[arch-general] Icons issues with LXPanel
by Giovanni Santini (ItachiSan) 11 Sep '18

11 Sep '18

Hey everyone, I am an user of LXDE and I pretty happy with it, but I just have some weird issue with lxpanel: My terminal (GNOME Terminal) has no icon in the panel, but after resizing the bar it does appear Some Electron-based apps (Mailspring and Franz) do not show their icons in the panel and have instead a generic icon I am not sure this can be considered as a bug or not, so I reported it here first. Any opinions on this? Would be better if I can fix it. Thanks everyone in advance!

[arch-general] AUR: Failing to install gnupod-git (no perl-date-parse)
by Jeanette C. 07 Sep '18

Hey hey, I just tried to install gnupod-git from AUR and there is one unmet dependency not found by either pacman or through AUR: perl-date-parse . Short of building an AUR myself, is there something I could do?

[arch-general] users memlock value
by Ralf Mardorf 02 Sep '18

02 Sep '18

Hi, I wonder if it's reasonable, that a package sets an '@users - memlock' value, since it overrides needed memlock values of other groups. [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ cat /etc/security/limits.d/10-gcr.conf @users - memlock 1024 # vim:set ft=limits: [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ pacman -Qo /etc/security/limits.d/10-gcr.conf /etc/security/limits.d/10-gcr.conf is owned by gcr 3.28.0-4 Regards, Ralf

[arch-general] Services with DefaultDependencies=no
by Leonid Isaev 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

Hi, While going over .service files on my system, I noticed that quite a few of them, not belonging to systemd package, contain DefaultDependencies=no (DD=no). This is understandable (perhaps) for programs like systemd-journald, but what about normal daemons, like rpcbind, haveged and rpc-nfsd? I thought that setting DD=no is kind of a hack needed only for special services (e.g. called from fstab via x-systemd.requires=). Or am I missing something? Thanks, L. -- Leonid Isaev

[arch-general] Include paths for python 3
by Jayesh Badwaik 24 Aug '18

24 Aug '18

I've noticed that the include paths for python 3 are updated according to the version of python being installed. This removes some stability for custom programs which build against python (example boost.python). It would be nice if there was a symlink version of python include paths to a stable location like `/usr/include/python3`. Thank you. -- Cheers Jayesh Badwaik https://jayeshbadwaik.gitlab.io

Good day mailing list, I am giving an all day work shop at Ohio Linux Fest ( https://ohiolinux.org/olfi-training-2018/automation-with-bash-shell/) I want to give a vendor agnostic presentation and am hunting around for some decent Arch branded ODP template slides to include.

[arch-general] Changes to jack/jack2 and realtime privileges
by David Runge 21 Aug '18

21 Aug '18

Hi all, as announced before [1], recent changes to the jack and jack2{,-dbus} packages (now in [extra] and [community] respectively) have made the previously shipped configurations obsolete and decoupled the audio group from acquiring realtime privileges by default when installing jack. The package realtime-privileges [2] has been created to serve as the new way of achieving this by the means of a dedicated 'realtime' group, to which users, that need the settings, must be added. It is now an optional dependency to jack and jack2{,-dbus} and can of course also be dependend upon from other packages if needed. In theory, this change shouldn't mean much of a difference to users, that need realtime (just install realtime-priviliges and add your user to the realtime group: `gpasswd -a <user> realtime`), while it doesn't have any consequences for users that have no use for it to begin with. Best, David [1] https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-proaudio/2018-July/000163.html [2] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/realtime-privileges/ -- https://sleepmap.de

[arch-general] How to upgrade a postgresql database?
by Peter Nabbefeld 17 Aug '18

17 Aug '18

Hello, I'm trying to upgrade a postgresql database, but it doesn't work. I've also found this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PostgreSQL#Upgrading_PostgreSQL This doesn't work for me, because there isn't any folder /opt/pgsql-9.6/bin anymore - all the binaries are in /usr/bin. This implies, there're no two versions of the binaries available, nor any oldir or newdir (for -b / -B parameters). It seems, I have to downgrade postgresql first, dump the database, and restore it after upgrading again. Is there any easier method available (i.e. some script which could do this automatically)? Kind regards Peter

[arch-general] i3stats depends on wireless_tools, causing "firmware load for regulatory.db failed" w/o wireless-regdb
by David C. Rankin 16 Aug '18

16 Aug '18

Archdevs, There seems to be a funny depends (or missing depends) issue for *some* systems without wireless that have i3status installed. This appears to be because i3stats depends on wireless_tools, which during boot triggers an attempt to load /var/lib/regulatory.db -- which fails because the file doesn't exist with the following: [ 11.924427] cfg80211: Loading compiled-in X.509 certificates for regulatory database [ 11.928144] cfg80211: Loaded X.509 cert 'sforshee: 00b28ddf47aef9cea7' [ 11.928215] platform regulatory.0: Direct firmware load for regulatory.db failed with error -2 [ 11.928219] cfg80211: failed to load regulatory.db This issue was touched on from a different angle in: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=234568 The /var/lib/regulatory.db file is provided by wireless-regdb (a dependency of crda), but neither are a dependency wireless_tools. I don't know exactly what hardware triggers the attempt to load on systems without wireless. I have 2 SuperMicro boards that do throw the error, but similar setups on MSI and Gigabyte that don't. The error appears harmless, so I don't know if it is something that should even be addressed, but I thought I'd pass it along and let you devs make the call. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Booting EFISTUB Kernel: Tianocore Wants *.efi.
by Ralph Corderoy 12 Aug '18

12 Aug '18

Hi, I've an Asus C200M Chromebook with coreboot and TianoCore UEFI newly flashed. Today was spent working through the wiki to have it EFISTUB boot a kernel in ESP. The disk has a ESP partition, and a root partition that's LUKS dmcrypt'd. (All this is new to me.) I used efibootmgr(8) to add a boot menu item, and I changed the order so it was second after USB. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/EFISTUB#Using_UEFI_directly On finishing the installation and rebooting, I ended up EFI shell without any visible errors. Poking about, I could see ESP had `\vmlinuz-linux', in EFI terms, and the two initrds. Explicitly running the kernel, e.g. `fs0:\vmlinuz-linux' either did nothing, or said it wasn't the right kind of thing. I forget. On a hunch I used EFI's `cp' to copy it to `\vmlinuz-linux.efi'. `ls' then shows it in a different colour to its source and it booted with `\vmlinuz-linux.efi'. Where along the line do I arrange for the kernel to end with `.efi'? -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy

[arch-general] Reliability test for hard drives and SSD
by Andrey Ponomarenko 10 Aug '18

10 Aug '18

Hi there! Good news for all interested in hardware compatibility and reliability. I've started a new project to estimate reliability of hard drives and SSD in real-life conditions based on the SMART data reports collected by Linux users in the Linux-Hardware.org database since 2014. The initial data (SMART reports), analysis methods and results are publicly shared in a new github repository: https://github.com/linuxhw/SMART. Everyone can contribute to the report by uploading probes of their computers by the hw-probe tool! The primary aim of the project is to find drives with longest "power on hours" and minimal number of errors. The following formula is used to measure reliability: Power_On_Hours / (1 + Number_Of_Errors), i.e. time to the first error/between errors. Please be careful when reading the results table. Pay attention not only to the rating, but also to the number of checked model samples. If rating is low, then look at the number of power-on days and number of errors occurred. New drive models will appear at the end of the rating table and will move to the top in the case of long error-free operation. Thanks to ROSA, Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, openSUSE, Gentoo users and others who had made this work possible by contribution to the database!

[arch-general] Kernel source URL change
by Andrey Vihrov 08 Aug '18

08 Aug '18

Hi, Recently the way kernel sources are retrieved was changed in the linux package [1]. Now the sources are fetched from https://github.com/archlinux/linux. I see a few problems with this: - Previously the list of applied patches was very transparent. You could immediately see that the kernel and kernel patch tarballs come from kernel.org, and view individual extra patches. Now the code comes from a non-kernel source, and cannot be verified as easily. - Previously, if a new kernel version is released and is not yet in the repos, you could more or less take the official linux PKGBUILD, change one number and build it yourself. With the new layout it is not clear how to achieve this. - An often cited Arch policy is to use software as released by upstream with minimal patching. What becomes of this policy if one of the core packages builds from a technical fork instead of upstream? If the patches from kernel.org will no longer be signed, as announced in [2], then an alternative would be git tags from [3] and [4]. It's understandable if it may make development harder, nonetheless it would allow for better transparency and follow upstream closer — just one user's opinion.

[arch-general] libssh: 0.7.5 from AUR seems to have config reading issues
by Artyom Poptsov 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

Hello, it seems that AUR provides libssh version 0.7.5 that has some issues with SSH config reading (it fails to read options from a provided configuration file.) Back in June 2017 I prepared a patch to fix the problem: https://git.libssh.org/projects/libssh.git/commit/?id=5333be5988c3789e70115… but the patch was integrated to libssh _after_ 0.7.5 release (it was released in April 2017.) Could the libssh library be upgraded in AUR to integrate the aforementioned patch? I'm not an avid Arch GNU/Linux user so if I'm wrong about something please don't hesistate to point me out to it. FWIW, I'm the main developer of Guile-SSH library [1] that uses libssh. Thanks! - Artyom [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/guile-ssh/ -- Artyom V.

[arch-general] How to make aura more verbose?
by Peter Nabbefeld 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

Hello, trying to use aura instead of pacaur. Yesterday I started to install jitsi - it's still running (?). Well, it's also the first time I'm installing this package, so I don't know how much effort is needed for building. However, I'd like to see all the messages like with pacaur, but aura keeps to be silent, even with the -v option. :-/ How can I switch the messages on? And are there any build logs I can watch? I'd prefer not to stop a build which is running several hours before making sure it really hangs. Kind regards Peter

[arch-general] xrandr with XPS 13" (3840x2160) HiDPI and 30" (2560x1600) LowDPI
by Tyler 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

Hi, I am using ArchLinux with i3 on my Dell XPS 13" 9370 @ 3840x2160) HiDPI and everything works great with: .Xresources: ! xft fonts !---------------------------------------------------------------------- Xft.dpi: 220 Xft.autohint: 0 Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault Xft.hintstyle: hintfull Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.rgba: rgb ! urxvt !--------------------------------------------------------------------- URxvt*font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline:size=12: \ minspace=False:antialias=true, \ xft:Segoe UI Emoji:size=12:minspace=False:antialias=true URxvt*boldFont: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline:size=12: \ minspace=False:antialias=true, \ xft:Segoe UI Emoji:size=12:minspace=False:antialias=true URxvt.letterSpace: -1 and in /etc/profile.d/hidpi.sh export GDK_SCALE=2 export GDK_DPI_SCALE=0.5 export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0 export QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS=2 export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct However recently I bought a Dell DA300 Mobile Adapter and decided I wanted to use my external Dell 30" 3000WFP (2560x1600) over DisplayPort. I found this blog article https://blog.summercat.com/configuring-mixed-dpi-monitors-with-xrandr.html which explains exactly what I am trying to do. The only difference is the placement of the external screen (mine is on the left of the laptop) and the screen size and resolution. In that article he uses his HiDPI on both screens and then scales down on the external screen, which is why he doubles the resolution of the external display. The reason he does that is so he doesn't have to touch .Xresources or fiddle with toolkit scaling options. Using this command I was able to get it working great with a single external monitor ie the Dell 30" 3000WFP @ (2560x1600) xrandr --dpi 220 --fb 5120x3200 \ --output eDP1 --off \ --output DP1 --scale 2x2 --panning 5120x3200 With the dual-monitor setup I'm struggling to understand the panning option. I have looked at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xrandr and the man file and still couldn't figure that track x track y part out. It's not very easy to understand. So far for the external monitor I have this: xrandr --dpi 220 --fb 8960x5360 \ --output eDP1 --mode 3840x2160 \ --output DP1 --scale 2x2 --pos -2560x0 --panning 5120x3200+2560+0 What I want is to be able to access the whole area of both screens. In his example he has a laptop at 3200x1800 and an external monitor at 1920x1080 > Dual monitors > > When I want to use both monitors, this is the command I run: > > xrandr --dpi 276 --fb 7040x3960 \ > --output eDP-1 --mode 3200x1800 \ > --output DP-1-2 --scale 2x2 --pos 3200x0 --panning 3840x2160+3200+0 > > Here's an explanation of the options: > > Global options: > --dpi 276 sets the DPI to 276. > --fb 7040x3960 creates one screen with resolution 7040x3960. This is the combined resolution of the two monitors. The high DPI monitor has 3200x1800 resolution. The lower DPI monitor has 1920x1080 resolution, but I double it as I scale it by 2 (see below). Combine these like so: 3200+1920*2 x 1800+1080*2 = 7040x3960. Both monitors share this screen. > High DPI monitor options (--output eDP-1): > --mode 3200x1800 says to use resolution 3200x1800. This is the default, but specifying it is necessary if the monitor is disabled (as it is when using the external monitor by itself) as it enables the monitor. > Lower DPI monitor options (--output DP-1-2): > --scale 2x2 is similar to zooming out. This is necessary as we set the DPI globally to that of the high DPI monitor. > --pos positions it to the right of the laptop monitor. > --panning allows our pointer to access the whole area. Any help or tips would be much appreciated! -- Tyler

[arch-general] systemd --user enable: Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory
by Bjoern Franke 01 Aug '18

Hi, I'm trying to create a systemd timer for a user to run duply daily. For one user the enabled worked fine, but another one: systemctl --user enable backup.timer Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory I have no clue why this happens, systemctl daemon-reload (also with --user) did not fix it. I found a similar issue in the forums, but the solution was to "ln -s" the timer and than rebooting. But I don't think this would be the "correct" solution because "systemctl --user enable" should also work. Any hints? TIA Bjoern

It looks like the problem is that the /boot partition was not mounted, as it usually is, during the update process. This caused the previously installed kernel to load, and the modules to fail to load due to version mismatch. I fixed it by booting to live media, mounting the /boot and / partitions appropriately and doing arch-chroot to / to install the cached 4.17.10 image with pacman -U For now I've also put the /boot partition in my fstab, even though iirc the wiki recommends against this. Good luck, -Shawn

[arch-general] Arch Linux PC as a Remote Desktop Node
by Foxtrot Mike 31 Jul '18

31 Jul '18

Hi all, Currently we have around 10 employees who develop software using Visual Studio. The idea is to install the development tools on the Windows Server system, and to have all the developers connect to the server over RDP using low-end low-power computers. The server is pretty beefy though. The low end client PCs will save up-front cost as well as power bills. The network backend will not have any issue with the increased RDP traffic. I have been using Arch Linux for some years now, so I undertook this as a research project. I want to use the Arch system as a Remote Desktop node. The Arch system would use a login manager (such as lightdm) to authenticate users from Windows Domain. Once the user has been authenticated, the system is supposed to automatically open a RDP connection (using freerdp) to the Windows Server (if possible, using the credentials provided to lightdm so the user doesn't have to enter his password twice). As soon as the user quits the RDP session, his X-session should also be closed automatically. Here are the major tasks: 1- Ask LightDM to use Windows Domain (Kerberos) authentication. I am a little confused. There are supposedly many different ways with little changes to do this. [1] is one solution. LDAP is also a possibility. I need advice from someone who knows this field better than me :p 2- How to ask i3-wm (my default wm) to run freerdp at login? I guess [2] will get this done. 3- How to ask freerdp to authenticate using the ticket received from TGT during LightDM Domain authentication? If I could somehow configure freerdp to use Kerberos Tickets then the user won't have to enter his Domain password again. 4- How to ask i3-wm to close the X-session when freeRDP quits? I read something a while ago about .xsession files to achieve this functionality, but can't find it now. Any help would be appreciated! Regards.

Hi all! There is a maintainer, who has lots of out-of-date packages in the Extra repo: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?packager=guillaume Some of these packages were flagged out-of-date in 2017 (!). I've e-mailed the maintainer (to his address from PKGBUILD file), but there is no response for two weeks. I want one of his packages ( https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/visualvm ) to be updated because an important bug was fixed in the upstream (I've already built this package, installed and tested locally with the newest upstream software version). What is the correct way to handle this situation? Redargs, Danila Kiver.

During the time that it is not working and whilst the cursor is stood in a shell window, pressing the hotkey WIN+r generates the keypresses sr Has anyone seen this behaviour before and know of a durable fix short of scripting plasma startup with a delayed kill+restart of kglobalaccel5?

[arch-general] Kernel modules not loaded after Linux update
by Peter Nabbefeld 23 Jul '18

23 Jul '18

Hello, I've updated my installation yesterday, also doing an update of the Linux kernel to 4.17.8. When starting this morning, kernel modules rejected to load, so I even couldn't access the internet. I've downgraded Linux now to 4.17.2, but still have some problems (probably because I only downgraded the kernel itself). I cannot find the error message from the service again, sorry, so I cannot tell You, it had to do with some security parameter not set. According to the description of kernel downgrading in the wiki, I should have downgraded linux-headers, too, but these are not in my package cache - are they included in the kernel package now? How can I find out, which other kernel modules need to be downgraded? Kind regards Peter

When you are in the live iso connect to internet like normal and chroot into your system, then install the kernel firmware required. This will also let you do some other work that cannot be done in your system currently :-) Hope this helped you a little!

[arch-general] Latest openssh - Premier connectivity tool for remote login with the SSH protocol?
by David C. Rankin 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

All, I have several scripts that perform backup work between six or so machines, all Arch. The script uses rsync to make approximately 6 connections to each server and transfer 100 directories from various parts of the filesystem. After the latest update to openssh 7.7p1-2, the time to connect feels like it has quadrupled. For example, in the past, when the script ran, a connection, check if files are newer and logout took less than a second. (it's a pilot thing, every time I'm watching something with an interest in the time is 1-1000, 2-1000, 3-1000, etc..) Now that 1-sec negotiation, check and logout has ballooned to 4-seconds, e.g. Jul 17 09:20:24 phoinix sshd[2652]: Accepted publickey for david from 66.76.46.195 port 59956 ssh2: ECDSA SHA256:97TPKWvaGks+sjneobeoY9RpK1Hznnh8xJCjbcAWrkQ Jul 17 09:20:24 phoinix sshd[2652]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user david by (uid=0) Jul 17 09:20:24 phoinix systemd-logind[408]: New session c18 of user david.

[arch-general] Which MTA to use to store mails?
by Peter Nabbefeld 03 Jul '18

03 Jul '18

Hello, topic is probably not so precise. What I want is the following: - I've got some Email/IMAP account. - My mail is hosted on a server by GMX. - I've got too many Emails on the host. - I don't want to loose any of the emails. - So I will have to install my own mail server, fetching all my emails from the host. - The mail server will then have to interact with my providers server like a client, working as a server for me. I'm sure there're some good servers, but I don't know which one - works as expected, - and is easy to configure. Any help appreciated. Kind regards Peter

[arch-general] XFCE removable storage unmount notification gone
by Paul Marwick 25 Jun '18

25 Jun '18

I'm running three copies of Arch with XFCE as DE. Recently I've noticed that the normal desktop notification when a removable storage device is unmount has gone. As a test, I turned on auto-mount. When a USB drive is plugged in, I'm still getting mount notifications, but nothing when the device is unmounted. The only indication I see that the device has unmounted is a change to the desktop icon. One of my Arch installs isn't used all that often, so hasn't been updated recently. Its still showing both mount and unmount notifications. Trouble is, I can go for fairly long periods without using removable media, so I've no real idea what update caused the change. No idea how to hunt for it either. Anyone else seeing this behaviour? Any ideas how to fix it? Paul.

[arch-general] Upgrade to Linux 4.17.2 & xorg-server 1.20.0-8 breaks left-mouse in remote Linux desktops
by David C. Rankin 22 Jun '18

22 Jun '18

All, This is a strange one, confirmed on two separate Archlinux Guests running in VirtualBox on Archlinux Hosts. I access the running VMs with rdesktop over the LAN. After update to Linux 4.17.2 & xorg-server 1.20.0-8, VirtualBox-5.2.12 starts the Archlinux guests fine, X starts fine in the guests (running fluxbox), and pressing the right-mouse brings up the fluxbox-menu fine, but there is no way to select an item with the left-mouse. The left-mouse click seems to be taken as an escape closing the menu without actually selecting anything. It is as if the left-mouse (and cursor position in general) isn't seen at all (there is no highlight in the menu when the mouse moves over an item) Thankfully, the fluxbox designers made the menu respond to keyboard inputs, so after bringing the fluxbox-menu up, I can up-arrow/down-arrow to an xterm entry and open an xterm by pressing return. When the xterm is open, there is no way to grab the title-bar and move the xterm around, again, as if the left-mouse input isn't seen. An moving the cursor over the bottom of the window will not bring up the taskbar. This effects Linux guest, but not windows guests. I can start Win7 in a VM and opening in remote-desktop works just fine. (all mouse buttons work fine and the cursor position tracks properly bringing up the auto-hidden taskbar on mouseover) Can someone with a similar VirtualBox setup confirm this behavior? I suspect it would effect any Linux Guest that runs X and a desktop and is accessed with rdesktop. For all practical purposes this update prevent accessing Linux guest with rdesktop. I start my virtual machines from a simple bash script using: exec VBoxManage startvm arch_1_64 --type headless (I doubt that makes a difference, but for completeness) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Hi everyone, I am having an issue which is bothering me recently; I have set up properly the default browser within LXDE but the links are not handled properly. What it happens is that I click on a link and a windows opens returning Error: $HOME/$URL: Not existing file or directory Where $HOME is my home path and $URL is the target URL. I have no clue regarding what configuration makes it so. Any suggestions?

[arch-general] List of devices with poor Linux compatibility
by Andrey Ponomarenko 21 Jun '18

21 Jun '18

Hello, A new open project has been created to collect the list of computer hardware devices with poor Linux compatibility based on the Linux-Hardware.org data: https://github.com/linuxhw/HWInfo There are about 29 thousands of depersonalized hwinfo reports (https://github.com/openSUSE/hwinfo) in the repository from Linux-powered computers in various configurations. The device is included into the list of poorly supported devices if there is at least one user probe in which the driver for this device was not found. The column 'Missed' indicates the percentage of such probes. If the number is small, it means that the driver was added in newer versions of the kernel. In this case we show minimal version of the Linux kernel in which the driver was present. Devices are divided into categories. For each category we calculate the ratio of poorly supported devices to the total number of devices tested in this category. Everyone can contribute to this repository by uploading probes of their computers by the hw-probe tool: https://github.com/linuxhw/hw-probe Thanks to all for attention and new computer probes!

I'm running Arch in VBox under Windows and I'm getting similar behavior since I've upgraded xorg-server, xorg-server-common, libinput. I had updated the kernel in a previous step and I don't remember seeing this behavior after upgrading just the kernel (and not xorg-server). I've logged lipinput generated events and they seem ok (all mouse activity is captured by the kernel/libinput driver). However, testing the xorg events (xev) seems consistent with X behavior: no events comming to X from libinp. Another thing: my keyboard input also got stuck for a couple of times. Therefore, maybe we should log a xorg-server bug? P.S.: One partial workaround (making the left-click work): find a region/window where the right-click works and right-click. After that you have a chance of getting the left-click working for a limited (single?) left-click event.

[arch-general] Best way to customize PS1
by Matthias Bodenbinder 19 Jun '18

19 Jun '18

Hi, with the last update of bash I realized that it overwrites /etc/bash.bashrc without .pacsave or .pacnew. Since I had customizations in /etc/bash.bashrc I am wondering now where to put those customizations instead. I understand that /etc/profile and /etc/profile.d/* is a good place to customize environment variables. But it is not good for setting PS1 (and aliases by the way). PS1 is also set to a default value in /etc/bash.bashrc. And since /etc/bash.bashrc is sourced after all the /etc/profile* stuff it overwrites the customization. So what is the best place to customize PS1? /etc/skel/ is no solution since it only takes effect when a new user is created. /etc/environment is no good solution since it does not support if/then conditions. And, by the way, why is the bash package not making use of.pacsave/.pacnew. A simple "backup etc/bash.bashrc" in .PKGINFO would help a lot. There is also an old issue in the tracker talking about the "/etc/bash.bashrc overwrite" topic: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/21540 But without solution. Matthias

[arch-general] Is sftp_kio broken in latest Plasma updates?

16 Jun '18

Can someone confirm whether the sftp_kio (used, e.g. in the file-open or file-save dialog in kate/kwrite to open/save files to a remote server) is working as of the latest Plasma updates? When I attempt to connect to my local server (tried both LAN and WAN connections), I get the error dialog: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The host key for this server was not found, but another type of key exists. An attacker might change the default server key to confuse your client into thinking the key does not exist. Please contact your system administrator. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have tried saving via the hosts in my QuickList (on the left side of the file-save dialog) and by manually entering sftp://host/path/to/file and the error is the same each time. I can ssh and sftp from konsole to all the host without any problem. If this is confirmed, should this bug be filed with arch or upstream? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] plasma-vault hard depends on networkmanager
by Jagannathan Tiruvallur Eachambadi 15 Jun '18

15 Jun '18

Hey plasma-vault seems to be using networkmanager to detect connectivity for a feature in plasma-vault that disables internet upon opening certain vaults. Although this feature can be useful, not everyone uses networkmanager and it already caused an issue when I rebooted after installing updates. networkmanager seems to be enabled by default and conflicted with my current setup. I tried to build plasma-vault without networkmanager-qt but it failed. For now I am removing plasma-vault but can this be considered a bug since plasma-workspace by itself doesn't need networkmanager but it is only a optional dependency. -- Regards Jagan

Hi, This morning's `pacman -Su' encountered (10/13) upgrading mlocate [######################] 100% warning: directory permissions differ on /var/lib/mlocate/ filesystem: 750 package: 755 (11/13) upgrading xkeyboard-config [######################] 100% when upgrading from version 0.26-6 to 0.26.git.20170220-1.

[arch-general] sshd - limiting sequential no. or files opened via sftp in kate?
by David C. Rankin 08 Jun '18

08 Jun '18

All, Not sure where to look for this. I have always kept kate projects different things like, different application development, different web-site editing, etc... Many of the projects I keep on my Arch server and have kate open the files via the sftp kioslave (or whatever it is called now) For some reason, now when I open remote projects on the server, the first 15 or so files open without issue. Anything over that fails with a connection error and the files are opened as "Untitled" and are empty (simply pressing "Reload" completes the opening without issue), but that has to occur after kate is open, and not when the project is attempting to load the files sequentially all at once. The journal shows no error, just the normal sshd key authorization, etc. as session through (c17) are opened, e.g. Jun 07 01:29:04 valkyrie sshd[9269]: Accepted publickey for david from 192.168.6.104 port 56170 ssh2: ECDSA SHA256:97TPKWvaGks+sjneobeoY9RpK1Hznnh8xJCjbcAWrkQ Jun 07 01:29:04 valkyrie sshd[9268]: Accepted publickey for david from 192.168.6.104 port 56168 ssh2: ECDSA SHA256:97TPKWvaGks+sjneobeoY9RpK1Hznnh8xJCjbcAWrkQ Jun 07 01:29:04 valkyrie sshd[9269]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user david by (uid=0) Jun 07 01:29:04 valkyrie sshd[9268]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user david by (uid=0) Jun 07 01:29:04 valkyrie systemd-logind[539]: New session c5 of user david.

Jun 07 01:29:05 valkyrie sshd[9274]: userauth_pubkey: key type ssh-dss not in PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes [preauth] Jun 07 01:29:05 valkyrie sshd[9275]: userauth_pubkey: key type ssh-dss not in PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes [preauth] Jun 07 01:29:05 valkyrie sshd[9272]: userauth_pubkey: key type ssh-dss not in PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes [preauth] Jun 07 01:29:05 valkyrie sshd[9274]: Accepted publickey for david from 192.168.6.104 port 56174 ssh2: ECDSA SHA256:97TPKWvaGks+sjneobeoY9RpK1Hznnh8xJCjbcAWrkQ Jun 07 01:29:05 valkyrie sshd[9274]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user david by (uid=0) Jun 07 01:29:05 valkyrie systemd-logind[539]: New session c7 of user david. Jun 07 01:29:05 valkyrie systemd[1]: Started Session c7 of user david. ... I don't see any failures at all in the logs, which I would expect given the connection failure. Any ideas on what could be causing this? I don't any longer, but there were times in the past I would have 120 files in a project and had no problems at all opening the project either across the LAN or remotes via the internet on my office server. So this seems like it is some protection designed to prevent hackers from hammering your server with ssh requests -- but it seems like it is having the side effect of preventing me from loading projects with more than say 20 files via sftp. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] nvidia-lts version
by Hering 05 Jun '18

05 Jun '18

Hello, is there a reason why the current nvidia-lts version is 396.24 but when checking https://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html it says it should be 390.67? I am asking because the current nvidia-driver is causing problems with Unity here and I was hoping to fall back to the nvidia-lts package until things are fixed. But they seem to be the same version in the repo currently. Best, Marc

[arch-general] KDE plasma, baloo and UI/video playback freezes
by Francesco Porro 02 Jun '18

02 Jun '18

Hi, My problem is: when I'm watching a video, running Konversation in the background with logging on disk enabled, the playback of video slows down, freezes for a while. Running iotop and ksysguard I found that baloo_file_extractor is writing on disk a big amount of data, filling the write queue; balooct monitor shows baloo is indexing Konversation's logs file changes. Peaks of 60-90 MB/s of data on mechanical hdd are generated and the playback of videos (or audio, or other GUI-related tasks) slow down or freeze. Very very annoying. I'm running updated versions of: KDE plasma (5.12.5), kernel (4.16.7), baloo (5.45); CFQ I/O scheduler on sda. On the same machine, the same version of softwares, the same configurations (of programs, mounts, IO scheduler) BUT on a Debian sid install (home is shared between installs) is NOT showing the same issue. On Debian, playback is running smootly even if baloo_file_extractor is heavly loading IO writes queue. On each installation I added this tweaks, to improve Vm management by the kernel: [frapox@tungsteno ~]$ cat /etc/sysctl.d/local.conf vm.dirty_background_ratio = 2 vm.dirty_ratio = 5 vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 60 I also tried to recompile the Arch kernel with CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y, to reflect the same default compile setting of Debian, but the issue wasn't solved. So i'm wondering which other config files or settings/tweaks I can look into to overcome this issue on Arch linux (I'd really love to keep on use Arch as my main OS). Thanks in advance. -- fp

[arch-general] Why on 1st run does pacman -Qi take so long? (15 seconds waiting for Qi?)
by David C. Rankin 02 Jun '18

02 Jun '18

This is new, after the latest pacman update along with 4.6.13, when running $ pacman -Qi somepackage for the first time it takes 15 seconds for any response. E.g., $ time pmqi colord Name : colord Version : 1.4.3-1 Description : System daemon for managing color devices Architecture : x86_64 URL : https://www.freedesktop.org/software/colord Licenses : GPL2 Groups : None Provides : None Depends On : lcms2 libgusb polkit sqlite systemd dconf dbus libgudev shared-mime-info Optional Deps : argyllcms: color profiling colord-sane: SANE support Required By : gtk3 Optional For : cups Conflicts With : None Replaces : shared-color-profiles Installed Size : 6.60 MiB Packager : Jan Alexander Steffens (heftig) <jan.steffens(a)gmail.com> Build Date : Sat 21 Apr 2018 02:58:03 PM CDT Install Date : Sun 22 Apr 2018 09:59:37 PM CDT Install Reason : Installed as a dependency for another package Install Script : No Validated By : Signature real 0m15.083s user 0m0.011s sys 0m0.194s That's 15 seconds waiting for something that wasn't there before? Subsequent -Qi queries are against near instantaneous as they have always been. Is there something new that causes some type of handshake or authentication that takes time to establish on 1st call. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Hi! With the split of pacman packagein pacman and pacman-contrib, the Archlinux ISO of current month (2018.06.01) lost the rankmirrors. I think that the ISO should include the pacman-contrib package because the use of rankmirrors is a recommended task in Arch installation.

Indeed. Is it for consumption of users whose shell you don't know? Is it for scripts, like cron jobs?

[arch-general] Where can I 'setterm -blank 5 -powerdown 6' as part of the boot process/systemd startup?
by David C. Rankin 01 Jun '18

01 Jun '18

All, /sys/module/kernel/parameters/consoleblank is set to 0 by default in a change that occurred a while back. Since then, the normal text console will no longer blank or powerdown leaving your monitor on 24/7. This affects a couple of Arch servers I have. Since then I have just been turning the monitors off. Where in the boot/systemd startup can I call setterm to re-enable to normal console blank and powerdown? Remotely I can call: # TERM=linux setterm -blank 5 -powerdown 6 >/dev/tty0 </dev/tty0 to enable blank and powerdown post-boot, but I simply want to set this to be the default. Where best to set this? (passing the kernel parameter 'consoleblank=300' does not enable powerdown, so both must be set) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] nftables partially broken after kernel update to 4.16.9

Hi all, I just updated one of my computer to 4.16.9. After update, the following nft commands will not work: nft add table ip nat <--- this one works without error nft add chain ip nat prerouting { type nat hook prerouting priority 0 \; } ^ This will give me the following error message: Could not process rule: Device or resource busy. However, the default simple firewall still works. I have another computer that is still on 4.16.8, and the example above works; further, switching back to a lts kernel (4.14.41) also works. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I'd prefer to stay on the default kernel, because I don't have enough knowledge (and time or will) to maintain a custom kernel.

[arch-general] Arch, blk-mq and megaraid_sas
by Randy DuCharme 23 May '18

23 May '18

Greetings, I'm still fooling around with this problem (scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=y fails to boot) but made *some* progress. I've found that it takes about 20-25 seconds after it dumps me into an emergency shell for the disk device nodes to show up, but when they do I can mount the root slice to /new_root, exit, and it boots and runs fine with blk-mq enabled. The thing is, it finds my root drive, which is attached to the first SATA port as /dev/sdcX, putting the 2 arrays I have on the controller as /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 and no amount of BIOS fiddling seems to help. (board's an ASUS Crosshair-V Formula-Z) I've even disabled the controller as a boot candidate in CMOS and this behavior still exists. To further confound me; for grins I set up RHEL-7.5 on another drive and for some reason I don't understand, it finds the first SATA drive as /dev/sdaX. Is there some way to force Arch to do the same. I'm rather curious if that'll solve the boot issue I'm experiencing with this system. Many thanks! -- Randall DuCharme (Radio AD5GB) Powered entirely by Open Source software.

[arch-general] X11 keyboard layout and vmware
by Łukasz Michalski 21 May '18

21 May '18

Hi, I have vmware workstation player 14 on Windows10 host. Installed arch from 05.01.2018 iso, lightdm and xfce4 desktop. I added vmware-tools from AUR[1] to have 2D hardware acceleration. Somehow vmware won't let me use polish keyboard in X11 applications. Alt-gr + a (ą) and rest of polish letters works under xfce-terminal but does nothing in geany or other X11 apps. So I copied vmdk to VirtualBox, regenerated kernel image using mkinitcpio -p linux and start VM under VirtualBox. After logging into xfce polish keyboard works as expected - without any configuration changes. Anyone has idea what could be wrong? [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vmware-tools/

[arch-general] Video descriptions with VLC and MiniDLNA/RealMeadia?
by Peter Nabbefeld 20 May '18

20 May '18

Hello, I'd like to see some descriptive text for videos streamed into my LAN by minidlna using a VLC client. I've already set some tags in the mp4 files (including title and comment tags). While the filename is replaced by the title, I cannot see the the provided comment, not even when selecting "information" from the entry's context menu. I don't know, if this is a problem of the server or the client, so I'd be glad if somebody could help me. Kind regards Peter

[arch-general] How to access mythes or other thesaurus from the commandline?
by Jeanette C. 19 May '18

19 May '18

Hey hey, is there a tool in the Arch repositories, including AUR, that can access a thesaurus like mythes from the commandline? I've read about an example program coming with the source distribution of mythes, but couldn't find anything on my system. Before finding and installing sources, I'd much rather install a maintained package.

[arch-general] scsi_mod.use_blk_mq (revisited)
by Randy DuCharme 11 May '18

11 May '18

Greetings again, I've been continuing to fool with this. I'm hoping someone smarter than I can shed a little more light on it. Here's what I've discovered since my last post..... It seems that on my system, it takes more than the allowed 10 seconds for the disks to appear. I removed "quiet" from my boot command line and it timed out looking for UUID=xxxx..... . So I looked for it and it definitely was not there. None of the sdXx devices were. I looked again, and yet again (ls /dev/sd*) and after about the 3rd or 4th attempt they showed up. So then, I mounted /dev/sdc3 to /new_root/, typed 'exit' and after a warning about possibly failing to run as a user instance, it booted. Any clues as to why this occurs? I'm trying to find a way to increase the pre-boot disk probe timer if possible. So far, all I've found are tips about speeding up the boot process, not slowing it down. Many thanks in advance. -- Randall DuCharme (Radio AD5GB) Powered entirely by Open Source software.

[arch-general] Less Modified Files from Updates.
by Ralph Corderoy 11 May '18

11 May '18

Hi, After a `pacman -Su', I run this ~/bin/oldpkg script #! /bin/sh sudo lsof -n +c0 | sed -n '1{p;d}; /DEL/{p;d}; / (deleted)$/{p;d}' | g -v ' /(SYSV00000000|dev/shm/org\.chromium\.......|memfd:pulseaudio|tmp/#[0-9]{5,7})\>' | sed '1{h; d}; 2{x; G}' to show open files that are deleted. This helps spot things like Postfix needing a restart, or xfce4-terminal running with old libraries, that kind of thing. A lot of the time I can selectively restart things, log out and back in, etc., to avoid a reboot. Quite often, these three data files appear, /usr/share/icons/gnome/icon-theme.cache /usr/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache /usr/share/mime/mime.cache triggered by /usr/share/libalpm/hooks. Based on the updated packages, I'm guessing a lot of the time the before and after content is the same, but the file has been re-created and moved in place of the old one anyway. A cmp(1) could avoid the unnecessary churn, though I see it's more complex when an external command is exec'd rather than the re-build done directly. Even so, things like update-mime-database(1) used in update-mime-database.hook has a `-n' option that looks like it might often avoid the new inode. -n Only update if MIME-DIR/packages/ or a file in that directory is newer than MIME-DIR/version. This is useful for package pre- and post-installation scripts. Can churn be reduced? Or am I on the wrong track it detecting what needs to take note of new files? -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy

[arch-general] Missing rc-local.service
by Marek Howard 09 May '18

Hello, I'd like to use /etc/rc.local and noticed, that there's something called systemd-rc-local-generator which should somehow pull in rc-local.service on boot, according to its man page. But on my ArchLinux, the service file isn't there, and neither does /etc/rc.local run on boot. Is the systemd in ArchLinux packaged correctly?

[arch-general] latest kernel broken?
by Randy DuCharme 08 May '18

08 May '18

Greetings, Just updated my system (pacman -Syu) and was dumped into an emergency shell on reboot. Seems my boot command line option (scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=1) was no longer acceptable. LOL. I haven't seen anything that indicated this was deprecated or obsolete. System is fairly simple. Asus CrosshairV - Formula Z + FX9590. Main disk is a 2T Barracuda and a handfull of WD Raptors on an LSI-9260. System comes up fine removing the boot option.

[arch-general] Broke Arch trying to change graphics driver
by Junayeed Ahnaf 06 May '18

06 May '18

Hi, So here's what happened, I was facing issue with proprietary nVidia driver (screen tearing) so I thought I want to switch to the free one, so I uninstalled nvidia with "pacman -Rs nvidia" , then I thought might as well try a different kernel and installed zen. Now when I boot into either kernel I am seeing "Starting display manager" then a black screen. I can login to tty2 , but no display comes up. I want to switch back to free driver, with preferably zen kernel. What should I do? Thanks in advance.

Wondering why the main kernel has been reconfigured from CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE to CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL? The config help has this to say regarding CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL: "This is implemented at the expense of some overhead in user <-> kernel transitions: syscalls, exceptions and interrupts.

[arch-general] Update to samba, smbclient, libwbclient breaks standalone file service/cifs mounts
by David C. Rankin 25 Apr '18

25 Apr '18

All, The samba, smbclient, libwbclient from 4.7.6 to 4.8 breaks role=standalone breaks the standalone file-server and cifs mounts. Gone with 4.8 are the nmbd.service and smbd.service. Standalone servers should use windbind.service for file sharing and cifs mounts -- but it does not work. After tonight's update to 4.8.0 all cifs mounts were left unreachable. This after disabling nmbd and smbd, enabling winbind and starting windbind (which started fine) all cifs-mounts to phx (my Arch server) were broken and completely inaccessible triggering a weird "Host is down" message simply trying to `ls -al` the /mnt directory, e.g.: $ l /mnt ls: cannot access /mnt/phx: Host is down ls: cannot access /mnt/phx-david: Host is down ls: cannot access /mnt/phx-cfg: Host is down total 41 drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 Oct 25 13:13 . drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 4096 Sep 4 2012 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 25 13:13 af drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 17 2010 nm drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 17 2010 nm-cfg drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 17 2010 nm-david d????????? ? ? ? ? ? phx d????????? ? ? ? ? ? phx-cfg d????????? ? ? ? ? ? phx-david drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 568 Jan 22 2008 pv drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 14 2016 sdd drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 17 2010 usb drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 13 2016 usb2 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 3 2011 win Downgrading to 4.7.6 restore full functionality.

[arch-general] Verifying a "privilege dropping" issue with ZeroTier One
by Jonathon Fernyhough 24 Apr '18

24 Apr '18

Hello all! Summary: Can anyone who uses ZeroTier replicate this issue with vanilla Arch? https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne/issues/714 Description: I've come across an issue [1] with ZeroTier One which currently manifests after adding an unprivileged `zerotier-one` user to my Manjaro system; ZT can't set IP address and route. This previously worked fine so I want to find out whether e.g. it's a change in the kernel, and particularly whether it's isolated to Manjaro or shared by Arch. It doesn't manifest on any of my Debian and Ubuntu systems. Details: Debian- and RH-based distro packages automatically add the unprivileged user [2][3] (there's nothing "fancy" to the `adduser`/`useradd` command). The Arch package doesn't do this. With the unprivileged user present ZT can't add IP address or route, even when run with the "don't drop privileges" switch (sudo zerotier-one -U). Trying to do some digging, the most recent related change to ZeroTier was [4] on 17th April 2017, 1.2.4 was released 24th April 2017, so the required privileges in the commit should be current to 1.2.4: 952 + // dropPrivileges switches to zerotier-one user while retaining CAP_NET_ADMIN 953 + // and CAP_NET_RAW capabilities. This used to work up until fairly recently, perhaps a month or so ago is the last time I _know_ it worked. I've tested with Manjaro kernels 4.14.34, 4.15.17, and 4.16.2, all with the same result. I suspect it to be kernel-related given the capability requirements and the ever-onward march of kernel updates. However, I'm not an expert in kernel-related stuff so could be looking at entirely the wrong thing. Thank you for reading, and feel free to point me to somewhere more suitable if this isn't the best place!

[arch-general] Kernel 4.16 - two entries in /dev/video for one webcam
by Marc Ranolfi 22 Apr '18

22 Apr '18

Hi, I use skypeforlinux-stable-bin-8.18.0.6-1 and an USB webcam. Upon updating to the 4.16 series kernel, I noticed my webcam was not working in Skype, but instead a black screen was shown. Then, after checking 'ls -ltrh /dev/video*' I found these: crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 1 Apr 21 21:11 /dev/video1 crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 0 Apr 21 21:11 /dev/video0 This suggested that a "second" device was being detected. I launched Skype again and found it was possible to actually change the input video device to this, and it worked. Any clues on why the new kernel is creating two video devices for one hardware?

[arch-general] Patch for ZeroTier One 1.2.6 to fix compilation with PIE

Hi both! After doing some digging around the PIE-related build failures of ZeroTier One [1] 1.2.6 I've developed a fix and opened a PR to the upstream project [2]. The raw patch file is also available [3]. It will apply cleanly against the 1.2.6 release (archive/tag) and, in the testing I've done so far, works without issue.

[arch-general] How best to adapt grub configuration?
by Jeanette C. 16 Apr '18

Hey hey, how would I best adapt Grub's configuration file (gurb.cfg)? The usecase: I use Grub's play command to play different melodies for different entries and one when Grub is ready to be used. The reason behind it: I'm blind and like to know quite early on what is happening. Where would I best put these changes so they will survive Grub updates and regeneration of the config file?

[arch-general] procps-ng 3.3.13 and its new topdefaultrc
by Jonathon Fernyhough 12 Apr '18

12 Apr '18

Much as I'm wary about raising this after last time... here goes. Really just putting this out there as a thing to consider if it's not already known about. With 3.3.13, upstream introduced support for a system-wide default toprc, /etc/topdefaultrc [1]. This is their "recommended" way of setting sensible/usable/accessible defaults rather than the "all or nothing" --disable-modern-top. I don't know what the specific implementation differences are between the two (e.g. whether topdefaultrc is compatible with/overrides --disable-modern-top) but it should provide an approach more "aligned to upstream". Coming up with a "sensible default", on the other hand, is likely to be more complicated... (I've gone for an htop-like scheme with a nice green 'column heads', idle tasks off (i), Zero-Suppress on (0), for Manjaro [2].)

[arch-general] Interesting Dual Boot Problems
by Hunter Jozwiak 11 Apr '18

11 Apr '18

Hello, I installed Windows 10 recently, and now I am having wifi issues. On the Windows side, the campus wifi will connect, but it will show that there is no internet connection. Booting in to Linux causes pings to fail with temporary failure in host resolution, and ip link shows that the wifi device is down. Doing sudo ip link set dev wlp3s0 up has no effect; from what I can tell, it is stuck in a permenant down state. dmesg reports that the "link is not ready". I've tried restarting the netctl profile for the campus network, restarting dhcp, resetting the pci device, but alas, things seem to be very broken. I am using a Killer n1525 network card. Has anyone else had a similar issue, and if so, how did you resolve it? Thanks, Hunter

[arch-general] Xorg/Firefox problems
by Peter Nabbefeld 11 Apr '18

11 Apr '18

Hello, since some time I've got problems with Xorg, it seems, sometimes the sessionmanager isn't initialised correctly: The application bar (menues, workspaces etc.) isn't shown, I have to shutdown Xorg right-clicking on the desktop for the menu and restart it. This isn't such a big problem, so I didn't ask for that before. Since Firefox changed to Quantum, I've got another problem with browser windows, which might be related: Browser windows don't open correctly, content often isn't shown. This _is_ a problem for me, as I don't want to look for everything again. Did anybody else have the same problems? How can I solve these? Kind regards Peter

[arch-general] valgrind 3.13.0-6 exclusions broken again
by David C. Rankin 08 Apr '18

08 Apr '18

Devs, valgrind is reporting more memory allocated than actual. This occurred a couple of months back as well, was resolved, and is now apparently back again? I don't know if this is a regression, but for each allocation, an additional allocation is reported and up to 2^10 additional bytes are reported. Here is a short example where 1 allocation of 10-bytes is made: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #define NVAL 10 int main (void) { char *a = calloc (NVAL, sizeof *a); if (!a) { perror ("calloc - a"); return 1; } /* fill with [a-i] and output */ for (int i = 0; i < NVAL - 1; i++) a[i] = 'a' + i; printf ("a: '%s' (1 alloc - %lu bytes)\n", a, sizeof *a * NVAL); free (a); } However, valgrind reports 2 allocations and 1034-bytes (10 + 2^10), e.g. $ valgrind ./bin/valgrindchk ==1134== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==1134== Copyright (C) 2002-2017, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==1134== Using Valgrind-3.13.0 and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info ==1134== Command: ./bin/valgrindchk ==1134== a: 'abcdefghi' (1 alloc - 10 bytes) ==1134== ==1134== HEAP SUMMARY: ==1134== in use at exit: 0 bytes in 0 blocks ==1134== total heap usage: 2 allocs, 2 frees, 1,034 bytes allocated ==1134== ==1134== All heap blocks were freed -- no leaks are possible ==1134== ==1134== For counts of detected and suppressed errors, rerun with: -v ==1134== ERROR SUMMARY: 0 errors from 0 contexts (suppressed: 0 from 0) I'm not even using the --atavistic option... If someone can confirm, and let me know if a bug is warranted and I'll happily file one. If I recall correctly, this would be an upstream issue, I don't think Arch messes with the exclusions in any way. Let me know what you think. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

There was never a conflict before. I removed scapy3k, then curiously on one machine, it then proceeded to reinstall, along with scapy. I don't know how either were originally installed, I'd never heard of the package before the conflict popped up. Which should be keep? Or was this a packaging hiccup? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Curious about arch repository policy
by Sudarshan Kakoty 27 Mar '18

27 Mar '18

Hello... I was reading "Arch Wiki" and felt curious about that difference between extra and community repo. Some packages, such as "meson" is in the "extra" repo, whereas "ninja" is in "community" repo. The interesting fact is that - is an implicit dependency to "meson". So why that is (ninja) in the community repo? Also, some critical GNOME specific packages are part of the community repo. Even, some compilers, like Haskell is also part of the community repo. What is the exact difference between extra and community repository? I wonder, Is it really important to have that split? -- Sudarshan Kakoty <skakoty1337(a)yahoo.com>

A warning about a missing service_identity module comes up when deluge-console is used and I am probably not taking all correct steps to install that module to clear this warning.

[arch-general] gtk-sharp-2 conflicts with gtk#
by Morgan Adamiec 22 Mar '18

22 Mar '18

I was doing some packing parsing and my parser failed to parse gtk-sharp-2 from extra. Turns out it's because gtk-sharp-2 conflicts with gtk# and my parser refuses to parse it because of man PKGBUILD stating: PKGNAME: Valid characters for members of this array are alphanumerics, and any of the following characters: “@ . _ + -”. Additionally, names are not allowed to start with hyphens or dots. Now that's for pgkname but I assume that would extend to conflicts and provides or am I mistaken? I'm guessing gtk# used to be a package before those rules were defined and has since been removed. If that's the case I realise that the conflict needs to be there for people who still have gtk# installed. But then again you now have a package in your repos have break your own standards. I don't know if its a good idea to remove that conflict, that's up to the devs. Would just like to know what you think before i go and patch the parser to allow '#'.

[arch-general] Re-install of Arch on a larger drive

Hi all- I currently have Arch running on a 250GB drive, and I'm going to be moving to a 500GB drive. I'm looking for 'best practices' when it comes to the migrating as much as possible during the re-install. It appears that I can migrate my installed packages (standard and AUR repos) via: pacman -Qqe > pkglist.txt and then on the new install, I can use the pkglist.txt generated previously to: pacman -S - < pkglist.txt In addition, by backing up and migrating much of my /home partition (to include 'hidden' config files, anything else I could do to make the process fast and as close to the current install as possible?

[arch-general] Update to 4.15.8 on dual quad-core box locked on ( 3/16) Install DKMS modules, need help resurecting
by David C. Rankin 17 Mar '18

17 Mar '18

All, I experienced a hard lockup during kernel update to 4.15.8 on a Supermicro Dual Opteron Quad-core box. I've updated this box 50 times without issue, but something caused a hardlock. The filesystems are on mdadm linux-raid 1 partitions. The hardlock occurred after the packages were installed and it was in postprocessing at: ( 3/16) Install DKMS modules Now on boot I receive: Warning: /lib/modules/4.15.8-1-ARCH/modules.devname not found - ignoring starting version 237 ERROR: devide `UUID=c7492ac0-e805...` not found. Skipping fsck. mount: /new_root: can't find UUID UUID=c7492ac0-e805... You are being dropped into an emergency shell. sh: can't access tty; job control turned off [rootfs ]# (and the box hardlocks) So I downloaded the 201803 iso to try and fix the box. I have to boot from CD, since this box does not boot from USB. So I burn the .iso to CD (making sure the CD Label is `ARCH_201803`) and boot the box again in attempt to fix it: All goes well until... :: Mounting '/dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201803' to '/run/archiso/bootmnt' Waiting 30 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201803 ...

Falling back to interactive prompt You can try to fix the problem manually, log out when you are finished sh: can't access tty; job control tuned off [rootfs ]# (thankfully this prompt is not hardlocked) This is bizarre, I've created the iso, sha1sums are correct, CD label is 'ARCH_201803', but the iso won't boot. I've researched, but these solutions don't solve the problem: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=195671 https://superuser.com/questions/519784/error-installing-arch-linux https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1318400 Check /dev/disk from the recovery prompt, there is no "by-label" directory under /dev/disk to begin with. Attempting to create 'by-label' and softlinking /dev/sr0 to /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201803 does create a series of additional errors I/O errors concluding with, mount: /run/archiso/bootmnt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0, missing codepage or helper system .... So I'm snakebit and need help. I've never had the system lock during kernel update before and it has left part of the system thinking it has 4.15.7 and the rest thinking it is 4.15.8 (but the 4.15.8 update never finished) (1) How do I go about recovering? 4.15.7 was A-OK. I'm not sure what part of the install is still 4.15.7 and what's 4.15.8. 59 packages were updated, including the kernel and lts-kernel, but the initramfs was never regenerated due to the failure at the 'Install DKMS modules' phase. If I can get the ARCH_201803 install media to boot properly -- what next? (2) How do I get around the ERROR: '/dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201803' device did not show up after 30 seconds problem? The disk label is correct, it's just not being seen and mounted by the installer to /run/archiso/bootmnt Any help greatly appreciated. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] gcc broken - Arch specific, applying optimization incorrectly - may explain unexplained problems
by David C. Rankin 16 Mar '18

16 Mar '18

Houston -- we have a problem. The problem is gcc is mis-applying optimizations, and it seems Arch specific. See discussion: [Why does not execute printf inside function?] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49248787/why-does-not-execute-printf-in… The basic issue can be summarized in this short snippet: #include <stdio.h> int arr[10]; int func() { printf ("In func\n"); return 0; } int main (void) { if (&arr[func()]) printf("In main\n"); return 0; } Compile (with or without optimization) and the output on Archlinux (all packages current as of 1hr ago) and you get: $ ./bin/if2 In main That is wrong. `func()` has been completely optimized out of the procedure in main(). The assembly generated omits any call to func. (full assembly posted as part of the answer on SO) Debian gcc 7.3 does not exhibit this same behavior. I do not know where to start looking to find why this is happening, but it does not take much of a stretch to see how this could be the root cause of some of the "unexplained" errors I and others have seen in the past few days on Arch. Let me know if I need to file a bug here. Since it "works on Debian" and not here, I suspect the bug should start here and so the default optimization we package with can be eliminated. What say the devs? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] KDE - desktop shortcuts, desktop effects lost on latest update?
by David C. Rankin 15 Mar '18

15 Mar '18

All, I don't know if this is KDE or Arch, but on update to KDE Frameworks 5.44 and Qt 5.10, much of the desktop keyboard shortcuts I had for next->desktop, window->next->desktop, etc.. are just gone. Also gone are the desktop effect for "Minimize" (the old wobbly windows), and the Desktop Cube no longer has default activation (which was ctrl+f11 and the variants for sphere, etc... It appears those effects and the other shortcut keys were just removed from KDE. Has anybody else experienced this? This is on a spare drive to my laptop that I use infrequently, with 30 - 60 days between drive installs and updates. Best I can recall they were working fine around the beginning of the year, but now it was just like they were not there today. The dialog for the minimize effect is gone completely. The Desktop Cube can still be selected for paging, but the control key combination no longer invoke that animation? It's like they were ditched by Plasma. Were these deprecated with some kind of notice somewhere? I've checked kde.org, and searched, but did not find any notice that they had been removed. Anyone notice anything similar? -- David C.

[arch-general] Xorg crashes
by Peter Nabbefeld 15 Mar '18

15 Mar '18

Hello all, since yesterday, Xorg sometimes crashes unexpectedly. Please, see log below. I'm not sure, but I'm using Firefox most time, and Xorg crashes while I'm using Firefox. I'm no expert, but on a first glance, it seems to me like my touchpad accumulates mouse movements and so the input device gives the wrong coordinates to FF which in turn hands them to Xorg which leads to crashes. But of course, I may be totally wrong with this assumption.

[arch-general] mandb - numerous parse failures on run (parallel, fribidi, numactl, pcre2, netpbm, etc..)
by David C. Rankin 15 Mar '18

15 Mar '18

All, Working though the cleaning from the crash during 4.15.8 update, I came across a number of man page problems which I thought were limited to the box that crashed -- however, checking, they affect all my Arch boxes. mandb will ultimately clean them, but I'm curious, is it just me, or does this affect the distro in general. All my boxes are initial install 2016 or earlier. Running # mandb --test will disclose the errors, running mandb alone seems to fix them. In addition to those listed in the title, the following are also showing errors: emacs, gnuplot, inkscape, mjpegtools, cyrus-sasl and several others Is this just something that is expected over time? -- David C.

[arch-general] Keyboard issue with kernel 4.15.5 (possible Arch issue?)
by Jeanette C. 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Hey hey, I updated yesterday, from some;thing like a 4.13 or 4.14 kernel to version 4.15.5 and couldn't use my PS/2 keyboard. I saw the LEDs flashing when the system started, but couldn't get any response from the keyboard upon login. I've managed to get the system going with a USB keyboard. My PS/2 keyboard is rather old. Is it more likely that the keyboard is broken, or is there a chance of a kernel configuration breaking usage of the PS/2 keyboard?

Actually, you can easily create an arch ISO with ZFS embedded into it.

[arch-general] High CPU on one core, but unable to find process responsible
by David Rosenstrauch 13 Mar '18

13 Mar '18

My server's been exhibiting some very strange behavior lately. Every couple of days I run into a situation where one core (core #0) on the quad core CPU starts continuously using around 34% of CPU, but I'm not able to see (using htop) any process that's responsible for using all that CPU. Even when I tell htop to show me kernel threads too, I still am not able to see the offending process. Every process remains under 1% CPU usage (except for occasional, small, short-lived spikes up) yet the CPU usage on that core remains permanently hovering at around 34%. The problem goes away when I reboot, but then comes back with a day or so. I'm rather stumped as to how to fix this. The server is a bit old, running an up-to-date installation of Arch on a Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU. Any suggestions anyone might have as to either what might be going on here, or how to go about debugging it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! DR

It might be good for experimentation and possibly a desktop, but if you're actually storing a lot of files, you probably want a filesystem marked as stable. The fact that it is not marked stable implies the developers still think there is some sort of insufficiency. ZFS is known to be a world-class filesystem and could probably be considered one of the most system agnostic file systems now considering it is available on FreeBSD, Solaris, most Linux distributions, and even Windows and macOS. While the macOS and Windows ports are probably not at a point where they are suitable for widespread use - since they are still fairly new - you could at least mount a pool on those systems and read your data, the same can't be said for btrfs. For anyone not happy with dkms, the archzfs repo [1] offers great support for ZFS in binary form, and I've been using it for a few years now with no problems.

[arch-general] godep has been deprecated in favor of dep
by Adam Levy 11 Mar '18

11 Mar '18

Hello Today I noticed that as of about 30ish days ago godep ( github.com/tools/godep) has been archived and is no longer supported. The go dev team recommends using dep (github.com/golang/dep) instead. As Arch strives to be as up to date as possible I suggest removing godep from the official repos and potentially moving dep into the official repos from the AUR. The AUR dep package appears to be well maintained. Relevant links: https://github.com/tools/godep https://github.com/golang/dep https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dep/ Thanks!

[arch-general] OpenRA / Mono exceptions
by Alajos Odoyle 05 Mar '18

05 Mar '18

Hi all, When trying to run OpenRA from the community repository or when building the package myself (using the community PKGBUILD) I get Mono exceptions like the one below [1]. At first I thought it could be an upstream issue but sure enough it builds just fine when using a clean chroot. As I did not customize the mono package and cannot think of anything else causing this (configuration?), i hope someone here might have some ideas. NB, I never used Mono before - it was auto-installed as a dependency of OpenRA. Thanks, Alajos [1]: Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.Console' threw an exception. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.ConsoleDriver' threw an exception. ---> System.Exception: Magic number is wrong: 542 at System.TermInfoReader.ReadHeader (System.Byte[] buffer, System.Int32& position) [0x00028] in <a84b655e5e6a49ee96b338ec792f5580>:0 at System.TermInfoReader..ctor (System.String term, System.String filename) [0x0005f] in <a84b655e5e6a49ee96b338ec792f5580>:0 at System.TermInfoDriver..ctor (System.String term) [0x00055] in <a84b655e5e6a49ee96b338ec792f5580>:0 at System.ConsoleDriver.CreateTermInfoDriver (System.String term) [0x00000] in <a84b655e5e6a49ee96b338ec792f5580>:0 at System.ConsoleDriver..cctor () [0x0004d] in <a84b655e5e6a49ee96b338ec792f5580>:0 --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Console.SetupStreams (System.Text.Encoding inputEncoding, System.Text.Encoding outputEncoding) [0x00007] in <a84b655e5e6a49ee96b338ec792f5580>:0 at System.Console..cctor () [0x0008e] in <a84b655e5e6a49ee96b338ec792f5580>:0 --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at Mono.CSharp.Driver.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00019] in <2b1e99ce45b54209bdcdab138d9758ae>:0 [ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.Console' threw an exception. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.ConsoleDriver' threw an exception. ---> System.Exception: Magic number is wrong: 542 at System.TermInfoReader.ReadHeader (System.Byte[] buffer, System.Int32& position) [0x00028] in <a84b655e5e6a49ee96b338ec792f5580>:0 at System.TermInfoReader..ctor (System.String term, System.String filename) [0x0005f] in <a84b655e5e6a49ee96b338ec792f5580>:0 at System.TermInfoDriver..ctor (System.String term) [0x00055] in <a84b655e5e6a49ee96b338ec792f5580>:0 at System.ConsoleDriver.CreateTermInfoDriver (System.String term) [0x00000] in <a84b655e5e6a49ee96b338ec792f5580>:0 at System.ConsoleDriver..cctor () [0x0004d] in <a84b655e5e6a49ee96b338ec792f5580>:0 --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Console.SetupStreams (System.Text.Encoding inputEncoding, System.Text.Encoding outputEncoding) [0x00007] in <a84b655e5e6a49ee96b338ec792f5580>:0 at System.Console..cctor () [0x0008e] in <a84b655e5e6a49ee96b338ec792f5580>:0 --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at Mono.CSharp.Driver.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00019] in <2b1e99ce45b54209bdcdab138d9758ae>:0 make: *** [Makefile:278: OpenRA.Game.exe] Error 1

[arch-general] Why no git --depth=1 option for makepkg?
by Adam Levy 05 Mar '18

05 Mar '18

Hi I recently came across this closed feature request for a way to perform a shallow clone with makepkg. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/52957 The closing comment was: Closed by Andrew Gregory (andrewgregory) Monday, 13 February 2017, 17:29 GMT-9 Reason for closing: Won't implement Additional comments about closing: This has been rejected numerous times: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Use r:Apg#makepkg:_shallow_git_clones Which provides a now dead link. Would anyone in the know be willing to explain why this feature is considered outside the scope of makepkg? Clearly if the developers aren't interested in the feature, well then they just won't want to support it. But if there is some rationale behind this I am curious about it. On one hand this is pure curiosity, but on the other hand, I use makepkg and the Arch packaging system multiple times per week so I like to understand the design and the intent. Thank you!

[arch-general] Arch Linux on MacBookPro13,3
by Jeremy Brown 02 Mar '18

02 Mar '18

Hey Arch folks, I have a work-provided laptop which is a MacBookPro13,3; in other words a fairly recent MacBook Pro (one of the touch bar ones). I've shrunk the root partition on it and would like to install Arch on a second partition and use that as my primary OS. I've been able to do this with previous versions of MacBook Pros no problem. However, doing some research it appears as though installing Linux on this hardware is difficult and many of the components either require extensive customization (e.g. building your own drivers) or don't work at all: https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux https://gist.github.com/roadrunner2/1289542a748d9a104e7baec6a92f9cd7 Assuming that page is correct audio, wifi, and suspend not working (or barely working) are going to be dealbreakers for me, I think. I'm going to take a crack at it in the next few days but wondered if anyone in arch-general had any success with similar hardware. Is it livable, or is the driver support and such just not there yet? Cheers, Jeremy

[arch-general] emby-server package outdated
by Patrick Dijkgraaf 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

Hi all, I hope this is the right place to ask, the bugtracker says to use "the Mailing List", but not which Mailing List, for reporting outdated packages... If this is the wrong place, please point me to the right one! Here's the info: * Package name: emby-server * Current version in the Arch repo: 3.2.60.0-1 * Last updated: 2017-12-23 14:43 UTC * Flagged out-of date: 2018-01-18 (shortly after version 3.2.70.0 was released) We are now more than a month later, and another new version has been released, namely 3.3.0.0. What would be the way to go to get this package updated? -- Cheers, Patrick Dijkgraaf

[arch-general] dhcpcd-7.0.1-1 seems to break SLAAC
by Jukka Salmi 26 Feb '18

26 Feb '18

Hello Since upgrading dhcpcd from 6.11.5-1 to 7.0.1-1 my (VLAN) interface doesn't get an IPv6 address (via SLAAC) anymore. The netctl profile in question: Interface=enp0s25.100 Connection=vlan BindsToInterfaces=enp0s25 VLANID=100 IP=dhcp IP6=stateless With dhcpcd-6.11.5-1 starting this netctl profile results in an IPv4 address being configured via DHCP and an IPv6 address being configured via SLAAC as expected. With dhcpcd-7.0.1-1 starting this netctl profile results in an IPv4 address being configured via DHCP, but no IPv6 address is configured. In both cases, netctl passes dhcpcd the same arguments: dhcpcd -4 -q -t 30 -L enp0s25.100 so that's probably not the source of the problem. If I disable IPv4 DHCP (by setting `IP=no' in the above netctl profile), SLAAC works fine again (but of course then I don't get an IPv4 address via DHCP anymore...). Is anybody seeing the same issue? Is really dhcpcd to blame? TIA & cheers, Jukka -- This email fills a much-needed gap in the archives.

[arch-general] linux kernel 4.15.4-1 un-bootable
by David Rosenstrauch 24 Feb '18

24 Feb '18

Ran into a weird issue today. I upgraded a bunch of packages, including the kernel to v4.15.4-1 (from 4.15.3-1). But for some reason the system was un-bootable. The boot process would get part-way through, then the booting screen would suddenly start showing its text on a green background (rather than black) and it would freeze. It took some jumping through hoops, but I was eventually able to boot to a chroot environment, upgrade to a newer kernel (v4.15.5-1) and suddenly the problem magically went away and my machine boots fine. Anyone have any idea what might have happened here? I'm assuming it was a bad kernel build, but I'd like to know for sure. I didn't see any recent bugs under the "linux" kernel package that matched what I was seeing. Thanks, DR

[arch-general] After 4.15.4, Arch dhcpd clients on LAN get new IP, but zone update fails (server - bind w/dynamic update)
by David C. Rankin 23 Feb '18

23 Feb '18

All, Not sure if this is kernel or dhcpcd related, but after update to 4.15.4 tonight ArchLinux clients on LAN receive new IP from server (which have not changed in 4-years before), and server DNS zones are not updated, but instead retain the old IP. The error is a general "Has an address record but no DHCID, not mine." (which may be a holdover from an earlier bind failure) Regardless, this has never before caused dhcp4 to issue a new address while retaining the old in the zone files for any Arch client in the 50 or so kernel updates before 4.15.4. (and this was consistent for each Arch box after the 4.15.4 kernel update) Take it for what it is, just be aware if you are admining a remote Arch box that gets its address via dhcp, you may end up with a new address while the old is still reported by nslookup. Just strange... No replay necessary, unless you have an idea of what changed between 4.15.3 and 4.15.4 that may cause this behavior. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] What files are tipically in /usr/local/share?
by Marcelo "Marc" Ranolfi 21 Feb '18

21 Feb '18

Hi, I've just accidentally deleted my '/usr/local/share' folder. This happened while I was creating custom copies of launchers from /usr/share/applications. Now, if I understand it correctly, the '/usr/local' directory should only contain files created by the user. In fact, I checked other subdirectories (bin, etc, games, include, lib, man, sbin, src) and they are all empty, except for a couple files I manually created in 'sbin' and 'lib'. But, as I was almost sure that the 'share' dir specifically was _not_ empty before I started messing with it, I just ran 'pacman -Qkq' and it reported '/usr/local/share/man' missing. This was promptly fixed by reinstalling the 'filesystem' package. But this has me wondering if there was something more important which resides there. Perhaps something generated by an application or script. None of my backups include that directory, so I'm afraid this makes me impossible to check for myself, other than installing/configuring everything from scratch. Can you guys clarify this for me? In case it's relevant, my desktop stack has Cinnamon, LightdDM, networkManager, Samba and other less important packages on top of a standard Arch Linux setup. Thank you, Marc

[arch-general] archlinux install bottleneck
by Jude DaShiell 19 Feb '18

19 Feb '18

After having run arch-chroot /mnt /usr/bin/bash one of the things I do is to run alsactl store. alsactl store returns error 125 /var/lib/alsa/asound.state no such file or directory. Certainly there's no such file since when alsa was run before arch-chroot got run on system boot /mnt/var/lib/alsa directory was empty having just run pacstrap on /mnt. So since this is supposed to work, could it be arch-chroot script fails to collect and pass along enough of the right environment information to its chrooted environment for alsactl store to run?

[arch-general] Disable vboxadd.service & vboxadd-service.service after guest additions included in 4.15?
by David C. Rankin 18 Feb '18

18 Feb '18

All, I use vitrualbox-bin (AUR) along with ext-oracle extension pack referenced in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox#Extension_pack. I have followed the addition of the guest-addition kernel modules to the 4.15 kernel, but I do not know how to handle that addition regarding what changes are needed in my arch guests. Specifically, since the guest additions are included in 4.15, but not in LTS, how do I disable the load the guest additions modules when booting the VM on 4.15, but not when booting LTS? Currently on boot with 4.15, errors are generated when vboxadd attempts to load the guest addition modules since, presumably, they are already in the kernel, e.g. 22:23 vl1:~> sc status vboxadd-service ● vboxadd-service.service Loaded: loaded (/opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-5.2.6/init/vboxadd-service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Fri 2018-02-09 22:16:33 CST; 7min ago Process: 1056 ExecStart=/opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-5.2.6/init/vboxadd-service start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Feb 09 22:16:33 vl1 systemd[1]: Starting vboxadd-service.service...

[arch-general] Why does Arch still use the GTK2 version of xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin?
by DEVIN GRANT 18 Feb '18

18 Feb '18

Hello, I apologize if this is not the appropriate place for starting such a discussion, but I felt I needed to voice my opinion. I think the GTK3 build of the Whisker Menu plugin is very stable and find it very odd that Arch still uses the antiquated GTK2 build of the plugin. The GTK3 build will add many noticeable improvements for end users, including better support for desktop themes. Replacing the old version will also make it easier to ditch an old toolkit like GTK2 from our systems.

[arch-general] Tips for a stable GNOME Shell?
by Giovanni Santini 15 Feb '18

15 Feb '18

Good evening, I am writing here since I do believe people here might have found solutions already to my problems. Sadly, I am the problem, as I love GNOME Shell (ops). Jokes aside, I love its interface and behaviour; although, it is really hard to use it on a real-context basis for me. What it happens is that if I execute RAM-consuming applications, GNOME Shell behaves really badly, swapping a lot with memory. The usual scenario is me trying to send some e-mails, while I have Visual Studio Code and Firefox for some coding; usually, this leads to huge slowdown, up to making the system unusable. This doesn't happen when using a GNOME-friendly i3 session, executing by far many more RAM-consuming applications (such as running Franz with multiple services, Telegram Desktop and others). I got some good boosts from the following actions: - Disabling almost all the Shell extensions, except for my 'essential' ones. - Using a X11 session instead of Wayland - Tweaking swap and VFS parameters (there is a web article referenced in the ArchWiki which is really good) So I have two questions: 1. Am I nuts? Did I do something really bad to my GNOME Shell without knowing that? How could I repair my setup? 2. If this is it (GNOME Shell is TOO heavy), is there any lightweight DE that offers something similar? I would need at least the search within apps and files for sure. Thanks in advance for replies and sorry for such a long message. -- Giovanni Santini My blog: http://giovannisantini.tk My code: https://git{hub,lab}.com/ItachiSan My GPG: 2FADEBF5

[arch-general] Virtualbox under KDE plasma
by Shridhar Daithankar 13 Feb '18

13 Feb '18

Hello, I recently tried KDE plasma after 5.12 update and it is running smooth. However I am experiencing two problems with virtualbox. 1. Virtualbox applications do not start unless QT_QPA_PLATFORM is set to xcb. Under plasma wayland session it is set to wayland. 2. When a VM is launched, if it is maximized with Host-F, it loses all keyboard/mouse interaction and has to be killed from the plasma session. Anybody has seen this? Should I report it upstream?

Re: [arch-general] Disable vboxadd.service & vboxadd-service.service after guest additions included in 4.15?
by Giacomo Longo 11 Feb '18

11 Feb '18

So you want to have vboxadd-service and vboxadd systemd services not starting on Linux kernel versions 4.15 and above? You can manage this by creating a template systemd unit /etc/systemd/system/kernel-version-less-then@.service ----------------------------------- [Unit] Description=Check if currently installed kernel version is less than target [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/usr/bin/sh -c '[[ "$(/usr/bin/vercmp %i %v)" = "1" ]]' Restart=no CollectMode=inactive-or-failed [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Then create the directories /etc/systemd/system/vboxadd.service.d/ /etc/systemd/system/vboxadd-service.service.d/ Then for each service /etc/systemd/system/vboxadd.service.d/kerver.conf ------------------------------------------------- [Unit] After=kernel-version-less-then(a)4.15.service Requires=kernel-version-less-then(a)4.15.service /etc/systemd/system/vboxadd-service.service.d/kerver.conf --------------------------------------------------------- [Unit] After=kernel-version-less-then(a)4.15.service Requires=kernel-version-less-then(a)4.15.service In this way, if my bash-fu is correct, the version compare will fail the kernel-version-less-then(a)4.15.service and vboxadd and vboxadd-service will not start Giacomo Longo

[arch-general] Can't connect to the Arch Linux website
by thepouar＠gmail.com 10 Feb '18

10 Feb '18

Had this problem for a few days, first noticed when I tried searching for a package. my ip address is 172.7.224.99. Is there something going on or is it something from my end? only 2 things I could think of but seemed unlikely was that my server was sending spam (which would be bad because it would mean someone broke in, but I didn't notice anything in the logs) or from checking out the ABS tree from the git server, but I've been doing a shallow clone for the initial checkout (git clone --depth=1) and a shallow fetch for updates (git fetch --depth=1, followed by a git reset --hard) to try to avoid stressing out the git server. Was that still too much? Other than those 2 possibilties, the only thing I can think of is that my ISP is somehow screwing up again. -- GPG Keys: https://keybase.io/pouar Tox ID: 2EA7A6D5494C10B2E0F32004A1E9CBD971777E551A902059E5EA7E73E5A299272F29D9FF5F6A Matrix ID: @Pouar:matrix.org Social Links: https://www.pouar.net/social.php

I can't download and validate torrents with this package any longer. Also unless I'm misunderstanding the man page, jobs once backgrounded are left stopped with lftp and not continued in the background. The final problem I've found so far which is a real confidence shaker is transfer percentage never goes above 0% and this is after at least an hour in operation. --

[arch-general] konsole 17.12.1-2 question
by Genes Lists 05 Feb '18

05 Feb '18

Not sure when this started but seems to be after the last update. Everything works normally and then at some point, somehow Ctrl-P + Enter becomes a shortcut for a new konsole tab. You can see this in settings->manage profiles (shortcuts). I have 2 profiles - my own plus the default. It is the active one that now has the new shortcut. OF course this means that instead of command history from bash the window appears to freeze when typing Ctrl-P and then pressing enter creates a new tab. I have to manage profiles and then delete the shortcut and close and restart konsole. I am completely unable to find any shortcut/keyboard to make typing Ctrl-P become a konosole shortcut rather than passed through to bash editing. There is no documented shortcut to 'manage profiles' that I can find and it only started happening recently. Any suggestions how I can prevent this from happening? Thanks, gene

I doubt I can held get ddcutil working, but the problem is a lack of an nvidia kernel module interface with /sys/class/backlight (which can be frustrating). You do not want to use xbacklight -- which ironically does not control actual backlight (display power), but instead controls pixel darkness (the amount of black/white per-pixel). Reducing backlight does not reduce display power, it just makes the pixels darker giving the impression of reduced brightness. (this is really bad for laptop battery life where reducing the display power is important) You want xrandr. Query with `xrandr -q` and find your interface and you can then set the desired brightness with something similar to xrandr --output LVDS-0 --brightness 42 (where LVDS-0 is your monitor connections shown by --query) Modern desktops generally integrate xrandr control (if not, you can simply implement a short script that allows you to check and set the desired brightness. There were also several AUR packages (nvidia-bl, and nvidiabl or similar) that provided a /sys/class/backlight kernel module that would would work with most laptops, but I don't think they are maintained any longer. (there was an example script on the X11 wiki some time ago for doing this) That is another option. I tried using xrandr to adjust brightness, but it doesn't modify brightness on monitor. Then I stumbled upon [1] to learn that backlight can't be actually controlled with xrandr on LCD/LED monitors: --brightness brightness Multiply the gamma values on the crtc currently attached to the output to specified floating value. Useful for overly bright or overly dim outputs. However, this is a software only modification, if your hardware has support to actually change the brightness, you will probably prefer to use xbacklight. And as described in the initial question, xbacklight doesn't work with my NVIDIA card despite all the kernel parameters. However, with ddcutil I was able to set contrast and brightness at monitor hardware level so that even at low brightness levels the screen remained perfectly legible. With xrandr, modifying the brightness distorts the colors of text. The text is readable but not white anymore. I'll see if there's some other solution. Regards.

[arch-general] Is linux extramodules dir named most appropriately?

11 Jan '18

The linux package creates 2 directories; for example: /usr/lib/modules/4.14.13-1-ARCH /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-4.14-ARCH Question - Why is the latter not named extramodules-4.14.13-1-ARCH? Both are owned by the linux-4.14.13 package - and extramodules-4.14-ARCH will also be owned by the next linux-4.14.14 package and so on. Perhaps it is something to do with 3rd party packages which install things in extramodules? thanks. gene

[arch-general] LXQT: Unable to find an X11 visual which matches EGL config
by Zorro 10 Jan '18

10 Jan '18

A question about Qt/LXQT. When starting LXQT with startlxqt LXQT crashes giving a core dump and showing in the systemd logs the message 'Unable to find an X11 visual which matches EGL config' The setup is connecting from a Windows 10 client to a system running Arch Linux using (x)rdp. On the Arch Linux system lxqt is started from ~/.xinitrc. But a (x)rdp session is not created because of the above error. Changing 'exec startlxqt' into 'exec xterm' in ~/.xinitrc does indeed create a xrdp session but of course with just a xterm window. Calling any Qt program in this terminal window leads to a core dump and that message 'Unable to find an X11 visual which matches EGL config' suggesting it's caused by Qt. Last weekend 6 Januari I did a pacman -Syu and Qt was updated to version 5.10.0. Does anybody have an idea what change in Qt may be causing this error ? Regards, Harm-Jan

[arch-general] AL gnustep-core implementation misses gnustep-back
by LoneVVolf 09 Jan '18

09 Jan '18

In the recent repo clean up operation gnustep-back was dropped to AUR. I have maintained the oolite package when it was still in AUR and remember plenty of problems with running oolite against faulty / incomplete gnustep-core implementations . The gnustep upstream website [1] lists gnustep-back as a required package for every gnustep install . The ANNOUNCE file in gnustep-back source code [2] states gnustep-gui & gnustep-back are 2 components of the display system used by gnustep . I feel that removing gnustep-back from gnustep-core group goes against arch linux policy of staying as close to upstream as possible.

The nvidia related packages installed on my PC are: ~$ pacman -Qs nvidia local/libvdpau 1.1.1+3+ga21bf7a-1 Nvidia VDPAU library local/nvidia 387.34-15 NVIDIA drivers for linux local/nvidia-utils 387.34-2 NVIDIA drivers utilities Upon rebooting after switching the cards, arch boots fine until "Reached target graphical interface" appears on the display. It seemed the PC was stuck, but switching to tty2 resulted in flashing keyboard lights. Which, according to a quick Google search, means kernel panic. Moreover, [1] says that "the files are read in ASCII order, and by convention their names start with XX- (two digits and a hyphen, so that for example 10 is read before 20).". But I have multiple files in "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d" starting with the same number 10: ~$ ls /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ 10-amdgpu.conf 10-quirks.conf 10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf 40-libinput.conf Please help me in getting my new card up and running. Regards. [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xorg#Using_.conf_files

[arch-general] Setting make options for aur-packages
by Jeanette C. 28 Dec '17

28 Dec '17

Hey hey, is there a simple, systematic option to set make options for building AUR packages, that are compiled on the local system? I know that I can edit the PKGBUILD file for each package, but I'd prefer something global. My goal is to build using multiple jobs (-j option for make). I searched options and environment variables for aurget and makepkg, without result. TIA and best wishes, Jeanette -------- * website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/jeanette_c Just hang around and you'll see, There's nowhere I'd rather be <3 (Britney Spears)

[arch-general] [archlinux] shepherd in Arch
by Javier 26 Dec '17

26 Dec '17

Hi, Looking into [1] and [2], I noticed it's possible to get openRC working from AUR in Arch, but more importantly, seems like it's also possible to get shepherd working on Arch from AUR [1][3]. However, as opposed to openRC, shepherd seems less documented. Both shepherd and openRC appear as integrated inits for Arch... Any documentation on migration to shepherd from AUR? Please notice my intention is not to start a discussion about inits. I know systemd is the "de facto" init for Arch. I just would like to try shepherd on Arch. If possible using besides eudev, also elogind, which seem also available from AUR. And all this from AUR... Thanks, -- Javier [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Init [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenRC [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/shepherd

[arch-general] netctl multiple dns servers
by David Rosenstrauch 24 Dec '17

24 Dec '17

I'm using netctl to initialize my server's network stack, using a tweak of the "ethernet-static" example profile. I'm specifying a list of DNS servers, but only one of them is winding up in the resolv.conf file. I'm wondering why/how to fix. In my netctl profile: DNS=('127.0.0.1' '208.67.222.222' '208.67.220.220') The resulting resolv.conf: # Generated by resolvconf nameserver 127.0.0.1 Any idea what the issue is? Does netctl not correctly handle an array of dns server names? Thanks, DR

[arch-general] How to build package in "clean chroot" using the "-U" parameter?
by Manuel Reimer 22 Dec '17

22 Dec '17

Hello, I want to autobuild a set of packages. For this process, it is not acceptable to use "sudo" as I don't want to enter some passwords and my autobuild program also has to do some other stuff with root privileges. The help page of "makechrootpkg" suggests, that there is an option for me: -U Run makepkg as a specified user But I tried this several times. So far without success. I've copied the PKGBUILD to the /tmp directory, just to be sure it is really readable by my build user. Then my command was: # makechrootpkg -c -U build -r /var/cache/PATH_TO_MY_CHROOT This now seems to download the source files and also is validating them against the stored MD5 sums. But after that I get the error ==> ERROR: Running makepkg as root is not allowed as it can cause permanent, catastrophic damage to your system. Seems like makepkg is called once in context of my supplied "build user" and then a second time without using the build user. Where is my mistabe? Or is this a bug in makechrootpkg? Thanks in advance Manuel
