 Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2012 3:05 pm Post subject: X udev problems after update: cannot open libudev.so |
 |
|
Ran an update yesterday and now X wont start
The error that I get is:
| Code: | xauth: file /home/floopy/.serverauth.2499 does not exist
/usr/bin/X: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory |
I located this file and it was living in /ib32.bak along with libudev.so.0.9.3
This is due to an earlier problem with the /lib32 file which was mucking something else up- see my earlier post which was "SOLVED"
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-923898-highlight-.html
basically I was getting flags about the lib32 folder and per suggestions the whole folder should not have been there so I turned it into a backup file and restarted and everything worked fine then.
So I copied libudev.so.0 and libudev.so.0.9.3 from /lib32.bak into just /lib
Now when I restarted, X started and seemed fine- I get to the login window as usual, but my keyboard and touchpad are completely dead.
I am not sure if this is relevant- but probably is- when I updated last I got a flag about
sys-fs/udev-init-scripts
it said | Code: | | udev-postmount service has been removed, remove it from runlevel |
I ran
and it did not show udev-postmount so I assumed all was well
The other flag I am getting | Code: | | DEVTMPFS is not set in the kernel, udev will not run |
this error has only occurred since adding the udev-inist-scripts (at least I had never seen it before)
Perhaps this is a different problem?
At the moment the computer is in trouble and will probably need to do the livecd thing to get in since the keyboard and mouse are utterly dead
Can anyone help? Thanks |

Or if that won't work (it should), manually recompile everything using udev. libudev.so.0 is gone, there's libudev.so.1 now. This is assuming you're using ~arch and have therefore upgraded to udev-186. |

| I was having a similar issue. In /usr/lib64, I had libudev.so.1, libudev.so, and libudev.so.1.0.2, and I just created a symlink from libudev.so.1.0.2 to libudev.so.0. Not sure if this will work for you, but it seems to be a workaround for me. |

DON'T ever do that!! It's the craziest of hacks. Might work by chance now, might lead to weird crashes and maybe failed compiles down the road. Instead do what I said you should do - recompile everything that uses udev. So that the stuff will link to .so.1 |

You're right, sorry to mislead. I think I resorted to that because I was having some issues with another package, and revdep-rebuild was failing. I ran this, though, and it seemed to do the trick:
| Code: |
emerge -a --oneshot `equery d udev | awk '{print " ="$1}'`

acroread
| Code: | | /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory |
I am having that issue since I did update day before yesterday. I remember doing revdep-rebuild after the world update and also reemerged acroread but didn't help. I am running this now,
| Code: | emerge -a --oneshot `equery d udev | awk '{print " ="$1}'`

Title udev-181 unmasking
Author William Hubbs <williamh@gentoo.org>
Posted 2012-03-16
Revision 1
udev-181 is being unmasked on 2012-03-19.
This news item is to inform you that once you upgrade to a version of
udev >=181, if you have /usr on a separate partition, you must boot your
system with an initramfs which pre-mounts /usr.
An initramfs which does this is created by
>=sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.25.1 or
>=sys-kernel/dracut-017-r1. If you do not want to use these tools, be
sure any initramfs you create pre-mounts /usr.
Also, if you are using OpenRC, you must upgrade to >= openrc-0.9.9.
For more information on why this has been done, see the following URL:
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/separate-usr-is-broken

Still the same error while I run acroread after doing emering udev dependent packages as said earlier.

| acroread, as a proprietary package, can only be fixed by its upstream. |

I found out, it was jump from app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs-20121202 to app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs-20130224 that created the issue for me.
ln -s /lib32/libudev.so.1.2.1 /lib32/libudev.so.0 helped me get acrobat to run again. No idea if this link is going to cause issues in future.
Thanks. |
