This will only make pacman recognize packages contained in base and base-devel when you're booting back into your system but at least pacman will be working again. -- Sven-Hendrik Hello Sven Thanks for your reply. I did what you suggested. I bootet the Arch linux live cd, removed the old databse, installed base and base-devel, copied the resulting db and rebooting. After readding users, adapting rc.conf and another reboot, I was able to log in. Now pacman -Syu works without errors (However has nothing to update at the moment, so I cant really tell). However I also saved a complete list of packages before doing the live-cd thing, in order to restore them now. Unfortunatelly I once again ran into the problem. Many packages work just fine, however a pacman -S pulseaudio segfaults again, with the already known error message. Therefore I assumed it had something to do with my package cache. I did a pacman -Scc However no success. Still getting the segfault. Is there any other place pacman keeps information about packages like pulseaudio? Any ideas what I could do? Anyone having any idea, what the problem might be? Again every hint is very appreciated. Thanks Benedikt Ok, I nearly managed to restore all packages, however the following packages cause the segfault: gstreamer0.10-pulse lib32-pulseaudio libquicktime pavucontrol pavumeter pulseaudio ttf-liberation Interestingly the installation via pacman -fU URL succeeds and with pacman -fS PACKAGE fails. Is there some debugging version of pacman? For use with gdb to track down the problem. Or do I have to compile it from source and if so, what flags do I have to set? Thanks Benedikt
[arch-general] pacman segfault problem

I wanted to find out ruffly how much memory Arch sixty four will use for any program in general, regardless of GUI/console? i really don't think there is a way to answer this. i'm not an expert on hardware, but 64bit applies to the CPU, nothing else. a larger bottom level cache allows the CPU to view/consume more data/bits at once, and to perform better on precision mathematics like heavy floating point operations. i don't see it having much-to-any effect on RAM usage, but again maybe i'm missing something and then someone will surely correct me :-) On a 64 bit machine, in « char *p; », p will use 64 bits (8 bytes), instead of 4 bytes in a 32 bits machine [I'm talking about p, not about *p which doesn't look like it exists]. Gary Wright seems to be saying that the impact is negligible. Nicky726 seems to be saying that there is a difference of up to 80%. I am surprised by such a claim, but there seems to be anecdotes on Google of people seeing the same thing. As I don't have a 64 bits machine, I can't test for myself. This is really strange. I am running a 64 bit system and after a fresh start (Including gnome, pulseaudio, dropbox, rhythmbox,uget,transmission) it consumes between 700 and 800MB ram. I never noticed any increase in ram usage between 32bit and 64bit (Have been running a 32bit version of another distro before). Therefore I would suggest you using 64bit. Greetings Benedikt
Re: [arch-general] PulseAudio package group
Hi Since I am just a comperativly inexperienced user, it took me some time to get pulseaudio working (Digging the forum to change the asound.conf, getting vlc to work with pulse by the aur-package). I think it would be great having a package group, with which I could install all this stuff at once, alongside with the necessary configuration (asound.conf). However I can't really assess the packaging problems, so if this isn't possible, bad luck. But I would really appreciate it. Thanks Benedikt On Wed, 2010-05-19 at 00:25 +0200, Jan Steffens wrote: I could make PulseAudio installation significantly easier by putting specially-built packages (e.g. sdl-pulse, openal-pulse) into [community] and grouping them in a pulse group. This group would also include a pulse-asoundrc package containing a pulse-configured asound.conf, as well as depending on alsa-plugins. Should I go ahead with this? Any suggestions?
Re: [arch-general] Arch shutdown because of firefox
On Tue, 2010-05-11 at 11:14 +0800, Handsome Cheung wrote: hi all, I am a newbie for ArchLinux. My computer often shuts down suddenly when I browse web site. It brings me to TTY and said The system is going down for system halt NOW!. I found that is because of the crash of flash plugin of firefox. And my question is why the crash of firefox can cause my computer shuts down? PS. my system environment: Arch + awesome, no DE. Thanks! hc Hi, Well it seesm like you are not the only one with this problem. I think I experience the same, although with a slightly different setup and therefore alternate consequences. I am running gnome on my 32bit Arch Linux machine, with a ati graphics-card. Sometimes firefox crashes and gnome restarts. No complete shutdown in my case, but I have to login again. However this only happens with the flash-plugin being enabled. Unfortunately I wasn't able to reproduce the problem, it occurs without any pattern (At least none which I could discover). However, i therefore installed flashblock on firefox. Since then I havn't experienced this problem again. Therefore I think that your shutdown (my gnome restart) is definitly caused by flashplugin+firefox itself. Overheating or strange scripts, aren't the problem in my case (I am sure, since it is a pretty standard install and the temps are ok). Currently I was waiting for the next update to eventually fix the problem (since I can live without flash). But eventually someone has some clues of how to troubleshoot this (Is there any firefox stacktrace???). Thanks, any advice is appreciated Benedikt
