[arch-general] Event loop problem
by Brian Wood 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

I've been having a problem related to epoll_ctl() lately. I have a 3-tier system: 1. back tier (tcp server) 2. middle tier (udp server) 3. front tier The problem is happening in the back tier. If I kill the middle tier with a control-C and then restart it (before making any requests via the front tier), the socket descriptor (associated with the middle tier) in the back tier is 7. But If I first make some requests via the front tier, then kill the middle tier and restart it, the socket descriptor is 1. When the socket descriptor is 1, I get an EBADF on an epoll_ctl with an op of EPOLL_CTL_MOD. It's not on the first call to epoll_ctl that it fails, but the third call. My debugging shows that the epfd and fd are the same for all three of these calls. I've tried many things to get the back tier to not give me the socket descriptor of 1. I've tried calling daemon(), freopen'ing stdin, stdout, and stderr, and a few other things. I've tried doing these things only in the parent, only in the child and in both. Nothing has worked. Any ideas? Thanks. -- Brian Ebenezer Enterprises http://webEbenezer.net

[arch-general] Change installation from 64-bit to 32-bit
by Friedrich Strohmaier 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

Hi all, I installed 64-bit arch on a low memory laptop (1G) not thinking about the higher memory requirement. Now I wonder, whether I can approach to change it by changing the pacman.conf entry Architecture = auto to Architecture = i686 and reinstall all explicitly installed packages. I feel like it should work. Any "don't do that"s, "go for it"s, "I did it"s out there :o)). -- Friedrich

[arch-general] Dependency Hell
by Chris Tonkinson 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

Hi all, I have ZFS (from AUR) and VirtualBox (from Community) installed. The problem is that these both dependend typically on very specific kernel versions, and usually ("usually" being a subjective and ill-defined term slanted by when and how often I update my system; at least once per day) cause dependency failures which prevent *ANY* upgrades from being processed. As such, my /etc/pacman.conf contains an ignore declaration: IgnorePkg = linux zfs-git spl-git virtualbox virtualbox-host-dkms virtualbox-host-modules So once in a while, I'll comment out my IgnorePkg and attempt a system update and expect it to fail because getting the kernel, ZFS, and VirtualBox all to line up at the same time feels like, to quote Scotty, "trying to hit a bullet with a smaller bullet, whilst wearing a blindfold, riding a horse." Is there any graceful solution here? Clearly the three won't (can't) ALL be bleeding edge simultaneously, but is there a sane workaround to keep them as-current-as-possible without pacman barfing on everything else. It's not immediately obvious to me how to combine IgnorePkg, HoldPkg, and NoUpgrade to achieve the desired result.

Do I have a corrupted pacman DB now? What would be the steps for diagnosis and repair? -- cheers, Thorsten

Hi, I'm really interested in Pypy and starting to use it daily but I mainly prefer the use of Python 3 in general. With the announcement of the first stable release of Pypy3, I would like to know what do people think of switching: pypy -> pypy2 pypy3 -> pypy Like that, it would be in sync with the name change of Cpython.

[arch-general] Gummiboot and EFISTUB booting irregularities
by Murari 11 Jul '14

11 Jul '14

Hi all, I couldn't find a better way of phrasing this as I'm not quite sure what the problem is or how to debug this. I have Arch with the 3.15.1-1 kernel installed on an HP laptop (intel motherboard), booting using gummiboot and the EFISTUB loader. When I start my laptop (or restart it) and select the Arch Linux entry in the gummiboot menu, I sometimes only see a blank screen instead of any error messages or any of the usual boot text. Ctrl+Alt+Del reboots my laptop. Seemingly at random, if I try again at this point, Arch sometimes boots and sometimes doesn't. Journalctl does not list any entries at all for the failed boot attempts. Can anyone suggest any ways of debugging/solving this? Thanks!

[arch-general] misconfigured systemd dependencies
by Chris Tonkinson 09 Jul '14

09 Jul '14

Hello, I have a LUKS drive (called "locker-1"), which is necessary to be properly mounted before ZFS can import my pool on boot. I believe systemd needs to be explicitly configured to mount dm-crypt devices before doing anything ZFS-related, but I'm relatively new to working with systemd so I'm stuck on the implementation. I believe the following is revelant configuration information: ~ $ systemctl list-units | grep "crypt\|zfs" systemd-cryptsetup(a)locker\x2d1.service loaded active exited ... zfs-import-cache.service loaded active exited ... zfs-mount.service loaded active exited ... zfs-share.service loaded active exited ... system-systemd\x2dcryptsetup.slice loaded active active ... cryptsetup.target loaded active active ... zfs.target loaded active active ... ~ $ find /usr/lib/systemd/ -name *crypt* /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-cryptsetup-generator /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-cryptsetup /usr/lib/systemd/system/cryptsetup.target /usr/lib/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/cryptsetup.target ~ $ find /usr/lib/systemd/ -name *zfs* /usr/lib/systemd/system-preset/50-zfs.preset /usr/lib/systemd/system/zfs.target /usr/lib/systemd/system/zfs-share.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/zfs-import-cache.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/zfs-import-scan.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/zfs-mount.service Based on my limited understanding of systemd dependency resolution from [1], I created a custom file to force ZFS to depend on my LUKS device: ~ $ cat /etc/systemd/system/zfs-import-cache.service.d/luks.conf [Unit] Requires=systemd-cryptsetup(a)locker\x2d1.service After=systemd-cryptsetup(a)locker\x2d1.service I rebooted and no joy, though `systemd-delta` does see the override: ~ $ systemd-delta [EXTENDED] /run/systemd/system/session-c2.scope → /run/systemd/system/session-c2.scope.d/90-SendSIGHUP.conf [EXTENDED] /run/systemd/system/session-c2.scope → /run/systemd/system/session-c2.scope.d/90-After-systemd-user-sessions\x2eservic [EXTENDED] /run/systemd/system/session-c2.scope → /run/systemd/system/session-c2.scope.d/90-After-systemd-logind\x2eservice.conf [EXTENDED] /run/systemd/system/session-c2.scope → /run/systemd/system/session-c2.scope.d/90-Description.conf [EXTENDED] /run/systemd/system/session-c2.scope → /run/systemd/system/session-c2.scope.d/90-Slice.conf [EXTENDED] /usr/lib/systemd/system/zfs-import-cache.service → /etc/systemd/system/zfs-import-cache.service.d/luks.conf Looking back, I notice that ZFS has definitions for both importing via cache or scan, so I duplicated this override for `zfs-import-scan.service` and get the same result. Oddly (to me), the boot log shows ZFS inner workings, but nothing about dm-crypt: ~ $ journalctl -b | grep 'zed\[' Jul 09 05:20:03 vigilance.thetonk.net zed[720]: ZFS Event Daemon 0.6.3-1 Jul 09 05:20:03 vigilance.thetonk.net zed[720]: Processing events since eid=0 Jul 09 05:20:03 vigilance.thetonk.net zed[720]: Invoking "all-syslog.sh" eid=1 pid=726 Jul 09 05:20:03 vigilance.thetonk.net zed[727]: eid=1 class=statechange Jul 09 05:20:03 vigilance.thetonk.net zed[720]: Finished "all-syslog.sh" eid=1 pid=726 exit=0 Jul 09 05:20:03 vigilance.thetonk.net zed[720]: Invoking "all-syslog.sh" eid=2 pid=729 ... ~ $ journalctl -b | grep 'crypt' ~ $ Any advice would be greatly appreciated. For what it's worth, this is just the first drive of six (I'm in the process of encrypting my RAID-Z2 pool in-place) so the DRYest-configuration solution is optimal but at this point I'll take what I can get. [1]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd#Editing_provided_unit_files Cheers, -Chris PS: The only thing that sticks out at me visually at this point is that "\x2d" in places; is the inclusion of a hyphen in my LUKS device name causing problems? It seems like systemd sometimes? does magic with hyphens and paths, which is why I assume it's being encoded but I figure I would ask. -- Chris Tonkinson 610.425.7807 "Lead, follow, or get out of the way." -Thomas Paine

Because, while we're at it... I'm not very proud to add, don't use sudo while moving around /etc/group. I'm currently travelling and more or less only have this machine to work with.

[arch-general] Can't SSH into Arch VM until login screen is viewed
by Ben Booth 07 Jul '14

07 Jul '14

I have a weird issue I’m trying to figure out with Arch and SystemD, and I wonder if anyone here has run into this issue: I’m running ArchLinux as a Xen VM. Every time I reboot the system, I can no longer ping it or access it via SSH. However, if I go into the XenCenter UI and click the “Console” tab to view the VM’s login screen, all of a sudden SSH and ping works again. It’s as if systemd is waiting for the login screen to be viewed before it allows SSH to work. Is this some kind of systemd socket-activated functionality related to the getty service? How can I prevent this so that I can log in via SSH after reboot without having to run the XenCenter UI? Thanks, Ben Booth

[arch-general] odd problem with NetworkManager and wired
by Genes Lists 06 Jul '14

06 Jul '14

Haven't plugged an ethernet cable into my laptop for a while - today I did. Wirelss has been working flawlessly. Plugging a wire in however refuses to connect - the error in journal is: .. dhclient[30318]: execve (/usr/lib/networkmanager/nm-dhcp-client.action, ...): No such file or directory Which is correct. In fact the only script in there with dhcp is nm-dhcp-helper. When connected via wifi and checking to see what is running this script is used: ps -eaf | egrep dhcp root 605 555 0 18:53 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dhclient -d -sf /usr/lib/networkmanager/nm-dhcp-helper -pf /var/run/dhclient-wlp3s0.pid -lf /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-226bfd76-9c49-43fd-8dff-bf6e0809313c-wlp3s0.lease -cf /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-wlp3s0.conf wlp3s0 So the problem seems to only happen for the wired interface. I -know- this used to work fine, but unfortunately I have no idea when it stopped. Any suggestions how to get wired working again? I tried on 2 different laptops - same problem. Thanks for any advice. gene

[arch-general] Kernel: include patch for b43?

Hello. As of Kernel 3.15 a long standing bug in b43 affecting the way it handles rather recent firmware started to become manifest in failure of the driver, see e. g. [0,1]. A patch is available [2] but hasn't made it into 3.15.2. A version of package linux I recompiled applying the patch works flawlessly, imho other workarounds like sticking with 3.14 or using older firmware are less reasonable. So I'd like to ask whether there are any chances to get this patch into the linux package. Attaching a file that can be used in prepare() the usual way (patch -p1 -i "${srcdir}/...").

It is a bug or something? best regeards, --- Eduardo M. Machado

[arch-general] Docked Lenovo T540p Not Recognizing Dual Monitors
by Jude Lucien 28 Jun '14

28 Jun '14

I unfortunately have a Lenovo T540p laptop and an UltraDock docking station. Plugged into the docking station is a Lenovo monitor via DVI and an Ilyama monitor via VGA. The monitors are not recognised by xrandr as being separate monitors, and the output mirrors each other. The output of xrandr -q: $ xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 4560 x 1620, maximum 32767 x 32767 eDP1 connected 2880x1620+1680+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 193mm 2880x1620 59.96*+ 50.00 2048x1536 60.00 1920x1440 60.00 1856x1392 60.01 1792x1344 60.01 1600x1200 60.00 1400x1050 59.98 1280x1024 60.02 1280x960 60.00 1024x768 60.00 800x600 60.32 56.25 640x480 59.94 VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP2 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 255mm x 255mm 1680x1050 60.00*+ 1024x768 60.00 800x600 60.32 56.25 848x480 60.00 640x480 59.94 HDMI2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) eDP1 is my laptop monitor and DP2 is the Lenovo monitor.

[arch-general] New mailing list for AUR requests (delete, merge, orphan, ..)
by Florian Pritz 26 Jun '14

26 Jun '14

Hi, As requested by Lukas, I've created a new mailing list for AUR related requests such as deletion, merge or orphan requests. The AUR will soon feature a web interface to create such requests and for history and discussion purposes mails will be sent to this new list. Please start using it for new requests already (maybe wait a couple hours so TUs can subscribe). Discussion about anything apart from such requests should stay on aur-general. You can subscribe here[1]. [1]: https://mailman.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/aur-requests I expect traffic on aur-general to go down quite a lot due to this change, so if you aren't subscribed because of this request traffic feel free to give it another try now.

[arch-general] Module needed by a unit
by Yamakaky 25 Jun '14

25 Jun '14

Hi I'm trying to improve the unit for a fan manager daemon for MacBook Pro. As it is, it's a dependency of multi-user.target. I would like it to start earlier in the boot process, so that he is available with rescue.target, and to refresh the computer during bootup. I tried with DefaultDependencies=false and WantedBy=sysinit.target. The first time it is launched, he failed because the coretemp module isn't loaded. It's then restarted and all is OK, so I think the module is loaded between the two start. I would like it to start succesfully the first time. Do you know how to fix this problem ? I thought about modules-load.d, but a dependency would be better. Thanks [1] https://github.com/dgraziotin/Fan-Control-Daemon/issues/40

[arch-general] Setup of HiDPI with awesome wm
by tlux 23 Jun '14

23 Jun '14

Hi all, It's the first time I am requesting help through this distribution list. So excuse me if I am in the wrong place. So, here is my point: I have a lenovo T540p with a 3K screen display and, as one could image, I have very small fonts and icons which are barelly visible at normal distance from the screen. I've manage to increase fonts size in my configurations files. However, from time to time I need to connect to a 19" monitor(1280x1024) and the result is terrible (to say the least). Is there someone who is in the same situation? and what is your workaround? Please note that I am using Awesome WM and thus cannot use the scaling factor(Gnome 3) as described here:https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HiDPI One option I thought of would be to create an udev rule that would detect the monitor's connection and trigger a script that would make all the necessary connfiguration changes. What do you guys think? Thanks!

[arch-general] LibreOffice changes: dependencies, 'Fresh' branch & misguiding package names
by Neitsab 22 Jun '14

22 Jun '14

Hi everybody, During a recent system upgrade I noticed I had a couple of new orphaned packages, among which libcdr, libetonyek, libmspub, libodfgen, libvisio and libwps. A quick investigation directed me to the libreoffice-common package, which has ceased relying upon them in its 4.2.4-2 version. PKGBUILD's message is "use internal file format libs because new library releases from system that depend on librenvenge are not supported by this LibO stable branch" [1]. Looking for packages that may depend on the orphaned libs made me discover libreoffice-fresh, the "LibreOffice branch which contains new features and program enhancements" [2]. LO-fresh does depend on those newly orphaned libs. Now this left me wondering: should I switch to using the new "libreoffice-fresh", or stick to the installed libreoffice-common? What confuses me is that it seems current Arch-provided libreoffice-common is already built from upstream "Fresh" branch, as package version 4.2.5 matches the one announced upstream (release announcement [3] and current Arch PKGBUILD for libreoffice-common [4]), and PKGBUILD source URL concurs. It appears "libreoffice-fresh" is actually a prerelease version for the next minor version release, 4.3 ([5]). So, AFAICT, currently Arch repos provide two versions of LibreOffice both built from the "Fresh" upstream branch: one is the stable version ("libreoffice-common" --> v. 4.2.5-1), the other is a prerelease version ("libreoffice-fresh" --> v. 4.3.0-0.9). However, the first one doesn't depend on formerly needed libs that add import functionalities while the second one does. So right now at least package names are a bit confusing (e.g. should be "libreoffice-fresh" and "libreoffice-fresh-prerelease"), and there is no version built from the "Stable" branch (v. 4.1.6). Could somebody shed some light about this situation, and is some kind of announcement planned so that users do not suddenly realize they switched software branch? I couldn't find any info in May/June arch-general and arch-dev-public archives.

[arch-general] How do you configure the new i2c_hid touchpad driver?
by Delcypher 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

Hi, I just upgraded to the 3.15.1-1 kernel and I'm having issues with my touchpad. In 3.14 I had blacklisted the i2c_hid module so that I could use the old synaptics touchpad driver but seemed to break in 3.15 so I unblacklisted the module so now I'm using i2c_hid instead. The trouble is that the touchpad is not configured correctly with this driver (scrolling does not work at all) and I don't know how to configure it. With the old driver I used the synclient tool and also set options in /etc/X11/xorg.d/50-synaptics.conf This doesn't work with the new driver. I see the following in /var/log/Xorg.0.log ``` [ 9.726] (II) config/udev: Adding input device DLL060A:00 06CB:2734 (/dev/input/event8) [ 9.726] (**) DLL060A:00 06CB:2734: Applying InputClass "evdev pointer catchall" [ 9.726] (II) Using input driver 'evdev' for 'DLL060A:00 06CB:2734' [ 9.726] (**) DLL060A:00 06CB:2734: always reports core events [ 9.726] (**) evdev: DLL060A:00 06CB:2734: Device: "/dev/input/event8" [ 9.757] (--) evdev: DLL060A:00 06CB:2734: Vendor 0x6cb Product 0x2734 [ 9.757] (--) evdev: DLL060A:00 06CB:2734: Found 3 mouse buttons [ 9.757] (--) evdev: DLL060A:00 06CB:2734: Found relative axes [ 9.757] (--) evdev: DLL060A:00 06CB:2734: Found x and y relative axes [ 9.757] (II) evdev: DLL060A:00 06CB:2734: Configuring as mouse [ 9.757] (**) evdev: DLL060A:00 06CB:2734: YAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5 [ 9.757] (**) evdev: DLL060A:00 06CB:2734: EmulateWheelButton: 4, EmulateWheelInertia: 10, EmulateWheelTimeout: 200 [ 9.757] (**) Option "config_info" "udev:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/INT33C3:00/i2c-0/i2c-DLL060A:00/0018:06CB:2734.0002/input/input11/event8" [ 9.757] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "DLL060A:00 06CB:2734" (type: MOUSE, id 11) [ 9.757] (II) evdev: DLL060A:00 06CB:2734: initialized for relative axes.

I took a look at its man page for evdev and there's no mention of two-finger scrolling which is what I want (worked fine in the old driver). Does anyone know how to configure the new driver? Cheers, Dan.

Hopefully this is the correct place to report this. I wanted to build community/gmsartcontrol from source, so got the PKGBUILD via abs.

[arch-general] Apache (Roundcube) and /tmp

Hi, I tried to install roundcube (in community/), but it fails when it tries to check if he can write in his temp dir, which is a symlink that points to /tmp/roundcube and is rwx for http (and group http too).

[arch-general] Changing sizes of panes in a vimsplit resets scrolling
by Kyle Terrien 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

Hello Archers, Has anyone else been experiencing an issue where scrolling is reset when changing the size of window splits in Vim? 1. Open a file in Vim that is sufficiently long enough that you need to scroll to view the whole buffer. 2. Scroll to somewhere in the middle of the buffer. 3. Use :split to open another file. You should have two windows open (2nd file on the top pane, and 1st file scrolled to somewhere in the middle on the bottom pane). 4. Use ^W- and/or ^W+ to adjust the relative sizes of the panes. The pane that is unfocused scrolls to the top of the buffer. The quick fix is to toggle focus between the panes, which will cause the scrolling position to reset to normal. I have narrowed this down to gvim/vim-runtime 7.4.307-1 and later. Earlier versions of the package do not have this issue. I am asking here because I am unsure if the issue is package related or upstream. --Kyle

16 Jun '14

Hello every one, I use notmuch to handle my mails, but I recently discovered that the man pages aren't present in the notmuch package and there isn't any notmuch-man package. Is that a decision or should I report a bug ? Eventually should I make a notmuch-man package on the AUR ?

[arch-general] *-git packages last update
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

Hi all, For several resaons, I use a few *-git packages from AUR. I noticed one thing: the last update date is often far behind (i.e. 2012,...) I just would like to ensure it's just the package last update date, and it has no realtion with the git tree freshness: git always checks out "master". I'm right?

[arch-general] Question on version numbers
by Stefan Tatschner 15 Jun '14

15 Jun '14

Hi, just because I'm inquisitive. What's the purpose of version numbers with a colon? I've seen this in several packages, e.g. this one [1]. Upstream version number is 5.0.2 and arch version number is 1:5.0.2. Regards, Stefan [1]: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/python-setuptools/

[arch-general] Network configuration
by Yamakaky 14 Jun '14

14 Jun '14

Hi all I write you this mail because I'm a bit lost between all these network configuration tools available : - systemd-networkd - dhcpcd service - netctl - wpa_supplicant - NetworkManager/wicd There is two profiles I use now : a laptop (wifi auto-discover and connect with gui tray and easy to add network, ethernet auto-connect) and a raspberry py server (low ressources, ethernet only, dhcp configured, config not often changed). Actually, I use nm on my laptop (it's much much better than wicd) and dhcpcd on my raspberry pi. What would you use and why ? Additional question : it seems systemd-timesyncd requires systemd-networkd, is it true ? Thanks Yamakaky

[arch-general] Bring back the old X11 values
by Dimitris Zervas 14 Jun '14

14 Jun '14

In the latest Xorg updates, there is a major change in the default of mouse mouvment and key repeating speed. How can I change these back? I am really used to the old ones and the new ones just slow down my workflow.

As for the links provided I meant "The links are not help, 'cause I don't know the old values". Sorry for the misunderstanding. The mouse is too slow (and sometimes, WAY too slow, if I make a small movement). The key repeat is also slow. I am asking for the old values of the mouse sensitivity/acceleration/etc and key repeat. Just how they were before the update. I am not "imagining" (I thought of it too in the first place), because I get frustrated times that I really am focused on other things (ex. when copy/pasting code from one monitor to another) Thank you.

[arch-general] Restart systemd related services on update
by Christian Hesse 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

Hello everybody, on systemd package update systemd.install is run, which calls 'systemctl --system daemon-reexec'. This replaces pid 1 with a new process of updated systemd. However systemd comes with a lot of helper daemons (systemd-udevd, systemd-journald, systemd-logind, ...). These are not restarted. For systemd-213-9 systemd-udevd has a device-mapper fix that takes place only if system is rebooted or 'systemd restart systemd-udevd' is run manually. Any reason this is not done automatically? -- main(a){char*c=/* Schoene Gruesse */"B?IJj;MEH" "CX:;",b;for(a/* Chris get my mail address: */=0;b=c[a++];) putchar(b-1/(/* gcc -o sig sig.c && ./sig */b/42*2-3)*42);}

[arch-general] Odd Problem After Install
by Hunter Jozwiak 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

Hi all. After installing Arch and getting everything all nice and setup, I've hit a bit of an issue. When I boot in to the system, I get this: Arch: clean, 210545/15269888 files, 2401901/61048873 blocks. This number is permanent, and won't move. It may be an issue after installation of Gnome. I can't change TTY's, either. How do I get rid of this issue?

Hello, Since about three weeks ago after an update, I have no longer been able to print using CUPS. When I send a job to the print queue, it generates this message: stopped *"The PPD version (5.2.9) is not compatible with Gutenprint 5.2.10."* I was unable to find anything helpful through the search engines.

[arch-general] Starting gpg-agent from systemd?
by Magnus Therning 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

For the first time ever today, I noticed this little gem of a message from gpg: ~~~~ gpg: WARNING: The GNOME keyring manager hijacked the GnuPG agent. gpg: WARNING: GnuPG will not work proberly - please configure that tool to not interfere with the GnuPG system! ~~~~ So I started looking into some nice way of switching to gpg-agent, but how to start it in a nice way when using Gnome? The instructions at [^1] are for the shell and for using ~/.xinitrc to start X. So neither is very well suited for me as I'm letting GDM log me in to Gnome without use of ~/.xinitrc and the agent has to be available also to apps started via Gnome Shell. I have a feeling this ought to be solvable using systemd but I can't really see how. Writing a service for gpg-agent is not that difficult, and it creates the required environment file without problems. But, how do I hook it in to the user login in the right way? Who should be wanting my gpg-agent.service, and then load the generated file using EnvironmentFile=? All pointers are welcome. /M [^1]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#gpg-agent -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus What gets measured, gets done. -- Tom Peters

[arch-general] [HELP] Upgrading kernel results in unmounted partitions
by Thilina Mallawa Arachchi 08 Jun '14

08 Jun '14

Hi Arch Community, Today I upgraded the kernel from a fresh install of 3.14 to 3.4 via the yaourt install of linux-lts34 from AUR. Booting results logging into the recovery console as root. My / partition is being booted but my /var and /home are not. Very similar to this post https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/40706 and also this discussion on the list https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2014-June/036488.html. The above links refer to using UTC time as a solution. I am using UTC time as per the beginners installation guide for the first fresh install of 3.14 but still run into the issue after the kernel upgrade. Would someone guide me (in detail) for fixing the issue? I need to run the 3.4 kernel for the particular piece of hardware I'm working with. Best, Thilina

[arch-general] How do I _really_ fix the superblock?
by Ralf Mardorf 08 Jun '14

08 Jun '14

Hi, I still need to comment out everything in fstab, excepted of / (it does include home) to boot Arch Linux, so at least I'm able to boot. Anyway, each time I boot, I get a message that the superblock's last write time was in the future, it always gets fixed and than always the / partition is checked. The Arch Linux partition is an ext3 FS, so I run fsck.ext3 -p from a live media and it pretended too, that the issue is fixe, but it isn't. JFTR the hardware clock does work correctly. I suspect it isn't related to the perl pain, that makes a lot of important software from AUR unusable on my machine. Could systemd be the culprit?

[arch-general] misleading pacman errors when upgrade fails

The failure was apparently caused by /usr/local/share/man being a real directory on my system, when the "filesystem" package wants it to be a symlink to "../man". I imagine pacman could check in advance for this sort of extraction problem for all packages before upgrading or installing any packages, which could be part of the existing "checking for file conflicts" phase. Also, the error messages about the transaction being aborted and no packages being upgraded are wrong. The upgrade of "cups-filters" was successful, and "filesystem" appears to have been upgraded too. The only upgrade that was aborted was "e2fsprogs" that pacman hadn't started. Is any of this worth reporting as bugs or enhancements? Carl

[arch-general] spamassassin and perl-net-dns fail to find nameserver
by Florian Pritz 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

Hi, I've worked around the error caused by net-dns being a developer release, but SA still fails to find nameservers so DNSBL checks will not be used. If you have the same problem add 'dns_server 127.0.0.1' or similar to your /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf or better yet figure out why it fails and contact the right people. I currently don't have enough time to take a good look at the issue, but I figured I should probably write this so you can at least properly block spam. Happy mailing and sorry for all the perl breakage. Ideas on how to prevent them (library soname? sadly that seems unsupported by upstream afaict) are very welcome.

[arch-general] 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found
by Dimitris Zervas 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 So, yesterday night, I decided to update my system. I had 4-5 hours to deal with all the nuclear blast that an update of 3 months would cause (the good old arch we all love... I don't know which is worse, rm -rm / or pacman -Syu?). After 10-20 everything was updated and decided to restart. Also, I wanted to change the boot order of my UEFI and boot arch by default instead of win (finals are over). I made the change and saved. The scree was blank for ~10s and I decided to hard reboot. BOOM. The uefi entry was lost. Also, if I launched grub2 as a uefi shell (which I have for times like that) I got "error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found" and grub gives me a rescue terminal. The first problem (uefi entry) is very painful. I have an Asus P9X79 Deluxe. It does NOT support v2 uefi shell (so, no bcfg) and no matter how hard I try to add an entry with efibootmgr, nothing happens (via SysResCD, uefi mode boot with modprobe efivars) The second problem (grub pukes) I have no clue what's going on. I just updated, even tried grub-mkconfig via chroot and nothing changed. I found 2 threads on arch forums which where not helpful at all.

[arch-general] Perl 5.20 in [testing]
by Florian Pritz 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Hi, Perl 5.20, as any other new perl version, requires all modules that are not purely perl code to be rebuilt. We did that for all packages in our repos. For a list of upstream changes please refer to `man perldelta`. Since users probably installed some from AUR or with CPANPLUS::Dist::Arch, I wrote a script[1] that generates a local rebuild list. [1]: https://git.server-speed.net/users/flo/bin/plain/find-broken-perl-packages.… - raw.txt contains a list of files that generated an error - perl-modules.txt contains a list of modules the files belong to - perl-dists.txt contains a list of distributions - pacman.txt contains a list of pacman packages the files belong to Binaries linking with libperl.so will also need to be rebuilt. You can use lddd from devtools to find those. If you get an error that perl-scalar-list-utils can't be found when running -Syu install it with -S perl-scalar-list-utils. Seems to be a bug in pacman. Please report any issue you encounter.

Hi, Last year I had a lot of crashes on my linux box. I experienced hard reset or processes hanged in "D" state forever. It was much more likely to happen when raid0 array was resyncing. Yesterday I finally managed to track this problem and it turned out that it was related to raid10 kernel module. After applying this patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/4/768 My problems are gone. Today I forced array resync, run kernel kompile and two VirtualBox machines with heavy I/O load. On arch linux kernel my machine hanged in 2-3 minutes. Now everything works ok. Regards, Łukasz

[arch-general] Coredumps in zsh

I was trying to debug a program, and whenever I did so, I would get the output: zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) <name-of-program> This is what I was expecting, no problem with that, but I couldn't find the location of the core dump. I searched high and low, and even tried running systemd-coredumpctl but to no avail. However, when I repeated this on bash, I got: segmentation fault (core dumped) and I got the coredump on systemd-coredumpctl. Is there any particular reason why this might be happening? I don't want to change shells only when I'm debugging. -- Savyasachee Jha *"Aerodynamics is for people whodon't know how to build engines."*

[arch-general] evolution-ews, does it work?
by Magnus Therning 04 Jun '14

04 Jun '14

I'm seeing strange behaviour in evolution when adding an EWS account, so I'm wondering if others are having problems with it, or if the blame falls squarely on the exchange server I'm trying to connect to. My system is up-to-date: % pacman -Q|grep evolution evolution 3.12.2-1 evolution-data-server 3.12.2-1 evolution-ews 3.12.2-1 I can, seemingly successfully, configure an EWS account.

[arch-general] split packages: basic assumptions about $pkgname in prepare() and build()
by Martti Kühne 04 Jun '14

04 Jun '14

guys so, this morning I made the mistake to try building a random split package PKGBUILD from ABS with the --pkg flag. ==> Starting prepare()... /home/martti/abs/systemd/PKGBUILD: line 33: cd: libsystemd-212: No such file or directory ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare(). Aborting... Wait a minute, really? After building a little tool to find packages that use $pkgname in prepare()/build() despite the fact that $pkgname isn't *necessarily* the right thing to use to build their source paths, I'm revealed 53 of a total of 400 split packages appear to be using that variable in building. Which equates to a good one in every eighth PKGBUILD of the split packages ecosystem. Now, sure, makepkg could mitigate this problem by setting $pkgname to $pkgbase for the execution of prepare() and build(), but this would first have to be instroduced upstream. My findings are listed below. cheers! mar77i /var/abs/core/systemd/PKGBUILD /var/abs/core/util-linux/PKGBUILD /var/abs/testing/pidgin/PKGBUILD /var/abs/testing/systemd/PKGBUILD /var/abs/testing/vim/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/python-prettytable/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/man-pages-zh/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/luarocks/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/grails/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/python-werkzeug/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/marisa/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/python-flask/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/tesseract/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/protobuf/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/lua-alt-getopt/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/python-urllib3/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/python-mysql-connector/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/jack2/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/python-biopython/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/python-jsonschema/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/python-jsonpointer/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/python-pbr/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/bird/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/xe-guest-utilities/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/python-httplib2/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/rxvt-unicode/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/qstardict/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/notmuch/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/python-sh/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/python-jsonpatch/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community/scala/PKGBUILD /var/abs/community-testing/rxvt-unicode/PKGBUILD /var/abs/extra/hyphen/PKGBUILD /var/abs/extra/pangomm/PKGBUILD /var/abs/extra/hspell/PKGBUILD /var/abs/extra/postfix/PKGBUILD /var/abs/extra/python-virtualenv/PKGBUILD /var/abs/extra/glibmm/PKGBUILD /var/abs/extra/bluez/PKGBUILD /var/abs/extra/oxygen-icons/PKGBUILD /var/abs/extra/lapack/PKGBUILD /var/abs/extra/qemu/PKGBUILD /var/abs/extra/elementary/PKGBUILD /var/abs/extra/efl/PKGBUILD /var/abs/extra/pidgin/PKGBUILD /var/abs/extra/redland/PKGBUILD /var/abs/extra/xsane/PKGBUILD /var/abs/extra/python-pip/PKGBUILD /var/abs/extra/gnome-desktop-sharp/PKGBUILD /var/abs/extra/opencv/PKGBUILD /var/abs/extra/vim/PKGBUILD /var/abs/extra/digikam/PKGBUILD /var/abs/extra/ocaml/PKGBUILD

Hi I just discovered the gcc option march=native. It enables all the local-supported optimizations, without downsides except the non-portability of the binaries. Is there a reason why it isn't enabled by default, as cross platform compilation isn't used by most of the users (I think) ? Yamakaky

[arch-general] [Classroom] new class: A First Look at the Linux Kernel - Saturday, May 31 at 16:00 UTC
by fsckd 02 Jun '14

02 Jun '14

Hello, jy2wong will be teaching a class called, "A First Look at the Linux Kernel". The class will cover the role of kernels in a system, why you might want to consider compiling your own, and tips for not getting lost in the configuration process during your first Linux kernel compile. Prerequisites: While not necessary, it is useful to be familiar with ABS [1] before taking the class. If you are unfamiliar with PKGBUILDs, logs from past classes make an excellent primer. [2] The class will be Saturday, May 31, 2014 at 16:00 UTC in the IRC channel #archlinux-classroom on the Freenode network. If there is enough interest, the class may also be held a second time on that day for people from East Asia and Oceania. If you want the class being held again for those timezones, please reply to this email indicating so. About jy2wong in her own words: I'm a university student from Canada, studying/doing research in something involving signal processing (that lies somewhere between math and computers). I've installed Arch Linux on my laptop about 4 times now, and the first 3 times were in my first week of using Arch Linux (that was about 5 years ago). I've been compiling my own kernel for the last 3 or 4 years. I think I'm allergic to cats.

[arch-general] After gnutls update on 30-05-2014 `M-x gnus' crashes Emacs
by Thorsten Jolitz 31 May '14

31 May '14

Hi List, the gnutls version created at Fr 30 May 2014 15:25:49 makes Gnus unusable for me, since calling `M-x gnus' crashes Emacs with a Segfault (not immediately, but in the process of updating groups). I experience this after updating at 22:42:03 yesterday. Otherwise, Emacs works fine. Since Gnus is such a vital tool, it would be nice if this is addressed soon. Thanks. -- cheers, Thorsten

[arch-general] Recommended reading for Shell expansion mechanism
by Heiko Becker 31 May '14

31 May '14

Hi all, as I'm trying to give shell programming and things like that a start, I have a short question related to the shell expansion: I heard that it is possible to exclude things after using a wildcard like ./* for every file in the current directory. Am I right or did I misunderstand something? Is there some place on the internet where I can find things about expansions and such operations of the shell? Thanks in advance, Heiko

[arch-general] CA certifcates
by Eduardo Machado 30 May '14

30 May '14

Hi, some months ago i needed to setup a Certificate Authority and add it's root certificate to the client machines, so i figured out and added the CA certificate to /usr/share/ca-certificates, edited the /etc/ca-certificates.conf to reflect this and them run "update-ca-certificates --fresh --verbose". this added the CA to the SSL certs and generated the file with all the certificates in /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt So when i used Firefox and Chrome, it reflected this and the server certificate was validated. But... This week, after a system upgrade both Firefox and Chrome, stopped to reflect this, even after i did all the above process again. Firefox and Chrome are not using the ca-certificates package? Is there a way to do what i'm trying to do (a central point to manage certificates for all apps, especially browsers)? And, a last question, is there a way to run a script after a specific package upgrade? Thanks, --- Eduardo M. Machado

[arch-general] libpng warning - qt application
by Guus Snijders 28 May '14

28 May '14

I know this is hardly a new problem, and I know how to fix a 'broken' png file. The problem is finding that file. Here's the case; i recently started using a application ppqt[1], which shows this warning on startup. Displaying PNGs is a major part of this application and that doesn't work atm. To investigate, i did an strace, but that didn't turn out to be very helpful; the only png's mentioned are icons that are /not/ found. Does anybody here have some advice on how to find out which file could be the culprit in this? Or how to troubleshoot better? [1] https://github.com/tallforasmurf/PPQT mvg, Guus

[arch-general] Packaging: difference between "example documentation config" and "default config"
by Jakub Klinkovský 28 May '14

28 May '14

Hi all, there are two kinds of config files shipped with Arch packages: 1) "example documentation config" - by this I mean sample config files, intended for documentation purposes 2) "default config" - by this I mean configs containing sensible default values uncommented to provide basic functionality ootb One of the recognition signs is that in Arch, 2) configs are usually very short. Some examples of proper "default configs": /etc/ntp.conf /etc/pacman.conf and of "example documentation configs": /etc/dnsmasq.conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf /etc/hostapd/* /usr/share/doc/lighttpd/config/* Now the problem is: should "example documentation configs" be installed in /etc/ or /usr/share/doc/<package>/ ? I'd vote for the latter, here is the reasoning: 1) Users will hardly overwrite files in /usr/share/doc/ so keeping "example documentation configs" there will ease maintenance of short and much clearer separate config files. 2) In the examples above, in all dnsmasq, wpa_supplicant and hostapd, the decision to keep the configs under /etc/ is made in PKGBUILD [1], [2], [3]. In case of wpa_supplicant, wpa_supplicant.conf(5) even indicates that the path to example config is "probably" /usr/share/doc/wpa_supplicant/. 3) Keeping "example documentation configs" with uncommented options under /etc/ might lead to unintended behaviour, meaning the default options might not be very sane. Specifically, /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf has multiple network blocks uncommented, which, in conjunction with the recently introduced dhcpcd hook [4], may lead to wpa_supplicant being started without user's intervention and not failing due to the network blocks uncommented in wpa_supplicant.conf. 4) Considering the user-centric clause in the Arch Way [5], I don't think any default config file for the three packages is necessary as anybody using it will have to modify it. Creating the file instead of modifying some bloated sample should be easier, see point 1). Before I submit bug reports for the three packages (dnsmasq, wpa_supplicant, hostapd), I'd like to hear some more opinions about this.

[arch-general] systemd-run --user does not work
by Rodrigo Rivas 26 May '14

26 May '14

Hello, list! This is an issue that has been nagging me for a while, and I thought that it was something I did to my machine, until I tested it in another Arch installation, and it is all the same. The problem is when I run for example: $ systemd-run --user /usr/bin/ls Failed to create bus connection: No such file or directory I would expect it to run the command and save the output in the journal, just as the --system counterpart does. You could think that the systemd user daemon is not running properly, but: $ systemctl --user works perfectly. Moreover, if I create a user unit as ~/.config/systemd/user/test.service and start it with `systemctl --user start test` it works, too. I know that systemd user sessions are still a bit of experimental, but I don't see any reason why systemctl works and systemd-run does not. Is this a bug? Or am I missing something? -- Rodrigo

What is the recommended way to set dirty ratio and dirty background ratio on boot? I added those in /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf fileand then added a systemd service to fork a process "sysctl --system" on startup and it didn't seem to work. The command "sysctl --system" run as root is successful in setting the custom options set in /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf.

[arch-general] GNU IceCat should be in the official repos
by Richter Vania 25 May '14

25 May '14

With Mozilla Firefox implementing DRM in their source code, I think more users - even those who aren't strictly Free Software people - will move to GNU IceCat. I know that most IceCat users compile it themselves but I compiling it takes a lot of time and a binary package would help those people who don't want to use Mozilla Firefox but still want to keep their browser up-to-date. I know that Arch isn't particularly aligned politically but I see this matter as practical, many people are going to switch to GNU IceCat if the DRM is implemented.

[arch-general] [Proposal] add python 3 support for gvim in [extra]
by Thomas Dziedzic 22 May '14

22 May '14

Hey all, I would like to add progress to the bug "FS#34397 - [gvim] has --disable-python3interp" [0]. I feel like it's about time to start looking into supporting python 3 in gvim. After some research, it looks like it would be problematic to support both python versions compiled into the same vim version. That said, python2 seems to still be the primary target of most vim plugins. Though a lot of these plugins also support python 3 at the same time. Currently there is no obvious "right" answer to which python version we should support since python2 obviously has the most support, but on the other hand, we should support the latest version of python since that is where the future lies. This proposal is to keep the existing vim/gvim packages in [extra], but add a 3rd split version called gvim-python3 or just gvim-python which would provide the exact same features as gvim except with python 3 support instead of python 2. This would allow the community to start experimenting with python 3 support and start reporting any issues to upstream vim plugins. While allowing users that don't really want to live on the edge to still use gvim as they previously had been using it. Eventually I would like to replace gvim with the python 3 version and provide a gvim-python2 version so that the default becomes python 3 but we would still provide a python 2 version for people that still need it. After some more time, I would like to eventually drop gvim-python2 to the aur and only support the python 3 version. I still don't know when these switches will happen, but for now, I would like to take the first step. It also seems that there is a python 3 version of gvim available in the aur [1]. Hopefully this would allow more people to experiment with python 3 support by removing the need to compile it and have it in supported repos. What do yall think?

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, kms, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, xcb. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. However, reinstalling did not fix the problem. Downgrading qt to the version 5.2.1 in [extra] did. I believe that recompiling "cantata" with qt 5.3 might be required?

[arch-general] virtualize a w8 ntfs partition and run w8 inside Arch
by arnaud gaboury 21 May '14

21 May '14

I dual boot Arch and w8 in EFI mode with rEFInd. Both Os are on the same ssd, with a ESP partition. Now I am looking to allow Arch users to run a virtualized version of the w8 already installed. The idea is to keep the dual boot option and allow the use of the installed w8 from Arch.I want to run within Arch a real "copy" of w8. In short, when changes are made or new apps are installed from w8 boot, I want to be sure these changes will be taken into account in the virtualized w8. It seems to me the QEMU arch wiki part [1] : Using any real partition as the single primary partition of a hard disk image will do what I am willing for. Am I right? If yes, is there any workaround to use the ESP partition of my ssd instead of creating a MBR like suggested in the WIKI ? Thank you for help and tips. [1]https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/QEMU

[arch-general] Why is it dangerous to run makepkg as root?
by Roland Tapken 19 May '14

19 May '14

Hi, I'm using arch for about half a year on a few systems, but every time I install something from aur I'm asking myself one question: Why is it considered dangerous to run makepkg as root? My first guess was that the PKGBUILD usually comes from an untrusted source and may contain code to attack my system (copy personal data or install a rootkit or something like that). But on the other hand, this file tells makepkg how to build the package that will be installed as root, so if the author of the PKGBUILD has bad purposes he will just put that code into the created package. The second idea is that this advice should prevent the script from *accidentally* damage my system. But this could be prevented by using fakeroot (which is disabled when calling makepkg with --asroot according to the manpage) or chroot. And actually the proper advice in this case should be to execute makepkg using a user dedicated for this, as for most arch users it would be worse if their personal file get deleted as if the system becomes unbootable. Regards, Roland

[arch-general] systemd-journald taking too much memory
by Ondřej Kučera 19 May '14

19 May '14

Hello, from time to time, Thunderbird crashes on my computer. It doesn't happen all that often and so far I haven't lost any data, so this actually doesn't bother me that much. But, when it happens, suddenly the process systemd-journald starts allocating more and more memory (this last time it went up to 1.3 GB), which makes the computer start swapping and for a few minutes it becomes quite unusable. I have no idea what journald is trying to log at that moment. This is what I found in the journal afterwards (also notice that last lines are out of order): May 19 10:24:18 rory systemd-journal[7906]: Permanent journal is using 28.0M (max allowed 15.0M, trying to leave 4.0G free of 131.5G available → current limit 28.0M).

'--asroot' option has recently been removed. https://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git/commit/?id=61ba5c961e4a3536c4bbf4… Need to check if arch-install-media runs as root, know of course you could add user but it might make things a little difficult if you need an aur application (such as broadcom-wl).

[arch-general] No usb keyboard in early userspace
by Javier Vasquez 16 May '14

Hi, With recent linux "3.14.4-1" I can no longer use the keyboard in early userspace, like providing the password for encrypted disk. I do have, and has had the keyboard hook on mkinitcpio.conf. I didn't have problems with any of the 3.13.* linux images, this is new after installation of 3.14.4. BTW, this is a laptop, and the laptop integrated keyboard fortunatelly is working. Anyone aware?

[arch-general] Broken mirror
by Hugo Osvaldo Barrera 16 May '14

A few days ago, I set arch to use the three mirrors in Brazil (since they're geographically closest to my country). One of these seems to be broken completely: archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br. Pacman just times out: error: failed retrieving file 'testing.db' from archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br : Connection timed out after 10000 milliseconds (and the same for all repositories) I made sure it really was broken: $ ping6 archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br PING archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br(sagres.c3sl.ufpr.br) 56 data bytes <left this for a while> ^C --- archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br ping statistics --- 79 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 78008ms I didn't find who I should contact about it. -- Hugo Osvaldo Barrera A: No, it doesn't make sense.

[arch-general] console font setup
by Carl Schaefer 15 May '14

15 May '14

I've installed arch in a qemu virtual machine, and I've specified FONT=Lat2-Terminus16 in /etc/vconsole.conf. When the machine boots I can see the effect of that font being installed, but soon after the console font is reset to some default value. This happens with qemu's default virtual display hardware of "cirrus" and also "qxl", but not "std" or "vmware". What seems to fix it is delaying the execution of systemd-vconsole-setup until after /dev/fb0 has been created, by creating /etc/udev/rules.d/20-fb0.rules: SUBSYSTEM=="graphics", KERNEL=="fb0", TAG+="systemd" and /etc/systemd/system/systemd-vconsole-setup.service.d/local.conf: [Unit] After=dev-fb0.device Requires=dev-fb0.device I have a few questions: * does anybody else have this problem? * are there any better ways to solve it than the above? * does this indicate a missing dependency for systemd-vconsole-setup, and/or bugs in the VGA drivers that appear to overwrite the configured console font? thanks!

[arch-general] Shouldn't libperconaserverclient provide and conflict with libmysqlclient?
by Marcel Korpel 14 May '14

14 May '14

When I try to change my database server from mariadb to percona-server I noticed that libperconaserverclient is going to be installed, but libmariadbclient isn't going to be removed. When looking further into the package function of libperconaserverclient [1] I noticed that libmysqlclient isn't provided nor conflicts with libperconaserverclient. However, in the package function of libmariadbclient [2] there are the following lines: conflicts=('libmysqlclient') provides=("libmysqlclient=$pkgver") Shouldn't these lines (or something like them) be in package_libperconaserverclient? If so, I'll file a bug report.

[arch-general] Need some tips/help with kernel bisection
by Mauro Santos 13 May '14

13 May '14

After the update to kernel 3.14 my laptop stopped suspending/hibernating properly. I have narrowed down the problem somewhat, but before I submit a bug upstream, I'd like to try and bisect the kernel to find exactly what broke things for me (and I suppose I might be asked by upstream to bisect the kernel anyway). I have never done this before, and I suppose there might be a few catches I should be aware of before I start what will be a time consuming process. My plan is to start with the current PKGBUILD for the kernel (or a PKGBUILD from AUR) and modify it a little for my needs. However I don't know if I should start with a kernel configuration file from the 3.13 series or if I can use the one that is used by the current kernel. I was thinking of making use of 'make localmodconfig' to cut down on the compilation time, but I don't know if there are any catches I should be aware of. Should I use 'make config' followed by 'make localmodconfig' or using only the later is ok? Can I compile the kernel on the same dir where I'm using 'git bisect' or is it advisable to clone that to a new dir and build in the new dir? In case compiling in place is ok, should I use 'make clean' before compiling a new kernel? Regarding patches, I suppose I shouldn't need to include any extra patches or are there any known needed patches required to build kernel 3.13? -- Mauro Santos

[arch-general] linux-3.14.3-1 and FAT32 /boot partition mount fail
by Andrey Mivrenik 12 May '14

12 May '14

Hello, After Linux kernel update my system can't boot properly because of this error: > [FAILED] Failed to mount /boot Although it gives me opportunity to login as root. When I try to mount it manually: > mount: unknown filesystem type 'vfat' Kernel downgrade to 3.14.2-1 resolved this. So, did I miss something or it's a bug? I have to use FAT32 for /boot because I have that UEFI thing. Regards, -- *GPG Key ID:* D782DAB8

[arch-general] NTP: Possible permissions bug
by Kyle Terrien 12 May '14

12 May '14

Hi fellow Archers, I seem to be having trouble with ntpd.service since the 4.2.7 upgrade. I can't get ntpd to run as the ntp user. I'm using the /etc/ntp.conf provided by the package ntp. When starting ntpd.service (systemctl start ntp.service), ntpd spikes the CPU for a moment, and then spikes the CPU about every 5 minutes afterward. What's more is ntpq -p returns "No association ID's returned". I ran "ntpd -g -u ntp:ntp -p /run/ntpd.pid -d" (from the Systemd unit file). The results: <http://sprunge.us/QbYL> The part I found of interest were the lines that read: intres: EAI_SYSTEM errno 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) means try again, right? select() returned -1: Interrupted system call select() returned -1: Interrupted system call I took out the "-u ntp:ntp" parameter (so ntp runs as root), and these errors disappeared. Also, ntpq -p returns the NTP servers I'm synchronized with. So, I'm pretty sure the issue is permissions related, but I have no idea what it's running into. Any insight? I currently modified /usr/lib/systemd/system/ntpd.service so that ntpd runs as root instead of the user ntp. (Is there a cleaner way to tweak a systemd unit file?) Everything seems to run fine for now. On a side note, the Wiki says that timedatectl (part of systemd) can use ntp for synchronization [1]. However, the man page for timedatectl shows an example where chrony (another NTP server) is running. Does ntpd.service need to be running for timedatectl to set time via NTP? Is there a way to force timedatectl to query NTP (for testing)? --Kyle [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ntp#systemd_services

[arch-general] Selective upgrade: pacman -Syu, "yes" but not the kernel
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby 12 May '14

12 May '14

Hi all, I would like to make my system up to date except for the kernel. "pacman -Syu" propose to upgrade a bunch of softwares that includes the kernel There's nothing wrong on upgrading the kernel, but I would like to delay it to the week-end. It's not a definitive refusal, it's just temporary. How to tell pacman "OK for the upgrades, but dont upgrade the kernel for now"?

[arch-general] Resume from suspend in RAM fails
by nmset＠netcourrier.com 12 May '14

12 May '14

Hello, Resume from suspend in RAM fails even though I have followed the Arch Wiki recommendations, with latest 3.12.7 kernel (and before). The 'resume' hook has been added for mkinitcpio and the machine goes to suspend from the command line (pm-suspend) with no GUI enabled. All keyboard and mouse lights are off and the screen is just black with no backlight. I can't even login through SSH and can't get any PM debug info. It happens on one particular machine only and I'm quite stuck with it. Any suggestions to solve this ? I can provide other relevent information if required. Thanks.

[arch-general] out of memory while allocating z_stream
by Stephen E. Baker 10 May '14

10 May '14

Hello, As of yesterday I cannot boot, regardless of whether I choose the regular or failback kernel from the boot loader. I haven't been able to find anything on google, so I was hoping someone here might know what's going on. Last time my system was up I installed updates including the latest kernel, and I ran e4defrag over the disk. The computer is a ThinkPad T60, with a Core 2 Duo and 2GB of Ram. I am running the i686 version of Arch Linux. My boot loader is syslinux. In the mean time I'm downloading a new copy of the Arch Install ISO (all my existing recovery disks are too old to chroot from), and I will try reinstalling the kernel. Output: Loading ../vmlinuz-linux... ok Loading ../initramfs-linux.img...ok Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)... ok early console in decompress_kernel Decompressing Linux... Out of memory while allocating z_stream -- System halted

[arch-general] How to disable systemd-tmpfiles-clean.timer
by Olivier Langlois 10 May '14

10 May '14

Since a recent update (I have first noticed a couple of weeks ago this new systemd enhancement), systemd started to automatically clean /tmp directory daily. This is not something that I like as I prefer to decide when to clean up and to manually perform the clean up. I have tried systemctl stop systemd-tmpfiles-clean.timer systemctl disable systemd-tmpfiles-clean.timer The disabling apparently did not survived a reboot and the undesired systemd service came back. I guess that I could mess with tmpfiles-clean config file but I am just not interested in the service at all. What is the sure way method to disable it for good? thank you,

[arch-general] sbcl is out of date
by Kevin Dodd 10 May '14

10 May '14

SBCL upstream has been releasing new versions monthly; version 1.1.18 came out a few days ago. The SBCL package in Arch Linux's [extra] repository is two months old, and has been flagged out-of-date for a month, with no sign of an update even in [testing]. I was able to build and run the 1.1.17 release myself just by changing the version number and checksum in the PKGBUILD, and the new package was able to build and run extra/maxima with no issues on my computer. I haven't tried the same process with 1.1.18 yet, but having viewed the changelog I see no reason to expect the results will be any different. Is there a technical reason for the delay, or has the package maintainer just been busy?

[arch-general] Comment on: Use systemd timers instead of /etc/cron.{hourly, daily, weekly, monthly}?
by Maciej Puzio 09 May '14

09 May '14

[This is a comment to arch-dev-public thread "Use systemd timers instead of /etc/cron.{hourly, daily, weekly, monthly}?". As I was unable to post to that list, I am following instructions provided by the list server by sending this message to arch-general and the author of the original thread. I'd like to mention that I also tried and was not able to file a bug report on this issue, due to bug tracker server failing to send a registration code. The original thread can be viewed here: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.arch.devel/20644 ] I am sorry to say that the decision to replace cron.daily tasks with systemd timers is causing problems. After a routine update I noticed that my machines now perform daily maintenance tasks exactly at midnight. Not only is this time not optimal (too early), but all machines perform their maintenance at the same moment, which is far from ideal, especially for servers. Previously I had each server to perform daily cron jobs at various times, spread between 3 and 6am. On my machines this affects updatedb, man-db, logrotate and shadow, updatedb generating a lot of I/O and thus being the most problematic. I was not able to find any way to configure systemd to fire daily calendar timers at a different time of the day (please correct me if I missed something). So far I found two workarounds: 1. Override timer files and set OnCalendar with a specific time, rather than "daily". This has to be done separately for each timer. 2. Restore cron.daily scripts and mask relevant systemd services and timers (i.e. revert the configuration to what it was before the update). The resulting config is simpler to manage than the first workaround (no separate time settings for each task), so I went with this one. I am not sure what to suggest as a general fix for this issue, other than a feature request to systemd upstream maintainers. I guess it is too late to roll back the changes in affected Arch packages. I am posting this for other users looking for a solution to this problem. Thanks Maciej Puzio

Hi all. I tried to install KDE for testing accessibility with Orca. However, a friend of mine told me that the only icon that shows up is a hard drive, and it sits at this icon forever and won't load. What could be going wrong? Nothing on the forums shows information on this issue.

[arch-general] .desktop and install files in general & Eclipse package not complete?
by Marcel Korpel 06 May '14

06 May '14

Hi all, I already asked this at the forums, but didn't get an answer yet, so I'll re-explain my question(s) here. I just want to master creating packages with .desktop files and icon theme, but I think what I find and what is suggested differ significantly. In the GNOME Package Guidelines there's a section about .desktop files and the like. [1] It states that running update-desktop-database -q during post_install and post_remove is recommended (note that it doesn't state it's *required*). However, the Eclipse package doesn't do that. [2] It even doesn't depend on hicolor-icon-theme, as is required when issuing gtk-update-icon-cache -q -t -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor during post_install (namcap didn't complain about this dependency, as it usually does, like about mars-mips: [3] mars-mips E: Files in /usr/share/icons/hicolor but no call to gtk-update-icon-cache or xdg-icon-resource to update the icon cache (there are other issues with that package, about which I'll inform the package maintainer at a later moment)). On a second thought, issuing $ pacman -Qo gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache is owned by gtk-update-icon-cache 2.24.23-1 So shouldn't those packages with an icon theme depend on gtk-update-icon-cache instead of just on hicolor-icon-theme? Is the Eclipse package wrong or is the Wiki not complete (also note that the recommended install file of gedit [4] isn't that complete: it doesn't contain a call to gtk-update-icon-cache as it doesn't contain a hicolor icon theme; perhaps we should look for another example)? When the former is the case, I'll file a bug report. Else, please explain to me what to do with icon themes and .desktop files. I hope I expressed myself clearly.

You generally shouldn't need to set the +w on /boot/grub/grub.cfg. It should be set correctly for from the beginning. Remember you should be root or using sudo when running grub-mkconfig to write to /boot/grub/grub.cfg $ ls -l /boot/grub/grub.cfg -rw------- 1 root root 6209 Apr 22 18:29 /boot/grub/grub.cfg > Each time I ran this, it saw the Arch partition.

If you do see Arch Linux the menu entries in /boot/grub/grub.cfg but then don't see them at boot then that mostly likely means /boot/grub does not contain the grub files you are actually using at boot time (i.e. your /boot is mounting the wrong thing!). Either that or the menu you're looking at when booting isn't even GRUB!

[arch-general] Is ATI more... "compatible"?
by Dimitris Zervas 05 May '14

05 May '14

Hello fellow archers, I have an ASUS GTX 660 Ti DirectCU II 2GB and 2 monitors. I love gaming (battlefield and dayz for now, but several game generally, which are not wine-compatible and won't ever be. DirectX 11 and sh*t.) and I want to be able to play on my Arch (dual boot is NOT a solution for me.). I want to achieve GPU passthrough. GT9800 (my old graphics card) on one monitor for linux and GTX660 on the other monitor used by windows. I've tried several months ago to go with Xen GPU passthrough but failed (I did not have much time). I will start all over again in a month and try, KVM gpu passthrough and then (if it fails) xen again. Both KVM and Xen, have better support (if not only) for ATi graphics cards than Nvidia (for the specific chip that I have). Is that true? If yes, I am thinking of selling my NVidia and buying a slightly better ATi. Which one to buy? Thank you for your time :)

I have a somewhat similar setup except that I have an older, non-UEFI machine. I recently created an Arch installation but I also have three Xubuntu installations. The GRUB 2 installation belongs to one of the Xubuntu installs. The way I add the Arch installation from Xubuntu is: * I mount the Arch partition in Xubuntu using the file manager. It gets mounted under /media/. * From a terminal ($ prompt), I enter: sudo update-grub When I reboot, the Arch installation is now visible in GRUB. Note that this procedure has to be repeated when Xubuntu software updates bring in a new kernel, etc., as that runs "update-grub" behind the scenes. I hope that helps.

You need to explain that. The thread is a hidden thingy in the mail's headers, it's not the subject. In the header are In-Reply-To/References and some people sort their mails grouped by threads. Top posting is unwanted, consider to use inline posting or bottom posting and _remove_ irrelevant quotes.

[arch-general] nvidia optimus with intel/nouveau and bumblebee + bbswitch
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby 03 May '14

03 May '14

Hi all, I have a Dell Latitude E6430, with the Optimus thing and a dual graphic card: Intel & Nvidia. (I did know I got that until now) I installed bumblebee and bbswitch I enabled bumblebeed at startup I installed "intel" and "nouveau" Xorg drivers I setup nouveau to be early loaded The BIOS only allow me to check or uncheck "Optimus". When unchecked => The OS boots with Intel ("intel" driver) when checked => The OS boots with Nvidia ("nouveau" driver) To potentially enable the 2 cards, I have to setup "check" that option. When this option is checked (the system boots on the Nvidia card) "xrandr" only lists 1 provider: nouveau. I cleaned /etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/* to not mention any GPU related instructions. I get stuck on this, because whatever documentation I read, as long as xrandr lists only 1 provider I cannot try any solution to get 3 screens when I want to (I use a xrandr GUI to enable what I want). Note that I dont want to have 3 screens all the time. Where should I check further in order to get xrandr to list the 2 poviders I need? Thank you.

All, Checking dmesg, I found the line: [ 2.865094] systemd[1]: Configuration file /etc/systemd/system/netctl(a)rlf_network\x2dstatic.service is marked world-inaccessible.

Re: [arch-general] Installing Archlinux alongside Ubuntu on a Windows8 UEFI laptop

Salutations, Okay. Try starting ove again. Boot into the arch iso using uefi boot (preferably but not necessary). Then set up your partitions (root, home). For boot, mount the windows EFI system partition as /boot. Then install the system. You won't need to install grub or gummiboot since you can boot the efistub directly. I would create a folder in /boot named "arch". I would then copy the *.img from /boot to /boot/arch and rename the vmlinuz-Linux to vmlinuz-linux.efi. If you booted into uefi mode from the Arch iso, you should be able to run efibootmgr. Run efibootmgr to see what entries you have (you should at least have the windows entry). Then type something like this : efibootmgr -d <efi disk id ( probably /dev/sda) -p <parition # (probably 1> -L "Arch Linux UEFI" -l /arch/vmlinux-Linux.efi -u "root=<location of root> initramfs=/arch/initramfs.img rw quiet" -w.

[arch-general] Installing Archlinux alongside Ubuntu on a Windows 8 UEFI laptop
by Alan E. Davis 02 May '14

02 May '14

This is insanity... The first time I have encountered the much maligned Micro$oft UEFI / Secure Boot adventure. On my new Thinkpad Yoga, with a Wacom active digitizer and pen. Ubuntu was a walk in the park. I installed Ubuntu naively, alongside the new Windows 8.1 laptop. It took maybe an hour to break my resolve to take my time. It was a disconcerting experience. I now have a system that boots Ubuntu 2014.04, through a convoluted process of signing into Windoze, then backing out through advanced settings to boot from a Menu. If I were trying to lock in my customer base, I couldn't have designed it any better, or made it any more uncomfortable, myself. Ubuntu picks up the Wacom pen, and almost everything else. But it's not Archlinux. I am a bit fearful, but decided that Archlinux, which I am using on two other machines, would potentially be the better choice. I have two more partitions, one of a /home and another for an Arch /boot, so I went ahead and walked through the most of the install, except for installing the boot manager. I am stuck now. I don't want to compromise what I have already gained. Now I need to learn how to set up the system to boot any of the three OSs. I am puzzled by the variety of approaches I have seen; hence, I am reaching out here on the mailing list. I saw advice to use GRUB but install it in the boot PARTITION. Not sure how to do this, and not sure whether it will work. Does this make sense to anyone? Alan

[arch-general] mc - why not alias mc-wrapper.sh as default
by David C. Rankin 02 May '14

02 May '14

All, midnight commander provides a convenient script that allows exit to the present working directory of mc instead of returning you to the directory in which mc was started. All that is required is a simple alias: alias mc='. /usr/lib/mc/mc-wrapper.sh' This simply invokes mc with the -P option saving the present dir to a tmp file, then changing to it on exit. Any reason not to make this the default? Just a convenience suggestion with a simple fix -- for consideration. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Salutations, In these cases, I usually whip out a copy of refind-efi on cd and boot that via uefi. Refind-efi now detects kernels in /boot so it may be able to detect the Arch and Ubuntu kernels.

Also, polkit.service runs quite a while after everything else, but that is less important. How do I optimize NetworkManager.service to shorten boot times, especially as I don't need a network first-thing? -- - Toyam

[arch-general] On-boot delay due to timer units
by Leonid Isaev 01 May '14

01 May '14

Hi, Since anacron jobs were replaced with timers, I am seeing a noticeable delay before agetty prompt appears on machines which were unused for some time (due to update/man-db timers starting up simultaneously). TLDR: Anacron inserts a random delay between boot and running the jobs, so is it possible to simulate this behavior by including e.g. "OnBootSec=..." in the timers at next update? Or is this option incompatible with OnCalendar? Here is the (edited) "statistics" obtained by grepping /var/log/daemon.log. The disk is actually an Intel X-25 (sata-2) SSD. --- No timers are active (baseline) --- Apr 6: 5.983s (kernel) + 1.947s (userspace) = 7.930s. Apr 6: 5.815s (kernel) + 2.494s (userspace) = 8.310s.

[arch-general] Hanging on log out
by David Rosenstrauch 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

Been having a problem in recent weeks that I'm unable to fix or even diagnose. When I log out of my desktop, the machine just hangs with a blank X windows screen. (I.e., black screen with mouse cursor pointer.) I'm able switch to a console and successfully issue the "sudo poweroff" command from there. But the system never brings me back to an X login screen. I'm not sure what package is causing the problem here. I run XFCE with LXDM as my DM. My initial guess was that this is an issue with xfce4-session, since a) I see a zombie "sh" process under xfce4-session when I look at the process list, and b) when I kill xfce4-session I successfully get back to a login screen. But I also see that the xfce4-session package hasn't been updated since September, so I'd think it's unlikely that that's what's causing the problem. Anyone got any pointers in the right direction for me on this? Thanks, DR

hello, i'd like a clarification regarding the structure of the community.git repository, and what it means for certains paths to exist or not. there's a bunch of directories that have a trunk/ subdir but no repos/. i'm curious what these directories represent. they're not packages, according to https://www.archlinux.org/packages/. latest commits affecting most of these directories have "db-remove: ..." for subject, and i'd guess they should've been removed completely. if i'm reading the wiki[0] correctly, /packages/db-remove may not the best ui for complete package removal, since the packager needs to perform two extra steps to DTRT: Removing a package ssh nymeria.archlinux.org /packages/db-remove repo-name arch packagename i.e. /packages/db-remove core i686 openssh And if you want to really kill the package, you will need to svn rm the entire package directory after the above steps and commit the deletion. another page omits this information completely[1].

[arch-general] Error in wireshark-gtk2 in show interfaces for capture
by Maykel Franco 29 Apr '14

29 Apr '14

Hi, I have installed wireshark-gtk2. But when go to Capture/Interfaces I get this error: There are no interfaces on which a capture can be done. I follow this steps: Setting network privileges for dumpcap 1. Ensure your linux kernel and filesystem supports File Capabilities and also you have installed necessary tools. 2. "setcap 'CAP_NET_RAW+eip CAP_NET_ADMIN+eip' /usr/bin/dumpcap" 3. Start Wireshark as non-root and ensure you see the list of interfaces and can do live capture. Limiting capture permission to only one group 1. Create user "wireshark" in group "wireshark". 2. "chgrp wireshark /usr/bin/dumpcap" 3. chmod 754 /usr/bin/dumpcap 4. "setcap 'CAP_NET_RAW+eip CAP_NET_ADMIN+eip' /usr/bin/dumpcap" 5. Ensure Wireshark works only from root and from a user in the "wireshark" group Thanks in advanced.

[arch-general] Gnome 3.12 and password keyring
by azuri＠free.fr 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

Hello, Since my switch to gnome 3.12, I have a problem with the "Passwordless login trick" [1]. I have added "auth sufficient pam_succeed_if.so user ingroup nopasswdlogin" to /etc/pam.d/gdm-password. With previous versions of gnome, when I launched evolution (for example), as gnome-keyring wasn't unlock, I had a dialog asking for the password. In 3.12, that dialog does not open and so evolution can't retrieve my mails (same with epiphany that can't save passwords). I have removed the line and it works fine, but I really prefer passwordless logins (especially when switching between users or after idle!) Do you have a clue what has changed and where I could look at? Thanks, [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GDM#Passwordless_login

[arch-general] Using Wayland/Weston in ArchLinux
by pplive 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

Dear all, I have installed ArchLinux on a virtual machine hosted by my VirtualBox. The desktop I picked is enlightenment I have also installed wayland/weston by pacman. I tried to play with weston according to the following page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/wayland If I just run weston, I can create a window, and I can configure the height/width of the window. However, when I tried "weston-launch", there is an error message "weston-launch must be run from a virtual terminal" When I tried "weston-flower", the error information is as follows: "error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment. failed to connect to Wayland display: NO such file or directory failed to create display: No such file or directory" Did I miss something? Can somebody provide me some hints? Thanks so much! Best regards, Alex

[arch-general] pacman and keys
by Heiko Becker 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

Hey, today I tried to update my system and got errors related to my pacman keys. As I have not been using my computer for a week I reinitialized the pacman key database and downloaded the arch linux keys with pacman-key --import archlinux. After that my libreoffice issues were solved, but now I get the following error: error: jre7-openjdk-headless: signature from "Guillaume ALAUX <guillaume(a)archlinux.org>" is invalid :: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/jre7-openjdk-headless-7.u55_2.4.7-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)). Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] Y error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package) Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded. Can someone help me out? Best regards, Heiko

[arch-general] Does openssl 1.0.1.g-1 close the heartbleed exploit?
by David C. Rankin 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

Guys, I was testing my boxes after updating to openssl 1.0.1.g-1 with heartbleed.c and I am still able to grab and decrypt ssl packets. The openssl security note says 1.0.1.g is not effected by the bug, but I can still get a 64k chuck of data back from my server using the heartbleed.c test. (if I'm reading the output correctly) Am I may be doing something wrong? It is worth asking to be sure.

[arch-general] Android support in Linux Arch
by Anatol Pomozov 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

In my TU application I promised to look at situation with Android support in Arch. Android is an open-source project that has a number of sub-projects. The official website offers prebuild binaries for those sub-projects such as sdk, ndk, build-tools, IDE plugins,... We want to simplify Android installation and maintenance and looking into turning it into real packages. Installing tools by downloading and unpacking is sux and so 90s. The naive way to add packages is to use these binaries and just repack them into Arch packages. Or download-at-installation - something like what we do for proprietary software. AUR has many android packages that download binary files from Android website. But using prebuilt binary packages is something atypical for Arch. There are issues with it: - android download site provides only 32-bit binaries so multilib repositories are required - prebuild packages do not use standard installation paths - they compile against older version of third-party projects and bundled it into download files. The packages should depend on existing system libraries instead. The plan is to provide proper Arch packages that do not have the problems listed above. I initially tried to build a package that follows "build whole Android source-tree" official instructions [1]. And then pack only parts we need. Oh boy, this was painful. The source tree is several Gb of code, it pulls prebuilt versions of gcc, clang, python,.. It requires specific version of make and java. After a week of trying to build Android on Arch without using prebuilds I gave up. Actually those instructions [1] build system images that include kernel and ARM code for a specific hardware. Arch does not need it. I've decided to attack this problem from other side: find what exactly we need to pack as Arch packages and then build it from sources. I've decided to look to AUR non-binary android packages and see what people vote for (who said that voting is useless?). There are a number of packages that seems good for moving to [community]: - android-tools https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/android-tools/ It contains adb and fastboot. These the packages that I am interested in. I am not an Android developer I am just an Android user and adb is the most useful Android tool for me. - android completion for adb/fastboot https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/android-bash-completion/ these files can be merged into previous package. - android-udev https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/android-udev/ sounds useful as well These 3 packages is easy to move to [community] and my gut feeling says it should be enough for the most Android users. These is another category of users: those who *develop* for Android and need a lot of other tools, such as: sdk sdk-build-tools: aapt, aidl, dexdump, dx, llvm-rs-cc ndk api docs IDE plugins? system images? I did not find source packages for it at AUR. So if we want to add it [community] we need to create such packages but it might be quite hard. Are there people with Android development background? What exactly do you miss in Arch? Is it worth building our own SDK/eclipse plugins/...? [1] http://source.android.com/source/building-running.html

[arch-general] Qt4 / Qt5 package naming
by Jerome Leclanche 22 Apr '14

22 Apr '14

Hi With Qt5 becoming more and more available throughout Qt apps (especially as KDE progresses into the switch), I think it's time to consider adopting an updated naming scheme. IMHO: - Qt4 apps should use the -qt4 suffix - Qt5 apps should not use any suffix or prefix - Qt libraries should probably use a qt- prefix. (eg what is currently qt5-base, qt5-doc etc should become qt-base, qt-location). Or alternatively, no prefix at all and use upstream naming scheme (qtbase, qtlocation, ...) Thoughts? J. Leclanche

[arch-general] PPPoE broken on upload
by Wayne S 22 Apr '14

22 Apr '14

No answers on previous post so starting new topic. Recent updates have caused problems with my PPPoE FIOS link. The upload speed has been reduced to near zero. I "was" using arch linux box as a firewall router. I have a verizon fios connection that still uses the old pppoe. Recently the pppoe connection upload bandwidth went down to < 50kbps (normally it is >25Mbps), however the download bandwidth is still around 58Mbps. There was a recent thread about recompiling PPP to 2.4.6, however, whatever this change did in recent updates, has broken my router PPP connection upload speed. During boot pppd 2.4.6 is started and the message RP-PPPoE plugin version 3.8d compiled against pppd 2.4.6. I see no errors. I switched over to using the Verizon actiontec fios router and it works OK. I switched over to an archlinuxarm on a Utilite computer, and it works OK. I built a new arch based firewall router on a different computer, and it has the same problem with the latest Arch on my existing router. Which leads me to conclude that something went wrong with pppoe after the recompile to 2.4.6. Any help would be welcome on what is going on, or how to diagnose. Wayne

[arch-general] How to track packages dropped from the repos?
by Lorenzo Bandieri 21 Apr '14

21 Apr '14

Hi list, Sometimes packages are silently dropped from the repos. This happened for example in the last few days with mash 0.2.0-3, which apparently I installed as a dependency for gnome (I guess it is no longer required). I follow arch-general, arch-dev-public and aur-general, and as far as I know, this change wasn't announced in any of these lists. I recall other examples in the last 2-3 years (this is roughly the time I've used arch consistently), but now I don't remember the packages involved. Currently I try to keep track of these changes by running e.g. "pacman -Qm" and "pacman -Qdt" once in a while, so it's no big deal. However, I think it would be interesting to know from a more "official" channel when a package is dropped and why. This would allow users to be aware of the change and decide whether the package is still needed (and act accordingly, e.g. if the package is dropped to AUR, one could subscribe to comments or check for updates) or can be safely uninstalled. I searched without finding anything decisive (e.g. these threads [1] [2] suggest possible workarounds in the form of scripts). I wonder if better methods to track dropped packages exist; if not, would it be feasible to implement a solution, e.g. a list where dropped packages are announced, similar to "last rites" in gentoo?

[arch-general] GHC 7.8.1 packaging decisions for Arch Linux
by Thomas Dziedzic 21 Apr '14

21 Apr '14

Hello all, With the arrival of ghc 7.8.1 [0], I would like to address the following problems with a restructuring of how we treat haskell packages in archlinux: Problem 1: Updating any haskell package has been delayed until we bump ghc. Explanation: ghc is unable to produce a library that has a stable abi. In other words, if a library gets rebuilt (even if it's the same exact source), we will need to rebuild all package that depend on it, and this would in turn a messy rebuild for any kind of rebuild. Problem 2: Users are confused whether they should install packages from the repos or using cabal-install. This in turn sometimes causes them to install some packages from official repos, some from the aur, and some using cabal-install Explanation: Packages should ideally be installed from one place, either using repos/aur or cabal-install. Said that, it is entirely possible to use both repos/aur and cabal-install but for simplicity, one source is preferred. Problem 3: Our repos are unable to package every haskell package Explanation: hackage has over 5000 haskell packages in it currently. There is no way we will be able to support that many packages in our official repos without some kind of automation. And even if it would be possible, it would not necessarily be desirable. In addition, it is entirely possible to have multiple versions of the same package installed at the same time. Cabal has a very elaborate dependency solver in order to find versions that will work for all package versions installed. In addition, cabal-install 1.18 (the latest released) has added support for sandboxes, meaning that when developing haskell programs, you are now able to setup a sandbox environment that will only contain the haskell packages you want. I would like to propose the following changes to address the mentioned problems and having the ability to use sandboxes to isolate development environments. Change 1: Move every haskell related package out of [extra] into [community] except ghc and cabal-install. This includes the following 8 packages: haskell-http, haskell-mtl, haskell-network, haskell-parsec, haskell-random, haskell-text, haskell-transformers, haskell-zlib Explanation: These packages are only required to build cabal-install. Since we converted the cabal-install package to use the bootstrap script that comes with it, we no longer depend on these packages for anything in [extra]. Change 2: Make a news item stating that cabal-install is now the recommended way to install haskell packages. This wouldn't pollute the filesystem since cabal-install installs packages to the ~/.cabal directory by default. We might need to include a tip sheet about how you would handle ghc updates since it requires extra user steps. Change 3: Support users who are unable to install haskell packages that do not compile under archlinux. This would require working with the user and upstream to open up tickets and write patches for programs. At the very least we can work with the user if they do not to open up upstream bug reports and track them in our own bug tracker. There might be some packages which we would probably consider unsupported like bindings to packages that are not in the supported repos and packages that have no upstream activity and ones that are effectively unmaintained. Hopefully with the proposed changes, we can improve our user experience with using official tools to maintain haskell packages. I realize that some changes might be controversial especially change 3. This is why I posted this here in order to discuss the possibilities. I would also love to hear some opinions from vegai since he has some previous experience package haskell and has had similar thoughts in the past. Also if you're not a developer or trusted user, I would also like to hear your opinion since it would affect you also. Thanks for your time, - Tom [0] - https://github.com/ghc/ghc/releases/tag/ghc-7.8.1-release

[arch-general] iTunes on Arch Linux
by Ralf Mardorf 20 Apr '14

20 Apr '14

Hi, on my Arch Linux host I run Windows XP as guest in Virtual Box. From one day to the other some Internet connections don't work anymore. If I try to connect iTunes to their server, there is no Internet connection. If I try to connect to https://startpage.com/ by a guest's browser, there's no Internet connection, while for http://www.google.de/ there is. https://startpage.com/ is available by the Arch Linux host's browsers. Another https website, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Secure is available by the guest's browsers too. What could be the cause, that for some things the Internet is available for the guest and for other things the Internet isn't available. Some Heartbleed fix or some missing fix? Safari's German message says that it can's connect to https://startpage.com/ , because it can't establish a secure connection. iTunes just nags that I should check, if there is an Internet connection. Unfortunately I need iTunes. Any ideas how to fix it or another way to run iTunes on Linux? Regards, Ralf

[arch-general] lxc: systemd-udev-trigger resets host kbd & mouse settings
by Carl Schaefer 19 Apr '14

19 Apr '14

I've just started playing with lxc, and found that if I create a container with: # lxc-create -n arch -t archlinux and then start it: # lxc-start -n arch it resets my X keyboard map and mouse acceleration settings (which are set by setxkbmap/xset/xinput), though mouse button remapping done by xmodmap is not affected. I tracked it as far as the execution of: /usr/bin/udevadm trigger --type=devices --action=add in /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-udev-trigger.service, which seems to write "add" to most of the "uevent" files under /sys/devices. I don't know the reason for this, especially in a container, but disabling the whole udev trigger service in the container keeps the host X input settings intact without breaking anything obvious in the container (and the container boots a lot faster now, too). I'd appreciate any thoughts on what systemd-udev-trigger is doing, whether it's appropriate in a container, and if there's a better way to keep a container from changing X input settings on the host.

After the update to 4.13 - i have baloo sucking up cpu cylces. I did go to the desktop search and add every single file system/directory to the 'dont scan' list. So there should be nothing left to scan. Didn't help - it's still running 2 hours later ... anyone know how to stop this selfish cpu hog? thanks!

Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] providing grsecurity in [community]

My reply to the arch-dev-public discussion. > I'd say an unofficial repo is the way to go for the time being. > linux-grsec in the AUR only has 44 votes, so it is not screaming out for > inclusion in the repos. Alan, please also include 64 votes for AppArmor and 19 for SELinux. It sums up to 127. As Daniel said, everyone will be happy to drop their AppArmors and SELinuxes to whatever the official repo will provide. Anyway, votes have rarely been a reason for moving packages from AUR into community. It seems we are now facing a situation where the number of votes is a hard requirement for the package to make its way into community. It has never been a case, and I hope it doesn't happen now. Some TU is interested in maintaining linux-grsec, it won't affect anybody else he claims, so I don't see what the big deal is. -- Kind regards, Damian Nowak StratusHost www.AtlasHost.eu

[arch-general] providing grsecurity in [community]
by henning mueller 18 Apr '14

18 Apr '14

Hey, I'm replying to a thread on arch-dev-public with the same subject, here. I'm maintaining the linux-grsec PKGBUILD in the AUR [0], wrote an utility to set PaX flags [1] and host a repository for binary grsecurity packages [2]. Although I like the idea of further integrating grsecurity into Arch Linux, I have some points to criticize on the planning proposals of Daniel Micay. > It also includes the PaX project to provide a much stronger > implementation of ASLR along with significant memory protections > for userspace. These features do break many packages, and require > setting flags on binaries when exceptions are necessary. I don't > want to place a burden on other packagers, so I plan on leaving > the parts requiring integration with other packages disabled at > first. 1. The very core of the grsecurity project is PaX. Without it, you miss out on the most effective security features. Some contributing linux-grsec users and me collected numerous binaries, which do not work well with PaX and the according PaX features, which have to be disabled in order to get them running. These are currently collected in the linux-pax-flags utility [1]. For a clean grsecurity integration, any flags on [core], [extra] and [community] should be set before releasing linux-grsec in [community]. > It would have no impact on people not using it, since it would > just be a very short string set in the `user.pax.flags` xattr key. > For example, `setfattr -n user.pax.flags -v "mr" > "$pkgdir/usr/bin/foo"` to disable MPROTECT and RANDMMAP features > (on chromium, firefox, etc.). 2. I think, manually setting the flags with a setfattr call in the PKGBUILDs is a bad solution, because it is error-prone. The Gentoo (hardened) folks integrated a new function for marking binaries with PaX flags into the ebuild environment. I would prefer a solution like this for Arch, too. A new PKGBUILD variable for PaX flags to be set after install() would also be a good solution (like PAX_FLAGS=(usr/bin/firefox:mr). (There is also a utility which supports xattr flags by the Gentoo hardened folks named paxctl-ng.) 3. I do not know, what the policy is, here, but I would prefer to maintain the PKGBUILD myself, if it gets included in [community]. At least, I would have expected to be integrated in the discussion a little more. I did the work on it since beginning of 2012 and run it on several machines since then. I think, a message like "I will adopt your package in [community]" is a little rude. The gradm package was already deleted from the AUR. On the linux-pax-flags AUR package, Daniel commented that I would have to change it to work according to his plans. I want to mention another step, that would be necessary for a decent integration of grsecurity and full ASLR: The activation of PIE/PIC. This has been discussed a little on the Arch Linux BBS [3]. Allan stated that "If there is a good way to add it for x86_64, it will be considered." Maybe it is possible to come up with a good way.

[arch-general] system-config-printer: conflicting files
by Kyle Terrien 18 Apr '14

18 Apr '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello fellow Archers, I received the following error while upgrading system-config-printer: > error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) > system-config-printer: /usr/share/system-config-printer/debug.pyc > exists in filesystem Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded. Apparently, at some point python automatically compiled debug.py into debug.pyc to increase long term performance. However, the new package has debug.pyc presupplied. The solution was to delete debug.pyc, then everything installs cleanly and works fine. Of course, this begs the question: Should a compiled python module be supplied in a package (debug.pyc), or should the local machine interpret/compile/do whatever it wants with a python script (debug.py)? - --Kyle -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJTUH7GAAoJEN5rMzXPJBsQvwkP/jrjwgfai7jUTTFI980qQdaM nu6u/kms6Ys72uJIvxF3a0b94ZprbLe6bjshzCBW0fJuBHrZ+Deb1Xdt2i10b3pV O/JgZzYMsICVqF2MYdn+GZ9T/GYkLpzLWctwBCnHwQKABIw+T5Jk4CwdNLTnd4V5 pmxynMi/A3RzYFsxFQLcNK6a1sk/FhVmwDSAk5WB2feKjf/i614dH8Uf0aJxRcq+ LFg+eFndpEpMp77j0DnxcTwAR6RzdE19NCNf9rfBvctGpyE2nzdYE8bcof66mLoB yWR2jmRC2CYwOxU556I+Bg4TIGy4SQunqkc0hKEG+nQ6/xSOV72CF7ZCFBOKrLsW 8rGPHDNXFFbLeE6kcR+hnEYaKjLTLn+o+BwV9CJSB3l3aCXpoBCJ9kDiEPEfPR6h mZwP77BpBUMTfclTYL/F2mR0NDd4615CWxXd6wHXGCex+WrA4FTyGqGQgUvPa5Bu 9yB/oMyLthgGL9S5CN0N2VcRdPQB4X44DhUieOMqWAO+KVKmJGfohkCRRHy7UOCY JLh8dkA9JBnoeQ9wLFXn7ibSFxJAVfUeddnmsKOaRnVSGVjGuKYbb9IcFQ/xcfBa ghnTIOk6l15Rrzd9pxfoXSDz8eIeC9UWGQN13Q6waD1gOjZVPS2rgmM2vNpYzT5M iyOEOWaj6AVvni9eADE1 =tWUo -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[arch-general] Problem with Wifi Connections (Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG Connection)
by Sean Snell 17 Apr '14

17 Apr '14

Hi everybody, First, this is on a Lenovo X61 laptop. This is a fresh installation on a new SSD hard drive I recently purchased. I already have a 500GB hard drive with Arch and Windows dual booting on it, and the Wifi still works just fine from the old installation when I reinstalled the old hard drive for testing, but for the life of me I cannot get wifi-menu to connect to any wifi connections on this new installation. The card is a Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG. Per the wireless wiki<https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_network_configuration#iwlegacy>, I've installed linux-firmware so I can use the iwlegacy (driver?). With the help of a friend, we feel the modules are loading correctly, but when we try to actually connect using wifi-menu, journalctl -xn says the following: \\\\\\\\\\\ - Unit netctl(a)wls3\x2dNEOPCS\x2dSecured.service has begun starting up. Starting network profile 'wls3-NEOPCS-Secured'...

[arch-general] bumblebee: only working every other time

16 Apr '14

I've finally gotten around to installing and configuring bumblebee. It's working, sort of. It's rather weird because it only works every other time: ~~~~ % cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch 0000:01:00.0 OFF % primusrun glxspheres64 primus: fatal: Bumblebee daemon reported: error: [XORG] (EE) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0.

The next run of `primusrun` fails, usually with the message ~~~~ % primusrun glxspheres64 primus: fatal: Bumblebee daemon reported: error: [XORG] (EE) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file. ~~~~ the next run works. And so on. Very strange behaviour I think. And the $SEARCH_ENGINE doesn't really offer any help either, most people seem to have the problem that it never works, not that it works 50% of the times :( Any and all help much appreciated. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves. -- Alan Kay

Hi, do I miss options for the preferences or doesn't gedit provide a menu bar and window buttons anymore? A menu bar might be something to argue, since it's part of the app, but the window buttons are provided by the window manager I decided to use. Will this happen to other editors, such as pluma and other apps too? Disgusting! Doers it make sense to send a veto to upstream or is it wanted by most users? Regards, Ralf

[arch-general] Bluetooth keyword layout in Gnome 3.12
by Mikhail Strizhov 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

After Gnome 3.10 -> 3.12 upgrade my Bluetooth keyboard layout became crazy. There are no English letters, instead it types some numbers. Sounds silly, but if I press in gedit letter "p" is prints "*", "o" is "6", "l" is "3", "q", "w" and others do out output anything. The keyboard is visible in Bluetooth settings. I also tried to delete the keyword settings and reconnect it and it was successful, layout is still incorrect. Any ideas?

by Marek Otahal 15 Apr '14

Hello, I've lost content of /var, other partitions are ok, so system somewhat boots up (to recovery mode). What is the less pain method to get it again up and running? The problem I see are pacman list of installed packages? Any other notes on what important things could be missing? Thank you very much for any help, Mark PS: no backups :-/ -- Marek Otahal :o)

[arch-general] Bumblebee + NVIDIA Binary driver broken after Linux 3.14
by Pavan Yalamanchili 14 Apr '14

14 Apr '14

Hi Everyone, I am not sure which part of this particular combination is broken, but after an update today I was unable to use my NVIDIA GPU. Reverting back to an older version of the kernel and the relevant driver packages fixed the issue. I have created the following bug report. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/39848 Has anyone seen a similar problem ? -- Pavan

[arch-general] Btrfs RAID1 corrupted after crash
by Maximilian Bräutigam 14 Apr '14

14 Apr '14

Dear all, unfortunately, I am very very deperate and I highly appreciate any help. One week ago, I move my entire system to btrfs to setup a RAID1. I created the RAID between device /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc with no partition table on normal HDDs. Everything was working smoothly until my computer crashed and at reboot I was not able to mount the device (my home dir) again and got the following messages: [ 125.834802] BTRFS info (device sdc): disk space caching is enabled [ 130.600101] BTRFS error (device sdc): block group 1268688879616 has wrong amount of free space [ 130.600113] BTRFS error (device sdc): failed to load free space cache for block group 1268688879616 [ 130.751274] BTRFS critical (device sdc): corrupt leaf, slot offset bad: block=1268477591552,root=1, slot=137 [ 130.751659] BTRFS critical (device sdc): corrupt leaf, slot offset bad: block=1268477591552,root=1, slot=137 So I cleared the cache with trying the mount option clear_cache, but it stayed problematic and I was not able to mount it: [ 368.159594] BTRFS: error (device sdc) in __btrfs_free_extent:5755: errno=-5 IO failure [ 368.159602] BTRFS: error (device sdc) in btrfs_run_delayed_refs:2713: errno=-5 IO failure [ 368.165584] BTRFS warning (device sdc): Skipping commit of aborted transaction. [ 368.165589] BTRFS: error (device sdc) in cleanup_transaction:1545: errno=-5 IO failure [ 368.165787] BTRFS: error (device sdc) in open_ctree:2839: errno=-5 IO failure (Failed to recover log tree) [ 368.227161] BTRFS: open_ctree failed Now, if I tried to mount it manually with degraded option enabled: # mount -t btrfs -o degraded /dev/sdb /mnt/sonst/ mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so. Now I run btrfsck with repair option enabled but still I cannot mount it. Here you can find the dmesg and btrfsck outputs: dmesg: http://pastebin.com/zsaKQ0h1 btrfsck: http://pastebin.com/xva6uJwT Please, help me! ;( Are there other options to investigate my RAID or to even temporarily mount it to get some data? What went wrong here? What can I do? Why is a simple crash making my RAID unusable? Can I use other tools for a recovery? Again, every help is highly appreciated. Best wishes, Max PS: Archlinux, linux-3.14-5, btrfs-progs-3.14-1

[arch-general] sound in gnome, none in xfce
by message 13 Apr '14

13 Apr '14

Readers, In gnome, sound is enabled and can be adjusted via the keyboard function keys (e.g. fn + ^). This doesn't work in xfce. What is the cause in this different behaviour and any ideas how to solve please?
