[arch-general] Possibility of including xorg input patch
by Kirill Churin 25 Jul '15

25 Jul '15

Can this patch https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=33142 be applied to Arch's xorg? It solves famous problem https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=865 with broken keyboard input for users who use multiple keyboard layouts without any noticeable side-effects. It's known this patch has been applied in Ubuntu. -- Kirill Churin Jabber: reflexing(a)reflexing.ru, ICQ: 8163230, Skype on demand.

[arch-general] USB power cut in early userspace since recent update
by Sebastian Lipp 17 Aug '14

17 Aug '14

Hi Since yesterdays pacman -Syu I'm unable to boot my system the usual way. My observation on that is the following. In early userspace the USB port's power gets cut for around a second which is indicated by the LED of the external drive I'm booting from. Therefore - as I further assume - recognition of the drive gets lost and decrypting and mounting of root is not possible. When I (un)plug the drive both actions get recognized as such but the device(s) don't get registered. I already guessed and tried to 1. reinstall syslinux bootloader, 2. (realize the power cut and) downgrade kernel, 3. downgrade (lib)systemd and 4. mkinitcpio from a chroot and reboot between each of the steps. Nothing of that helped. I will attach a grep of my pacman.log to show which pkgs where upgraded. There were no errors logged. I will happily provide any further information that might help directing me towards debugging and fixing that problem. Getting rid of the intermediate USB gets me rid of the described problem which is obviously no permanent solution. Thanks a lot. basti

[arch-general] Kernel: include patch for b43?
by Peter Mattern 05 Jul '14

05 Jul '14

Hello. As of Kernel 3.15 a long standing bug in b43 affecting the way it handles rather recent firmware started to become manifest in failure of the driver, see e. g. [0,1]. A patch is available [2] but hasn't made it into 3.15.2. A version of package linux I recompiled applying the patch works flawlessly, imho other workarounds like sticking with 3.14 or using older firmware are less reasonable. So I'd like to ask whether there are any chances to get this patch into the linux package. Attaching a file that can be used in prepare() the usual way (patch -p1 -i "${srcdir}/..."). Regards, Peter Mattern [0] http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/b43-dev/2014-June/003471.html [1] http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=183114 [2] https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git/commit/?id=2fc68…

Hi, today I have run pacman -Syu on my arch server. Systemd was updated from 213 to 214 and now I don't get any new journal entries. I just get the messages from the boot process and that's all. Any ideas? Stefan

[arch-general] Trust This Computer?
by Hunter Jozwiak 01 Jul '14

01 Jul '14

Hi all. I've got an iPod touch fifth generation, iOS 7.1, and I am trying to mount it to my Arch Linux box so I can get all the music off it. However, when I connect the cable, I get an alert from the iPod asking if I trust the computer. I tell it trust, and the computer, running Gnome, says the iPod is locked by a passcode, which is not true. I did install libimobiledevice and gvfs and that didn't help. Any help or pointing in the right direction is very much appreciated.

[arch-general] Docked Lenovo T540p Not Recognizing Dual Monitors
by Jude Lucien 28 Jun '14

28 Jun '14

I unfortunately have a Lenovo T540p laptop and an UltraDock docking station. Plugged into the docking station is a Lenovo monitor via DVI and an Ilyama monitor via VGA. The monitors are not recognised by xrandr as being separate monitors, and the output mirrors each other. The output of xrandr -q: $ xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 4560 x 1620, maximum 32767 x 32767 eDP1 connected 2880x1620+1680+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 193mm 2880x1620 59.96*+ 50.00 2048x1536 60.00 1920x1440 60.00 1856x1392 60.01 1792x1344 60.01 1600x1200 60.00 1400x1050 59.98 1280x1024 60.02 1280x960 60.00 1024x768 60.00 800x600 60.32 56.25 640x480 59.94 VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP2 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 255mm x 255mm 1680x1050 60.00*+ 1024x768 60.00 800x600 60.32 56.25 848x480 60.00 640x480 59.94 HDMI2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) eDP1 is my laptop monitor and DP2 is the Lenovo monitor. Notice the maximum screen size at the top of the output. I notice that I have more screen than I can use - how to set that to actual size as well? But the burning question is how can I get my VGA monitor to be recognised?
