Notice that State=closing. That means some process is still running which was started under that session. The old session will be removed when all processes in it exit. Run "systemd-cgls" to see what these processes are.

[arch-general] Kernel 3.6.x panic
Hello! I have upgraded a system from Linux 3.5.6 to 3.6.4, and now I get a kernel panic on boot. It's an i686 system. I have tried to download to 3.6.3 and 3.6.2, and they also panic. 3.5.6 boots fine, but I had to remove nvidia and virtualbox. Then upgraded again to 3.6.4, got the kernel panic, and downgraded again (just to discard nvidia or virtualbox) I don't know how to solve this. Messages in screen seem to be related to scsi. I have removed an Adaptec card, but it makes no difference. I can't get (or can't find) a log, but there are things like: Oops: [#2] PREEMPT SMP Process scsi_eh_2 (pid: 57, ...

[arch-general] GDM is unable to choose language
Hello, list! After the recent upgrade to GNOME 3.6 I've been having weird characters in the gnome-terminal. For example, if I run "pstree" the tree lines are all changed into . After some debugging I traced the problem to a bogus GDM_LANG value (en_GB.utf8) passed to the session launcher by GDM. The curious thing is that the GDM greeter doesn't show any control to choose the language... it's making it up! That locale doesn't even exist in my machine. Now, I can change the LANG variable back to a sane value in a "/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/01-fix-language" script, but that is just a hack. So, two questions remains: 1. Doesn't the GDM greeter have a language chooser any more? 2. From where is GDM reading the GDM_LANG value? Thank you in advance. -- Rodrigo.

Hi. I've a system where there's a harddisk encrypted with luks and a lvm pv over it, used for backup. This disk is never removed or inserted while system is online, but not in every boot up it's present. Setting this volume in crypttab, when disk is absent, cryptsetup service hangs for several seconds, before timing out and allowing systemd to complete boot. There's any way of avoiding this, may be putting it to background, or something like this? Thanks, signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
[arch-general] unable to boot up
Hey Archers, my issue begins with me trying to patch vmware for 3.6.3-1-arch I tried using vmware & this told me the modules were not present for 3.6.3 so I went to grab latest from AUR (vmware-patch), the comments on there suggested that the ones for 3.5.x still worked but needed to be rebuilt. so I read these instructions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VM … stallation I noticed that in the finishing up section it gave a warning that if I update the kernel need too issue the following: vmware-modconfig --console --install-all so I ran this & tried to run vmplayer this opened but crashed as soon as i tried to play a VM, I then decided that as I had not used it for some time I would just remove it: vmware-installer --uninstall-product vmware-player this finished & so I ran: pacman -R vmware-patch all was ok (so I thought) a while later I had to reboot to do something in my win7 install (non volatile) upon completing I rebooted back to arch & now my install refuses to boot & I see: Failed to start load Kernel Modules [FAILED] see 'systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service' for details obviously systemd fall's over & offers to enter password or control-D to continue well the system refuses to go any further & locks up totally (no flashing kbd lights like a panic though!) the exact same happens when I boot the fallback kernel I can chroot into it using the old media (CORE 2011.08.19) which is the most recent I have, whilst chrooted in I thought perhaps the old vmware modules did not get removed correctly so I blacklisted them in: /etc/modprobe.d/vmware.conf blacklist vmmon [...] I have managed to get into the system using the following boot parameter: systemd.unit=rescue.target I then ran: systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service this provided the default message about the service not starting but no reason why or what caused it to fail So any advice or way forward would be appreciated as I am totally lost & have googled everything I can think of which may help but this is the first time I have b0rk3d the modules & am lost as to what to do. -- Regards Thomas Rand
[arch-general] SystemD: Is there a way to disable PrivateTmp globally?
Hi, Is there a way to disable Private Tmp globally? I know I can disable it by copying all the affected unit files to /etc/systemd and removing it there but is there a way to disable it once and for all? The reasons I want to disable it are: - I don't need it: this is a single user machine that sits behind a firewall and doesn't run any publicly available servers, so the security issues that private tmp solves are not important for this machine; - I want to know where the files are, and I especially do not want them in a tmpfs. According to the docs I was able to find, private tmp is implemented using "kernel namespace" but that tells me nothing about where the data is stored; - I want to be able to access those files for debugging purposes. For example, I have some custom Apache modules that dump debug information to files in /tmp and I need to be able to access them. However, I haven't found any way to access the private tmp of a service, even as root.

Thanks. So if I understand correctly, it is useful for programs that output 8 bit characters that are not valid UTF-8 sequences and serves to convert their output into valid unicode for display, right? No, some console fonts don't have a Unicode map, so they're essentially an index -> glyph file where index is from 0-255. A unicode map adds a "Unicode Code Point -> index" mapping. Most fonts in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts should have bult-in maps (haven't checked though). For those that don't have it, there's the -m option in setfont or FONT_MAP. Without an unicode map, you must make sure the loaded font has the same layout as the charset you're using. Without the unicode map you can't use utf8 -- дамјан
[arch-general] shorewall-init
Hi all, Does anyone know if the shorewall-init feature of shorewall (to deal better with interfaces going up and down) has been packaged somehow? I'm not seeing any indication of the associated configuration files, although the shorewall- init manpage exists. See the following for more info: http://www.shorewall.net/Shorewall-init.html Paul

Just to be sure and as "in testing" can lead to some confusion... This has
been enabled in 2.02.98-2?

[arch-general] What is FONT_MAP for?
Hi, I've looked in the wiki, but I cannot find what FONT_MAP is for. This wiki page seems to confuse it with the keymap: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fonts#Console_fonts since it says "Now, set the proper keymap, [...]: FONT_MAP=...". However, I thought the keymap was configured with "KEYMAP=...". My system appears to work with: KEYMAP="fr-latin1" FONT="ter-122b" FONT_MAP="" I can't type accented characters in the console (neither the text consoles F1-F6, nor the X terminals like urxvt or konsole) but those characters are displayed fine when I cat a UTF-8 file. Not a big issue, just curious. So what is FONT_MAP for?

Yes, great work thank you. Two laptops, no problems, and my old slow netbook is booting like a champ.

I have heard that sabayon is slow, i don't know if that's true or not. Also, If one needs to compile a few packages such as we do from the abs, should portage be used?, since it isn't generally advised to mix binary packages and portage. Also, have you tried calculate linux? In any case i don't know why anyone would leave arch and want to use systemd on sabayon :P
