[arch-general] RME cards: How to show board revision and the loaded firmware version?
by Ralf Mardorf 13 May '13

13 May '13

Preliminary question and regarding to this question multiposted: Does anybody still use a RME HDSPe AIO ;)? Hi, since the issues I get for my RME HDSPe AIO didn't became less, but more within the last two years, I cleaned a primary partition to install XP, just to test, if there are issues caused by the mobo, that will appear, even when not using a *nix driver, but the proprietary driver and latest RME firmware. I'm a Linux only user, so sometime ago I installed FreeBSD, just to test, if the RME card isn't borked, since on Linux only 2 ADAT channels do work, fortunately all 8 ADAT channels work, using the FreeBSD driver (no TotalMix). I bought the card, because it was recommended by members of the Linux audio community. Don't get me wrong, the blame is on me, I decided to buy the card and had no time to use it within the first weeks, I only want to point out, that I did research before I bought the card. I wonder, if there are different revisions of the RME board? I know I've written this several times, but somebody might not have read it and it's a while ago since I ask for the situation of this card on other machines. Is there a command that shows the board revision and used firmware version? I run my Arch install without the alsa-firmware package and installed it now. $ uname -r 3.8.11-rt8-1-rt $ pacman -Q alsa-firmware error: package 'alsa-firmware' was not found $ sudo pacman -Syu alsa-firmware warning: ardour: ignoring package upgrade (2.8.16-1 => 3.1-1) alsa-firmware-1.0.27-2 $ pacman -Q alsa-firmware alsa-firmware 1.0.27-2 Can anybody use a HDSPe AIO on Linux with all available sample rates? Store alsamixer settings? Does hdspeconf run? Use latency <= 10.7 ms? Use any latency even => 10.7 ms with getting absolutely no xruns? Use all ADAT channels?

[arch-general] problems while upgrading kdelibs
by Shridhar Daithankar 13 May '13

Hello, While upgrading kdelibs-4.10.2-4 x86_64, I am getting errors such as these.. kdelibs: /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.kde.auth.conf exists in filesystem kdelibs: /etc/xdg/menus/kde-applications.menu exists in filesystem kdelibs: /usr/bin/checkXML exists in filesystem kdelibs: /usr/bin/kbuildsycoca4 exists in filesystem kdelibs: /usr/bin/kconfig_compiler exists in filesystem kdelibs: /usr/bin/kcookiejar4 exists in filesystem kdelibs: /usr/bin/kde4-config exists in filesystem kdelibs: /usr/bin/kded4 exists in filesystem There are total 3503 such errors, all for kdelibs only. As of now pacman reports that none of them are owned by any packages but thats a suspicious claim since it includes files like /usr/bin/kbuildsycoca4 and /usr/bin/kcookiejar4. Initially I thought it was a package sync error and any updated packages will be pushed soon. But after 4 days the situation persists. Has anybody else seen this? Should I just use --force? TIA.. Reference - generate file # pacman -Syu --noconfirm > pacman.upgrade.log 2>&1 - check error # grep -c exists pacman.upgrade.log 3503 - check conflicting packages # grep exists pacman.upgrade.log |grep -v kdelibs - check package ownership for file in $(grep exists pacman.upgrade.log|cut -f2 -d' ');do pacman -Qo $file;done 2>&1|grep -vi "No package owns" -- Regards Shridhar

[arch-general] Current "CPPFLAGS=-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2" break some builds
by Leonid Isaev 07 May '13

07 May '13

Hi, With gcc 4.8.0-4 I can no longer build core/links package from ABS, with SSL support. The issue is _not_related to makepkg (as I originally thought), even plain ./configure fails if I export CPPFLAGS=-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2, regardless of the content of {C,CXX,LD}FLAGS. Here is the error: -------------------- $ ./configure --with-ssl [ ... ] checking for openssl... yes checking OPENSSL_CFLAGS... checking OPENSSL_LIBS... -lssl -lcrypto checking for OpenSSL... no checking for OpenSSL... no configure: error: OpenSSL not found $ cat config.log [ ... ] configure:8095: checking for openssl configure:8102: checking OPENSSL_CFLAGS configure:8107: checking OPENSSL_LIBS configure:8139: checking for OpenSSL configure:8150: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 conftest.c -lssl -lcrypto -lm 1>&5 In file included from configure:8143:0: confdefs.h:8:16: error: duplicate 'unsigned' #define size_t unsigned ^ configure: failed program was: #line 8143 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" #include <openssl/ssl.h> int main() { SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms() ; return 0; } -------------------- With gcc 4.7.2 all builds fine with Arch's default makepkg.conf, i.e. no "duplicate unsigned error". Also, unsetting CPPFLAGS allows a successfull build. Since core/links has been successfully rebuilt, what was the gcc version? ANd can anyone else confirm the above issue? TIA, L. -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key: 0x164B5A6D Fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D

[arch-general] Kernel panic at boot after hard reset: not syncing. No init found.
by Paul Hervot 07 May '13

07 May '13

Hello, I know some people had this problem before but no solution seems to help me. I was playing Kerbal Space Program, the game filled up my RAM, my computer was no longer responding (it happens to me a few times a month if I forgot to close firefox before playing for example). I had to hard shutdown, then on the boot I get this kernel panic. (Here is a screenshot: http://dettorer.net/kernel_panic.jpg) The init= parameter given by grub is correct: /usr/lib/systemd/systemd and I double checked the root= parameter, it is by uuid but I also tried by device name (/dev/sda7) and by label. I use three partitions: sda5: /boot (sda6: swap) sda7: / sda8: /home `fdisk -l /dev/sda` http://paste.awesom.eu/ux8 `ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid` http://paste.awesom.eu/85U Using the output of a new `grub-mkconfig` didn't fix it either. Here is my grub.cfg: http://paste.awesom.eu/aDR I tried running `mkinitcpio -v -p linux` (I use the 3.8 kernel from core but also tried the 3.9 from testing, same result) Here is my mkinitcpio.conf: http://paste.awesom.eu/yVH and the output of `mkinitcpio -v -p linux` http://paste.awesom.eu/6f3 I checked the filesystems of my / and /boot partitions with badblocks and fsck, no problem from here. (I also tried reformating my swap with mkswap as the second line of kernel panic mention swapper even though I didn't understand that line, I just gave it a try). I don't know what to do now, my guess is that the initramfs can't mount the root partition but the root= parameter is correct and everything mount well under a liveCD (this is from where I try to fix it).

[arch-general] libxml2 out of date

Hi, Is there a reason (other than lack of time) that libxml2 has not been updated from 2.8 to 2.9 (now 2.9.1)? Regards -- Ross Lagerwall

[arch-general] Failed to mount real root device
by Bytecounter 07 May '13

07 May '13

Hi @all I tried to boot archlinux 2013.04.01 from CD. On my laptop all seems ok, but on a thin client an error occurs: "Failed to mount real root device" This is the output: :: Device ,/dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201304' mounted successfully :: Mounting /run/archiso/cowspace (tmpfs) filesystem, size=75%... :: running late hook [archiso_pxe_common] :: running cleanup hook [archiso_shutdown] :: running cleanup hook [udev] ERROR: Failed to mount real root device Bailing out, . What happens? Remember, please, it is the original ISO, not an installed system! Other systems boot without errors from this CD. Some hardware information: CPU AMD GeodeT LX 800 GPU Integrated in the CPU RAM 512MB Thank you for any tips Mathias

[arch-general] Linode with stock linux-lts
by Patrick Donnelly 07 May '13

Does anyone have this working with the latest grub+linux-lts? I've been trying to follow the steps on [1] but have had no success. I've been using grub-common instead of grub. [1] https://forum.linode.com/viewtopic.php?t=8376 -- - Patrick Donnelly

I met the similar case once, chroot from a livecd and rm /tmp/* reinstall linux, reinstall syslinux(my bootloader) and syslinux-install_update -iam solved that .
