[arch-general] udevd related warning after initscripts update
by Mauro Santos 23 Oct '11

23 Oct '11

After the latest initscripts update I get a warning (?) from udevd (?) when shutting down, it goes like this: ... Deactivating Swap [Done] Sending SIGTERM to processes [Busy] udevd[pid]: 'udisks-part-id /dev/sda2' [pid] terminated by signal 15 (terminated) [Done] Saving random seed [Done] ... In my case sda2 is the swap partition, nothing seems to break as swap still gets enabled when the machine boots but I was wondering if this is expected and if this might cause trouble for some corner case. -- Mauro Santos

[arch-general] What's wrong with the xorg-apps packages group?
by Ricardo Catalinas Jiménez 23 Oct '11

23 Oct '11

Hi, With the command `pacman -Qm' it shows me `xorg-apps' as a foreign package, but this doesn't happen with other groups I have installed like `texlive-lang'. What makes different to `xorg-apps'? Just curious... Regards -- Ricardo (http://r.untroubled.be/)

[arch-general] Is /etc/locale.conf optional in the last upgrade?
by Ricardo Catalinas Jiménez 23 Oct '11

23 Oct '11

I did a system upgrade. So /etc/locale.conf is optional, right? I just create it if necessary, but it is not created by default, isn't it? And if I understand correctly, LOCALE is been used as always from /etc/rc.conf if /etc/locale.conf doesn't exist, does it? Thanks in advance, regards. -- Ricardo (http://r.untroubled.be/)

[arch-general] arch4ec2 - EC2 AMI bootstrapping scripts
by Peter Schuller 23 Oct '11

23 Oct '11

Hi, I have scripted from-scratch bootstrapping of EC2 AMI:s for Arch: https://github.com/scode/arch4ec2 Feedback appreciated. It was originally based on https://github.com/yejun/ec2build Currently it's only tested on 32 bit and I have only created a pre-bootstrapped image in the eu-west-1 region. I figure better to wait for some initial feedback before creating images for all the permutations. -- / Peter Schuller (@scode, http://worldmodscode.wordpress.com)

[arch-general] syslog-ng ignores filter boolean logic
by Leonid Isaev 22 Oct '11

22 Oct '11

Hi, I just updated syslog-ng 3.2 -> 3.3 and noticed that my iptables logs go into every possible logfile, i.e. /var/log/{messages,kernel,iptables}.log. This is despite the fact that syslog-ng.conf contains lines like: filter f_kernel { facility(kern) and not filter(f_iptables); }; I tried modifying the rules in filter f_iptables() and moving this filter before f_kernel and f_messages (by default it is after), but still get firewall logs everywhere :( Does anyone have this problem? Thanks. -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key ID: 164B5A6D Key fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D

[arch-general] problem with qingy - broken after logout
by J. Bakshi 22 Oct '11

22 Oct '11

Dear list, I have come from the debian world. I am a debian user and stick to the light-weight applications since beginning. I have found arch wiki/tutorial etc... are extremely knowledge based.. hence I have joined the list to gain my knowledge and experience and also to get help on some critical issues. I am using quingy as a framebuffer login manager. It runs well. But when I logout from the console; the qingy comes back with a complete broken look.. where no input is possible. qingy has some resolution issue which I have fixed by editing /etc/directfbrc with the following `````````````` mode=1024x768-76 depth=32 `````````````` But still suffering with this broken qingy after logout. Has anyone have any clue to fix it ? Thanks

[arch-general] Samba: Access Denied
by Eric Griffith 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

So I'm trying to figure out why Samba won't allow me to share the folder: /home/admin/data on my home server; but it will share: /home/ just fine. /home/admin/data is chmodd'ed 777 because its gonna be the 'public share' folder with nothing personal in it, the user is admin, the group is users. Whenever I try to access the folder from my laptop TO the server; I get "Access Denied" Relevant SMB.conf section: [Public] path = /home/admin/data/ available= yes browsable = yes public = yes writable = yes create mask = 0777 guest ok = yes [admin@server ~]$ ls -l total 12 drwxrwxrwx 2 admin users 4096 Oct 21 13:09 data drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 21 12:58 ftp drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 21 13:49 http [admin@server ~]$ Just incase this is the issue: the permissions on /home/admin (the admin folder specifically) are [admin@server home]$ ls -l total 4 drwx------ 5 admin users 4096 Oct 21 13:53 admin [admin@server home]$ So could the problem be that /home/admin's permissions wont allow me to share a subfolder, even though the subfolder's permissions are fine? If so; what would be an okay permission setup to use for /home/admin so that I CAN share /home/admin/data, without letting everyone have access to my overall /home? The reason im doing Samba instead of NFS is because there's windows machines on the network as well

[arch-general] netcfg wlan connection renewal
by Philipp 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

Hi there, I use netcfg for my university wlan (eduroam). It works fine for a while but after a couple of minutes I get disconnected and need to reconnect manually. I think that happens pretty regularly, so I assume that some kind of connection renewal doesn't work for some reason. Any idea what could be wrong, how to fix it or how to reconnect automatically? Regards, Philipp
