[arch-general] linux 4.4 bad package - wont install
by Genes Lists 16 Jan '16

16 Jan '16

There is a bug with the PKGFILE which is too aggressive copying files with names containing Kconfig. Consequence is upon install attempt: error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) /usr/lib/modules/4.4.0-1-ARCH/build/Documentation/kbuild/Kconfig.recursion-issue-01 exists in both 'linux-docs' and 'linux-headers' /usr/lib/modules/4.4.0-1-ARCH/build/Documentation/kbuild/Kconfig.recursion-issue-02 exists in both 'linux-docs' and 'linux-headers' /usr/lib/modules/4.4.0-1-ARCH/build/Documentation/kbuild/Kconfig.select-break exists in both 'linux-docs' and 'linux-headers' Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded. A "dumb" fix is to remove the duplicate by adding a line to PKGFILE something like: rm "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/modules/${_kernver}/build/Documentation/kbuild"/Kconfig.*-* gene

[arch-general] Samsung EVO 850 TRIM Bug Fixed?
by Andrew Martin 15 Jan '16

15 Jan '16

Hello, I installed Arch on an EVO 850 120GB SSD. I read about the linux EVO 800-series TRIM bug a few months ago: https://blog.algolia.com/when-solid-state-drives-are-not-that-solid/ However it appeared to have been fixed in the 4.1 kernel release: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/9a9324d3969678d44b330e1230ad2c8ae6… However a few days ago, my root partition suddenly became corrupted and I was forced to reinstall. While I cannot be 100% certain it was this bug, it seems likely. Has it been confirmed that this bug has been fixed in Arch? If so, at which kernel version? Thanks, Andrew

[arch-general] Kali rt2800usb driver on Arch for wireshark tcp capture
by Fulcrum Mike 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

Hi everybody I spent days trying to get my Alfa AWUS036H work with Wireshark on Arch Linux. It captured all sorts of fancy protocols, but no tcp. I booted Kali linux on the same PC and followed the same procedure for data capture and this time everything worked. I could see http requests to multiple wifi access points nearby. After some more googleing, I think the problem is with the rt2800usb driver on arch. I read somewhere that kali comes with a 'modified' wifi driver for capturing tcp data. I was wondering if its possible to somehow get kali's driver working on arch? any help would be appreciated! Regards

[arch-general] x86 hardware suggestion for home movie theater setup (kodi)
by Wolfgang Mader 11 Jan '16

11 Jan '16

Dear list, right now, I run a home movie theater setup under arch linux on an arm device. While I really appreciate the low power consumption and the small form factors of arm (developer) boards, for me, arm also comes with a much larger maintenance burden than standard x86 hardware. Thus, I search for a platform which is x86 and well suited for a home theater setup. While browsing the internet, I go the feeling, that the Intel Atom series might be a good way to go. In particular, here is what I aim for: - standard boot process. No uboot. - standard cpu such that I can relay on standard arch repos and community - a graphics chip for which drivers are officially available, such as integrated intel graphics - low power consumption - some sort of internet connectivity, preferable cabled, but wifi would also be ok. - usb, but nothing fancy, only for keyboard Software wise, the hardware should be able to allow for browsing the internet and to deliver video and audio fluently. The interface I am targeting is kodi. Since I have no experience with low-powered x86 hardware such as the Intel Atom chips, I kindly ask for your experience and opinions on the topic. Thanks and have a nice week.

[arch-general] Is Linux 4.3 stable?
by Bennett Piater 08 Jan '16

08 Jan '16

Hi everyone, I just saw that 4.3.3-2 hit stable. There are still open bugs, one of them critical, about the 4.3 series on the bug tracker. I heard of a lot of issues around this kernel on the dev-public mailing list. Does anyone have problems with this update? Also, does anyone have problems using Intel graphics?

[arch-general] System crash troubleshooting help?
by Aron Widforss 08 Jan '16

08 Jan '16

Good evening all, I was just watching Linux Sucks (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pOxlazS3zs) on Youtube when my system froze. It was the whole system, I could for example not switch to a TTY. The audio was looping a one second thing. My troubleshooting skills are no pride to me, so I though I could just ask you for help. These are the last entries in the journal (in reverse). Did my system just crash because of a DHCP request? Or should I focus on the kwin error, which is the very last one? I will probably not be available to answer to anything during the next 20 hours. -- Vänligen, Aron Widforss ---- Jan 06 22:31:19 hostname kwin_x11[899]: QXcbConnection: XCB error: 3 (BadWindow), sequence: 4113, resource id: 2097154, major code: 18 (ChangeProperty), minor code: 0 Jan 06 22:31:19 hostname systemd[1]: Started Network Manager Script Dispatcher Service.

[arch-general] Question about FS#47134
by SanskritFritz 07 Jan '16

07 Jan '16

Hi, This bug report was closed with the comment "a bug in DE": https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/47134 My question is: how is that a bug in a DE, when the DE starts a file present in /etc/xdg/autostart ? I honestly thought, that directory serves that exact purpose.

[arch-general] Removal of php-pear, what provides functionality
by David C. Rankin 07 Jan '16

07 Jan '16

All, Reading the notes on archlinux.org, I see a number of the php sub-packages (php-pear, php-mssql, php-ldap, etc.) have been removed. What will provide the continued functionality that those packages provide. Specifically pear is a requirement for eGroupWare. The link to the php 7 migration guide doesn't address anything related to pear itself. Is pear functionality provided by default in php 7? I just want to make sure the next update doesn't take down by office groupware app. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
