[arch-general] tclx upgrade failure
by Jude DaShiell 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

I have the tcl and tclx packages installed since those are emacspeak dependencies and I use emacspeak for now. Earlier today I had this upgrade failure: error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: tclx: installing tcl (8.6.7-1) breaks dependency 'tcl=8.6.6' Do I need to ignore a package temporarily or do something else to clear this error? --

Re: [arch-general] package upgrade failure

I decided to try removing tclx from the system and once that got done it broke no other dependency and the upgrade went off without a hitch. That tclx package had 8.4 for a version number so wasn't keeping up with the rest of tcl. --

[arch-general] Handling python venv packages breaking on glibc update
by Oon-Ee Ng 21 Aug '17

21 Aug '17

I use psycopg2 for postgres access in my pyramid web-app, and like most (all?) python developers all the dependencies are in a virtualenv, including psycopg2 itself. This means, of course, that the psycopg2 wheel is precompiled. With the recent glibc-2.26 update, I can no longer import psycopg2. This is the error message I get on the file libresolv-2-c4c53def.5.so: symbol __res_maybe_init, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference I'm not sure why the psycopg2 pip package bundles in libresolv (which is part of glibc in Arch, explaining why the Arch psycopg2 package works fine, even without a recompile). Where's the right place for me to fix this? With the psycopg2 pip maintainers or somewhere else?

[arch-general] text console no longer turns off (it blanks, but powered) after 4.12.5 or xf86-video-ati update
by David C. Rankin 20 Aug '17

20 Aug '17

All, I have 2 Arch servers that boot to the default text console. It has always properly blanked (DPMS power off) after the default timeout (6-7 min?). After update to the 4.12.5 kernel, which occurred at the same time of the xf86-video-ati (1:7.9.0-1 -> 1:7.9.0-2) update, the monitor no longer powers off when the screen blanks. An hour later there is still the blanked-but-powered light from the monitor (I don't know if this is called backlight power for the text console rather than X). The problem continues after the 4.12.6 update. So there was either something in the 4.12.5 kernel update that is preventing the console power-off from working, or something in the xf86-video-ati update that did it. There is nothing in the journal about video or dpms. What else can I check to help figure out what broke? With X at least there is xset, but I'm not sure what to look at for the default terminal? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] intel-gpu-tools updated PKGBUILD
by Jordan Glover 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

I prepared updated PKGBUILD for intel-gpu-tools package[1] which is flagged out-of-date since 2016-12-05. I updated it to newest version (1.19), updated PGP key to currently used one, upgraded hash to sha256, added new dependencies found by namcap and generally enhanced PKGBUILD to highest Arch standards. I would be glad if current maintainer or anyone else capable could merge it to official package. There is no official channel for submitting such changes so I decided to send it to this Arch mailinglist.

[arch-general] unresolveable dependencies

resolving dependencies... warning: cannot resolve "glibc>=2.26", a dependency of "lib32-glibc" :: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies: lib32-glibc :: Do you want to Is it reasonable to add libc32-glibc to my ignore packages list?

[arch-general] pacman doesn't show download progress
by SET 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

pacman -Syu show database download progress but not packages being downloaded. They do get downloaded and installation progress is rightly displayed. This can be annoying when connection speed is poor. This has been observed on three machines. I am obviously requesting a solution and am ready to provide any additional required information. Thanks.

[arch-general] How can I set CAPS LOCK as Escape throughout reboot
by Junayeed Ahnaf 17 Aug '17

Hello, Currently I use "setxkbmap -option caps:escape" and it works well, but I'd like to know how to make it persistent through reboot. I set this line in .xinitrc but it didn't work. Thanks J

Or not. It's erratically switching between working and not-working. So it's probably one faulty server behind a load balancer? Seems strange behaviour for a single machine. Mvg, Guus Snijders

[arch-general] Unit dbus-org.freedesktop.Avahi.service not found ?

All, This isn't new, I've seen it for the past few weeks or so, but on boot, dbus throws a journal error that avahi service cannot be found?
