[arch-general] Building in docker?
by Magnus Therning 27 Apr '16

27 Apr '16

For various reasons I'm looking into not using `makechrootpkg` when building the 200+ packages I put into a non-official repo. Obviously it's important to keep the building environment separate from my ordinary system environment. Going to full virtualisation is definitely overkill and the only containers I know of are chroots and docker. Docker has some nice attributes, in particular no need for root access. However, I don't know a whole lot about it, so I wonder are there any aspects to it that makes it a bad choice for building packages? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Heuristic is an algorithm in a clown suit.

[arch-general] Smartcard troubles on Arch
by Mathias Huber 18 Mar '16

18 Mar '16

Dear Archers, I am trying to get my Gemalto USB Shell Token V2 (GPG-Smartcard-Reader in a USB-Stick) to work on Arch. I've set up Udev in the way I did successfully in Ubuntu 12.04.LTS. However, no success. I am still trying to figure out where the trouble lies. I can never see the card using gpg --card-status But sometimes I see its fields when using pcscs_scan. Possible culprits: pcscd, which sometimes gives errors, gpg's USB support? Has anyone had success in setting up this reader or similar smartcard readers? Or had similar troubles? I would love to hear from you. Best, Mathias

by Darshit Shah 03 Feb '16

Hi, I noticed that it's been almost one month since the release of GNU Wget 1.17 and yet it is not even in the [testing] repos. Is there anything holding up? A new bugfix version has just been released and I'd like to see that in the repos as soon as possible. If there's any issues, please let us know so they can be fixed. Thanking You, Darshit Shah

[arch-general] [OT?] Which is most future-proof desktop environment?
by Francis Gerund 02 Jan '16

02 Jan '16

Just a call for opinions: if you use Arch, and you wanted to choose and stay with a desktop environment long-term, what would you choose - and why?

[arch-general] virt-manager/spicy: no audio unless I start pulseaudio
by Kyle Terrien 31 Dec '15

31 Dec '15

Summary: Why is there no audio in the spice viewer if PulseAudio is not running? I have been battling muted audio in virt-manager for some time. I finally figured out that it is really a spice viewer problem (spicy) rather than a QEMU problem. The problem is that spicy does not output any audio unless I have PulseAudio setup and running. If I attempt to run spicy from a terminal and connect to a VM (running Fedora 23), I get warnings like the following when I am not running PulseAudio: GSpice-WARNING **: PulseAudio context failed Connection refused GSpice-WARNING **: pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused And there is no sound. If I launch PulseAudio and try again, there is sound. It looks like at one point the '--with-audio=gstreamer' configure parameter was added to spice-gtk3 [0]. However, it was reverted a few weeks later [1]. So, I have a couple questions: - Why was the reversion necessary? There is a forum post on that bug where someone has the complete opposite problem I am having. - Is there some way to make spicy output sound without PulseAudio as a dependency? I have filed a bug on spicy's bugtracker [2], and a developer claims that by switching '--with-audio' to gstreamer, it is possible to make sound output work on both PulseAudio and plain ALSA. I have tried recompiling with '--with-audio=gstreamer', but I was not able to get sound output in plain ALSA. Has anyone had success recompiling with '--with-audio=gstreamer'? Any insight to the root of the problem would be appreciated. --Kyle Terrien [0] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/41492 [1] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/41740 [2] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93544

[arch-general] Cinnamon main menu bug?
by Francis Gerund 30 Dec '15

30 Dec '15

Hello. I am running Arch 64-bit, with the Cinnamon desktop environment. When I install an application program, it does not show up in the Cinnamon main menu until I restart Cinnamon. Then, there it is. Is this a known bug, or is it a "feature"? And is there a way to fix it so that added programs show up in the menu without restarting Cinnamon?

[arch-general] plasma 5 crashing
by Genes Lists 29 Dec '15

29 Dec '15

Fully updated from testing repo. Since update to plasma 5.5 I am getting periodic crashes of plasmashell -trace back below. Seems to be connected with dri/swrast_dri.so. i915 graphics so not sure why swrast_dri is called - but then again not sure what that does exactly (sounds like software rendering). Anyone got suggestions or seen similar. plasma restarts itself and things go normally for a while until the next crash. gene --- trace back Application: Plasma (plasmashell), signal: Segmentation fault Using host libthread_db library "/usr/lib/libthread_db.so.1".
