[arch-general] update to cups 1.5.2 - test print OK, but nothing else prints - jobs just sit in que until canceled
by David C. Rankin 12 Feb '12

12 Feb '12

Guys, Cups 1.5.2 update caused all user submitted jobs to stick in que and not print. However, if I use the web interface and print a test page or print a test page from kde print manager - everything works. I have been through the cupsd.conf page a cups.org and though my config and I can't find any reason jobs would just stop printing. Is anyone else having problems submitting jobs to a network cups server. With LogLevel set to debug, I get the following in error_log: D [10/Feb/2012:13:58:14 -0600] cupsdAcceptClient: 17 from 192.168.6.102:631 (IPv4) D [10/Feb/2012:13:58:14 -0600] cupsdReadClient: 17 GET /printers/LaserJet.ppd HTTP/1.1 D [10/Feb/2012:13:58:14 -0600] cupsdSetBusyState: newbusy="Active clients and printing jobs", busy="Printing jobs" D [10/Feb/2012:13:58:14 -0600] cupsdAuthorize: No authentication data provided.

[arch-general] Alps touchpad problems
by mike cloaked 11 Feb '12

11 Feb '12

I am trying to get a laptop touchpad working properly with arch fully up to date as of today. The machine is a recent Dell Vostro and has an Alps touchpad. I can't get vertical scrolling to work in KDE, and the mouse cursor occasionally moves erratically. I have seen previous posts some time back recommending installing the psmouse-alps package from AUR, and indeed it would appear that the 3.3 kernel may have a working psmouse module. However for the moment with kernel 3.2.5 the touchpad is detected as P/S 2 Generic - instead of the correct detection. I have tried installing psmouse-alps and rebooting but it made no difference so I uninstalled it again. the Xorg log has: [ 16.850] (II) config/udev: Adding input device PS/2 Generic Mouse (/dev/inpu t/event8) [ 16.850] (**) PS/2 Generic Mouse: Applying InputClass "evdev pointer catchal l" [ 16.850] (II) Using input driver 'evdev' for 'PS/2 Generic Mouse' [ 16.850] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so [ 16.850] (**) PS/2 Generic Mouse: always reports core events [ 16.850] (**) PS/2 Generic Mouse: Device: "/dev/input/event8" [ 16.850] (--) PS/2 Generic Mouse: Found 3 mouse buttons [ 16.850] (--) PS/2 Generic Mouse: Found relative axes [ 16.850] (--) PS/2 Generic Mouse: Found x and y relative axes [ 16.850] (II) PS/2 Generic Mouse: Configuring as mouse [ 16.850] (**) PS/2 Generic Mouse: YAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5 [ 16.850] (**) PS/2 Generic Mouse: EmulateWheelButton: 4, EmulateWheelInertia: 10, EmulateWheelTimeout: 200 [ 16.850] (**) Option "config_info" "udev:/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input8/event8" [ 16.850] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "PS/2 Generic Mouse" (type: MOUSE, id 12) [ 16.850] (II) PS/2 Generic Mouse: initialized for relative axes.

Does anyone have current experience with this issue and know the best way to work around the problem until the 3.3 kernel is released? Thanks -- mike c

[arch-general] thinkpad_acpi out of date?
by Genes MailLists 11 Feb '12

11 Feb '12

Hi: (1) Fully updated with test repos. Thinkpad W520. I have kernel 3.2.5-1. I see this in logs: lap3 kernel: [282571.053156] thinkpad_acpi: unknown possible thermal alarm or keyboard event received lap3 kernel: [282571.053160] thinkpad_acpi: unhandled HKEY event 0x6040 lap3 kernel: [282571.053161] thinkpad_acpi: please report the conditions when this event happened to ibm-acpi-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net (2) lsmod shows thinkpad_acpi is running. I found in /lib/modules was kernel/drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.ko.gz and possibly kernel/drivers/acpi/acpi_pad.ko.gz The first one seems to be version 0.24 but I cannot tell if its the 0.24-20110604 version or earlier - at least by poking at the .ko. (3) http://sourceforge.net/projects/ibm-acpi/files/thinkpad-acpi/0.24-20110604/ Suggests this is/may be fixed in this version - could our version of thinkpad_acpi be out of date? Thanks gene

[arch-general] Ad hoc
by Ralf Mardorf 09 Feb '12

09 Feb '12

The PPPoE connection works after running '# ifconfig eth0 up && netcfg pppoe' as usual. After preparing ad hoc [1] I loaded the module by '# modprobe rtl8192se'. Then I tried to run 'newlan -n', but it doesn't work [2]. 1. How can I run 'newlan'? 2. Do I need to reboot to load the firmware? 3. Do I have to change the lines modprobe -r ath_pci modprobe ath_pci autocreate=adhoc to something like modprobe -r ath_pci modprobe ath_usb autocreate=adhoc when using an USB device? [root@archlinux src]# modprobe -r ath_pci FATAL: Module ath_pci not found. [root@archlinux src]# modprobe ath_usb autocreate=adhoc FATAL: Module ath_usb not found.

[arch-general] Can't rebuild audiofile 3.2 from PKGBUILD?
by David C. Rankin 08 Feb '12

08 Feb '12

Guys, I have almost survived the updates from today, but the last issue I have is audiofile 3.2->3.3 kills sound in trinity and kills basket-notepads. I am trying to rebuild from the 3.2 pkgbuild, but the build fails: /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -std=gnu99 -march=i686 -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 -o power power.o ../libaudiofile/libaudiofile.la libtool: link: gcc -std=gnu99 -march=i686 -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/power power.o ../libaudiofile/.libs/libaudiofile.so /usr/bin/ld: power.o: undefined reference to symbol 'log10@@GLIBC_2.0' /usr/bin/ld: note: 'log10@@GLIBC_2.0' is defined in DSO /lib/libm.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line /lib/libm.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [power] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/david/arch/pkg/abs/audiofile/src/audiofile-0.3.2/examples' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/david/arch/pkg/abs/audiofile/src/audiofile-0.3.2' make: *** [all] Error 2 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting... I am using the pkgbuild from: http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk/PKGBUILD?h… I can see the main problem is: /usr/bin/ld: power.o: undefined reference to symbol 'log10@@GLIBC_2.0' /usr/bin/ld: note: 'log10@@GLIBC_2.0' is defined in DSO /lib/libm.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line but how do I modify the PKGBUILD to account for this? Shouldn't audiofile be backwards compatible from 3.3->3.2? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
