[arch-general] ArchLinux in Open Invention Network
by Jackie Harper 28 Sep '19

28 Sep '19

Hello, Open Invention Network (OIN) is a patent non-aggression community that supports freedom of action in Linux as a key element of open source software. I've seen that the OIN includes several different distributions (Gentoo, Ubuntu derivatives etc). Would ArchLinux benefit from inclusion in this set? It looks like joining is as simple as filling out a form, no money needed and royalty-free. The full list of members is at: https://www.openinventionnetwork.com/community-of-licensees/ J.

[arch-general] FYI : zxing-cpp may crash kmail
by SET 23 Sep '19

kmail crashes when selecting an mail item containing an attachment. It seems to happen specially when it's a PDF attachment, I have not tested all types of attached files. gdb backtraces up to libZXingCore.so.

[arch-general] 2x 1440p displays not working on thunderbold dock anymore
by Ricardo Band 23 Sep '19

23 Sep '19

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Ahoi, I use Arch on a Thinkpad T480 with the Lenovo Thunderbold 3 dock. I've attached 2 1440p monitors to it and I was using them for a while now. For a few days or so I can't get them to work anymore. Usually I disable my Notebooks internal screen and enable the 2 1440p displays like this: ``` xrandr --output DP1-1 --mode 2560x1440 --refresh 144 xrandr --output eDP --off xrandr --output DP1-2 --mode 2560x1440 --refresh 144 --right-of DP1-1 ``` This used to work quite nicely. No idea if the refresh rate actually worked. I have no way to test that but the resolution sure did. Now when I do this I get this error: ``` xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed ``` I can only drive both displays at 1920x1080. When I increase the resolution to 2560x1440 I get this error and the higher resolution can't be set. I don't know why this doesn't work anymore. Could it be a driver issue? I've got a nvidia GPU with the proprietary driver and the integrated intel with the open source driver and it wouldn't be the first time intel or nvidia fucked their drivers up. - -- Greetings Ricardo Band https:// www.ricardo.band mailto:// email(a)ricardo.band xmpp://jabber@ricardo.band -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIyBAEBCgAdFiEEhyzgFNiV8yZuI1T5Gp1lfQa1gg4FAl189YYACgkQGp1lfQa1 gg6BaQ/2MbyhaCtK5uP7GC1Zads8KZ93pXSzrm5udreO/+z2ODW7jQe6Fy+0sSNY rkT8rcvQkylNwPyXyol3CbjXNDzxN17E2u9dJrrScIuXs/LcnfxtIAvlPToKsui1 H4JJbJKnLjZaUs0shrll82PJA4PXSe3t/t0hzflGK+Np+G1rm6Nc8y3Ev+cYkBt4 clW1sjEidHJN7lIfVsOcN72oeIhPJ0hO1JSV8E3lkLZ+78LYMKTf5ZKXO1E/2S5D fd2GOXYuvEJUZ9HBl0yqQTy0B/VGO7w0ui5z0DpvwtBLY9leAbD2pTmzAi3UkZeD MIcO7ZImt9N7rufgEkuUaM1/Qx6YZTh16+dWcKbFMUjASuCbz35Z5yvIprO7h/sW 8dRB4aCuq3M37Z4X8R1w65jkHV8EfrLuhyOFRZ/2FKGBzmwDa4V4fFbMH3fAtahJ uPjdszWVblzFRCnFTvwWXIRAK1dAEIgWMRbSoBMDcnuQxcG1LNaB9QnG5J0YkJAJ os+04Tsf6nRcA+/58SJdpd7BfTarQNEFsAY+5VHxGHgFJh1MnzXXbuVs13JlzYkI QmHTCa3OJ2TexlJzhBDyye7zGKbD4PxxKFiu3DKcUs+R3Ye30SdMzEki7s3VXejB vIbPfrqftWJwmUJIqyzgNFdf0/IfC465ikWtaUMxC4NeqZK+Pg== =xHOd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[arch-general] High lag in graphical applications
by LuKaRo 22 Sep '19

22 Sep '19

Hello everyone, I've got some serious lag in using graphical applications since Sunday. I was able to narrow it down quite a bit, but I can't find a solution. I'm using a ThinkPad P50s with Intel HD 520 and NVIDIA Quadro M500M graphics (but, AFAIK, only the Intel Graphics are used) with X11 and i3. Since Sunday, when using applications like thunar, xfce-terminal, firefox, thunderbird, ... every interaction (starting, clicking a menu, a menu item, sometimes even hovering) caused the whole GUI to freeze from ~5 secs to up to 30 secs (thunar seemed to be the worst, with folders opening in no less than 30 secs). However, scrolling lists, webpages, typing text, using terminal applications... worked with no lag. I ran multiple system updates every day, ensuring that my system was up-to-date, nothing helped. I tried switching to KDE then, noticing that while the old applications still caused the same lag, all KDE-Applications (KDE file manager etc.) worked with no lag. When switching from X11 to Wayland with KDE (or replacing i3 with sway), even the old applications (thunar, xfce-terminal, firefox, thunderbird, ...) work with nearly no lag. However, sometimes GUI interactions in thunderbird or firefox still cause high lag. When using XFCE, though, I couldn't find any noticeable lag. I tried downgrading the following packages (in that order): * mesa-vdpau (19.1.6-2 -> 19.1.5-1), lib32-mesa (19.1.6-1 -> 19.1.5-1), libva-mesa-driver (19.1.6-2 -> 19.1.5-1) * gtk3 (1:3.24.11-1 -> 1:3.24.10-1) * qt5-base (5.13.1-2 -> 5.13.0-7), qt5-declarative (5.13.1-1 -> 5.13.0-1), qt5-graphicaleffects (5.13.1-1 -> 5.13.0-1), qt5-imageformats (5.13.1-1 -> 5.13.0-1), qt5-location (5.13.1-1 -> 5.13.0-1), qt5-multimedia (5.13.1-1 -> 5.13.0-1), qt5-quickcontrols2 (5.13.1-1 -> 5.13.0-1), qt5-quickcontrols (5.13.1-1 -> 5.13.0-1), qt5-script (5.13.1-1 -> 5.13.0-1), qt5-sensors (5.13.1-1 -> 5.13.0-1), qt5-speech (5.13.1-1 -> 5.13.0-1), qt5-svg (5.13.1-1 -> 5.13.0-1), qt5-tools (5.13.1-1 -> 5.13.0-1), qt5-webchannel (5.13.1-1 -> 5.13.0-1), qt5-webengine (5.13.1-2 -> 5.13.0-1), qt5-webkit (5.212.0alpha3-4 -> 5.212.0alpha3-3), qt5-x11extras (5.13.1-1 -> 5.13.0-1), qt5-xmlpatterns (5.13.1-1 -> 5.13.0-1) * nvidia-utils (435.21-1 -> 430.40-2), nvidia (435.21-4 -> 430.40-5) * linux-headers (5.2.14.arch2-1 -> 5.2.4.arch1-1), linux-hardened-headers (5.2.14.a-1 -> 5.2.8.a-1), linux-firmware (20190815.07b925b-1 -> 20190717.bf13a71-1), linux-hardened (5.2.14.a-1 -> 5.2.8.a-1), linux (5.2.14.arch2-1 -> 5.2.4.arch1-1) * linux-firmware (20190717.bf13a71-1 -> 20190628.70e4394-1), linux (5.2.4.arch1-1 -> 5.1.16.arch1-1), linux-hardened (5.2.8.a-1 -> 5.1.16.a-1), linux-hardened-headers (5.2.8.a-1 -> 5.1.16.a-1), linux-headers (5.2.4.arch1-1 -> 5.1.16.arch1-1) * mesa (19.1.6-2 -> 19.1.5-1) And did a reboot after each step. However, none of them changed anything. Any ideas? Why does switching from i3 to KDE or even XFCE resolve the issue (partially)? Why does switching from X11 to Wayland do so as well? I'd like to continue using i3 without lag. Thanks in advance, Lukas

Hello, I've updated Gnome just now. 3.34 should have the new "app folders" feature by just dragging application icons onto each other. This doesn't work for me. Is there some build error on Arch? Why is this feature missing? Thanks in advance Manuel

[arch-general] Recent logwatch update may need a news item?
by Amish 20 Sep '19

20 Sep '19

Hello, Recently logwatch package was updated. The cron file (from cron.daily) was removed and replaced with systemd.timer. But logwatch.timer is not activated automatically, which means the users who use logwatch will stop getting daily "auditing" emails and may not realize this for some days that emails from logwatch have stopped coming. This requires manual intervention to activate logwatch.timer. Since keeping an eye on logs is very important thing to do, this should be put as NEWS item. (in my opinion). Additionally, current logwatch.service calls "/usr/sbin/logwatch" alone. Which means by default it sends output to systemd journal. (whereas cron based timer used to send an email to root which could be an alias to real email address) To preserve the existing behaviour, the ExecStart line should be changed to ExecStart=/usr/bin/logwatch --output mail" Even if this is not made a news item, this email is also sent to alert those users who use logwatch that they need to take following actions: 1) pacman -Syu 2) cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/logwatch.service.d/local.conf [Service] ExecStart= ExecStart=/usr/bin/logwatch --output mail 3) systemctl daemon-reload 4) systemctl --now enable logwatch.timer Regards, Amish.
