[SOLVED] Recent "pacman -Syu" update broke all my gtk applications!?

tasty_minerals · 2011-05-04 07:12:17

So, just several minutes ago I updated my system, the result of the update is that all my gtk or qt apps do not start, pouring an output of errors. Most of the errors start with, for example "shotwell":

** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GstObject)
(shotwell:1898): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: specified class size for type `IBusIMContext' is smaller than the parent type's `GtkIMContext' class size
*** glibc detected *** shotwell: corrupted double-linked list: 0x0000000001499840 ***

most have this *** glibc detected *** message and a lot of other dump stuff. As I simply do not know what to do to fix it, I decided to post it here. My hotkeys via xbindhotkeys also got molested, nothing works except "xterm" and window manager). Reinstall doesn't help.
Please help, I can't use arch now, when everything is so screwed.

As strange is sounds, I'd try a reboot first. Gnome3 introduces several new things, like a pulseaudio daemon, gconf settings daemon or whatever it is called, I got rid of them asap. Anyway, a clean start might help.

tasty_minerals · 2011-05-04 08:50:33

well, I did a reboot of course as all my apps went down just after initial update, so I rebooted to no avail. I don't use any gnome or kde stuff. I'm currently on dwm manager without any crap installed, just the apps I need in the first place, like "scite or medit editors, goldendict, terminal, pidgin, jumanji browser" and these all fail to start producing the very same mistake "*** glibc detected ***" and then like 50 lines with code. I think its useless to post it here. All I can understand is that all gtk stuff got broken somehopw. I thought somebody should have had such issues as long as this update is already out, or am I the only tester here, who was doing just fine one month with arch and then decided to run a should-be-banned-forever "pacman -Syu" command?

If the issue is my particular-system-based only, the only option I can bring to the table is reinstall, but why do I need arch then? I understand that one need to be a much more sophisticated linux user to run arch, but I can't say I'm a complete newbie. Or should arch user-wannabies be warned that it is a "try at your own risk distro!" instead of pushing it forward as a "Keep It Simple and uncluttered" with all other nice words?))) What am I to do now, with just a happy new kernel and xterm smiling at me? I know -- I should just stick to functional stable linux releases like Mr.Ubuntu instead of running a minefield with arch, but I still feel like I can learn much more with arch, so does anybody have any ideas or suggestions?

Obviously, you're frustrated but with an attitude like that... Anyway, can you post exactly what you updated. Is it possible that you installed gtk3? I'm just guessing, but I thought maybe it was a similar situation to python3 where you need to point your apps to gtk2? Maybe someone else would know. I haven't had any issues.

SanskritFritz · 2011-05-04 09:31:47

Well, check you partitions for errors, maybe a file got corrupted.

tasty_minerals · 2011-05-04 09:34:49

so I guess you're right, maybe its all gtk3, nevertheless here is my output of "terminal" command:
the output is just the same with such as "scite, medit etc." only some minor differences

(terminal:1500): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: specified class size for type `IBusIMContext' is smaller than the parent type's `GtkIMContext' class size

I'm sorry to newbie rant over this again and again, but if it is a gtk3 to be the reason, then why do dear maintainers not warn users about this kind of stuff anyway? How should I work if I had one arch installed on my system without any backup PC? What would I do if I hadn't a backup pc? Thats very disappointing.

hmm, I guess that should not be an issue, as long as I finished all sessions clearly, but ok, I will check it.

Just to be sure, do you have anything on hold in /etc/pacman.conf? ("IgnorePkg")

Oh, I see your error message talks about "IBus"... I don't know what that is, but there was a thread about it, and I think the advice was to rebuild it. Yep, see here.

Edit: I see that the ibus package is orphan now.

Yes I do have "ibus", for chinese input. Yes, I guess it is sneaky ibus.
Thank you, I will recompile ibus then later today and report.

removing "ibus" solves this, but just reinstalling ibus, doesn't help, so this can be partly solved, I'll try to stick to "scim".
