[arch-general] LibreOffice 3.6.3-2 in testing is awfully broken.
by fredbezies 18 Nov '12

18 Nov '12

Hello. I noticed that last testing version of LibreOffice simply doesn't start. When I try to launch it in terminal, I got this : [fred@fredo-arch ~]$ /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libvcllo.so: undefined symbol: _ZNK6icu_5014LEFontInstance10getSubFontEPKDsPiiiR11LEErrorCode [2]+ Exit 127 libreoffice I reported the bug at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/32721 then noticed somebody does it before (even if it was in the wrong category) => https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/32717 Downgrading packages (both icu and Libreoffice ones) simply kills gdm on start. Any idea to get a working libreoffice ? Thanks a lot. -- Frederic Bezies fredbezies(a)gmail.com

[arch-general] kmod install errors with supsec.org repo
by Patrick Buddeberg 18 Nov '12

18 Nov '12

Hello, I'm not sure where the the proper place to direct this is, but I figured this would be a good start. I am getting errors doing a system update while using http://archlinux.supsec.org/ as my first repo. When I move it to second (http://archlinux.surlyjake.com becomes first), everything works alright. I was getting this output every time I tried running pacman -Syu until I switched repos: ====== root# pacman -Syu <snip> :: Retrieving packages from core... kmod-11-2-x86_64 4.2 KiB 21.2K/s 00:00 [----------------------] 4% (24/24) checking package integrity [----------------------] 100% error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package) Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded. root# ====== Anyhow, this is more of a report, as I am fine now. Thanks, -Patrick

After some readings, I installed a plugin which let me control how often netbeans scans, but it is not much improving. I use SUN-Java 1.6, as I need it to build Android (open jre breaks things). I am stick to netbeans for some reasons, and do not understand why it sometimes eat all my CPU.

[arch-general] immediate sleep after resume
by Genes MailLists 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

This started happening sometime after I switched to systemd (tho I am not finger pointing). Upon resume - the laptop immediately sleeps - the second resume is fine. Not every time either. Fresh boot - sleep - resume cycle seems to work fine. Googling suggested putting this in /etc/systemd/login.conf LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=no However this makes no sense to me - as surely systemd knows the difference between the open and close lid events. The argument made was that there was competition between kde and systemd to sleep/resume and this would keep systemd from doing anything. Anyway - above makes no difference :-) Anyone have any ideas? testing repo fully updated - using kde and systemd. gene/

[arch-general] LUKS, SD card reader and initramfs
by Mauro Santos 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

I have a setup where I use LVM on LUKS to encrypt all system partitions (except /boot of course). Currently I have to input the LUKS password every time to unlock the volume, I wanted to be able to get the key from an SD card(1) so I don't have to type the password every single time, but I've run into a problem I haven't been able to solve and I'm out of ideas. Here is what I've done/tried. I have got myself an SD card and confirmed it works fine before trying anything else. I have setup everything according to the wiki to store the key between the MBR and first partition. I've added the cryptkey= entry in the kernel command line. I've added the card reader drivers to the MODULES line in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and rebuilt the initramfs. I've confirmed that the modules have been added. Rebooted to try it out. This is where the problems start, once the drivers for the card reader get loaded I get spammed with messages like: mmcblk0: error -110 transferring data, sector 0, nr 8, cmd response 0x900, card status 0xb00 mmcblk0: error -110 transferring data, sector 1, nr 7, cmd response 0x900, card status 0x0 end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 1 Buffer I/O error on device mmcblk0, logical block 0 This happens even if I don't try to access the card to get the encryption key. The messages only stop after I remove the card. The drivers I have explicitly included in the initramfs are: sdhci-pci and mmc_block. sdhci and mmc_core get pulled as a dependencies of sdhci-pci. I have also tried to include the drivers for the other modules of the card reader, such as memory stick support and firewire since they are all hanging on the same controlled but that didn't make any difference. Since this works fine after the machine has booted I thought I might need to include some udev rule, but grepping through the rules I don't see anything that looks to be needed. The only stuff that comes up is persistent naming link creation and some udisks{,2} stuff that I suppose are meant for icon presentation or something like that. Using 'udevadm monitor' also doesn't show anything that seems to be special, this is what I get when I insert the card: KERNEL[7650.629820] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:07:01.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:b368 (mmc) KERNEL[7650.631034] add /devices/virtual/bdi/179:0 (bdi) UDEV [7650.633731] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:07:01.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:b368 (mmc) KERNEL[7650.634430] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:07:01.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:b368/block/mmcblk0 (block) KERNEL[7650.634494] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:07:01.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:b368/block/mmcblk0/mmcblk0p1 (block) UDEV [7650.635568] add /devices/virtual/bdi/179:0 (bdi) UDEV [7650.747593] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:07:01.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:b368/block/mmcblk0 (block) UDEV [7650.866726] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:07:01.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:b368/block/mmcblk0/mmcblk0p1 (block) The hardware: > lspci -v -s 07:01 07:01.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Ricoh Co Ltd R5C832 IEEE 1394 Controller (rev 05) (prog-if 10 [OHCI]) Subsystem: Packard Bell B.V.

(1) Why SD card? Because my laptop has a card reader and by using it I don't need to occupy a USB port, so when I'm at home I could insert the SD card and forget about it, then when I take the laptop out I don't carry the card with me or I remove it as soon as it isn't needed. -- Mauro Santos

I also use a SD card with the keyfile to unlock / luks volume and works fine, no need to udev rules. My setup also failed at first, I needed to follow the module chain dependency and found a needed module not present in initramfs, just added it and started working like a charm.

Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] [community] migration guide to nymeria

Link to the arch-dev-public thread: https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2012-November/02403… I just wanted to ask if someone will update the wiki once the move is done. If I understand it correctly, info on e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Trusted_User_Guidelines or https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Trusted_User_Guidelines#Accessing_… will have to be changed from 'sigurd' to 'nymeria', right?
