[arch-general] mpv in [community] compiled against different version of ffmpeg than in [testing]
by Savya 06 Dec '14

06 Dec '14

I was running mpv from the terminal today, and I got an unexpected message: "Warning: mpv was compiled against a different version of ffmpeg than the shared library it is linked against. This can expose subtle ABI compatibility issues and can lead to misbehaviour and crashes." Installed versions of packages: [testing]/ffmpeg: 1:2.5-1 [community]/mpv: 0.7.1-1 I would request (if possible, of course), that mpv in community be compiled against the version of ffmpeg in [testing] and put in the [community-testing] repo whenever ffmpeg is in [testing]. Thanks! -- Cheers! Savya

[arch-general] ibus
by Ralf Mardorf 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

Hi, I'm surprised why ibus is installed on my machine. Is ibus needed for anything on my machine? The package claims that it was "Installed as a dependency for another package", but no package seems to need it. $ pacman -Qi ibus Name : ibus Version : 1.5.9-4 Required By : None Optional For : None Conflicts With : None Replaces : None Install Reason : Installed as a dependency for another package $ pactree -r ibus ibus I replaced two packages with dummy packages, non of the "original" packages does need ibus. $ pacman -Si pulseaudio gvfs | grep ibus Has got ibus any effect, when no other package requires it? Regards, Ralf

[arch-general] Built packages of GCC 5
by Kalrish Bäakjen 02 Dec '14

02 Dec '14

Hello, I am working on a nasty machine that is slow and sporadically freezes, which makes it unable to compile anything that takes a bit of effort. I would like to try GCC's development version, but it's not possible to build it locally. Do you know of any (unofficial) respository that offers i686 packages of GCC 5? By the way, would there be any problems with system libs if a development version was installed (in place of the stable one, which is 4.9.1)? Thanks, Kalrish

[arch-general] mce after linux-3.11.5-1 on NP900X3C
by Rasmus Liland 29 Nov '14

29 Nov '14

Dear @arch-general readers, I'm experiencing machine check exceptions since every kernel after package linux-3.11.5-1 (Oct 14 2013). I hope some nice people will be able to assist me or perhaps point me in a direction of something fruitful. First here goes some kernel panic output I was able to snap on May 25th (I also made it an attachment): > [19367.116180] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint > [19367.116196] mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 1: Machine Check Exception: 5 Bank 4: b200000000100402 > [19367.116202] mce: [Hardware Error]: RIP !INEXACT! 33:<00007f8b4934c8b7> > [19367.116205] mce: [Hardware Error]: TSC 2824672b8e7 > [19367.116211] mce: [Hardware Error]: PROCESSOR 0:306a9 TIME 14010118857 SOCKET 0 APIC 1 microcode 12 > [19367.116213] mce: [Hardware Error]: Run the above through 'mcelog --ascii' > [19367.116216] mce: [Hardware Error]: Some CPUs didn't answer in synchronization > [19367.116218] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check: Invalid > [19367.116220] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal machine check on current CPU > [19368.211815] Shutting down cpus with NMI > [19368.222834] Kernel Offset: 0x0 from 0xffffffff81000000 0000 (relocation range: 0xffffffff80000000-0xffffffff9fffffff) > [19368.222942] drm_kms_helper: panic occurred, switching back to text console > [19368.245774] Rebooting in 30 seconds > [19398.323579] ACPI RECOVERY or RESET_REG. Assuming I did a complete system update about 5.4 hours earlier, this implies kernel output for linux kernel version 3.14.4. This has been the case for every kernel after version 3.11.5; from what I can trace in the `/var/cache/pacman/pkg' directory this also calls for _at least_ version 3.15.8; I've removed all other archived versions as they used valuable space. In dmesg output, my good version 3.11.5-1 is called: > Linux version 3.11.5-1-ARCH (tobias@T-POWA-LX) (gcc version 4.8.1 20130725 (prerelease) (GCC)) #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 14 08:31:43 CEST 2013 The hardware of my system is perhaps relevant.

[arch-general] Persistent black screen of death issues with radeon graphics
by Robbie Smith 28 Nov '14

28 Nov '14

I am at a loss as to what the hell is going on with my laptop. It's a HP Pavillion with the dual AMD graphics (7520G + 7500M), and I will never again buy a laptop containing components from either manufacturer. More often than not when I boot, when the kernel tries to do modesetting the screen will just turn off. I can SSH in, so it's clearly booting up, but the only hint that anything unusual is happening in the logs is this error message: > [ 28.879834] radeon 0000:01:00.0: No connectors reported connected with modes > [ 28.879842] [drm] Cannot find any crtc or sizes - going 1024x768 > [ 28.881975] [drm] fb mappable at 0xE0474000 > [ 28.881978] [drm] vram apper at 0xE0000000 > [ 28.881980] [drm] size 3145728 > [ 28.881982] [drm] fb depth is 24 > [ 28.881985] [drm] pitch is 4096 > [ 28.882332] radeon 0000:01:00.0: fb1: radeondrmfb frame buffer device > [ 28.997034] [drm] Initialized radeon 2.40.0 20080528 for 0000:01:00.0 on minor 1 I feel like I've tried almost everything: - Upgrading and downgrading kernels (I'm currently using 3.17.1) - Various combinations of kernel boot parameters (fbcon=map:0, fbcon=map:1, radeon.modeset=1, radeon.modeset=0, etc) - Adding lines to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf that tell it which PCI device to map to. - Uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers I used to use catalyst because that was the only driver that worked, but as it doesn't support KMS, I couldn't use GNOME anymore, so switching back to that isn't an option. Searching for the problem doesn't seem to find anything relevant; there's a few forum posts by Ubuntu users but mostly tumbleweed. The bug tracker on freedesktop.org is awkward to navigate so I have no idea if what I'm experiencing has occurred to anyone else. Even just knowing where to go to report a bug or a more appropriate mailing list that could point me in the right direction would be helpful at this stage. The most frustrating bit is that this occurs almost at random. I could use the laptop all day at the library, no issues; turn it off (because suspend is broken on radeon), come home and no screen for what feels like a thousand reboots.

If the maintainer went "nanana I think it's up to date anyway", then maybe that would indicate it isn't following upstream, and we should all start panicking.

[arch-general] CMake silently disregards the C preprocessor flags environment variable

http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=12928 Did you know about this? And this is an error in design, it has been like this since the beginning of CMake. It seems like a pretty shameful error for a build system. Although patching for every package using Cmake is probably out of the question, I really feel like this is an issue something should be done about.

[arch-general] Package search problem on the website

Hi, I was looking for a specific package at https://www.archlinux.org/packages/ and I noticed something weird under the filter repository: there is no entry called 'any'. Thus, if we select one entry, we cannot undo it for a next search. I had to modify the parameters manually in the address bar. Who should I contact to correct this problem? And also, is there a specific reason why there is no category filter like on AUR? Cheers, Raphaël

[arch-general] genfstab, fstab, seclabel, UUID vs. PARTUUID, and Arch Wiki
by vixsomnis 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

tl;dr - genfstab causes problems on my system, PARTUUIDs may lead to non-booting systems when used instead of UUIDs I had a problem installing Arch Linux on my box earlier this week, although I managed to resolve it. I was installing from the latest fedora live usb image, since my motherboard refuses to boot into efi mode with the Arch ISOs. Weird issues with genfstab: - When I run with the -U option, no UUIDs are placed in fstab. With the -L option, no labels. Am I correct in thinking that the "/dev/sdX" should be replaced with UUIDs and labels, respectively? - My first and second attempts both ended up with an fstab option called "seclabel" that I couldn't find any documentation for. The boot process stalled, saying it didn't understand "seclabel" or "seclabel" was missing an option, and kicked me to recovery. After removing "seclabel" that problem no longer occurred. Hopefully it's not too important... - I had duplicate entries, even running it only once on a clean installation. I started from scratch twice, and duplicated this problem. I cleaned the file up manually, but it was still odd. Possibly related to the fedora live usb. However, no drives were mounted twice and the blkid / lsblk output didn't show any problems. Also, on following the Arch Wiki's advice in the beginner's guide: I used PARTUUIDs in my fstab and gummiboot entries. My system wasn't able to boot with these, which I had gotten from "blkid". When I switched them out for regular UUIDs, I had no problems, and my system booted flawlessly. If someone could confirm that we should be using UUIDs, I'll change this on the wiki. If PARTUUIDs *should* work, can someone please explain why? Or maybe just vouch that they work on your system? I've never had success with them. I'll edit the wiki once this is verified, or otherwise resolved. Lastly, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Christian Demsar. I'm currently studying CS at Georgia Tech. I dabbled in linux a bit back in high school (only ubuntu and mint -- so not very deeply), but gave up until about last summer, and I've been mostly successful in learning the basics. -- vixsomnis

Hello, can someone reproduce the following on an Intel GPU with Firefox 33 and Flash? If I open a website with "Flash media", then the plugin loads (the context menu is the one that gets created by Adobe Flash) but I can't see anything. The area, where the "animation" should be is just white. I've downgraded to the latest Firefox 32 and my Flash content immediately worked again. Am I the only one with this problem or can someone reproduce this? Thanks in advance. Greetings, Manuel

To Joel: Only issue I've noticed so far is that multilib is apparently not enabled and therefore virtualbox, chromium and syslinux fail because they can't find lib32 dependencies. What kind of hardware backs this and how long does a full rebuild of all packages take? Apart from that, awesome idea and nice interface (maybe missing a maintainer filter, but you don't really have that data I guess).

Though I think I have the right services started and enabled... BTW, the web interface was working prior to the update. Any hints? Thanks, -- Javier.

[arch-general] python mysql bindings.
by Eduardo Machado 05 Nov '14

05 Nov '14

Hi, i was building a python package that depends on an mysql binding for python, and i was looking about "mysql-python" [1], but when looking upstream [2] the page has a link to a new website [3]. At this new website, the author states that the package is a legacy version (the source used in the Arch[1]), and the new one was renamed to "moist" and has a new source [4]. So, i ask if this is a case of outdated package or it can be considered updated, although it's a legacy version? And i would like to know if some TU has interest to provide the new one, if not, i will gladly create an AUR package. Best regards, mawcomw

[arch-general] several missing /run/xxx after systemd update in testing
by Genes Lists 03 Nov '14

03 Nov '14

I posted about stunnel failing after systemd update - then I found that php-fpm has same problem - issue of course only shows up after a boot when /run is re-created. Now I have found that mariadb won't start either - same reason - missing /run/mysqld directory (so cannot create socket) My work around is to copy the service files to /etc/systemd/system and edit them to add ExecStartPre lines to create /run/xxx and adjust ownership. Anyway - be warned if you have things failing to start this just might be your problem too!! gene/

[arch-general] Where's my locale gone?
by Paul Gideon Dann 03 Nov '14

03 Nov '14

I'm stumped: I've had LANG=en_GB.UTF8 in /etc/locale.conf ever since the switch to systemd, but in the last few days since my previous reboot, something's changed (maybe systemd 216?) and now I find that, even though /etc/locale.conf still contains en_GB, I get: # echo $LANG en_US.UTF8 This is almost certainly related to why I'm getting messed up character encoding in Konsole. In particular, tmux fails to render dividing lines properly, showing accented 'a' characters instead, and similar things happen in Vim. Is there some additional configuration I need beyond /etc/locale.conf now? I've checked locale.gen and rerun locale-gen without any effect. I've also tried rerunning mkinitpio for good measure. Any ideas? Paul

[arch-general] stunnel 5.06-1 vs systemd
by Genes Lists 02 Nov '14

02 Nov '14

I noticed this today after the systemd update and after I rebooted - stunnel package fails to create /run/stunnel and so stunnel.service won't start as it cannot chroot to /var/run/stunnel. stunnel was updated for me on 10/21 from 5.03 to 5.06. Machine has been rebooted since then - so it -seems- like a change happened in systemd which triggered this, but I'm not sure. Work around is to add these 2 lines to /etc/systemd/system/stunnel.conf before the ExecStart line: ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/mkdir /run/stunnel ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/chown -R stunnel:stunnel /run/stunnel Probably just a minor package bug. gene

[arch-general] System Bootup and Shutdown Sounds

Hello Everyone, The canberra-system-bootup.service, canberra-system-shutdown.service and the canberra-system-shutdown-reboot.service from the libcanberra package [0.30-4] refer to several .oga files (like system-bootup.oga) which probably should have been present in the sound-theme-freedesktop package, but aren't there. Where can I find these files, or is this some kind of a bug. Regards, Ronnie.P.Thomas

[arch-general] NV GeForce 7600, nvidia-304xx-lts, but Failed to load module "nvidia"

Hi, I'm trying to replace nouveau driver with nvidia-304xx-lts for my NVIDIA Corporation G73 [GeForce 7600 GT] videocard. I'm following advices at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nvidia.

[arch-general] Problems with new version of gsfonts
by Ondřej Kučera 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

Hi, I've noticed that the current gsfonts package is "built" from different sources (and I'm also aware of https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/42391) However, I've got two issues with it. First of all, the fonts have now different names. For example, "Nimbus Sans L" is now just "Nimbus Sans". That means that all applications that were set to use the font now need to be re-configured. That's of course something I'll have to do but maybe a warning (ideally on the front page/RSS or at least in a post install message) would be good. The second problem is worse. It seems that this version of the fonts doesn't contain all characters it used to. For example Czech diacritical characters seem to be missing (again, at least within Nimbus Sans). Does anyone know what the reason is? It's obviously not a packaging problem, the sources must lack them. For me it is a regression which makes the fonts unusable. :-( So my question basically is whether this is fixable or whether I should look for a different default font (I've been using Nimbus Sans L as a default font for everything for many, many years). Thank you. Ondra -- Regards, Ondřej Kučera

[arch-general] Is sloppy/mouse focus broken in Gnome 3.14?
by Magnus Therning 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

Has anyone else found that sloppy focus and focus-follows-mouse are behaving strangely since the upgrade to Gnome3.14? This is the behaviour I observe: 1. Have two gnome-terminals on desktop A, each one covering one half of the screen 2. Have one maximised gnome-terminal on desktop B 3. On desktop A, move mouse (and focus) to first window. 4. Confirm that Ctrl-Tab switches focus to second window. 5. Move to desktop B 6. Move back to desktop A 7. Confirm that first window has focus, because that's where the mouse pointer is At this point Ctrl-Tab can't be used to switch to the second window! Forcing the focus, either by clicking in the first windows, or by moving the mouse to the second window, will result in Ctrl-Tab working as expected again. Is anyone else seeing this behaviour? Is it a known bug? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Perl is another example of filling a tiny, short-term need, and then being a real problem in the longer term. -- Alan Kay

[arch-general] Kernel code dump retrieval

Hello list, I'm experiencing an issue while compiling big projects (i.e. linux kernel but not limited to that). The issue seems to be related to CPUFREQ and I'm trying to track it down. While compiling the linux-ck kernel the kernel panics and produce a core dumps. I'm trying to get the core dump but I'm not able to access it after hard reset. I tried enabling journalctl Storage=Auto to write to disk without luck. My FS is btrfs and the CPU is AMD FX-8120. The CPU is not overclocked [1] and the Cool And Quiet is enabled alond with other power saving options in BIOS (like C6 State). How can I access the kernel core dump after crash?

[arch-general] Plasma 5 - how to start afresh
by SET 19 Oct '14

19 Oct '14

Hello, I would like to restart the DE as if for the first time, and I don't know where the Plasma 5 user files are stored. There's no $HOME/.kde5 nor $HOME/.kf{,5}. Upon first start, the initial step was to localize the env to fr_FR. systemsettings crashed and/or hanged after choosing the relevant locale in all 4 existing tabs (translations, spell check, format, date time). After the third time I closed/restarted the session, the target locale finally prevailed. Not all strings are translated, I suppose a full l10n package will be avilable later on. So I wish to repeat the same steps, just to see if I run in the same crash/hang. Please advise how I can delete all kf5 settings ? Thanks.

[arch-general] Catalyst and GNOME 3.14

Hi everyone. Is anyone else having issues trying to start GNOME 3.14 with the Catalyst driver for AMD/ATI cards? I've got one of those laptops with the dual AMD cards (discrete and onboard), and the open-source drivers have never worked for me, forcing me to use Catalyst. With the latest update to GNOME 3.14, trying to log in results in the fail screen, and the system logs report that gnome-shell has been trying to restart too many times. The best my Google-fu can discover is that it's due to Wayland being a core part of GNOME… or something.

[arch-general] imagemagick 6.8.9.8-1 is slower than 6.8.9.7-1

After upgrading to imagemagick 6.8.9.8-1, I've found it to be a lot slower than 6.8.9.7-1. I only get this issue when downloading from the repositories or using the PKGBUILD, not when compiling using the instructions at imagemagic.org. I've discussed the issue with the ImageMagick developers, which you can find at http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=26369&sid=a…. Even when trying to convert a 500x500 image to 100x100, it appears that an image that is 2048x1536 is created. I've tried this on multiple Arch machines with the same result.

Such a fundamental attitude from upstream IMO is absolutely intolerably.

[arch-general] pacman: List not required and not opt-required.
by Hugo Osvaldo Barrera 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

Pacman now warns when trying to uninstall a package that is an optdepend for another, however, I was wondering if we could take this a step further, and have a flag to list "packages that are not mandatory OR optional dependencies for other packages". A typical usage is: pacman -Rnsu $(pacman -Qdtq) This uninstalls any leftover dependencies, INCLUDING optional dependencies. I'd love to exclude these, but there's no programatical way to obtain a list of packages that are "installed as dependencies and not mandatory or optional dependencies for other". Are there any plans to add such a flag? Maybe "-tt"? Is there any interest in this on behalf of anyone else? -- Hugo Osvaldo Barrera A: Because we read from top to bottom, left to right.

[arch-general] How to suppress --noconfirm when building with makechrootpkg
by Marcel Korpel 13 Oct '14

13 Oct '14

Hi all, When trying to build libreoffice-extension-writer2latex [1] using makechrootpkg I noticed that when several alternatives are provided for a specific package, say libreoffice-common, pacman always chooses the first one. This is due to the option --noconfirm that is passed in the chain makepkg -> pacman. This sounds reasonable, but how do I test a package against another alternative (e.g. libreoffice-still-common instead of libreoffice-fresh)? I know I can install packages using -I, but that's rather cumbersome when trying to build against several alternatives. Regards, Marcel [1]https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libreoffice-extension-writer2latex/

[arch-general] Shouldn't libreoffice-fresh also depend on libxinerama?
by Marcel Korpel 13 Oct '14

13 Oct '14

Hi all, As an experiment in building packages in a clean way, I tried to build libreoffice-extension-writer2latex [1] using makechrootpkg according to the wiki [2]. First I created a new chroot in ~/chroot using mkarchroot $CHROOT/root base-devel Then I made sure the chroot was up to date using arch-nspawn $CHROOT/root pacman -Syu After this I ran makechrootpkg with the following options makechrootpkg -ncr $CHROOT When the build function calls libreoffice to convert an .odt document to a pdf file, I got the following error: /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/oosplash: error while loading shared libraries: libXinerama.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Apparently the splash screen needs libxinerama. After running makechrootpkg -ncr $CHROOT -I /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libxinerama-1.1.3-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz I got another error, i.e. /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libcups.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory However, I think this is rather an edge case, as we're trying to convert a document (but don't we do this once in a while, anyway?). After also adding libcups, the package built correctly. This leads to my question: shouldn't libreoffice-fresh also depend on libxinerama? And perhaps also on libcups? If so, I'll file a bug report.

[arch-general] Package guidelines for apps requiring a specific Java version
by Maxwell Anselm 12 Oct '14

12 Oct '14

> What is the name/URL of this app? It's the GURPS character sheet: http://gurpscharactersheet.com/ I have a github repo for my WIP AUR package: https://github.com/silverhammermba/gcs > If building on a box where multiple JVM can be installed: build > scripts for Java apps usually provide a "--with-jdk=<PATH>" or > "--java-home=<PATH>" (or similar) to force the JVM to use to build. If > true for the app you are trying to build then you could use path > "/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/" Yeah, my primary concern here is multi-JVM boxes. If only Java 8 is installed, there's no issue. The build system is Apache Ant, and I can change the JVM it uses by setting JAVA_HOME for makepkg, but even then I can't assume that Java 8 is java-8-openjdk. For example jre from the AUR also provides java-runtime=8. I feel like the archlinux-java script should be able to get/set the default Java **per version**. That would make it much easier to handle all this.

Re: [arch-general] Netflix in Arch?
by Sebastiaan Lokhorst 12 Oct '14

12 Oct '14

Just because there still seems to be some confusion: Plugin-free Netflix requires Embedded Media Extensions (EME).[1] This is supported by all major closed-source browsers: Internet Explorer, Safari and Chrome. This includes Chrome on Arch (available in the AUR), without the need for any user-agent hacking or plugins. EME however requires a closed source component, therefore it is NOT available in open-source browsers, such as Chromium and Firefox, and likely _never_ will be. In the future, it might be possible to use some kind of closed-source plugin to support this in open-source browsers, but there is none at the moment. (there was some discussion about this with Firefox, see [1] for more details) So basically, at the moment you have two options to use Netflix on Arch: (1) install a closed-source browser (i.e. Chrome) with EME, where it will work out-of-the-box, or (2) install a open-source browser with all kinds of hackery such as Pipelight. I hope that this clears things up. Sebastiaan [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encrypted_Media_Extensions

Like the other person said though, if you want to recieve mail then you're talking about setting up a mail server. you shouldn't need anything(packages) to send from the cms, assuming the cms has all the php extensions it requires and is configured correctly. you may need to consult the documentation of the script that the mailer addon uses though as some have quirks. good luck.

Re: [arch-general] Netflix in Arch?
by Andrew M 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

Starting with Chrome 38, DRM can be managed by HTML5. Firefox and other browsers have not implemented this yet because the code for this is closed source. I believe you still need to use a plugin such as user agent switcher, as Netflix will not play natively on linux machines.

[arch-general] Removing compiler flag from CMake output
by Marcel Korpel 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

Hi, As I already feared, someone tried to build mysql-connector-c++ [1] against libmysqlclient 5.6.20-1, which results in the following error: …/driver/mysql_metadata.cpp:1216:74: error: ‘dynamic_cast’ not permitted with -fno-rtti How do I remove that compiler flag from CMake output? I already tried adding -frtti to CXXFLAGS in makepkg.conf, but this didn't change the compiler flags. I also tried to add it as an environment variable to the cmake call in PKGBUILD and add a set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-frtti") at several places in …/CMakeLists.txt, but to no avail, CMake keeps saying -- MySQL CXXFLAGS: -I/usr/include/mysql -fPIC -pipe -msse4.1 -mmmx -fomit-frame-pointer -fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -fno-strict-aliasing -DBIG_JOINS=1 -felide-constructors -fno-rtti -g -DNDEBUG And why isn't this a problem when building against libmariadbclient 10.0.14? Regards, Marcel [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mysql-connector-c%2B%2B/

[arch-general] packages and configuration required to send e-mails from php.
by mick 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

I'm setting up an apache, php, drupal 7 site and need to be able to send e-mails from the site but getting lost trying to find out what I need as far as system packages, php extensions and how to configure them all. I've tried a couple of scripts for php and they report they have succeeded but the test mail never arrives in my inbox. I suspect that php & drupal are working but I need something in the way of a mail server set up for them to work through. The Postfix was package was installed as a dependancy of something I installed but the help files seem to me to require a sound understanding of e-mail systems and their jargon which I don't have. Is there some kind soul out there who has the time and knowledge to help me get this working? mik

[arch-general] Regarding CUPS in [testing]
by Savya 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

The CUPS package in testing changes the names of two systemd service/socket files from cupsd.service and cups.{socket,service,path} to org.cups.cupsd.{socket,service,path}. It is indeed quite frightening to try to print something and to find out that cups.socket does not exist. Can this transition be eased over through a cups.install or something? -- Cheers! Savya

[arch-general] virt-clone change qcow2 to raw, fully reproducible.

Hello all, I am having a problem with virt-clone on Arch Linux always changes a QCOW2 image into RAW. I've seen this bug being reported to RedHat at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=795400. The last status seems that the bug was fixed upstream in Fedora 17. However, on ArchLinux, virt-clone still converts any QCOWS2 image into RAW. I would like to know if this is a known ArchLinux's specific bug or this is another issue with upstream. Regard.

[arch-general] Fast User Switching does not seem to work
by constantine 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Hello all! I am not sure this is the appropriate mailing list, and I have also posted to intel-gfx(a)lists.freedesktop.org (without any solution) and systemd-devel(a)lists.freedesktop.org Please indicate if you recommend me posting the problem to another list. I am encountering a peculiar problem with Fast User Switching or Kernel Mode Setting and I do not know how to troubleshoot it. Suppose the following tty2,3 or VTs: 1. Ctrl+Alt+F2: logged in user in console (no X) 2. Ctrl+Alt+F3: logged in user in console (no X) 3. Ctrl+Alt+F4: logged in user in Desktop Environment (X) 4. Ctrl+Alt+F5: logged in user in Desktop Environment (X) >From 1 to 2, or 2 to 1 there is no delay. >From 1,2 to 3, or 1,2 to 4 there is no delay. >From 3,4 to 1,2 there **is** delay. >From 3 to 4, or 4 to 3, there **is**delay. In words: when I run two (or more) Virtual Terminals switching between them (Ctrl+Alt+F4-5, etc.) takes 2+ seconds. (The VTs are either simply initiated with startx from tty2 and tty3 and having only TWM, xorg-clock and xterm as their open windows OR as different displays with KDisplay Manager (kdm) in :0 and :1) I am using an intel graphics driver so I suppose KMS should be enabled by default and this seems to be the case, but there still are delays swithing between VTs. I have followed the instructions at http://carlosbecker.com/posts/how-to-enable-kms-on-i915-graphiccard-archlin… https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/kernel_mode_setting https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_graphics after a fresh Arch Linux installation, but I am still experiencing the problem. I am certain it is not a hardware related issue, because I can fast switch in ubuntu, but not in Arch linux. My Arch uses systemd and Ubuntu upstart. Last, I am aware of the systemd's on-demand "feature" of spawning terminals but I think it is not related to this, since I think I correctly "pre-spawned" them. How can I make switching between VTs as instantaneous as possible?

[arch-general] Mariadb eats system ressources
by rumpelsepp＠sevenbyte.org 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Hi, after struggling with this problem for one week I have finally decided to post on the arch list for getting some help. I have a very strange problem with mariadb from the official repos. I run a usual LAMP stack (apache, php-fpm, mariadb) on archlinux. Since one week (or so) I have realized a very strange behavior: One mariadb process stucks on 100 percent CPU usage. I am not able to figure out what's going on. Restarting mariadb fixes the problem for a few hours. Here is a list of a few debug outputs [1]; I have put it in my pastebin because my email client would wrap the text at 80 chars. If you need even more information I can update the paste. The mariadb status page shows about 6,5 queries per second (!) and I don't know where this comes from. I have disabled remote access with "skip-networking" (mysql port is closed) and the PROCESSLIST does only show one process. I thought it might be an DDoS attack on a website but no apache access-log grows unexpectedly. Even after stopping apache mariadb stucks on 100 percent cpu usage. I figured out that there are listed a lot of connections in the output of "show status like 'Con%';". Last hour I even had about 5000 connections but there are no appropriate queries visible in the general log. The general log lists the wordpress queries which are executed when I click on my homepage. Everything looks fine; the cpu usage does not! Do you have any ideas what I can do to figure out what's going on with my mariadb? Thanks in advance! Stefan [1]: http://snippets.sevenbyte.org/8/raw/

[arch-general] systemd timers: switch default target to timers.target?
by Neitsab 08 Oct '14

08 Oct '14

Hi everybody, It seems like systemd now provides a target that is intended to gather all timers supposed to be activated after boot. From man 7 systemd.special: > timers.target > A special target unit that sets up all timer units (see > systemd.timer(5) for details) that shall be active after boot. > It is recommended that timer units installed by applications get > pulled in via Wants= dependencies from this unit. This is best > configured via WantedBy=timers.target in the timer unit's > "[Install]" section. systemd package itself provides two timers, /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-readahead-done.timer and /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-tmpfiles-clean.timer, the latter being statically enabled in the "new" /usr/lib/systemd/system/timers.target.wants directory. Five other packages in base group provide systemd timers: logrotate, man-db, mdadm, shadow and util-linux. I didn't manage to use pkgfile to get this list (globbing and regex switches didn't help, dunno why), so I only counted .timer files present in /usr/lib/systemd/system/. $ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/systemd/system/*.timer /usr/lib/systemd/system/fstrim.timer is owned by util-linux 2.25.1-1 /usr/lib/systemd/system/logrotate.timer is owned by logrotate 3.8.7-3 /usr/lib/systemd/system/man-db.timer is owned by man-db 2.6.7.1-1 /usr/lib/systemd/system/mdadm-last-resort@.timer is owned by mdadm 3.3.1-2 /usr/lib/systemd/system/shadow.timer is owned by shadow 4.2.1-1 /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-readahead-done.timer is owned by systemd 216-3 /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-tmpfiles-clean.timer is owned by systemd 216-3 Currently, three timers are statically enabled via symlinks in /usr/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ after install (logrotate.timer, man-db.timer and shadow.timer), while as already said systemd-tmpfiles-clean.timer is statically enabled via a symlink in /usr/lib/systemd/system/timers.target.wants/ (seemingly respecting new practice). On the other hand, util-linux' fstrim.timer, when enabled via systemctl, gets symlinked in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/. Other packages not part of base like extra/pkgstats or extra/mlocate also provide timers that once enabled, get symlinked to /usr/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/. So AFAICT, there are quite some discrepancies concerning how systemd timers are implemented. I'd like to discuss whether Arch should switch default timers target for packages in base group from multi-user.target to timers.target, possibly doing so for other packages in official repos. Cheers, Neitsab

[arch-general] mobile phone internet access
by message 05 Oct '14

05 Oct '14

Readers, Having read the web page 'android tethering', I write praying that a novice user is _not_ expected to have root access to a mobile phone, openvpn, android sdk etc. etc.! Currently using an old RPM distribution on another portable computer, internet access via an android mobile phone and usb cable is achieved by simple insertion of the usb cable into the computer! Mobile tethering is activated on the phone and "voila!", a dialogue window appears confirming internet access. Could someone please indicate: is this possible in arch linux? Anyway, on the other old(er) computer running arch linux, wicd was installed, but fails to recognise mobile phone internet access either via usb connection (tether mode) or wireless hotspot activation. Below is the wicd error log. --------------------------- wicd initializing... --------------------------- wicd is version 1.7.2.4 768 did not find backend in configuration, setting default external setting backend to external trying to load backend external successfully loaded backend external trying to load backend external successfully loaded backend external Automatically detected wireless interface wl... did not find wireless_interface in configuration, setting default wl... setting wireless interface wl... automatically detected wired interface eth0 did not find wired_interface in configuration, setting default eth0 setting wired interface eth0 did not find wpa_driver in configuration, setting default wext setting wpa driver wext did not find always_show_wired_interface in configuration, setting default False did not find use_global_dns in configuration, setting default False setting use global dns to False did not find global_dns_1 in configuration, setting default None did not find global_dns_2 in configuration, setting default None did not find global_dns_3 in configuration, setting default None did not find global_dns_dom in configuration, setting default None did not find global_search_dom in configuration, setting default None setting global dns global dns servers are None None None domain is None search domain is None did not find auto_reconnect in configuration, setting default True setting automatically reconnect when connection drops True did not find debug_mode in configuration, setting default False did not find wired_connect_mode in configuration, setting default 1 did not find signal_display_type in configuration, setting default 0 did not find should_verify_ap in configuration, setting default 1 did not find dhcp_client in configuration, setting default 0 Setting dhcp client to 0 did not find link_detect_tool in configuration, setting default 0 did not find flush_tool in configuration, setting default 0 did not find sudo_app in configuration, setting default 0 did not find prefer_wired in configuration, setting default False did not find show_never_connect in configuration, setting default True Wireless configuration file not found, creating...

[arch-general] Package guidelines for apps requiring a specific Java version
by Maxwell Anselm 04 Oct '14

04 Oct '14

I'm working on a PKGBUILD for a Java app that must be built and run using Java 8, but I couldn't find any guidelines on best practices for such a situation. The easy part is including 'java-environment=8' and 'java-runtime=8' in makedepends and depends respectively, but how to ensure the right version is set as default when building and running (rather than spitting out the opaque Java errors you get when using the wrong version)? Right now at the start of build() I have echo "Checking that default Java is version 8..." java -version 2>&1 | grep 'version "1.8' Which seems reasonable since building is infrequent. But what about for the shell script that starts the app? I could put a similar check there, but that seems like it would be really annoying for people who have multiple Java versions installed. Could there be a good way of letting my app always use Java 8, even if some other version is set as the default? Thanks, Max

I have a feeling this should be documented somewhere, but I can't seem to find anything about it. When catching up with the latest package updates just now I noticed I had a passwd.pacnew file in /etc. When merging in the changes I found I have two systemd user entries that don't appear in the upstream file: systemd-journal-remote:x:997:997:systemd Journal Remote:/:/usr/bin/nologin systemd-journal-upload:x:996:996:systemd Journal Upload:/:/usr/bin/nologin Are they safe to remove? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus The results point out the fragility of programmer expertise: advanced programmers have strong expectations about what programs should look like, and when those expectations are violated--in seemingly innocuous ways--their performance drops drastically. -- Elliot Soloway and Kate Ehrlich

[arch-general] wireshark-qt 1.12
by G. Richard Bellamy 01 Oct '14

01 Oct '14

When looking at the PKGBUILD for the wireshark split package [1], I see that both wireshark-cli and wireshark-gtk use "conflicts=(wireshark)" but wireshark-qt does not. Should it? The use of "replaces=(wireshark)" is also inconsistent. I'm just wondering if there's some rationale behind the use (or non-use) of these functions inside one split package over another, or if it's a simple oversight? -rb [1] https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h…

[arch-general] wireless tools installation without internet access
by message 30 Sep '14

Readers, An old portable computer has been installed with archlinux via a CD and was used successfully with ethernet cable internet connection. Now, cable connection is no longer available and it became necessary that various wireless software was not installed. Firmware (ipw2100 for intel wireless pro) was copied from usb memory to a /usr/local/ directory. After trying the command 'make', an error was reported that some wireless software (ieee802 I think?). Are there a set of wireless functionality tools that can be downloaded to a usb flash memory device, then installed onto this old computer?

[arch-general] A good time to switch to dash as /bin/sh?
by lolilolicon 28 Sep '14

28 Sep '14

With the disclosure of the new bash bug (CVE-2014-6271, CVE-2014-7169), it seems timely to bring this up. Dan added dash to core/base around seven years ago [1], intending the eventually link /bin/sh to dash instead of bash. [1] https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2007-November/00305… We didn't make the switch, supposedly due to the bashism in our scripts which had a #!/bin/sh shebang line? Seven years passed. Is there anything preventing us from making the switch from bash to dash as /bin/sh now? We can then have dash provide sh instead.

[arch-general] To those that are testing Gnome 3.14
by Lorenzo Bandieri 27 Sep '14

27 Sep '14

Hi list, I have a favor to ask to those that are currently testing Gnome 3.14. In gnome 3.12 I am having problems with user switching, which is quite important for me. In particular, I had this annoying bug [1] since I installed Gnome in this computer. When Xorg 1.16 came out, it broke completely the switch user functionality for me (it caused my system to hang, forcing me to send a SIGTERM with Alt+SysRq+e). For what it's worth, I created a /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config, but that did not solve the issue. At the time I didn't want to investigate the issue since I needed the system to Just Work(tm), and I simply downgraded Xorg. I'm still running with the old Xorg, but I know that I can't go on like this forever. If anyone running Gnome 3.14 happened to test the switch user functionality, I would be interested to know: - if you are observing any problem switching user with Xorg 1.16, - if you are observing Bug #730360; to test, see [1] Thanks in advance!

[arch-general] multiarch support like debian, pro and cons?
by Ranomier 26 Sep '14

26 Sep '14

I wrote my idea first on the irc, but i think here is a better place. The idea is to give up multiarch repo and make pacman and archlinux capable for real multiarch support That means u could install a 32bit package from the normal repos core, extra, community usw and not from multilib repo in 64bit arch. (example: pacman -S firefox:i386) And that means package maintainer don´t have to maintain two 32bit packages, plus all 32bit package where available ob 64bit. What are u guys thinking, about that ideas. What where the pro and cons, that i don´t see. Greetings, Ranomier

[arch-general] Gnome 3.14 boot hanging (Reached System Update Target)
by lltp 26 Sep '14

26 Sep '14

Hi, I just upgraded to Gnome 3.14 and wanted to test new things, especially the new Pacman backend to PackageKit (through gnome-software). I just clicked on the "update and restart" notification and I couldn't boot anymore. I remove the "quiet" kernel boot flag in Grub and saw that the offending line was "[OK] Reached System Update Target". There was no timeout so my system just hanged like that for a dozen of minutes (coffee time). No TTY was available. I solved this by adding the "single" kernel boot flag in Grub, then log in as root, then remove the /system-update folder then reboot. Regards

[arch-general] mkinitcpio debugging with systemd
by Tobias Hunger 26 Sep '14

26 Sep '14

Hello! I am running a initrd make with mkinitcpio using the "systemd" hook. This works great in general, but after a bit of playing with the hooks and systemd code the generated initrd will no longer start. That is no big deal and entirely my fault and I should be able to fix it. My problem is now that I can not really debug the initrd anymore. Is there a way to get a debug shell on the initrd when using the systemd hook? Any hints would be greatly appreciated:-) Best Regards, Tobias

[arch-general] Dual monitor extreme slow response
by Matthias Klein 24 Sep '14

Hi, I tried to switch on my Lenovo L530 Notebook from Debian testing (KDE) to Arch Linux. Installation was no problem, but when I connect a second monitor to the VGA port the whole system gets very slow / unuseable. (The same hardware constalation works without problems under Debain testing.) I tried varios things, but nothing solved the problem: - acceleration method: UXA - acceleration method: Glamor - Upgrade to xf86-video-intel-git - Kernel downgrade to 3.14 I tried to downgrade the xf86-video-intel using Arch Rollback Machine but pacman complained about xorg-server X-ABI-VIDEODRV_VERSION. Do I have to downgade the whole xorg? Or should I try to rebuild the old driver which is used in Debian from source against my Xorg installation?

[arch-general] Out-of-date sbcl has fairly serious ASDF bug
by Drake Wilson 23 Sep '14

23 Sep '14

(I originally attempted to send this to arch-dev-public, but apparently that's only for making discussions from a relatively closed circle visible? The list descriptions on the listinfo page were very ambiguous; if even things like packaging issues should go to -general if from third parties, perhaps the -dev-public description should be updated to be clearer about this.) The currently packaged sbcl 1.2.2-1 seems subject to the ASDF bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/asdf/+bug/982285 where systems installed into /usr (e.g., according to the Arch Linux Lisp Package Guidelines) are not found when the environment variable XDG_DATA_DIRS is unset. (A workaround is to set XDG_DATA_DIRS to /usr/local/share:/usr/share explicitly.) ASDF upstream has fixed this, and SBCL upstream includes the fix in 1.2.3. The sbcl package was flagged out-of-date ~23 days ago on 2014-08-29. I would very much like to run with a newer packaged sbcl rather than limping along with the workaround. Is there anything I can do to help speed things along, or can I only wait for the package maintainer? I'm half-expecting there to be some careful coördination required with other Lisp packages, since SBCL is such a prominent implementation, but I didn't find any obvious discussion about any of this previously... ---> Drake Wilson

[arch-general] Xorg hangs with nouveau
by Xandaros Yotanido 21 Sep '14

21 Sep '14

I initially used the proprietary nvidia drivers, but one of my favourite games, Wurm Online, used to crash very often when switching workspaces. Since I use a tiling window manager, that was not exactly ideal. I subsequently switched to nouveau, since the crash logs suggested that the nvidia drivers were at fault and indeed, no more crashes - so far so good. However, every now and then, Xorg decides to hang, which usually results in me doing a hard reset. So far, this has only happened when playing said game. While I would gladly blame it on the game, it should not be able to cause such issues and it is running fine for a friend of mine, also running nouveau. I actually managed to get Xorg to crash, I have attached the coredump. I tried looking at it with gdb (I compiled Xorg with debug symbols), but could not make sense of it. I also attached the xorg log that (I hope) belongs to the dump. I hope you can help me resolve this issue. It might be a bug of nouveau, but since the proprietary drivers also had issues, I suspect more. (Maybe my card is damaged?) Output of "lspci | grep VGA": 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK106 [GeForce GTX 650 Ti] (rev a1) I'm using up-to-date arch linux at the time of writing this Email on a x86_64 architecture. I am using a self-compiled version of Xorg to include debug symbols, no other changes (Was also happening with the Xorg version in the repo) and I'm using i3 as window manager, in case that is relevant.

[arch-general] Issues when updating mysql-connector-c++
by Marcel Korpel 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

Hi, Since mysql-connector-c++ 1.1.4 has been available for a few months I am trying to create a PKGBUILD for this version. The first problem I encountered was the MYSQL_LIB variable set to NOTFOUND by default. I circumvented this issue by hardcoding -DMYSQL_LIB=/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so in my PKGBUILD [1]. However, I don't think this is the right solution. Does anyone know how to obtain the location of this library and pass it to cmake correctly? After this workaround make begins to build the library, but errors when linking an object file: [ 47%] Building CXX object test/framework/CMakeFiles/test_framework.dir/start_options.cpp.o Linking CXX executable driver_test ../driver/libmysqlcppconn.so.7.1.1.4: undefined reference to `mysql_options4' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status When viewing the symbols in libmysqlcppconn.so.7.1.1.4 (using readelf) I noticed that mysql_options4 is indeed available, but with an undefined index. So I searched for this error and found some info about undefined symbols, but not about this particular case or anything that could be related. Does anyone know how to solve this issue? I thought that it might be because I have libmariadbclient 10.0.13-1 installed and tried to build the connector against Oracle's libmysqlclient from AUR. This time, I got a different error: /…/src/mysql-connector-c++-1.1.4/driver/mysql_metadata.cpp:1216:74: error: ‘dynamic_cast’ not permitted with -fno-rtti connection(dynamic_cast< MySQL_Connection * >(service->getConnection())), ^ So somehow I should remove this flag from the compiler command line make uses. However, as mariadb is now default in Arch, I think we should try to build mysql-connector-c++ against that. Regards, Marcel [1] http://pastebin.com/jUcJabBx

[arch-general] Location of the pacman database
by Yamakaky 15 Sep '14

15 Sep '14

Hi ! Why is the pacman local database location defaulted to /var/lib/pacman ? It should go in /usr as it reflects the installed packages and it is only updated when a package is updated. If it where in /usr, it would be easier to share the /usr partition between hosts. What do you think ?

[arch-general] no audio in VLC after seek in video playback
by Nelson Marambio 15 Sep '14

15 Sep '14

Hi, Arch'ers, again I've a problem with audio/video in GNOME and again I hope you can give me a hint to solve it. I trust in you ! :) I realized it yesterday that there is a problem with VLC and playing MP4-files (might concern other formats too). The audio mutes if I forward / rewind during the playback. This also happens if I pause the playback before I forward. Google finds a lot of stuff to this description, most of them with an earlier version of VLC and also most of them in context of (K)Ubuntu. Some threads suggested to install a package 'vlc-plugin-pulse' but I think that does not fit to Archlinux. Starting VLC by 'vlc -vvv' naturally produces a lot of debug output but apart from the pasted lines below there was'nt something useful to read there. First I thought it might be related to my bluetooth headset and bluez again but the problem also occurs if I use the interal audio speakers of my laptop or analog audio headset. I don't even know where to focus on: pulseaudio or VLC ? I guess on VLC, with GNOME MPlayer video playback works fine (but fullscreen mode does not run smoothly). Kind regards, Nelson. ******* [0x8ed1d80] pulse audio output debug: underflow [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Buffering 8% [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Buffering 16% [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Buffering 25% [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Buffering 33% [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Buffering 41% [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Buffering 50% [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Buffering 58% [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Buffering 66% [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Buffering 75% [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Buffering 83% [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Buffering 91% [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Buffering 100% [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Stream buffering done (325 ms in 27 ms) [0xb050c228] main decoder debug: End of video preroll [0xb050c228] main decoder debug: Received first picture [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Decoder buffering done in 73 ms

[arch-general] ncmpcpp 0.6beta2-1
by Manolo Martínez 14 Sep '14

14 Sep '14

Hi, Since the upgrade of nmcpcpp to 0.6beta2 yesterday, custom keybindings no longer work, and the commandline subcommands (most importantly for me, `ncmpcpp toggle`) have stopped working as well. Downgrading to 0.5.10 solve these issues. Perhaps the package should stay at the last stable release? (I should say I don't follow ncmpcpp development closely at all, and for all I know that beta might have been around for years. In any case, I'm seeing the above problems with the beta version.) Cheers, Manolo --

[arch-general] systemctl reboot

Hi, as user I have the permission to run systemctl reboot _without_ sudo. $ groups wheel games video audio optical storage power users vboxusers rocketmouse $ sudo cat /etc/sudoers | grep -v "#" | grep " " root ALL=(ALL) ALL rocketmouse ALL=(ALL) ALL 1. How can I disable it? 2. Since I'm the only user I could live with it, but I anyway want to be ask for a password, before I run the command by a menu entry. Is anything speaking against running gksudo systemctl reboot ? Is anything speaking against running gksudo -u some_user reboot ? I don't think so, but I want to ensure that I don't miss something. Again, I can execute it successfully without gksudo, I want to add gksudo, because I want to be asked for the password. Regards, Ralf

[arch-general] Dell latitude and keyboard problem
by Sławek Kapłoński 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

Hello, I have Arch linux installed on Dell latitude e7440 laptop. Generally almost everything works fine but I have one annoying problem. When I type something on keyboard, sometimes (randomly) random key is "blocked" like it was pressed all time (for example when I wroteeeeeeeeeeee something). This stops when I press any other (or even the same) key once again. I test it on Windows 7 (not for long time but in similar time on linux this problem appear) and there was no problem on Win. I have no idea what could be a reason of that problem and how to debug or diagnose it. Maybe someone of You had same problem on will have some idea how to start searching reason of that :) I will be graceful for any help :) -- Pozdrawiam, Sławek Kapłoński slawek(a)kaplonski.pl -- Klucz GPG można pobrać ze strony: http://kaplonski.pl/files/slawek_kaplonski.pub.key -- My public GPG key can be downloaded from: http://kaplonski.pl/files/slawek_kaplonski.pub.key

[arch-general] [Berlin]ArchLinux User Group

11 Sep '14

Hello everyone, I have seen an increased interests in Arch Linux by a lot of users lately. While I'm already exchanging with some of my friends regards this a lot, more and more are coming. So I thought about create a (for now) monthly appointment where we can met to talk, help and work on ArchLinux or just be around. It should be nothing special. On the 1 of October I like you to invite everyone to the first "ArchLinux User Group" meeting in Berlin. At least the first I'm with me ';-). I hope to host it in the c-base[1]. There will be no agenda and no plan for this. Just bring yourself. The only thing that you have to take care: to be excellent to each other! Feel free to join us on the IRC on Freenode #Archlinux-berlin [1]https://c-base.org/ best regards Akendo

[arch-general] Laptop overheating causes decreased CPU performance until reboot (even after cooling)
by Anish Shankar 04 Sep '14

04 Sep '14

Hi, I have a dell 1564 laptop with an i5-M430 cpu, running arch linux. For a long while now I've had issues with very degraded CPU performance if my cpu temperature is very hot till around ~95 degree Celsius. The problem is that the degraded cpu performance stays inspite of cooling down back to 60 degrees, and even multiple suspend-resume cycles. The only way to reset the same is a reboot. I can't seem to track down the cause of this. The cpu frequency etc. look normal, all 4 vitual-cpu's are active from cpuinfo. top reports nearly 5x increased % cpu usage for process compared to what they normally use. Some simple CPU benchmarks (N-Queens) also take approximately 5 times longer. I'm using kernel: 3.14.6-1-ARCH 64bit Can you suggest some ways to track down this issue? or alternatively a way to reset this so that I don't need to reboot to restore performance. The issue is reproducable (I just need to use the CPU at max, for a while to overheat it), so I can provide any logs etc. if it will help to find the cause. I also previously posted with some more details on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=183236 without any response.

[arch-general] Migrating /var to a different partition
by Sri Krishna 04 Sep '14

04 Sep '14

Hi, I'm doing a clean install of Arch on a new computer, and during the install I'd already set aside 2GiB for the /var partition. Except I forgot to add it to fstab before I exited chroot, and booted into Arch and installed a DE etc. Now two days later I realize that Arch has already created a /var directory on the / partition. How do I migrate /var into the partition I'd originally created for it? Is it as simple as adding a line to fstab and rebooting? Thanks, Krishna

[arch-general] Gnome extensions and the extension site

03 Sep '14

For a while now I get the following message when I visit https://extensions.gnome.org/: We cannot detect a running copy of GNOME on this system, so some parts of the interface may be disabled. See our troubleshooting entry for more information. It was working a few months ago; since this is Arch it was quite a few updates ago ;) Now a couple of the extensions I like are out of date and I'd like to update them. I've looked at the "troubleshooting entry" but nothing there improves the situation. Are others seeing this, or am I alone?

[arch-general] Btrfs blues - lack of space

Hello, all The contents of my /etc/fstab are as follows: /dev/sda3 / btrfs rw,relatime,space_cache,autodefrag 0 0 /dev/sda1 /boot ext2 rw,relatime 0 2 /dev/sda5 /home btrfs rw,relatime,space_cache,autodefrag 0 0 Whenever I start my laptop up, /home takes ~17-19 seconds to mount, as is evidenced by this line in the output of systemd-analyze blame: 16.467s home.mount Running df -h on my system, I get: Filesystem Total Used Free Use% Mounted on /dev/sda5 422G 364G 53G 88% /home However, running du -h --summarize /home, I get: 318G /home If I use xdiskusage to see the partition, it shows 46.48G as /home/(permission denied). I tried doing this using sudo, and I still have the same problem. I have neither subvolumes nor any snapshots on this volume. Is there any way of recovering this space?

[arch-general] fstab and root filesystem
by Kalrish Bäakjen 29 Aug '14

29 Aug '14

Hello, I have been playing with the initramfs, and I noticed that the root filesystem is mounted in read-write mode in early init. Since, by the time /etc/fstab is available, the filesystem on which it resides (presumably, the root filesystem) is already mounted, and mounting it is anyway early init's task, not real init's (because the real init cannot be found without the initramfs), there seems to be no point in keeping it listed. I haven't found anything about this, but commenting out the pertinent line hasn't broken anything. Is it fine, or are there any reasons for it to be listed in fstab? Regards, Kalrish

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 To all, I was wondering regarding the killing of a zombie process. As far as I know, a zombied process is inherited by root when it's parent is killed.

[arch-general] File conflict between cuda and pacparser
by Chi Hsuan Yen 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

Hello, Arch lovers, Both community/pacparser and community/cuda contain the file /usr/share/man/man3/deprecated.3.gz, so pacman prevent me from installing both packages. How can I jump over the obstacle? Maybe it's better to establish some mechanism for preventing irreleveant packages with common files. In addition, is there a dedicated mailing list for discussions on official (not AUR) packages? Something like commenting system on the AUR website is also fine.

[arch-general] Rethinking our CA certificate setup
by Jan Alexander Steffens 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

Hi guys, I'm currently at FrOSCon with Pierre and an expert from CAcert.org and we're thinking of changes to our certificate setup. The current issues are: - Mozilla NSS uses its own root store and not /etc/ssl/certs - ca-certificates ships outdated Mozilla roots - Shipping additional roots outside ca-certificates is difficult, requiring patching /etc/ca-certificates.conf To solve these issues, we thought of making the following changes: - Attach NSS to p11-kit so it uses our root store (easily done by replacing /usr/lib/libnssckbi.so with a symlink to p11-kit-proxy.so) - Patch the update-ca-certificates script to read /etc/ca-certificates/conf.d instead of /etc/ca-certificates.conf - Split the current Mozilla roots from the NSS package in the ca-certificates format, shipping /etc/ca-certificates/conf.d/mozilla.conf - Create a package shipping the CAcert.org roots in a similar way - Ship the update-ca-certificates script in a ca-certificates-utils package, which the certificate packages depend on - ca-certificates becomes a metapackage depending on the -mozilla and -cacert packages Comments are welcome. Unless we get objections, we're going to start making these changes. Hopefully we can be done today and push the result to [testing]. Greetings, Jan

[arch-general] 3.16.1-1 :install custom kernel failed. No packages were upgraded- depmod for a wrong kernel name
by arnaud gaboury 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

Hi, I have been building/installing a custom kernel for some time now with no issues. I always follow the same process: ------------------------------------------------ * $ ABSROOT=. abs core/linux * edit the PKGBUILD: -pkgbase=linux-hortensia uncomment #make nconfig, * $ makepkg load MyConfigFile, do sometimes some stuffs, save as .config, exit nconfig * # pacman -Ud linux-hortensia-headers # pacman -U linux-hortensia # pacman -U linux-hortensia-docs ----------------------------------------------------- I decide to give a try at Nouveau: --------------------------------------------------------- -pkgbase=linux-nouveau * nconfig: Device Drivers ---> Graphics support ---> DRM ---> <M> Nouveau (nvidia) cards Frame buffer Devices ---> <M>Support for frame buffer devices ---> empty all * save as .config * # pacman -Ud linux-nouveau-headers. ---> long list of lines all in this type <--------- linux-nouveau-headers: /usr/lib/modules/3.16.1-1-hortensia/build/sound/soc/intel/Kconfig exists in filesystem <------------------------> Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded ----------------------------------------------------------------- I am surprised as it is the first time I have this error. I am expecting the new headers to be installed in /usr/lib/modules/3.16.1-1-nouveau and NOT in the 3.16.1-1-hortensia dir. Why do I have again the /3.16.1-1-hortensia folder in linux-nouveau/pkg/linux-nouveau/usr/lib/modules/3.16.1-1-hortensia, and not a /3.6.1-1-nouveau/ folder instead? Last, at the end of the makepkg command, I can see: DEPMOD 3.16.1-1-hortensia. Why not DEPMOD 3.16.1-1-nouveau? Did anything changed when building/installing custom kernel? Or is there any wrong variable somewhere in the PKGBUILD? Thank you for suggestion

[arch-general] System vs. user-wide locale
by Alad Wenter 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

Hi, Arch Linux currently emphasises on setting the locale system-wide. If a non-english language is desired, it should be uncommented in /etc/locale.gen (besides en_US.UTF-8), and set in /etc/locale.conf. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide#Configure_the_system https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginner%27s_guide#Locale While the Locale article mentions a user-wide setting (.config/locale.conf), this is more an aside for "multi-user" systems. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Locale#Setting_per-user_locale An alternative approach is mentioned in the Funtoo FAQ: "The next thing I recommend is to try to avoid changing the global system LANG setting, and instead set the LANG setting on a per-user basis by adding the desired LANG setting to your ~/.bashrc. This will preserve English log output in /var/log and make it easier to search for more common matching English strings on the Internet when you need help." http://www.funtoo.org/Funtoo_Linux_FAQ#What_if_I_want_to_use_a_non-English_… Thus /etc/locale.conf would have LANG=en_US.UTF-8, and other languages would be defined in ~/.bashrc (or rather ~/.config/locale.conf). This sounds like a fair argument. Are there possible downsides to this approach in Arch, or can/should the respective articles be updated? Regards, -- Alad Wenter <the.changing.side(a)gmail.com>

[arch-general] Unable to dual seat- one nvidia card- lightdm
by arnaud gaboury 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

Even after lots of readings and many tries, I am not able to set up a working dual seat configuration on my machine. I have two users, two monitors, two mouses, two keyboard, unfortunately one only nvidia card. But from what I read, it is possible to have two users both logged and sharing only the video card. My issues: - I can not limit one user to one monitor. The screen uses the two monitots. - Second user has a "double" task bar in his mate session.

[arch-general] bugs.archlinux.org - enable comments on closed issues
by Nowaker 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

Hi, This is annoying that the reporter can't leave any comment after the issue is closed. No, I don't want to "Request re-open". The issue is closed for a good reason, no doubt. But closing the issue shouldn't end the discussion - the reporter may want to add something. Can you please consider changing this? Thanks. -- Kind regards, Damian Nowak StratusHost www.AtlasHost.eu

[arch-general] Help diagnosing kworker 'bug'

Yesterday night I noticed (just before performing an update my conky showing high continuous writing to root. iotop -Pa shows this:- Total DISK READ : 0.00 B/s | Total DISK WRITE : 8.93 M/s Actual DISK READ: 0.00 B/s | Actual DISK WRITE: 11.06 M/s PID PRIO USER DISK READ DISK WRITE SWAPIN IO> COMMAND 112 be/4 root 0.00 B 64.91 M 0.00 % 24.34 % [kworker/u16:3] 11936 be/4 root 0.00 B 0.00 B 0.00 % 0.06 % [kworker/1:1] 28794 be/4 root 0.00 B 36.00 K 0.00 % 0.00 % [kworker/u16:1] This is after roughly 6-7 seconds, and 65 MB has already been written by that kworker thread. As I said, this was already happening before an upgrade. I ran the upgrade anyway, which upgraded linux to 3.16-2, and still got the same thing. Yes, I'm using [testing]. Any ideas on how to proceed? Next thing I'm going to try is downgrading linux to 3.15, but I thought I'd post this here first in case I don't make it back.

[arch-general] LibreOffice update
by Viktor G 23 Aug '14

23 Aug '14

Hello, I want to update my LibreOffice installation but pacman informed me about a conflict with the packages. So, there are libreoffice-still-* packages and there is one libreoffice-fresh package. I want to update to 4.3.x. Why are versions split into two branches and does libreoffice-fresh contain all the LO applications like Writer, Calc, etc.? (There is no libreoffice-fresh-writer or libreoffice-writer package) Thanks Vik

It is strange to split > Still but not Fresh. (I'm all for shipping one large pkg by the way) I take the opposite view. I prefer a minimal system and only use Writer and Calc, so I prefer to keep the components separate.

Hi, [sorry for cross-posting] On Wed, Aug 20, 2014 at 02:25:24PM -0400, Dave Reisner wrote: > Full NEWS file: > > http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/NEWS This changelog says that: * journald will no longer forward all local data to another running syslog daemon. This change has been made because rsyslog (which appears to be the most commonly used syslog implementation these days) no longer makes use of this, and instead pulls the data out of the journal on its own. Since forwarding the messages to a non-existent syslog server is more expensive than we assumed we have now turned this off. If you run a syslog server that is not a recent rsyslog version, you have to turn this option on again (ForwardToSyslog= in journald.conf). This is going to break syslog-ng... So is it possible to patch journald.conf and enable ForwardToSyslog in the package?

Hi It's good to have a real vim package, but the `clipboard` option is now disabled (see `vim --version`). Is there any reason ? I use it a lot via the "+ register. Thanks

[arch-general] Updates for avr-gcc and avr-libc
by Karol Babioch 20 Aug '14

20 Aug '14

Hi, the current maintainer of avr-gcc and avr-libc, Jakob Gruber, seems to be away until October [1]. In the meantime new versions of both packages have been released. Due to a bug within avr-gcc 4.9.0, avr-libc 1.8.1 cannot be built [2] and avr-gcc 4.9.1 is required, so actually both packages should be upgraded at once. Simply bumping the numbers within the appropriate PKGBUILD seems to be sufficient, some developer and/or TU could take care of this? Best regards, Karol Babioch [1]: https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2014-July/026451.ht… [2]: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/avr-libc-dev/2014-08/msg00020.html

Hello, Today I update my system with pacman and there was kde upgrade to 4.14.0 version. Now I have problem that "kontact" don't want to start. When I check akonadi in akonadiconsole I saw that there is errors as below (I paste only errors results). Do You know is it related to Arch's kde packages and I should wait to new upgrade or maybe this is bug in kde and I should report it directly on kde?

[arch-general] Gnome crashing with segmentation fault - Not sure about the source

Dear all, Gnome is crashing on my machine[1] with the typical "Oh no, something has gone wrong" message. XFCE starts and works fine, though. The gnome crash leaves this message[2], but from it is not clear to me which is the root of the problem. Setting the backlight, or something wrongwith the intel drivers? Any insight about it is appreciated. [1] http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:X200_Tablet [2] https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1390205/Xorg.0.log

[arch-general] Improve the filesystem package
by Yamakaky 20 Aug '14

Hi I see some possible improvements to the filesystem package to use some of the recent improvements to systemd. I don't know if they are already planned. All the empty directories and the links could be replaced by a tmpfiles.d file, like /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/archlinux.conf. /etc/{group,gshadow,passwd,shadow} could be removed as the base users and groups are already created by the upstream sysusers.d files. The arch-specific ones (like bin or daemon) could be created by /usr/lib/sysusers.d/archlinux.conf. The others /etc/ files could be moved to /usr/share/etc/ and copied as needed to /etc using tmpfiles.d files. A filesystem.install file could launch systemd-tmpfiles and systemd-sysusers to update the local configuration when the package is updated. In the end, filesystem would contain only tmpfiles.d and sysusers.d files + /usr/share/etc. I can make a draft of this package if you want.

[arch-general] Arch curiosity
by James 20 Aug '14

20 Aug '14

Hello, As my background is Gentoo, Arch has frequently crossed my mind. So, specifically, here is what I'm interested in testing on Arch. Mesos, Chronos, Spark, Hadoop Lxqt(5?) and whatever file system to run (HDFS)? I believe all of these aforementioned packages, except for Chronos are available in Arch, in one form or another? I could not find the pages where it specifies which file systems Arch supports. BTRFS is in my plans for testing along with HDFS. I did not (yet) find the documents and discussion of the files systems available in ARCH linux.....I have (2) fX8350 workstations I can devote to the dual purpose of cluster building/testing under arch linux. Last, I'm curious as to future arch plans, if any, to support the newest AMD_arm64 server processors? [1] James [1] http://www.forbes.com/sites/marcochiappetta/2014/07/31/amd-opteron-64-bit-a…

[arch-general] Weird program in $PATH
by Heiko Becker 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

Hey everyone, today I tried to launch firefox from my awesome-wm launcher and instead of being offered firefox after typing fire, the prompt finished showing me alternatives and being a little lazy I just pushed enter. This gave me a window with some fire particle animations running on my screen. Searching for the program in my pacman.log did not show me anything so I'm wondering where this program comes from. Can anyone of you maybe help me to at least get this thing removed without having any files left that are only used by this program? Best regards, Heiko

[arch-general] POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL(_DESIGN) semantics
by Chrisitan Burkard 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

Hi, I am wondering what the semantics of POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL(_DESIGN) are. I am using a ~3 years old thinkpad with its first battery so aging is something normal I guess. (see below). [watnuss@tp ~]$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent POWER_SUPPLY_NAME=BAT0 POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS=Unknown POWER_SUPPLY_PRESENT=1 POWER_SUPPLY_TECHNOLOGY=Li-ion POWER_SUPPLY_CYCLE_COUNT=0 POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_MIN_DESIGN=11100000 POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_NOW=12484000 POWER_SUPPLY_CURRENT_NOW=0 POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL_DESIGN=7800000 POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL=5052000 POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_NOW=4551000 POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY=90 POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY_LEVEL=Normal POWER_SUPPLY_MODEL_NAME=42T4799 POWER_SUPPLY_MANUFACTURER=SANYO POWER_SUPPLY_SERIAL_NUMBER= 5878 As I understand POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL_DESIGN would be the capacity of a fully charged new battery and POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL is the maximum capacity of the battery today. I am asking because I am using i3status to show my battery loading state and it shows me 58% which would be (CHARGE_NOW / CHARGE_FULL_DESIGN). If I understand correctly this doesn't make any sense if I am not able to reach the CHARGE_FULL_DESIGN capacity anyways, today. So if anyone with a bit more knowledge about this mechanic could confirm my guess I would contact upstream what they think about it. (In my opinion they should read CHARGE_FULL to determine the current battery %) Another issue I have is that the POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS shows 'Unknown' on AC but 'Discharging' on Battery. Do you have any idea why? My guess is that i3 uses this property to show the battery/AC state in i3status and because of the 'Unkown' value I don't get updates on the state there. Best regards and thanks for your help Christian

[arch-general] USB power cut in early userspace since recent update
by Sebastian Lipp 17 Aug '14

17 Aug '14

Hi Since yesterdays pacman -Syu I'm unable to boot my system the usual way. My observation on that is the following. In early userspace the USB port's power gets cut for around a second which is indicated by the LED of the external drive I'm booting from. Therefore - as I further assume - recognition of the drive gets lost and decrypting and mounting of root is not possible. When I (un)plug the drive both actions get recognized as such but the device(s) don't get registered. I already guessed and tried to 1. reinstall syslinux bootloader, 2. (realize the power cut and) downgrade kernel, 3. downgrade (lib)systemd and 4. mkinitcpio from a chroot and reboot between each of the steps. Nothing of that helped. I will attach a grep of my pacman.log to show which pkgs where upgraded. There were no errors logged. I will happily provide any further information that might help directing me towards debugging and fixing that problem. Getting rid of the intermediate USB gets me rid of the described problem which is obviously no permanent solution. Thanks a lot. basti

Do you mind if I put a link to your gist on the wiki (ownCloud page, nginx + uwsgi section)? Just two questions: * I see you define two 'root" directives in nginx.conf, a server-wide one (/srv/http) and the / location one (/usr/share/webapps/owncloud): what is the interest of doing so? * I see (from enabled php extensions) you use SQLite? How does it go performance-wise? (if you prefer I can put my questions on the gist comments instead of the ML) Help is much appreciated, thanks.

[arch-general] TeXLive 2014 packages
by Rémy Oudompheng 13 Aug '14

Hello, I have updated TeXLive packages for the 2014 release in the [testing] repo. The main visible change is the split of the huge texlive-langcjk package into 3 packages (langchinese, langjapanese, langkorean) to follow upstream split of the corresponding TeXLive collection. The upgrade should not cause any particular issue. Please report any problem you are experiencing. Regards, Rémy.

If you could verify the instructions on the wiki [1] and update them to reflect your current working install (nginx.conf server context and uWSGI owncloud config file), it would be much appreciated. I'm thinking in particular (by reading the wiki): * what is uwsgi_modifier1 14 directive used for? * uwsgi_pass directive: is TCP socket required by OC or can we replace it by a unix socket (like it seems to be by default in uwsgi doc [2])? * how do you start the uwsgi process (the wiki mentions a systemd unit file and Emperor but doesn't explain the need for those...)?

[arch-general] Why not mksh provides("ksh")?

Not sure if this is the correct venue for this comment, and apologies if it's already been mentioned, but why wouldn't mksh [1] provide ksh? This would alleviate some AUR dependency weirdness, specifically with the oracle-sqldeveloper [2] package, which currently forces an install of ksh [3], even though it'll work just fine with mksh. -rb [1] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/mksh/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/oracle-sqldeveloper/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ksh/

[arch-general] makepkg breaks the build when building binaries manually doesn't

I am trying to build/install libguestfs [1] from git. There is already am AUR package [2] but not the git version If I manually $ gitclone gitUrl $ cd libguestfs $ ./autogen.sh $ ./configure --someOptions the build goes until the end and leaves me with binaries. --------------------------------- Now I want to install it properly on my machine with a PKBUILD and wrote one. When running $ makepkg I have this structure which sounds correct: libguestfs-git/pkg/ libguestfs-git/src/AllNeededDir_cloned_here but at one time the build breaks with these errors: ----------------------------- ../src/.libs/libutils.a( libutils_la-cleanup.o): In function `guestfs___cleanup_xmlBufferFree': cleanup.c:(.text+0x79): undefined reference to `xmlBufferFree' ../src/.libs/libutils.a(libutils_la-cleanup.o): In function `guestfs___cleanup_xmlFreeDoc': cleanup.c:(.text+0x99): undefined reference to `xmlFreeDoc' ../src/.libs/libutils.a(libutils_la-cleanup.o): In function `guestfs___cleanup_xmlFreeURI': cleanup.c:(.text+0xb9): undefined reference to `xmlFreeURI' ../src/.libs/libutils.a(libutils_la-cleanup.o): In function `guestfs___cleanup_xmlFreeTextWriter': cleanup.c:(.text+0xd9): undefined reference to `xmlFreeTextWriter' ../src/.libs/libutils.a(libutils_la-cleanup.o): In function `guestfs___cleanup_xmlXPathFreeContext': cleanup.c:(.text+0xf9): undefined reference to `xmlXPathFreeContext' ../src/.libs/libutils.a(libutils_la-cleanup.o): In function `guestfs___cleanup_xmlXPathFreeObject': cleanup.c:(.text+0x119): undefined reference to `xmlXPathFreeObject' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Makefile:1598: recipe for target 'virt-p2v' failed ------------------------------------- The build part of PKGBUILD: build(){ cd "$srcdir/libguestfs" ./autogen.sh ./configure --someOptions make } I can't figure out why the binaries build manually and not using makepkg.

[arch-general] Manual for Samsung Chromebook Needed

To do this it would be useful to have the user manual; unfortunately Samsung no longer provides it, though the Maintenance manual is available. See: http://www.samsungparts.com/PartsList.aspx?Catalog=Parts_and_Accessories&Pa… Can anyone tell me how to get a copy? BTW: Caveat Emptor! Never buy anything till you are sure you can get a copy of the manual. I never dreamed that this situation would arise. Thanks in advance - jon

[arch-general] Mailing list posting style (was: [aur-general] Compiz package naming)
by Florian Pritz 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

Hi, Disclaimer: I'm trying to write this as friendly as possible, but I want to get the point across so please excuse slightly harsh wording and the length of the mail. Please understand that this mail is directed to all list members, not only those who participated in the thread on aur-general. It happens every now and then, but this thread is probably one of the worse ones. I know it's sometimes easy to forget, but a 16 level deep quote with 420+ lines of quoted content and about 6 lines of original content is not, by any stretch of imagination, okay. Please do not quote the entire thread in every reply and do not reply above the quote(s). A general rule of thumb is to quote only what's necessary to understand the reply. If you need context, please use bottom-posting or IMHO better yet interleaved quoting[1] (I also suggest to read the entire page) and limit your quote to as few lines as possible/necessary. Also feel free to summarise the original mails or write your reply in such a way that it can be understood without context which means that you can omit the quote entirely. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Interleaved_style Please also be aware that some mail clients will add line breaks after 80 characters and original text is normally wrapped after ~72 which means you get about 4 levels of quoting until text starts wrapping which makes it very hard to read. Generally, if your reply is shorter than the quoted message you might do something wrong. If you quote the entire message you likely do something wrong. If you quote the entire thread for 16 levels you *really* do something very wrong, no exception here, sorry. Also if you need any proof try to read this message[2] without reading the original messages directly (only read the quotes in the linked message). Note that the start of the thread is somewhere in the middle (you can search for "Hello AUR general & Compiz package maintainers") thanks to top/bottom/interleaved quoting styles being mixed. [2] https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2014-August/029292.html I'm also sending this to arch-general as a reminder because I've seen a few topposters/fullquoters there as well. Let's please all work together here so something like this doesn't happen again. If you see this happening in a thread that you participate in, please speak up (early) and make sure your own reply breaks the chain. Thanks for your consideration, Florian

[arch-general] owncloud: incorrect dependencies in PKGBUILD
by Neitsab 30 Jul '14

30 Jul '14

Hi everybody, Today I was looking at the installation of ownCloud on my home Arch server, and I noticed one of the optional dependencies returned by pacman (php-imagick) couldn't be found in the official repos. Turns out it's in the AUR [1]. Arch packages' owncloud webpage mentions "(virtual)" next to php-imagick and has no hyperlink [2]. Is that expected? Also, after looking at the latest ownCloud official admin manual prerequisites section [3] it seems package dependencies should be overhauled: * php-intl should be moved to optdepends array; * smbclient should be removed from optdepends (required only for specific apps, otherwise php-ldap from [extra] should be added too); * php-apcu and php-xcache should be added to optdepends; * quite probably php-fpm should be included too since it is mentioned in the given example nginx config [4]; * and of course, php-imagick should be removed from optdepends if it isn't expected that AUR packages are mentioned in official repos PKGBUILDs. I had a go at an amended PKGBUILD, please find it below. Tell me if this is better suited as a bug report.

[arch-general] Ncurses over ssh
by luc.linux＠mailoo.org 30 Jul '14

Hello everyone. I am using newsbeuter to handle my rss feeds, and, to be able to use it from all my computers, I set it up on a server with ssh enabled. When I log in this server with ssh, then launch newsbeuter, everything works fine. But when I invoke it that way : `ssh [ip] newsbeuter`, newsbeuter fails with 'Error opening terminal : unknown'. When I explicitly export $TERM[1], newsbeuter is able to launch, but it doesn't detect the terminal size and can't handle keys. So I'll be glad if you know how to fix that matter. Thanks in advance. In a totally unrelated matter, do you know how to make a remote program launch local scripts through ssh ? [1] : The command used is : `ssh [ip] 'export TERM=rxvt-unicode-256color && newsbeuter'`

Hi, As I was checking some stuff about environment variables, I noticed that I have one file in /etc/profile.d which doesn't have the same perms as the others: $ ls -la /etc/profile.d/ total 72 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 19 juil. 20:36 . drwxr-xr-x 91 root root 4096 22 juil. 15:04 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 102 24 oct. 2013 gpm.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2154 21 mars 02:16 infinality-settings.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1972 7 janv. 2014 infinality-settings.sh.old -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 140 28 mars 15:29 jre.csh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 152 28 mars 15:29 jre.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 156 15 mars 22:09 libreoffice-common.csh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 156 15 mars 22:09 libreoffice-common.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1052 4 juil. 14:44 locale.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 50 1 juil. 11:55 mozilla-common.csh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 50 1 juil. 11:55 mozilla-common.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 699 19 juin 21:08 perlbin.csh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 668 19 juin 21:08 perlbin.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 115 13 mai 23:37 seahorse-ssh-askpass.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 36 20 janv. 2014 vdpau_vaapi.sh -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1881 23 juin 22:05 vte.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 115 11 juin 2013 x11-ssh-askpass.sh $ pacman -Qo /etc/profile.d/vte.sh /etc/profile.d/vte.sh belongs to vte3 0.36.3-1 I verified it wasn't some bad commands on my side which changed this file's perms by reinstalling it together with vte-common, however the file remains 644. Does anybody have any hints about why this file, which is a .sh script, doesn't have execute permissions like the others in /etc/profile.d folder? I didn't find any change in latest PKGBUILDs which would cause such permissions, so should I suppose it is an upstream decision? Regards

[arch-general] [draft] xorg-server 1.16 is now available
by Karol Blazewicz 27 Jul '14

27 Jul '14

I can start only one rootless X session at a time. If I want to start a second one while the first one is running, I have to use 'sudo startx'. I'm logging into tty and starting X as a user. Did I mis-configure something or is it a "feature'? Can you start multiple X sessions simultaneously with xorg 1.16?

[arch-general] NetworkManager attribute but doesn't use ipv6

Hi I have a problem with nm : it seems to get an ipv6 address from dhcp, but it doesn't use it. ip addr inet 192.168.0.5/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global wifi valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 *:*:*:*:*:*:8f3e:7de1/64 scope global noprefixroute dynamic valid_lft 86334sec preferred_lft 86334sec ip -6 route *:*:*:*::/64 dev wifi proto kernel metric 303 mtu 1480 fe80::/64 dev wifi proto kernel metric 256 (I replaced my ipv6 by * for privacy) Web sites like http://whatismyipv6.com/ say that I don't have an ipv6. I searched on the web, but nothing concluant. Any idea ?

Note that this update is not seemless because it breaks virtual machines with vesa (no KMS, so can not access /dev/mem). The documentation says that Xorg will autodetect whether or not to drop root privs, but it doesn't. Forcing X to run as root via Xwrapper.config does help, but neither this file nor /etc/X11/X11 are part of the package. Is it possible to at least have the latter directory in xorg-server? Otherwise, great news! Thanks, -- Leonid Isaev GPG fingerprints: DA92 034D B4A8 EC51 7EA6 20DF 9291 EE8A 043C B8C4 C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D

[arch-general] community/mythtv out of date & unmaintained

Hello, I'm a mythtv user and I flagged this package since months. What's up with mythtv packages ? I've updated PKGBUILD for myself to the latest version. If nobody wants to maintain them, then I could maintain the mythtv & mythplugins packages in AUR.

[arch-general] Migrating from 64 to 32 bit
by Friedrich Strohmaier 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

Hi folks, starting to do migration from 64 to 32 bit as announced within the other thread. :o)) I choose the Live-CD method following this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Migrating_Between_Architectures_Withou… changed the script mensioned there this way: ===================== #!/bin/bash MOUNTED_INSTALL='/mnt' TEMP_FILE='/tmp/packages.list' ARCH='i686' # added this and used --arch $ARCH pacman --root $MOUNTED_INSTALL -Sy pacman --root $MOUNTED_INSTALL --cachedir $MOUNTED_INSTALL/var/cache/pacman/pkg --arch $ARCH --noconfirm -S base base-devel # -Sg only *listing* the groups #not reached here yet pacman --root $MOUNTED_INSTALL -Qq > $TEMP_FILE for PKG in $(cat $TEMP_FILE) ; do pacman --root $MOUNTED_INSTALL --cachedir $MOUNTED_INSTALL/var/cache/pacman/pkg --noconfirm -S $PKG done exit 0 ================= As I'm a courious guy I run the lines one by one on the shell watching the results :o)) running the second line, 32-bit live arch's pacman refuses to install 32-bit packages and instead complains (example): :: package pkg-config-0.28-2-x86_64 does not have a valid architecture this is basically true, but not very helpful because I requested it to install 32-bit packages which in this case should be pkg-config-0.28-2-i686, if I got it right. Changing neither /etc/pacman.conf's Architecture = i686 nor the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist entries accordingly are of any help. Does anyone have an idea, what's missing? -- Friedrich

[arch-general] Please move evieext and printproto from [extra] to [null]
by Daniel Martin 19 Jul '14

19 Jul '14

Hi folks, In [extra] we've printproto, evieext and their libraries (libxp and libxevie), which are of no use. Because, both extensions have been droped from xorg-server 5 years ago: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=f4036f6 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=1c8bd31 The first version of xorg-server without those extensions was 1.6.0, which was added in March 2009: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=package… Removing evieext and libxevie should be straight forward, as they aren't required by anything else. For libxp it looks a bit different: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libxp/ I hope that all required-by's have a switch to disable the dependency to libxp. I've checked at least openmotif: its configure knows a --disable-printing option. (While looking at openmotif [community], I've noticed that it isn't required by anyone. Isn't that a candidate to be moved to AUR?) Then we've libxcb, here xevie and xprint have to be disabled explicitly as they're enabled by default. It's not a bug to keep the packages and they don't eat much space on the harddisk. So, I don't have any better argument then saying: they don't serve any purpose. But, for quite some time I wanted to point at them. So, is it in your interest to get rid of them? Would you like to do it? Thanks for your patience and thanks for Arch, Daniel Martin

[arch-general] EFI-GPT : GRUB won't load

18 Jul '14

Hello, I'm trying to dual boot Arch with Windows 8.1 on an HP Pavilion 15-n216sf with Windows 8.1 pre-installed. I have followed https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub I copied the ARCH install ISO to a USB stick with dd and installed ARCH in the usual way. Here is the disk layout from cgdisk : Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name 1 2048 821247 400.0 MiB 2700 Basic data partition 2 821248 1353727 260.0 MiB EF00 EFI system partition 3 1353728 1615871 128.0 MiB 0C01 Microsoft reserved ... 4 1615872 167604223 79.1 GiB 0700 Basic data partition 5 1425895424 1465147391 18.7 GiB 0700 Basic data partition 6 167604224 209547263 20.0 GiB 8300 ARCH_ROOT 7 209547264 251490303 20.0 GiB 8300 AUTRE_ROOT 8 251490304 259878911 4.0 GiB 8200 SWAP 9 259878912 1425895423 556.0 GiB 8300 HOME ARCH is installed in /dev/sda6. /dev/sda4 is where Windows lives, /dev/sda5 is the recovery partition. In arch-chroot, I mounted the ESP /dev/sda2 in /boot/efi and ran grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=grub --recheck --debug with no errors. Then I ran grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg On boot, GRUB is not loaded at all, the laptop boots on Windows 8.1. After pressing F9 fo the boot options menu, there is one entry starting with grub, selecting this entry keeps booting Windows. There is a grubx64.efi file in /boot/efi/grub. I have copied /etc/grub.d/40_custom from the section https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub#Dual-booting with the relevant UUID changed to be that of /dev/sda2 (ESP). So I can't find a way to dual boot with ARCH and I'm stuck with this. I have noted one weird thing with efibootmgr -v from arch-chroot, with fails with an invalid pointer message and lots of backtrace, and the following output : BootCurrent: 0001 Timeout: 2 seconds BootOrder: 0002,0000,3000,2001,2002,2003 Boot0000* Windows Boot Manager HD(2,c8800,82000,dc61d0de-af32-472f-8c54- fdafe931e191)File(\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi)(invalid optional data length) Boot0001* USB Hard Drive (UEFI) - USB DISK 2.0 I am hereby requesting help to solve this issue.
