[arch-general] blueman failed to send file to device without obexftp service
by XeCycle 19 Feb '12

19 Feb '12

Hello, I have an Android 2.3 phone, and blueman failed to send file to it. Nor did obexfs mount the phone. After some check, I found the phone doesn't support OBEX FTP, but supports OBEX Object Push. So I managed to send the file with ussp-push. Is there a workaround for blueman? Or have I misconfigured something? Thank you. -- Carl Lei (XeCycle) Department of Physics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University OpenPGP public key: 7795E591 Fingerprint: 1FB6 7F1F D45D F681 C845 27F7 8D71 8EC4 7795 E591

[arch-general] rebuilding shadow 4.1.4.3-5 fails DSO problem with libattr - where to patch?
by David C. Rankin 19 Feb '12

19 Feb '12

Guys The update to shadow has caused problems and I needed to rebuild shadow 4.1.4.3-5. I have run into the DSO error regarding libattr. I know I need to update the Makefile.am or patch the Makefile after the ./configure, but I'm not having any luck. The error is: /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,--hash-style=gnu -lcrypt -o useradd useradd.o ../libmisc/libmisc.a ../lib/libshadow.la -lpam -lpam_misc -lacl libtool: link: gcc -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z -Wl,relro -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -o .libs/useradd useradd.o ../libmisc/libmisc.a ../lib/.libs/libshadow.so -lcrypt -lpam -lpam_misc -lacl /usr/bin/ld: ../libmisc/libmisc.a(copydir.o): undefined reference to symbol 'attr_copy_fd@@ATTR_1.1' /usr/bin/ld: note: 'attr_copy_fd@@ATTR_1.1' is defined in DSO /lib/libattr.so.1 so try adding it to the linker command line /lib/libattr.so.1: could not read symbols: Invalid operation collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I think I need the explicit -llibattr in the CFLAGS line of the Makefile, but trying to patch it after ./configure isn't working. How do I properly handle this? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] boot hangs on hal load after updates today.
by David C. Rankin 17 Feb '12

17 Feb '12

All, Strange behavior on boot with both standard and LTS kernels. After updates today. Boot hangs on hal load when encountered in DAEMONS line of rc.conf. hal IS started, but boot hangs with both the normal kernel and LTS. This behavior is confirmed when starting hal manually. This occurs with both the old hal 0.5.14-6 and version 0.5.14-7 from aur. This stops the boot process dead in its tracks requiring a ctrl+alt+del to kill the hang. I had to boot to 'single' user mode to bring my box up enough to remove hal from the daemons line. Any ideas which package may be causing this? I know hal is on the way out, but it is needed currently for development of Trinity. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] systemd's journal and syslog-ng

I know I do not longer need to run a syslog daemon, but I like my logs in human readable form. So, being a obedient ml reader, I configured my syslog-ng to read from said new socket unix-dgram("/run/systemd/journal/socket"); instead of the old /dev/log. But since then my logs are incomplete at best. So here are my questions: - Why are the logs read from /run/systemd/journal/socket incomplete and how do I fix this? - Why do I even have to change the socket? /dev/log is still there and still works like a charm.
