Mageia 4, i5 4core on a Asus z-87, 16Gb nvidia760 gtx
mcc will not launch from icon or from menu, I also have message "no system tray".

All was okay untill on-line update done 1 day ago, reboot today, any ideas please?

mmh, in both cases it's complaining about '/lib/libcairo.so.2' which is part of the libcairo2 package (lib64cairo2 in case you are using 64bit system)

can you check if the package is installed?

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep libcairo2

maybe you can try to re-install the package

Code: Select all

urpmi --replacefiles --replacepkgs libcairo2

I'm still in 32 bit, I'll try to reinstall cairo this evening thanks.

perl, pango and cairo all installed. I've no idea what to try except a new install Windows style which I'd like to avoid.

Installed or reinstalled with the command posted previously?
Please show the output of the commands.

Code: Select all

$ rpm -qa | grep perl
perl-Cairo-1.104.0-2.mga4

(amongst many other lines). Why cairo1 here? FF is looking for cairo2

notice anything odd?

The undefined symbol comes from an unrelated package:

Code: Select all

[doktor5000@Mageia4 ~]$ symbol=eglGetProcAddress
[doktor5000@Mageia4 ~]$ for f in /usr/lib/*.so.*; do objdump -t -T $f | grep $symbol | grep -v '*UND*' && echo $f; done

[doktor5000@Mageia4 ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/libEGL.so.1.0.0

Can you please show the output of

Code: Select all

rpm -V libmesaegl1

I'll check tonight, thanks.

Before I got home, my son decided to lay around with a partition from within Windows, but said nothing until I saw that Mageia was sticking with:

Code: Select all

"[TIME] Timed out waiting for device blah blah etc
[DEPEND] Dependancy failed for /media/win_f_disk
   "                  "              "       "   Local File systems
   "                   "              "        "  Relabel all filesystems
    "                  "               "       "   Mark the need to reload etc.etc."


and the system asks for root pwd for maintenance, but what to do?

Try pressing Ctrl+D.

Otherwise enter root password, and comment out the offending line in /etc/fstab.
The other way would be to boot windows and do a clean shutdown, not the hybrid shutdown/hibernate from windows 8.

The problem is with the windows partition, not with Mageia. For more information check viewtopic.php?p=44495#p44495 or viewtopic.php?p=44468#p44468

Okay, I don't feel very much at ease accessing fstab with vi, I'll do it from a live disk tonight, thanks.

Or from a rescue option of the install dvd? (if available)

rooman wrote:Or from a rescue option of the install dvd? (if available)

You can also run vi from the rescue option of the install DVD if that was your question
I'm not sure if the install DVD also contains other editors.

But vi is pretty simple. Navigate to the line, press i to insert and insert # signs at the beginning of the lines with windows partitions.
If you made a mistake, Esc + u will undo your last action(s).
If you're done, press Esc :wq or Esc : x [actually there's no blank between : and x but if written together forum interprets this as ]
and then enter to save the file. If unsure, simply make a backup before.

vi woked perfectly thanks and system booted. I have not used vi since early mandrake xfconfig days long ago, returning tp previous problem.

Code: Select all

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -V libmesaegl1

= no output at all.

I have manually (urpmi) reinstalled pango, cairo, perl and gtk2.
No change.
An older forum speaks of a similar problem affecting mcc and FF : https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=61482, any help doktor?

I don't have much clues about the whole gtk/gtk2/cairo things or their interdependencies ...
Please report that as a bug, after searching if it hasn't been reported yet already: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_report_a_bug_properly

I think I'll try to repair with the install dvd and if that does'nt work, do a clean reinstall. Thanks for your help.

Abandoned, I've reinstalled, thanks for your help. But can't see how to mark SOLVED.

You can do so, by editing the title/subject of the first message in the topic.
Place [SOLVED] in front of subject/title.

Thanks ahead!!!
