[arch-general] /etc/bash.bashrc not sourcing/setting HISTXXX environment
by David C. Rankin 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

All, I generally create a system-wide /etc/bash.bashrc.local file to contain history defaults. E.g.: $ cat /etc/bash.bashrc.local HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth:erasedups HISTIGNORE='[ ]*:&:?' (HISTSIZE & HISTFILESIZE are exported on a per-user basis in ~/.bashrc) I then just add a line to source it in /etc/bash.bashrc: $ cat /etc/bash.bashrc # # /etc/bash.bashrc # <snip> # - source /etc/bash.bashrc.local [ -r /etc/bash.bashrc.local ] && . /etc/bash.bashrc.local Both files are present and readable: $ ls -l /etc/bash.bashrc* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 697 Apr 6 20:01 /etc/bash.bashrc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 418 Mar 10 09:40 /etc/bash.bashrc.local I do this the same way on both Arch and SuSE. Chasing a bash bug on SuSE, I would check the the environment with: $ env | grep HIST HISTSIZE=20000 HISTFILESIZE=20000 HISTIGNORE= *:&:?:?? HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth:erasedups Doing a pacman update earlier to day, I just checked the environment on Arch on a whim: $ env | grep HIST HISTSIZE=5000 HISTFILESIZE=15000 Huh? Where is HISTIGNORE and HISTCONTROL? Is there something unique to Arch that prevents sourcing or prevents setting HISTXXX in this manner. I can't think of anything offhand that would prevent it, but it certainly isn't being set. Any ideas on why? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Lenovo carbon X1 and kernel 3.19 issues
by andrea crotti 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

Hi guys, I have a Lenovo Carbon X1 third generation, just bought a few months ago. Everything worked perfectly but a week ago I upgraded to the new kernel version: "Linux carbon 3.19.2-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 18 16:21:02 CET 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux" After that two problems started: 1. Audio doesn't work anymore, even speaker-test fails, I already tried everything and, the audio card still comes up, but nothing happens even using speaker-test, which makes me thing it might be a hardware issue, what do you think? $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice # card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 8: HDMI 2 [HDMI 2] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC3232 Analog [ALC3232 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 2. Sometimes after resuming from suspension Xorg becomes crazy. I use Awesome as VM and basically it still shows something but I can't click or do anything, and the weird thing is that if I kill "Awesome" and start it again, same problem. It only starts to work normally again when I reboot the machine. The problem is not Awesome either because I tried also Fluxbox and Xfce4 but still the same problem. I can't see any clue from the logs either, any idea what I could look at? Thanks a lot PS. About 1. sometimes while listening to music the computer would give a tiny shock that made the external monitor skip and a small shock in my headset, which was very annoying, and makes me thing is a hardware issue.

[arch-general] Why are there no debug packages?
by Andrew Chen 09 Apr '15

09 Apr '15

There has been many discussions and requests for separate debug symbol packages, even people offering to implement modifications needed for separate debug repos. But now, several years later, debug packages did not happen. I couldn't even find a definitive answer why there couldn't be debug packages in the official repos. So, why are there no debug packages (not even for the commonly requested ones like KDE and glibc)?

[arch-general] Kernel Module snd_seq_midi No Longer Inserted Automatically
by Steven Grace 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

I'd like help regarding a problem I'm having with kernel module snd_seq_midi. Until sometime in March this module was being automatically inserted; that's no longer happening. The module is still present and can be manually inserted with modprobe. I know that snd_seq_midi is part of package "linux" but I don't know what's responsible for automatically inserting the module. I'd appreciate any information as to how I can find out. The issue may have started with my update of linux to 3.19.2-1 on March 21. Today I updated linux to 3.19.3-1 but that didn't solve the problem. It's also possible that the issue is related to ALSA; I updated alsa-lib and alsa-utils to 1.0.29-1 on March 10. I'd appreciate any help regarding how snd_seq_midi used to be automatically inserted, or general information regarding how automatic module insertion works. Thanks.

[arch-general] Cannot use monitor in 1920x1080 anymore
by Alfredo Palhares 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

Hello fellow Arch users, Suddenly I cannot use my external monitor in the 1920x1080 mode, I add the following script that run every time I connect my thinkpad to the base: ``` #!/bin/bash set -x xrandr --output DP2-3 --mode 1920x1080 --right-of eDP1 xset m 1/2 1 ``` And after a update (I think) i can't use this resolution anymore. But when connecting the monitor to the laptop I still have that resolution ``` $ xrandr # Connected to the base Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 2646 x 1024, maximum 32767 x 32767 eDP1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 277mm x 156mm 1366x768 60.00*+ 1024x768 60.00 800x600 60.32 56.25 640x480 59.94 DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP2-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP2-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP2-3 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1024x768 60.00 + 75.08 1280x1024 75.02 60.02 800x600 75.00 60.32 640x480 75.00 60.00 720x400 70.08 HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) ``` ``` $ xrandr # Connected to the laptop VGA Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 2646 x 1024, maximum 32767 x 32767 eDP1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 277mm x 156mm 1366x768 60.00*+ 1024x768 60.00 800x600 60.32 56.25 640x480 59.94 DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP2 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1920x1080 60.00 + 1680x1050 59.95 1280x1024 75.02 60.02 1152x864 75.00 1024x768 75.08 60.00 800x600 75.00 60.32 640x480 75.00 60.00 720x400 70.08 DP2-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP2-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP2-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) ``` Any ideas how can I debug this problem further ? -- Regards, Alfredo Palhares

[arch-general] Little automation to install
by Bráulio Bhavamitra 05 Apr '15

05 Apr '15

Hello all, After some many years, I'm back to ArchLinux. One thing that took me time was to read the manuals and run all the commands for installation. That made me wonder on how automation might help things get easier and faster on install. Could you please tell the current works on that? The result of my work was this script: https://github.com/brauliobo/gitconfig/blob/master/histories/archinstall.sh cheers, bráulio -- "Lute pela sua ideologia. Seja um com sua ideologia. Viva pela sua ideologia. Morra por sua ideologia" P.R. Sarkar EITA - Educação, Informação e Tecnologias para Autogestão http://cirandas.net/brauliobo http://eita.org.br "Paramapurusha é meu pai e Parama Prakriti é minha mãe. O universo é meu lar e todos nós somos cidadãos deste cosmo. Este universo é a imaginação da Mente Macrocósmica, e todas as entidades estão sendo criadas, preservadas e destruídas nas fases de extroversão e introversão do fluxo imaginativo cósmico. No âmbito pessoal, quando uma pessoa imagina algo em sua mente, naquele momento, essa pessoa é a única proprietária daquilo que ela imagina, e ninguém mais. Quando um ser humano criado mentalmente caminha por um milharal também imaginado, a pessoa imaginada não é a propriedade desse milharal, pois ele pertence ao indivíduo que o está imaginando. Este universo foi criado na imaginação de Brahma, a Entidade Suprema, por isso a propriedade deste universo é de Brahma, e não dos microcosmos que também foram criados pela imaginação de Brahma. Nenhuma propriedade deste mundo, mutável ou imutável, pertence a um indivíduo em particular; tudo é o patrimônio comum de todos."
