[arch-general] Few questions/issues with linux-grsec
by Divan Santana 28 Jul '14

Greetings Archers :) Been trying out linux-grsec kernel and overall pretty pleased with it. Just have 2 issues with it and wondering how best to resolve them: 1) virtualbox modules for grsec has following issue dkms install vboxhost/$(pacman -Q virtualbox|awk {'print $2'}|sed 's/\-.\+//') -k $(uname -rm|sed 's/\ /\//') DKMS make.log for vboxhost-4.3.14 for kernel 3.15.5.201407170639-2-grsec (x86_64) Thu Jul 24 07:53:40 SAST 2014 make: Entering directory '/usr/lib/modules/3.15.5.201407170639-2-grsec/build' LD /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/4.3.14/build/built-in.o LD /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/4.3.14/build/vboxdrv/built-in.o CC [M] /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/4.3.14/build/vboxdrv/linux/SUPDrv-linux.o cc1: error: incompatible gcc/plugin versions cc1: error: fail to initialize plugin /usr/lib/modules/3.15.5.201407170639-2-grsec/build/tools/gcc/size_overflow_plugin/size_overflow_plugin.so cc1: error: incompatible gcc/plugin versions cc1: error: fail to initialize plugin /usr/lib/modules/3.15.5.201407170639-2-grsec/build/tools/gcc/stackleak_plugin.so cc1: error: incompatible gcc/plugin versions cc1: error: fail to initialize plugin /usr/lib/modules/3.15.5.201407170639-2-grsec/build/tools/gcc/colorize_plugin.so cc1: error: incompatible gcc/plugin versions cc1: error: fail to initialize plugin /usr/lib/modules/3.15.5.201407170639-2-grsec/build/tools/gcc/structleak_plugin.so scripts/Makefile.build:318: recipe for target '/var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/4.3.14/build/vboxdrv/linux/SUPDrv-linux.o' failed make[2]: *** [/var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/4.3.14/build/vboxdrv/linux/SUPDrv-linux.o] Error 1 scripts/Makefile.build:465: recipe for target '/var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/4.3.14/build/vboxdrv' failed make[1]: *** [/var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/4.3.14/build/vboxdrv] Error 2 Makefile:1388: recipe for target '_module_/var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/4.3.14/build' failed make: *** [_module_/var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/4.3.14/build] Error 2 make: Leaving directory '/usr/lib/modules/3.15.5.201407170639-2-grsec/build' 2) How best to get a tun.ko module for linux-grsec?

[arch-general] [draft] xorg-server 1.16 is now available
by Karol Blazewicz 27 Jul '14

27 Jul '14

I can start only one rootless X session at a time. If I want to start a second one while the first one is running, I have to use 'sudo startx'. I'm logging into tty and starting X as a user. Did I mis-configure something or is it a "feature'? Can you start multiple X sessions simultaneously with xorg 1.16?

[arch-general] NetworkManager attribute but doesn't use ipv6
by Yamakaky 25 Jul '14

25 Jul '14

Hi I have a problem with nm : it seems to get an ipv6 address from dhcp, but it doesn't use it. ip addr inet 192.168.0.5/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global wifi valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 *:*:*:*:*:*:8f3e:7de1/64 scope global noprefixroute dynamic valid_lft 86334sec preferred_lft 86334sec ip -6 route *:*:*:*::/64 dev wifi proto kernel metric 303 mtu 1480 fe80::/64 dev wifi proto kernel metric 256 (I replaced my ipv6 by * for privacy) Web sites like http://whatismyipv6.com/ say that I don't have an ipv6. I searched on the web, but nothing concluant. Any idea ?

Note that this update is not seemless because it breaks virtual machines with vesa (no KMS, so can not access /dev/mem). The documentation says that Xorg will autodetect whether or not to drop root privs, but it doesn't. Forcing X to run as root via Xwrapper.config does help, but neither this file nor /etc/X11/X11 are part of the package. Is it possible to at least have the latter directory in xorg-server? Otherwise, great news! Thanks, -- Leonid Isaev GPG fingerprints: DA92 034D B4A8 EC51 7EA6 20DF 9291 EE8A 043C B8C4 C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D

[arch-general] community/mythtv out of date & unmaintained
by Gilles Hamel 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

Hello, I'm a mythtv user and I flagged this package since months. What's up with mythtv packages ? I've updated PKGBUILD for myself to the latest version. If nobody wants to maintain them, then I could maintain the mythtv & mythplugins packages in AUR.

[arch-general] Migrating from 64 to 32 bit
by Friedrich Strohmaier 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

Hi folks, starting to do migration from 64 to 32 bit as announced within the other thread. :o)) I choose the Live-CD method following this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Migrating_Between_Architectures_Withou… changed the script mensioned there this way: ===================== #!/bin/bash MOUNTED_INSTALL='/mnt' TEMP_FILE='/tmp/packages.list' ARCH='i686' # added this and used --arch $ARCH pacman --root $MOUNTED_INSTALL -Sy pacman --root $MOUNTED_INSTALL --cachedir $MOUNTED_INSTALL/var/cache/pacman/pkg --arch $ARCH --noconfirm -S base base-devel # -Sg only *listing* the groups #not reached here yet pacman --root $MOUNTED_INSTALL -Qq > $TEMP_FILE for PKG in $(cat $TEMP_FILE) ; do pacman --root $MOUNTED_INSTALL --cachedir $MOUNTED_INSTALL/var/cache/pacman/pkg --noconfirm -S $PKG done exit 0 ================= As I'm a courious guy I run the lines one by one on the shell watching the results :o)) running the second line, 32-bit live arch's pacman refuses to install 32-bit packages and instead complains (example): :: package pkg-config-0.28-2-x86_64 does not have a valid architecture this is basically true, but not very helpful because I requested it to install 32-bit packages which in this case should be pkg-config-0.28-2-i686, if I got it right. Changing neither /etc/pacman.conf's Architecture = i686 nor the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist entries accordingly are of any help. Does anyone have an idea, what's missing? -- Friedrich

Hi, I'm trying to install icecat with yaourt but get always error: No space left on device. $ df -H Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 66G 38G 26G 60% / tmpfs 3.2G 0 3.2G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 3.2G 0 3.2G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup tmpfs 3.2G 3.2G 160k 100% /tmp tmpfs 627M 4.1k 627M 1% /run/user/1000 I have installed my arch linux on one partition only, on /dev/sda3. I tried to install icecat several times, moreover after a reboot too, but always get this error message. I tried also to setup yaourt and makepkg: /etc/yaourtrc TMPDIR="/tmp" /etc/makepkg.conf BUILDDIR=/tmp/makepkg Still get the above error. What can I do to solve this problem? -- Regards from Pal
