[arch-general] Weird acpid issue
by Leonid Grinberg 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

Hello, My laptop has ACPI running to detect, among other things, the lid state, so that it can shut off the screen if it is closed. However, every once in a while, the functionality simply doesn't work -- I close the lid and the computer doesn't respond. Running /etc/rc.d/acpid restart makes it work again, only to fail again in a few days. I am running ACPI 1.2 on 2.6.28. Any ideas? -- Thanks, Leonid Grinberg lgrinberg(a)gmail.com

Something that I was unclear, because the documentation does not talk about the devices names /dev/sr0 (SCSI CDROM) Seems that for use this sintax official sintax (n,n,n) the sg (SCSI generic) module needs to be loaded, unlike the use of _bad_ sintax /dev/sr0 not need the sg module is loaded cdrecord -scanbus (without sg module don't work) I am interested not load the module sg, sg as the module not only enables access to the cd-roms, but also hard drives ##For example without "sg" (only "sr_mod") # cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord-ProDVD-ProBD-Clone 2.01.01a57 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2009 Jörg Schilling ... ##Using the cdrecord -scanbus -dev=ATAPI work # cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI Cdrecord-ProDVD-ProBD-Clone 2.01.01a57 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2009 Jörg Schilling ... scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'HL-DT-ST' 'DVDRAM GH20NS15 ' 'IL00' Removable CD-ROM scsibus1: 1,0,0 100) 'HL-DT-ST' 'DVD-ROM GDR8163B' '0L23' Removable CD-ROM # cdrecord dev=/dev/sr0 -checkdrive #*Works* (remember only sr_mod is loaded) ##Now with sg module loaded... # cdrecord -scanbus | grep "0,0" Linux sg driver version: 3.5.34 0,0,0 0) 'ATA ' 'WDC WD6400AAKS-6' '01.0' Disk 1,0,0 100) 'ATA ' 'WDC WD6400AAKS-0' '01.0' Disk 2,0,0 200) 'ATA ' 'WDC WD5000AAKS-0' '12.0' Disk 3,0,0 300) 'ATA ' 'WDC WD5000AAKS-0' '12.0' Disk 4,0,0 400) 'HL-DT-ST' 'DVDRAM GH20NS15 ' 'IL00' Removable CD-ROM 6,0,0 600) 'HL-DT-ST' 'DVD-ROM GDR8163B' '0L23' Removable CD-ROM and this is what we do not want to, I see the hard drives here, so I avoid using the module sg.

This syntax requires to work properly generic scsi module and via /dev/sr0 don't need it?. I did not compile this (sg) on my system. But for example if execute: $ cdrecord dev=ATAPI -scanbus Cdrecord-ProDVD-ProBD-Clone 2.01.01a57 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2009 Jörg Schilling scsidev: 'ATAPI' devname: 'ATAPI' scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2 Warning: dev=ATA: is preferred over dev=ATAPI:.

That's why I prefer to use it that way and avoid problems, and I prefer not to load the module sg, because it loads the SATA hard drives as generic devices, adding this to the already loaded scsi disks sd) Apparently, I have to load the module sg ATA mode to work.

[arch-general] ndiswrapper problem
by Avramucz Péter 17 Feb '09

17 Feb '09

Hi! I have a Broadcom 4312 (rev 01). It seems to be, the best method is ndiswrapper using it. However, when I use it, wpa_supplicant can associate with the ap, but dhclient/dhcpcd can't get a dhcpoffer. Using the wl driver, there is no problem. Here is the interesting thing: using sysrescueccd (2.6.27 kernel, 1.53 ndiswrapper ebuild: http://gentoo-portage.com/AJAX/Ebuild/49806/View) I can simply get a dhcpoffer, so there is something with the ndiswrapper of Arch Linux. Any ideas?

[arch-general] Problems with Bluetooth packages
by Ricardo Hernandez 17 Feb '09

17 Feb '09

Greetings, i write about this right here because i can't file a bug report for an outdated package. Bluetooth in Arch is in a developing process and for that some apps are broken. For example, obexftp 0.22 can't be builded and don't seem to work with bluez 4.x. I build 0.23-alpha and compiled perfectly. Maybe i put it in AUR but i think is worth a dicussion for inclusion in Arch if is decided to use bluez 4.x and don't use bluez 3.x at all. Also, bluez 4.29 have some real big bug, it simply can't pair almost any device (not mine at least). That's reflected in the bluez page and there's a new version 4.30 that address this issues. One more time i know i can build my own packages but as i said it needs to be updated. I said all this because i think that for now is better to support bluez 3.x and 4.x. For example in gentoo, bluez 4.x is hard-masked, it has very little documentation, and the api and configs files change a lot, so for now adding support for bluez 3.x i think is not a bad idea. BTW, bluez 4.x don't include a passkey-agent (at least not with that name), i suggest to include in the pkgbuild to install test/simple-agent, like is mentioned here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12851?string=passkey

[arch-general] mpd 0.14 requires curl, glib && glib seems to be outdated
by Vincent Van Houtte 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Dear ML, mpd has been flagged out-of-date, so I'm encouraged to post my problem here instead of on the bugtracker. Installing mpd on a bare system does not resolve all dependencies, since I had to install: - curl (libcurl-*.so missing) - glib (libgthread-*.2.0.0.so missing) Next problem: glib installs both libgthread-*.1.2.0.so and libgthread.so, but mpd required v2.0.0 specificly. So: mpd needs to be rebuilt requiring another version of libgthread or glib needs to be updated (IMVHO). Possibly mpd has other dependencies - I will report them later. Vincent

[arch-general] [PATCHES] About /var/run/ and /var/lock/ checks in daemons

Hi people! I interested to make Arch Linux suitable for use with a /var/run and /var/lock that are mounted as tmpfs. But this also helps, in the case that not mounted as tmpfs, to make more simple "purge function" for these directories at rc.sysinit step. In my case this is "just for fun!", but other users can be benefited by this, for example "netbook users". OK, i initially created rc-script patches for the packages in the extra repo that use /var/run/program-name-directory and fails if not exists.
