[arch-general] retext in aur is broken?
by mudongliang 07 Oct '15

07 Oct '15

I installed retext in the aur, but the retext seems broken. $ retext Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/retext", line 22, in <module> from ReText import datadirs, globalSettings, app_version File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/ReText/__init__.py", line 17, in <module> import markups ImportError: No module named 'markups' But I found python-markups package installed in my system which provides this module. What's wrong with it? - mudongliang

[arch-general] installing
by Bill Cunningham 06 Oct '15

Looks like a nice OS. I am running fedora. I have the tarball and I'm having a little trouble. A directory called "root.x86_64" is created. Do I want an ISO for a first time install? Or is the tarball complete and OK? Bill

[arch-general] Mkvtoolnix-gui/cli
by Vladimir Nikšić 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

Hi. After the latest "pacman -Syu" I'm having a weird issue, I've upgraded the mkvtoolnix package, and I seem to have lost the "mmg" program. This was a gui for mkvmerge basically but with a nice featureset and I was using it heavily for editing home videos I'm making with my smartphone and other stuff. Looking over the official site, mmg seems to be active still, while it's totally missing from the arch packages. I've tried downgrading the package from the cached packages, but I'm getting weird runtime errors, probably depending on a different library: Warning: Mismatch between the program and library build versions detected. The library used 3.0 (wchar_t,compiler with C++ ABI 1008,wx containers,compatible with 2.8), and your program used 3.0 (wchar_t,compiler with C++ ABI 1009,wx containers,compatible with 2.8). And when merging files, I'm getting errors about timestamp mismatches among the mkv files, although I've not changed the way I'm encoding the videos, this might be related. I'm hoping it was simply missed from packaging. I'll compile the program myself if needed, but maybe it's an oversight. Any info is welcome. Thanks! :)

[arch-general] Manual startup of systemd/user
by Zorro 02 Oct '15

02 Oct '15

Hello, On my arch linux computer I have a vncserver running. I can connect to my arch linux system with vnc. Because the vnc user is not authenticated against PAM a systemd/user instance is not started for user vnc. And I would like to have a systemd/user instance for user vnc running because for instance pulseaudio depends on it. Is it possible to start manually an instance of systemd/user for user vnc? Is /'loginctl/ enable-linger vnc' the right way to start systemd/user for user vnc or is there another way? Kind regards, Harm-Jan Zwinderman

[arch-general] AFS home drive under GNOME no longer working
by Patrick Helfenstein 02 Oct '15

02 Oct '15

I asked this question in the forum as well, but got no answers. Hoping to have better luck here. I use my asf drive as home directory at work. So far this has worked fine, but something broke some time ago. Gnome-terminal acts like I don't have any valid tickets and denies access to my files. klist shows that I obtained the correct tickets (kerberos and afs) and when I switch to console, everything works absolutely fine. Running 'tokens' in the console lists my afs ticket, but the same command run from gnome-terminal acts as if there was no ticket. Very strange. I first thought it was a kernel issue, so I downgraded the kernel to a known working version and reinstalled openafs and openafs-modules-dkms from aur. No change, and why should it since it was always running outside of gnome. Oh, and I use krb5-auth-dialog for automatic ticket renewal. Very strange issue, I wonder why it doesn't work... Any ideas?
