11 years ago Thanks for the complement!
I won't need anymore information. From the error, it seems that you still have the old xorg-server-ubuntu, xorg-server-ubuntu-devel, fixesproto-ubuntu, and libxfixes-ubuntu. Please install the non -ubuntu versions of those packages. After that, Unity should compile fine :D

11 years ago a tip: prepend 'LANG=C' to your command when creating logs for bug reports. for example '$ LANG=C makepkg' . that way, (usually) all messages of the command will be in english.

11 years ago Well, I replaced the mentioned packages and did pacman -Suy to bring everything up to date. Now it doesn't start anymore to the desktop. I tried to compile unity, but it failed with a different error. So I thouhgt of compiling everything from the beginning. The two GTKs compiled fine, qt4 had a conflict between nvidia-utils and mesa-libgl (I think) which is a problem I've had before. Libdbusmenu stops compiling, but I can't post an image of the error because I've no GUI on the machine. Any suggestions?

11 years ago Could you add my repo to your pacman.conf and reinstall the Unity packages from the repo?
[Unity-for-Arch]
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Server = http://dl.dropbox.com/u/486665/Repos/Unity-for-Arch/$arch.
pacman -Sy $(pacman -Slq Unity-for-Arch)That way, you can at least get a working GUI (hopefully). The packages are cleanly and automatically built in a chroot.
If that doesn't work, try reinstalling nvidia-utils again to make sure the NVIDIA drivers are used.

11 years ago The update replaced the packages I couldn't compile, but it didn't help. The reinstallation of nvidia-utils helped. Thank you very much! Shall I use this repo in the future?

commented
11 years ago You're welcome! I'm glad you got it working :D
You can certainly use the repo if you want. Every time I make a change/commit, my server will automatically compile the new packages and upload it to the repo, so it will always have the latest packages.
The packages are always built cleanly in a chroot, so it should work well on any Arch system :)
EDIT: The packages for Unity-for-Arch-Extra are available in this repo:
[Unity-for-Arch-Extra]
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Server = http://dl.dropbox.com/u/486665/Repos/Unity-for-Arch-Extra/$archUnfortunately it didn't really help. Lightdm is starting up, I can login, but I just see the wallpaper and nothing else, cursor is moving though.
I don't think that the unity packages are to blame. The new X together with a new nvidia version might have done the trick.
At first, after pressing the superbutton, the bar and the lens appeared and vanished immediately, like something was resetting itself. After pressing super once again, the whole interface was gone for good and I had to reboot.
Pacman -Suy says that everything is up to date. I tried reinstalling X which led to a conflict between competing libgl. I chose nvidia-libgl after deinstalling al. nvidia packages and reinstalling them afterwards.
By the way, whats the appropiate manner to restart X in Unity for Arch? Ctrl+Alt+Del , Ctrl+Alt+Back , Alt+Print+K/REISUB, these don't work.
EDIT: Hmm, I can rightclick on the desktop and could change the wallpaper and reach into the systempreferences, the close-, maxbuttons are not present though. Ctrl+Q makes it possible to close the winodw, but nothing else is visible.

11 years ago If that's the case, could you login to the Unity X session then switch to a TTY and run:
DISPLAY=:0.0 compiz.resetAs long as you choose nvidia-libgl, instead of any other libgl, Unity should run properly.
By the way, whats the appropiate manner to restart X in Unity for Arch? Ctrl+Alt+Del , Ctrl+Alt+Back , Alt+Print+K/REISUB, these don't work.
Doesn't REISUB kill all programs and restart the computer immediately? :D
But anyway, I'm not aware of any key combination to restart X. I usually run
DISPLAY=:0.0 gnome-session-quit --logoutin a TTY to see if I can logout of the Unity session properly. If that fails, then I just restart lightdm
sudo systemctl restart lightdm.serviceEDIT: Hmm, I can rightclick on the desktop and could change the wallpaper and reach into the systempreferences, the close-, maxbuttons are not present though. Ctrl+Q makes it possible to close the winodw, but nothing else is visible.
It seems Compiz is what's crashing then. After resetting Compiz with the command above, could you post your ~/.xsession-errors file? (if Unity still doesn't start, of course :P)
By the way, the nautilus-open-terminal package is pretty useful. You can right click the desktop or any other nautilus window to open a terminal.

No problem. I want everyone to have a working and stable Unity on Arch :)
Since Unity doesn't seem to be logging anything related to the crash, we'll have to go at this by trial-and-error. Since you said that Unity works until you hit the super button to open the lens, could you remove all of the unity-lens-* packages to rule out the possibility that those are broken?
EDIT: The output of
glxinfo | grep rendererdoes not say LLVMpipe anywhere, right?

This problem will go away as soon as Ubuntu ports LightDM to use systemd's logind (a service that tracks logged in users). As far as I know, this should be done by the time Ubuntu 13.04 is released.
EDIT: Would you mind checking one more time that the packages are from my repo?
LANG=C && for i in $(pacman -Slq Unity-for-Arch); do pacman -Qi ${i} | sed -n "s/Packager.*: \(.*\)$/Package ${i}\n - Built by: \1/p"; doneAll the packages listed should show that they are built by Jenkins CI Autobuilder <chenxiaolong@cxl.epac.to>
EDIT2: Maybe also try reinstalling unity (just the package). That package contains all the pictures that are failing to load.

11 years ago I looked up the entries and they are all from your repo. I also reinstalled unity, which didn't help. I reinstalled all UfA and UfAE packages yesterday. Well, the Problems began with me not be able to compile the unity package. Which I did several times before, because I'm using UfA since late january.
chenxiaolong
commented
11 years ago That's really strange. I don't know why a failed build would cause Unity to crash. If you create a new user, does Unity work fine there?
mielouk
commented
11 years ago No, unfortunately it doesn't. The superbutton didn't react at all, I guess because the lenses were not installed. When I hit the arch-lense-button it crashes, resurrects, another pinch on the button and it dies, till I restart the lightdm session.
I'm not aware of any major changes, except the pacman -Suy yesterday.
chenxiaolong
commented
11 years ago At this point, I really have no idea what's wrong. Are you using 32 bit or 64 bit Arch? I'll build a LiveCD so you can see if Unity works on a perfect fresh live session.

11 years ago 64 bit
Thank you very much!
chenxiaolong

11 years ago All of the LiveCD stuff is available here: https://github.com/chenxiaolong/Unity-for-Arch-LiveCD :D
To be honest, I don't have the time and experience to maintain a LiveCD. For example, it takes me way too long to find out why ATI graphics boot with a black screen on the LiveCD, but not on a standard installation.
(Also, my ISP sent me warning letters for uploading too much before...oops :P)
But, you never know. If I can make the process automatic, like with Unity-for-Arch (http://cxl.epac.to:8091/), then maybe I'll create weekly/monthly LiveCDs.

11 years ago I can boot up, the lenses are working fine without any crash, but the rest freezes. For example, when I try to change the iconsize of the bar, the whole appearancewindow freezes as does the "shutdown" menu. I've to start the terminal, with the lenses ;) and reboot the computer. I couldn't try a upgrade because I don't have the password. Firefox didn't start up either...
Well, if the build is not the problem, how can I investigate my lens-issues?
EDIT: I figure that there's something seriously wrong with my installation. Over a few weeks I've to install a server via SSH, so this is a good opportunity to do that. Thank you very much for your help, again :)
mielouk
commented
11 years ago I've reinstalled the whole package from the beginning. The lenses are working fine, now. But as with the LiveCD, I can't start neither firefox nor thunderbird. Both tell me that there is already a session running, but no window appears?!
chenxiaolong
commented
11 years ago I'm glad you got Unity working again! Too bad we couldn't figure out what was wrong. But whatever, it works now right :)
I'll look into the Firefox issue. I'm guessing it's because some of the plugins are not compatible with Firefox 20. Try running Firefox in no-plugin mode:
killall firefox
firefox -safe-modeBtw, sorry for asking you to try so many things. I don't have a working computer right now, so it's kind of hard to give useful suggestions.
mielouk
commented
11 years ago Yeah, I got the functionality back, but I lost half of my media library because of my own stupidity :(
The commands help. Even after closing FF safe mode, I'm able to start firefox from console. It's unfortunately not possible to start it through GUI-means.
It's a fresh install, thus there were no plugins present..

11 years ago Did you install any packages from Unity-for-Arch-Extra? The Unity WebApps packages install some Firefox plugins.
I think I found the cause of the problem. If I remove firefox-extension-websites-integration and firefox-extension-unity in the LiveCD, then Firefox starts correctly.
Btw, to get root access on the LiveCD, use su instead of sudo.
chenxiaolong
commented
11 years ago firefox-extension-unity is part of Unity-for-Arch-Extra/unity-firefox-extension (bad naming, I know)
and firefox-extension-websites-integration is part of Unity-for-Arch-Extra/webapps-greasemonkey
Running this should be enough:
pacman -Rc firefox-extension-websites-integration firefox-extension-unityWorked fine for the firefox, thunderbird still says there's another instance running.
EDIT: Thunderbird works now also. I don't know what exactly I'd have done, but after the 10th retry or so, it just worked.
chenxiaolong
commented
11 years ago Awesome, I hope you finally have a stable Unity now :) It really helps to have patient people, like you, help find the causes of certain problems in this project!
If Thunderbird fails to start again after a reboot or something, let me know, and I'll see if there's a broken plugin that might cause the issue.
I'll see what I can do about the broken Firefox plugins after I have a computer again.

There's no such thing as a stupid question :)
The lenses and the Alt+Tab Icons are "stuttering" while appearing (works fine on my desktop though, the laptop has a optimus/bumblebee-solution. Could there be any issue?)
I think this may be dependant on your GPU. I've booted the same Arch installation on two computers, both with an Intel GMA4500MHD graphics card. One would always stutter while the other never did. I have no idea why this happens. I don't think it's related to bumblebee though. On optimus systems, Unity will always run with Intel card, not the NVIDIA one.
The mousethemes can't be changed anymore / aren't included anymore
Which cursor themes are you trying to use? The Ubuntu ones are in the xcursor-vanilla-dmz package. gnome-tweak-tool should have no problem changing the cursor theme.
The lightdm-greeter doesn't accept systemwide changes in keyboard layouts. Everything has a german keyboard layout except my login, very weird! I edited locale.gen locale.conf vconsole.conf
The /etc/vconsole.conf file configures the keyboard layout for the TTY consoles and the layout after you login is not system-wide. I think setting a system-wide keyboard layout for Xorg will fix this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Configuring_keyboard_layouts_in_X
And a probably "off-topic" question - Is it normal to have a SMB-transferrate of 10Mbyte/s or less? 10 with Ubuntu, ~8 with Arch.
For this, I'd first try testing the connection speed between the two computers. You can use iperf for this (Linux versions is in the repos, Windows version is available here: http://www.iperfwindows.com/). On one computer, run
iperf -son the other, run
iperf -c IP_ADDRESS -dThat will give you the speed between the two machines. Remember that 1 Megabyte = 8 Megabits. So, on my machine:
So, the maximum I should ever reach is 5.28/8 = 0.66 MB/s when transferring files (yes, I have a horrible wireless connection :D) The SMB performance should be a little bit lower than what iperf reports.

commented
11 years ago The new mousetheme is much better :) The old one was just ugly...
I'd already added a xorg-conf-file
Section "InputClass" Identifier "keyboard" MatchIsKeyboard "yes" Option "XkbLayout" "de-latin1" Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" EndSection
Which I had already copied from the german Arch-Wiki
As I mentioned, I just wiped my laptop, which had a Ubuntu on it. There was no stuttering at all with 12.04 and the standard nvidia-drivers.
Iperf shows a transferrate of 91,4 Mbit!/s thus ~11MB/s How is that possible with a Gb-LAN connection over just one switch?

Great!

What if you put
Option "XkbLayout" "de-latin1"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"in the "evdev keyboard catchall" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf?
EDIT: Try this if it doesn't work:
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"As I mentioned, I just wiped my laptop, which had a Ubuntu on it. There was no stuttering at all with 12.04 and the standard nvidia-drivers.
I'm not sure what would cause it, but code-wise quite a few things have changed since Unity 5.0 (12.04) :P

Do both ethernet cards support gigabit LAN? You can check by installing the ethtool package and running ethtool eth0. It should have 1000baseT/Full in the Supported link modes: section.

There's a catchall in every section. Where shall I put it?
As expected do both NICs support 1000baseT/Full. I guess I've to check the NIC-drivers.
EDIT: Changing de-latin1 to de in the 20-keyboard.conf did the trick :dancer:

11 years ago Hi, another -Syu and I get a blank screen with moving cursor.
While updating he asked whether to:
Replace libsoup-gnome with extra/libsoup? [Y/n]
Which I did. The command DISPLAY=:0.0 compiz.reset couldn't be applied before stopping lightdm. Didn't change anything though.
EDIT: I see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1262744#p1262744

11 years ago Darn it, sorry for replying so late. I missed the email notification from Github.
EDIT: Changing de-latin1 to de in the 20-keyboard.conf did the trick :dancer:
Glad you got it working! I know nothing about keyboard layouts. That was just a wild guess :)
If I may ask a personal question. In which timezone do you live in? Here in CET+summertime it is 06:08 AM
I live in the EDT timezone (EST + daylight savings) in the US. I think EDT is 5 hours behind CET+summertime.
For the GNOME 3.8 updates, everything should now work. Just update to the latest packages. If Unity still doesn't start, try running compiz.reset again.
By the way, DISPLAY=:0.0 compiz.reset will only work if you are logged in to a Xorg session. It doesn't have enough permissions to run when you're still at the login screen :)

Unity works still beutifully, but I've a question for which I don't get an answer on ARCH Forum.
I want to disable the usb autosuspend or delay it longer. I've found some hints
http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/usb/power-management.txt
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Power_saving#USB_Autosuspend
but none of them seems to work. I tried messing with the /sys/devices/usbcore and /sys/modules/parameters, but the changes don't seem to stick. Even after changing the parameters through chroot, they don't stick. I don't think, that it's a Unity related issue, but maybe you can help me. It's really annoying to have your mouse autosuspend after 2 seconds!!

11 years ago Hi mielouk, nice to see you here again :)
I'm not entirely sure the issue is related to Unity. I did a quick check on my server with no GUI:
[chenxiaolong@vm-ufabuilder parameters]$ cat /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend
2It's autosuspending the USB ports too, so maybe a recent kernel update changed the defaults? Try adding the following to /etc/udev/rules.d/usb_power_save.rules
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", TEST=="power/control" ATTR{power/control}="on"That should permanently disable the autosuspend (unless you are using laptop-mode-tools, tlp, etc).
Hope this helps :)

11 years ago Thank you very much, it seems to have worked! In first I thought it didn't, but after another reboot it did!
THX!

11 years ago Hi again :)
Since two weeks, I've got a bug which is really a pain in the ass, but I can't pinpoint the cause.
VLC is stuttering for a few times when I'm starting a video before it finally starts the clip. When I try to close it with Ctrl+Q, ALT+F4 or the menu, it keeps stuttering until I manage to open the also stuttering starter and click the "close" button. I don't have to kill the process, just manage to click the button. I don't know whether the nvidia-driver, unity or vlc is the problem.
Any guesses?

11 years ago Here I've a definitive Unity problem.
I can't find a fitting xstartup for my tigervnc. All solutions that should work, point either to .xinitrc, which is not present, or point towards unity-2D, which isn't supported anymore.
Do you have a working xstartup or a hint where I might look on?
This is the xstartup, which was present after install, but is always showing a grey screen:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
OS=uname -s
if [ $OS = 'Linux' ]; then
case "$WINDOWMANAGER" in
gnome)
if [ -e /etc/SuSE-release ]; then
PATH=$PATH:/opt/gnome/bin
export PATH
fi
;;
esac
fi
if [ -x /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ]; then
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
fi
if [ -f /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ]; then
exec sh /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
fi
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
twm &

11 years ago You may have to consider using an alternative VNC server. TigerVNC does not support the Xorg composite extension, so compositors, such as Unity/compiz and gnome-shell, won't run even if your xstartup file worked.
That's why all the guides recommended using Unity-2D.

11 years ago Thx, I'll look for more capable vncservers. Any suggestions for the VLC problem? I uninstalled, reinstalled, looked for errorlogs, but I can't find any problem.

11 years ago No problem. Do you need to VNC session to be a new session? x11vnc works fine with Unity, but it controls the session your are currently logged into.
I have an Nvidia optimus system on my laptop and I've found that if I boot with Intel graphics, VLC has no problem. If I boot with the Nvidia card, then I get the same problem as you describe. But I still don't know if the problem is in Unity or the nvidia drivers.

11 years ago No it doesn't have to be a new session, I want to control my desktop via my laptop. I didn't have the time to try x11vnc, yet. It looks promising from what I've read until now.
My guess is that the driver is the problem.

11 years ago As far as I know, x11vnc is the only VNC software that can control your current session. Hopefully that'll work for you. Normally, when I want to control my other computer, I ssh into it and run:
DISPLAY=:0.0 x11vnc

This is my first bugreport. Do you need any other information? I like Unity very much, especially combined with the clear usability of ARCH :)
