[arch-general] KVM troubles
by Luna Moonbright 29 Nov '15

29 Nov '15

Does anyone here have experience troubleshooting KVM installs in arch? I am using virsh and virt-manager, the VM seems to successfully boot, but the virtualization window is only showing a black screen with a cursor in the top left of the window. (on the host) journelctl -xe only shows one related error: "libvirtd[298]: this function is not supported by the connection driver: virConnectGetCPUModuleNames" If it helps: the ISO I am trying to boot from is the live disk that comes with "Hacking: The Art of Exploitation" Thanks in advance.

[arch-general] systems upgrade from 227-1 to 228-3
by Michael Dahlberg 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

I just upgraded my archlinux system and with it I upgraded systemd from version 227-1 to 228-3. Now when the system reboots I get stuck at a start job running “Create Volatile Files and Directories” and since it looks as if there is no timeout limit my system just sits there trying to run this service. I’ve checked my /var partition and it is mounted with the acl option and it looks as if the /var/log/journal directory does have all attributes. Any suggestions? Thanks. -- Michael Dahlberg

I have resolved it with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2284315&page=2 ------------------ I have posted the complete process that I followed to get it set up earlier on in this thread but I will post it again here for convenience. Here it is: 1. You HAVE to install ubuntu 15.04 64bit. Any other version simply does not work. 2. In the BIOS you have to disable the following: FastBoot, Intel Speedstep, SecureBoot 3. In the BIOS make sure that UEFI is enabled with CSM 4. When starting the Ubuntu installation you have to add the kernel option "libata.force=noncq". This is a MUST! 5. After the installation do a full update on Ubuntu. Then you can remove the kernel option "libata.force=noncq". Your SSD should perform faster now. But SpeedStep is still a problem. I have to keep it off. 6. I even re-enabled Fastboot and Secure in the BIOS and it still runs fine. --------------------- It works!!!

[arch-general] Blank screen in X after updating to latest nvidia and xorg-server
by João Miguel 26 Nov '15

26 Nov '15

Hello, I use a custom kernel and nvidia-dkms, but tested this with the regular kernel and nvidia package, and get precisely the same problem(s). As such, I'm going to try anything with DKMS and the custom kernel, so I don't need to be switching back and forth and rebooting all the time. After updating my system, I get a blank screen when I start the X. Normally (before the update, and in my current state), I see the first few lines of output of startx, the screen turning on and off (because of modesetting), and then my .xinitrc getting executed. However, with the latest Xorg and nVidia versions, I see the first few lines, and then X appears to freeze. I can switch to another tty and check that it executed my .xinitrc and my WM is running, but if I switch back, I just see a frozen image of whatever I was looking at before switching to the terminal running the X. In fact, if when it starts I do <Meta-Shift-Enter>touch x-works<Ctrl-D><Meta-Shift-Q> it does create a file called x-works and exit normally. A log of this is available as Xorg.18.log (attached). I'm not very knowledgeable about the X, but it seems to me it is related to this part of the log: [ 5167.048] (II) modeset(1): using drv /dev/dri/card0 [ 5167.048] (EE) Screen 1 deleted because of no matching config section. [ 5167.048] (II) UnloadModule: "modesetting" while in Xorg.17.log (attached), it does its job. Here's the combinations of up/down-grading I tried after I got the blank screen. The versions I had before the update were 355 and 17 and graphical acceleration did work, but trying now, it doesn't (tried with glxgears). Also, to downgrade xorg-server I also needed to downgrade xf86-input-evdev and xf86-video-intel. I always remembered to recompile the nvidia module with DKMS. Xorg versions 1.17 1.18 nVidia 355 No accel nVidia complaint about X version, crash versions 358 OK Blank screen $ lspci |grep 3D 04:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM108M [GeForce 840M] (rev a2) I have also mangled with nvidia-xconfig, but it only made things that were working not work, or had no visible effect. My xorg.conf is also attached. I'm curious as to why the 358-1.17 combo works, and latest doesn't, and why the 355-1.17 combo used to work, and now works but glxgears doesn't work with it. Thank you in advance for any suggestion, P.S.: Sorry that the attachments are in a tgz, but the original was rejected (over 40K). Also, sorry that I posted this following another thread.

[arch-general] suckless-terminal (st) in community - is there an issue with st-255color terminfo and tmux?
by Oon-Ee Ng 26 Nov '15

26 Nov '15

I'm really glad st is now in community, though I find it slightly odd its orphaned even though it's just been moved. Anyway, on the upgrade my terminal would not start, and I tracked that down to the default config.h setting termname to 'st-256color' Changing that to 'stterm-256color' means it doesn't crash on startup anymore. It's because I start tmux automatically in terminal. The problem with 'st' is that the name is nigh-on un-google-able... anyone else knows about this issue or has hit it before?

[arch-general] Linux still at 4.2, but nvidia and virtualbox compiled for 4.3?
by Sebastiaan Lokhorst 24 Nov '15

24 Nov '15

So I just did an update and got the following messages: (16/24) upgrading nvidia [----------------------------------] 100% cat: /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-4.3-ARCH/version: No such file or directory .... (20/24) upgrading virtualbox-host-modules [----------------------------------] 100% cat: /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-4.3-ARCH/version: No such file or directory It seems like these are looking for Linux 4.3, but the linux package in [core] is still at 4.2. I'm afraid if I'll reboot, there will be problems with the graphics driver. Why wasn't the linux package updated alongside these others? Or am I wrong, and is this harmless?

[arch-general] Problems with movie playback (HTML5)
by Łukasz Michalski 24 Nov '15

24 Nov '15

Hi, After recent update I have problems in HTML5 movie playback. In Chromium, films on YouTube are buffered but don't want to start at all. Pressing play/pause has no effect. I can manually move playback to different time but this only causes new frame to show without playback. In firefox I can play video, switch on another one but I cannot reload page - firefox freezes completely. System updated with pacman 16.11.2015. Anyone seeing similar things? Regards, Łukasz
