[arch-general] Restart systemd related services on update
by Christian Hesse 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

Hello everybody, on systemd package update systemd.install is run, which calls 'systemctl --system daemon-reexec'. This replaces pid 1 with a new process of updated systemd. However systemd comes with a lot of helper daemons (systemd-udevd, systemd-journald, systemd-logind, ...). These are not restarted. For systemd-213-9 systemd-udevd has a device-mapper fix that takes place only if system is rebooted or 'systemd restart systemd-udevd' is run manually. Any reason this is not done automatically? -- main(a){char*c=/* Schoene Gruesse */"B?IJj;MEH" "CX:;",b;for(a/* Chris get my mail address: */=0;b=c[a++];) putchar(b-1/(/* gcc -o sig sig.c && ./sig */b/42*2-3)*42);}

[arch-general] Odd Problem After Install
by Hunter Jozwiak 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

Hi all. After installing Arch and getting everything all nice and setup, I've hit a bit of an issue. When I boot in to the system, I get this: Arch: clean, 210545/15269888 files, 2401901/61048873 blocks. This number is permanent, and won't move. It may be an issue after installation of Gnome. I can't change TTY's, either. How do I get rid of this issue?

[arch-general] Mounting cdrom/dvd stopped working after updates in last week or so
by mick 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

Updates I installed in the last week or so have caused this error message to appear instead of the disk being mounted: Error mounting /dev/sr1 at /run/media/mick/VMDVEC_ESSH_ENG1: Command-line `mount -t "iso9660" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=100,iocharset=utf8,mode=0400,dmode=0500" "/dev/sr1" "/run/media/mick/VMDVEC_ESSH_ENG1"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'iso9660' Also when I try to mount my USB hard drive I got the following: Error mounting /dev/sde2 at /run/media/mick/Portable: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=100,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sde2" "/run/media/mick/Portable"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs' Prior to these problems the hard disk would only mount as read only, very useful for a back device. where can I find the solution to these problems?

[arch-general] python2-lockfile signature failure
by Chris Tonkinson 10 Jun '14

Having just refreshed my desktop system with a clean Arch install, I am seeing a signature failure in the python2-lockfile package (dependency for duplicity). Is anyone else seeing this? `pacman --debug` isn't giving me any additional useful information that I can see. Where might I look next? Here's my output: $ sudo pacman -S duplicity resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts...

[arch-general] No longer able to print
by Squall Lionheart 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

Hello, Since about three weeks ago after an update, I have no longer been able to print using CUPS. When I send a job to the print queue, it generates this message: stopped *"The PPD version (5.2.9) is not compatible with Gutenprint 5.2.10."* I was unable to find anything helpful through the search engines. Was there a package split for older drivers, or perhaps something else I need to install to get this to work again? Running linux 3.14.6-1 and: $ pacman -Qs cups local/cups 1.7.3-3 local/cups-filters 1.0.54-1 local/libcups 1.7.3-3 $ pacman -Qs gutenprint local/gutenprint 5.2.10-1 $ pacman -Qs ppd local/foomatic-db 3:20140324-1 local/foomatic-db-engine 3:20140324-1 $ pacman -Qs hplip local/hplip 3.14.6-1 Thank you Squall -- Yesterday is history.

[arch-general] Starting gpg-agent from systemd?
by Magnus Therning 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

For the first time ever today, I noticed this little gem of a message from gpg: ~~~~ gpg: WARNING: The GNOME keyring manager hijacked the GnuPG agent. gpg: WARNING: GnuPG will not work proberly - please configure that tool to not interfere with the GnuPG system! ~~~~ So I started looking into some nice way of switching to gpg-agent, but how to start it in a nice way when using Gnome? The instructions at [^1] are for the shell and for using ~/.xinitrc to start X. So neither is very well suited for me as I'm letting GDM log me in to Gnome without use of ~/.xinitrc and the agent has to be available also to apps started via Gnome Shell. I have a feeling this ought to be solvable using systemd but I can't really see how. Writing a service for gpg-agent is not that difficult, and it creates the required environment file without problems. But, how do I hook it in to the user login in the right way? Who should be wanting my gpg-agent.service, and then load the generated file using EnvironmentFile=? All pointers are welcome. /M [^1]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#gpg-agent -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus What gets measured, gets done. -- Tom Peters

[arch-general] [HELP] Upgrading kernel results in unmounted partitions
by Thilina Mallawa Arachchi 08 Jun '14

08 Jun '14

Hi Arch Community, Today I upgraded the kernel from a fresh install of 3.14 to 3.4 via the yaourt install of linux-lts34 from AUR. Booting results logging into the recovery console as root. My / partition is being booted but my /var and /home are not. Very similar to this post https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/40706 and also this discussion on the list https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2014-June/036488.html. The above links refer to using UTC time as a solution. I am using UTC time as per the beginners installation guide for the first fresh install of 3.14 but still run into the issue after the kernel upgrade. Would someone guide me (in detail) for fixing the issue? I need to run the 3.4 kernel for the particular piece of hardware I'm working with. Best, Thilina

[arch-general] Anybody unable to boot Arch after installing latest updates?
by Ralf Mardorf 08 Jun '14

08 Jun '14

Hi, likely an update I run after 2014-06-03 19:39 +0200 has broken something. I only can boot Arch after I commented out everything in /etc/fstab, excepted of /. I have no time for journalctl etc. right now. Does anybody experience the same or another issue? [root@archlinux rocketmouse]# cat /etc/fstab # # /etc/fstab: static file system information # # <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> # UUID=f386221b-fc9c-434b-b4e7-b3b1b97be8aa LABEL=archlinux /dev/sda9 / ext3 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 1 # UUID=3e19b702-30ed-4574-91d7-1594fad71842 #/dev/sdb7 none swap defaults 0 0 # UUID=4b65ccbf-2219-4734-98fa-16c58d4f60fa #/dev/sda10 none swap defaults,pri=-2 0 0 #/dev/sda11 /mnt/music ext3 noatime,defaults 0 2 #/dev/sdb12 /home/music ext4 noatime,defaults 0 2 #dev/sda14 #LABEL=debbsd /mnt/debbsd ext4 noatime,defaults 0 2 [snip] Regards, Ralf

What package should I downgrade too, to get rid of the brand new "run fsck at each startup" issue? I could restore Arch from a working backup I made a few days ago, but what packages shouldn't I upgrade, after I restored my Arch install?
