by Jordan Windsor 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

Hello, I lost my LocalSettings.php file so I'm going through the MediaWiki installation again, I'm up to the "Connect to database" stage, I enter "/srv/http/data" for the database directory and "testdb" as the name, after I click continue it displays a error message saying it can't create the directory because the parent directory isn't writable, I've already tried setting all involved directories to 777 but it still displays the same error message. /srv: total 1 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 96 Apr 8 04:18 . drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 536 Apr 8 04:17 .. dr-xr-xr-x 2 root ftp 48 Apr 2 09:11 ftp drwxr-xr-x 4 http http 136 Apr 12 01:25 http /srv/http: total 4 drwxr-xr-x 4 http http 136 Apr 12 01:25 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 96 Apr 8 04:18 .. drwxrwxrwx 2 http http 48 Apr 12 01:25 data drwx------ 2 root root 80 Apr 12 00:29 data.orig -rw-r--r-- 1 http http 84 Jan 17 00:43 index.html /srv/http/data: total 0 drwxrwxrwx 2 http http 48 Apr 12 01:25 . drwxr-xr-x 4 http http 136 Apr 12 01:25 ..

hi all, i received the attached message. I don't know much about email headers but it seems to have all the headers as if posted from arch linux servers. Furthermore the address gerolde.archlinux.org points to an irrelevant page. George Nikolopoulos

[arch-general] Need help understanding new "make install" failures - libtool: install: error: relink `blah...la' ??
by David C. Rankin 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Guys, After the latest updates, I'm getting a number of package() "make install" failures on packages that have, until now, packaged just fine. Is anybody else experiencing this on packages you build? If so, do you know what is causing it -- and how to fix? I've searched and found that sometimes reordering the link commands in the Makefile can help, but I can't figure out why things have packaged just fine up until now and are now failing. Since everything built fine with the build() command -- why the failure on package()?? I've also read another solution is to do away with the .la files completely and replace with a package config setup. However, before I try and tackle something like that, I want to figure out what broke. The failures during "make install" look like this (gwenview and tdegames examples:) the failure: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltdeinit_gwenview collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status libtool: install: error: relink `gwenview.la' with the above command before installing it the preceding context: libtool: relink: g++ -fPIC -DPIC -shared -nostdlib /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0/../../../../lib/crti.o /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0/crtbeginS.o .libs/gwenview_dummy.o -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/opt/trinity/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/opt/tqt3/lib -L/build/src/gwenview/src/gvcore/.libs -L/opt/trinity/lib -L/opt/tqt3/lib -L/usr/lib/mysql -L/usr/X11R6/lib64 -L/build/pkg/opt/trinity/lib -ltdeinit_gwenview -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0/../../../../lib -lgwenviewcore -ltdeprint -lkmediaplayer -ljpeg -lexiv2 -lkipi -lkio -ltdeui -ltdecore -L/build/pkg/usr/lib -lkutils -L/build/pkg/opt/tqt3/lib -ltqt-mt -lpq -lmysqlclient -lXrender -lXrandr -lXcursor -lXinerama -lXft -lfreetype -lfontconfig -ldl -lpng -lz -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE -ltqt -lpthread -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0 -L/lib/../lib -L/usr/lib/../lib -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0/../../.. -lstdc++ -lm -lc -lgcc_s /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0/crtendS.o /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0/../../../../lib/crtn.o -O2 -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,--allow-shlib-undefined -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z -Wl,relro -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -Wl,-soname -Wl,gwenview.so -o .libs/gwenview.so libtdeinit_gwenview is right where it should be: 23:42 archangel:/dat_e/chroot/david/build/src/gwenview> find . -name "libtdeinit_gwenview*" ./src/app/libtdeinit_gwenview.la ./src/app/.libs/libtdeinit_gwenview.lai ./src/app/.libs/libtdeinit_gwenview.soT ./src/app/.libs/libtdeinit_gwenview.so ./src/app/.libs/libtdeinit_gwenview.la The tdegames failure (all in order): libtool: relink: g++ -fPIC -DPIC -shared -nostdlib /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0/../../../../lib/crti.o /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0/crtbeginS.o .libs/kolf_dummy.o -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/opt/trinity/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/opt/tqt3/lib -L/build/src/tdegames/kolf/.libs -L/build/src/tdegames/libtdegames/.libs -L/opt/trinity/lib -L/opt/tqt3/lib -L/build/pkg/opt/trinity/lib -ltdeinit_kolf -lkolf -ltdegames -lkdnssd -ltdeprint -lkio -lartskde -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0 -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0/../../../../lib -L/lib/../lib -L/usr/lib/../lib -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0/../../.. -lstdc++ -lm -lc -lgcc_s /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0/crtendS.o /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0/../../../../lib/crtn.o -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z -Wl,relro -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -Wl,-soname -Wl,kolf.so -o .libs/kolf.so /build/src/tdegames/kolf/.libs/libkolf.so: file not recognized: File truncated collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status libtool: install: error: relink `kolf.la' with the above command before installing it make[3]: *** [install-tdeinitLTLIBRARIES] Error 1 make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c -p .libs/libkolf.so.1.2.0T /build/pkg/opt/trinity/lib/libkolf.so.1.2.0 libtool: install: (cd /build/pkg/opt/trinity/lib && { ln -s -f libkolf.so.1.2.0 libkolf.so.1 || { rm -f libkolf.so.1 && ln -s libkolf.so.1.2.0 libkolf.so.1;

[arch-general] usb disk not visible
by Andrea Crotti 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

I have a problem with an external USB disk here, which is a WD 500Gb bought last year. Recently I decided finally to format it to ext3, since I'm using Linux everywhere, but now I don't seem to see it from my dell latitude. On my mini dell everything works perfectly, but on the latitude I get only this from dmesg [ 8916.825474] usb 2-1.2: USB disconnect, device number 11 [ 8917.013895] usb 2-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 12 using ehci_hcd [ 8919.126604] usb 2-1.2: USB disconnect, device number 12 [ 8919.314274] usb 2-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 13 using ehci_hcd and fdisk doesn't detect anything: [andrea@dell]$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb Any idea of what it could be?

08 Apr '12

Hello! I am psi-plus package ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40365) maintainer. Psi+ is very powerfull jabber client written in Qt (Psi fork). Psi+ is in the Ubuntu repos: http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/psi-plus . Are there any plans to add Psi+ to community? I made split-package for psi-plus and psi-plus-plugins: http://pastebin.com/dKcRGWFs psi-plus package in the aur we can rename to psi-plus-git, because of it fetches sources from github.
