[arch-general] Xorg Weirdness
by Storm Dragon 26 Apr '19

26 Apr '19

Howdy, I have just set up a new computer. I have X set up and am running ratpoison because I like it and to save on resources. This setup mirrors my other computer. Unfortunately, on this computer, if I have X started, whatever I type in my console affects the X session. So, as I type this message in the console using mutt, it is also appearing in a leafpad window in X. Also, when I press keys like alt+left arrow to go back in firefox, or alt+f2 which I have bound to a run dialog, it switches to the console. When I switch back to X, in the case of the alt+F2 shortcut, the run dialog is opened. I have searched the net vigorously, and although I can find people who have the same problems, I haven't found a solution. does anyone have a suggestion for what may be happening here, and hopefully how to fix it? Thanks, Storm --

[arch-general] dbeaver and mariadb-jdbc: Creating the symlink.
by Ralph Corderoy 22 Apr '19

22 Apr '19

Hi, I've installed dbeaver 6.0.1-1, plus mariadb-jdbc 2.4.1-1 from AUR. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/JDBC_and_MySQL#Installing_JDBC says to then symlink mariadb-java-client.jar so it's picked up as part of the JVM's JRE, but /usr/lib/jvm/default-runtime/jre/lib/ext doesn't exist. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=241666 looks like a similar problem and although it's marked solved, it isn't really as the AUR package was ditched in favour of Maven. What's the right Java solution to combine these two things? I don't mind running dbeaver with an environment variable or two so the JVM spots /usr/share/java/mariadb-jdbc/mariadb-java-client.jar. -- Cheers, Ralph.

[arch-general] Sound card marked as unavailable in pulseaudio
by Andy Pieters 16 Apr '19

16 Apr '19

Hi Does anyone know why my sound card may be listed as unavailable? I got a built-in Intel sound device which is seen by pulseaudio. In the volume control settings (pavucontrol-qt) I can select the configuration Analog Stereo Duplex (unplugged) (unavailable) I don't know why it shows as unplugged and unavailable. This is not a new situation but I remember a few years ago I could use this internal sound card just fine. Thanks Andy

[arch-general] Issue building Electron 1.8
by Giovanni Santini 16 Apr '19

16 Apr '19

Hi everyone, I am trying to build Electron 1.8.X for an AUR package which requires it. In order to build it, I checked out the `electron` package, switched to the commit of the latest 1.8 and built the package. Everything goes quite well, except for the final linking step, which gives an error as in here: https://pastebin.com/WScSCUP5 I am not really sure why this happens and would like to have some help understanding what is wrong; as soon as I/we can narrow down the issue, I can work on it and/or report it to the Electron devs. :) Thanks in advance, Giovanni Santini

[arch-general] aws-sdk-cpp-git: cmake issues compiling proograms for it
by Jeanette C. 13 Apr '19

13 Apr '19

Hey hey, I have already posted a comment on AUR for the package in question, and so apparently had someone else in October of last year. Is, by any chance, someone using this API/SDK? Is there maybe a simple fix/workaround for the CMake issue? The issue is that, with the simplest setup and code - CMakeLists.txt taken from amazon's examples on GitHub, the following error is returned: *** cmake output *** ... CMake Error at /lib64/cmake/AWSSDK/AWSSDKConfig.cmake:122 (message): AWS SDK for C++ headers found, but we were unable to locate the binaries. Have you deleted or moved it? Please make sure header files and binaries are located in INSTALL_ROOT_DIR/INCLUDE_DIR/ and INSTALL_ROOT_DIR/LIB_DIR/[PLATFORM_PREFIX]/[Debug|Config|OtherConfigs] ... *** End of cmake output *** This suggests that files are looked for in something like: /usr/lib/x86_64/library.a whereas files are installed as: /usr/lib/library.a Since this looks rather sensible annd the package has been around for a while, I think that I might be the bug here. :) So if someone can help, I'd appreciate it very much.

[arch-general] Problems compiling big projects from AUR
by Jeanette C. 13 Apr '19

13 Apr '19

Hey hey, even after my recent hardware upgrade I still notice issues compiling big AUR packages from github, like aws-sdk-cpp-git or mysql. This does not happen when cloning the git repository without AUR and compile using the package's build system. I notice that the AUR compile seems to go quicker. I know that I had the make option -j 4 turned on a while ago, but switched it off again. The thing that happens is for the AUR build process to swap massive amounts of data, grinding the system almost to a halt and finally failing without much of a reason. Nothing typically source code or linkage related. My system has 4GB of RAM and 4GB of swap, with a swapiness of 10. Any ideas?

[arch-general] boot from install medium - mounting additional partition refused

Hi archers, today i was booting from the install medium dd'ed on an usb drive. As there is space left on the medium I created one more partition to load or save stuff from the system booted. Surprisingly I cannot boot: root@archiso ~ # mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt mount: /mnt: /dev/sdb3 already mounted or mount point busy. I could not find an obvious reason for that: /dev/sdb is the usb device. root@archiso ~ # lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT loop0 7:0 0 489.4M 1 loop /run/archiso/sfs/airootfs sda 8:0 0 186.3G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 1G 0 part └─sda2 8:2 0 10G 0 part sdb 8:16 1 1.9G 0 disk /run/archiso/bootmnt ├─sdb1 8:17 1 1.1G 0 part ├─sdb2 8:18 1 64M 0 part └─sdb3 8:19 1 792M 0 part root@archiso ~ # findmnt /dev/sdb3 1 root@archiso ~ # root@archiso ~ # findmnt /mnt 1 root@archiso ~ # Does anybody know how to nail down this one? -- Friedrich

[arch-general] steam-native can't find libpcre.so.3, breaks embedded browser
by Alexandre Oliveira 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

It seems like the steam-native package is broken as of March 21, according to this bug report[1]. Installing libselinux and pcre seems to fix the issue. I don't know if it's a good idea to write about it here, but I'd like to get this patch mainstreamed, instead of having to install another package to workaround this bug.

[arch-general] PAM complains about "expired account"

Hi, I set up two-key authentication for SSH on my desktop through pam_oauth.so It used to work perfectly when connecting from my laptop, until recently it suddenly stopped. The logs indiacte the following error: |mars 21 14:11:22 arch sshd[26209]: error: PAM: User account has expired for username from 192.168.0.254| Wherearch is the hostname, and username is my username. My account is not expired, here is the output of chage -l: |Last password change : mars 21, 2019 Password expires : never Password inactive : never Account expires : never Minimum number of days between password change : 0 Maximum number of days between password change : 99999 Number of days of warning before password expires : 7 | |I have no idea what this could be, is there a PAM-internal expiration concept? Reddit could not offer any help... Thanks in advance for any help! | || ||
