Problems and solutions encountered when using archlinux

 

Archlinux partial upgrade causes firefox to fail to start

Firefox, which was used normally before, suddenly could not be started today, and the following error was reported during startup:

[oite @ oite ~] $ firefox

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so:
libicui18n.so.55: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.

 

Analysis of the reason: I installed several applications under archlinux today. During the installation process, some updated dependency packages may conflict with firefox.

Google found that many people have encountered the same problem. After doing a system upgrade and installing libffi, firefox works fine:

sudo pacman -Syu libffi

 

 

Install vmware-player 

遇到vmware kernel module updater， kernel headers for arch version not found.

sudo pacman -Reason linux-headers

After installing linux-headers, prompt vmware kernel module updater, check See log file /tmp/vmware-root/vmware-1591.log for details.
