Hey there. I was just browsing the bug tracker and I noticed some open bug reports: 7 reported in 0.7 Wombat 10 reported in 0.7.1 Noodle 58 reported in 0.7.2 Gimmick 18 reported in 0.8 Voodoo Anyways I have some questions about bugs and such: Are there any reasons that these bugs have not resolved yet? Is anyone in charge of getting bugs closed? If a bug has no response from the dev and I've emailed them directly with still no response who can I appeal to? I'd love to help but obviously patches can't apply, update the bug tracker, and upload new packages by themselves. Please let me know if I can do anything to help get things done. Thanks & Cheers.

[arch-general] Multiple sound cards
by Stephen Wilkinson 17 May '08

17 May '08

Hello All, I use two sound cards in my computer: * the on-board card (VIA 8237 chipset) * a SBLive! PCI card Until Kernel 2.6.23-ARCH I was able to use either card, in KMix and Skype for instance. But from Kernel 2.6.24-ARCH, only one card appears in KMix and Skype. Back when the two cards worked, I loaded the modules in rc.conf with: MODULES=(snd_emu10k1 snd_via82xx) to ensure that SBLive! (which uses snd_emu10k1) would be the default card, while the on-board card could be used for Skype. Now, even when snd_via82xx is first, only the SBLive! card is detected. I checked what cards were being detected with lspci: * with Kernel 2.6.23-ARCH I get: 00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 08) 00:06.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Live! Game Port (rev 08) and 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60) * but with Kernel 2.6.24-ARCH I get: 00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 08) 00:06.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Live! Game Port (rev 08) (The full output of lspci is at the bottom of the e-mail) I checked that snd_via82xx module is loaded with lsmod. But in Kernel 2.6.24-ARCH there is only one dsp in /dev. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this may have stopped working in moving from 2.6.23 to 2.6.24? Is it no longer possible to run two sound cards together? I have put the full output of: lspci ls /dev/dsp* ls /proc/asound at the bottom of this e-mail for information. Thanks, Steve To try and understand what's changed, I compared the output of lspci, ls /dev/dsp* and ls /proc/asound when running each kernel. The results are below: * I rolled back to 2.6.23-ARCH, rebooted and checked the following: - ls /dev/dsp* outputs: dsp and dsp1 (symlinks to /dev/sound/dsp and dsp1) - ls /proc/asound outputs: VIA 8237 (symlinked to card1) and Live (symlinked to card0) - lspci outputs: 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.

But I wonder how it is compiled on DragonFly because they use gcc4.1? It doesn't greatly matter. I will ask when I am sending patches upstream. Kind regards, Michael Krauss

[arch-general] problem with gcc and __unused function attribute
by Michael Krauss 17 May '08

17 May '08

Hello, dma is now running on Arch Linux but I found one odd thing: There is this function in net.c: static void sig_alarm(int signo __unused) { longjmp(timeout_alarm, 1); } ggc can't handle the __unused attribute: [mickraus@gandalf dma]\$ LANG=us gcc -DHAVE_CRYPTO -o dma dma.c conf.c crypto.c lex.yy.c y.tab.c net.c base64.c -lssl net.c:68: error: expected ';', ',' or ')' before '__unused' net.c: In function 'read_remote': net.c:105: error: 'sig_alarm' undeclared (first use in this function) net.c:105: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once net.c:105: error: for each function it appears in.) After removing the attribute everything works. But in the gcc manual exactly this attribute is listed: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.3.0/gcc/Function-Attributes.html The original net.c file can be found here: http://opengrok.creo.hu/dragonfly/xref/src/libexec/dma/net.c To compile it on linux you have to include two additional headers: #ifdef __linux #include <stdarg.h> #include <err.h> #endif /* __linux */ Is there a compiler switch that I have overlooked? Kind Regards Michael Krauss

[arch-general] Suggesting new PKGBUILD*.proto
by Geoffroy Carrier 17 May '08

17 May '08

Hi! I made "cosmetic" changes on PKGBUILD*.proto Please see https://github.com/gcarrier/gkarch/tree/master/misc/usr_share_pacman For you information, and to ease discussion around it, here's the README: Changes I made affect both "pacman" and "abs" packages. Assumptions: - $startdir should be used as $srcdir and $pkgdir parent, as it could be useful, for example, to have $pkgdir in a tmpfs => Removed any reference to "$startdir/pkg" or "$startdir/src" => Relative paths to switch between $srcdir and $pkgdir should be avoided. E.g.: cd $srcdir/A patch [...] < ../../pkg/ is non-sense - $pkgdir and $srcdir could contain namespaces, etc. and we shouldn't try to guess about $IFS => "$srcdir/A" instead of $srcdir/A (use of "") - Still, lightweight means smater => Don't use "$_svntrunk" ${something} instead of $_svntrunk $something - "folder" is prefered to "folder/" in our scripts, but we should not suppose a makefile doesn't use something like "${DESTDIR}usr/bin" => DESTDIR="$pkgdir/", "$pkgdir" otherwise Best regards, -- Geoffroy Carrier

It seems to me like that should be an explicit dependency for cups; is there a scenario where you could print from cups without ghostscript? I also think its interesting that cups didn't say anything about "gs" failing to run except in the "debug" log level, and the failure certainly wasn't considered fatal, even though it really was. -- Ryan W Sims

Hi, I'm trying to install a sn9c201 webcam, but I can't find any drivers. On the wiki, the sn9c102 driver is listed, but not the 201. dmesg only listed the following: usb 5-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 42 usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice The device only came with (Linux) drivers for Fedora Core 4.

[arch-general] Postgres failure after system upgrade
by richard terry 15 May '08

15 May '08

Yesterday upgraded my system which happened to include I think from memory as well as postgres 8.3 , php. Not a technical person unfortunately, but my postgres has died with the message below. I wonder if some kind soul could give me some help in tracking down the problem. I've tried looking at the below mentioned files and can't see anything wrong . Perhaps something got overwritten? An help appreciated. Richard The server doesn't accept connections: the connection library reports could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? If you encounter this message, please check if the server you're trying to contact is actually running PostgreSQL on the given port. Test if you have network connectivity from your client to the server host using ping or equivalent tools. Is your network / VPN / SSH tunnel / firewall configured correctly? For security reasons, PostgreSQL does not listen on all available IP addresses on the server machine initially. In order to access the server over the network, you need to enable listening on the address first. For PostgreSQL servers starting with version 8.0, this is controlled using the "listen_addresses" parameter in the postgresql.conf file. Here, you can enter a list of IP addresses the server should listen on, or simply use '*' to listen on all available IP addresses. For earlier servers (Version 7.3 or 7.4), you'll need to set the "tcpip_socket" parameter to 'true'. You can use the postgresql.conf editor that is built into pgAdmin III to edit the postgresql.conf configuration file. After changing this file, you need to restart the server process to make the setting effective. If you double-checked your configuration but still get this error message, it's still unlikely that you encounter a fatal PostgreSQL misbehaviour. You probably have some low level network connectivity problems (e.g. firewall configuration). Please check this thoroughly before reporting a bug to the PostgreSQL community.

[arch-general] digikam beta4 and gcc 4.3.0
by waldek 14 May '08

14 May '08

Hi, first of all I'm out of my depth here so be gentle, I was trying to compile digicam beta4 and the compilation process hangs. I found this thread that describes it: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.digikam.user/7917 the answer in digikam forum was: "I have reported this problem to CImg author (David Tschumperlé). After investiguations, he said than all come from an uncompatibilty with gcc 4.3.0 and CImg code. Note than using Gcc 4.2.3 digiKam compile fine." so I asked on CImg forums: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=2036591&forum_id=423277 and the reply was: "Anyway, this is not a bug related to CImg or GREYCstoration, since it compiles fine if you don't set the optimizations with g++ 4.3.0. Also it compiles fine with older versions of g++ (4.2.3 for instance). I suspect some bugs in the compiler optimization procedure which causes the process to hang. I admit this is very annoying, but I can't do anything to solve it, since it is clearly a problem related to the compiler." could somebody take a look at it? What do you think? Cheers waldek

Hi, i wanted to note that there is http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Desktop_Project maintained by bardo a TU, which mentions absolutely nothing about upstream. Instead it says "I (bardo) will write/modify the necessary files and notify the corresponding maintainers so they can be added to the packages." Additionally there are links to the bug tracker. I have no idea if bardo submitts them upstream as well but i doubt it. Greg

[arch-general] Compiling my own kernel: IDE, SATA...
by Carotinho 10 May '08

10 May '08

Hi! I'm sure this is an already answered question, but the problem is that I don't know which could be the question whose answer I'm in need of:) After this prologue, the problem is: The currently running system, with the Arch-supplied 2.6.24 kernel, has the disk devices all mapped to a /dev/sd* scheme, even if 3 are IDE and another is SATA. When I compile myself the kernel, I get the "traditional" /dev/hd* scheme, which is in contrast with the content of /etc/fstab. The main question is: how can I obtain the "right" behaviour from my own compiled kernel? Is this due to some misconfiguration of the kernel at compile-time, or is it obtained through some other kind of magic? The real problem here is that I cannot give a name to this problem, hence being unable to search for it!:) I've always used a Slack system with traditional disk mapping, it's the first time I come across this problem:) Thanks in advance!

[arch-general] pacman changes libcrypt.so.1 symlink
by Lukáš Jirkovský 08 May '08

08 May '08

Hi I don't know if it's bug or feature, but it makes me crazy. It begun probably after some pacman upgrade. I'm using blowfish passwords with my archlinux, so my /lib/libcrypt.so.1 points to libxcrypt.so.1 instead of libcrypt-2.7.so from glibc. In my pacman.conf I have NoExtract = lib/libcrypt.so.1. But even though I've made this arrangements everytime when I run pacman -S some_interesting_package (it doesn't have to be glibc, eg libpng is enough) the link gets changed. Any suggestions? Best regards, Lukas '6xx' Jirkovsky

[arch-general] rdup: orphan request

Hello, I would like to ask for rdup in AUR to be orphaned, so that I can maintain it: 1) it's out-of-date (version 0.5.2, current 0.5.7; considerable (for me) improvements) 2) the maintainer (dice) has the last appearance in AUR on 1/14/2008 3) he does not respond to comments in AUR and his e-mail address does not work (tried couple of days ago, mail returned as undeliverable). 4) there's a perl dep of this package that needs to be taken care of. Thank you, -- Jan

[arch-general] AUR Cleanup
by Allan McRae 05 May '08

05 May '08

The AUR has a large number of obsolete packages which could use cleaning up. Examples of packages that may be cleaned up are: - packages that have been renamed or replaced - old and unmaintained developmental (cvs/svn/etc) packages This is where you can help. Post suggestions of packages in the AUR Cleanup wiki page (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_CleanUp_Day) TUs will get together and go though the list in a couple of weeks and confirm which packages should be removed. Please do not remove suggestions from the wiki page but add a comment on why it should be kept instead. TUs will take great care not to delete any useful package. Cheers, Allan -- Allan McRae Arch Linux Trusted User
