 Posted: Mon Oct 13, 2014 4:33 am Post subject: Samsung Tools fails to start. |
 |
|
I am getting the following errors on boot.
| Quote: | | 185: * ERROR: samsung-tools failed to start |
| Quote: | | 270: * ERROR: samsung-tools failed to star |
samsung-tools is in my rc as "boot".
rc.log can be found here:
| Code: | $ cat /var/log/rc.log |wgetpaste
Your paste can be seen here:[url] https://bpaste.net/show/ec13558e5164[/url] |
Thanks.

What run level is dbus in? The usual location, if I have it right is default runlevel, samsung tools needs dbus, boot is before default. As all samsung-tools does is start/stop bluetooth and wireless suggest move samsung-tools to default runlevel. the /etc/init.d/samsung-tools script seems rudimentary and probably returns an error vice going to a wait.
niggling comments follow: putting a url inside code or quote tags turns it into plain text instead of a url in the display as shown below code vs quote vs no tags: | Code: | | https://bpaste.net/show/ec13558e5164 |
| Quote: | | https://bpaste.net/show/ec13558e5164 |
https://bpaste.net/show/ec13558e5164
Putting the url inside url tags has no effect inside code tags; restores link ability (no underline displayed) inside quote tags; makes the url into a plaintext link to the url (no underline displayed) if not inside other tags.
| Code: | | [url]https://bpaste.net/show/ec13558e5164[/url] |
https://bpaste.net/show/ec13558e5164
The url tag can be used to create meaningful plaintext that links to a gibberish url as in: my rc.log is posted here.
Which would look like | Code: | | [url=https://bpaste.net/show/ec13558e5164]my rc.log is posted here.[/url] |
when being typed in. Note the = replaces the ] and the ] moves to the end of the url and is followed by the plaintext.
| Code: | | cat /var/log/rc.log |wgetpaste |
can be replaced by | Code: | | wgetpaste /var/log/rc.log |

dbus is in default. For some reason I can't change samsung-tools from boot to default. If I try to do it with eselect rc it just kicks back
| Quote: | Adding samsung-tools to following runlevels
default [skipped] |
It won't let me delete from runlevels either so I uninstalled Samsung-Tools, removed from runlevels, re-emerged and the behaviour is the same. Any idea what is going on?
I also can't launch the Samsung Tools preferences dialogue. It crashes.
If all samsung-tools does is start/stop Bluetooth and wireless do I really need it at all? I never had a problem with either of those without it. I was trying to use it because I thought it also handled some ACPI stuff and more importantly thought I could control Function keys and keyboard back-light etc with it as well. Currently neither work fully.
Comments about syntax in posts noted. Thanks. I wasn't ware of that. I was only doing it that way for readability...or so I thought. |

I used:
fx8150 ~ # rc-update del samsung-tools boot
* service samsung-tools removed from runlevel boot
fx8150 ~ # rc-update add samsung-tools default
* service samsung-tools added to runlevel default
But I do not have a samsung laptop
If rc-update also fails, what happens if after boot to cli and login as root you run | Code: | | /etc/init.d/samsung-tools restart |
further examination of /etc/samsung-tools/*.conf files and the ebuild and the distfile package shows it should do many of the things you were looking for | Quote: | | I was trying to use it because I thought it also handled some ACPI stuff and more importantly thought I could control Function keys and keyboard back-light etc with it as well.

OK. rc-update did the trick adding it to the "default" runlevel. Not sure why eselect can't do it. Should I report it as a bug?
However, if I execute | Code: | | /etc/init.d/samsung-tools restart |
it kicks out the following error:
| Quote: | # /etc/init.d/samsung-tools restart
* Setting up samsung-tools ...
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 [ !! ]
* ERROR: samsung-tools failed to start |
This is the same error I was seeing in the rc.log from the get go. I've googled the error but can't really find anything specific. However, if I look for just | Quote: | | launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 |
I see an occasional post but all related to systemd which makes me nervous as my box is systemd'less.
Any ideas? |

This appears (no samsung laptop here) to work to get the newest version installed: | Code: | emerge --deselect samsung-tools
cp /usr/portage/app-laptop/samsung-tools/samsung-tools-2.1.ebuild /usr/portage/app-laptop/samsung-tools/samsung-tools-2.3.1.ebuild
ebuild /usr/portage/app-laptop/samsung-tools/samsung-tools-2.3.1.ebuild manifest
eselect python set python2_7
PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7" emerge -1 samsung-tools
/etc/init.d/samsung-tools restart |
a reboot may be a better test than restart

That did it! I love this forum.
I only have one question. Since I set python to 2.7 (It was 3.3), do I need to worry that it will create problems for other packages that may be looking for 3.3? |

Actually I would be willing to do that if not much overhead involved. I actually run a Samsung box so have to deal with it anyway.
How do I "volunteer"? |

I only have one question. Since I set python to 2.7 (It was 3.3), do I need to worry that it will create problems for other packages that may be looking for 3.3? A package can specify a python single target, multiple targets, or just python. Now that it is known to work, you can invoke 2.7 by adding 'app-laptop/samsung-tools PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7" ' to /etc/portage/package.use and then eselect python set python3.3 . The problem may have resulted from the samsung-tools-2.1.ebuild that you had predating python-3.3. The original version of samsung-tools-2.1 apparently specified "python" with no version specified . The Randolph Maaßen 2013-11-01 18:37:14 UTC comment on Bug 484034 was probably incorporated into samsung-tools-2.1.ebuild without a version bump.

Quick question. How do I keep from wanting to dump samsung-tools now that I bumped up a version? I added | Code: | | =app-laptop/samsung-tools-2.3.1 |
to package.accept_keywords but it still wants to un-emerge it. |

try | Code: | | emerge --noreplace =app-laptop/samsung-tools-2.3.1 |
for shortform, never tried it might work
or
| Code: | | echo <app-laptop/samsung-tools-2.3.1 >> /etc/portage/package.mask |
never tried it might work for this purpose
or
persuade a gentoo dev to add your work to the sunrise overlay (you as maintainer) and then add sunrise to your overlays with layman
or
build your own local overlay
