nm-dispatcher does not allow to boot after world update

[znavko]

Hello! Funtoo is so pretty useful and fast. I want you to help me to boot in graphic mode.

Here are the errors of xorg that I solved in next reply. And the other problem is  nm-dispatcher's timeout on boot.

After running `ego sync`, `emerge --sync`, `eix-update`, `emerge --avuND --with-bdeps=y --complete-graph=y --backtrack=30 --keep-going --verbose-conflicts --exclude "gentoo-sources firefox gimp openshot glibc perl pyrhon gcc" world `

and successful complete with some yellow lines in the end my Funtoo does not start XORG and lightdm.

After boot I see this https://itmag.es/8jZn
Pressing any key gives authorization. After authorization I cannot start lightdm and xorg:

# lightdm

What to do?

PS: I use debian-sources, not gentoo-sources. I copied and quickly run this line adding exceptions, did not see it has gentoo-sources atom.

@znavko, your reports are getting better. No we know that the problem is with your graphics card or your graphics drivers as X reports no screens found.

I would still like to know how your system was before running upgrade. Was it booting to graphical, did you startx manually ...

`ego sync`, `emerge --sync`, `eix-update`

this can be replaced by single command =>

eix-sync

--backtrack=30

no need to use this as it will make dependency resolution slower

--exclude "gentoo-sources firefox gimp openshot glibc perl pyrhon gcc"

you don't need to exclude all these things if there is no update to these packages portage will not rebuild them that is what emerge -u is there for.

OK and now to your actual problem. nm-dispatcher is not your problem. nm-dispatcher happens to be the last think that runs from your init scripts and you think it is causing your error but it is not.

Please paste your make.conf and

eix -I "xf86-*"

and your /var/lib/portage/world file

I found one error: wrong synaptics.conf file where I wanted to add double-click using arch manual https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics#Synclient I added command `synclient tapbutton=1` in file.

When deleted I could `startx`

But after reboot nm-dispatcher does not allow to boot. I press enter but nothing happens https://itmag.es/5PLPW

It stops on line `nm-dispatcher: req:4 'hostname': start running ordered scripts...`

 

I also cannot boot to console using my grub line:

linux /kernel-debian-sources-x86_64-4.8.15-1 rootfstype=auto real_root=/dev/sda3 rootfstype=ext4

I added to the end 'quiet text' not helped, stops on nm-dispatcher. I added to the end 'init=/bin/sh'  not helped also.

[znavko]

Simply pressing Ctrl + Alt + F4 has run new console, where I authorized and typed `lightdm`. System booted, I authorized/

I rebooted. lightdm runs by itsels. But after I typed login and password and pressed enter nm-dispatcher run again and stopped booting again. I rebboted and nm-dispatcher stopped everything again.

I only want to know why ModemManager is so ugly, how to work with wifi without nm-dispatcher?

Also how to boot to text-mode with my so specific kernel line?

[znavko]

Humm. I was reading archlinux wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager#Avoiding_the_dispatcher_timeout

I've not found scripts mentioned there in my system. But I saw others, that I do not want, here:

There were wpa_supplicant's 4 services and dhcpcd services.So I deleted wpa_supplicant and have just running deleting dcpcd and saw it is system file. I aborted and run `emerge -auDN dcpcd` but got nothing.

Now I cannot install dhcpcd:

# emerge -auDN dhcpcd

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

How to fix nm-dispatcher and install my dcpcd ? Also do I need wpa_supplicant?

[znavko]

I installed dhcpcd with this: `emerge dhcpcd`. So just 1 package pulled and installed.

When I rebooted lightdm started very well without any stops.

But nmtui did not see the wi-fi. so i boot to systemrescuecd to emerge wpa_supplicant again.

[znavko]

 

I definitely like Funtoo. I installed wpa_supplicant without any conflicts. Rebooted. I also look at this inconvenient message from nm-dispatcher and need to run another console to start lightdm.But wifi is working 8)

@palica, yes I booted into graphic mode, to LXDE before this update.

@znavko, I have one plea to you, please don't fix your broken funtoo system using instructions found on archlinux wiki it will not work. Please post on this forum and then wait until someone replies if you want help from others and do not run some more commands and do stuff that you don't understand what it is doing, which makes stuff even worse for the people willing to help you.

Please train your patience a bit. So post and wait, please.

Are you running funtoo? If yes then systemd is not supported, we use openrc as our init. So anything copied from other sources will likely be false.

Once again! Please! Please! Post and wait. Do NOT run any other commands that make stuff even worse or make your posts a mess. Thank you!

[znavko]

ok. I edited post with commands eix and cat make.conf

[palica]

please post

[palica]

how did you run lxde? did you have to start it by hand/manually or did you have a DisplayManager like GDM, LightDM, ...?

LXDE starts with lightdm that starts with /etc/conf.d/xdm line 'lightdm'

nm-dispatcher may break lightdm work when it is running lxde, and it stops - I had this event one time. I never had this on slim.

ok. you have 2 laptops so one can be for testing stuff and the other one for communicating. is this correct?

if yes,

then stop xdm and remove all logs from /var/log/X.*
 

/etc/init.d/xdm stop

rm /var/log/X.*

then disable networkmanager (it will not fix your situation, I just want to show you that it is NOT networkmanager that is responsible for lightdm not starting on your pc)

rc-update delete NetworkManager

then restart your pc and report back with what you see. and post /var/log/X.0.log (or any other number that is there)

Thank you

rm /var/log/Xorg.*.log

 

[znavko]

after reboot I saw boot message 'DHCP started' and one more after it. But the next 20 messages about ModemManager, NetworkMnager, netmount disappeared. Afer filling loging form LXDE was shown. But no network.

After adding NetworkManager to rc `rc-update add NetworkManager default` and `reboot` I authorize to lightdm and see the same blackscreen with nm-dispatcher messages. Also during booting I saw connection progress and other 20 messages about ModemManager, NetworkManager, netmount

/var/log/Xorg.0.log -  https://pastebin.com/7QGg1PTG

Can I replace networkmanager's start after login? or may be rearrange?

 

[znavko]

I've deleted NetworkManager from rc, rebooted, authorized normally and saw LXDE without any problems. I opened terminal: `su`, `NetworkManager`

it started and wifi was connected.

This is not linux way, but one solution is to add NetworkManager to xinit not adding to rc.

But I want linux-way. is it a bug? Do I need netmount if I do not use home network?

[znavko]

I added start of NetworkManager to system xinitrc.d instead of rc:

# cd /etc/X11/xinit/
# ls
xinitrc  xinitrc.d  xserverrc
# cd xinitrc.d
# ls
00-xhost  40-libcanberra-gtk-module  80-dbus  90-consolekit
# nano 92-networkmanager

can you get to this state, please? So removing NM from xinit and adding it to default and rebooting.

You are saying: "I authorize to lightdm ... " so Xorg does start even with NM enabled?

[znavko]

after reboot the problem disappeared.

Solution: delete  /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/10-openrc-status

What do you think?

NetworkManager is in rc-update. I deleted it from xinit.

Yes. Problem was transformed by itself: it did allow to start lightdm, but when I authorize I got the blackscreen with nm-dispatcher's 10 messages.

I do not know why but after `rc-udate delete..` and `rc-update add...` nm-dispatcher did allow to start lightdm, but stopped  booting after authorization. And I  needed to start new console with Ctrl + Alt + F4, authorize there and run `lightdm` where I authorize, and LXDE started normally in this console.

 

But now my problem is solved.

Networkmanager is in rc-update. I only do: deleted  /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/10-openrc-status.

But also I deleted modemmanager from boot as described here https://askubuntu.com/questions/216114/how-can-i-remove-modem-manager-from-boot

 

Can you see bug in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/10-openrc-status ?

[znavko]

No, removing /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/10-openrc-status did not help. problem appeared again.

It stops on message 'nm-dispatcher: req:4: 'hostname' start running ordered scripts' I need to open new console with ctrl + alt + f4, authorize and run lightdm then authorize again, only after that lxde runs. and tis is what i have after lxde run.
