[arch-general] eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Hi, I have a script which works fine on Ubuntu but fails on Arch: -------------------------------------------------------- #! /bin/bash -eu # # Burn a DVD from the working directory # # Usage: burn <volume name> # # Creates an .iso file from the working directory in /tmp, # writes the image to /dev/dvdrw, then checks the integrity # of the disc. # # Prerequisites: # An empty DVD in /dev/dvdrw # The size of the working directory fits on a DVD VOLNAME="$1" TMPDIR=`mktemp -d` || exit 1 ISOFILE="$TMPDIR/$VOLNAME.iso" GENLOG="$TMPDIR/genisoimage.log" GROWLOG="$TMPDIR/growisofs.log" BURNER="/dev/dvdrw" echo "Image and logs in $TMPDIR" echo -n "Creating image... " genisoimage -udf -allow-limited-size -input-charset iso8859-2 -iso-level 4 -J -joliet-long -log-file "$GENLOG" -r -V "$VOLNAME" -v -o "$ISOFILE" . &> /dev/null echo "Done." echo -n "Burning image... " growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=16 -Z "$BURNER"="$ISOFILE" &> "$GROWLOG" echo "Done." echo -n "Reloading media... " eject "$BURNER" eject -t "$BURNER" echo "Done." echo -n "Verifying image... " EXTENTS=`egrep -e "^[0-9]+ extents written " "$GENLOG" | egrep -o -e "^[0-9]+"` MD5ISO=`md5sum "$ISOFILE" | egrep -o -i -e "^[0-9a-f]{32}"` MD5DVD=`dd if="$BURNER" bs=2048 count="$EXTENTS" 2> /dev/null | md5sum | egrep -o -i -e "^[0-9a-f]{32}"` if [ "$MD5ISO" == "$MD5DVD" ]; then echo "OK." echo -n "Cleaning up... " rm -r "$TMPDIR" echo "Done." else echo "ERROR!" fi echo "ISO MD5: $MD5ISO" echo "DVD MD5: $MD5DVD" eject "$BURNER" -------------------------------------------------------- When it reaches eject "$BURNER", it gives the error in the subject. If after that I type in "eject /dev/dvdrw" in that terminal, it ejects fine. After install I couldn't even eject by pressing the button on the drive, but the patch in here fixed that: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9537 I have xfce4. Where should I look to fix this? Thanks. csm

[arch-general] After upgrade to KDE 4.2.2 AltGr missing in Konsole and gtk apps
by waldek 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Hi, could somebody have a look at this topic: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=69393 in short, after the upgrade to KDE 4.2.2 AltGr key does not work in Konsole, Yakuake and gtk applications. It works in all other native KDE applications. maybe some KDE users with Gernam keyboard here who could check if they have the same problem before I open a bug report at kde.org. Cheers Waldek

Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] [signoff] kernel-2.6.29.1-3

Aufs2 works fine. Other problem: But I think there is a upload bug with rtl8187 driver. With kernel 2.6.28.8 i can get to my full upload speed at the low end. With kernel 2.6.29 it starts at full upload speed then goes down from there. It bugs me cause i upload livecds and it fells like the new 2.6.29 is kill the connection with upload. kernel 2.6.28.8 upload speed: 500Kbyte/sec goes down to 256Kbyte/sec kernel 2.6.29 upload speed: 256Kbyte/sec goes down to like 90Kbyte/sec or less. Other then this bug it can go in to core. Since i don't think its going to get solved just yet.

>Does that mean aufs2 itself works but in combination with unionfs it is not >working? Aufs2 works fine if your not using unionfs. I think this cause the fs/stack.c file was major edit with unionfs patch. Just a guess has to why unionfs screws up aufs2.

Like syslog-ng, that when compiled it looks if the sys/capabilities.h is present.

Aufs freezes my archiso-live build in virtualbox. I believe this bug is cause aufs2 only worked for me without unionfs. Sadly thats the only way i ever got aufs2 to work at all with kernel 2.6.29 that i build.

[arch-general] PKGBUILD: mkdir or install?
by Ali H. Caliskan 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Hello fellow Arch Linux devels and users, I'm wondering if it's inappropriate to use "mkdir -p" in PKGBUILD instead of "install". I've seen quite many official PKGBUILDs that use mkdir instead of install, whose very structure I've adopted and applied in my various PKBUILDs. Does it matter if it's mkdir or install, and why? Kind regards, Ali
