Post subject:  ALT + W no longer working on upgrading to 8.3

I was happily running 8.2 and then recently did the upgrade via pacman to 8.3. Everything went swimmingly however I only just today tried to use ALT + W to open Chrome and I get the message the Chrome is not installed.

Confirming with Pacman that it is in fact installed, I tried a reinstallation however this has made no difference. Can someone help me correct this slight aberration?

Cheers

Open a term and try to run google-chrome to see what the error is. I have seen a couple of instances where an upgraded machine may be missing a value in /etc/machine-id. I am not sure what is deleting it yet but you can regen it with
Code:
sudo systemd-machine-id-setup

I also have the same issue with a clean install of 8.3

Checked Pacman google-chrome 43.0.2357.81-1

My /etc/machine-id file has 0 bytes

Code:
MythTV $google-chrome
Process 16212:  D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up: Failed to read
Machine UUID file ‘/etc/machine-id’ Should contain a hex string of length 32,
Not 0, with no other text

See the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue.
    D-Bus not built with –r dynamic so unable to print backtrace
Aborted (core dumped)
MythTV $


Thanks

Recently did a R8.3 ISO update and my /etc/machine-id was also a zero byte file. Had to run
Code:
sudo systemd-machine-id-setup

To populate the file as well.

Hmmm. My /etc/machine-id file also has 0 bytes but my ALT + W works fine.

I did try the software from the command line on the way out the door to work and it did mention about the machine-id.

I have since run the command to generate the file but this has only had partial success.

When I run google-chrome from the command line it works fine, however when I use ALT + W it starts Chome but after a few seconds it closes and the message pops up again that Chrome is not installed. When you reopen Chrome it knows it crashed as it asks you to restore previous session.

What next?

Alt + W runs this:
Code:
/usr/bin/google-chrome --no-first-run
Run that from the command line and see what errors.

Clean install of 8.3
Note: My /etc/machine-id file has 0 bytes, I ran this command in root directory and then tried it in /etc same results.

Code:
[root@mythtv ect]# sudo systemd-machine-id-setup
sudo: systemd-machine-id-setup: comand not found
[root@mythtv ect]#


Code:
[root@mythtv]# /usr/bin/google-chrome --no-first-run
[1:1:0701/085011:ERROR:nacl_fork_delegate_linux.cc(314)]

Try reinstalling systemd. sudo pacman -S systemd

I had the systemd command spelled wrong.
machine ID is now 33 bytes
New run of google-chrome
the error code # changed from 085011 to 133312

Code:
[root@mythtv]# /usr/bin/google-chrome --no-first-run
[1:1:0701/133312:ERROR:nacl_fork_delegate_linux.cc(314)]
Bad NaCL helper startup ack (0 bytes)
[root@mythtv]#

Try as mythtv user, not root.

I tried the command as directed and it ran fine, there was some output and it was:
Code:
[24102:24102:0702/080243:ERROR:url_pattern_set.cc(240)] Invalid url pattern: chrome://print/*
Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
[WARNING:flash/platform/pepper/pep_module.cpp(63)] SANDBOXED


I exited chrome and tried the ALT + W again and it worked fine as well.

So I am unsure of what happened but it appears to working at the moment.

Tried again the other day and the original issue reappeared.

When I get the opportunity I will attempt to get the details out of a terminal so that we have something to work with.
