General Linux Chat and Small Questions v. I broke my Arch Install - Hardware & Software

[QUOTE=COBRAa;40875857]Still getting "Could not load library client (Unknown Error)"...[/QUOTE] Yes, you need the 32bit version of gconf2, not gconf.

Downloading for over an hour and I'm at 25% :v: Might just wait for someone else to put up a beta server, especially since I can't actually host over the internet.

Ok, trying to run the dedicated server and I get: [code]Couldn't locate library [lua_shared_srv] or couldn't find module [LUASHARED003][/code] "ldd garrysmod/bin/lua_shared_srv.so" shows that libsteam_srv.so is missing. I'm going to install the TF2 server to see if there's a copy there. EDIT: Damn I love valve's servers. Only took my 9 minutes to download TF2.

Let's move the discussions to [url]https://github.com/Facepunch/garrysmod-issues/issues[/url] so we have a record of it.

No luck with TF2, I can't find libsteam_srv.so. I've made a report on github about it. [editline]2nd June 2013[/editline] I got a server running! Join my at 97.83.20.99 [editline]2nd June 2013[/editline] =( no one wants to join?

Dropped Jsk2003 from server (Client left game (Steam auth ticket has been canceled)) Was that any of you?

I didn't see it was up. If so I wouldn't have slept. Is it still up? If so I'll totally join. [editline]Gah[/editline] Lonliest server ever, 0/10. I'm going to build something. Alone. [editline]3rd June 2013[/editline] [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/8noH6B5.jpg[/thumb] I'm off.

I didn't see the IP you posted either... I'll be back sometime tomorrow afternoon, though.

[highlight]News for anyone using Archlinux:[/highlight] [url]https://www.archlinux.org/news/binaries-move-to-usrbin-requiring-update-intervention/[/url] [quote] [b]Binaries move to /usr/bin requiring update intervention[/b] 2013-06-03 - Allan McRae During your next update, you will get a error message like: error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) filesystem: /bin exists in filesystem The update merges all binaries into a unified /usr/bin directory. This step removes a distinction that has been meaningless for Arch systems and simplifies package maintenance for the development team. See this post for more explanation of the reasoning behind this change. The following instructions will ensure a safe update: 1) Fix any non-official packages with files in /bin, /sbin or /usr/sbin to put those files in /usr/bin. The list of packages that are not in a repo that need to be fixed can be generated using: $ pacman -Qqo /bin /sbin /usr/sbin | pacman -Qm - Also check packages installed from non-official repos using: $ paclist <repo> | awk ' { print $1 } ' | pacman -Ql - | grep ' /s\?bin/\| /usr/sbin/' 2) Make sure any packages in IgnorePkg or IgnoreGroup do not have files in /bin, /sbin, or /usr/sbin. Fix them if necessary. 3) If you have files in /bin, /sbin or /usr/sbin that are unowned by any package, you need to move them. Find a list using: $ find /bin /sbin /usr/sbin -exec pacman -Qo -- {} + >/dev/null 4) Ensure all partitions are mounted if using autofs. They may not automount when needed later in this update. 5) Update your system. Before performing this update, you may want to ensure you have a second terminal open with root privileges in the unlikely event of an emergency, particularly if updating over ssh. # pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem,bash # pacman -S bash # pacman -Su [/quote] [editline]3rd June 2013[/editline] its happening again!

If you don't do it you'll be fucked!

[QUOTE=FPtje;40886974]If you don't do it you'll be fucked![/QUOTE] just don't force a pacman update by issuing [code] pacman -Syu --force [/code] I did it once, and it was awful. [editline]3rd June 2013[/editline] Makes me kinda happy that I used Debian 7 instead of Arch on my VPS. atleast I don't have to bother fixing such things.

Yeah I just did a distro update from Mint 14 to 15. It took a while, but I really can't be arsed to flash a Usb drive, make a backup, reinstall, restore backup and get all the settings right again. Just a few APT commands and shit was fixed. [editline]3rd June 2013[/editline] I can't get GMod to work (Could not load library client (Unknown error)). Lib32-gconf does [b]not[/b] exist in the repositories. What to do?

I'm not interested in a nuked system due to a combination of retarded maintainer decisions and a blunder from my side.

So they're getting rid of the /bin/ and /sbin/ directories? I basically just did a fresh install, and the only unofficial packages I have would be yaourt, so this shouldn't be too difficult.

There's a perfectly fine rationale explaining why things are happening like this, linked in the news post.

[QUOTE=Jookia;40888475]Whoa hold your horses. There's a perfectly fine rationale explaining why things are happening like this, linked in the news post.[/QUOTE] Just as rational as Stallman's rants IE: not very much.

[QUOTE=Van-man;40887604]It's shit like this that makes Arch iffy to me.

[QUOTE=kaukassus;40888695]They could atleast release all the update breaking stuff at the same time, instead like every month.[/QUOTE]I've been using Arch for like a year on and off now in a server and on my desktop and I never really had to do anything beyond pacman -Syu. That pretty much covered everything just fine.

What the hell was wrong with sbin? I mean if you want to move /bin and /sbin into their respective /usr subdirs then go right ahead, but i liked having sbin for keeping root-only programs separated from user programs.

[QUOTE=Terin7;40888770]I've been using Arch for like a year on and off now in a server and on my desktop and I never really had to do anything beyond pacman -Syu. That pretty much covered everything just fine.[/QUOTE] there was a pause of like half a year now. the last thing was something about the /lib folder.

I'm currently downloading the aforementioned dreaded arch update. Wish me luck.

[QUOTE=Van-man;40887604]It's shit like this that makes Arch iffy to me. I'm not interested in a nuked system due to a combination of retarded maintainer decisions and a blunder from my side.[/QUOTE] But as the post describes, you'll get an error pertaining to top-level directories if you just try to -Syu, in which case common sense should tell you to go on archlinux.org anyway. [editline]4th June 2013[/editline] The Fedora project is apparently doing a similar /usr move currently as well.

Looks like I survived. As much as all these migrations can be a pain in the ass. I do think that they are for the greater good. Essentially arch is moving away from old deprecated shit that lingers in the linux ecosystem. The move to systemd was a royal bitch, but when it was done everyone was a little closer to the modern world.

Finally got around to wiping out the tiny Windows 7 partition on my laptop and replaced it with Xubuntu. Dualbooting with Windows 8 seems to work pretty well. Everything seems to work out of the box, which is a first for desktop Linux in my experience. It also boots in about 16 seconds, which is a little slower than Windows 8, though it's not exactly a fair comparison since 8 does a partial hibernate.

Is there any alternative (and better) solution to ffmpeg for streaming to twitch.tv on Linux? I'm not asking for multi video inputs and epic customization like XSplit, just something that doesn't make the stream SOUND like I'm streaming my toaster.

Anyone here use [url=http://fishshell.com/]Fish[/url]? Someone mentioned it on FP a couple weeks ago and I've been hooked ever since. I'm a web developer so it had me at "web based config" but it's a fantastic shell all around.

I'm a web developer so it had me at "web based config" but it's a fantastic shell all around.[/QUOTE] Its a pretty good shell, but when I last used it, it was missing quite some configuration options.

I used it for a little while, but I didn't like how the configuration was done so I switched back to zsh. I was able to find zsh extensions for my favorite parts though.

Fantastic font rendering for Arch users: [url]https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=162098[/url] Never realized how bad my fonts looked until I installed this. I highly recommend trying it out.
