[arch-general] Eclipse-cdt updates
by Alexandre Ferrando 06 Apr '12

06 Apr '12

In the past few days I've noticed something kind of strange with eclipse-cdt on the packages page [ 0 ]. Also this can be seen if you follow the rss feed for updates. A few times every day since april 1st or so the eclipse-cdt package gets updated or downgraded from 8.0.1-2 to 8.0.2-1 and vice-versa. The last commit on the SVN page shows the PKGBUILD for 8.0.2-1 [ 1 ] I tend to update once a day, but in any of those updates I've got 8.0.2-1, as if that version didn't reach the mirrors. Has anyone else noticed something like this or knows what is happening there? Just asking, Alex.

[arch-general] Parallels 7 Tools
by Joshua Poehls 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

I just installed Arch in Parallels 7 following the beginner's guide on the wiki. Went great and I'm up and running (without xorg so far). I want to install the Parallels Tools but I'm having some problems. I've mounted the tools but the install script is failing with a rather generic error "Some components are missing, do you want to try and download?" -> "Installer cannot detect package manager...". I found the wiki page for Parallels ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Parallels) but it isn't helping me so far. Has anyone gotten this to work? Any help would be great. Thanks! -- Joshua Poehls

[arch-general] how many virtual machines

04 Apr '12

hello I currently host my personal webpage from a virtual machine at my house. I am looking to add a mailserver as well as an irc server. however I don't know if I should be using a separate vmachine for each service. I am more concerned about security than resource use. however the publicly reachable IP I have is through an external vpn provider (i believe it is strong vpn). any ideas suggestions would be appreciated.

[arch-general] Lock at shutdown with some kernels
by XeCycle 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

Hello, I've been using Arch 64 for a year or so, and I remember several times (roughly 5) I have shutdown issues with the latest kernel (at the time). The system is locked at shutdown, I can do nothing but to press the power button to force a power off. I am very sure it is locked --- NumLock doesn't even respond. And it doesn't return to tty as it would otherwise. It came to me again. This time I decided to have linux-lts installed. I'm curious, why is the problem always about shutdown? Is this bug from upstream or Arch patches? I don't have other distros installed by now though. Btw, how does linux-lts differ from linux? I found the -lts one boots very slow for me, got stuck at "Waiting for UDev uevents to be processed" for quite some time, around 30 sec. With linux it's similar, but not so long. I have this issue when I use vga_switcheroo, to switch between Intel graphics and ATI card.

[arch-general] Can you test machine to set --jobs[=N] from w/i PKGBUILD?
by David C. Rankin 02 Apr '12

02 Apr '12

Guys, Is there any way to check the number of cores on a machine to set the number of jobs within a PKGBUILD?: make -j'X' I have some dual-core and some quad-core boxes and the difference between -j2 and -j4 on build time is tremendous. However, for generically creating a source package to be used by someone else, I can't hardcode the jobs number. Anyway to test in pkgbuild or is this just a per box makepkg.conf issue? -- David C.

[arch-general] Note on Trinity R14 (3.5.14)
by David C. Rankin 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

Guys, There will be an upcoming release of TDE 3.5.14 in the next few months and I have worked to update the build system for Arch. All packages below are building on current libraries. The only AUR base package utilized is HAL. I will update the wiki with current information after the remaining PKGBUILD development is complete. Many bugs have been fixed and enhancements added. The desktop is significantly faster than 3.5.10, 3.5.12 or 3.5.13 without any additional bloat. See trinitydesktop.org for the latest info. If you have any interest in contributing, please feel free to join Calvin, Pawell, Baho and I on the project. The current list of packages building is: tde-abakus tde-arts tde-dbus-1-tqt tde-dbus-tqt tde-dolphin tde-gtk-qt-engine tde-kgtk-qt3 tde-kio-locate tde-kipi-plugins tde-kpowersave tde-libart-lgpl tde-libcaldav tde-libcarddav tde-libkdcraw tde-libkexiv2 tde-libkipi tde-libksquirrel tde-python-tqt tde-rosegarden tde-sip (replaces sip) tde-sip4-tqt (replaces python2-sip) tde-tde-style-qtcurve tde-tdeaddons tde-tdeartwork tde-tdebase (with upower) tde-tdegames tde-tdegraphics tde-tdelibs tde-tdemultimedia tde-tdenetwork tde-tdepim tde-tdesvn tde-tdetoys tde-tdeutils tde-tdevelop tde-tdewebdev tde-tqca-tls tde-tqt3 tde-tqtinterface tde-wlassistant That is a majority of the desktop and it is truly a joy to use. Currently I have a development build script for building. Once R14 is released, I will revise it to build from traditional pkgbuild.src.tz files and make that available for anyone interested. I don't know if kaiting still has server space, but I have binary packages for both i686 and x86_64 that I can make available for testing. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] usermove update
by Tom Gundersen 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

Hi guys, The recent updates of kmod, systemd and udev in testing moves /lib/{systemd,udev,modprobe.d,depmod.d} to /usr/. The old location will, for the time being, continue to work for config files (as well as udev rules and systemd unit files). However, helper programs installed to /lib/{systemd,udev} will have to be moved to /usr/lib. This has been done for all the official packages, but third-party packages will have to be updated. Cheers, Tom

[arch-general] Funny issue with bash-completion and __git_ps1
by martin kalcher 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Hey hey After the last bash-completion and git update there is a funny issue with the Git Prompt [1]: __git_ps1 is not defined The bash-completion update moved most completion scripts to /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ and sources them if needed. See line 1933 in: /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion __git_ps1 is defined in: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git So if you type 'git pul<TAB>' this file gets sourced and the error disappears. I worked around this by sourcing this file manually in my .bashrc My question is, where i should report this bug. Is it a git problem or a bash-completion problem. I think its a git issue, because __git_ps1 is no complete function and should be defined somewhere else... Or shall i shut my mouth and continue sourcing it in my .bashrc?

Guys, On update today of an i686 box, I get the following unresolved error with pacman -Syu: error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: ati-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2 :: intel-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2 :: mach64-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2 :: mga-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2 :: r128-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2 :: savage-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2 :: sis-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2 :: tdfx-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2 Is this just a timing issue with the dri files? -- David C.

[arch-general] fsck on each boot?
by gt 26 Mar '12

26 Mar '12

I recently added the fsck hook to mkinitcpio.conf after seeing it being recommended in the forums. I don't have a separate /usr though. Anyway, now after every boot i see: performing fsck on <root-device> It shows up clean, and happens in a flash of a second. So my question is that is the hook supposed to perform fsck everytime? Earlier (without the hook), it used to happen only on unclean shutdowns. -- O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org

[arch-general] makepkg/PKGBUILD - handle same files provided by 2 non-dependent packages?
by David C. Rankin 26 Mar '12

26 Mar '12

Guys, I need to know if makepkg/PKGBUILD can handle a check to see whether the same files provided by two different packages (which are not dependencies of each other) exist in the file system to prevent an installation failure due to conflicting files? The situation is this. Both tdesdk and tdesvn both provide: /opt/trinity/share/services/svn+file.protocol /opt/trinity/share/services/svn+http.protocol /opt/trinity/share/services/svn+https.protocol /opt/trinity/share/services/svn+ssh.protocol /opt/trinity/share/services/svn.protocol Since neither package is a dependency for the other, tdesvn needs to provide the files if tdesdk isn't installed and tdesdk needs to provide the files if tdesvn isn't installed, but avoid the conflict if both are installed. Is this possible? If they were dependencies of each other, then that would be an easy fix. If both were assured to be installed, that would also be an easy fix by rm'ing the files from one package or the other, but in the case when either or both can be installed -- How do you handle this?? Thanks for any ideas you have. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] aria2c left a mess on system
by Jude DaShiell 25 Mar '12

25 Mar '12

I've now cleared it off, but what had happened was a download of an iso with a torrent file and afterwards the iso had a unique inode it couldn't be checked with md5sum because md5sum claimed it didn't exist. I didn't even try it with the asc file since md5sum didn't work. Also the file command couldn't find the iso file either. This was the case for both root and a user doing the checks and the file permissions were set to 640 for both the root and user accounts yet neither could check the file. I've had situations with aria2c where it has crashed and died with exceptions on this machine in the past too. After all of that aggravation, I cleared the whole mess off my system and am about to deep six aria2c for good measure. The original bittorrent is no better and in many ways worse so if I do anything with that type of download again I'll either have to find me a 3rd linux alternative that can run from the command line or just use free download manager on windows to get it done. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jude <jdashiel-at-shellworld-dot-net> <http://www.shellworld.net/~jdashiel/nj.html>

[arch-general] Some synaptics multitouch functionality lost on upgrade
by Scott Lawrence 24 Mar '12

24 Mar '12

MacbookPro5,4. After an upgrade a few days ago, which included an update to xf86-input-synaptics-1.5.99.901-1, I've lost the ability to right click by clicking with two fingers. Interestingly, I can still right-click by /tapping/ with two fingers, and everything else is working unaffected (including two-finger scrolling). Any hints as to what triggered the change, and how to fix it? Various searches shed no light on this. Nothing interesting is in Xorg.0.log, xinput's output seems ordinary, and I don't see any options offered by synclient that would change this behaviour. Anywhere else to look? (I'm about to try enabling shmconfig and see what synclient -m gives.) (I'm not a fan of mtrack at all; I'd much rather get the input-synaptics stuff working properly again.)

[arch-general] arch chroot - makepkg.conf - Howto unset $PKGDEST, $SRCDEST, etc...
by David C. Rankin 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

Guys, I experimented with different locations for PKGDEST, SRCDEST, etc. and now I just want to have the finished package left in the default directory where the PKGBUILD is located. However, when I comment out the PKGDEST, SRCDEST and SRCPKGDEST, the finished packages still show up in the last set PKGDEST directory. Where do I remove this information from the chroot cache so everything is reset to the default and finished packages are left in the original PKGBUILD directory? Also, do I have to edit both $CHROOT/root and $CHROOT/david, or just $CHROOT/david makepkg.conf? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] makechrootpkg -d goes in repo.db why not local.db consistent with DevWiki?
by David C. Rankin 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

Guys, I have followed the DeveloperWiki:Building in a Clean Chroot page closely for the trinity build and it has worked fine. For major rebuilds it has you create a local.db.tar.gz in /root/repo as a local repo. However, I was experimenting with makechrootpkg -d and it suggest it will add the package to the local /repo, but instead it creates /root/repo/repo.db. Why not local.db? Looking at the developer wiki and then looking at the help file for makechrootpkg: -d Add the package to a local db at /repo after building I expected both to be consistent. Is there a reason for the difference? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Anyone willing to share experiences running Arch on a current-gen MacBook Pro?
by Ankur Sethi 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

Hi, I'm in the market for a high-end development + gaming machine (dual boot). I've been a Mac user for the last 4 years and I'm used to their hardware, so I'm naturally considering a MacBook Pro as one of my options. My old white MacBook from 2008 runs Arch very well, but can the newer unibody MacBook Pros run it? More specifically, I'm looking at the 2.4GHz model (MD322LL/A) on this page: http://www.apple.com/in/macbookpro/specs.html Here are some things I'm particulary worried about: 1. Does suspend/resume work? 2. Does WiFi work? Does it work even after you suspend/resume? 3. Can I boot the Arch installer from USB? This is a big one, since the optical drives in MacBooks _always_ fail after a few months of use. 4. Does multi-touch work? If not, is the trackpad at least usable without multi-touch support? 5. Does that AMD card play well with Linux? If not, is there a way to tell the machine to ignore the discrete GPU and always use Intel HD Graphics? 6. Does the keyboard backlight work? What about the ambient light sensors? Audio? Webcam? I know there are many guides for installing Arch on a Mac, and I've read a lot of them, but none of them go on to mention how pleasant (or unpleasant!) their long-term experience with Linux on Mac has been. Is it worth all the trouble? Is it usable for doing actual work? Do things randomly stop working if you upgrade your firmware? Do the Apple Store employees try to wipe your Linux partition when you take your machine in for repairs? Too many questions, I know. I've been saving up for a decent machine for a year now, so I'm naturally anxious about making the right choice :) -- Ankur Sethi

[arch-general] Troubleshooting suspend
by Scott Lawrence 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

I'm trying to get suspend (with pm-utils) working on a MacbookPro5,4, and everytime I try to resume (after suspend-to-ram), I just get a black screen, with nothing working (typing the keys which should shut down doesn't shut down, so I assume everything's pretty much dead). The fan is on though, so it's not just shut down. After rebooting, I find that nothing was written to the log file after a message saying that suspend was succesfull. Any tips on how to troubleshoot this? I've tried everything that looks relevant on the wiki, but nothing fixed it, or even got it to the point of printing to logs. -- Scott Lawrence Linux jagadai 3.2.12-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Mar 19 17:50:01 CET 2012 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8700 @ 2.53GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

[arch-general] does makechrootpkg -I handle provides() replaces() ?
by David C. Rankin 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

Guys, I'm having difficulty with makechrootpkg not allowing replacement of current packages in the chroot even though then new packages are built with provides() and replaces() to handle the conflict. Specifically the trinity project provides source for sip4 that has additional hooks in the package for the tqt interface. I have modeled the PKGBUILD on the existing sip PKGBUILD to build split packages for both python and python2. In the build I call my version of sip 'tde-sip' and my version of python2-sip 'tde-sip4-tqt'. In the split package build I do: package_tde-sip() { pkgdesc="The TDE SIP C/C++ Bindings Generator for Python3 - Trinity upstream GIT version" depends=('python') provides=('sip' 'python-sip') replaces=('sip' 'python-sip') cd "${srcdir}/sipPy3" make DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install install -Dm644 LICENSE "${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/LICENSE" } However, when I go to install the package in the chroot with: sudo makechrootpkg -r $CHROOT -I tde-sip-3513_tqt-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz I get: error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) tde-sip: /usr/bin/sip exists in filesystem tde-sip: /usr/include/python3.2mu/sip.h exists in filesystem tde-sip: /usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages/sip.so exists in filesystem tde-sip: /usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages/sipconfig.py exists in filesystem tde-sip: /usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages/sipdistutils.py exists in filesystem Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded. The same error occurs with the python2-sip replacement. I know those files conflict with files in the tde-sip package. That's why I did provides=('sip' 'python-sip') and replaces=('sip' 'python-sip'). Is this just one of the limitations of the chroot install process? Is the solution to start-over by cleaning the chroot and insure that tde-sip is installed before any other package that pulls sip in as a dependency? Thanks for any help you can offer. How the provides() and replaces() work in the archroot is a bit of a mystery to me. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] How to download .sigs into CacheDir with pacman
by Dennis 'Gyroplast' Herbrich 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

Greetings everyone! I am constructing a local, common repository of packages aggregated from core, extra and community, named 'default' for discussion's sake. This local repository shall be a "frozen" state of a (virtual) machine's package installation, to ensure a common package status across all machines which are using this local repository to upgrade. The idea behind this is to setup an internally tested "baseline" or "stable release" repository for certain clients. Basically, I want to shove 'pacman -Q' output into my magic bash script on my personal testing machine where all necessary updates are installed, and have a shiny repository ready for use fall out at the end. This is working nicely already, except for one thing that bothers me greatly: I haven't found a way to reliably download the official package signature files along with the packages themselves through creative use of pacman. I do not REALLY want to fetch the .sig files in another step from the mirror I am using, as that'd require me to construct package FILE names myself instead of just throwing pacman a "core/filesystem=2012.2-2" and let pacman figure out my architecture and download location. I DO want to have package signing available for my local copy, though. Is there a way to grab the .sig files along with the package files with pacman, and place them somewhere neat as the CacheDir, for instance? Any help or ideas are appreciated! Best regards, Dennis

Sounds like a good idea as well, at least for packages that are easy to maintain ("easy" meaning that upstream releases don't require much more work than bumping the pkgver and updating checksums).

[arch-general] pacman ignore packages by pattern?
by XeCycle 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Hello, Is it possible for pacman to ignore packages by a pattern like --ignore xorg-*? I remember the painful days I've spent when using catalyst, so I switched to xf86-video-ati, so as not to be bothered by xorg packages. --ignoregroup xorg won't work perfectly, since not all xorg packages belong to that group. But some packages do need to be in sync with xorg-server, e.g. xorg-server-common. It will be handy if I can just put "IgnorePkg = xorg-*" in my /etc/pacman.conf. Thank you. -- Carl Lei (XeCycle) Department of Physics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University OpenPGP public key: 7795E591 Fingerprint: 1FB6 7F1F D45D F681 C845 27F7 8D71 8EC4 7795 E591

[arch-general] Can't boot, root device not found
by Josh Silard 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Hi list, I recently performed an update of udev and my kernel and after this I am unable to boot the normal kernel or the fallback. When I try I get this error: ERROR: Unable to find root device '/dev/disk/by-uid/03619a2f-908f-4724-ba4b-1fb3985e382b' You are being dropped to a recovery shell Type 'exit' to try and continue booting sh: can't access tty; job control turned off Typing exit results in me dropping to another shell and if done repeatedly a kernel panic. I attempted to boot via the grub console using the sda device block but I came up with the same error. When I look in /dev through the recovery console that comes up the sda* blocks aren't present. I need to know if there is a way to do this without entirely reformatting my system, I also don't have easy access to another computer but I have an android phone. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Josh

[arch-general] ../libtool: line 2083: ark_part.cpp: command not found?
by David C. Rankin 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

Guys, I need help, or a link, to find out why libtool isn't working. libtool is attempting to use an undeclared variable as a command. The libtool file generated includes (beginning at line 2071): # func_to_tool_file ARG LAZY # converts the file name ARG from $build format to toolchain format. Return # result in func_to_tool_file_result. If the conversion in use is listed # in (the comma separated) LAZY, no conversion takes place. func_to_tool_file () { $opt_debug case ,$2, in *,"$to_tool_file_cmd",*) func_to_tool_file_result=$1 ;; *) $to_tool_file_cmd "$1" func_to_tool_file_result=$func_to_host_file_result ;; esac } # end func_to_tool_file The tdeutils build fails at make on the very first file (ark_part.cpp). The line that fails is line 2083: 2083| $to_tool_file_cmd "$1" The problem is '$to_tool_file_cmd' is never declared in 'libtool' resulting in the error: ../libtool: line 2083: ark_part.cpp: command not found Basically, libtool is trying to execute 'ark_part.cpp' as the command since '$to_tool_file_cmd' is never declared or initialized and is just blank in the command '$to_tool_file_cmd "$1"'. What I need to learn is whether this is a libtool problem or whether it is a tdeutils problem. tdeutils from the same source builds fine on slack, debian, etc.., so I wonder if this is a libtool version problem or something similar. I am building in an arch chroot and he PKGBUILD file used does: cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname#*-} cp /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 ./admin cp /usr/share/libtool/config/ltmain.sh ./admin make -f admin/Makefile.common ./configure \ --prefix=${TDEDIR} \ --with-qt-dir=${QTDIR} \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --localstatedir=/var \ --enable-debug=full \ --enable-closure make The complete error, which I don't fully understand is: /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -I/opt/trinity/include -I/opt/tqt3/include -I. -include tqt.h -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -Wno-long-long -Wundef -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wchar-subscripts -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -fno-builtin -g3 -fno-inline -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wno-non-virtual-dtor -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -I/usr/include/tqt -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_COMPAT -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION -MT ark_part.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/ark_part.Tpo -c -o ark_part.lo ark_part.cpp ../libtool: line 2083: ark_part.cpp: command not found I have also tried 'make SHELL=/bin/bash' after googling that the environment could cause shell extension issues if part was done with bash and make was using sh, but that made no difference. Anybody familiar with libtool know if this is a libtool problem or if this is a problem with the tdeutil code? If it is libtool, any work-arounds? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Erlang R15B
by Kevin Arthur 18 Mar '12

18 Mar '12

Hello! I noticed that Erlang recently got moved from extra to community, and was flagged as out-of-date. I think someone mentioned R15B, the latest release, on this list about a month ago, but it doesn't look like it went anywhere. I've attached a patch that will update the PKGBUILD to the latest version. The ejabberd package will need to be rebuilt, but doesn't require any other changes (I've tested it, and it's working fine). The couchdb and yaws packages will probably have to be rebuilt too, although they've both been marked out-of-date as well. Could one of the developers update the package? Thanks! Kevin Arthur

I don't know if you guys ever encontered this problem while using sshfs. I set up a virtual machine to do some PKGBUILD makepking stuff, because some dependcies need bo be installed and I do not want messed up my host machine. So, I set up a sshfs filesystem connect from a virtualbox arch guest to my arch host. Every thing works fine, but each time I ran to following command, the sshfs just hangs up with the same error bellow. Then, I have to remount it again to get it working. command: find . -name Makefile -print | xargs sed -i "s:/usr/bin/install:/bin/install:g" error: sed: cannot remove ./maintscripts/sedP7sQnH: Transport endpoint is not connected Here is my sshfs mount command: sshfs -o sshfs_sync,no_readahead,sshfs_debug,port=64,idmap=user,reconnect,allow_other,workaround=all techlive@home:/home/abs /home/abs I have tested both following, they are all failed. sshfs -o port=64,idmap=user,reconnect,allow_other,workaround=all techlive@home:/home/abs /home/abs sshfs -o port=64,idmap=user,allow_other techlive@home:/home/abs /home/abs I have googled a lot, but none of them could help.

[arch-general] Firefox fonts are not anti-aliased after installing xorg-fonts-100dpi
by Ankur Sethi 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

Hi, I recently installed emacs-color-theme from AUR which, for some reason, required xorg-fonts-100dpi. After installing xorg-fonts-100dpi, some websites in Firefox no longer have antialiased fonts. For example, this is what the Mozilla Developer Center looks like on my computer: http://imagebin.org/203464 I see the same issue on Twitter, Hacker News and several blogs. Removing xorg-fonts-100dpi fixes the issue. I've checked my installed pacakges and I have all the web fonts that are recommended by the Arch Wiki. In any case, I don't think missing fonts are the issue here. The same websites that look wonky in Firefox work well on both Chrome and Opera. Secondly, the emacs-color-theme package from AUR works just fine without xorg-fonts-100dpi. I don't understand why that is listed as a dependency in the PKGBUILD. So can someone enlighten me? Why does emacs-color-theme require xorg-fonts-100dpi, and why does installing xorg-fonts-100dpi make Firefox sad? -- Ankur Sethi

[arch-general] grub2 efi image files
by Carsten Mattner 13 Mar '12

13 Mar '12

Hi, I could swear that some time back some version of archboot media gave me the choice to select grub2-efi-32-bit. Was this dropped? I've been trying to install arch only (single boot) on a EFI-32 mac. Due to not being able to convinve (bless) rEFIt without having OS X installed to not come up with a delay of >= 20seconds, I wanted to use EFI. The mac has onboard intel i915 graphics which I know to work out of the box. Would this give me any issues like the nvidia guys with using EFI? What is the exact issue I have to be careful about to not brick the firmware with EFI? I know I shouldn't use efitbootmgr on mac efi. What else is dangerous? Thanks, Carsten

Besides, I don't want to symlink .mozilla/thunderbird to .thunderbird, that won't solve the problem, I am willing to recomplie the whole thunderbird if necessary. Regards, Techlive Zheng

[arch-general] Compiling qt-4.8rc1 from [testing] fails

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello list, The latest qt-package in testing broke one of the applications I am working on at the moment. It compiles fine, but crashes during runtime, so I tried to compile qt with debug symbols.

[arch-general] arch as virtualbox guest - gpm -> mouse cursor stuck in middle of console?
by David C. Rankin 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

Guys, IIRC, gpm used to work fine in archlinux when arch was installed as a guest os in virtualbox (virtualbox-bin 4.1.8-1). I have always used the same options with gpm: gpm -m /dev/input/mice -t imps2 -a 3 Now when I start gpm and click in the virtualbox console window, all I get is a single cursor (character cell) in the center of the console. If I double-click, then the line with the cursor on in highlights, but I can never move the cursor from the middle. I've tried all other -t msX types. I've also tried -t ps2 which gives the same behavior as imps2. I've check the wiki Console_Mouse_Support and googled gpm cursor won't move, etc.. and haven't found anything relevant. Anybody see this behavior before or know of a workaround? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] `multicat` package added to AUR
by Sébastien Leblanc 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

Hi, I made a PKGBUILD for VideoLAN's multicat utility. It is a content-agnostic (optimized for MPEG TS) uni/multicast streaming software suite. It is often considered a multicast version of the netcat utility. It is very lightweight: a compiled package weighs 41K It is available on the AUR under the name `multicat`. >From their website: > Simple and efficient multicast and transport stream manipulation > The multicat package contains a set of tools designed to easily and efficiently manipulate multicast streams in general, and MPEG-2 Transport Streams (ISO/IEC 13818-1) in particular. > The multicat suite of applications is very lightweight and designed to operate in tight environments. Memory and CPU usages are kept to a minimum, and they feature only one thread of execution.

[arch-general] git software: howto remove files from history and its objects
by F. Gr. 12 Mar '12

Are these the right commands? git filter-branch -d /dir1/subdir/ --index-filter 'git rm --cached -f --ignore-unmatch' -- --all rm -rf /git_repo/.git/refs/remotes/origin git reflog expire --expire=0 --all git gc --aggressive --prune=0 then (perhaps :-) I can push to my remote repository. I haven't tried the above commands yet because I don't want to break my repository.

[arch-general] apparently bash export is broken for users
by Jude DaShiell 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

I tried setting up emacspeak and emacspeak needs two variables exported to the user's .profile file in order to work. The EMACSPEAK_DIR variable needs to point at the location of emacspeak and DTK_PROGRAM needs to point at the speech server you intend to use. The export commands did not create a .profile file for me nor did they update a .profile file for me with their contents in it. Using echo to create and populate the .profile also has no good effect. I'm about to use git to pull the current version of emacspeak down onto this system and try with that but I downloaded and built eflite and emacspeak that's on this machine from the aur repository. Fortunately, I can test emacspeak on debian without much difficulty and may need to check out where debian stores those export variables since the debian version I have made work in the past. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jude <jdashiel-at-shellworld-dot-net> <http://www.shellworld.net/~jdashiel/nj.html>

[arch-general] Package signing: database signatures?
by Christian Hesse 11 Mar '12

11 Mar '12

Hello everybody, afaik, database files in official repositories are not signed yet. Are they? This forces one to set SigLevel to 'Optional' instead of 'Required'. Now if anybody wants to provide an infected package he/she only needs to provide no signature at all and the package is happily accepted, no? So when will database files from official packages be signed? And even more interesting: Does it make sense to add a new option 'PkgRequired'? This could force valid signatures for packages and make it optional for database files. -- Best regards, Chris O< ascii ribbon campaign stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org

[arch-general] problem with pulseaudio when resuming from pm-suspend
by XeCycle 10 Mar '12

Hello, I use pulseaudio on my laptop. I start it by `start-pulseaudio-x11` in something like .xinitrc (I use a standalone wm with lxdm). When I resume from pm-suspend, the system beeper issues several beeps; when I open a urxvt, a bash completion failure will issue a beep too. However when any program that talks to pulseaudio starts (or try again to talk to it), e.g. start pavucontrol, everything is normal again. Any help is appreciated.

[arch-general] 'Please enter summary' issue in our bugtracker

I can assume that 'Please enter summary' text was included in the bug report template to remind people they should enter a summary of the bug they're reporting and not just "tag" it with e.g. '[arptables]'. I don't know when exactly was this introduced, but in the past month I've noticed several bug reports with titles like '[arptables] PLEASE ENTER SUMMARY'. The titles have sometimes been fixed by the person the reports got assigned to and 13 such reports out of over 500 is not bad: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28324 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28362 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28404 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28454 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28464 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28534 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28539 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28574 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28666 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28711 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28763 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28791 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28847 I think the design of our bug reports leaves something to be desired but upstream seems dead http://flyspray.org/ so we have to make do.

[arch-general] Weird Konqueror quirk
by David Rosenstrauch 10 Mar '12

10 Mar '12

Been seeing a weird quirk with KDE's konqueror recently. Was wondering if this is something unique to my personal configuration, or if it's an upstream bug that needs to be filed. Can some KDE user confirm? 1) Launch konqueror in file manager mode. e.g.: [darose@daroselin ~]$ konqueror /tmp 2) Go to the right pane, which lists the files in /tmp. Find an empty area in the pane and right-click on it. (i.e., don't right-click on a file) That pops up a menu. 3) Select "Create New". That pops up a sub-menu. 4) Select "Text File ...". That pops up a box to enter the file name. 5) Enter a file name of (for example) "foobar.txt". 6) The file that gets created is "foobar.txt.desktop". 7) WTF?!?!?!?!?!? Anyone else seeing this behavior too? Thanks, DR

[arch-general] Xorg 1.12 moves soon to testing for stabilization phase
by Andreas Radke 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

New Xorg has Xinput 2.2, Mesa 8.0 and many major library updates. Expect some bugs and broken packages. Most recent Xorg stuff is used in Fedora RawHide for a while where fixes can be found. Most noticeable changes will be: - Mesa 8.0 drops 3D support for some chips. These packages are gone now: unichrome-dri, mach64-dri, mga-dri, r128-dri, savage-dri, sis-dri, tdfx-dri - I couldn't find patches to get Xorg 1.12 support in xf86-video-sisemedia and xf86-video-xgi. Both should be of very low interest (not included in FC at all). We might drop them if no fix can be found. - State of closed drivers: Nvidia has a beta pkg out with Xorg 1.12 support. Let's pray it's already in usable state. Catalyst (AUR) users will stay in the dark as on every major Xorg release for a while. -Andy

[arch-general] archroot - proper way to Start Over? (rm -r $CHROOT/$USER)?
by David C. Rankin 07 Mar '12

Guys, What is the best way to clean a chroot without doing another mkarchroot? In the chroot I have /root and /david. With Trinity there are 2 different Qt dependencies that can be used Qt3 and TQt3. I have built a set of packages on Qt3, not I want to rebuild starting with TQt3. I don't want any stray dependency mismatches, so I want to start with a fresh chroot. I know I can just save my [local] repo and blow away the whole chroot and start over, but can I do just as well by deleting /david and then build my first package? Or, is it better to just start over with mkarchoot? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] sane - 'sane-config --libs' returns NON library information causing some CMake builds to fail - bug or feature?
by David C. Rankin 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

Guys, Ran into a big problem with sane 1.0.22-6 causing builds to fail due to the return of 'sane-config --libs' returning non-library flags which results in CMake botching the link config. From the sane-config man page: --libs Print the additional libraries that are necessary to link a SANE frontend to libsane. Currently, on arch, 'sane-config --libs' returns: 10:51 providence:~/bld/david> sane-config --libs -lsane -Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,--hash-style=gnu -L/usr/lib -lnetsnmp -lcrypto -lm -ldl -lv4l1 -lm -ltiff -ljpeg -lgphoto2 -lgphoto2_port -lm -lexif -lusb -lavahi-common -lavahi-client -lusb I don't know exactly why (I presume it has to do with the interpretation of the '--' information by CMake), but it results in run-together link strings: <snip> CMakeFiles/kscan-shared.dir/imgscaninfo.cpp.o -L/opt/trinity/lib -L/opt/tqt3/lib /opt/trinity/lib/libkio.so.4.2.0 -lsane-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,--hash-style=gnu-L/usr/lib -lnetsnmp -lcrypto -lm -ldl -lv4l1 -ltiff -ljpeg -lgphoto2 -lgphoto2_port -lexif -lusb -lavahi-common -lavahi-client /opt/trinity/lib/libtdeui.so.4.2.0 -lfreetype -lfontconfig /opt/trinity/lib/libtdesu.so.4.2.0 -lutil /opt/trinity/lib/libkwalletclient.so.1.0.1 /opt/trinity/lib/libtdecore.so.4.2.0 /opt/trinity/lib/libDCOP.so.4.2.0 /opt/trinity/lib/libtdefx.so.4.2.0 -ltqt -ltqt-mt -lXrender -lX11 -lz -lidn -lXcomposite -lICE -lSM -Wl,-rpath,/opt/trinity/lib:/opt/tqt3/lib: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsane-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,--hash-style=gnu-L/usr/lib collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Here the problem is the run-together: '-lsane-Wl'. What I need to know is this a "bug --or-- feature" on arch? Looking at the current sane in extra, this behavior isn't something that arch is configuring or patching. However, the string returned by sane-config --libs is the makepkg.conf string for $LDFLAGS plus the lib information for sane... What say the experts? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Hi folks, Regularly I do not use many Qt applications, mostly Skype. I run it over ssh tunnel from another computer within the same local network for long time.

[arch-general] fakeroot package() -> mkdir: cannot create directory : Permission denied

04 Mar '12

Guys, This is the first time I've seen makepkg not be able to create the $pkgdir/<dir> needed to package a file. I take it from the forum posts that this usually means that makepkg is trying to create the file in the actual filesystem instead of in the fakeroot $pkgdir.

[arch-general] ghc 7.4.1 moved to extra
by Thomas Dziedzic 03 Mar '12

03 Mar '12

I have finally moved the new ghc to arch repos. With this cleanup comes a bit of change. The decision has been made that ghc will be updated to the latest stable version and haskell-platform will be moved to the aur. This means you should remove the haskell-platform related packages before updating. I will also keep only essential packages and their dependencies related to haskell in [extra]. For now this means cabal-install and ghc + their depends. I have closed the following bugs with this release: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23247 - [ghc 7.0.2] ghci -package ghc causes panic https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27132 - [ghc] re-enable the strip makepkg option https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18917 - [ghc] ghc.install :: test if directory exists https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28758 - [haskell-text] uninstallable due to removal of haskell-deepseq https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25991 - haskell-glut: undefined references to pretty much all glut functions https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25072 - [alex][happy][cabal-install] missing makedepnds The following bugs are still open which I will fix as soon as cabal-install and darcs are buildable: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27249 - [cabal-install] Add bash completion support https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26955 - [darcs] missing makedependence haskell-hashed-storage<0.6 There are still some issues left with the current situation of haskell on arch, but these will take time and communication with upstream. *I need to figure out what to do about haddock since ghc only packages the binary and thus provides only half the package with ghc. This is the reason why we packaged haskell-haddock even though the ghc package already provides the haddock binary. *The post-install messages related to haskell packages can get pretty long. There is a proposed solution with a patch, but I need to figure out if there is any way we can work it out with upstream first. *There is no cabal-install or darcs version that is marked as stable and currently builds with ghc 7.4.1 These packages are statically linked so it shouldn't matter for now. I will be keeping an eye on these packages and waiting for upstream to provide new stable versions that builds against the latest ghc. Cheers!

[arch-general] Gringotts, alternatives?
by Magnus Therning 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

Gringotts has stopped working with a not completely uncommon error: ***MEMORY-ERROR***: [10817]: GSlice: failed to allocate 1008 bytes (alignment: 1024): Cannot allocate memory Given the time since the last release I'd be surprised if it's fixed any time soon. Also, I've never been extremely impressed with it so maybe this is a good time to look for an alternative. This means I now have two problems to solve, and any help on either would be appreciated: 1. How do I get the data out of the gringotts vault? Is there any other application that can read it and help me pull everything out? (I suppose I can always move the vault over to a Ubuntu box and extract it there, but I'd rather avoid that if possible ;-) 2. What alternatives to gringotts exist? What do other ArchLinux users keep their secret notes save? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus

[arch-general] mkinitcpio
by Myra Nelson 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

I don't think this is significant enough to warrant a bug. Since the linux-3.2.6-1 kernel updates ( I don't remeber which version of mkinitcpio, sorry), I've been getting the following warning when mkinitcpio runs during the kernel install: cp: warning: source file `/lib/modules/3.2.9-1-ARCH/kernel/fs/ext4/ext4.ko.gz' specified more than once I originally thought it was due to my inclusion of the mkinitcpio-numlock hook from the AUR, but I have a fresh install on a new machine, without the numlock hook and get the same warning. I searched the bug tracker and found no reference to this. /usr is not mounted on a separte partition. my box HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems usb usbinput fsck numlock" new box HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems usb usbinput fsck" Since it's a warning not an error and doesn't appear to have any deliterious effects, it's not a problem. I just wondered if it's something I'm doing or if it's something in the hooks in mkinitcpio. Ciao for now Myra -- Life's fun when your sick and psychotic!

[arch-general] Howto look outside chroot for local git tree?
by David C. Rankin 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

Guys, Is it possible to look outside of the chroot while building in an archroot from the PKGBUILD to check for a local copy of a git tree? Logically, what I want to do from inside the archroot is: (1) check for an existing git source in the ${srcdir} (if so, then use it) (if not, then...) (2) check for a local copy of the git tree outside chroot (if found) (3) change to that directory and update and copy to ${srcdir} (else) (4) clone new copy into ${srcdir} Is this even possible? I have made an attempt at implementing this, but I think I'm prevented from looking outside the chroot. Everything works except for (2) above. The check for the local copy always fails forcing a new clone into ${srcdir} instead of simply being able to update the local tree and copy to ${srcdir}. ## GIT repository variables and location _gitlocal="/home/david/tde/tde/main" _gitname="${pkgname#*-}" _gitdir="${_gitlocal}/dependencies/${_gitname}" _giturl="$url" _gitsfx="-git" _prefix="/opt/tde" build() { cd ${srcdir} <snip> ## update or clone from GIT msg "Checking for existing GIT source: $_gitname" if [ -d $_gitname ] ; then msg "Using existing source in: ${srcdir}/${_gitname}" else msg "Looking for local GIT tree: $_gitdir" if [ -d $_gitdir ] ; then msg "Updating local tree: $_gitdir" cd $_gitdir && { git pull git submodule init git submodule update --recursive git submodule foreach --recursive "git checkout master" git submodule foreach --recursive "git pull" } cd ${srcdir} && cp -a "$_gitdir" . msg "The local files are updated." else msg "Connecting to GIT server...." msg "Cloning new source from: $url" git clone --depth 1 $_giturl fi msg "GIT checkout done or server timeout" fi msg "Starting configure..." # ./configure \ msg "Building - ${pkgname}..." # make } The output from makechrootpkg is always the same even though the local copy of the git tree is present: ==> Making package: tde-libart-lgpl 1.3.2.4-1 (Wed Feb 29 23:55:20 UTC 2012) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> Retrieving Sources... ==> Extracting Sources... ==> Starting build()... ==> Checking for existing GIT source: libart-lgpl ==> Looking for local GIT tree: /home/david/tde/tde/main/dependencies/libart-lgpl ==> Connecting to GIT server.... ==> Cloning new source from: http://scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/libart-lgpl Cloning into 'libart-lgpl'... ==> GIT checkout done or server timeout ==> Starting configure... ==> Building - tde-libart-lgpl... ==> Entering fakeroot environment... ==> Starting package()... ==> Packaging - tde-libart-lgpl-1.3.2.4 Possible? Or would the solution be to set the local copy of the git tree up inside a apache (or whatever it takes) and pretend to run a local copy? Even then, there would be no way to check for its existence from inside the chroot? What say the experts? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Howto prevent LDFLAGS --sort-common, --as-needed, <snip>, --hash-style=gnu
by David C. Rankin 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Guys, I'm working on building kwin-style-crystal and I have patched acinclude.m4, aclocal.m4 and configure to remove references to --as-needed, but when I run configure, I still get the three unwanted LDFLAGS put back in the makefile somehow? Example: Makefile:LDFLAGS = -Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,--hash-style=gnu I just want it to read: Makefile:LDFLAGS = -Wl,-O1,-z,relro What magic autotool does this and how do I fix it? The flags show up in the Makefiles and the config.status file. I have completely searched the source code with grep -r and after patching none of the unwanted flags are present before starting the build. When the build craters, I check the Makefiles and config.status and the unwanted flags are back. This results in the build failing with: /bin/sh ../libtool --silent --mode=link --tag=CXX g++ -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,--hash-style=gnu -o embedtool -L/opt/trinity/lib -L/opt/qt3/lib -L/opt/trinity/lib/trinity embedtool.o -lqt-mt -lz -lpng -lz -lm -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE -lpthread g++: error: unrecognized option '--sort-common' g++: error: unrecognized option '--as-needed' g++: error: unrecognized option '--hash-style=gnu' What's the trick? Thanks. Extra info: For those interested, the source is: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=13969 and the patch I'm applying to try and get rid of the flags is: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/arch/src/crystal-1.patch -- David C.

Due to /var/run now is a tmp filesystem, so the path /var/run/* should not be packaged anymore. Instead, rc.script should take care aware create needed /var/run stuff. Otherwise, there are a missing wraning while running "pacman -Qk".

[arch-general] Using <Shift> + F1 on XFCE

Good morning. I have an Arch Linux x86_64 installation on my laptop, and I use a couple of programs that requires me to use <Shift> + F1 to start a few functions, but every time I do that I'm dropped to the Virtual Console, and then I have to use <Ctrl> + <Alt> + F7 to get back to XFCE. It is not possible to change the shortcuts of the softwares I use, so I need to disable this feature in XFCE, but so far I haven't found anything on Google/Arch Wiki. Any ideas of how to do that?

[arch-general] moving away from gnome
by Andrea Crotti 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

I would like to move away from Gnome, which I don't need at all since I only need to launch: - emacs - conkeror - thunderbird - gnome-terminal and I don't even use the menu but Alt-f2 for that. The main problem though is that on this laptop (a dell latitude E6420) if I'm not using gnome I can't make it suspend properly. The strange thing is that if I am in a gnome-session closing the lid or calling suspend from the gnome menu everything works. But if I fire up awesome only then closing the lid doesn't work anymore. So the question is, what is gnome magically firing up that other window managers don't? I would also like to try xmonad finally, but I've never been able to configure it yet. I have an ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs file (the default one copied) that compiles perfectly, but if I try a startx the screen just stays blank, without logging any error in the Xorg.0.log. Any idea of what it could be?

[arch-general] tab completion is mucking up prompt spacing - started a week or so ago - any ideas?
by David C. Rankin 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

All, I have always used the following prompt because it provides and immediate cut-n-paste for ssh or rsync directory information: User: PS1="\[\e[0;37m\]\A\[\e[1;34m\] \h:\w> \[\e[0m\]" Root: PS1="\[\e[1;34m\][\[\e[1;31m\]\A \[\e[1;34m\]\h\[\e[0;31m\]:\w\[\e[1;34m\]] # \[\e[0m\]" Lately on some tab completions using ~/, I've noticed that the tab-completion automatically fills in /home/david for ~/ and on other operations it does not. It seems in some cases that tab completion tries to automatically account for the extra spacing needed by inserting /$HOME in place of ~/ but it doesn't do it correctly resulting in my cursor being moved a line ABOVE the current line? What package is most likely responsible for this? bash-completion? Also, is anyone else seeing this? Here is an example: 17:20 providence:~/tde/bld/trinity-tqtinterface> trinity.profile.sh d.tar.gz 17:21 providence:~/tde/bld/trinity-tqtinterface> lrinity-tqtinterface-3513_git-5-i686-build.log l.tar.gz total 1416idence:~/tde/bld/trinity-tqtinterface> trinity-tqtinterface-3513_git-5-i686-package.log o.tar.gz drwxrwxr-x 2 david david 4096 Feb 22 17:21 .rinity-tqtinterface.install -.tar.gz drwxr-xr-x 11 david david 4096 Feb 22 14:26 .. dependencies-tqtinterface.tar.gz dependencies-tqtinterface.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody root 1361984 Feb 21 16:21 dependencies-tqtinterface-old.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 2510 Feb 19 02:55 PKGBUILD -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody root 680 Feb 21 16:21 tqtpc-location.patch -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody root 512 Feb 21 16:21 trinity.profile.csh -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody root 423 Feb 21 16:21 trinity.profile.sh -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 26789 Feb 21 16:24 trinity-tqtinterface-3513_git-5-i686-build.log -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 25408 Feb 21 16:24 trinity-tqtinterface-3513_git-5-i686-package.log -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 116 Feb 15 21:49 trinity-tqtinterface.install I had used mv trini<tab> trini<tab> to set up a way to back up and add -old to the trinity-tqtinterface.tar.gz (just before the .tar.gz). When I used <tab> for the second instance of the filename and touched the left-arrow key, the cursor jumped up one line each time I would type a character in 'old'. Look at the actual text above (it looked like this on the right-side of the screen): d.tar.gz l.tar.gz o.tar.gz Then after the successful 'mv' of the file, the cursor went back to normal, but it was on a line that already had text on it. Notice the: 'lrinity-tqtinterfac... line' That was the next line after the move where I had type 'l' (alias='ls -al') This is obviously prompt/completion related, but any guesses which file is responsible for the weirdness? -- David C.

[arch-general] ruby 1.9.3_p125-1 in [extra]
by Thomas Dziedzic 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

I have released ruby 1.9.3_p125 into [extra]. This is a version bump (p0 -> p125) and all tests passed for me. Along with the update, I will be introducing the following new conventions as part of my ruby cleanup project. /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby is now the correct location where non-gem ruby libraries installed with pacman should go. If your package installs anything to /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby, you have to update to the new location. Site_ruby is only there for files installed specifically by the user without a package manager. A new file will be created at "/etc/gemrc" where I add --user-install as the default option for gem. This will install all gems by default to "$HOME/.gem/ruby". You will have to add the new bindir to your PATH if you decide to install gems that provide binaries. export PATH="$PATH:$(ruby -rubygems -e 'puts Gem.user_dir')/bin" As a result of the above change, all ruby gem packages will have to add a --no-user-install flag when running gem in the PKGBUILD. If you run sudo gem install foo, it will install to /root/.gem/ruby To install to the system-wide gems location (not recommended), you will have to either remove --user-install from /etc/gemrc or you will have to pass the --no-user-install flag when using gem as root. Cheers!

While GDM works perfectly fine. How can it make a difference? And where should be the driver for that keyboard that I can't find anywhere in aur? This is the configuration (very simple) of the keyboard from Xorg: Section "InputClass" Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall" MatchIsKeyboard "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "evdev" Option "XkbLayout" "it" EndSection Thanks, Andrea

[arch-general] Building taskjuggler 2.4.3 form AUR fails

Hi List, on a freshly updated arch with a freshly pulled AUR I can't install taskjuggler (2.4). Taskjuggler3 can be installed, but I want to use Emacs orgmode's taskjuggler export, thats geared towards taskjuggler 2.4.

[arch-general] pacman -Qdt
by Andrea Crotti 26 Feb '12

26 Feb '12

I've been using this very nice command after removing a lot of stuff, and it's great to find orphans. But I think there are some issues.. For example I just installed python2-tinkerer from aur, which needs python2-sphinx. I had installed python-sphinx and they interfere with each other. So I removed python-sphinx and reinstalled again. All the dependencies are satisfied and tinkerer is installed correctly. But now look at what I get: # pacman -Qdt python-jinja 2.6-2 python2-sphinx 1.1.2-2 which seems wrong to me. Is it maybe that packages from aur don't have the same weight when checking for reverse dependencies?

[arch-general] How to set grub2 resolution to 1366x768
by Bill Sun 26 Feb '12

26 Feb '12

Hi, I want to have a 1366x768 resolution for grub2. Unfortunately, `vbeinfo` shows that my computer doesn't support that resolution (up to 960x640/1024x768). So, can I load some additional modules for grub2 so that it can support 1366x786 resolution in my computer? I tried to do the following steps in grub2 command line: 1) insmod 915resolution 2) 915resolution 5c 1366 786 After step2, grub2 command line became completely black and unresponsive. I had to press the power button to force halt my machine. System information: Archlinux x86_64 grub2-common 1.99 grub2-bios 1.99 Thinkpad X220 (with Intel Sandy Bridge CPU graphic card) Regards

[arch-general] inotify and locate
by Andrea Crotti 26 Feb '12

26 Feb '12

It's a bit a shame that there isn't any default good indexing system for Linux. Now there is also a inotify implementation and tools to set up watchers on the filesystem, so why are we still mainly stuck with locate and the expensive updatedb? Are there other problems with the inotify approach maybe or just lack of developer interest?

[arch-general] Default route not restored (deleted?) after VPN - Juniper Network Connect
by Qadri 25 Feb '12

25 Feb '12

Hi all, I've regularly used a VPN to access my school network. I use Juniper ncsvc to connect. It is worked into a script such that I can just call it, and then C-c to stop the VPN. Previously, the default route would be restored after I killed the VPN connection, so I could close the vpn connection and resume my internet use without thought. Now, I need to restart networkmanager (or that's the quickest/dumbest way I could mindlessly think of) to restore the connection (see output below). What has changed this behavior, and what methods can I take to getting the old behavior back? Thanks, MAQ. #Output #Note that echos indicate events that took place in another terminal $ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0 $ echo "Start VPN" Start VPN $ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default 123.45.67.89 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 tun0 default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 10 0 0 wlan0 vpn.school.edu 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 1 0 0 wlan0 192.168.1.0 123.45.67.89 255.255.255.0 UG 1 0 0 tun0 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 10 0 0 wlan0 192.168.1.1 * 255.255.255.255 UH 1 0 0 wlan0 $ echo "Stop VPN" Stop VPN $ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0 $ echo "Restart networkmanager" Restart networkmanager $ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 303 0 0 wlan0 $ route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0 $

[arch-general] Ways to power on broadcom bcm4311 wireless adaptor without booting into windows

Hi guys, After switching from Linux Mint to Archlinux, my wireless card refused to show up in lspci. It DOES worked fine under Linux Mint, but .... Below is my output of 'lspci -vnn |grep Broadcom' : 10:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02) My laptop is hp 6515b, with a touch panel for the toggle of wifi on/off etc. After a search in google I found the problem may be that the power of wifi has been shut down, and solution is to boot into windows and turn wifi on, because the touch panel will not work under Linux (as far as I know), And the I found a software named rfkill, hoping it will work. 'rfkill list' out put as follows : 0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: yes After 'rfkill unblock all', I get: 0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes And still no wireless card detected. So my question is, is there any way to power the wifi on without booting into windows? (in fact, windows has diappeared from my laptop for 3 years, and there is no partition on my harddisk supporting windows install).

Hi Vladimir, In fact I've tried 'lspci -vnn | grep 14e4' before, and this is the output, JUST one row: 10:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express [14e4:1693] (rev 02) If I just type 'lspci' I will not find anything related to wireless card either. About the kubuntu thing, did you mean this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1349025 I've read it before open this thread. My problem is just the same as that of stark222000: it's wifi card CANNOT be powered on, not that driver thing listed in archwiki or linux wireless. He solved it through booting into windows. But I don't have windows installed and I don't want to install it anymore. So I opened this thread as 'how to power on my wifi card' instead of 'my wifi card dose not work', which will of course be classified as a driver issue. And if I missed anything after my explanation, plz let me know. Thanks!

I have checked man crond and crontab, but I didn't find a reference to setting the execution time globally for cron.daily stuff. I have added an entry to root's crontab: 0 3 * * * /root/cron/cron-daily Is this where this needs to go? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Unable to shutdown recently (not always)
by XeCycle 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

Hello, recently I'm experiencing shutdown problems. I installed everything (except /boot) on LVM, using LXDM as the display manager and sawfish as the window manager. Usually I cannot shutdown, the computer gets stuck --- wallpaper is still there, panel is gone, so does other windows; the HDD LED may flash sometimes; neither NUM LOCK nor CAPS LOCK is responding. So I need to press the power button to force a shutdown, and, on next boot, filesystems will be recovering journal, looks like it got stuck before the filesystems unmounted. But this doesn't always happen to me, usually if the computer is used for a long time it will; but if I want to test what is the cause, i.e. startup -> do sth. -> halt, I cannot yet figure out what is the problem.

[arch-general] howto build shadow 4.1.5 with share libraries enabled?
by David C. Rankin 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

All, I am having trouble building the new shadow (4.1.5) from ABS so that libshadow.so.0 is created and installed. I have tried modifying lib/Makefile.am like was done in 4.1.4: #Ugh, force this to build shared libraries, for god's sake sed -i "s/noinst_LTLIBRARIES/lib_LTLIBRARIES/g" lib/Makefile.am But that produces no pkg/lib at all in the build directory. I have also tried setting the --enable-share configure option, but the build fails with that option set: libtool: link: gcc -march=i686 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z -Wl,relro -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -o login login.o login_nopam.o ../libmisc/libmisc.a ../lib/.libs/libshadow.a -lcrypt -lpam -lpam_misc login.o: In function `get_failent_user': login.c:(.text+0x1a): undefined reference to `getdef_bool' login.o: In function `main': login.c:(.text.startup+0x4ec): undefined reference to `getdef_unum' login.c:(.text.startup+0x517): undefined reference to `getdef_unum' login.c:(.text.startup+0x52f): undefined reference to `getdef_unum' <snip> I know /lib/libshadow.so.0 was dropped in the move from shadow 4.1.4.3-5 > 4.1.5, but is it possible to build the new shadow and have it create libshadow.so.0?

Hi, now that Window Maker development resumed and the new source for the official Window Maker package is the git repository of crm, there is no need anymore to have the crm-git package in the [extra] repository beside the official stable package. I will move it to AUR soon and will maintain it at the AUR. To all the users of the windowmaker-crm-git package, please install the windowmaker package from the [extra] repository, which is the latest stable source from windowmaker.org and even newer than the crm-git package. All features which are in the crm-git package are merged to the official windowmaker package because of the same source. -Daniel

[arch-general] GHC 7.4.1 or HP 2011.4.0.0??
by Magnus Therning 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

It's been out for a day now... this would be a good time to decide whether ArchLinux should be bold and move to a haskell-platform-free state, or trudge on with HP and the ache it causes. If we're moving to 7.4.1 there's a lot of work with getting ArchHaskell in shape for it, so the longer notice the better :) If we're to trudge on with HP then we really ought to move to 2011.4.0.0, which also means a new version of GHC and a lot of work on ArchHaskell, so the longer notice the better :) Please, please, please, can we move on this soon? I'm available to help out with [extra]&[community] packages if need be, updating PKGBUILDs, building, verifying other's changes, etc. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus

Do not hold me to this but I have never been able to use non standard sizes passed to grub or grub2 and then once X has started it switches to my actual screen rez of 1900x768 or something like that. For me though when I run 1280x800 in grub when I am outside of X everything seems fine no large text and everything fits on screen. Not sure if any of this actually if of help but figured would be worth sharing in case it spurs some other ideas for you.

Hello, I have an Android 2.3 phone, and blueman failed to send file to it. Nor did obexfs mount the phone. After some check, I found the phone doesn't support OBEX FTP, but supports OBEX Object Push. So I managed to send the file with ussp-push. Is there a workaround for blueman? Or have I misconfigured something?

[arch-general] rebuilding shadow 4.1.4.3-5 fails DSO problem with libattr - where to patch?

Guys The update to shadow has caused problems and I needed to rebuild shadow 4.1.4.3-5. I have run into the DSO error regarding libattr.

[arch-general] boot hangs on hal load after updates today.
by David C. Rankin 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

All, Strange behavior on boot with both standard and LTS kernels. After updates today. Boot hangs on hal load when encountered in DAEMONS line of rc.conf. hal IS started, but boot hangs with both the normal kernel and LTS. This behavior is confirmed when starting hal manually. This occurs with both the old hal 0.5.14-6 and version 0.5.14-7 from aur. This stops the boot process dead in its tracks requiring a ctrl+alt+del to kill the hang. I had to boot to 'single' user mode to bring my box up enough to remove hal from the daemons line. Any ideas which package may be causing this? I know hal is on the way out, but it is needed currently for development of Trinity. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I know I do not longer need to run a syslog daemon, but I like my logs in human readable form. So, being a obedient ml reader, I configured my syslog-ng to read from said new socket unix-dgram("/run/systemd/journal/socket"); instead of the old /dev/log. But since then my logs are incomplete at best. So here are my questions: - Why are the logs read from /run/systemd/journal/socket incomplete and how do I fix this? - Why do I even have to change the socket? /dev/log is still there and still works like a charm.

[arch-general] Intel AES-NI module doesn't get loaded automatically
by Karol Babioch 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

Hi, my hardware supports the AES-NI instruction set, which is a performance boost. I'm pretty sure that the appropriate module (aesni_intel) was loaded automatically in the past, which seems not to be the case anymore. I probably could place it in /etc/rc.conf or something like that, but before going for it, I would like to know why it doesn't get loaded automatically in the first place any longer. Is this something intentional or some sort of bug/regression? Maybe it has something to do with the switch to kmod a few weeks ago? Anyone else experienced this? Best regards, Karol Babioch

Hi, I'm not a dev, so am replying on arch-general, but a TU who uses a lot of ruby on Arch. Thanks for thinking about this. I too have been trying to come up with my own sane way of using ruby - gems particularly - with Arch. On Sunday 12 Feb 2012 17:37:17 Thomas Dziedzic wrote: > Current layout: > /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby - packages either installed here > /usr/lib/ruby/gems/[ruby_base_version] - or here, this directory > contains both pacman installed packages and packages installed using > the gem tool. > > Planned layout: > /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby - manually installed files by user go here, > packages shouldn't touch this > /usr/lib/ruby/gems/[ruby_base_version] - pacman packages built from gems go > here /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby - ruby packages installed with pacman which > aren't gems go here > $HOME/.gem/ruby/[ruby_base_version] - used by the gem command to > install packages unmanaged by pacman +1 from me, except that we should probably emphasise that /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby really is for site-specific stuff.

I think it's worth separating out the "user" and the "admin" in this argument. To install a gem system-wide, you have to do something like "sudo gem install XXX", right? This is almost always a bad idea, IMO, and people hopefully won't do it at least during the normal run of working with ruby. Personally, I don't let gem mess with anything outside my home directory. And plain "gem install XXX" will not accidentally install system-wide, right? Ruby is quite good for separating between development and deployment environments - it seems to make sense for us to do a similar thing here, seeing the Arch OS layer itself as a particular kind of deployment, where things are managed by pacman. > 2) Change all ruby pacman packages to use local > _gemdir='/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby' > This would free up /usr/lib/ruby/gems/[ruby_base_version] which we > could move to /var/lib/ruby/gems/[ruby_base_version] for system wide > gems installed with the gem command. And as much as I have to admit that I'd really like to be able to install gems system-wide and use their built-in dependency management, bundler etc... I think that road probably leads to madness and death, especially when many popular gems will still be managed by pacman (and rightly so). So, I would be careful about doing this, and would suggest that we go for only letting 'gem' install things under $HOME. Anything that should go system-wide should have a PKGBUILD. > I'm currently leaning towards 1 since it will be a simple solution > with no changes needed to existing ruby-* packages. Yep. Of course, suggesting RVM for user-installed gems(ets) is probably also a good idea. Pete. PS. A while ago I was getting very frustrated that the version of rubygems bundled with ruby itself was so out-of-date so quickly, but 'gem update --system' is a very bad idea in combination with pacman. So, I spent a while hacking together this package, which installs the latest version of rubygems itself alongside ruby, system-wide: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50346 It's hacky, but it works :-) I wish there was a cleaner way.

[arch-general] Waiting for UDev uevents to be processed [BUSY]
by Rob Lewis 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

I am running into an issue I have never really run into in the past with my current laptop. Upon installing arch linux I reboot and face the following issue which hangs forever during the bot process: Waiting for UDev uevents to be processed [BUSY] I have a Lenovo Thinkpad W520 with NVidia Optimus and I enabled NVidia Discrete mode in the BIOS. I cannot boot into my system after installation, however sometimes it will skip by this error and I will lose all keyboard input and cannot login as a result. My workaround for the moment is to put the BIOS into Optimus mode (Intel and NVidia cards are enabled) and use the Intel video driver. I have tried nomodeset during the boot process but no luck. Googling the problem i find most people get a timeout after 30 seconds to find out what is causing the problem, but my system hangs forever. Is anyone else running into this issue or experienced enough to help me find out what the problem is? I have been running Arch since August 2011 with no issues up until now. Any help is appreciated, -Rob

It really breaks my workflow. I'm not sure what you want to do... Are you trying to release to a architecture that isn't specified in the PKGBUILD's "arch" array? Or does commitpkg fail to upload an architecture you actually specified? Just to be sure, commitpkg currently behaves as follows: 1. Iterates over all architectures that you specified in your PKGBUILD (unless you use "$commit_arch"). 2. Searches for package files for each of these architectures (and it looks in "$PKGDEST" if that is used). If it cannot find a package file for one architecture, it displays something like "Skipping $_pkgname-$fullver-$_arch: failed to locate package file" and skips that architecture. 3. Searches for signature files, bails out if one of them cannot be found or is invalid. 4. archreleases to all remaining architectures. 5. Uploads package and signature files. If it doesn't behave like that for you, you should probably file a devtools bug. If it behaves like that and you need another feature, file a feature request :) > > greetings > tpowa > > -- > Tobias Powalowski > Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) > http://www.archlinux.org > tpowa(a)archlinux.org > >

[arch-general] Multi-audio player script-based control?
by Oon-Ee Ng 14 Feb '12

14 Feb '12

I use mpd for 'regular' music playing, but once in a while (like today, V-Day) I use other players (like Exaile) for various purposes. I currently use xbindkeys to bind various keyboard shortcuts to mpc next, mpc prev etc. Of course, finger memory means I still press those even though I'm currently using another music player (which results in two different songs playing). Anyone know of an existing script which controls the active player (so if I press my 'next song' keyboard shortcut and VLC is active, it receives the signal, if Exaile/amarok whatever is active, it receives it, if nothing is active it defaults to mpd)? Thought about hacking something up in bash but would like to check if something already exists, first.

[arch-general] [mirrorlist] Remove ftp mirrors from the default list

I don't find download small files is slow especially when the mirror is at your country. Furthermore, my country namely Singapore only have one mirror and that one mirror using FTP. Arch-devs. Kindly do not delete FTP from the list. The mirrors list are user config and not everybody use the same mirror and it is up to us to use which mirror. So, I don't see a point on remove the ftp mirrors.

[arch-general] Invisible GNOME 3 Icons
by Ankur Sethi 14 Feb '12

14 Feb '12

Hi, I use Arch with GNOME 3 on a Dell Vostro 1520 (late 2009). This machine comes with an nVidia 9300M GS GPU. I'm using the proprietary nVidia drivers. After a recent update, all the icons from my GNOME 3 top bar have become invisible. My login screen picture has also become invisible. When I say "invisible", I mean I can click them all right, but I can't see them. These screenshots will explain more: * http://imagebin.org/198830 * http://imagebin.org/198831 What's worse, some of the GTK+ UI elements have also become invisible. Here's what my System Settings app looks like: * http://imagebin.org/198832 As you can see, the checkboxes and slider handles are invisible. Does anyone know what might have caused this? How can I fix this? -- Ankur Sethi

[arch-general] ffmpeg and libav
by Andrea Crotti 12 Feb '12

12 Feb '12

I am not part of the libav team, but I know many developers and I followed the story of the fork. I then also noticed that my beloved arch is still using ffmpeg and libav is not even in the official repository (but only in AUR). Is there a reason for that? There are quite a few good reasons to switch over and many already did: - debian unstable (http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-multimedia-maintainers/2011-De…) - vlc (http://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/vlc-devel/2011-August/081317.html) - gstreamer (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26497) (And I'm quite sure also gentoo and Ubuntu but I don't find a link).

[arch-general] Possible hard drive failure, DMA errors.
by Jordan Windsor 12 Feb '12

12 Feb '12

Hello, I was downloading 3 movies via sabnzbd (~5GB each), after awhile I noticed the system wasn't responding as much, RhythmBox wasn't playing anymore, sabnzbd wasn't making progress and my broswer also was slowing down a bit. I then decided to restart thinking it would solve what ever problems sabnzbd brought along, when I did that it didn't reboot it just logged me out, I couldn't log back in, it would accept my password and username but after that nothing would happen, I then hard powered it off, on start-up it wouldn't get past the "mounting local filesystems" part of the boot process, it would just print DMA errors and more. I'm running PassMark's DiskCheckup on both my disks, on the first the quick self check completes quickly without error, but the second drive doesn't get past 10% (starts on 10%) and shows "The last self-test routine completed with a failure of the read element." I was wondering is my disk 100% gone? or is the some chance of getting my RAID0 data off? although 90% is easily replaceable (movies). Thanks. (I'll reply later with the details of the error messages displayed during boot.)

[arch-general] update to cups 1.5.2 - test print OK, but nothing else prints - jobs just sit in que until canceled

Guys, Cups 1.5.2 update caused all user submitted jobs to stick in que and not print.

[arch-general] Alps touchpad problems
by mike cloaked 11 Feb '12

11 Feb '12

I am trying to get a laptop touchpad working properly with arch fully up to date as of today. The machine is a recent Dell Vostro and has an Alps touchpad. I can't get vertical scrolling to work in KDE, and the mouse cursor occasionally moves erratically. I have seen previous posts some time back recommending installing the psmouse-alps package from AUR, and indeed it would appear that the 3.3 kernel may have a working psmouse module. However for the moment with kernel 3.2.5 the touchpad is detected as P/S 2 Generic - instead of the correct detection. I have tried installing psmouse-alps and rebooting but it made no difference so I uninstalled it again. the Xorg log has: [ 16.850] (II) config/udev: Adding input device PS/2 Generic Mouse (/dev/inpu t/event8) [ 16.850] (**) PS/2 Generic Mouse: Applying InputClass "evdev pointer catchal l" [ 16.850] (II) Using input driver 'evdev' for 'PS/2 Generic Mouse' [ 16.850] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so [ 16.850] (**) PS/2 Generic Mouse: always reports core events [ 16.850] (**) PS/2 Generic Mouse: Device: "/dev/input/event8" [ 16.850] (--) PS/2 Generic Mouse: Found 3 mouse buttons [ 16.850] (--) PS/2 Generic Mouse: Found relative axes [ 16.850] (--) PS/2 Generic Mouse: Found x and y relative axes [ 16.850] (II) PS/2 Generic Mouse: Configuring as mouse [ 16.850] (**) PS/2 Generic Mouse: YAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5 [ 16.850] (**) PS/2 Generic Mouse: EmulateWheelButton: 4, EmulateWheelInertia: 10, EmulateWheelTimeout: 200 [ 16.850] (**) Option "config_info" "udev:/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input8/event8" [ 16.850] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "PS/2 Generic Mouse" (type: MOUSE, id 12) [ 16.850] (II) PS/2 Generic Mouse: initialized for relative axes.

I am trying to rebuild from the 3.2 pkgbuild, but the build fails: /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -std=gnu99 -march=i686 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,--hash-style=gnu -o power power.o ../libaudiofile/libaudiofile.la libtool: link: gcc -std=gnu99 -march=i686 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z -Wl,relro -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -o .libs/power power.o ../libaudiofile/.libs/libaudiofile.so /usr/bin/ld: power.o: undefined reference to symbol 'log10@@GLIBC_2.0' /usr/bin/ld: note: 'log10@@GLIBC_2.0' is defined in DSO /lib/libm.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line /lib/libm.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [power] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/david/arch/pkg/abs/audiofile/src/audiofile-0.3.2/examples' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/david/arch/pkg/abs/audiofile/src/audiofile-0.3.2' make: *** [all] Error 2 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting... I am using the pkgbuild from: http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk/PKGBUILD?h… I can see the main problem is: /usr/bin/ld: power.o: undefined reference to symbol 'log10@@GLIBC_2.0' /usr/bin/ld: note: 'log10@@GLIBC_2.0' is defined in DSO /lib/libm.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line but how do I modify the PKGBUILD to account for this? Shouldn't audiofile be backwards compatible from 3.3->3.2? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Phonon backends not loading
by Kacper Żuk 08 Feb '12

08 Feb '12

All Phonon based apps (I've tried Kadu, Phonik (aur), and my little app) fail to initialize Phonon backend: WARNING: bool Phonon::FactoryPrivate::createBackend() phonon backend plugin could not be loaded WARNING: Phonon::createPath: Cannot connect Phonon::MediaObject ( no objectName ) to Phonon::AudioOutput ( no objectName ). I have backends installed: [kaz@Dmitrij ~]$ pacman -Qs phonon local/phonon 1:4.6.0-1 local/phonon-gstreamer 4.5.1-1 local/phonon-vlc 0.4.1-1 I've tried with only one backend installed (tried both...), but it still doesn't work. I'm using testing repo if that matters. Is it something with my configuration or is it a bug in Arch Linux?

[arch-general] Debugging a kde app
by Myra Nelson 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

Caveat: I know this is probably an upstream bug so I'm just looking for some general info. This is my first try at debugging. I'm using the wiki articles for my guidance. I some questions about debugging a KDE app, kshisen which is included in the kdeames package. The best I can describe the behavior is "it hangs at random intervals. Either when you select a tile it takes several seconds to highlight it, after the first selection the matching selection takes 5 to 10 seconds, then continues without crashing". I've tried to get a screenshot but an unable to when kshisen is hung up. I've recompiled the dependencies and kshisen like this and built the packages in a clean chroot with extra-x86_64-build. options=('!strip') build() { export CFLAGS="-fbuiltin -g -march=native -O1 -pipe -fstack-protector-all --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2" export CXXFLAGS="-fbuiltin -g -march=native -O1 -pipe -fstack-protector-all --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2" export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,--hash-style=gnu" cd $srcdir mkdir build cd build cmake ../../${pkgbase}-${pkgver} -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python2 make } Next I ran [ valgrind --leak-check=full --track-origins=yes --time-stamp=yes /usr/bin/kshisen ]. Valgrind reports several memory leaks. As an example: ==00:00:07:20.414 32628== 24 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 139 of 425 ==00:00:07:20.414 32628== at 0x4C2993D: malloc (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so) ==00:00:07:20.414 32628== by 0xBA3A75A: FcPatternCreate (in /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1.4.4) ==00:00:07:20.414 32628== by 0xBA3861D: FcFontRenderPrepare (in /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1.4.4) ==00:00:07:20.414 32628== by 0xBA3883C: FcFontMatch (in /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1.4.4) ==00:00:07:20.414 32628== by 0x60BB2D7: QFontDatabase::load(QFontPrivate const*, int) (in /usr/lib/libQtGui.so.4.8.0) ==00:00:07:20.414 32628== by 0x6098586: QFontPrivate::engineForScript(int) const (in /usr/lib/libQtGui.so.4.8.0) ==00:00:07:20.414 32628== by 0x60AC187: QFontMetrics::height() const (in /usr/lib/libQtGui.so.4.8.0) ==00:00:07:20.414 32628== by 0x62E1949: QStatusBar::reformat() (in /usr/lib/libQtGui.so.4.8.0) ==00:00:07:20.414 32628== by 0x62E1C59: QStatusBar::setSizeGripEnabled(bool) (in /usr/lib/libQtGui.so.4.8.0) ==00:00:07:20.414 32628== by 0x62E2007: QStatusBar::QStatusBar(QWidget*) (in /usr/lib/libQtGui.so.4.8.0) ==00:00:07:20.414 32628== by 0x515E55D: KStatusBar::KStatusBar(QWidget*) (in /usr/lib/libkdeui.so.5.8.0) ==00:00:07:20.414 32628== by 0x513F989: KMainWindow::statusBar() (in /usr/lib/libkdeui.so.5.8.0) Next I ran [ strace -eopen /usr/bin/kshisen ], which spits out quite a few missing/not found files. As and example: open("/usr/lib/tls/x86_64/libjson.so.0", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/tls/libjson.so.0", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/x86_64/libjson.so.0", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) There is no directory /usr/lib/tls. Then I ran [ readelf -a /usr/bin/kshisen | grep interp ] with the following results. [ 1] .interp PROGBITS 0000000000400238 00000238 [Requesting program interpreter: /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2] 01 .interp 02 .interp .note.ABI-tag .note.gnu.build-id .gnu.hash .dynsym .dynstr .gnu.version .gnu.version_r .rela.dyn .rela.plt .init .plt .text .fini .rodata .eh_frame_hdr .eh_frame Then I ran [ LD_DEBUG=files /usr/bin/kshisen > kshisen-lddebug.log 2>&1 ] which produces a long log. If it would help I can put all the files in a pastebin. I may be into overload but was trying to have enough info up front. First question. Would a backtrace do any good? Second question (sort of). I would like to bisect this app by cloning the svn repo then compiling a previous version. Will I (my belief is yes) need to set up a virtual environment to work on say the 4.7.9 version? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Myra -- Life's fun when your sick and psychotic!

[arch-general] libpng 14/15 - anyway to workaround by having parallel installs?
by David C. Rankin 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

Guys, The libpng issue breaks nearly all of trinity. Is there a way to work around the libpng 1.5 update by having both 1.5 and 1.4 installed or with softlinks until all the rebuilds can be done? I'll play with it, but if anyone knows how to approach this workaround (if possible), I would welcome your thoughts. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] help building aoe block driver against kernel 3.2.4
by Chuck Remes 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

Like the subject says, I need a hand building the latest aoe block driver (available here [1]). The built-in aoe driver is back at version 47... there have been *many* improvements, particularly for performance, that I need in the later driver releases. I had great success building the driver against kernel26 for the past 3 years. This is my first try with the 3.x kernel series. In the gist below, I attached 3 sets of detail. The 'install_readme.txt' is a set of instructions I wrote up on how to prepare the kernel sources so that the driver could be built against it. These are the instructions (slightly updated to use the 'linux' package name versus the old 'kernel26' package) that I have successfully used for the last several years to keep the driver up to date as new kernels rolled out. The 'stdout.txt' section of the gist contains the output of my terminal session from when I do the driver build. It throws some errors out and points to a few lines in a specific file (aoeblk.c) as being incorrect. I have compared that code to other drivers and it looks correct to me. Lastly, I included a copy of the aoeblk.c file that contains these supposed errors (to save any helpful soul who wants to see the source without downloading the tarball [1] linked to earlier). https://gist.github.com/1713964 I also took another approach where I copied the updated driver sources directly into the kernel source tree and rebuilt the package. However, it throws the same error. I cannot get support from the vendor (Coraid) because they only officially support the 2.6 kernel series even with a paid plan. I'm at a loss as to what to try next. Any suggestions? [1] http://support.coraid.com/support/linux/aoe6-78.tar.gz

[arch-general] Nvidia Driver issues
by Don deJuan 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

First off I just would like to start off by saying please do not tell me to use nouveau. They do not work and have not worked for me on multiple distros for well over a year now. I also need cuda support on my laptop. I am currently running the xorg-nv driver. I am at a complete loss as far as what is going wrong or what I am missing when trying to install the Nvidia proprietary driver. I have a Nvidia GeForce GTS 360m card. I am fully updated, just updated xorg to 1.14-1. I have been trying since installing which started me at xorg 1.11. What is going wrong is that everything installs fine, but any time I try and shutdown/reboot it goes to a red screen and locks up there, no blinking indicators on the keyboard, so does not appear to be a Kernel panic but an xorg issue. If I do not get the red screen, what happens it the screen goes black and sits there with a blinking cursor. There is no way to change terminals either. I have tried the nvidia nvidia-beta drivers and both have the same issue. Is this due to the nvidia and xorg 1.11 issues I keep reading about? What are my options to try and get this working properly? I have followed the wiki, postings on the bbs. I have tried basically everything I could find minus actually downgrading to xorg 1.10. Which from what I read is the only way to get the proprietary to work, but on arch forums and on here I read of many people with no issue with current X and nvidia closed source drivers, so I would think it must be me who is causing the issue. Thanks for any help, info and most of all your time
