I just reinstalled and same thing happened again.
Am I missing something or this stage is really messed up:
So: vaio ~ # rc-update show default
alsasound | default
consolekit | default
dbus | default
local | default
metalog | default
net.wlp5s0 | default
ntpd | default
sshd | default

Thanks for the clarification, I removed it from default.
Still had to add it to boot as it was not there tho.

It literally makes no sense.
I've wiped '/etc/runlevels/default/' out, rebooted, then created these again, rebooted again and now it works 8O
How it looks like now: vaio default # ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Aug 30 17:27 alsasound -> /etc/init.d/alsasound

This is a fresh installation.
My default runlevel looks like this: vaio ~ # rc-update show default
alsasound | default

net.lo | default

ct85711, thanks. That pointed me in the right direction.
It was in fact xfce4-power-manager, but it turns out that since version 1.3.0 I have to include 'battery' in XFCE_PLUGINS. 1.2.0-r2 did not support that.

I'm using Xfce with OpenRC (hence - sys-power/upower-pm-utils). After emerging sys-power/upower-pm-utils-0.9.23-r2 a few days ago, my tray icon disappeared and no matter what I do - I cannot get it back. It was okay with the previous version (0.9.23).

xfce4-power-manager.xml looks okay (I changed ...

Thanks again.
Marking as solved.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

@NeddySeagoon, I did try a different cables and different ports - pretty much the same results.

However, I believe smartctl was able to pinpoint the problem:

I have WD My Book Essential 3.0 USB disk and I've been having some problems with it.
I want to rule out other problems, before returning the drive as defective. Already tried a different USB cable and on a different port - same results.

What arch are you on?

As in the other thread, this was confirmed as a glib bug. Patch is available as well:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=501330#c68
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits ... 02586.html

Works for me too.

I already managed to fix it by masking glib-2.38, latest glib-networking and latest gvfs.
However, to be able to leave portage in consistent state, gtk+ has to be rebuilt too.
The latest version that doesn't depend on glib-2.38 is gtk+-2.x. All the 3.x ones now want glib-2.38 :x :evil:
I'm thinking ...

Try using "dev-libs/glib-2.36.4-r1", which is, I think, the latest stable version of glib. It works for me.
How did you manage to do that?
I seem to be unable to downgrade.
I can see 2.36.4-r1 with eix:
Xecutor ~ # eix dev-libs/glib
[D] dev-libs/glib
Available versions:
(1) [m]1.2.10-r5

That solved it, thanks.

For some reason, pypax fails ro emerge with a very descriptive message:

What I want to achieve is to automate the fallback process in GRUB2.
e.g. scenario:
- I have 1 kernels (no initrd)

- I've I add a 3rd menu entry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom, which tries to boot a non ...

Tried this?

Actually, the option is '-sub /path/to/filename' and yes, it did not work but lots of those:

For some reason I have no subtitles when playing videos with mplayer2/smplayer.
When starting it from CLI I see no errors. I can see the subtitle file being recognized in the player. However, I have no text output at all.
From the mplayer2 website:
Subtitle rendering uses libass by default

You would NEVER believe what the problem was:

I see we are making progress; there is a driver loaded but it ignores your mouse. I fails to see exactly why it does so. Here are some more ideas: You have InputClasses with overlapping match-criteria (the MatchDevicePath). You can make the InputClasses more specific with additional match criteria ...

I've added this to 30-touchpad.conf (dont mind the name, I'll take care of it once this is sorted):

Looks like it is recognized, but still...
My touchpad works okay though. It was working okay without any configuration, using evdev (but no special features, e.g. scrolling, tap-to-click etc.).
Had to configure it with Synaptics driver to add the special stuff.
