[arch-general] [Xfce] Notification area tooltips gone
by Murari 29 Jan '19

29 Jan '19

Hi all, For some months now, the icons in my notification area haven't been showing me tooltips. I don't quite know when this started, but I do remember that this was working before. I get tooltips for all my launchers in the panel, but neither the Power Manager system tray icon nor the NetworkManager applet show any tooltips on mouseover. FWIW, ~/.gtkrc-2.0 has 'gtk-enable-tooltips=1'. Is there a setting somewhere that has changed, or is this a bug I should file with XFCE? Best, Murari

[arch-general] Request to remove an invalid header from the python-pillow package
by Antony Lee 27 Jan '19

27 Jan '19

Hi all, I have reported in https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/57492 (nearly a year ago) that python-pillow installs an invalid header in /usr/include/python3.7m/raqm.h, which 1) upstream clearly did not intend to be packaged, and 2) prevents the building of Python extensions modules that actually want to use libraqm (because /usr/include/python3.7m/raqm.h shadows /usr/include/raqm.h). Unfortunately, the report has seen no activity since last April, even though I proposed a (simple) fix for it (add `rm "$pkgdir/usr/include/python$_py3basever/raqm.h"` to package_python-pillow()). Is there anything I can do to get it fixed? Thanks, Antony

[arch-general] How to grant Apache httpd permission to serve files from my home directory?
by Peter Nabbefeld 25 Jan '19

25 Jan '19

Hello, how can I grant Apache httpd permissions to present files out of my home directory? Especially, I don't want to only serve files from my home folder, and I don't want to give it full root access. To be more specific, I want to serve a small tutorial project in Python via uWSGI. I guess, first httpd needs the rights to delegate, then uWSGI needs rights to access the scripts. Both are currently running as http:http. This is not being thought as a permanent solution, just only for "quick & dirty" deployment, as always thinking about copying etc. during learning phase is rather inconvenient. Kind regards Peter

[arch-general] [OT] Problems with uwsgi/Python and httpd
by Peter Nabbefeld 24 Jan '19

24 Jan '19

Hello, I've tried to get Python working with Apache httpd and mod_proxy_uwsgi, but access to it results in an Error 503. In httpd.conf I activated the module. In vhosts configuration, I made the following related entries: DocumentRoot "/srv/http/my.host.name/" <Directory "/srv/http/"> Options -Indexes </Directory> <Location "/bud/"> ProxyPass uwsgi://127.0.0.1:3031/ </Location> In location /srv/http/my.host.name/bud/ there's a script named buddy.py: def application(env, start_response): start_response('200 OK', [('Content-Type','text/html')]) return [b"Hello World"] The URL I'm using is: http://my.host.name/bud/buddy In /etc/uwsgi/vassals there's a configuration "example.ini": [uwsgi] chdir = /srv/http/my.host.name/bud module = buddy plugins = python I've started uwsgi in emperor mode, starting "emperor.uwsgi.service".|| What am I doing wrong? Kind regards Peter PS: I've tried to find the necessary information in Arch Wiki or in the uwsgi docs (e,.g. copied the Python example there ;-) ), but it seems I'm missing some "glue" ....

[arch-general] php-pear compromised
by Andy Pieters 24 Jan '19

24 Jan '19

Any of you seen the news about php-pear? There's an AUR package that downloads from pear.php.net so if that was within the last 6 months it could have been the compromised one? https://thehackernews.com/2019/01/php-pear-hacked.html

[arch-general] Where does /usr/bin/uwsgi come from?
by Peter Nabbefeld 23 Jan '19

23 Jan '19

Hello all, I've got sth. strange: I wanted to install the "uwsgi" package, but the binray is already installed. "pacman -Qo uwsgi" results in "No package owns /usr/bin/uwsgi" (German: "Kein Paket besitzt /usr/bin/uwsgi"). So, why is it on my laptop? I'd guess it's probably been installed at some time with apache httpd but has been removed later, but don't know. Anybody knows about such an issue? Kind regards Peter

[arch-general] VirtualBox 6.0.0 coredumps when accessed via SSH and --headless Win clients crawl. New 5.2.24 is OK
by David C. Rankin 15 Jan '19

15 Jan '19

All, After my thread of 1/3/19 "[arch-general] VirtualBox 6 on 4.20 - Anybody seeing guests become unresponsive after several hours?", I have been working the issue on the vbox-users list. The problem effects VirtualBox when accessed over ssh, and Windows guests run --headless. The Virtualbox 6.0.0 console coredumps when accessed via ssh, while windows guest run --headless throws select/read error (under strace) bringing the guest to a crawl. With the release of 5.2.24 today by oracle, I built and downgraded both virtualbox-bin and virtualbox-ext-oracle and the problems are completely gone. Further, the release notes state the 5.2 branch will remain supported through 2020 as 6.0 matures. If anyone experiences similar problems with virtualbox when accessed over your LAN, then the 5.2.24 release is an option I have confirmed works (as well as all modules building under Linux 4.20.1, Bash 5 and Readline 8, etc..) I have not tried the now 6.0.2 yet, but as nothing addressed these issues in the changelog, I suspect they remain. Will check this weekend and if fixed will report back. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Kpartx should be in the repos and archiso for enabling encrypted GPT install
by nsajko＠gmail.com 14 Jan '19

14 Jan '19

To mount a root GPT partition which resides on an encrypted disk, one needs the kpartx tool to make the mapping for the partition (the kernel does not independently make those for partitions on device mapper maps, which is what a dm-crypt decrypted device is). Thus kpartx needs to be on the Archlinux installation ISO to enable that kind of setup. It would of course first be necessary for an Archlinux Developer or Trusted User to adopt kpartx, so I hope there is somebody willing to do this ...? Note that kpartx is a common utility and in its own package across a lot of distributions; like Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE, ... Note: it may be possible to use losetup instead of kpartx so as to make a loop device instead of a device map, but that would come with an overhead? Another alternative setup, perhaps more widely used, is having encrypted LVM. While this does not require kpartx, LVM may be undesireable because of its complexity and requiring multiple userspace daemons beside Udev. Appended is an example PKGBUILD which only installs the kpartx executable and manual page: pkgname=(kpartx) pkgver=0.7.9 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc='Create device mapper maps for partitions in devices or files' arch=(x86_64) url='http://christophe.varoqui.free.fr' license=(LGPL GPL GPL2) depends=(device-mapper) makedepends=(gzip) source=('mpt.tar.gz::https://git.opensvc.com/?p=multipath-tools/.git;a=snapshot;h=5c…') md5sums=() sha512sums=('d4abc9580b6a3e457c99bee96d5aaab29a984ae77f91cbbe52e1b4af16809319a9100c45ce5600242fa52819dd44a9cb77e13305bc4f9651c532906243f2d544') build() { cd multipath-tools-5c67a8b/kpartx gcc -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DLIBDM_API_COOKIE -l devmapper -o kpartx $CPPFLAGS $CFLAGS $LDFLAGS *.c gzip kpartx.8 } package() { cd multipath-tools-5c67a8b/kpartx install -d "$pkgdir/usr/bin" install -m 755 kpartx "$pkgdir/usr/bin" install -d "$pkgdir/usr/share/man/man8" install -m 644 kpartx.8.gz "$pkgdir/usr/share/man/man8" }
