[arch-general] POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL(_DESIGN) semantics
by Chrisitan Burkard 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

Hi, I am wondering what the semantics of POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL(_DESIGN) are. I am using a ~3 years old thinkpad with its first battery so aging is something normal I guess. (see below). [watnuss@tp ~]$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent POWER_SUPPLY_NAME=BAT0 POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS=Unknown POWER_SUPPLY_PRESENT=1 POWER_SUPPLY_TECHNOLOGY=Li-ion POWER_SUPPLY_CYCLE_COUNT=0 POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_MIN_DESIGN=11100000 POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_NOW=12484000 POWER_SUPPLY_CURRENT_NOW=0 POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL_DESIGN=7800000 POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL=5052000 POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_NOW=4551000 POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY=90 POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY_LEVEL=Normal POWER_SUPPLY_MODEL_NAME=42T4799 POWER_SUPPLY_MANUFACTURER=SANYO POWER_SUPPLY_SERIAL_NUMBER= 5878 As I understand POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL_DESIGN would be the capacity of a fully charged new battery and POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL is the maximum capacity of the battery today. I am asking because I am using i3status to show my battery loading state and it shows me 58% which would be (CHARGE_NOW / CHARGE_FULL_DESIGN). If I understand correctly this doesn't make any sense if I am not able to reach the CHARGE_FULL_DESIGN capacity anyways, today. So if anyone with a bit more knowledge about this mechanic could confirm my guess I would contact upstream what they think about it. (In my opinion they should read CHARGE_FULL to determine the current battery %) Another issue I have is that the POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS shows 'Unknown' on AC but 'Discharging' on Battery. Do you have any idea why? My guess is that i3 uses this property to show the battery/AC state in i3status and because of the 'Unkown' value I don't get updates on the state there. Best regards and thanks for your help Christian

[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] qemu-vm : access to KVM kernel denied
by arnaud gaboury 17 Aug '14

I found my entries about this topic, but no clear answer. As user, I want to install a VM with virt-install. $ virt-install --connect qemu:///system --LONG list of options Error : could not access KVM kernel module: permission denied. Running the above command as root returns the same. My configuration: martinus@gerbillous ➤➤ ~ % uname -r 3.16.1-1-ARCH martinus@gerbillous ➤➤ ~ % ls -al /dev/kvm crw-rw----+ 1 root kvm 10, 232 Aug 17 11:05 /dev/kvm martinus@gerbillous ➤➤ ~ % groups martinus adm wheel video audio kalu libvirt qemu kvm martinus No files in /etc/polkit.1/rules.d No files in /etc/udev/rules.d , so /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/65-kvm.rules apply. /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf is set to qemu:qemu. qemu user from /etc/passwd : qemu:x:135:135:qemu:/:/usr/bin/nologin qemu group from /etc/group : qemu:x:135:martinus I have no idea what to do. Thank you for suggestion as I already spent lot of time with various "suspicious" tricks to solve this issue. -- google.com/+arnaudgabourygabx

No problem, thanks a lot already! How close is ALARM (if that's what you're using) to original Arch (in terms of config directory, apps packaging etc.)?

Do you mind if I put a link to your gist on the wiki (ownCloud page, nginx + uwsgi section)? Just two questions: * I see you define two 'root" directives in nginx.conf, a server-wide one (/srv/http) and the / location one (/usr/share/webapps/owncloud): what is the interest of doing so? * I see (from enabled php extensions) you use SQLite? How does it go performance-wise? (if you prefer I can put my questions on the gist comments instead of the ML) Help is much appreciated, thanks.

[arch-general] TeXLive 2014 packages
by Rémy Oudompheng 13 Aug '14

13 Aug '14

Hello, I have updated TeXLive packages for the 2014 release in the [testing] repo. The main visible change is the split of the huge texlive-langcjk package into 3 packages (langchinese, langjapanese, langkorean) to follow upstream split of the corresponding TeXLive collection. The upgrade should not cause any particular issue. Please report any problem you are experiencing. Regards, Rémy.

If you could verify the instructions on the wiki [1] and update them to reflect your current working install (nginx.conf server context and uWSGI owncloud config file), it would be much appreciated. I'm thinking in particular (by reading the wiki): * what is uwsgi_modifier1 14 directive used for? * uwsgi_pass directive: is TCP socket required by OC or can we replace it by a unix socket (like it seems to be by default in uwsgi doc [2])? * how do you start the uwsgi process (the wiki mentions a systemd unit file and Emperor but doesn't explain the need for those...)? Etc. Thanks already, Neitsab [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OwnCloud#Nginx_.2B_uwsgi_php_configura… [2] http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/Nginx.html#configuring-nginx

[arch-general] Why not mksh provides("ksh")?
by G. Richard Bellamy 12 Aug '14

12 Aug '14

Not sure if this is the correct venue for this comment, and apologies if it's already been mentioned, but why wouldn't mksh [1] provide ksh? This would alleviate some AUR dependency weirdness, specifically with the oracle-sqldeveloper [2] package, which currently forces an install of ksh [3], even though it'll work just fine with mksh. -rb [1] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/mksh/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/oracle-sqldeveloper/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ksh/

[arch-general] makepkg breaks the build when building binaries manually doesn't
by arnaud gaboury 11 Aug '14

11 Aug '14

I am trying to build/install libguestfs [1] from git. There is already am AUR package [2] but not the git version If I manually $ gitclone gitUrl $ cd libguestfs $ ./autogen.sh $ ./configure --someOptions the build goes until the end and leaves me with binaries. --------------------------------- Now I want to install it properly on my machine with a PKBUILD and wrote one. When running $ makepkg I have this structure which sounds correct: libguestfs-git/pkg/ libguestfs-git/src/AllNeededDir_cloned_here but at one time the build breaks with these errors: ----------------------------- ../src/.libs/libutils.a( libutils_la-cleanup.o): In function `guestfs___cleanup_xmlBufferFree': cleanup.c:(.text+0x79): undefined reference to `xmlBufferFree' ../src/.libs/libutils.a(libutils_la-cleanup.o): In function `guestfs___cleanup_xmlFreeDoc': cleanup.c:(.text+0x99): undefined reference to `xmlFreeDoc' ../src/.libs/libutils.a(libutils_la-cleanup.o): In function `guestfs___cleanup_xmlFreeURI': cleanup.c:(.text+0xb9): undefined reference to `xmlFreeURI' ../src/.libs/libutils.a(libutils_la-cleanup.o): In function `guestfs___cleanup_xmlFreeTextWriter': cleanup.c:(.text+0xd9): undefined reference to `xmlFreeTextWriter' ../src/.libs/libutils.a(libutils_la-cleanup.o): In function `guestfs___cleanup_xmlXPathFreeContext': cleanup.c:(.text+0xf9): undefined reference to `xmlXPathFreeContext' ../src/.libs/libutils.a(libutils_la-cleanup.o): In function `guestfs___cleanup_xmlXPathFreeObject': cleanup.c:(.text+0x119): undefined reference to `xmlXPathFreeObject' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Makefile:1598: recipe for target 'virt-p2v' failed ------------------------------------- The build part of PKGBUILD: build(){ cd "$srcdir/libguestfs" ./autogen.sh ./configure --someOptions make } I can't figure out why the binaries build manually and not using makepkg. I suspect this could be a path error at one point, but can't see why. Thank you for any suggestion.

[arch-general] Manual for Samsung Chromebook Needed
by Jonathan Ryshpan 08 Aug '14

08 Aug '14

I'm investigating installing Arch Linux on a Samsung Chromebook, model xe303c12-a01us, as described on the Arch Wiki page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samsung_Chromebook_%28ARM% 29 . To do this it would be useful to have the user manual; unfortunately Samsung no longer provides it, though the Maintenance manual is available. See: http://www.samsungparts.com/PartsList.aspx?Catalog=Parts_and_Accessories&Pa… Can anyone tell me how to get a copy? BTW: Caveat Emptor! Never buy anything till you are sure you can get a copy of the manual. I never dreamed that this situation would arise. Thanks in advance - jon
