[arch-general] renice Bash at login
by Leonidas Spyropoulos 24 Apr '12

24 Apr '12

Hi all, I searched around with no help so if you can help out: I am trying to renice the user bash on Login. So every time someone logs through SSH to the server to get a lower priority than normal. Is that possible? Is it a good idea in general? A server usually is not to be used from users, only login sporadic to do updates and various maintenance work Thanks Leonidas -- Caution: breathing may be hazardous to your health. #include <stdio.h> int main(){printf("%s","\x4c\x65\x6f\x6e\x69\x64\x61\x73");}

[arch-general] fortune-mod against fortune-fefe :-)
by FGr 23 Apr '12

23 Apr '12

Hi, the fortune-mod package is orphan <https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/fortune-mod/>, so we could use an alternative fortune program. I suggest using the Fefe's fortune program with my patch <http://fgr.bitbucket.org/im/fortune/index.html>. An archive of fortune cookies is available at <fgr.bitbucket.org/im/fortune/fortune-fefe-fortunes.tar.xz> (just copy all the content within the directory "/usr/share/fortune/". it's like <http://packages.debian.org/sid/fortunes> it includes my fortune files as well). Warning: I don't ROT13 the offensive quotes. There are 27,584 messages (counted by the command: grep -R '^%$' * | wc -l) Regards

Hi, dear arch developers, Would you please update GCC packages?

[arch-general] virtualbox-modules-lts?
by David Rosenstrauch 21 Apr '12

21 Apr '12

I see there's a virtualbox-modules package, but that's for the mainline (3.2 series) kernel. I don't see a similar package for the LTS (3.0 series) kernel. Does one exist somewhere that I'm missing it? If not, how does one use virtualbox on Arch with the LTS kernel? Do we need to build the kernel module from source by hand? Thanks, DR

[arch-general] Recent network issues on one of my computers
by Magnus Therning 20 Apr '12

20 Apr '12

After a bit of fiddling with systemd I now seem to have one of my systems back in working order, but not the second. They were of course both fully working before the recent systemd issues. They are fairly similar in setup (only difference, besides HW, is one uses LVM and the other doesn't). However, on one I have a fully functioning network, and on the other it's only half-functioning. The problem is I don't really know where to start looking for solving this. By "half functioning" I mean: 1. I get an IP via dhcp, using wicd. Wireless network. 2. I can make full connections (SSH) to other computers on the local networkd (using IP and mdns both work). 3. I can ping www.google.com and it looks like this: $ ping www.google.com PING www.l.google.com (209.85.173.104) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from lpp01m01-in-f104.1e100.net (209.85.173.104): icmp_req=1 ttl=55 time=36.4 ms 64 bytes from lpp01m01-in-f104.1e100.net (209.85.173.104): icmp_req=2 ttl=55 time=33.6 ms ... However, what I can't do is point chromium to www.google.com and get it to download the page. Chromium says DNS lookup fails. Pacman fails stating the same reason. Point 3 above suggests resolve.conf is correct, and it is indeed pointing to the wireless router like it's supposed to. Any suggestions on where to start looking for solving this? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Perl is another example of filling a tiny, short-term need, and then being a real problem in the longer term. -- Alan Kay

[arch-general] [signoff] ipw2200-fw-1.3-7 and ipw2100-fw-3.1-5
by Tom Gundersen 20 Apr '12

20 Apr '12

Hi guys, These packages have been in testing for some time without any signoffs, so signoffs from users as well as devs would be appreciated. The only change should be that the firmware has moved from /lib/firmware to /usr/lib/firmware. Cheers, Tom

Re: [arch-general] ASLR and PIE wider adoption.

Impossible to implement without patching toolchain defaults (Never going to happen) or wrapping the compiler. Fedora/Ubuntu handle it on a per-package basis.

[arch-general] Cannot boot since latest -Syu
by "Jérôme M. Berger" 19 Apr '12

19 Apr '12

Hi, Since yesterday's upgrade, I cannot boot using the "normal" image. The fallback image still works. The issue is that my RAID arrays are not recognized. I have checked that the mdadm hook is still present in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf I have tried re-running mkinitcpio -p linux -> no change. I have tried downgrading mkinitcpio to the previous version -> mkinitcpio complains about a missing file: /lib/modprobe.d/usb-load-ehci-first.conf then neither image works. I have tried downgrading the kernel -> no change. Is there something that I need to change in my configuration or should I file a bug? Thanks, Jerome -- mailto:jeberger@free.fr http://jeberger.free.fr Jabber: jeberger(a)jabber.fr
