[arch-general] Intel Wireless AC 3165 not working on install media
by Tomás Acauan Schertel 14 Jul '19

14 Jul '19

Hi guys. I'm trying to install Arch on my new notebook, but I can't make my WiFi adapter to work. I'm following Install Guide\Wireless Network Configuration\WPA_supplicant to connect, but it's not working.. Looks like I can't set WiFi adapter UP. Does someone have this WiFi adapter working during installation? Thanks for your help. *Beste Grüße* *Tomás Schertel*

[arch-general] 5.2 kernel, Virtualbox console takes on video-mode size -- nice.
by David C. Rankin 12 Jul '19

12 Jul '19

All, With the 5.2 kernel, virtualbox no longer boots to the GRUB_GFXMODE, but instead boots to the video-mode-hint given to virtualbox. That is a welcomed change. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Unmaintained project with active community fork - what to do with the package?
by Danila Kiver 01 Jul '19

01 Jul '19

Hi all, please help me in handling the following situation. The bash-bats package ( https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/bash-bats ) uses the upstream repository ( https://github.com/sstephenson/bats ), which is no longer maintained by its owner ( https://github.com/sstephenson/bats/issues/150 ). Looks like the project moved to a community-maintained fork ( https://github.com/bats-core/bats-core ), which already reached version 1.1.0 and includes crucial fixes, while the original project stays untouched for a long while. What would be the correct approach here: ask the maintainer of bash-bats package to switch to the active fork, or leave this deprecated package as it is and create an AUR package for the fork? Regards, Danila Kiver.

[arch-general] PCYNLITX project and its innovations ( for multi-threading )
by Erkam Murat Bozkurt 30 Jun '19

30 Jun '19

PCYNLITX platform offers completely new programming technology which can be named as Programmable Meta-Programming System and PCYNLITX platform is just a particular application of this new programming methodology. Basically, PCYNLITX is an intelligent integrated development environment ( IDE ) which can produce an application-specific multi-threading library based on your needs and assists you in multi-thread software development process. PCYNLITX is not a multi-threading library. Instead, it is a multi-threading library generator. You can find out very comprehensive documentation about pcynlitx project from both project web site and source code repository. The addresses of the project web page and source code repository are given in below links. www.pcynlitx.tech https://sourceforge.net/projects/pcynlitx The outcome of the PCYNLITX platform acts as an autonomous thread management system provides deterministic scheduling of the threads. You can control the thread with the numbers given by you and determine the relation of the threads. In other words, different from the other multi-threading tools, you can directly schedule the threads independently from the operating system. The scientific journal of the project is under review on IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering. Currently, the PCYNLITX platform only works on Linux based operating systems and the other versions ( Windows and McOSx ) are under development. The License of the PCYNLITX platform is GNU GPLv3 Free Software License. You can find out many other documents including scientific introduction of the project (“Technical Introduction” ), code examples and GUI tutorial form the project web sites. You can also find out a documents introducing std::thread programming, pthread programming and OpenMP programming on the web sites. Currently, ubuntu, debian and fedora distros are supported and arch linux version of the pcynlitx will be available soon. I am always waiting your valuable comments and contributions. Thanks and best regards. Erkam Murat Bozkurt M.Sc in Control Systems

[arch-general] maria update to 10.4.6 breaks akonadi's db
by Oliver Jaksch 30 Jun '19

30 Jun '19

Updated three of my KDE clients by terminal (not logged in by display manager/DM) and ran # systemctl restart mariadb.service && mariadb-upgrade -u root -p as stated by pacman and arch-acnnounce. All went fine so far. No client starts or uses a mariadb service. But after logging in at DM and starting Kontact the drama begins: New Mails are shown but no one can be read and journal is showing lots of Jun 28 05:49:17 zotac3 akonadiserver[5774]: org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: DATABASE ERROR: Jun 28 05:49:17 zotac3 akonadiserver[5774]: org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Error code: "1452" Jun 28 05:49:17 zotac3 akonadiserver[5774]: org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: DB error: "Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails (`akonadi`.`parttable`, CONSTRAINT `parttable_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`pimItemId`) REFERENCES `pimitemtable` (`id`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE)" Jun 28 05:49:17 zotac3 akonadiserver[5774]: org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Error text: "Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails (`akonadi`.`parttable`, CONSTRAINT `parttable_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`pimItemId`) REFERENCES `pimitemtable` (`id`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE) QMYSQL3: Unable to execute statement" Jun 28 05:49:17 zotac3 akonadiserver[5774]: org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Values: QMap((":0", QVariant(qlonglong, 345491))(":1", QVariant(qlonglong, 9))(":2", QVariant(QByteArray, "Return-Path: <receiver(a)bla.com>\r\nDelivered-To: copyrec(a)bla.com\r\nReceived: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1])\r\n\tby mail.sender.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6E9EF624B8;\r\n\tFri, 28 Jun 2019 05:49:16 +0200 (CEST)\r\nDKIM-Filter: OpenDKIM Filter v2.11.0 mail.sender.com 6E9EF624B8\r\nDKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=sender.com;\r\n\ts=mail; [...] Jun 28 05:49:17 zotac3 akonadiserver[5774]: org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Query: "INSERT INTO PartTable (pimItemId, partTypeId, data, datasize, version) VALUES (:0, :1, :2, :3, :4)" Jun 28 05:49:17 zotac3 akonadiserver[5774]: org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Error during insertion into table "PartTable" "Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails (`akonadi`.`parttable`, CONSTRAINT `parttable_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`pimItemId`) REFERENCES `pimitemtable` (`id`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE) QMYSQL3: Unable to execute statement" Jun 28 05:49:17 zotac3 akonadiserver[5774]: org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Error while handling command CreateItem on connection akonadi_imap_resource_10 (0x55f027a24a20) Jun 28 05:49:17 zotac3 akonadi_imap_resource[1543]: org.kde.pim.akonadicore: Creating/updating items from the akonadi database failed: "Failed to insert new part into database."

[arch-general] Mariadb Tables Still Compatible with Backup Server Running Earlier Version?
by David C. Rankin 28 Jun '19

28 Jun '19

This is more a general question following the mariadb feature update to 10.4.6-1. Do the tables remain compatible with servers running earlier versions of mariadb? What happens if a backup from an earlier version has to be rolled into the new version? Or more importantly, can a backup from the new version be used to update servers running earlier versions of mariadb? (I have the same database running on Arch with backup handled by openSuSE, still running 10.0.35) https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MariaDB doesn't mention anything special. Nor does https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/changes-improvements-in-mariadb-104/ Any help or comment would be appreciated. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

by riveravaldez 27 Jun '19

27 Jun '19

Hi, not sure if this is the right place to ask this, let me know if it's not. Maybe this is normal, but couldn't clarify it by reading the Arch Wiki [1]: [user@arch ~]$ whoami user [user@arch ~]$ groups sys lp wheel ftp uucp log rfkill http games audio users user [user@arch ~]$ groups user sys lp wheel ftp uucp log rfkill http games audio users realtime user Why different outputs? Is it normal and with no issues? Should I do something? Thanks a lot! [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Users_and_groups#Group_management

[arch-general] HDMI Output died over night
by Florian Wehner 26 Jun '19

26 Jun '19

Hi! I wasn’t able to get my HDMI output running on my Lenovo X1 Carbon 6th gen today. I run gnome on Wayland. It has been working fine for the last few days but completely dead today. Symptom: The external display detects that an HDMI cable is connected (via ground?) but there is no signal. Here’s what I tried: Switch from wayland to Xorg Swapping cables / monitors Rebooting (with and without hdmi cable or power) Setting the boot display to HDMI (no influence) Looking at xrandr => Not connected Any ideas? Thanks, Flo
