[arch-general] [Xfce-terminal] Cannot remove entries from history
by Peter Nabbefeld 11 Jan '19

11 Jan '19

Hello, I've got the following rather suspicious problem with xfce-terminal: After removing entries from the history (using "history -d" or "history -c"), the entries are obviously buffered. When I close the terminal and the open another, the history is available again - for some reasons I do see this as a security risk. Can I remove the buffered entries somehow? Kind regards Peter

[arch-general] X logs me out from tty on close
by Ali Emre Gülcü 10 Jan '19

10 Jan '19

Hello everyone, I had a rather interesting problem recently. I dont have any display manager and I open desktop environment from tty when needed. Previously when I logged out from Xfce or closed down X server, it would put me back on my tty session. Now when I do the same, it also logs me out from tty and I must login again. Is this the expected behaviour after some xorg or kernel update? Or did I mess up something? I tried with both `startx` and `startxfce4`. And to be sure that this is not an driver related problem, I also tried with `nvidia-xrun`, same results. Thanks in advance.

[arch-general] Gnome Shell suspend-then-hibernate
by Frank Zimmermann 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

Good evening, inspired by a previous thread when Gnome 3.30 introduced suspend-then- hibernate I did setup hibernation on my laptop. By the time I did this Gnome reverted to the standard suspend, probably by the critics received. So I added the following line to my logind.conf IdleAction=suspend-then-hibernate This worked fine until recently the system won't no longer suspend then hibernate when Gnome Shell is running. A manual systemctl suspend-then- hibernate works as expected. I've checked in dconf editor and there's no option to choose suspend-then-hibernate. I for my self find this function quite neat since the laptop is quite often sitting long periods without being in use. Any ideas if there's possibility to gain this function with gnome back? Thanks Frank

hello members (and happy new year), my system is up to date and works with python 3.7. for a specific need, I want to install python 3.5 but cannot go down because its installation breaks an dependency: :: installing python (3.5.2-1) breaks dependency 'python>=3.7' required by libreoffice-still. what do you think is the easiest way to achieve my goals ? regards, lacsaP.

[arch-general] VirtualBox 6 on 4.20 - Anybody seeing guests become unresponsive after several hours?
by David C. Rankin 04 Jan '19

04 Jan '19

All, I have a number of virtualbox guests I run from my Arch host and have for a number of years. Since update to Virtualbox 6.0 (using the following AUR packages) https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/virtualbox-bin/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/virtualbox-ext-oracle/ after the guests have been running for several hours, they become totally unresponsive (both Linux and Windows guests). To the point that typing 'ls' results in nothing but echoing back the path where the command lives. $ ls /usr/bin/ls .... Shutting down the desktop and moving back to the normal terminal where login: is display, attempting to login by entering a username and pressing enter does nothing but timeout and spit the uname information back to the screen and redisplay the login prompt. Regardless of guest type, a hard poweroff is required to shutdown, as the guest is otherwise unresponsive. VBoxManage controlvm "name" poweroff is required to actually terminate the guest. Restarting appears to go just fine. Looking at the virtualbox logs, there really isn't anything telling. There are a couple of VBVA and VRDP messages about display size and color depth, but nothing that stands out as an error. Nothing in the journal of the host that points to anything wrong. Has anyone else seen this with VB 6 (either the Arch or AUR packages)? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
