from:"P Nikolic"

Hi .

Just purchased several  SanDisk 4Gb Cruzer Blade USB flash drives  but
can not access any of them . the only error report i can find just says
 
An error occurred while accessing `3.7GiB Removable Media`, the system
responded: An unspecified error has occurred.: Not Authorized

This happens both as user or root  , any other non SanDisk flash drive
is fine  . I was hoping to put music on them for the car as the system
incar can only read 4 Gb Max drives these seemed ideal  look like they
may bee a bummer .

Any tips anyone ..


Pete .

 Notice that consolekit is no longer supported, and should be removed.
 To get the equivalent functionality you should just boot with systemd.
 I don't know if this is relevant to OP's problem though.

This is possible ..from what i have been reading not too sure  if i
have Systemd running or not  the system is fully updated  .

How do i check to see if it is systemd or not  sorry to sound fick but
got lots of other things on my mind as well right now ..

 It turned out they were formatted as EXFAT, he re-formatted as NTFS 
 all was ok for him.
 
 What are yours formatted as?
 
 Also I have had similar issue's in the past  just re-formatted to
 FAT  all was ok.


Hi Tom .

Been there using the laptop that is not as upto date  and completely
redid the partition and formatted one of them vfat  still the same on
this machine but ok on the laptop  .

I need to keep them vfat as they are actually for use in the car it
takes mp3's on usb drives (max 4Gb) and only read vfat (and only mp3
not ogg)

 You will not have been converted over automatically. See the wiki for
 how to do that.

 I guess running systemctl should tell you? If you are using systemd
 it will list a lot of running services. Otherwise I assume it will
 return a dbus error (but I haven't tried that myself, so only a
 guess).

Hi Tom ..

Right so a reply of  

Failed to get D-Bus connection: No connection to service manager

i take it means no  

I will start a new thread  i think to get systemd running ..

[arch-general] xf86-video ***

2012-10-14 Thread P .NIKOLIC


Hi .

What is the easiest way to stop pacman trying to update all the 
 xf86-video* drivers for cards i do not have  the system uses the 
xf86-video-nouveau driver perfectly well but tries to install sis ati
sirrus trident and more 

I know about adding files at the command line --exclude  and about
entering a list in pacman.conf  but is there a way that is quicker.


Ta .

  After the recent outbreaks, we have been discussing banning people

  calmed down and everything went back to normal, so there was no
  point in going forward with it. However, your name just made top of
  the list.
  
  If I see you interrupting one more technical discussion with trolls

  I will not see another one week flamewar on this list.
  
  You are a grown man (at least you look like one), so you should know
  that this kind of post adds nothing to the discussion, but starts
  yet another flamewar. Start acting like a grown man and keep it to
  yourself, unless you have something to say that's worth saying.
  
  I am completely against banning people, but at this point, it is
  either banning people or shutting down this list entirely.
 
 I would petition that he be fully banned from all arch lists, forum,
 irc, etc.

Makes me wonder if this list is populated by the same bunch we get on

For all it matters systemd completely refuses to boot for me do i care

Right then lets get back on thread here 

Still with this problem of mounted ro i have been doing a little bit of
messing  and the result is to say the very least strange and out there
somewhere .

Bring the box up init3   all drives mount ok  sda1 sda3  sda4 all
mount rw

bring the machine up with KDM  sda3 and sda4 both show ro but if i do
not actually log into KDE and Ctrl Alt F1 to a text prompt login as
root  mount shows all drives correctly mounted rw  the  Alt F7 log
into KDE then check and the drives have been re  mounted ro

Can someone explain that one cus i am up a gum tree the years i have
been running Linux (Almost since day 1) i have never seen anything like
this

 Pete,
 
I have run Arch on several filesystems and I've been lucky I
 guess. Currently on this box, I have ext3, ext4 and reiser (old SuSE
 10.0 partition). This box has been running since mid-2009 and updates
 are usually weekly (sometimes I go a couple of weeks if I can't risk
 a break due to workload) I have not had any of the mount ro weirdness
 even after several multi-gigabyte updates. The current partitions I
 have are:
 
 /dev/sdc5 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
 /dev/sdc7 on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
 /dev/sda2 on /mnt/pv type reiserfs (rw,relatime)
 /dev/sdb2 on /mnt/win type fuseblk 
 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096)
 
I don't know what is doing it in your case, but it seems like we
 should be able to figure out where mount ro/rw logic for the resides
 (I picture something like the following buried somewhere):
 
if [conditional]; then
  mount -o rw [whatever]
else
  mount -o ro [whatever]
fi
 
I suspect this may be complicated by the fact that mounting (or
 remounting) takes place in several different places/processes during
 the boot. Anybody familiar with this off-hand or any idea where Pete
 might look to rule-in or rule-out the different parts of boot that
 could effect this? Sorry I don't have more, I just haven't had the
 need to dissect the boot mount process to that level before...
 
I guess you are just lucky :)
 

Hi David

yes i am torn right now between it being either SATA related  or ext4
related both of which have caused me untold problems before  i have had
2 previous SATA drives die because of the insult of a data connection
causing crossed connections  and ext4 several problems in the old Suse
days  .

The laptop running exactly the same stuff (they are mirrors of each
other) but on XFS  and IDE is perfect 

I see a reinstall on the horizon worst luck

Hi Kevin


No i have not tried that yet  but i have found something  that seems to
point to an ext4 fs problem  . 

If i shut the machine down after it has been running ok  and all
mounted correctly rw  then reboot it will always come up dev/sda4
mounted ro, But if i boot from the latest arch cd  and fsck.ext4
both sda3 and sda4 it will reboot fine all mounted rw again .

I am getting no reports of disc problems at all  makes me think it is
both kernel and util-linux at fault as that is when it all started
when both were updated

 What is the output of blkid? I recall reading a similar problem on the
 forum (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=137255) where the
 problem was caused by an update to util-linux which had changed the
 uuid of the root partition so that the root could not be correctly
 remounted rw.
 
 Hope that helps.

Humm well still having the same problem i have tried using the older
version of util-linux to no avail

all disc ID's are correct  so what has been screwed up this was perfect
until the update  or am i going to be forced to re-install   not an
option i look forward to 

Pete .

 Please accept my apologies if this offends you or appears
 condescending to you in any way, I have been told by people that they
 perceive me as such at time. I assure you I mean no offence.
 
 Now that that is out of the way, let's get down to business.
 
 From the information you have given so far, you are able to boot up
 successfully, right? I do remember a glitch when upgrading a while ago
 that caused a similar issue. Until I found the solution, I just added
 mount / -orw,rebind in /etc/rc.local
 
 That caused my / partition to be rw as soon as the boot sequence is
 completed but still caused my some issues during the daemon start up.
 After a while I moved that line to /etc/rc.sysinit so it would execute
 before the daemons.
 
 Still a while later I discovered what the problem was, and I think it
 was in /etc/fstab, something really obvious, in hind sight but I
 cannot recall at the moment. Would you mind attaching your fstab?
 Maybe seeing it will trigger my memory.
 
 Andy

Hi Andy .


Dont worry about your reply  ideas and comments  you are the height of
politeness compared with some on the lists not just this one either  so
dont worry

I have compared this machine with the laptop that is similar processor
ect and same partitioning  layout  , i can see no difference between
the 2 apart from the actual UUID of the partitions  i will have a play
with some of those suggestions shortly see what happens .

I have a feeling it may well be related to the latest util-linux and a
another that was changed at the big update i did  .

Watch this space   .

Of course noone else will offer any assistance  will they  EH!  

Pete .

Most certainly not liked at all 
 in my view it makes an extremely valid case for distros to go their
 own way .

Red Hat many moons ago was a good distro  the last one i looked at was
pants as was Fedora  Suse was heading that way as well in fact from
what i hear still are that is why i switched to Arch  having tried
Slackware but found it too old  .

Before all this kicked up i had never heard of this Poettering person

 You just have to delete the files that show up as being in conflict

 I had the same problem, went to archlinux website and they say
 exactly what you need to do and why. You shouldn't toy with it
 yourself, nor use the --force option. Try this, if it doesn't work,
 they have an in-depth guide too.
 
 Otherwise I cannot stress out more the importance of reading the
 announcements whenever you're upgrading.
 


Been there done that still fails ...else i would not be trying to solve

Are these related and if so what has brought them about  

The only thing i can find on libhogweed  is to do with a gnome chat

 PulseAudio is more or less crap. It still doesn't support
 (semi-)professional audio cards.
 
 If you don't really need it's super-duper extra functions like
 gaplessly moving a stream from one sound card to another you better
 don't bother with PA. It rather makes things worse than better.
 
 I don't have a solution for the original question, because I don't use

 to disable the internal notebook speakers.
 
 Usually you can choose in every application which sound card to be
 used (sometimes in it's config files). I guess there are software
 mixers for every desktop environment which let you choose the sound
 card, which shall be used.
 
 Btw., isn't there a button on the notebook which can mute those
 speakers?

Talk about serious sour grapes  ..

I have 2 sound cards one internal  and a USB one with PA gives me a lot
less bother than ALSA did ..

 First, your /usr/bin/Xorg has been linked against an old libudev, so
 creating a symlink to a new library will inevitably cause breakage. I
 suggest reverting all changes while you can. Second, X is not a
 critical package and you shouldn't mess with udev just because X
 fails to launch.
 
 Regarging working versions, xorg-server 1.12.2 and systemd-tools
 184-2 work together just fine.
 
 Regarding mirrors, kernel.org and rutgers.edu are the ones which I use
 interchangeably since ~2009.

Since you  seem to be in snotty mode  that i neither asked for nor

If there is new stuff out there and it dont hit the UK mirrors i am in

I am trying this way round as i am chasing my tail up somewhere dark

I know the drive works perfectly i have just tried it with an old Suse

You just can't write? If you can mount but can't write, then you have
the wrong permissions on the drive and/or uid/gid mixups, depending on
how you want it set up.

See the Arch wiki. The ball's in your court here. What you read
depends on how you want to access the drive. SMB? NFS?

I have read the Arch Wiki till i am blue in the face already hence the
mail ..

mounting with SMB using the line below

mount -t cifs //192.168.0.154/backups -o /home/pete/nas/

After entering the password it mounts . mount reports ..

//192.168.0.154/backups on /home/pete/nas type cifs
(rw,relatime,sec=ntlm,unc=\\192.168.0.154\backups,
uid=0,username=root,noforceuid,gid=0,noforcegid,addr=192.168.0.154,unix,posixpaths,serverino,acl,rsize=1048576,wsize=65536,actimeo=1)

i can see one thing but cant alter it username=root but you can only
mount as root or using sudo as i have been unless of course you know
different.

I am trying this way round as i am chasing my tail up somewhere dark
and nasty right now .

I know the drive works perfectly i have just tried it with an old
Suse distro on the Laptop and instant read/write no problem now if
it can work on there why wont it work on Arch ..

Your description of the problem is much too vague. If you want help,
you ought to describe more specifically what you're trying to do, and
what is going wrong.

Hummm what am i trying to do Write to the drive and being told unable
to write file

Your description of the problem is much too vague Er what more
is there to tellit mounts i can read from it i am unable to write
to it .

 What protocols does the NAS support, and which of those you want to
 use? If you don't know about protocols, then tell us how do you
 expect it to work.
 

SMBand to be able to both read and write the device  as i used to
be able to do under suse  ( dont anyone even think of the go back to

How can i return full function to the findutils and locate  , It was
the best utility for the job and now has been eroded by the supposed

I want my old locate command back and working as it always used to

 the fuck, mlocate works fine here, it installs in /usr/bin/locate and

 same with findutils.
 
 actually you're not even posting error output or factual support like

yet i get zero file finds for any file name that i know is definately
on the system in a location that IS searchable

 Actually, no it's not.
 
 the header of mlocate.db is tested on configuration changes,
 described in [1]. Likely, configuration has changed with a recent
 update, so your problem would possibly have been fixed right after
 you looked into man mlocate.db
 
 I am just confused to find you never having had this problem
 before...?

 Are you explicitly loading dbus in /etc/rc.conf? If so where? In my setup
 (still kde3/Trinity) hal loads dbus, so I bring it up after network, but
 before bind:

 
 DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng network hal named @netfs @ntpd @sshd @dhcp4
 @crond @postfix @mysqld @dovecot @httpd @hylafax @samba @cupsd @sensors
 @upsd @spamd @saslauthd !kdm @avahi-daemon)

DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng dbus network samba netfs crond cupsd ntpd kdm)


 
 Your log above looks like you have powerdevel/kde4 loading (I presume kdm)
 almost immediately after network. You may want to try dbus earlier in the
 list. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Rc.conf
 
 snip other D-Bus messages

 What is loading powerdevil.backlighthelper? kdm? I don't run kde4 or kdm,
 but it looks like it wants dbus up and running.

That is a mighty good question it is a deaktop machine  i run 2 21 LCD

connected the other is on the DVI port

 I checked the cables many times, including the SATA ports used, the
 hard drive wouldn't work in any configuration.
 Thanks. (Solution found, get a new hard drive :) )

Hi   

Just a quick word from someone that has been through hel and back with SATA 
drives  get yourself some of the data cable that have a clip to hold them in 
place and even then use a blob of hot melt glue on each connector to stop it 
moving  i have has 2 drives fried by cheap data cables moving around in the 
connector .

It has got the be the worst design for a data connection i have ever seen 
there was some crap around but the SATA ones take the untimat  prize as the 
biggest junk ever designed

 /etc/rc.local is *NOT* started in the X session so it can not set X

 cron also doesn't start the jobs in the X session
 
 
 ~/.xinitrc is only started when running startx
 ~/.xsession is unfortunately not run by most login managers
 
 What you need is ~/.xprofile which is *sourced* by most login managers
 before running your *DE session.
 That's also a place to export some variables that are inherited in all
 your *DE applications.

Ok i have not had to restart the system yet so it is still on the manual xset 
command

 Hi Pete,
 
 you could always put settings like these into your $HOME/.xinitrc,
 that's where I have stored those settings.

 I don't think that kdm uses xinitrc by default. You'll have to make it
 use xinitrc. It supports xsession i think. Maybe try symlinking
 ~/.xsession to ~/.xinitrc.


Humm well that dont work either  .

think the easiest way is going to be get rid of KDM and use startkde or 
something   having looked at kdmrc i dont think i can stick it in there  this

 Have you tried putting it in /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup
 That should be the way to do it with kdm, at least according to this
