[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 18 Aug '14

18 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] owncloud: incorrect dependencies in PKGBUILD
by Neitsab 30 Jul '14

30 Jul '14

Hi everybody, Today I was looking at the installation of ownCloud on my home Arch server, and I noticed one of the optional dependencies returned by pacman (php-imagick) couldn't be found in the official repos. Turns out it's in the AUR [1]. Arch packages' owncloud webpage mentions "(virtual)" next to php-imagick and has no hyperlink [2]. Is that expected? Also, after looking at the latest ownCloud official admin manual prerequisites section [3] it seems package dependencies should be overhauled: * php-intl should be moved to optdepends array; * smbclient should be removed from optdepends (required only for specific apps, otherwise php-ldap from [extra] should be added too); * php-apcu and php-xcache should be added to optdepends; * quite probably php-fpm should be included too since it is mentioned in the given example nginx config [4]; * and of course, php-imagick should be removed from optdepends if it isn't expected that AUR packages are mentioned in official repos PKGBUILDs. I had a go at an amended PKGBUILD, please find it below. Tell me if this is better suited as a bug report.

[arch-general] Ncurses over ssh
by luc.linux＠mailoo.org 30 Jul '14

30 Jul '14

Hello everyone. I am using newsbeuter to handle my rss feeds, and, to be able to use it from all my computers, I set it up on a server with ssh enabled. When I log in this server with ssh, then launch newsbeuter, everything works fine. But when I invoke it that way : `ssh [ip] newsbeuter`, newsbeuter fails with 'Error opening terminal : unknown'. When I explicitly export $TERM[1], newsbeuter is able to launch, but it doesn't detect the terminal size and can't handle keys. So I'll be glad if you know how to fix that matter. Thanks in advance. In a totally unrelated matter, do you know how to make a remote program launch local scripts through ssh ? [1] : The command used is : `ssh [ip] 'export TERM=rxvt-unicode-256color && newsbeuter'`

Have you the same problem? Just for the record, I buit with yaourt but also tried with manual makepkg. Thanks for your help. Note: I'm currently installing mysql-workbench-gpl and the result grid doesnt show either...

[arch-general] [draft] xorg-server 1.16 is now available (v2)
by Karol Blazewicz 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2014-July/026496.ht… The draft still doesn't say how can I launch more than one rootless X server at a time or if it's possible at all. Do I have to have KMS enabled? What if I'm using e.g. proprietary nvidia drivers i.e. no KMS?

[arch-general] [vte3] Wrong permissions for /etc/profile.d/vte.sh ?
by Neitsab 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

Hi, As I was checking some stuff about environment variables, I noticed that I have one file in /etc/profile.d which doesn't have the same perms as the others: $ ls -la /etc/profile.d/ total 72 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 19 juil. 20:36 . drwxr-xr-x 91 root root 4096 22 juil. 15:04 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 102 24 oct. 2013 gpm.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2154 21 mars 02:16 infinality-settings.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1972 7 janv. 2014 infinality-settings.sh.old -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 140 28 mars 15:29 jre.csh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 152 28 mars 15:29 jre.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 156 15 mars 22:09 libreoffice-common.csh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 156 15 mars 22:09 libreoffice-common.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1052 4 juil. 14:44 locale.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 50 1 juil. 11:55 mozilla-common.csh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 50 1 juil. 11:55 mozilla-common.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 699 19 juin 21:08 perlbin.csh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 668 19 juin 21:08 perlbin.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 115 13 mai 23:37 seahorse-ssh-askpass.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 36 20 janv. 2014 vdpau_vaapi.sh -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1881 23 juin 22:05 vte.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 115 11 juin 2013 x11-ssh-askpass.sh $ pacman -Qo /etc/profile.d/vte.sh /etc/profile.d/vte.sh belongs to vte3 0.36.3-1 I verified it wasn't some bad commands on my side which changed this file's perms by reinstalling it together with vte-common, however the file remains 644. Does anybody have any hints about why this file, which is a .sh script, doesn't have execute permissions like the others in /etc/profile.d folder? I didn't find any change in latest PKGBUILDs which would cause such permissions, so should I suppose it is an upstream decision? Regards
