[arch-general] Update to 4.12.3-1 failed to rebuild DKMS virtualbox modules?
by David C. Rankin 29 Jul '17

29 Jul '17

Archdevs, Update tonight to 4.12.3-1, and for the first time in years, DKMS failed to rebuild the VirtualBox kernel modules. Specifically attempting a manual install/build resulted in: # dkms install -m vboxhost -v 5.1.22 Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping... Building module: cleaning build area... make -j8 KERNELRELEASE=4.12.3-1-ARCH -C /usr/lib/modules/4.12.3-1-ARCH/build M=/var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/5.1.22/build....(bad exit status: 2) Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.12.3-1-ARCH (x86_64) Consult /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/5.1.22/build/make.log for more information. Is this known, expected, or do we need to open a bug? The error from the log centers around: CC [M] /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/5.1.22/build/vboxdrv/r0drv/linux/memuserkernel-r0drv-linux.o In file included from /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/5.1.22/build/vboxdrv/r0drv/linux/alloc-r0drv-linux.c:31:0: /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/5.1.22/build/vboxdrv/r0drv/linux/alloc-r0drv-linux.c: In function ‘VBoxHost_RTMemContAlloc’: /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/5.1.22/build/vboxdrv/r0drv/linux/the-linux-kernel.h:323:47: error: implicit declaration of function ‘set_pages_x’; did you mean ‘get_page’?

[arch-general] Procedure for getting informed about ban duration and reason
by mpan 27 Jul '17

27 Jul '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 I’m asking for an advice on how to proceed. I am *not* discussing the reasons or trying to rant. The situation is: — On July 25th at 3:10 UTC I have been banned on #archlinux-offtopic with the reason „fuck you” and a warning „next time you trash talk on the ops, I set it to a week”. I was sleeping at the time, so I have discovered that just before 16 UTC. — Since I was given no info on the ban duration and the reason seemed strange, I’ve wanted to contact the op responsible for the ban. He was absent, so I was advised to use phrik’s !later to send a message. This is what I have done, asking for the reason and the relevant logs with the context. — The op has appeared. After waiting for a hour I’ve received no response, so I have PM’d him with the same question. — After another hour of waiting there was still no answer, but seeing the op on #archlinux I’ve asked him about the issue. I was informed that if I am going to ask about that, the ban will be prolonged and then I was threatened with a “final warning”. It’s July 27th ~22:30 UTC and I am neither unbanned, have no information on ban duration or the actual reason and being prohibited from querying that via IRC. What should I do next? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEERGuTZCqWmv5+0VD7fISBmK6T07sFAll5F5YACgkQfISBmK6T 07tbAQgAowUzUloVRgw2umrYTEVcJ6cBZ0OG17PwR/3D2kXoIn1p1Ke0zA9KVVLY dxjY3DwdMso+gVS3vCoBsOOGvxKGbXldE7fX8u8EAiPNvPNZt33JLvb1i9jFFaEG 5ArpV8dOc1rAaARkmAyzJOCnUjqZH4GfVZmLzEbX1GwdIm4L55JZyN63fM6asrTu /KaoI+oBZ1WhoKtBOQqCH3Ivqbpq5u5ZH8TdiQwmxviujhQEo1SqQ9yX+rGV8CGA D/bDIwhkk7FKSB2RBlbKOpW+3CLPSKa8ad6tFEOHWpt5joRTwdxnF2/ZhC8MNBfZ Z7LUYjaervciKhZFCsUIQ4GCCN2owA== =uo7i -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[arch-general] Dual boot issue, windows doesn't show up on grub
by Junayeed Ahnaf 27 Jul '17

27 Jul '17

Hello , I installed arch on my laptop which has 2 hard drives , one is ssd (linux is installed there, also grub), one is HDD(with windows). So, at boot time , I can select either hard disk or ssd and can get either windows or arch. Is there a way for grub to see both Linux and Windows? I tried sudo update-grub and sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg but they don't recognize windows. My windows is not uefi if that's any issue. My linux is on /dev/sdb2 and windows on /dev/sda2 if that's any concern. Thanks J

[arch-general] Automatic login
by Junayeed Ahnaf 19 Jul '17

19 Jul '17

Hello, How to enable automatic login in arch (using sddm and KDE) . I tried enabling it in /etc/sddm.conf but it didn't work. Also I saw something like getty but I didn't understand what it does or how to make it work. In all other linux there is an option called "user" in settings but that is absent in Arch. Thanks in advance. Nirjhor

[arch-general] New - systemd 234 - luks partition fails to ask for password
by Genes Lists 17 Jul '17

17 Jul '17

This has been working for years - starting on recent reboots systemd is failing to ask for password for luks encrypted /home partition and boot halts. Fully updated from testing repos - when I reboot now, systemd no longer asks for password to unlock luks partition. There is no hesitation at all and no password prompt at all. The boot runs through and gives an error that crypt set up failed. Root is not encrypted just /home. I'm then prompted to press Ctl D or give root password and drop to single user mode - doing that then I can manually do: cryptsetup open /dev/sdxx home which prompts for password and succeeds After I do above, then the error goes away evidenced by: systemctl status systemd-cryptsetup(a)home.service shows all is normal - exiting from single user 'repair' mode - then boot continues and completes normally. And /home gets mounted via /dev/mapper as normal The issue is with latest systemd that I no longer get prompted for a password for the luks encrypted partition. Thoughts: systemd password agents: running systemd-ask-password by hand does indeed ask for password in the console. /run/systemd/ask-password is empty directory. the journal contains this: systemd-cryptsetup[316]: Failed to query password: Timer expired systemd[1]: Failed to start Cryptography Setup for home. (Its possible that the bug is in systemd-cryptsetup in latest release?) Versions: # pacman -Q linux systemd linux 4.12.1-2 systemd 234.0-2 cryptsetup 1.7.5-1 I googled but was no able to find any relevant bugs - checked systemd github issues but found nothing similar. thanks. -- Gene lists(a)sapience.com

[arch-general] No extract menu on Dolphin
by Junayeed Ahnaf 16 Jul '17

16 Jul '17

Hello, I can't see any "extract here > autodetect subfolder" menu on dolphin . After googling I found out it is a common problem in Ubuntu and the fix is sudo ln -s /usr/share/kde4/servicetypes/konqpopupmenuplugin.desktop /usr/share/kservicetypes5/ but it doesn't work on arch. Any idea how can I fix this in arch ? Thanks Junayeed Ahnaf Nirjhor Twitter @ Nirjhor<http://twitter.com/nirjhor>
