[arch-general] lxc: systemd-udev-trigger resets host kbd & mouse settings
by Carl Schaefer 19 Apr '14

19 Apr '14

I've just started playing with lxc, and found that if I create a container with: # lxc-create -n arch -t archlinux and then start it: # lxc-start -n arch it resets my X keyboard map and mouse acceleration settings (which are set by setxkbmap/xset/xinput), though mouse button remapping done by xmodmap is not affected. I tracked it as far as the execution of: /usr/bin/udevadm trigger --type=devices --action=add in /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-udev-trigger.service, which seems to write "add" to most of the "uevent" files under /sys/devices. I don't know the reason for this, especially in a container, but disabling the whole udev trigger service in the container keeps the host X input settings intact without breaking anything obvious in the container (and the container boots a lot faster now, too). I'd appreciate any thoughts on what systemd-udev-trigger is doing, whether it's appropriate in a container, and if there's a better way to keep a container from changing X input settings on the host.

Readers, IBM Java was installed into the directory 'usr/local': $ /usr/local/java/jre/bin/java -version java version "1.8.0" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build pxi3280ea-20130422_01) IBM J9 VM (build 2.7, JRE 1.8.0 Linux x86-32 20130419_145797 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled) J9VM - R27_Java827_Beta_3_20130419_2138_B145797 JIT - r13.b02_20130419_36653 GC - R27_Java827_Beta_3_20130419_2138_B145797 J9CL - 20130419_145797) JCL - 20130410_01 based on Oracle jdk8-b80 The file 'bashrc' was edited: GNU nano 2.2.6 File: ./.bashrc # .bashrc # User specific aliases and functions # Source global definitions if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc fi export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java/jre/bin/java After saving the bashrc file, sign-out and sign-in, the java program is not accessible via command terminal 'java -version', the entire path has to be entered. What is my mistake please?

[arch-general] KDE update and baloo
by Genes Lists 19 Apr '14

19 Apr '14

After the update to 4.13 - i have baloo sucking up cpu cylces. I did go to the desktop search and add every single file system/directory to the 'dont scan' list. So there should be nothing left to scan. Didn't help - it's still running 2 hours later ... anyone know how to stop this selfish cpu hog? thanks!

Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] providing grsecurity in [community]

My reply to the arch-dev-public discussion. > I'd say an unofficial repo is the way to go for the time being. > linux-grsec in the AUR only has 44 votes, so it is not screaming out for > inclusion in the repos. Alan, please also include 64 votes for AppArmor and 19 for SELinux. It sums up to 127. As Daniel said, everyone will be happy to drop their AppArmors and SELinuxes to whatever the official repo will provide. Anyway, votes have rarely been a reason for moving packages from AUR into community. It seems we are now facing a situation where the number of votes is a hard requirement for the package to make its way into community. It has never been a case, and I hope it doesn't happen now. Some TU is interested in maintaining linux-grsec, it won't affect anybody else he claims, so I don't see what the big deal is. -- Kind regards, Damian Nowak StratusHost www.AtlasHost.eu
