd's script again, to compare it with the previous result and try to figure out what happened, buy i think it's just some kind of random strange bug in one of the packages that were updated today.

But there was also a programed disk check in today's boot. i'm not sure if this was the fix...

well, that is, thanks a lot to everyone who helped.

Hello again guys.

After some time with a perfect working arch, like 1-2 months ago, the same weird problems attacked again after an update, this time, with more strange stuff, like a change of screen resolution and chromium not working (other browsers works perfect, except for the flash plugin)
I have been using other partitions for updating arch constantly waiting for a new magical update that will fix it all, but so far... nothing.

So, again, someone have any idea of what is going on?
As far as i remember, the -Syu update that fixed the problems the first time included an OpenOffice update, but when the problems showed up again, the first thing that i tried was a downgrade for OO and it didn't work.

Thanks

Arch Linux
