[arch-general] new packaging of the kernel/mkinitcpio/kmod
by Damjan Georgievski 04 Nov '19

04 Nov '19

Can someone explain in better detail the changes in * kmod 26-3 * mkinitcpio 27-1 * linux 5.3.8.1-1 around packaging and pacman hooks? I can see there's some reorganization of the hooks and scripts, and the kernel package no longer installing directly to /boot (which is a welcome change, the kernel is now only in /usr/lib/modules/5.3.8-arch1-1/vmlinuz) but it's not easy for me to reverse-understand what the bash scripts do exactly. I'm asking because I also use pacman hooks on the kernel and some other files in order to create my combined kernel+initramfs+cmdline UEFI executable signed for secure-boot, and it seems I'll have to adopt to a newer setup. -- damjan

[arch-general] sudo: setrlimit(RLIMIT_CORE): Operation not permitted
by Cem Keylan 31 Oct '19

31 Oct '19

Hello list, I have a script for bootstrapping Arch and I test it on the archlinux/base docker container everytime before I make a release in order to make sure everything runs fine. Yesterday, I have run the script on the container, and it started throwing an error everytime my script called "sudo". It doesn't break the functionality of sudo, so it runs the called function with root priviliges. The error is, "sudo: setrlimit(RLIMIT_CORE): Operation not permitted" The problem is not related to the script as it gives the same error on the container when I run sudo myself. I searched the wiki, the forum, and the internet but couldn't find a conclusive answer. My laptop is running the latest version of Arch and I have no issues with sudo. I have similarly updated the container to the latest version before running the script.

Hi guys. I have a Brazilian Lenovo Ideapad 330S-14IKB laptop and would like to add it to Wiki. I know there is a Lenovo 330S page, but it shows a different version. How can I proceed to create a new page or change the current one? Sorry to ask this, but I don't have much experience on Wikis. Thanks for your help. *Beste Grüße* *Tomás Schertel*

[arch-general] Silent boot with systemd and sd-encrypt initcpio hooks
by Sefa Eyeoglu 29 Oct '19

29 Oct '19

Hey there, I recently switched my mkinitcpio configs over to use systemd hooks instead of the default ones. Currently my hooks like like the following: HOOKS=(base systemd autodetect modconf block keyboard sd-vconsole sd-encrypt filesystems fsck) As you can see, I have an encrypted root partition. Before switching to systemd hooks, after typing the decryption password on boot there was no additional output. Now there is always the full systemd log where it says "Starting [unit]..." and so on. Kernel parameters: rd.luks.name=[long uuid]=cryptroot rd.luks.options=timeout=20 root=/dev/ mapper/cryptroot rw quiet loglevel=3 rd.systemd.show_status=false rd.udev.log_priority=3 i915.fastboot=1 I tried rearranging the parameters like putting "quiet loglevel=3 rd.systemd.show_status=false rd.udev.log_priority=3" before anything else and even tried putting it before AND after the rd.luks.* parameters with no success. Is this a bug with the systemd hooks or am I doing something wrong here... Thanks for looking into this issue! :D Kind regards -- Sefa Eyeoglu Free Software Developer scrumplex.net

[arch-general] Blank screen after an interval; maybe related to laptop power supply?
by Dartme 27 Oct '19

27 Oct '19

I turn on my laptop, sign in (Linux getty), and use the laptop for a couple minutes (no graphical applications), then the screen goes black and the machine does not appear to respond to any user input (CTRL+ALT+F2, etc.). The only recovery I have found is to hold the power button and restart. The logs show nothing. When I use the computer without the power supply plugged in, the problem doesn't manifest. I'm using a Dell Precision M 4700. Any suggestions? What should I be looking at to begin diagnosing the problem?

[arch-general] Resetting pacman-key Still Asks to Import.
by Ralph Corderoy 27 Oct '19

27 Oct '19

Hi, I have an Arch Linux laptop that hasn't been updated in a long time, mainly because it started to lock-up after a few minutes uptime, requiring a power cycle. I'm now trying to update all its packages in the hope the lock-ups have gone, and if not to have a more modern base for diagnosis. A ‘pacman -Syuw’ took a few goes but signature checking had problems, as did trying to update signatures. I resorted to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman/Package_signing#Resetting_all_t… that appeared to succeed. The next attempt at ‘pacman -Syuw’ gets to Total Download Size: 0.00 MiB :: Proceed with download? [Y/n] (250/250) checking keys in keyring [#############################################################################] 100% downloading required keys... :: Import PGP key 2048R/02FD1C7A934E614545849F19A6234074498E9CEE, "Christian Hesse (Arch Linux Package Signing) <arch(a)eworm.de>", created: 2011-08-12?

Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] This looks very similar to where I've been before. The next attempt to download those, now deleted, packages does no better. I'm going to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman/Package_signing#Disabling_signa… but would still like to understand what I should attempt instead. -- Cheers, Ralph.

[arch-general] grep
by siefke_listen＠web.de 27 Oct '19

27 Oct '19

Hello, I have a question about grep, okay yes is not direct Arch but I not find a information and here on list sure some profis with grep. The folder structure: content/de/blog/*.md content/fr/blog/*.md content/en/blog/*.md content/ru/blog/*.md To know which articles I have translate I grep through dates: grep -e "2019-10-1" content/blog/de (for the dates between 10 and 19) I become: grep -e "2019-10-1" content/de/blog/* content/de/blog/file1.md:date: 2019-10-10 content/de/blog/file2.md:date: 2019-10-12 content/de/blog/file3.md:date: 2019-10-14 content/de/blog/file4.md:date: 2019-10-16 Now is my question, How can I do the same in the other folders and all those that exist with the same date are hidden and when no file is present give out the file which is missing in other folders sort by date. The name of file is sure other, but the date is ever the same. grep -e "2019-10-1" content/en/blog/* No output > all files translated grep -e "2019-10-1" content/fr/blog/* content/de/blog/file4.md:date: 2019-10-16 > file is missed grep -e "2019-10-1" content/ru/blog/* content/de/blog/file3.md:date: 2019-10-14 > file is missed content/de/blog/file4.md:date: 2019-10-16 > file is missed Grep to the first folder (de) as a comparison to the others (en,fr,ru). I had try it with diff but it want not work. Would be great there is a idea. Thank you for help. Silvio

[arch-general] 4K Video Rendering Speeds with AMD Ryzen 3 3200G CPU and MSI GeForce GTX1650 4 GB GDDR5 GPU

Subject: 4K Video Rendering Speeds with AMD Ryzen 3 3200G CPU and MSI GeForce GTX1650 4 GB GDDR5 GPU Good day from Singapore, Technical specifications of my home supercomputer: [1] AMD Ryzen 3 3200G processor with Radeon Vega 8 Graphics [2] Gigabyte B450M DS3H SOC Socket AM4 Motherboard [3] 8 GB Transcend DDR4-2666 Memory [4] MSI GeForce GTX1650 4 GB GDDR5 GPU Early this morning in Singapore (27 Oct 2019 Sunday), a 1 hour 49 mins 4K Ultra HD video took 2 hours 47 mins to render. Well not too bad for an extremely budget AMD Ryzen 3 processor. It is still under 3 hours and definitely not more than 10 hours of the past (4K video rendering speeds). As a NUS university graduate, I live in extreme poverty in Singapore because I am a Targeted Individual. It looks like I will not need to fork out more money to buy a better supercomputer for myself in the future.
