[arch-general] suckless-terminal (st) in community - is there an issue with st-255color terminfo and tmux?
by Oon-Ee Ng 26 Nov '15

26 Nov '15

I'm really glad st is now in community, though I find it slightly odd its orphaned even though it's just been moved. Anyway, on the upgrade my terminal would not start, and I tracked that down to the default config.h setting termname to 'st-256color' Changing that to 'stterm-256color' means it doesn't crash on startup anymore. It's because I start tmux automatically in terminal. The problem with 'st' is that the name is nigh-on un-google-able... anyone else knows about this issue or has hit it before?

[arch-general] Linux still at 4.2, but nvidia and virtualbox compiled for 4.3?
by Sebastiaan Lokhorst 24 Nov '15

24 Nov '15

So I just did an update and got the following messages: (16/24) upgrading nvidia [----------------------------------] 100% cat: /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-4.3-ARCH/version: No such file or directory .... (20/24) upgrading virtualbox-host-modules [----------------------------------] 100% cat: /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-4.3-ARCH/version: No such file or directory It seems like these are looking for Linux 4.3, but the linux package in [core] is still at 4.2. I'm afraid if I'll reboot, there will be problems with the graphics driver. Why wasn't the linux package updated alongside these others? Or am I wrong, and is this harmless?

[arch-general] Problems with movie playback (HTML5)
by Łukasz Michalski 24 Nov '15

24 Nov '15

Hi, After recent update I have problems in HTML5 movie playback. In Chromium, films on YouTube are buffered but don't want to start at all. Pressing play/pause has no effect. I can manually move playback to different time but this only causes new frame to show without playback. In firefox I can play video, switch on another one but I cannot reload page - firefox freezes completely. System updated with pacman 16.11.2015. Anyone seeing similar things? Regards, Łukasz

[arch-general] archwiki - PHP page, no longer a recommended config for php and apache?
by David C. Rankin 23 Nov '15

23 Nov '15

All, Less than 90 days ago I went through a server rebuild and at the time there were 3 options listed in the PHP wiki for using PHP (the normal php package) with apache: libphp5.so apache2-mpm-worker and mod_fcgid php-fpm and mod_proxy_fcgi (see original thread from 8/25/15 titled: "PHP - libphp5.so, OR php-fpm and mod_proxy_fcgi, OR php5 with apache2-mpm-worker and mod_fcgid") I initially installed with libphp5.so, and all worked well. I was going to investigate the other two over the holidays, but returning to the wiki today I find none of those remain recommended configurations. Instead, now the wiki only recommends a configuration for Zend Core + Apache which includes: Install mod_fcgid (the official one sucks) Install Zend Core (official PHP distribution) Uninstall the php package ^^^^^^^^^ Where the confusion lies, is there are no longer *any* suggested configurations for plain PHP (from the traditional php package) and Apache? Does this mean that the combination of plain php and apache is no longer recommended/supported on Arch or has the earlier content of wiki just been deleted for some other reason? Are the other configurations for using the normal php package with apache still fine, but will no longer be mentioned in the arch wiki? I try to stick with the way arch recommends doing/configuring packages as stated in the arch wiki, but it just seems like the current PHP wiki page has either had relevant information unintentionally deleted, or the entire way apache/php has been used in the past is undergoing a radical change. What say those that know? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Bug? Home (encrypted) unmount error message during shutdown, when using UUID in fstab
by Merlin Büge 22 Nov '15

22 Nov '15

Hello everyone, This is my first post here, hope I'm doing it allright:) I have an encrypted setup with both / and home encrypted, on two different partitions with plain LUKS, so no LVM, RAID, etc.. Since my last Arch update I have a strange issue: during shutdown, I get the following error message: systemd[1]: Stopped (with error) /dev/mapper/home_crypt. Due to a hint on #archlinux, I've changed the specification of the encrypted home_partition in my /etc/fstab from "UUID=..." to "/dev/mapper/home_crypt", and this indeed removed the error message during shutdown. Before the update, everything went fine - with UUID in my /etc/fstab. I described the issue very detailed here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1580311 I'm not sure if this is a bug, so my question is, should I file a bug report on this? Thank you! Have a nice day :) Merlin -- Merlin Büge <toni(a)bluenox07.de>

[arch-general] Mouse buttons not working in X
by Magnus Therning 17 Nov '15

17 Nov '15

I've just updated a sligtly neglected machine I have (not upgraded since mid-September). Thanks to the [ARA][1] I managed to upgrade it in weekly steps. It all seemed to work fine, and indeed it boots just fine. There's only one little thing that's broken: the mouse buttons don't work. Yes, it's really only the mouse buttons that don't work. I can move the pointer using the mouse. I can scroll using the scroll wheel. Starting `xev` I thought I'd have a look at what actually happens: 1. Start `xev`. 2. Move the pointer into the window -> the various events scroll by in the terminal. 3. Press the left mouse button -> no event printed in the terminal. 4. Move the pointer in the window -> no events are printed in the terminal. 5. Change focus to another window using Ctrl-Tab, change back -> movements in the `xev` window once again generate events. I've tried searching for a solution, but I can't find anything resembling this. What could be causing this behaviour, and how do I fix it? /M [1]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux_Archive -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Goto labels should be left-aligned in all caps and should include the programmer's name, home phone number, and credit card number. -- Abdul Nizar

[arch-general] lxc-console to LXC container not working
by Viktor Trojanovic 17 Nov '15

17 Nov '15

Hi list, I ran pacman -Syu on one of my LXC containers running Arch and subsequently could not log on to it using lxc-console. The login screen would appear at first but the credentials entry was messed up. Every time I enter my credentials, I get back a login prompt, and several times the password entry would not even be obfuscated but show the typed text. At any rate, no matter how often I would try to login, it would fail. Luckily, lxc-attach still worked so I could easily check the logs, here an extract: Nov 17 15:49:51 fileserver login[90]: pam_unix(login:auth): authentication failure; logname=LOGIN uid=0 euid=0 tty=pts/0 ruser= Nov 17 15:49:54 fileserver login[90]: FAILED LOGIN 1 FROM pts/0 FOR viktor, Authentication failure Nov 17 15:49:57 fileserver login[90]: pam_securetty(login:auth): unexpected response from failed conversation function Nov 17 15:49:57 fileserver login[90]: pam_securetty(login:auth): cannot determine username Nov 17 15:49:57 fileserver login[90]: pam_nologin(login:auth): cannot determine username Nov 17 15:49:57 fileserver login[90]: FAILED LOGIN SESSION FROM pts/0 FOR (unknown), Error in service module Nov 17 15:49:57 fileserver login[86]: pam_tally(login:auth): pam_get_uid; no such user Nov 17 15:50:00 fileserver systemd[1]: container-getty(a)0.service: Service has no hold-off time, scheduling restart.

Nov 17 15:50:00 fileserver systemd[1]: Started Getty on lxc/tty1. Nov 17 15:50:04 fileserver agetty[109]: pts/0: input overrun I solved my issue simply by commenting the line auth required pam_securetty.so in the file /etc/pam.d/login, and now I can properly log in using lxc-console. Does anyone know what the exact issue is here, and if there is a better way to handle this than I presented? Thanks, Viktor
