[arch-general] Vim clipboard option
by Yamakaky 21 Aug '14

21 Aug '14

Hi It's good to have a real vim package, but the `clipboard` option is now disabled (see `vim --version`). Is there any reason ? I use it a lot via the "+ register. Thanks

[arch-general] Updates for avr-gcc and avr-libc
by Karol Babioch 20 Aug '14

20 Aug '14

Hi, the current maintainer of avr-gcc and avr-libc, Jakob Gruber, seems to be away until October [1]. In the meantime new versions of both packages have been released. Due to a bug within avr-gcc 4.9.0, avr-libc 1.8.1 cannot be built [2] and avr-gcc 4.9.1 is required, so actually both packages should be upgraded at once. Simply bumping the numbers within the appropriate PKGBUILD seems to be sufficient, some developer and/or TU could take care of this? Best regards, Karol Babioch [1]: https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2014-July/026451.ht… [2]: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/avr-libc-dev/2014-08/msg00020.html

[arch-general] Upgrade of KDE
by Sławek Kapłoński 20 Aug '14

20 Aug '14

Hello, Today I update my system with pacman and there was kde upgrade to 4.14.0 version. Now I have problem that "kontact" don't want to start. When I check akonadi in akonadiconsole I saw that there is errors as below (I paste only errors results). Do You know is it related to Arch's kde packages and I should wait to new upgrade or maybe this is bug in kde and I should report it directly on kde?

[arch-general] Messed up {g,u}id for uuidd
by Leonidas Spyropoulos 20 Aug '14

Hello, I had the brilliant idea couple of weeks ago to merge the /etc/{shadow,group,passwd} . I know now that I shouldn't be merging those and ignore the pacnew files. Now i'd like to fix these. The status report from systemd is: ~# systemctl status -l shadow shadow.service - Verify integrity of password and group files Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/shadow.service; static) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2014-08-20 08:17:19 BST; 5min ago Process: 613 ExecStart=/usr/bin/pwck -r (code=exited, status=2) Main PID: 613 (code=exited, status=2) Aug 20 08:17:19 tiamat pwck[613]: user 'uuidd': no group 68 Aug 20 08:17:19 tiamat pwck[613]: pwck: no changes Aug 20 08:17:19 tiamat systemd[1]: shadow.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=2/INVALIDARGUMENT Aug 20 08:17:19 tiamat systemd[1]: Failed to start Verify integrity of password and group files.

[arch-general] Gnome crashing with segmentation fault - Not sure about the source
by Sergi Pons Freixes 20 Aug '14

20 Aug '14

Dear all, Gnome is crashing on my machine[1] with the typical "Oh no, something has gone wrong" message. XFCE starts and works fine, though. The gnome crash leaves this message[2], but from it is not clear to me which is the root of the problem. Setting the backlight, or something wrongwith the intel drivers? Any insight about it is appreciated. [1] http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:X200_Tablet [2] https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1390205/Xorg.0.log

[arch-general] Improve the filesystem package
by Yamakaky 20 Aug '14

20 Aug '14

Hi I see some possible improvements to the filesystem package to use some of the recent improvements to systemd. I don't know if they are already planned. All the empty directories and the links could be replaced by a tmpfiles.d file, like /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/archlinux.conf. /etc/{group,gshadow,passwd,shadow} could be removed as the base users and groups are already created by the upstream sysusers.d files. The arch-specific ones (like bin or daemon) could be created by /usr/lib/sysusers.d/archlinux.conf. The others /etc/ files could be moved to /usr/share/etc/ and copied as needed to /etc using tmpfiles.d files. A filesystem.install file could launch systemd-tmpfiles and systemd-sysusers to update the local configuration when the package is updated. In the end, filesystem would contain only tmpfiles.d and sysusers.d files + /usr/share/etc. I can make a draft of this package if you want. More infos : http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/stateless.html

[arch-general] Arch curiosity
by James 20 Aug '14

20 Aug '14

Hello, As my background is Gentoo, Arch has frequently crossed my mind. So, specifically, here is what I'm interested in testing on Arch. Mesos, Chronos, Spark, Hadoop Lxqt(5?) and whatever file system to run (HDFS)? I believe all of these aforementioned packages, except for Chronos are available in Arch, in one form or another? I could not find the pages where it specifies which file systems Arch supports. BTRFS is in my plans for testing along with HDFS. I did not (yet) find the documents and discussion of the files systems available in ARCH linux.....I have (2) fX8350 workstations I can devote to the dual purpose of cluster building/testing under arch linux. Last, I'm curious as to future arch plans, if any, to support the newest AMD_arm64 server processors? [1] James [1] http://www.forbes.com/sites/marcochiappetta/2014/07/31/amd-opteron-64-bit-a…

[arch-general] Weird program in $PATH
by Heiko Becker 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

Hey everyone, today I tried to launch firefox from my awesome-wm launcher and instead of being offered firefox after typing fire, the prompt finished showing me alternatives and being a little lazy I just pushed enter. This gave me a window with some fire particle animations running on my screen. Searching for the program in my pacman.log did not show me anything so I'm wondering where this program comes from. Can anyone of you maybe help me to at least get this thing removed without having any files left that are only used by this program? Best regards, Heiko
