by Manuel Reimer 21 Sep '19

21 Sep '19

Hello, I've updated Gnome just now. 3.34 should have the new "app folders" feature by just dragging application icons onto each other. This doesn't work for me. Is there some build error on Arch? Why is this feature missing? Thanks in advance Manuel

[arch-general] Recent logwatch update may need a news item?
by Amish 20 Sep '19

20 Sep '19

Hello, Recently logwatch package was updated. The cron file (from cron.daily) was removed and replaced with systemd.timer. But logwatch.timer is not activated automatically, which means the users who use logwatch will stop getting daily "auditing" emails and may not realize this for some days that emails from logwatch have stopped coming. This requires manual intervention to activate logwatch.timer. Since keeping an eye on logs is very important thing to do, this should be put as NEWS item. (in my opinion). Additionally, current logwatch.service calls "/usr/sbin/logwatch" alone. Which means by default it sends output to systemd journal. (whereas cron based timer used to send an email to root which could be an alias to real email address) To preserve the existing behaviour, the ExecStart line should be changed to ExecStart=/usr/bin/logwatch --output mail" Even if this is not made a news item, this email is also sent to alert those users who use logwatch that they need to take following actions: 1) pacman -Syu 2) cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/logwatch.service.d/local.conf [Service] ExecStart= ExecStart=/usr/bin/logwatch --output mail 3) systemctl daemon-reload 4) systemctl --now enable logwatch.timer Regards, Amish.

For some GPU stress-tests you may use furmark, it's provided by `gputest` in AUR. чт, 19 вер. 2019, 19:23 користувач L.

[arch-general] Time and date in 24 hour time can this be fixed?
by matthew dyer 16 Sep '19

16 Sep '19

Hi all, I am using arch linux with orca and mate desktop and have a strange problem or bug or something and was wondering if there was a way to fix it or work around it. I am using the America/New_York time zone so my time shows correctly at least according to orca. Orca gives me the time in 12 Hour format which is what I want, but when I look at an email such as in thunderbird, the time and date are given 24 hour format for example, 2019/14/09 11:00 rather than the u.s format I am used to. I read through the arch wiki and could not find anything on how to change the time format on the clock. Any ideas on how to change this? HW clock is set to UTC if that has anything to do with it. I tried to set it to locale time, but that messed up the system clock so had to switch it back. Thanks all. BTW, if this is sooted better for the orca list please let me know/. Thanks again all. Matthew

[arch-general] NFS server question
by Genes Lists 13 Sep '19

13 Sep '19

All: For client tracking and recovery on reboots NFS provides some mechanisms. My understanding is that nfsdcld is considered replaced by nfsdcltrack. However, while there is a system service unit for nfsdcld there is nothing for nfsdcltrack. The binary for both is available. Only the systemd service file is missing. Further nfs-server service file hardcodes nfsdcld with no option to use nfsdcltrack instead. What is the modern preferred way for the server to do client tracking? Thanks, gene
