[arch-general] systemctl problems with enable,disable,start,stop
by Maykel Franco 30 May '16

Hi, I have installed archlinux from zero. And when I enable anything service the command is slow and i get this error: [root@arch-kodi-nas maykel]# systemctl enable network(a)enp2s0.service Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: Timeout was reached (g-io-er ror-quark, 24) Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/network(a)enp2s0.service to /etc/systemd/system/network@.service. [root@arch-kodi-nas maykel]# systemctl enable sshd Error getting authority: Error initializing authority: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: Timeout was reached (g-io-er ror-quark, 24) Is the bug in systemctl? I have installed archlinux un my notebook from 4 years ago and no problems. Thanks in advanced.

[arch-general] libxcb 1.12

Hi, libxcb 1.12 has been pushed into [extra], but depends on xcb-proto >= 1.12 which is still in [testing]. Is that a sync issue or a mistake? Thanks, Bruno

Re: [arch-general] question from a new member

Hello all. The question was slightly misunderstood. I'm the friend that rosanna mentioned was helping her. The actual situation is that we were trying to install talking arch and the installer will not talk. I have vmware workstation player on her computer and set up a vm for it. However, when connecting the cd and booting the vm there is no audio. The distro used was downloaded from here. https://talkingarch.tk/download.php Any thoughts? > Subject: Re: [arch-general] question from a new member > Date: Wed, 25 May 2016 17:52:58 -0700 > From: Zachary Kline <zkline(a)speedpost.net> > Reply-To: General Discussion about Arch Linux > <arch-general(a)archlinux.org> > To: General Discussion about Arch Linux <arch-general(a)archlinux.org> > > > > Hi, > > Did your friend actually go through the process of installing Talking Arch? If so, espeakup should have been installed as one of the manual steps involved. If not, you need to do this yourself.

[arch-general] Deletion of old account
by Giovanni 'ItachiSan' Santini 24 May '16

24 May '16

Good afternoon, after some time, I decided to shift to another email address in order to have an account on this mailing list. My previous account was based on a Yahoo! Mail address which seems unusable from the start of January. If possible, I would like that an admin could delete my previous account. I will give my email address in PM. Thanks in advance. -- Giovanni Santini My blog: http://giovannisantini.tk My code: https://github.com/ItachiSan My code, again: https://gitlab.com/u/ItachiSan My Twitter: https://twitter.com/santini__gio My Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/giovanni.santini My Google+: https://plus.google.com/+GiovanniSantini/ My GPG: 2FADEBF5

[arch-general] Libarchive 3.2
by Federico Di Pierro 24 May '16

24 May '16

Hi! I see that libarchive is still at 3.1.2 which is 3 years old, while latest version is now 3.2, released circa a month ago. I already saw it is tagged as out of date, but still it has not been updated. So...is there any issue blocking its update? Or is just packager away for some time? :) Thanks everyone! Federico

[arch-general] Kick vtk6 to rebuild?
by Elvis Stansvik 23 May '16

23 May '16

Hi folks, The vtk6 package in [community] (unmaintained) currently has Python extensions which link against libhdf5.so.10 (for example /opt/vtk6/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vtk/vtkIOAMRPython.so). The package should have had a dependency on hdf5. The hdf5 library has had a so version bump since vtk6 was built (libhdf5.so.10 -> libhdf5.so.100). Would it be possible to just give the vtk6 package a kick it to rebuild, so that the package in [community] can keep working for a little longer? It'll probably work fine if it's just re-built. I unfortunately don't have time to take over the maintainership of the aging vtk6. But if it's possible to just trigger a rebuild, that would be great. Thanks in advance, Elvis

Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] [PATCH 1/1] move initramfs generation from install script to pacman hook

Not sure triggering grub update automagically is a good idea, I maintain grub.cfg myself and I'm sure more people do the same. I'd guess everyone that maintains their own grub.cfg would really appreciate not having a bad surprise after a kernel update. -- Mauro Santos

[arch-general] Problem with pacman hooks, alphabetic order.
by Carsten Feuls 19 May '16

19 May '16

Hello Everybody, I have some trouble with pacman hooks. Arch is going to use pacman hooks in every package. etckeeper was one of the first package that use pacman hooks, without any trouble. But now it becomes more tricky to run. My Problem is that the pacman hooks run in alphabetic order. And not in a Prirority order. Here is an example: [2016-05-13 23:49] [PACMAN] starting full system upgrade [2016-05-13 23:49] [ALPM] running 'etckeeper-pre-install.hook'... [2016-05-13 23:49] [ALPM] transaction started [2016-05-13 23:49] [ALPM] upgraded ca-certificates-utils (20150402-1 -> 20160507-1) [2016-05-13 23:49] [ALPM] upgraded ca-certificates-mozilla (3.23-3 -> 3.23-4) [2016-05-13 23:49] [ALPM] upgraded ca-certificates-cacert (20140824-2 -> 20140824-3) [2016-05-13 23:49] [ALPM] upgraded ca-certificates (20150402-1 -> 20160507-1) [2016-05-13 23:49] [ALPM] upgraded glib2 (2.48.0-2 -> 2.48.1-1) [2016-05-13 23:49] [ALPM] upgraded gnupg (2.1.12-1 -> 2.1.12-2) [2016-05-13 23:49] [ALPM] upgraded nss (3.23-3 -> 3.23-4) [2016-05-13 23:49] [ALPM] transaction completed [2016-05-13 23:49] [ALPM] running 'check_pacfile.hook'...<<< My Own hook [2016-05-13 23:49] [ALPM] running 'etckeeper-post-install.hook'... [2016-05-13 23:49] [ALPM] running 'sync.hook'... <<< My Own hook [2016-05-13 23:49] [ALPM] running 'texinfo-install.hook'... [2016-05-13 23:49] [ALPM] running 'update-ca-trust.hook'... In this log output we can see that etckeeper-post-install.hook is run before texinfo-install.hook and update-ca-trust.hook. This is problematic because update-ca-trust.hook has update the /etc/ssl/certs/java/cacerts but this file was not commited by the etckeeper-post-install.hook because it is run to early. The hooks run in alpabetic order. I have tested to rename the etckeeper-post-install.hook to "99-etckeeper-post- install.hook" but it does not help, because numbers run before characters. How this problem could be solved? Yes I know I can number every hook but I prefer a more upstream solution.. Sincerly Yours Carsten Feuls

I'll have my ears on. full aslr would be a big deal for arch and it's users. thanks, ITwrx
