[arch-general] Samba Clustering Support
by Carsten Feuls 20 Dec '15

20 Dec '15

Is it possible to compile samba with clustering support in arch. I've tested it with the PKGBUILD for samba. And I only need to add --with-cluster-support in the ./configure part. And the config files need to be moved to /etc. Whould it make sense for arch to activate it? I could not find any regressions with it! Sincerely yours Carsten Feuls

[arch-general] gnupg, dirmngr and sockets
by arnaud gaboury 18 Dec '15

18 Dec '15

As I was building an AUR package[0], I had an issue with validating the key. I run: $ gpg --rec-keys PkgKey only to get an error about dirmngr not being able to connect to ~/.config/gnupg/S.dirmngr $GNUPGHOME is set in my env. After hours of reading similar issues, but usually running such command as root, I couldn't find any clear answer. I tried to understand how dirmngr worked, the sockets, and the whole process. I got the answer running on one shell $ dirmngr --debug-level expert --server and the above command in another one. The culprit was in fact my gnupd home dire files set as mod 600. Settings the files as 700 solved the issue. Now I am wondering a few things: - man dirmngr says running in daemon mode is depreciated. But grepping the process, I see: 289:root 27509 1 0 09:12 ? 00:00:01 dirmngr --daemon --homedir /etc/pacman.d/gnupg What starts this daemon (a previous gpg command ran as root?)? How to change the way it is run from daemon to server mode? - the sockets directory (root one in /root/.gnupg/ and user one in ~./config/gnupg/) do not seem to me the best place. Something under /run would be more appropriate. I can not find any doc on how to set the socket in another place. Same can be said for socket S.pgp-agent. In fact, for root, this socket is in two places: /etc/pacman.d/gnupg and /root/.gnupg. I am not sure having /root/.gnupg is a good option. Is there any way to change all these behaviors via any config files ? If no, I am thinking of writing systemd service + socket files. Thank you for any tips and thoughts.

Hi all, Has anybody got plasma 5.5 under wayland working? I have weston working which I can launch from sddm. So hardware is not a problem I suppose. I have created a test user with no existing configuration at all. When I run startplasmacompositor, it displays the splash screen and then goes blank. Any suggestions? What package I am missing? Following is the output generated by startplasmacompositor. ------------ $ cat /home/test/plasma.log startplasmacompositor: Starting up... no screens available, assuming 24-bit color QPainter::begin: Paint device returned engine == 0, type: 2 QPainter::setRenderHint: Painter must be active to set rendering hints QPainter::setPen: Painter not active QPainter::setBrush: Painter not active QPainter::setCompositionMode: Painter not active QPainter::end: Painter not active, aborted No backend specified through command line argument, trying auto resolution Backend does not support input, enforcing libinput support OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Haswell Mobile OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 11.0.7 OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30 Driver: Intel GPU class: Haswell OpenGL version: 3.0 GLSL version: 1.30 Mesa version: 11.0.7 Linux kernel version: 4.2.5 Requires strict binding: no GLSL shaders: yes Texture NPOT support: yes Virtual Machine: no X-Server started on display :0 org.kde.kwindowsystem: Could not find any platform plugin Configuring Lock Action Session path: "/org/freedesktop/login1/session/c3" QSocketNotifier: Invalid socket 43 and type 'Read', disabling... ------------ TIA -- Regards Shridhar

[arch-general] First try to go to KDE 5.5
by Manuel Reimer 14 Dec '15

14 Dec '15

Hello, today, I tried to update my laptop to KDE 5.5. The first problem, I've found, is, that it seems to be impossible to configure SDDM. The option is there in "System Settings", but nothing opens. Then, I connected my TV screen to the HDMI port of my laptop and tried dual-screen setup. At first this seemed to work well, but for some reason *every* window now opens on my TV. The laptop screen was set to be default, so this is not the reason. I configured the laptop screen to be turned off when the lid is closed. If I do this, then the laptop screen keeps black if the lid is opened again. If I lock the screen in this case and unlock after that, then the screen turns on, but the taskbar seems to be crashed. This is just a short list of bugs, I found, before uninstalling Plasma 5. Does someone here have similar problems? As KDE 4 also had many bugs, I learned to deal with, as they never got fixed, and KDE 5 doesn't seem to be much better, I now give Gnome a try... Manuel

Aw you're dropping support for Plasma 4. I hate to see it go. Some system icons don't show up in plasma 5.

Please don't! Qt5 is still crashes if you connect or disconnect external monitor and that's very annoying. I just switched from 5 to 4 this Thursday after using Plasma 5 for 5 months. Hopefully, that would be fixed in Qt 5.6. Please don't remove KDE 4 packages until then!
