[arch-general] postfix 3.0.0-3 in testing wont start
by Genes Lists 20 Mar '15

20 Mar '15

FYI After updating to this new version - there is an error: fatal: /usr/lib/postfix/postfix-script: No such file o Which is absolutely correct - that file does not exist. Downgrading back to 3.0.0-2 works around the issue. Gene

by Janilson Andrade 17 Mar '15

Hi all. After months trying many things and after posting in arch forum[1] I am here asking if anyone could help me.Everytime I try to reboot or shutdown my computer, after turning everything off, my system hangs and display one of these messages below. a) cgroup : option or name mismatch, new: 0x0"", old: 0x4 "systemd" shutdown[1]: Failed to finalize file systems, ignoring b) A stop job is running for Daemon for power management (20s/1min 30s)I use Gnome 3, when I've changed to my DE to KDE the reboot options worked sometimes, but most of the times it didn't. After it stop working at all I've come back to Gnome, since I can't reboot my system no matter what I do. OBS: I know the cgroup message is just a warning to most of people, but for me it freezes my system and I can only turn the power off and on in order to reboot my computer, I really want some help of how can I at least search for the possible things that is causing this problem.Sorry for long e-mail.

Hi My thunderbird now creates another Trash folder (checked via webmail), and the two trash folders are marked with the trash icon. I can't find a way to go back to a normal situation. Does anybody has the same problem ? I use thunderbird-beta-bin-all-localizations. Yamakaky

[arch-general] Linphone-3.8.0
by Mark Lee 17 Mar '15

17 Mar '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 While this may not be the proper way of submitting packages, linphone is out of date and repackaging it does require some fiddling. The major change is the use of bzrtp for zrtp encryption now. I've attached the PKGBUILDs I used to build linphone-3.8.0 so the maintainers can avoid some duplication of effort if they'd like. Note, I enabled GLX for linphone video calls in my version of mediastreamer.

[arch-general] mono tray icons in plasma 5
by Jameson 17 Mar '15

17 Mar '15

Has anyone else tried to run a mono based program under KDE Plasma 5, and discovered that there is no tray icon? I haven't been able to turn up any information about it by searching, so I don't know if I have a broken/missing package, or if it's actually broken. I've tried both KeePass, and Tomboy. If this is a bug, I'm not sure if I should report it against Plasma or mono. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi, I have QtCreator installed on my system. When I switch to designer mode (by opening *.ui.qml file) some of the window areas goes black, application start to response slowly and the crashes. This happens on both Nouveau & NVIDIA drives (If this matter). Does anyone knows to solve this problem?

[arch-general] Conflict python-html2text/html2text (both /usr/bin/html2text)?
by David C. Rankin 11 Mar '15

11 Mar '15

All, I have been working on a project that retrieves and parses statutes basically making use of the piped processes 'curl -s url | html2text -utf8' with the read-end of the second pipe passed to getline. I moved the code from my laptop (suse) to my servers (Arch) and the pipe process broke. Poking around, I found it was due to Arch packaging python-html2text (as /usr/bin/html2text) instead of the gcc-libs version (see: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/html2text-with-utf8). While not updated recently, the gcc-libs version is quite a bit more robust and flexible (not to mention it actually provides a man page). See: http://www.mbayer.de/html2text/ There are format shortcomings with the python version as well. One big one being you cannot control the word wrap (--body-width) and prevent double line-breaks after block elements. e.g. (--single-line-break requires --body-width=0). Is there any reason in particular Arch is packaging the python version instead? If nothing else, is there any interest in at least renaming the resulting executable to prevent direct conflict with the gcc-libs version. ('pyhtml2text' makes sense) As an example, compare the output of: (gcc-libs version) $ curl -s http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/TN/htm/TN.1.htm | html2text -utf8 (python version) $ curl -s http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/TN/htm/TN.1.htm | html2text This conflict can easily avoided in the python version with the rename: $ diff -uNb --label PKGBUILD PKGBUILD.orig PKGBUILD --- PKGBUILD +++ PKGBUILD 2015-03-10 09:25:43.906168003 -0500 @@ -11,8 +11,8 @@ url="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/html2text/" license=('GPL3') depends=('python-setuptools') -provides=('html2text') -replaces=('html2text') +provides=('pyhtml2text') +replaces=('pyhtml2text') source=(https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/h/html2text/html2text-$pkgv… sha256sums=('c3977dfe6fd1ba0d4091f85963306488b3e9e236cfe60d8821158ce5a7fcb619') @@ -29,5 +29,6 @@ package() { cd "${srcdir}"/html2text-${pkgver} python setup.py install --root="${pkgdir}" + mv "${pkgdir}"/usr/bin/html2text "${pkgdir}"/usr/bin/pyhtml2text } The install script could even check for the presence of /usr/bin/html2text, and if absent, provide a soft-link. I just found it very odd to find an executable in Arch named 'html2text' that works completely different from the traditional 'html2text' found in many distributions for years. I don't know if there is any interest among the devs to rectify this. If there is I'm happy to file a feature request, etc. Let me know. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Registration on bugs.archlinux.org
by Martin Brodbeck 07 Mar '15

07 Mar '15

Hi all, I tried to register on bugs.archlinux.org yesterday but didn't receive an email with the registration code yet. I just want to ask if it is normal that it takes some time or if there might be a technical problem? Another user said that he is waiting rather long on a password reset so I thought I better ask here. Thanks Martin
