[arch-general] i3 and .zprofile
by Stefan Tatschner 27 Oct '15

27 Oct '15

Hi, I have recently switched from gnome to i3. I really like it, but there are still a few annoying problems left… Currently I use gdm to login; my login shell is set to zsh in /etc/passwd. I have several dotfiles, like ".zshrc" and ".zprofile" in $HOME. The problem is, that i3 does not seem to spawn a login shell correctly (is this even possible?). In gnome3 my settings in .zprofile are applied globally and just fine. In i3 the entire .zprofile is missed. Since .zprofile is sourced by interactive login shells, I guess that there might be a problem. Am I missing something here? Thanks, Stefan

[arch-general] Can't login after upgrading ncurses but not bash (partial upgrade)
by Nick Andryshak 26 Oct '15

26 Oct '15

Hello, I'm in a bit of a sticky situation, which is the result of me being an idiot and not knowing how to use Arch even after years of using it. I reinstalled ncurses with pacman, which I assume gave me ncurses 6 and removed ncurses 5. But I didn't upgrade bash (or zsh), I guess is still linked against 5, because when I try to login I get this error: $ ssh me(a)xyz.com Last login: Mon Oct 26 08:56:59 2015 from x.x.x.x -bash: error while loading shared libraries: libncursesw.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Connection to xyz.com closed. I can't use sftp either. Oh, also, this is on a vps, so I don't have physical access to the machine. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks, Nick

[arch-general] xbacklight, gnome brightness slider don't work, but changing rightness within /sys will
by Alexander Terry 24 Oct '15

24 Oct '15

as per subject, whenever i try to change my brightness with xbacklight -set, it doesnt work. it does not change the brightness. the same thing happenes in gnome, with the brightness slider on the top right menu. what does work is (as root) going into /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight, and changing the value in the brightness folder. there are no other folders in /sys/class/backlight.

[arch-general] pulseaudio, systemd --user and session problems
by Karsten Rode 21 Oct '15

21 Oct '15

Hi, I have a problem I think is related to the startup of a systemd user session. I noticed lately that pulseaudio does not automatically start, although I can start it form the command line later with $ pulseaudio --start After digging around I found that pulseaudio should be started by the systemd user session, so as a first test I did $ systemctl --user which gave Failed to list units: Process org.freedesktop.systemd1 exited with status 1 From what I recall, there are some conditions that has to be met in order for user sessions to work, and the output of $ loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID contains (among other things): Remote=no Service=lightdm Desktop=xfce Scope=session-c2.scope Leader=1118 Audit=0 Type=x11 Class=user Active=yes Does anybody have an idea of where o look for further information ? As you can see above I use lightdm as the display manager. -- Karsten

[arch-general] Gnome-Terminal can we update to 3.18.0.1
by Britt Yazel 21 Oct '15

21 Oct '15

Hi, I know that the reason Gnome-Terminal has not been upgrade from 3.18.0 is due to us waiting for the 3.18.1 release, however there is a ridiculous bug that causes the app to have a search bar that takes up 50% of the width of the window that I have been living with for 3 weeks, and which was fixed in 3.18.0.1. I hate to pester, but the package was flagged out of date weeks ago but still hasn't been updated, and this bug is impossible to ignore, and is cringe worthy. -Britt

[arch-general] Blue/Black Screen of Death with Plasma5
by Dutch Ingraham 19 Oct '15

19 Oct '15

Hi folks- The backstory: I bought a new el-cheapo multi-function printer-scanner today and as a consequence installed sane, xsane, and kdegraphics-ksaneplugin. I did all that while logged into my usual window manager, dwm. All was fine. Then I wanted to try the kde plugin, so logged into kde desktop and was presented with what appeared to be the blue screen of death (sometimes black). Plasma seems to start fine, i.e., splash screen goes through its usual motions, then the blue/black screen appears when the desktop usually does. However, not was all as it seemed. The entire kde suite works, i.e., mouse and keyboard, and most, but not all, applications (although to access them I need to alt-F2 and run them manually.) The only thing that does not seem to work is the desktop itself. I cannot say the packages I installed today are the cause - it could be any update within the last two weeks; as noted, I rarely log into the kde desktop. My uname -a is: Linux arch 4.2.3-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 3 18:52:50 CEST 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux My desktop is: plasma-desktop-5.4.2-1 As you can imagine, there are no shortage of google results regarding the blue/black screen. However, there was nothing current enough or otherwise useful. [1][2][3] Here's what I've tried so far, in no particular order: 1. removed kdegraphics-ksaneplugin; 2. re-installed plasma-desktop; 3. downgraded kactivities-frameworks; 4. removed ~/.kde and /tmp/kde-dutch. Logs don't show anything of importance (as I would expect, as Xorg starts and runs properly.) Top shows kwrapper5, dbus, polkit, kdeinit5, klauncher, kded5, kactivitymanager, etc., all running. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated; If further information is needed, please let me know.

[arch-general] Qemu / KVM 9p rootfs not booting automatically
by H8H 18 Oct '15

18 Oct '15

Hi I'm trying to paravirtualize my archs. Therefore I've created a directory and fill it with `pacstrap -d /root/arch base` After that I've chrooted into `arch-chroot /root/arch /bin/bash` Inside I've changed the /etc/mkinitcpio.conf MODULES="9p 9pnet virtio virtio_blk virtio_pci virtio_net" HOOKS="base udev block autodetect modconf filesystems keyboard fsck" (Don't know if all the stuff is necessary) I've saved that file and run `mkinitcpio -p linux` I've exit chroot and start vm on the host system qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel "/root/arch/boot/vmlinuz-linux" \ -initrd "/root/arch/boot/initramfs-linux.img" \ -virtfs local,id=r,path=/root/arch,mount_tag=r,security_model=passthrough \ -device virtio-9p-pci,fsdev=r,mount_tag=r \ -enable-kvm \ -nographic \ -append 'root=r rw rootfstype=9p rootflags=trans=virtio console=ttyS0' As you can see it drops a recovery shell.

[arch-general] No nVidia support on Apparmor kernel
by João Miguel 14 Oct '15

14 Oct '15

Hey there, I've used the ABS to compile a kernel with the CONFIG_AUDIT=y and CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR=y options enabled. Apparmor and audit work just fine, but when I tried to start a game, I failed. The following errors occur only when using the apparmor enabled kernel (independently of kernel boot parameters to enable/disable apparmor). $ lsmod | grep nvidia $ modprobe nvidia modprobe: FATAL: Module nvidia not found. $ glxgears Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual $ glxinfo name of display: :0 Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". Anything that doesn't require fancy graphics works (though libreoffice and some other programs complain anyway). The configuration files are much alike (diff attached) with only apparmor and audit options changed, and a few others presumably by `make config`. I also tried to use `make nconfig` in the PKGBUILD to change them, to the same effect. By following the wiki, I eventually found this out: $ ls /lib/modules/extra* /lib/modules/extramodules-4.2-apparmor: version /lib/modules/extramodules-4.2-ARCH: bbswitch.ko.gz nvidia.ko.gz nvidia-uvm.ko.gz version $ modprobe -c > ARCH.modprobe-c # with default kernel loaded $ modprobe -c > apparmor.modprobe-c # with compiled kernel loaded $ # ^^^-- diff attached to this message The diffs of these files clearly show the apparmor kernel seems to have no nvidia support, while the compile time configuration files show no difference in this matter. Using insmod doesn't work, as those extra modules are compiled for another kernel (error "Invalid module format"). But how are they there? I couldn't find any information on EXTRA modules in the wiki, never heard about them. Seems they are compiled separately: $ pacman -Qo /lib/modules/extramodules-4.2-ARCH/* /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-4.2-ARCH/bbswitch.ko.gz pertence a bbswitch 0.8-37 /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-4.2-ARCH/nvidia.ko.gz pertence a nvidia 355.11-3 /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-4.2-ARCH/nvidia-uvm.ko.gz pertence a nvidia 355.11-3 /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-4.2-ARCH/version pertence a linux 4.2.2-1 I guess at least now I know it's not some weird compilation option I forgot about... Might as well put the compiled kernel in the AUR. I doubt nvidia is giving away source code to compile that... Is this a dead end? Or perhaps the guys with nvidia and OpenSUSE found a way? How can I get that nvidia extra module to work on ? And why is it an "extra"? Wait, now I think of it, maybe I can make this work. Maybe I can get this to work with ABS, by pointing to the correct headers to the nvidia package. I will post this now because possibly someone else knows best, and if I end up solving my own problem, at least the solution becomes available for anyone looking for it. I found the answer to 60% of my original questions regarding this problem, while writing this email, if I don't post this now I may never do. I hope you're okay with this. Note: I sent this a while ago, got an error that it was too large, so now I used diff -c3 on the original attachments. Thanks for your time, João Miguel

[arch-general] [dkms] Don't load blacklisted modules when starting dkms.service
by Simon Brulhart 14 Oct '15

14 Oct '15

Hello, I found that when starting the dkms service, every dkms module is loaded right after, even the ones that are blacklisted. The behavior is avoidable by adding the '-b' option to modprobe, in the dkms start script (/usr/lib/systemd/scripts/dkms), line 26. I don't see any drawback in adding this option, and the resulting behavior seems more intuitive in my option. It would also help prevent some issues as the one described here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=189032 Basically when using bumblebee and nvidia-dkms, the dkms service loads the nvidia and nvidia_uvm module after bumblebeed starts, which powers the discrete graphic card back on indefinitely. I wasn't sure if I should directly post an issue on the bugtracker, or first discuss about it here. Cheers Simon

[arch-general] glibc-2.22-4?
by Oon-Ee Ng 12 Oct '15

12 Oct '15

Was just doing an update, and saw glibc-2.22-4. Updating that gave the following error:- [2015-10-12 07:43] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] bash: loadlocale.c:130: _nl_intern_locale_data: Assertion `cnt < (sizeof (_nl_value_type_LC_COLLATE) / sizeof (_nl_value_type_LC_COLLATE[0]))' failed. This totally hosed my system, so I had to download the ISO and downgrade. However I can't seem to find glibc-2.22-4 anymore, not even on www.archlinux.org. Did I have a compromised mirror, or was it simply a mistake in pushing? For reference, I provide my top-most mirror (generated from reflector months ago) in case that's useful:- Server = http://archlinux.polymorf.fr/$repo/os/$arch

[arch-general] Mkvtoolnix-gui/cli
by Vladimir Nikšić 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

Hi. After the latest "pacman -Syu" I'm having a weird issue, I've upgraded the mkvtoolnix package, and I seem to have lost the "mmg" program. This was a gui for mkvmerge basically but with a nice featureset and I was using it heavily for editing home videos I'm making with my smartphone and other stuff. Looking over the official site, mmg seems to be active still, while it's totally missing from the arch packages. I've tried downgrading the package from the cached packages, but I'm getting weird runtime errors, probably depending on a different library: Warning: Mismatch between the program and library build versions detected. The library used 3.0 (wchar_t,compiler with C++ ABI 1008,wx containers,compatible with 2.8), and your program used 3.0 (wchar_t,compiler with C++ ABI 1009,wx containers,compatible with 2.8). And when merging files, I'm getting errors about timestamp mismatches among the mkv files, although I've not changed the way I'm encoding the videos, this might be related. I'm hoping it was simply missed from packaging. I'll compile the program myself if needed, but maybe it's an oversight. Any info is welcome. Thanks! :)

[arch-general] Manual startup of systemd/user
by Zorro 02 Oct '15

02 Oct '15

Hello, On my arch linux computer I have a vncserver running. I can connect to my arch linux system with vnc. Because the vnc user is not authenticated against PAM a systemd/user instance is not started for user vnc. And I would like to have a systemd/user instance for user vnc running because for instance pulseaudio depends on it. Is it possible to start manually an instance of systemd/user for user vnc? Is /'loginctl/ enable-linger vnc' the right way to start systemd/user for user vnc or is there another way? Kind regards, Harm-Jan Zwinderman

[arch-general] AFS home drive under GNOME no longer working
by Patrick Helfenstein 02 Oct '15

02 Oct '15

I asked this question in the forum as well, but got no answers. Hoping to have better luck here. I use my asf drive as home directory at work. So far this has worked fine, but something broke some time ago. Gnome-terminal acts like I don't have any valid tickets and denies access to my files. klist shows that I obtained the correct tickets (kerberos and afs) and when I switch to console, everything works absolutely fine. Running 'tokens' in the console lists my afs ticket, but the same command run from gnome-terminal acts as if there was no ticket. Very strange. I first thought it was a kernel issue, so I downgraded the kernel to a known working version and reinstalled openafs and openafs-modules-dkms from aur. No change, and why should it since it was always running outside of gnome. Oh, and I use krb5-auth-dialog for automatic ticket renewal. Very strange issue, I wonder why it doesn't work... Any ideas?

[arch-general] Glade package outdated
by Lukas K. 24 Sep '15

24 Sep '15

Hi there, the glade package is outdated for quite some time now. Glade 3.19 has been released June this year and still isn't included in the Archlinux repos. I flagged the package out of date several times, but the flag got reset without the package being updated. Are there any roadblocks in updating the package to 3.19? I'm running Glade 3.19 for some time without any issues. Lukas

[arch-general] man page selection helper for arch
by David C. Rankin 24 Sep '15

24 Sep '15

All, For what it is worth, I like to have an automatic list of manual pages presented when there is more than one matching page available (similar to whatis) I also like to be able to select which page to display from the that list, without having to type 'man pg name' again. This has always been a feature on some oh the other distros. I couldn't find anything that would do that on Arch, so I wrote a small function that can be aliased to provide the functionality. If you're interested, it is: ## function to alias as man on arch to provide # user selection of available man pages manselect() { [ -z "$1" ] && return 1 if [ -z "$2" ]; then local timeout=5 local pgs=( $(whatis "$1" | sed -e 's/^.*[(]//' -e 's/[)].*$//') ) local npgs=${#pgs[@]} [ $npgs -eq 0 ] && return 1 local pg=${pgs[0]} if [ $npgs -eq 1 ]; then /usr/bin/man $pg "$1" else local line while read -r line; do printf " %s\n" "${line%)*})" done < <(whatis "$1") printf "Select a man page (%s): " "$pg" read -t $timeout ans && pg=$ans || echo "" /usr/bin/man $pg "$1" fi else if [ ${1:0:1} -eq ${1:0:1} ] >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then /usr/bin/man $1 "$2" else printf "error: invalid man page specification: '%s'\n" "man $1 $2" fi fi } I just include it as a function in .bashrc and then provide an alias: alias man='manselect' You can adjust the order the man pages are presented in by adjusting the SECTION order in /etc/man_db.conf. This can tailor the order of which page is shown by default if no selection is made. Thought I would pass it along... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Kernel NULL pointer and crash - raid bug in 4.1.6 - and fix
by Genes Lists 21 Sep '15

21 Sep '15

I (and others) have enocuntered a pretty nasty raid bug that crashes the machine running current 4.1.x stable. It seems a commit is available but not yet in 4.1.6. (commit 49895bcc7e566ba455eb2996607d6fbd3447ce16) Seems like it is in 4.2 tho. Not sure it's worth patching 4.1.6 with this if 4.2 is imminent - but it may be - it kills the machine and has caused some file lossage. Bugzilla: Upstream: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103711 Arch : https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/46188 Tobias - what do you suggest best way to proceed - skip as 4.2 is out or patch 4.1.6? Thanks gene/

[arch-general] sddm crashing with plasma
by Genes Lists 21 Sep '15

21 Sep '15

Anyone else seeing this - started after systemd 226 update. It starts sometimes - most often crashes on warm reboot - cold reboot seems more likely to work. Feels like a threading bug (missing mutex somewhere, or a barrier or something). Symptom: Reboot - sddm won't start. Log: ddm-helper[4240]: segfault at 14 ip 000000000042965e sp 00007ffdec4eb3b0 error 4 in sddm-helper[400000+3a000] Rebooting cold - will usually get it running again with no errors.

[arch-general] pulseaudio 6.99 in [testing], daemon can't start, chokes on module-native-protocol-unix

Anyone else seeing this? My default.pa is stock (it wasn't before, but I reverted the minor changes and no change in behaviour), and the daemon just won't start. If I comment out module-native-protocol-unix it will, but of course it's not usable that way. Reported it as a bug on freedesktop[1], but I'd be surprised if its actually a bug given how I'd assume I'm not the only [testing] user using this... any ideas?

[arch-general] Can we talk about the systemd mkinitcpio hook for a minute?
by Chris Bell 20 Sep '15

20 Sep '15

Hello all, First off, apologies if this has been/is being discussed elsewhere, but this has been on my mind for quite some time. The state of the systemd mkinitcpio hook has been bothering me recently. It seems that there is some confusion/ambiguity about what capabilities, precisely, said hook provides; particularly with regards to replacing the 'base' hook at some point. I think it's effectively ready now; I've been using the systemd hook without base and udev for some time now. The only sticking point seems to be with the rescue and emergency shells. Of the 19 open systemd bugs [0], four of them [1-4] deal with systemd not providing an emergency/rescue shell and/or busybox/maintenance tools to the initrd image. Based on my understanding of the status quo, the systemd init hook is intended to simplify and streamline the boot process and the initrd image for systemd-based systems. The hook currently does this. It does not provide any functional rescue capabilities (you can get to an emergency shell, but it doesn't work), and I don't think it should. The use case for initrd-based rescue shells is very small and specific; many of these use cases can make do with a live image or something similar. Basically, my view is this: the systemd hook should only provide boot functionality, and not contain rescue/emergency targets/shells by default. The problem with providing such functionality is that the dependencies and binary include requirements quickly spiral out of control when providing a full shell within the initrd (sulogin, busybox, any rescue tools, etc). Having so many dependencies goes against the simplicity that the systemd hook is trying to accomplish. If anything, I propose a new hook, sd-rescue, which provides rescue.{target,service}, emergency.{target,service}, busybox, and minimal binaries useful for rescuing a system. This can be used in situations where live-image booting is not an option, or where the sysadmin prefers the option of initrd emergency/rescue functions. Also, we should maybe stop including emergency.target with the systemd hook, since it doesn't seem to work in most cases. -- Chris [0] https://bugs.archlinux.org/?project=1&cat%5B%5D=31&string=systemd [1] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/44493?project=1&cat%5B0%5D=31&string=systemd [2] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/45480?project=1&cat%5B0%5D=31&string=systemd [3] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/42399?project=1&cat%5B0%5D=31&string=systemd [4] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36265?project=1&cat%5B0%5D=31&string=systemd

Re: [arch-general] race condition when upgrading the new ncurses package
by Martti Kühne 20 Sep '15

20 Sep '15

I had these messages for the readline update in question, too. I think it's just natural that if ncurses is a dep of readline and readline is a dep of bash, that bash would link the ncurses.so it was built against. During the update, readline's post-upgrade install-snippet can't be run with bash, because bash links it and its own dependency ncurses, which, as a dependency, is already upgraded to provide the newest version. To have a fully up to date info directory, it appears, the install-info updates that are attempted for readline need to be executed by hand after running pacman -Syu. All this is obvious if you look at the install file you should have in /var/abs/*/readline/ and basic knowledge about how archlinux packages work. In fact, I guess it's sort of a logical requirement to using archlinux to catch these things, because, as is denoted in the wiki, partial updates are unsupported [0] and your system forcefully goes through partially updated state during an update... cheers! mar77i [0] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman#Partial_upgrades_are_unsupported

[arch-general] Firefox display problem

Using Firefox to access http://cnn.com, photos show up, but often have a superimposed small, hollow rectangle in the center of each. The rectangles contain the characters "FI" above the characters "33". Is this a sign of some missing component from Firefox, or just an error at the cnn.com website? Or something else?

All the uncommented lines in the makefile I am blaming are as follows: SHELL = /bin/sh PREFIX = ./BUILDS TARGET = coil_inducer CC = gcc CFLAGS = -02 clean: rm -f *.o rm -f coil rm -f tables I had commented out the workings of that makefile in an attempt to learn how it works, and added some of the earlier lines, but accidently did not comment out the last 4. I don't know why it would modify my settings but? So now sublime is working, but I want all my old tweaks back, wish me luck in recovering them.

Please send me a list of Message-IDs of the mails that are missing so I have something to look for. In most clients you should be able to view the message source (Thunderbird and at least my claws-mail have it bound to crtl+u) and then look for the Message-ID header. Also for kicks I'm sending this to arch-general myself. Let's see if it works. Florian

[arch-general] Makefile possibly removed libc?
by vattan 11 Sep '15

11 Sep '15

So I am trying to learn about c programming and I was editing a simple c program I got off the web. I was modifing the makefile to understand what it does and after building it from inside sublimetext 2 I noticed that my root directory had zero free space. I rebooted and had 2 gigs free again, but now when I try to launch sublime text I get a segfault. Dmesg reports an error 4 in libc-2.21.so I have not had any internet connection on this machine for 2 months so I know it wasn't update related. My key suspect is the last few line of the make file which I thought I had commented out but actually missed and read: Clean: rm -f *.so rm -f coil rm -f tables When I built it from the terminal in its directory it may have been fine, but when I built it thru sublime I suspect the path was different in some way and it deleted files it shouldn't have. Can anyone help me out here? Sublime is what this pc is for and I am kind of hosed! Can I just rebuild some library? Is my suspicion misplaced and you need more info? Is there a way to see what files have been deleted in the last 24 hours dispite a reboot?/ Thanks!

Hi, I noticed that ping in [testing]/iputils does not work on systems with disabled IPv6 stack. For example (as root): ---------- # ping archlinux.org ping: socket: Operation not permitted (raw socket required by specified options). # cat /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=../vmlinuz-linux ... ipv6.disable=1 ... # pacman -Qo ping /usr/bin/ping is owned by iputils 20150815.1b5d03a-2 # getcap /usr/bin/ping /usr/bin/ping = cap_net_raw+ep ---------- I tried playing with cmdline options, without any success. ping from [core]/iputils 20140519.fad11dc-1 does work. Is this a bug or a feature, and does anyone know how to make ping work again?

The package "ca-certifcates" is a virtual package that provided by "ca-certificates-utils" too, so you can simply remove ca-certificates-cacert together with ca-certificates. -- Regards, Felix Yan

Hi, the ca-certificates package depends on ca-certificates-cacert, which in my opinion should not be the case. What seems to be the proper way to remove CAcert certificates from the trust store? Just remove the certs with `trust anchor`, or pacman -Rdd ca-certificates-cacert? Both seem to be temporary fixes.

[arch-general] systemd-networkd 226 in virtual machines
by Damjan Georgievski 09 Sep '15

09 Sep '15

in 226, systemd-networkd now supports predictable interface names for virtio devices.[1] For people running Arch in KVM with virtio-net (as I do), that means the network interface name will change from eth0 to - in my case - ens5. That, for me also meant no ip address after reboot. Make sure to set [Match]Name=en* or some such before rebooting.

Hello. Tex Live 2015 was released on June 11. The Arch packages were flagged out-of-date on June 13. I'm wondering if there is any reason for the hold-up. Other than the maintainers(s) being busy of course.

[arch-general] ca-certificates update
by mick 07 Sep '15

07 Sep '15

After re-installing in july I'm having problems with certificates and was pointed to https://www.archlinux.org/news/ca-certificates-update/ ca-certificates update 2014-12-11 - Jan Steffens The way local CA certificates are handled has changed. If you have added any locally trusted certificates: 1 Move /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/*.crt to /etc/ca-certificates/trust-source/anchors/ 2 Do the same with all manually-added /etc/ssl/certs/*.pem files and rename them to *.crt 3 Instead of update-ca-certificates, run trust extract-compat Also see man 8 update-ca-trust and trust --help. when I tried step 2: move /etc/ssl/certs/*.pem to /etc/ca-certificates/trust-source/anchors/ and rename them to *.crt I found 1 the mv command seems to have lost the ablity to rename files as they are moved. 2 moving or copying the *.pem file results in adirectory full of broken links. I think the solution might be to create symlinks to the real files, located at /etc/ca-certificates/extracted/cadir instead of linking to link to the files but before I try that I want to be sure I wont break anything. mick

[arch-general] Strange mdadm fail to activate root raid1 array - resulting in loss of libraries and pacman data?
by David C. Rankin 01 Sep '15

01 Sep '15

All, I saw TB's patch posts to the kernel-raid mailing list. I believe I experienced the same systemd-mdadm error which resulted in ~440 libraries being left as 0-byte files and pacman losing all reference to what files where owned by what packages. In my case dmesg showed the system never made any attempt to activate sda7 as part of the root array (md1) on boot. Following a --fail, --remove and --add to re-add sda7 worked as advertised. However, on next reboot, grub was found and launched the kernel, only to have the system crash due to /usr/lib/libkmod.so "file too short" (0-byte). Attempting to re-install the kernel to attempt to address the issue resulted in: [2015-08-31 15:58] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] ==> WARNING: No modules were added to the image. This is probably not what you want. [2015-08-31 15:58] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] ==> Creating gzip-compressed initcpio image: /boot/initramfs-linux.img [2015-08-31 15:58] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] ==> WARNING: errors were encountered during the build.

E.g. # pacman -Ql unixodbc # (showed no files) all of this occurred with mdadm 3.3.2-2, which is still the current package. TB's original post at the kernel raid list regarding the patch is: [PATCH 0/2] mdadm: Fix udev rule interaction with systemd, http://www.spinics.net/lists/raid/msg49678.html The explanation of the losses on my system posted to the list are: Re-add of raid1 drive resulted in strange loss of data on Archlinux? http://www.spinics.net/lists/raid/msg49704.html Are these the symptoms (or related symptoms) that the TB's patch is intended to address? This has only occurred once since the current mdadm was installed back on 2015-05-26. What is the recommended work-around until a fix is in place? (validate all arrays with /proc/mdstat) But then how to handle a degraded boot? I did --fail, --remove --add, and ended up with a mess. Is there some other suggested way to handle this? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] GA-990FX - on boot I get IO_PAGE_FAULT & AMD-Vi: Event logged??
by David C. Rankin 31 Aug '15

31 Aug '15

All, Installed arch on a new gigabyte GA-990FX-UD3 board with a AMD FX-8350. This is the board I had to enable IOMMU in the BIOS to get the Realtek 8111/8168/8411 onboard NIC to work. Ever since enabling IOMMU, I get kernel messages regarding Page_Faults and AMD Vi Events. Enabling the kernel parameter amd_iommu=on seems to have stopped some of the xhci-hcd messages printed to the screen, but they are still in dmesg.

[arch-general] Extremely slow battery status on MBP
by Emanuel Evans 31 Aug '15

31 Aug '15

Apologies for the repeat posting--I think my previous posting ended up bouncing due to some misconfigured dmarc settings. Anyways, I have kind of a weird issue that I'm having trouble debugging. On my MacBook Pro (11,1), checking battery status (through acpi or the /sys filesystem) becomes extremely slow after the computer's been on for a while. Here's an example: $ time cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status Charging real 0m54.519s user 0m0.000s sys 0m4.663s dmesg and journalctl aren't outputting anything during the call, and I tried strace during the command and there was no output during the blocked time. It's highly intermittent--acpi can take anywhere from 0-60 seconds with no discernible pattern, except that it doesn't happen when the battery is plugged in and charged. Any ideas for how to debug this further, or possible solutions? Thanks so much!

[arch-general] Having trouble understanding UEFI booting
by mick 29 Aug '15

29 Aug '15

I've been trying to install archlinux on my Lenovo B50-70 laptop and got stuck installing grub boot loader inconjunction with UEFI. Either I'm miss understanding the wiki pages on the subject and/or the wiki pages could do with a bit more clarity. I'm dual booting arch and windows 8.1, previously I had ubuntu 14.04 but when I upgraded to 15.04 it got too messed up so I decided to bite the bullet and go with arch. The disk is currently split into 11 partitions part size code name 1 1 gb 2700 Basic data partion windows or lenovo 2 260mb EF00 EFI system partition 3 1 gb ED01 Basic data partion windows or lenovo 4 128mb 0C01 Microsoft reserved 5 71gb 0700 Basic data partion windows system 6 25gb 0700 Basic data partion windows or lenovo 7 14gb 2700 Basic data partion windows or lenovo 8 153gb 0700 shared NTFS data partition 9 78gb 8304 Linux / 'root' partition 10 9 gb 8200 swap 11 108gb 8302 /home when installing I have only used partitions 9, 10 & 11. partitions 1 - 8 were on the disc from the windows pre-install and shrunk to make way for linux. A recent operation is affecting my concentration and comprehension so be kind please. mick

[arch-general] Weird glitch with X keymap
by Mauro Santos 28 Aug '15

28 Aug '15

Like the subject says I have stumbled upon a weird glitch with X keymap. The TL;DR version is the keymap on a usb keyboard that I have connected to my laptop is wrong until I press any key on my laptop's keyboard. I have a workaround in place but I would like to fix this properly. Now the long version. I am configuring X's keymap with /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keymap.conf, which contains: Section "InputClass" Identifier "Keyboard Defaults" MatchIsKeyboard "yes" Option "XkbLayout" "pt" Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" EndSection I'm using XFCE and it should not be messing with the keyboard configuration, the keyboard configuration utility is set to "Use system defaults". If I'm using only my laptop's built-in keyboard this works as expected and the pt keymap is (or seems to be) properly set as soon as XFCE starts. Now I have a usb mouse/keyboard combo (Logitech MK520) connected to the laptop, as I have put the laptop to the side to use a larger monitor. The weird problem manifests itself when starting XFCE either if starting XFCE with the keyboard already plugged in or if I plug the keyboard after start XFCE. If I start XFCE and use the laptop's keyboard first, the keymap is correct. If I start XFCE and use the usb keyboard first, the keymap is wrong, as far as I can tell it seems to be using the us keymap. If I start XFCE and press any key on laptop's keyboard before using the usb keyboard, then the keymap on the usb keyboard is correct. I have looked through X's logs and nothing seems to be out of place and the pt layout is the only thing that is present in the logs, there is no mention to the us layout. The output of 'setxkbmap -query -v' is the same before and after pressing any key on the laptop's keyboard to "fix" the problem with the usb keyboard. There is nothing on the journal or dmesg that might point to the problem. The workaround I have in place is using running 'setxkbmap pt' automatically (via autostart) after I start XFCE, in this case things work as they should. Google did not help with this and the is nothing on the wiki about this weird problem. Has anyone seen this behavior before? Any ideas on how I can properly fix this? -- Mauro Santos

I also recommend rEFInd for a similar reason. It's much simpler to install than grub and it will probably autodetect both Arch and Windows.

[arch-general] aurweb is not synchronized with AUR4
by Roman Rader 27 Aug '15

27 Aug '15

Noticed that when I update package via git for AUR4 information about package is not updating on aurweb. For example: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vagga-bin AND https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=vagga-bin Version and dependencies in PKGBUILD updated, but web shows old ones. And 'yaourt' also shows old versions, btw.

[arch-general] PHP - libphp5.so, OR php-fpm and mod_proxy_fcgi, OR php5 with apache2-mpm-worker and mod_fcgid
by David C. Rankin 26 Aug '15

26 Aug '15

All, When I last loaded a full server install in 2013, at that time, the use of libphp5.so was discouraged by the wiki, indicating that path was likely to be deprecated. The wiki suggested an alternate install using php-fpm and mod_proxy_fcgi, or php5 with apache2-mpm-worker and mod_fcgid as the preferred approaches for PHP. Fast forward 2-years, a failed disk controller and a new server build in 2015. Configuring PHP, I was surprised to find libphp5.so still an option, much less the first option suggested in the wiki. What happened? What is the proper-suggested PHP configuration? Is libphp5.so still on its way out? (there is no indication this is still the case). I have a relatively lightly used web-server, so the use of mod_mpm_prefork and loss of threading is not an issue with my setup. Why would I choose either php-fpm and mod_proxy_fcgi, or php5 with apache2-mpm-worker and mod_fcgid as an alternative to libphp5.so for my PHP config on Arch? I'm trying to find out what the trade-offs are and whether it would make sense to use one way over another. Ideas? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] LTS Kernels
by bildermejl76＠gmail.com 25 Aug '15

25 Aug '15

Hello, I have been thinking about instslling an LTS kernel, but I don't have the skills to make complete sense of the wiki pages about grub and kernel installation. I have 4.1.15 installed now and not so many GUI programs installed beside Libre Office, web browser... mostly CLI utilities. But I wonder if I can install an LTS kernel in an already existing installation as a fallback? The wiki sounds fairly straight forward, but I get lost where it says "install kernel" without saying how, and to "edit the grub config file" without an explanation, and to "generate the main configuration file". Not sure whether I am getting in way over my head or if it is actually quite simple. That's what I need to know. Thanks, David – Skickat från Mailbox

All, After bandaiding my server back together by putting a 4-port pci-sata controller in it to work around the failed onboard disk controller, the system is up and running fine. In the BIOS, currently the onboard sata controller is 'Enabled', but each of the sata ports is 'Disabled'. When I check the status of something with systemclt, I get an odd error at the end of each command, eg: [15:47 phoinix:~/.ssh] # sc status smbd ● smbd.service - Samba SMB/CIFS server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/smbd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Sat 2015-08-22 22:57:26 CDT; 1 day 16h ago Main PID: 542 (smbd) CGroup: /system.slice/smbd.service ├─542 /usr/bin/smbd -D └─559 /usr/bin/smbd -D Bus error (core dumped) Looking at the journal and looking at the core dumps, the only other process that is implicated is: Cannot add dependency job for unit cups.socket, ignoring: Unit cups.socket failed to load: No such file or directory. Nothing else is generating a core dump. But each time I check the status of a process, it ends with: Bus error (core dumped) The only other thing I see in the journal that may or may not be related is: Aug 24 14:21:58 phoinix systemd[13187]: pam_unix(systemd-user:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0) Aug 24 14:21:58 phoinix systemd[13187]: Unit type .busname is not supported on this system. I don't know if that's related, but it was the only thing else tangentially related to 'bus'.

[arch-general] unable to load virtualbox kernel module

[arch-general] Realtek 8111/8168/8411 Blues - cannot get dhcpcd address (link UP)
by David C. Rankin 24 Aug '15

24 Aug '15

All, As a continuation of the disc controller failure/system rebuild, I have the new box built and a pair of fresh drives waiting for a new Arch install. This motherboard has the Realtek 8111/8168/8411 chipset. (Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 motherboard). I am booting with the latest install medium which boots fine in legacy or EUFI mode. No matter what I do, I cannot get an IPv4 address. I have read: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_configuration#Realtek_no_link_… (that's not the problem, link light is on, activity indicator is flashing, and link is reported 'Up' by 'ip link') I have read: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_configuration#Realtek_RTL8111.… - installed (pacman -U r8168-8.040.00-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz) - blacklisted r8169 - loaded r8168 - confirmed the NIC is using r8168 w/lspci -v - systemctl restart dhcpcd (many times) - systemctl status dhcpcd reports no IPv6 Routers no IPv4 Leases request timeout It's not the cable or my dhcpd server, I boot the box with the failed disc controller, and it is assigned an address just fine. (same cable) I'm stuck, looking at the log on my dhcp server, the requests are never seen. It's like the card isn't sending, but the link light is fine and the activity light on the NIC is flashes when it sees traffic? What else can I try? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I installed Komodo Edit and I want to put a quick launch button on my task bar but it doesn't show up in the list of "installed applications". That is weird because it shows up in the "Menu" in the "Programming" section. I use lxde.

HI The weechat package now installs to /usr/local after the recent update. Can the maintainer look into it. I looked into the PKGBUILD, but there is no change in the way the package is compiled. Only sources have been updated. Regards Jagan

[arch-general] debug package repositories again
by Joe Julian 15 Aug '15

15 Aug '15

It's been hashed and rehashed, but I need to bring this up again. Every other popular distro has a way of debugging without completely rebuilding a package, saving countless combined hours. Why can't we just have a way of installing the symbols? When I find a bug, I don't want to spend another hour building python, for instance. I want to install the symbols, open up gdb, and figure out where the problem is. I'll report it, probably fix it, and we'll all be happy. Allan has already added the features necessary to make this possible. Why is this so hard? What can I do to help make this a reality? https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2013-April/024812.html https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2015-April/038794.html

[arch-general] Extremely slow battery status on MBP
by Emanuel Evans 14 Aug '15

14 Aug '15

Hi! I have kind of a weird issue that I'm having trouble debugging. On my MacBook Pro (11,1), checking battery status (through acpi or the /sys filesystem) becomes extremely slow after the computer's been on for a while. Here's an example: $ time cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status Charging real 0m54.519s user 0m0.000s sys 0m4.663s dmesg and journalctl aren't outputting anything during the call, and I tried strace during the command and there was no output during the blocked time. It's highly intermittent--acpi can take anywhere from 0-60 seconds with no discernible pattern. Any ideas for how to debug this further, or possible solutions? Thanks so much!

[arch-general] motherboard change - strategies for saving current install?
by David C. Rankin 13 Aug '15

13 Aug '15

All, I lost the disc controller in my arch server this past Sunday. I've ordered a replacement w/new processor, etc.. My question is what is the best strategy to save my current install? It's a simple: "can I boot the install media, assemble raid arrays, chroot old and update, or do I just dump the root partition and reinstall completely?" The hardware change will be from an AM2+ MSI board with Phenom 9850 to a Gigabyte AM3+ board with FX8350 if that matters. The primary goal is to preserve the raid arrays and server config for mail, web, etc... I know I can chroot, save the needed configs, reformat root and reinstall, but what I don't know is if there is an easier way that would avoid the reformat/reinstall of root? This will also be by first UEFI install, but I'm fairly certain the beginner's guide will get me through if a full reinstall is needed. However, does that have implications on being able to save the old partitions and my mdraid arrays? The current setup was a simple MBR, mdraid1 with grub2. I don't have a EFI system partition, but I believe I left space at the end of my arrays (I'll have to check if it is a full 512 MiB). I don't know if I can salvage that setup by adding the EFI system partition at the end? Reading from the beginner's guide: "The target drive requires a GPT partition table, and an EFI System Partition of at least 512 MiB in size, gdisk type EF00, and formatted with FAT32." That seems to indicate that any chance of salvaging my current install may be hopeless due to the current MBR partition table. If there is a link that covers this in the wiki, I apologize, I haven't found it yet. Thanks for any advise or helpful tips you can give. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] What is the archlinux-bootstrap-2015.08.01?
by David C. Rankin 13 Aug '15

13 Aug '15

All, In preparation for the motherboard change, I went to grab the latest netinstall-dual.iso and found the normal iso and then an 'archlinux-bootstrap' iso. Is the bootstrap iso the single architecture netinstall? I've checked the install, beginner's and download, but only found reference to the pxe boot which can't be that big? -- David C.

[arch-general] Problems with Gnome or Xorg (?)
by Lucas Prado Melo 12 Aug '15

12 Aug '15

Hello, I've been experiencing some visual glitches in Gnome or Xorg (I guess?). I can't really describe exactly what is happening but here are some examples of weird behaviors: 1) Sometimes, when I change tabs in my web browser (Google Chrome), a region from the previous web page gets stuck and I need to change tabs a number of times to return to normal behavior. 2) In Chrome, sometimes, when I exit full screen, several visual glitches happen and I must also change tabs. 3) In the game Klotski, when I repeatedly click on the pieces, small details change. Do you have any suggestions that might help me fix this?

[arch-general] PS/2 Hand Scanner Problems
by Sean Snell 11 Aug '15

11 Aug '15

Hey everybody! I'm dealing with what I believe is a kernel issue, but I'm still learning so please bear with me. I've used Arch for the better part of 2+ years, and it's taught me more about Linux and the way it works more than any other distro to date. That being said, I'm not a complete n00b, but please deal with me as I'll probably have moments that'll need clarification. The goal: To get a number of our aging HP t5730 terminals, used as POS terminals, relevant again using our existing hardware to extend their usability. So far tentative testing has shown this a feasible option so long as I can get all hardware working as expected. The problem: I have a PS/2 hand scanner that works perfectly as a HID in Windows, verified working on the untouched terminals still using the "old system", but under Arch it's acting as if it's detected but it doesn't give it's scanned data to any apps. The USB CC reader is working fine, as is the receipt printer. The symptoms: dmesg -t | grep '^i8042' ...returns the following output: i8042: PNP: PS/2 Controller [PNP0303:PS2K] at 0x60,0x64 irq 1 i8042: PNP: PS/2 appears to have AUX port disabled, if this is incorrect please boot with i8042.nopnp The hand scanner is "working" in the sense that I can push the button, the scanner lights up, and * beeps * when I scan a barcode. However, that's all it does. It does not pass that data onto to any simple applications such as mousepad, or even the terminal. What I've tried: 1. Yes, I've read this, but as the controller appears to be detected, this doesn't appear as relevant detail to me. Please correct me if I'm wrong. <https://www.archlinux.org/news/linux-313-warning-ps2-keyboard-support-is-no…> [1] 2. I found this post, and I attempted the user's Grub entries, but those didn't help. I've undone those changes and I'm currently back at "square one". I know how to work with Grub, so I know I didn't make simple mistakes here; when applied, these entries caused the grep command to inform me that PNP was disabled, still made no positive impact. <https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=176497>[2] Other Observations: I've tried a number of live- distros, and the surprising thing is that other, older distros (Such as DSL, kernel 2.x) work just fine without any tinkering at all. Further reading online suggests that this is because of the kernel version. It seems that one of the 3.x kernel updates seems to have dropped some PS/2 support. This also proves to me that this *should* be able to work, I just can't figure out the proper ways of troubleshooting this problem based on this observation. I'm at work all day dealing with this project, so I'll be online most of the day. Thank you so much ahead of time for any help that you can give me! :)

[arch-general] Moving libasl to an official repo
by Zeev Pekar 10 Aug '15

10 Aug '15

Hi All, ca. 2 months ago Andrejs has kindly agreed to package ASL for Arch (thank you!): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libasl/ Besides that his numerous tests and suggestions have improved the library significantly. Today Evgeniy (an Arch Trusted User) agreed to move libasl to an official repo as soon as it has more than 10 votes. So I'm turning on the Arch community asking those who are interested in having libasl in an official repo to vote for the package on the above mentioned link. Thank you! Zeev PS: we also need 12 more "Likes" on our Facebook page in order to get proper URL and not that ugly one: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Avtech-Scientific/828973737156105

[arch-general] Additional mouse (Lenovo N700) gesture binding
by Oon-Ee Ng 06 Aug '15

06 Aug '15

I just got the above bluetooth and/or wireless (dual-mode) mouse for my work, as the presenter laser looked pretty useful. 3 basic buttons (1, 2, 3) worked out of the box. So did the touch-scrolling (up/down). So I'm looking for advise for the remaining 3 inputs supported. This mouse has a 'Windows key' button and supports left/right swipe gestures (targeted at the new Windows side-screen gestures). Firstly, regarding the gestures, here's what I obtain from xinput test. I've also listed which keys these correspond to. Left swipe:- key press 22 Backspace key press 133 Super_L (left Windows key) key press 37 Control_L key release 22 Backspace key release 133 Super_L (left Windows key) key release 37 Control_L Right swipe:- key press 54 c key press 133 Super_L (left Windows key) key release 54 c key release 133 Super_L (left Windows key) This seems to correspond to pressing 3/2 key combos and releasing them in the same order. This seems to cause problems with xbindkeys and sxhkd (the only two key-binding daemons I've used before) as using the Super-c combo expects the Windows key to be pressed first, followed by the c key being pressed and released. How can I bind gestures to the above? Is it possible, for example, to bind keys to a specific input device (so for example I can bind to the letter c but only from the mouse, not from my keyboard)? Or something involving xmodmap? Thanks for your advise/help.

[arch-general] systemd-networkd, bridging, and STP
by Zach La Celle 03 Aug '15

I'm trying to set up a server network configuration in Arch using systemd-networkd tools. The networkd configuration files that I have are not doing what I think they should be doing. My setup is this: 4 physical ports -> bond0 -> vlans 2-8 -> a few on bridges, a few on their own. First I'll post the two errors I'm seeing, then I'll post my configs below to help make sense of it. First error: systemd-networkd[315]: [/etc/systemd/network/10-create-bond0.netdev:7] Failed to parse bond transmit hash policy, ignoring: "802.3ad" Second error, is that I can't get br-devel bridge to use STP: # brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br-devel 8000.4e565e92019a no bond0.3 bond0.6 I have a [Bridge] section in the .network file that sets the bridge address/network settings, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. __Config Files__ Right now, I have a bond set up: _10-create-bond0.netdev_ [NetDev] Name=bond0 Kind=bond [Bond] Mode=802.3ad TransmitHashPolicy=802.3ad LACPTransmitRate=fast MIIMonitorSec=0.1 UpDelaySec=0.2 DownDelaySec=0.8 I also have a bridge set up: _20-create-brdevel.netdev_ [NetDev] Name=br-devel Kind=bridge I then create some VLANs: _20-create-vlan3.netdev_ [NetDev] Name=bond0.3 Kind=vlan [VLAN] Id=3 _20-create-vlan6.netdev_ [NetDev] Name=bond0.6 Kind=vlan [VLAN] Id=6 Next, I set up the VLAN networks: _30-setup-vlans.network_ [Match] Name=bond0 [Network] VLAN=bond0.3 VLAN=bond0.6 Next, I add the interfaces to the bridge: _40-add-bond0.3-brdevel.network_ [Match] Name=bond0.3 [Network] Bridge=br-devel _40-add-bond0.6-brdevel.network_ [Match] Name=bond0.6 [Network] Bridge=br-devel Finally, I set up the br-devel bridge: _50-brdevel.network_ [Match] Name=br-devel [Network] Description="Development Bridge" [Address] Address=172.18.1.50/16 Broadcast=172.18.255.255 [Bridge] UnicastFlood=on HairPin=true UseBPDU=yes FastLeave=off AllowPortToBeRoot=on

[arch-general] Anyone using virtualbox-5.0.0 yet?
by walt 02 Aug '15

02 Aug '15

Arch updated vbox to 5.0.0 on 22 July, so I'm wondering if anyone is actively using it, and if you've had any problems with it. I certainly had a catastrophic problem when I tried it on my everyday gentoo desktop machine recently. If you Archers have been using it without any problems then I have a whole lot of research to do...

[arch-general] [extra] festival packge (Orphan)
by Tobias Markus 28 Jul '15

28 Jul '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I hope this is the right place to post. The festival package (in [extra]) has been an orphan and out-of-date for a while, 2.1 is packaged, 2.4 is available. I fixed some of the errors coming up when trying to build festival 2.4 in the festival-patched-hts package (AUR) [1], and it works quite well now. The PKGBUILD can be modified for the non-HTS-patched version quite easily, only removing the relevant patches, and I kept modifications to a necessary minimum (to make it obvious I don't have any bad intentions...). Because of this, I wonder if some package maintainer could pick the actual festival package up and apply my changes to make it work with 2.4. I encountered a build error that is very likely an upstream bug [2], but I don't have time to report it right now. A workaround until the issue is resolved upstream is included. Aside from that, I changed the MD5 hashes to SHA-256 hashes and removed some parts of the some of the compatibility patches that were made obselete by upstream changes. Please do not hestitate to ask me further questions regarding the changes involved. Thank you very much in advance, Best regards Tobias [1] https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/festival-patched-hts/ [2] festival/src/modules/clustergen/HTS_vocoder_me.cc includes a C file (not a header!), namely festival/src/modules/hts_engine/HTS_vocoder.c, causing linkage errors (multiple definitions of symbol).

Anyone have any idea why 4.1.3 is being held back in testing, nearly a week now? Seems unusual for a .3 or newer, although I realize it might not be for a x.x.1 or .2. Anyone using the testing repo having major issues? No bugs shown against it, and nothing obvious in testing or kernel/hardware forums. Upstream, not sure about.

[arch-general] Signing kernel modules
by Damjan Georgievski 25 Jul '15

25 Jul '15

Since some time ago, the Linux kernel has had support for cryptographically signed modules, i.e. the kernel can be configured to only load properly signed modules. https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/module-signing.txt I wouldn't go to lengths explaining the benefits of it, I was just wondering if Arch has the infrastructure to sign the modules - since developers already sign the kernel package itself [*], and in that sense we (the users) already trust them to that level. I'm not suggesting that CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE is enabled by default - that would break 3rd party modules, but people could optionally use the "enforcemodulesig=1" kernel command line option if they want to. Thoughts? [*] though packages are gpg signed, and modules use x.509 -- damjan

[arch-general] I am looking for the squid package maintainer.
by Eliezer Croitoru 23 Jul '15

23 Jul '15

Hey, I am looking for the squid package maintainer. I have been using the last built of squid 3.5.6 and it is missing rock cache_dir. It is considered to be stable enough for public use and testing. The addition of rock cache_dir doesn't affect any current installations or configuration. How can I get a hold of the package maintainer? Eliezer

[arch-general] [Q] Package all sources in openjdk8-src as Fedora does
by Konstantin Gribov 23 Jul '15

23 Jul '15

As I saw in fedora openjdk rpm, they bundle non-public java sources (like packages in sun, jdk etc). It's quite useful for debugging when low-level jdk parts involved, so I propose this patch (based on java8-openjdk 8.u51-1). File all-sources.patch contains patch for ${srcdir}/jdk-${_repo_ver}/make/CreateJars.gmk to include all sources instead of whitelisted ones. PKGBUILD.patch adds all-sources.patch to sources, its checksum and apply it in prepare phase. -- Best regards, Konstantin Gribov

[arch-general] A small and special Arch Linux distro
by feel.squally 22 Jul '15

22 Jul '15

Hi folks, Few months ago I started an Arch Linux related open source project and, now that is in a stable version and it has got an interesting popularity, I wanted to announce it in the Arch Linux community. The project website is: http://fsquillace.github.io/junest-site/index.html The github page is: https://github.com/fsquillace/junest The JuNest project consists on a tiny distro Arch Linux based that can run upon any already existing GNU/Linux distros as a sandbox. In the sandbox you can install packages and run programs without any root access. There are more functionalities that are documented in the website such as possibilities to run the image on different architectures and so on. The intent of JuNest is, of course, not to substitute Arch Linux but to have an Arch Linux environment everywhere is needed. Any feedback and contribution are really welcome :) Thank you, Filippo

[arch-general] Arch Linux trademark and docker images
by Christoph Seitz 21 Jul '15

21 Jul '15

Hi there, I just stumbled on the following [1] blog post, which says that shipping ubuntu docker images with modifications (e.g. web app, etc.) might be a violation of trademarks. I was wondering wether this also applies to arch linux, since the trademark policy [2] is derived from ubuntu somehow. Especially if you use aur packages inside the container, the trademark policy insists on a trademark license. I found some packages [3] that include aur packages. The FSF started a dialog with Canonical in order to allow such customization based on ubuntu. [4] Am I right with my assumption, that docker images with aur packages need a trademark license? Would it be a possibility to change the policy in oder to allow such works as docker images with aur packages? Regards, Christoph --- [1] http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/36312.html [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:TrademarkPolicy [3] https://registry.hub.docker.com/search?q=arch&searchfield= [4] https://www.fsf.org/news/canonical-updated-licensing-terms

[arch-general] Tuxguitar: documentation and SWT/GTK
by Alan E. Davis 21 Jul '15

21 Jul '15

I have stumbled. Archlinux does almost everything to perfection, so I am concerned I may have erred in the installation of tuxguitar. I am uisng a 64 bit, a relatively mature installation with many packages installed, including many from AUR. Tux guitar works well, so far; however, when trying to access Documentation through "Help>Documentation" Tuxguitar hangs. I've spent some hours researching this problem, and have gotten nowhere. Every google search I make leads one to mention of SWT, and apparently the most up to date 4.2 version, and some issue regarding gtk. The following messages are received: (TuxGuitar:10351): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type 'GtkWi dget' (TuxGuitar:10351): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot add class private field to in valid type '<invalid>' (TuxGuitar:10351): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot add private field to invalid (non-instantiatable) type '<invalid>' (TuxGuitar:10351): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_add_interface_static: assert ion 'G_TYPE_IS_INSTANTIATABLE (instance_type)' failed (TuxGuitar:10351): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type 'GtkBu ildable' (TuxGuitar:10351): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_interface_add_prerequisite: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_INTERFACE (interface_type)' failed (TuxGuitar:10351): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion 'result != 0' failed (TuxGuitar:10351): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_add_interface_static: assert ion 'G_TYPE_IS_INSTANTIATABLE (instance_type)' failed (TuxGuitar:10351): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_register_static: assertion ' parent_type > 0' failed (TuxGuitar:10351): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot add private field to invalid (non-instantiatable) type '<invalid>' Also interesting, in the "About" screen, is the following information: This product include third party libraries: -> SWT (Standard Widget Toolkit): http://www.eclipse.org/swt/ -> iText (Free Java-PDF library): http://www.lowagie.com/iText/ The documentation is pretty good, in general, on the Archlinux Wiki. I could not find much useful information regarding this problem with Tuxguitar with respect to Archlinux, even there. Can someone shed some light, or, better still, suggest a way to solve this problem. I suppose I can try to get a PDF of the docs, and use that.

[arch-general] Linux Kernel capabilities
by arnaud gaboury 17 Jul '15

17 Jul '15

I build my own kernel with ABS. To allow my nspawn container to load kernel modules, I must add this to nspawn unit file: --capability=CAP_SYS_MODULE. Unfortunately, it doesn't work and needed modules are not loaded from container but only from host. I realized there is no #define CAP_SYS_MODULE in /usr/lib/modules/4.1.2-2-ARCH/build/include/linux/capability.h. Is this specific to the arch kernel ?

[arch-general] improving the app stream data
by kendell clark 09 Jul '15

09 Jul '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 hi all I'm writing in to ask how I can help arch improve it's app stream data, which is largely what gnome software depends on to be able to install and find software. As it stands now there are a lot of packages missing data, so you often get "no application found" when using gnome software to search for them. A good example is orca, the screen reader. Another issue is using gnome software to find software for mime types the system doesn't know how to handle. Often you'll get sorry we couldn't find any software to handle this mime type, when software does exist. Does anyone know how the app stream system works and can you point me to docs and standards so I can read up on it? Once I've got that down, where can I pull down the source appstream data arch uses so I can start improving it? I've got the archlinux-appstream package installed, but I'm not sure if I can edit the data with a running package and it will be picked up automatically or if I need to edit the data and then generate a new package. Sorry for my ignorance I'm completely new at all of this stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[arch-general] systemd new dependencies impede using OpenRC
by jmcf125＠openmailbox.org 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

Hi there, Not sure whether I should email this mailing list about this problem, but here goes: I've been using OpenRC in Arch Linux for a long time, and uninstalled systemd, as I don't use anything that requires it. However, in the latest update it seems an awful lot of packages I use suddenly require systemd. First, I have a conflict between libgudev and eudev-systemdcompat, so the installation stops right there. I don't even remember a libgudev package when I used systemd! The pacman output, 1st refusing to remove eudev, then accepting, is as follows: $ sudo pacman -Syu :: A sincronizar a base de dados de pacotes... core está actualizado extra está actualizado community está actualizado multilib está actualizado openrc-eudev está actualizado siosm-selinux está actualizado :: A iniciar a actualização do sistema... atenção: libselinux: local (2.4-1) é mais recente que siosm-selinux (2.2-1) atenção: libsepol: local (2.4-1) é mais recente que siosm-selinux (2.2-1) atenção: setools: local (3.3.8-5) é mais recente que siosm-selinux (3.3.8-1) a resolver dependências... a procurar pacotes em conflito... :: libgudev e eudev-systemdcompat estão em conflito (libsystemd).

Why do all these packages need it when they were fine without it before? I wouldn't like to install systemd, but will if necessary. Nonetheless, I don't want it to replace OpenRC. What can I do? I want an updated system, but I'd very much prefer to have one without systemd. Thank you in advance, João Miguel

[arch-general] vps2arch - The fastest way to convert a VPS to Arch Linux!
by Timothy M. Redaelli 05 Jul '15

05 Jul '15

Hi, I wrote a simple script that allows you to convert (almost) any VPS to Arch Linux. The procedure is very simple, as you an see on a video posted by jx47 (http://jx47.de/posts/20150627_vps2arch.html) Just do: # wget git.io/vps2arch # chmod +x # ./vps2arch With the latest version of the script you can also specify mirrors with the -m option, network system (systemd-networkd, netctl) with -n option and the bootloader to be installed (grub, syslinux). OpenVZ is partially supported, because it doesn't work on systemd 220+ and it will enforce systemd 219. It also enforce netctl as networking system and no bootloader (of course). Please test and report! https://github.com/drizzt/vps2arch -- Timothy M. Redaelli Arch Linux Trusted User

[arch-general] XMMS2 error in latest version with equalizer build
by Storm Dragon 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

Hi, when I upgraded XMMS2 today the preamp stopped working. I use it for a soft volume affect. So I went into the #xmms2 channel on freenode, and after a bit it was discovered that one of the plugins didn't build right. Here's the bit of the conversation: < vdust> 14:35:28 ERROR: ../src/xmms/plugin.c:375: Failed to open plugin /usr/lib/xmms2/libxmms_equalizer.so: /usr/lib/xmms2/libxmms_equalizer.so: undefined symbol: iir < vdust> seems like there is an issue with the plugin build. < vdust> It should be reported to arch linux Is this the correct place to report this, or should it do it somewhere else?

Storm Dragon, Looks like you are just missing whichever component of the plugin that contains iir. I'd try and re download then rebuild the plugin. If they offer a hash of it you may want to check it against whatever archive you downloaded before reinstalling. If none of that works then I recommend looking for missing dependencies, because that, in my experience with linux, is the most common solution to the issue that you seem to be having here. Also I grabbed your key so if you need anything else, email me encrypted like. Best of luck, Luna This is a reply to: Hi, when I upgraded XMMS2 today the preamp stopped working.

[arch-general] Question on removing pacman keys (and adding new ones)
by Sebastian Pipping 25 Jun '15

25 Jun '15

Hi there! In relation to making virtual machine images of Arch I noticed that sharing images with pacman keys inside would enable two systems to present spoofed packages to the other unnoticed. True? It seems like a good idea to remove and re-add pacman keys specific to each system again, later. I wonder how to best remove the system-specific keys (not secure deletion, just not breaking the system) and how (more than when) to re-add new ones to the existing system to get it back to fully functional. Any ideas? Many thanks in advance, best, Sebastian

[arch-general] Generating Arch OpenStack images
by Sebastian Pipping 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Hi! TL;DR: Bullet-style summary at the end. I registered for a closed beta account at CloudScale [1] a few weeks ago and noticed that they offer a number of Linux flavors: Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, .. but no Arch Linux. They use OpenStack with the official OpenStack images [2] of Debian, Ubuntu and so on. It seems there are no official OpenStack images for Arch. There are the ec2 images of Uplinklabs [3] but that's all I find on the net. I have been working on a tool called image-bootstrap [4] for a while, originally aimed at creating virtual machine images for Debian and Ubuntu. Recently, I have added Arch Linux support to image-bootstrap (and created an Arch equivalent of Debian's debootstrap [5] called "directory-bootstrap" in the process, same code base). Since today, when passing the --openstack option to image-boostrap, it does create bootable Arch OpenStack images. But there is something missing. When giving birth to a new virtual machine, an OpenStack image file [6] of say 1 GiB size is copied onto a say 50 GiB "disk", some kind of block device passed to a hypervisor. The original image was generated believing that the given hard disk was say 2 GiB in size, some fixed size, not the size that OpenStack is actually launching virtual machines with. To give access to the full disk space to users, OpenStack images are prepared to do the following: 1. During early boot (initramfs time), the one and only partition is enlarged to the full size of the disk. 2. during normal boot, cloud-init is running resize2fs to enlarge the ext4 root file system to the new size of that partition. It's a little crazy, but it works: the user hardly notices. In Debian, apart from cloud-init that magic is done by packages cloud-utils and cloud-initramfs-growroot of cloud-initramfs-tools [7]. While Arch does have cloud-init, I find cloud-utils in AUR only and no cloud-initramfs-growroot at all. I am looking for Arch developers to bring these to the Arch master repository. There is yet something else: Trust. Anyone can make images and upload them but who is going to trust the image if it is not signed by a person that they trust? There is a group of five people in the Arch master signing keys [8]. One of them created, signed and uploaded the archlinux-bootstrap-*.tar.gz files that users rely on. My hope is that one of these five is willing to use image-bootstrap [4] to create, sign and upload OpenStack images as well. Let me summarize: * Arch OpenStack images are in reach * cloud-utils and cloud-initramfs-growroot need packaging for the Arch master repository. Can you take over? * image-bootstrap (and directory-bootstrap) [4] can be of help with bootstrapping Arch Linux today. * I am looking for master signing key members interested in using image-bootstrap for OpenStack image generation. Please get in touch. * I welcome your thoughts and bug reports (no pull requests before discussion at the moment, please) Thanks for your attention.

[arch-general] pacman mirrorlist update
by Francis Gerund 19 Jun '15

19 Jun '15

Hello. Just installed update pacman-mirrorlist -20150618-1, installed by pacman as /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew, and there is nothing exotic about my /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. I just normally update my mirrorlist by doing: sudo reflector --verbose --country 'United States' -l 200 -p http --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist as suggested by the Arch wiki pacman article. Should I again just: sudo reflector --verbose --country 'United States' -l 200 -p http --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and then just delete /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew?

[arch-general] Mutt's Missing Manual

Hi, all. Mutt's the bee's knees, but a recent install has revealed that the HTML manuals in /usr/share/doc/mutt have been replaced with an empty text file, /usr/share/doc/mutt/manual.txt. Can anyone confirm this? I performed a fresh install, just to make sure I wasn't off my rocker. Might mutt's manuals not mean much to most men?

[arch-general] FS mount for google drive
by Javier Vasquez 16 Jun '15

16 Jun '15

Hi, I was looking for a way to mount google drive as a FS, and found [1] and [2]. >From [2], the fuse application recommended was google-drive-ocamlfuse [5]. It's available from Aur. However the amount of ocaml dependencies to get it installed was huge, and many from Aur itself. Therefore I dropped it as an option for me. >From [1], there were 2 fuse applications that got my attention, fuse-google-drive [3] and gdrivefs [4]. Both available through Aur. I was wondering if someone is using any of them. I followed instructions for fuse-google-drive, and after authenticating I'm always getting: -------- ... Host: docs.google.com User-Agent: fuse-google-drive/0.1 Accept: */* Authorization: OAuth <...> < HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request < Content-Type: application/vnd.google.gdata.error+xml < Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2015 22:51:20 GMT < Expires: Sat, 13 Jun 2015 22:51:20 GMT < Cache-Control: private, max-age=0 < X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff < X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN < X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block < Server: GSE < Accept-Ranges: none < Vary: Accept-Encoding < Transfer-Encoding: chunked < * Connection #0 to host docs.google.com left intact -------- The target mount point gets actually used as if were mounted, but with nothing within. One needs to go and do "fusermount -u" to it... Well, although this should mount "read only", as the author indicates, it's the smallest mountfs application, and the one with less dependencies. Is anyone else using it successfully? It seems last commit was on 2012-09 unfortunately. Like there's no further work on it. Is that the case? Gdrivefs is a different story. It's working for me, and its last commit was on 2015-06 (just this month). I'm using the git version on Aur. The only problem with gdrivefs is the several dependencies on python2 stuff. Not as many as the ocaml solution, but definitely way more than fuse-google-drive. Any problems at all with gdrivefs? If someone is using whether fuse-google-drive or gdrivefs, please share any drawbacks, pitfalls, how to make it work in teh case of fuse-google-drive, and some other stuff you might want to share. I'm looking for light non gui dependent options, :-) Thanks, -- Javier [1] https://code.google.com/p/gdrive-linux/wiki/Tools [2] http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/37234/mount-google-drive-in-linux [3] https://github.com/jcline/fuse-google-drive [4] https://github.com/dsoprea/GDriveFS [5] https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse

[arch-general] Debugging third-party library's segfault if its caused by system update?
by Oon-Ee Ng 16 Jun '15

16 Jun '15

I use the openni2 library to access an Asus Xtion Pro Live camera, installed from the AUR and working fine up till 2+ weeks ago. After a 2 week holiday, the most recent system update caused segfaults to happen within the library (both before and after rebuilding it), without any change to the code calling the library. Same segfault happens with the simple sample applications included in the library (previously running fine). How do I track down the issue? The library's source code is available, but without knowing it well I'm unsure where to even begin. Normally I'd contact the authors, but as this issue was caused (on my system) by a system update I think I'd need to do some tracking down first.

[arch-general] Perl 5.22 in [testing]
by Florian Pritz 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

Hi, Perl 5.22, as any other new perl version, requires all modules that are not purely perl code to be rebuilt. We did that for all packages in our repos. For a list of upstream changes please refer to `man perldelta`. Since users probably installed some from AUR or with CPANPLUS::Dist::Arch, I wrote a script[1] that generates a local rebuild list. To use it you will also need this[2]. Note that: - some modules simply don't support being loaded directly (Irssi, SVN::_Core, Tk::Entry among others) so also run the test (`perl -M$module -e1`) manually before reporting. - site_perl overrides vendor_perl so if you fix an error for a module in site_perl you have to run the script again afterwards. [1] https://git.server-speed.net/users/flo/bin/plain/find-broken-perl-packages.… [2] https://git.server-speed.net/users/flo/bin/plain/module-to-dist.pl Binaries linking with libperl.so will also need to be rebuilt. You can use lddd from devtools to find those. Please report any issue you encounter.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 I've taken some time to make updated PKGBUILDS and related scripts for a few packages that are marked as "Maintainer: Orphaned" and haven't been updated in a while.

[arch-general] (no subject)
by Francis Gerund 10 Jun '15

Hello! I was investigating this boot up error message : "failed to start verify of integrity of password and group files" It turned out to be due (apparently) to a faulty (re)installation of mariadb, which I seem to have fixed. Fine. But in the process, I came across this in my system: [localuser@localhost ~]$ systemctl status shadow shadow.service - Verify integrity of password and group files Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/shadow.service; static; vendor preset: disabled) Active: inactive (dead) I am having some difficulty trying to find information on this. Bottom line: is this a problem, that I need to fix, or is it something that is normal and can just be ignored?

[arch-general] [mkinitcpio] about explicit module inclusion and purpose of udev hook
by Tom Yan 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

For my current system, I need the following modules (and their dependencies) to boot (mount the real root): ahci, sd_mod, btrfs (which are drivers for the sata controller, disk, and the root filesystem respectively.) If I specify these three in the MODULES array of mkinitcpio.conf, the only hook I need is the base hook. However, if I make use of the block hook and filesystem hook instead of the MODULES array to include the modules I need, I can't boot successfully without the udev hook: Unable to find root device 'UUID=c47a3e43-fed6-4f8a-8e52-71bae7a9f893' So, what is the purpose of the udev hook? What so special is the MODULES array? I even tried to include all modules which are included by the block hook and filesystem hook (with autodetect) explicitly with the MODULES array, to see whether the extra modules were adding factors to cause the failure, yet it still boots fine without the udev hook.

So if you see Bruce Schneier asking random questions like "How encryption works" or "Please help me to install GPG" it will be OK for you and you won't google his name to discover who is that person ? Now who cares who is Bruce Schneier (the rest 10%), let's just help him with the encryption because he seems to be casual computer user.

[arch-general] lxde setting problems

1. Pressing the printscreen button opens an openbox dialog that says it couldn't execute gnome-screenshot. I don't use gnome and I don't want printscreen to do anything. 2. I use lxde and I like my task bar at the top of the screen. There is always a pixel above the open tasks so I can't just move the mouse to the top and select a task. I have to click on the task name (which is difficult for me). I tried setting the margin to 0 in the panel settings and setting the spacing to 0 in the taskbar settings. 3. Windows open (and can be moved) so the part of the window that can be dragged can be under the taskbar (I have autohide set to off).

The keys Ctrl, Alt, Win*** and shift, have the same keycode, 50. Off course, it doesn't work correctly. and this way, It's imposible to me to configure it with xmodmap. I don't know what data I can share. I hope this to be sufficient: attached a lsusb -v output Thx, bye! :P

[arch-general] Qemu on Livirt: extra/ovmf being useless
by Martti Kühne 03 Jun '15

03 Jun '15

Godday I was trying to make EFI booting work on qemu using the GUI that comes with libvirt. I went ahead installing extra/ovmf. I struggled a bit, since the injection of EFI firmware into qemu is not accessible through libvirt and found /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf to be the place to set it up. However any setup guide to the nvram array gets to have 2 arguments split by a colon, where I just could not figure out what to put in the second spot. I went ahead trying ovmf-svn from AUR, which "works", in that it ships two files, one before (ovmf_code_${short_arch}.bin) and another for after the colon (ovmf_vars_${short_arch}.bin). I just haven't got that one to boot from hard drive yet either. That part though, I'm confident to figure out eventually. My question focuses around the extra/ovmf bit, which in the case of libvirt doesn't appear to ship all the necessary pieces. Does the packager have a working recipe to set up extra/ovmf available under libvirt? Is it possible to store one's UEFI vars per box? cheers! mar77i

Hello, We've found a inconsistency with the traceroute installation and it's manpage. The manpage says 'traceroute6 is an equivalent to traceroute -6', but in arch linux this does not work. It this by design? Thank you. Paul Schaefer

Hi, for some time past I get error: unknown encoding UTF8: using iso88591 as fallback when running GTK2 and GTK3 apps, Pluma, Claws Mail, Evolution. Other apps, perhaps Qt apps, might be affected too. There are no issues when using those apps, the terminal just shows these messages.

[arch-general] Fwd: Connection through USB to TTL Serial Cable
by Csányi Pál 31 May '15

I also used sofar the GNU Screen to connect to remote host through serial connection: screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 Sofar it works, but today I get the message: [screen is terminating] htop shows these lines for screen: 19038 csp 20 0 17244 2496 2300 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 19039 root 20 0 17244 2348 2044 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 SCREEN /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 So I must first kill these two processes of screen, and after that I can run screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 command, however, the GNU Screen is empty, so it is useless.

[arch-general] Subpixel antialiasing
by Vladimir Nikšić 28 May '15

28 May '15

Hi guys! I've done a pacman -Syu this morning. The upgrade went fine, all the key components are working properly, except a slight issue I'm having with chromium. Chromium no longer obeys the subpixel antialiasing, but instead has a basic AA mode, without the subpixel hinting. This of course results in ugly letters across the board. What's even more weird, other applications seem to have it normally, like firefox, xfce4-terminal, etc... I'm using xfce4. The settings > appearance had subpixel disabled, but once enabled chromium still didn't obey the subpixel hinting. I don't understand what has changed exactly with chromium, and how do I set it to have subpixel once again. I went through here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_configuration#Subpixel_rendering but I can't really find anything pertinent to my case. Any ideas anyone? :)

[arch-general] RAID-0 kernel bug
by Francis Gerund 27 May '15

27 May '15

Hello. RE: "Data corruption on software RAID 0 when discard is used 2015-05-22 Recent Linux kernels (4.0.2+, LTS 3.14.41+), pushed to the [core] repository in the past couple of weeks, were affected by a bug that can cause data corruption on file systems mounted with the discard option and residing on software RAID 0 arrays. The issue has been addressed in the linux 4.0.4-2 and linux-lts 3.14.43-2 updates. Due to the nature of the bug, however, it is likely that data corruption has already occurred on systems running the aforementioned kernels. It is strongly advised to verify the integrity of affected file systems using fsck and/or restore their data from known good backups. For further information please read the LKML post by Holger Kiehl, the related article on Phoronix, as well as the proposed fix that was backported to the Arch kernels." Am I correct to assume that this would ONLY affect systems that include a RAID-0 filesystem, and that it would not affect other ext4 systems using SSDs with "discard" in /etc/fstab?

[arch-general] Limiting pacman's IO rate
by Yannis Juglaret 22 May '15

22 May '15

Dear archers, I am running Arch Linux inside virtualbox, on a Ubuntu 12.04 host on which I have very limited power (the only command I can run as root is "apt-get install"). For this reason my virtualbox version is very outdated (4.1.12, the last version being 4.3.28!). My main problem is than when I ask to run "pacman -S ghc", the installation begins and then the machine suddenly halts at approximately 25% (best case 50%), with the following error log message: 00:02:06.072 !!Assertion Failed!! 00:02:06.072 Expression: pSgBuf->cbSegLeft <= 5 * _1M && (uintptr_t)pSgBuf->pvSegCur >= (uintptr_t)pSgBuf->paSegs[pSgBuf->idxSeg].pvSeg && (uintptr_t)pSgBuf->pvSegCur + pSgBuf->cbSegLeft <= (uintptr_t)pSgBuf->paSegs[pSgBuf->idxSeg].pvSeg + pSgBuf->paSegs[pSgBuf->idxSeg].cbSeg 00:02:06.072 Location : /build/buildd/virtualbox-4.1.12-dfsg/src/VBox/Runtime/common/misc/sg.cpp(54) void* sgBufGet(PRTSGBUF, size_t*) 00:02:06.072 pSgBuf->idxSeg=0 pSgBuf->cSegs=1 pSgBuf->pvSegCur=00007fbd109e0000 pSgBuf->cbSegLeft=10321920 pSgBuf->paSegs[0].pvSeg=00007fbd109e0000 pSgBuf->paSegs[0].cbSeg=10321920 Following this ticket <https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/10434> and ghc being a huge package, I am assuming that the problem is the same: this virtualbox bug is triggered because pacman performs too heavy IO when installing ghc (speculative, but looks reasonable). So, I tried to limit pacman's IO rate in the following way (after having installed libcgroup from the AUR and cgmanager): # cgcreate -g blkio:wlimit # echo "8:0 1024" >/sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/wlimit/blkio.throttle.write_bps_device # cgexec -g blkio:wlimit pacman -S --force ghc (8:0 is /dev/sda, which is the only disk, and 1024 the byte rate I want to enforce) However the machine still halts in the same way and doesn't seem to go beyond 50% either. Even if I replace 1024 by, say, 1, pacman doesn't seem to struggle more to write to the disk -- when I would expect it to take forever to do 1% of the installation. Is there something wrong in the commands I have written above? Is there a way to check that the limitation is indeed enforced? (maybe the source of the bug is elsewhere) Alternatively, can you think of another solution to this problem? Many thanks -- Yannis

[arch-general] [Classroom] An Imperfect Introduction to Static Typing - 14th May
by fsckd 21 May '15

21 May '15

Hello, HalosGhost will teach a class, "An Imperfect Introduction to Static Typing", on Thursday, 14 May 2015 at 21:30 UTC. It will tentatively be held in #archlinux-classroom. The class is expected to take about 1.5 hours. Static typing is where the type of data a variable will hold is defined when the program is written, and that definition is enforced during the program's run. In this class learn the basics to start reasoning about functions written in statically typed languages and understand the differences between static typing and dynamic typing. The class is for beginners to static typing. There are no prerequisites. HalosGhost, resident panda of the Arch Linux community, is well liked for eir* ability to dodge lazors. Ey enjoys programming and is familiar with many languages, like C, Java, Python, and Rust. Ey also knows a little Haskell. fsckd * Mercurian pronouns "ey" and "eir", https://theos.kyriasis.com/~kyrias/journal/10-mercurian-pronouns.html

[arch-general] pam upgrade and systemd
by Troy Engel 19 May '15

19 May '15

Heya all - so I ran a standard upgrade these evening, which upgraded pam; I was headed for a reboot (since the new 4.0.3 kernel was also updated) and checked my logs just because; my fcron daemon was failing before the reboot. Huh. pacman log: [2015-05-18 18:28] [ALPM] upgraded pam (1.1.8-5 -> 1.2.0-1)[2015-05-18 18:28] [ALPM] upgraded pam (1.1.8-5 -> 1.2.0-1) journal: May 18 18:28:22 grimm fcron[13534]: PAM unable to dlopen(/usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so): /usr/lib/libpam.so.0: version `LIBPAM_MODUTIL_1.1.9' not found (required by /usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so) (... followed by lots of broken pipe errors) So I had rebooted already, which means I could not test further in the same error state -- but basically, should the pam upgrade have triggered a reload of systemd? Based on lsof, that's who has this file held open: $ lsof | grep libpam systemd 1512 tengel mem REG 254,2 60008 141189 /usr/lib/libpam.so.0.84.1 My thought is if this was truly broken, then I would not have been able to log in if I had not rebooted (pure coincidence I did) since pam_unix.so was dying; fcron as a daemon doesn't have it open, so I can only assume it was attempting to do a login (it's cron after all) to run crontabs, which is systemd running the show. Anyone have a system they haven't upgraded in ~24hrs to give it a further test, see if logins are broken after the pam upgrade? -te

[arch-general] Handling GeForce GTX 850M GPU on Arch Linux
by caocoa＠mail2tor.com 16 May '15

16 May '15

Hello all, I've juste installed a new computer and I feel like I'm having trouble with my NVIDIA GPU but it could be something else so I've enclosed detailed output. As you can see in [lspci] output, my GPU is `NVIDIA Corporation GM107M [GeForce GTX 850M] (rev a2)` whose specification can be found in [specs]. The trouble I'd like to solve has the following symptoms: → Sometimes during booting process, it issues a lot of lines like `nouveau E[ PFIFO][0000:01:00.0] SCHED_ERROR [ UNK06 ]` (see [dmesg] output for full details). This seems to appear randomly: somtimes it has to reboot two or three times before being able to boot correctly, sometimes it just needs once and doesn't have nay troubles. → Some other times, windows appears to stop responding with no reasons. I have to mouse the pointer off so the window display will unfreeze and then I can put the pointer over again. I've found it seems to be related to lines like this one `nouveau E[ PIBUS][0000:01:00.0] HUB0: 0x000001 0x00000002 (0xbad00100)` in [dmesg]. It starts at timestamp 28.115820. → Sometimes, even the window manager (Gnome) freezes and I have to go to a tty to have a chance to get it unfreeze. It doesn't always work then sometimes I have to reboot my computer because it has become absolutely frozen (no mouse, no keyboard, even the keyboard CAPS light responds no more). → Finally, in Arch Linux I've become used to have X server started over tty1 and tty from 2 to 7 free. Actually, when startup reaches the end without faults, it start X server on tty1 then GDM (Gnome Display Manager) is shown on tty1 but once I log in to my account, my desktop is shown on tty2 and tty1 keeps displaying GDM. I'm quite puzzled by this and I don't know whether the last symptom is a bug or a feature (maybe multiple user simultaneous outputs). I've also enclosed for your information my [Xorg.0.log] file and [lsmod] output. If it's a bug, which software should I fill a bug report to? nouveau driver, X, GDM, Gnome? Just feel free to ask any further data you'd need about my configuration. Thank you in advance for you reply and have a good weekend!

[arch-general] Read permission for group
by Ralf Mardorf 16 May '15

Hi, user 1001 (chuser) is in the group of user 1000 (rocketmouse). Folder and file have read permission for group 1000 (rocketmouse), but user 1001 (chuser) can't read the file. Do I miss the forest for the trees? [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ id chuser uid=1001(chuser) gid=1001(chuser) groups=1001(chuser),10(wheel),50(games),91(video),92(audio),93(optical),95(storage),100(users),1000(rocketmouse),108(vboxusers) Path and file permissions [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ ls -ld /home/ /home/rocketmouse/ /home/rocketmouse/.gtkrc-2.0_openbox+jwm drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Apr 23 10:14 /home/ drwxr----- 100 rocketmouse rocketmouse 4096 May 15 17:22 /home/rocketmouse/ -rw-r--r-- 1 rocketmouse rocketmouse 152 Oct 16 2014 /home/rocketmouse/.gtkrc-2.0_openbox+jwm Permission denied [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ sudo -u chuser ls -ld /home/rocketmouse/ /home/rocketmouse/.gtkrc-2.0_openbox+jwm ls: cannot access /home/rocketmouse/.gtkrc-2.0_openbox+jwm: Permission denied drwxr----- 100 rocketmouse rocketmouse 4096 May 15 17:22 /home/rocketmouse/ [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ sudo -u chuser cat /home/rocketmouse/.gtkrc-2.0 cat: /home/rocketmouse/.gtkrc-2.0: Permission denied This happens also when logged in as user 1001 (chuser) instead of using sudo -u, take a look at https://bbs.archlinux.de/viewtopic.php?id=27969, it's in German, but that doesn't matter regarding the English terminal output.

Hello, Trying to build qt5 with debug symbols, but failed. Using the qt5 from abs, per instructions in the wiki ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Debug_-_Getting_Traces) I added in the PKGBUILD options=(debug !strip) and added -developer-build -no-warnings-are-errors to the configure and build with and without qt5-webkit.

[arch-general] Panel with weather plugin and editable menu wanted
by Ralf Mardorf 14 May '15

14 May '15

Hi, I like the JWM's panel and I like fbpanel, but they are missing a weather applet. JFTR I tested lxpanel, but already before I checked if the menu is editable, I noticed that lxpanel wakes up external green drives without a good reason [1]. xfce4-panel is nice, doesn't wake up green drives, but suffers also from a menu that isn't editable, neither is the whisker replacement. I suspect mate-panel's menu also suffers from the freedesktop.org menu issue and can't be really customized. Does somebody know a panel with weather plugin and editable menu? A system tray weather app might be ok too. Typhoon and gis-weather seems to be not what I'm looking for, perhaps I'm just to stupid to configure them.

[arch-general] run boinc with optirun but no GPU found
by Stephen Zhang 14 May '15

14 May '15

Hi all, Today I installed boinc, and I'd like to run it with `optirun`. The first time I run `optirun bonic_client --dir /var/lib/boinc`, it showed me that `No usable GPUs found`. So, I installed `opencl-nvidia` package from the repo. After `opencl-nvidia` installed, I restart the boinc with optirun, it showed the same prompt. But after a suspend of my computer, it worked fine! the prompt became like this: ,------ 01-May-2015 11:36:53 [---] CUDA: NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GT 620M (driver version unknown, CUDA version 7.0, compute capability 2.1, 1024MB, 1009MB available, 240 GFLOPS peak) 01-May-2015 11:36:53 [---] OpenCL: NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GT 620M (driver version 349.16, device version OpenCL 1.1 CUDA, 1024MB, 1009MB available, 240 GFLOPS peak) `------ And a project began to use GPU to caculate as well. However, after I reboot my computer, the boinc can't find GPUs any more! The prompt is always `No usable GPUs found`. I also tried to write a simple CUDA program[1] to test if my CUDA device was ok, and the result was the CUDA program worked fine, it printed 'Hello CUDA!' as expected. My GPU model is NVIDIA GeForce GT 620M as mentioned above. My laptop model is Acer E1-471G 32352G50Mnks. I also have bbswitch installed, and `cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch` shows: ,------ 0000:01:00.0 ON `------ And here is the output of `lsmod |grep nvidia`: ,------ nvidia_uvm 73728 0 nvidia 8409088 1 nvidia_uvm drm 282624 6 i915,drm_kms_helper,nvidia i2c_core 53248 8 drm,i915,i2c_i801,drm_kms_helper,i2c_algo_bit,nvidia,v4l2_common,videodev `------ Anyone knows how I can run boinc with `optirun` correctly, or how I can run boinc with my GPU? Any reply will be appreciated! [1] https://cfp.vim-cn.com/cbSR/c -- Regards, Stephen

[arch-general] Linux kernel 4.0.2-1 flagged out-of date.
by Francis Gerund 14 May '15

14 May '15

Hi. Linux kernel 4.0.2-1 is flagged out-of date, just hours after release. But pacmatic keeps offering it as an update (along with other packages), with no warning message. I am using Linux kernel 4.0.1-1-ARCH (X-64). Should I go ahead and update, or wait for Linux kernel 4.0.3-1?

[arch-general] Why irrelevant updates?
by Francis Gerund 13 May '15

13 May '15

Sometimes pacman presents updates that just don't seem to apply to my system. Just one example: sudo pacman -Syyuv presents btrfs-progs, even though: 1) I do not, and have not, used the Btrfs file system with my Arch setup. 2) It is "Required by: None" 3) It is "Optional for: None" But I hate to reject it. After all, there must be some reason it was presented . . . right? So, if I just say "yes" to all upgrades, won't my system over time get weighed down by excess stuff, until it grinds to a halt? Or, if I just make my best guess at what is really need and reject the rest, won't I have a Frankenstein system that will eventually break? And why, why, why doesn't it just present upgrades appropriate for my system?

[arch-general] fresh install: netctl and interface renaming

Hi, I am trying to setup network with netctl on fresh arch install. Netctl fails to start static profile due to different interface name. It looks like netctl is trying to start (twice?) before kernel finishes network interface renaming. What can be wrong?
