[arch-general] NFS server question
by Genes Lists 13 Sep '19

13 Sep '19

All: For client tracking and recovery on reboots NFS provides some mechanisms. My understanding is that nfsdcld is considered replaced by nfsdcltrack. However, while there is a system service unit for nfsdcld there is nothing for nfsdcltrack. The binary for both is available. Only the systemd service file is missing. Further nfs-server service file hardcodes nfsdcld with no option to use nfsdcltrack instead. What is the modern preferred way for the server to do client tracking? Thanks, gene

[arch-general] External monitors are no longer detected (Intel graphics)
by Bennett Piater 20 Aug '19

20 Aug '19

Hi, I'm using a Thinkpad T450s with Intel graphics. Yesterday, I could no longer connect external monitors via miniDP. They were not detected at all, either by xrandr in i3 or by sway (wayland). I didn't have time to dig out a VGA cable and try that, so I cannot rule out physical damage yet - I did try 2 monitors with different cables, both of which work with my wife's Thinkpad. Since wayland doesn't make a difference, I'm thinking maybe something broke with the (my?) drivers? Is there any other possibility apart from physical damage, and what do I try next? Cheers, Bennett

[arch-general] How to connect to iOS DCIM/APPLE* folders for copying items to the Linux PC
by Ralf Mardorf 16 Aug '19

16 Aug '19

Hi, is there a way to get access to the DCIM/APPLE* folders on an iOS device, without the need to install GVFS? Would it be possible with an app that depends on GVFS? If I follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IOS#Manual_mounting it works for user apps [1], but it fails for system apps [2]. Without rebooting the device, it still works for user apps, after it failed for system apps [3]. I'm even not sure if any listed system app has got anything to do with the DCIM/APPLE* folders. Until today I used Windows 7 running as a VirtualBox guest, to get access to those folders. iTunes file sharing still works, but access to DCIM/APPLE* folders doesn't allow to copy all items anymore. I likely could workaround this issue by moving photos and videos to another user app, such as Audio Share and then use iTunes file sharing, but doing so would be a PITA. Fortunately there's something good with running into this issue. Until now I launched Virtualbox to share files between my Linux DAW and iOS DAWs, but seemingly I can access the iOS DAWs by command line, no need to run Windows in a VM. I wasn't aware of this before.

[arch-general] Fractional HiDPI
by Yurii Kolesnykov 08 Aug '19

08 Aug '19

Hello archers, I’m looking to buy "24 4K monitor, the resolution is seems to be as twice as FullHD, but I don’t wan’t to use it as 2x, since I have bad eyes and do scaling of fonts across all desktops on my current "24 FullHD monitor anyway. But I didn’t tried a factorial DPI yet on the old one, since it definitely will look blurry. So I want to get some suggestions from community. Does Factorial screen DPI works good now across KDE and GNOME? On Arch Wiki I found only information on factorial DPI in GNOME. I know that macOS supports it well since last fall. Had anyone tried a factorial whole screen DPI? Or it will be better to stay as I’m now, just set 2x DPI for whole screen, and manually adjust font in every desktop/app/os?

[arch-general] Can't change tty's since last update
by Jeanette C. 30 Jul '19

30 Jul '19

Hey hey, since my last update, today, I sometimes can't change ttys. Using showkey I have checked that both the alt key and the f-keys are coming through. Might this be a kernel issues. I believe I came from 5.0.x and am now on 5.2.3. May it further be an indication that my jackd settings have lead to major xruns on input, using jackd1? Does anyone have an idea, maybe even where else to look for suspects?

[arch-general] pango 1:1.44-1 Renders Bitmap Fonts as Boxes.
by Ralph Corderoy 30 Jul '19

30 Jul '19

Hi, To save others' time, on upgrading to pango 1:1.44-1 today my terminal emulator and other programs displayed empty boxes instead of bitmap-font glyphs. This is due to deliberate dropping of support by Pango. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/issues/386 I don't think xterm(1) uses Pango given ldd(1)'s output, and it's happily displaying nice crisp glyphs. -- Cheers, Ralph.
