Hello,

As of today I've been getting errors on system boot and shutdown that can be traced back to dracut and brltty. Trying to rebuild my initramfs resulted in the following:

dracut: *** Including module: brltty ***
brltty-lsinc: missing file

brltty-lsinc: cannot open file: /etc/brltty/Input/mm/*.ktb: No such file or directory

This is due to the brltty package's update to version 6.2; downgrading to 6.1 fixes the problem.

I know the dracut-hook package has absolutely nothing to do with either the problem itself or its solution, but seeing as I don't really know the nitty-gritty internals of dracut, and also that brltty's 6.2 update supposedly brings the Arch version closer to upstream, I'm not really sure what to report this as: a brltty package bug (probably not if the change was deliberate in order to sync with upstream), a dracut package bug, or a dracut upstream bug?

EDIT: Hmmm, on the other hand this brltty-lsinc binary that dracut calls is owned by the brltty package, so now I'm thinking it's probably a brltty bug after all; maybe the binary was compiled with the wrong paths, because all those files can actually be found at /usr/share/brltty/Input/ instead.

I've reported it as a brltty package bug.

The commands create images with microcode images embedded. intel-ucode and amd-ucode should be added as targets.

Please change line 33 of dracut-install to

dracut -f --hostonly --no-hostonly-cmdline "/boot/initramfs-${kernel}.img" --kver "${version}"

and line 35 to

dracut -f "/boot/initramfs-${kernel}-fallback.img" --kver "${version}"

Currently both commands create the same fallback image.

Oh, that was the hint to what I was missing. I also have kernel-modules-hook ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kernel-modules-hook/ ) installed but it does a plain copy of the modules directory. I have just tested, and both versions of the modules have the pkgbase file existing, despite the error message. It seems like these two packages are not compatible, are they?

quebin31 commented on 2020-09-26 22:39 (UTC)

Yeah, but it looks like you have two versions 5.8.5 and 5.8.10.

And1G commented on 2020-09-26 22:37 (UTC)

Just the plain standard linux package from the core repo, nothing fancy. See the edited comment, the pkgbase actually does exist, so I do not understand the error message.

quebin31 commented on 2020-09-26 14:16 (UTC)

@And1G which kernels do you have installed? It's weird that one of those doesn't have a pkgbase file.

dracut-hook 0.4.2-1 fails for me, did I do something wrong? I reverted to the hook from the Wiki and it works as expected... I am not that kind of a bash pro, so I was not able to start any further investigation.

(4/4) Updating linux initcpios... /usr/share/libalpm/scripts/dracut-install: line 28: /usr/lib/modules/5.8.10-arch1-1/pkgbase /usr/lib/modules/5.8.5-arch1-1/pkgbase: No such file or directory error: command failed to execute correctly

(/usr/lib/modules/5.8.5-arch1-1/pkgbase does exist)
