[arch-general] 'any' architecture repository
by John W Palmieri 25 Dec '10

25 Dec '10

Hey Gang: I'm creating my own packages and respository. I have both i686 and x86_64 architectures, as well as pure python code which is 'any' architecture. In order to get the 'any' packages to load in either 'i686' or 'x86_64', I have had to create a separate [custom-any] entry in pacman.conf and corresponding directory tree in the repository. I could add the 'any' packages to each of the machine architectures, but I don't like the redundancy. So is the separate entry the way to go? Obviously, I'd like one entry: [custom] ftp://server/linux/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch instead of: [custom] ftp://server/linux/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch [custom-any] ftp://server/linux/archlinux/$repo/os/any Thanks. -John

[arch-general] Arduino 64 wiki article
by Neil Munro 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

I have made the noted changes to the wiki article. Are there any more errors the need correcting? Is there a guideline for arch wiki writing so i can check that the article matches the rest of the arch wiki? I understand it may be a niche subject, but if anyone can test the instructions that would be great. Thanks, Neil

If so, try with mysql_upgrade -p. > (and with mysql running) Thanks Andrea, it was the password. Now running all fine. I had to use this link to reset the passwd : http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html#resetting- permissions-unix --just note: the file with sql command to change pwd must be chmod a+r 'd and placed to an accessible folder if done under root and run as --user=mysql. I also had to rm some log files since size did not fit and it died with error. After this I could run mysql_upgrade -p , restart mysqld and now everything plays nice. Thanks everyone and merry Christmas :o) -- Marek Otahal :o)

Well, I managed to get it running: install mysql (& the rest) from extra, run mysql_upgrade (ok), restart mysqld, install from testing, now mysqld restart works, but on mysql_upgrade i get : # mysql_upgrade Looking for 'mysql' as: mysql Looking for 'mysqlcheck' as: mysqlcheck Running 'mysqlcheck' with connection arguments: '--port=3306' '-- socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' '--port=3306' '-- socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' mysqlcheck: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) when trying to connect FATAL ERROR: Upgrade failed [root@beruska etc]# /etc/rc.d/mysqld restart :: Stopping MySQL Server [DONE] :: Starting MySQL Server [DONE] [root@beruska etc]# ...all config files are untouched. -- Marek Otahal :o)

[arch-general] Arduino 64 Wiki page
by Neil Munro 21 Dec '10

21 Dec '10

Hello all I have spend the last 3 hours hunting down a way to make my arduino uno work with arch64, and appear to have been successful. Upon noting the arch64 wiki page had been removed I rewrote it. However I imagine its not quite to arch documentation standards, but I would like to get it to that point. It can be found here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arduino_64bit I would be grateful for feedback to help improve the quality of the document and if possible help testing that my experience was not a fluke. Thanks. Neil

[arch-general] updating xorg packages and nvidia packages, now x doesn't start
by Jeffrey Lynn Parke Jr. 20 Dec '10

20 Dec '10

I did a big update on my main arch machine and rebooted, I can't start X anymore. I saw that xorg-xinit and xorg-xauth as well as the nvidia packages were upgraded. Startx gives me a blank screen and switching to the first login (ctrl-alt-F1) shows a never ending "No Protocol Specified" message which finally fails with "xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused" and "Xauth: error in locking authority file /home/user/.Xauthority" I checked my Xorg.0.log file and I see this message listed: (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "nvidia-auto-select" (II) NVIDIA(0): ACPI: > failed to connect to the ACPI event daemon; the daemon (II) NVIDIA(0): may > not be running or the "AcpidSocketPath" X (II) NVIDIA(0): configuration > option may not be set correctly.
