[arch-general] mkvtoolnix-gtk: The new GUI is missing
by Benjamin Robin 28 Sep '15

28 Sep '15

Hi, We do have trouble with some bug reports [1], [2] and [3]. The maintainer (Giovanni Scafora) does not answer, nor update the PKGBUILD. In the last bug report [3] we kindly offer a working example of PKGBUILD which fix the problem : bring back the GUI (Qt5 instead of Gtk). The first bug report [1] is more than 4 years old without any respond... What do we need to do to resolve this issue ? Thank you, Benjamin (benjarobin) [1] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24532 [2] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/44948 [3] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/45439

[arch-general] Alsa Softvol and MOC
by Storm Dragon 26 Sep '15

26 Sep '15

Howdy, I have installed extra/moc 1:2.5.0-3. Reading through the docs, and things on the net, I found a way to set up a softvol control for it in alsa, so when I adjust its volume, it only changes the volume for moc. Everything went well, except, I can't adjust the volume from within the moc app, which should be possible because you can set the alsa device and mixer in the ~/.moc/config file. It is using the right device, and amixer sset Mocmaster 50% sets the volume. It's just the in program controls that fail. When moc starts, it gives this error: ALSA lib dlmisc.c:254:(snd1_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_softvol.so This makes me think that either a plugin is missing from alsa-plugins, or maybe moc is using an outdated way to change its volume. However, if the alsa controls are set to their defaults, the volume works fine, but it lowers the volume on the whole system. I did a pacman search for alsa softvol but it didn't return anything. Is there anything I can install to fix this? Thanks for any help Storm -- Powered by Arch Linux!

[arch-general] build package from source and shared libraries issue
by arnaud gaboury 25 Sep '15

25 Sep '15

I am scratching my head since a week now and can't figure out how to solve my issue. Here is the situation: 1- I have installed parallel_studio_xe from Intel with the AUR package[0] 2- /etc/ld.sconf.so has all the needed .conf file to feed correctly my ld.so.cache 2- I build R package[1] from source with the following script.

[arch-general] Arch Forum problem

if you try to register https://bbs.archlinux.org/register.php it has a anti-spam question. that fails on both cent and arch cent: [x@x /]$ date -u +%V$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g > ^C [x@x /]$ arch: [root@alarmpi ~]# echo date -u +%V$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g > [root@alarmpi ~]# date -u +%V$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g > [root@alarmpi ~]# ... also the post i'm asking about (and was willing to register to the arch forum) https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=183086 someone did a RTFM response and the wiki/manual page person reference doesn't have a straight answer and please don't complain about it being an old post, i'm trying to help you guys, as that post comes up in google first page and with fairly board google searches. so a proper answer would help other potential Arch users.

[arch-general] Glade package outdated
by Lukas K. 24 Sep '15

24 Sep '15

Hi there, the glade package is outdated for quite some time now. Glade 3.19 has been released June this year and still isn't included in the Archlinux repos. I flagged the package out of date several times, but the flag got reset without the package being updated. Are there any roadblocks in updating the package to 3.19? I'm running Glade 3.19 for some time without any issues. Lukas

[arch-general] man page selection helper for arch
by David C. Rankin 24 Sep '15

24 Sep '15

All, For what it is worth, I like to have an automatic list of manual pages presented when there is more than one matching page available (similar to whatis) I also like to be able to select which page to display from the that list, without having to type 'man pg name' again. This has always been a feature on some oh the other distros. I couldn't find anything that would do that on Arch, so I wrote a small function that can be aliased to provide the functionality. If you're interested, it is: ## function to alias as man on arch to provide # user selection of available man pages manselect() { [ -z "$1" ] && return 1 if [ -z "$2" ]; then local timeout=5 local pgs=( $(whatis "$1" | sed -e 's/^.*[(]//' -e 's/[)].*$//') ) local npgs=${#pgs[@]} [ $npgs -eq 0 ] && return 1 local pg=${pgs[0]} if [ $npgs -eq 1 ]; then /usr/bin/man $pg "$1" else local line while read -r line; do printf " %s\n" "${line%)*})" done < <(whatis "$1") printf "Select a man page (%s): " "$pg" read -t $timeout ans && pg=$ans || echo "" /usr/bin/man $pg "$1" fi else if [ ${1:0:1} -eq ${1:0:1} ] >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then /usr/bin/man $1 "$2" else printf "error: invalid man page specification: '%s'\n" "man $1 $2" fi fi } I just include it as a function in .bashrc and then provide an alias: alias man='manselect' You can adjust the order the man pages are presented in by adjusting the SECTION order in /etc/man_db.conf. This can tailor the order of which page is shown by default if no selection is made. Thought I would pass it along... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] systemd-logind: failed to get session
by Ralf Mardorf 23 Sep '15

23 Sep '15

Hi, Arch runs without any issues, so I randomly discovered this: [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log [ 26.702] Current Operating System: Linux archlinux 3.10.61-rt65-1-rt-lts x86_64 [ 27.745] (EE) systemd-logind: failed to get session: PID 437 does not belong to any known session [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ ps aux | grep 437 root 437 2.1 2.2 297136 84320 tty7 Ssl+ Sep22 32:09 /usr/lib/xorg-server/Xorg :0 -seat seat0 -auth /run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch Web research regarding "does not belong to any known session" without experiencing issues leads nowhere. What could be the reason? Regards, Ralf

[arch-general] Kernel NULL pointer and crash - raid bug in 4.1.6 - and fix
by Genes Lists 21 Sep '15

21 Sep '15

I (and others) have enocuntered a pretty nasty raid bug that crashes the machine running current 4.1.x stable. It seems a commit is available but not yet in 4.1.6. (commit 49895bcc7e566ba455eb2996607d6fbd3447ce16) Seems like it is in 4.2 tho. Not sure it's worth patching 4.1.6 with this if 4.2 is imminent - but it may be - it kills the machine and has caused some file lossage. Bugzilla: Upstream: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103711 Arch : https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/46188 Tobias - what do you suggest best way to proceed - skip as 4.2 is out or patch 4.1.6? Thanks gene/
