[arch-general] [glibc 2.27] Lots of freeze with amdgpu driver on a Ryzen3 2200G.
by fredbezies 22 Apr '18

22 Apr '18

I noticed since glibc 2.27 update on testing repos, my archlinux based system freezes randomly. Freeze could happen after 10 minutes or 3 hours I deactivate testing repositories, downgrading packages and everything works back.

[arch-general] Kernel 4.16 - two entries in /dev/video for one webcam
by Marc Ranolfi 22 Apr '18

22 Apr '18

Hi, I use skypeforlinux-stable-bin-8.18.0.6-1 and an USB webcam. Upon updating to the 4.16 series kernel, I noticed my webcam was not working in Skype, but instead a black screen was shown. Then, after checking 'ls -ltrh /dev/video*' I found these: crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 1 Apr 21 21:11 /dev/video1 crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 0 Apr 21 21:11 /dev/video0 This suggested that a "second" device was being detected. I launched Skype again and found it was possible to actually change the input video device to this, and it worked. Any clues on why the new kernel is creating two video devices for one hardware?

[arch-general] Patch for ZeroTier One 1.2.6 to fix compilation with PIE
by Jonathon Fernyhough 21 Apr '18

21 Apr '18

Hi both! After doing some digging around the PIE-related build failures of ZeroTier One [1] 1.2.6 I've developed a fix and opened a PR to the upstream project [2]. The raw patch file is also available [3]. It will apply cleanly against the 1.2.6 release (archive/tag) and, in the testing I've done so far, works without issue. Best, Jonathon [1] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/zerotier-one/ [2] https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne/pull/722 [3] https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/zerotier/ZeroTierOne/pull/722.…

[arch-general] lynx and lynx-current packages start up error message
by Jude DaShiell 17 Apr '18

17 Apr '18

I take it since the following message goes out over stderr it's some kind of error. sh: line 0: test: .: binary operator expected This error happens after makepkg gets used to make and install lynx-current and happened earlier with lynx. To clear this error, do I need to adjust some configuration on this end? --

[arch-general] How best to adapt grub configuration?
by Jeanette C. 16 Apr '18

16 Apr '18

Hey hey, how would I best adapt Grub's configuration file (gurb.cfg)? The usecase: I use Grub's play command to play different melodies for different entries and one when Grub is ready to be used. The reason behind it: I'm blind and like to know quite early on what is happening. Where would I best put these changes so they will survive Grub updates and regeneration of the config file? Thanks and best wishes, Jeanette -------- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/jeanette_c * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c * Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeanette_c_s You should never try to change me I can be nobody else And I like the way I am <3 (Britney Spears)

[arch-general] AMDGPU on Wayland
by ente 16 Apr '18

16 Apr '18

Since the update on mesa 18.0.0-4 this morning I am having trouble to start gdm or any other 3d accelerated program on my AMD RX580. A rollback did not help. Xorg shows "DRI 2 and 3 are unavailable". Weston fails to start with a similar error. Anyone having similar problems? Which packages should I roll back to an older version? Thanks, ente

[arch-general] procps-ng 3.3.13 and its new topdefaultrc
by Jonathon Fernyhough 12 Apr '18

12 Apr '18

Much as I'm wary about raising this after last time... here goes. Really just putting this out there as a thing to consider if it's not already known about. With 3.3.13, upstream introduced support for a system-wide default toprc, /etc/topdefaultrc [1]. This is their "recommended" way of setting sensible/usable/accessible defaults rather than the "all or nothing" --disable-modern-top. I don't know what the specific implementation differences are between the two (e.g. whether topdefaultrc is compatible with/overrides --disable-modern-top) but it should provide an approach more "aligned to upstream". Coming up with a "sensible default", on the other hand, is likely to be more complicated... (I've gone for an htop-like scheme with a nice green 'column heads', idle tasks off (i), Zero-Suppress on (0), for Manjaro [2].)

[arch-general] Interesting Dual Boot Problems
by Hunter Jozwiak 11 Apr '18

11 Apr '18

Hello, I installed Windows 10 recently, and now I am having wifi issues. On the Windows side, the campus wifi will connect, but it will show that there is no internet connection. Booting in to Linux causes pings to fail with temporary failure in host resolution, and ip link shows that the wifi device is down. Doing sudo ip link set dev wlp3s0 up has no effect; from what I can tell, it is stuck in a permenant down state. dmesg reports that the "link is not ready". I've tried restarting the netctl profile for the campus network, restarting dhcp, resetting the pci device, but alas, things seem to be very broken. I am using a Killer n1525 network card. Has anyone else had a similar issue, and if so, how did you resolve it? Thanks, Hunter

[arch-general] Xorg/Firefox problems
by Peter Nabbefeld 11 Apr '18

11 Apr '18

Hello, since some time I've got problems with Xorg, it seems, sometimes the sessionmanager isn't initialised correctly: The application bar (menues, workspaces etc.) isn't shown, I have to shutdown Xorg right-clicking on the desktop for the menu and restart it. This isn't such a big problem, so I didn't ask for that before. Since Firefox changed to Quantum, I've got another problem with browser windows, which might be related: Browser windows don't open correctly, content often isn't shown. This _is_ a problem for me, as I don't want to look for everything again. Did anybody else have the same problems? How can I solve these? Kind regards Peter
