[arch-general] No nVidia support on Apparmor kernel
by João Miguel 14 Oct '15

14 Oct '15

Hey there, I've used the ABS to compile a kernel with the CONFIG_AUDIT=y and CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR=y options enabled. Apparmor and audit work just fine, but when I tried to start a game, I failed. The following errors occur only when using the apparmor enabled kernel (independently of kernel boot parameters to enable/disable apparmor). $ lsmod | grep nvidia $ modprobe nvidia modprobe: FATAL: Module nvidia not found. $ glxgears Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual $ glxinfo name of display: :0 Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Anything that doesn't require fancy graphics works (though libreoffice and some other programs complain anyway). The configuration files are much alike (diff attached) with only apparmor and audit options changed, and a few others presumably by `make config`. I also tried to use `make nconfig` in the PKGBUILD to change them, to the same effect. By following the wiki, I eventually found this out: $ ls /lib/modules/extra* /lib/modules/extramodules-4.2-apparmor: version /lib/modules/extramodules-4.2-ARCH: bbswitch.ko.gz nvidia.ko.gz nvidia-uvm.ko.gz version $ modprobe -c > ARCH.modprobe-c # with default kernel loaded $ modprobe -c > apparmor.modprobe-c # with compiled kernel loaded $ # ^^^-- diff attached to this message The diffs of these files clearly show the apparmor kernel seems to have no nvidia support, while the compile time configuration files show no difference in this matter. Using insmod doesn't work, as those extra modules are compiled for another kernel (error "Invalid module format"). But how are they there? I couldn't find any information on EXTRA modules in the wiki, never heard about them. Seems they are compiled separately: $ pacman -Qo /lib/modules/extramodules-4.2-ARCH/* /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-4.2-ARCH/bbswitch.ko.gz pertence a bbswitch 0.8-37 /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-4.2-ARCH/nvidia.ko.gz pertence a nvidia 355.11-3 /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-4.2-ARCH/nvidia-uvm.ko.gz pertence a nvidia 355.11-3 /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-4.2-ARCH/version pertence a linux 4.2.2-1 I guess at least now I know it's not some weird compilation option I forgot about... Might as well put the compiled kernel in the AUR. I doubt nvidia is giving away source code to compile that... Is this a dead end? Or perhaps the guys with nvidia and OpenSUSE found a way? How can I get that nvidia extra module to work on ? And why is it an "extra"? Wait, now I think of it, maybe I can make this work. Maybe I can get this to work with ABS, by pointing to the correct headers to the nvidia package. I will post this now because possibly someone else knows best, and if I end up solving my own problem, at least the solution becomes available for anyone looking for it. I found the answer to 60% of my original questions regarding this problem, while writing this email, if I don't post this now I may never do. I hope you're okay with this. Note: I sent this a while ago, got an error that it was too large, so now I used diff -c3 on the original attachments. Thanks for your time, João Miguel

[arch-general] [dkms] Don't load blacklisted modules when starting dkms.service
by Simon Brulhart 14 Oct '15

14 Oct '15

Hello, I found that when starting the dkms service, every dkms module is loaded right after, even the ones that are blacklisted. The behavior is avoidable by adding the '-b' option to modprobe, in the dkms start script (/usr/lib/systemd/scripts/dkms), line 26. I don't see any drawback in adding this option, and the resulting behavior seems more intuitive in my option. It would also help prevent some issues as the one described here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=189032 Basically when using bumblebee and nvidia-dkms, the dkms service loads the nvidia and nvidia_uvm module after bumblebeed starts, which powers the discrete graphic card back on indefinitely. I wasn't sure if I should directly post an issue on the bugtracker, or first discuss about it here. Cheers Simon

[arch-general] python2-cherrypy stuck to old version
by Cédric Girard 12 Oct '15

12 Oct '15

Hi, python2-cherrypy [1] is stuck at an old version (3.6.0) despite having been rebuilt several times since flagged out of date. Is there any reason for this? Current revision is 3.8.0 [2].

[arch-general] glibc-2.22-4?
by Oon-Ee Ng 12 Oct '15

12 Oct '15

Was just doing an update, and saw glibc-2.22-4. Updating that gave the following error:- [2015-10-12 07:43] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] bash: loadlocale.c:130: _nl_intern_locale_data: Assertion `cnt < (sizeof (_nl_value_type_LC_COLLATE) / sizeof (_nl_value_type_LC_COLLATE[0]))' failed. This totally hosed my system, so I had to download the ISO and downgrade. However I can't seem to find glibc-2.22-4 anymore, not even on www.archlinux.org. Did I have a compromised mirror, or was it simply a mistake in pushing? For reference, I provide my top-most mirror (generated from reflector months ago) in case that's useful:- Server = http://archlinux.polymorf.fr/$repo/os/$arch

I installed retext in the aur, but the retext seems broken. $ retext Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/retext", line 22, in <module> from ReText import datadirs, globalSettings, app_version File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/ReText/__init__.py", line 17, in <module> import markups ImportError: No module named 'markups' But I found python-markups package installed in my system which provides this module. What's wrong with it? - mudongliang

[arch-general] installing
by Bill Cunningham 06 Oct '15

Looks like a nice OS. I am running fedora. I have the tarball and I'm having a little trouble. A directory called "root.x86_64" is created. Do I want an ISO for a first time install? Or is the tarball complete and OK? Bill
