[arch-general] PKGBUILD inheritance
by Roman Rader 02 May '15

02 May '15

Hi I want to make PKGBUILD for kernel in AUR with enabled options that I need. I did #ABSROOT=. abs core/linux fixed config and I'm good, but to keep it updated with core/linux I need to do it all the time (load latest core/linux, fix the config, rebuild). Is there some tools/mechanisms to make a PKGBUILD that will do it automatically? Thanks

[arch-general] Audacity Library Mismatch (Wxgtk2.8)
by Grady Martin 01 May '15

01 May '15

Hi, all. I hope I have reached an acceptable place to bitch about what looks like a packaging error, possibly involving wxgtk2.8. Running audacity prints the following to stderr and quits. Can anyone reproduce this? Warning: Mismatch between the program and library build versions detected. The library used 2.8 (no debug,Unicode,compiler with C++ ABI 1008,wx containers,compatible with 2.6), and your program used 2.8 (no debug,Unicode,compiler with C++ ABI 1002,wx containers,compatible with 2.6).

[arch-general] no write access to gvfs-mount with certain applications

This seems to be a regression. A downgrade of the two packages gvfs (1.24.1-1 -> 1.22.3-2 ) gvfs-smb (1.24.1-1 -> 1.22.3-2) remedies this problem. I opened a bug report upstream https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748675 and one for arch https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/44785 lev

[arch-general] Upgrading from linux 4.0.0 to 4.0.1 without reboot
by Chi Hsuan Yen 29 Apr '15

29 Apr '15

Hello Arch users, I just upgraded to linux 4.0.1-1 in [core] from linux 4.0.0-2 in [testing]. In recent days, I've heard of lots of news that since kernel 4.0, no reboot is necessary for upgrading kernel. However, uname still gives me the old kernel version: $ uname -r 4.0.0-2-ARCH Is it necessary to run additional commands for completing kernel upgrading, or do I have to wait for some time? If I have to wait, how long should I wait for? Thanks for any related information or opinions! Best Regards, Yen Chi Hsuan

[arch-general] Tool to create mtree
by Magnus Therning 29 Apr '15

29 Apr '15

When looking at the internals of an Arch package I learned about the mtree format. However, I didn't find any tool to create an mtree file myself. Is it really the case that `makepkg` and `pacman` handle mtree files internally, and that Arch completely lacks a tool for working with mtree files? (Yes, I've already found the AUR package at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mtree/) /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus

[arch-general] Post-packaging modification tool
by Magnus Therning 29 Apr '15

29 Apr '15

I have a large set of already packages (300+) that I'd like to make some minor modifications to the meta data in. Since it takes a few hours to build them all I'd prefer to avoid dong that. So, is there a tool out there that allows me to make some minor changes to the meta data of a package? To be specific, I'd like to add a `provides` to each and every package. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus The right to search for truth implies also a duty; one must not conceal any part of what one has recognized to be true. -- Albert Einstein

[arch-general] Add wpa_supplicant to the Group 'Base'
by H8H 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

Hi I recently installed archlinux over the air (wifi) and after a reboot I realizied sh**t you forgot to install wpa_supplicant to get connect to the world (over wifi / wpa/wpa2) and install more packages. So I had to restart, boot to the live system, mount the whole crypt stuff, (arch-chroot) and install wpa_supplicant. In my opinion wpa_supplicant is an important tool, so is it possible to add it to the group 'base'? Cheers H8H

[arch-general] Random no signal on display-manager init
by Bráulio Bhavamitra 27 Apr '15

27 Apr '15

Hello all, I've installed Arch on a Intel NUC. With sddm or lightdm, most of times the system boots and then the monitor tells 'No signal', then I have to press Control + Alt + F2 and then start sddm or lightdm manually. A few times it boot directly in to the display manager. Anybody got this?? thanks, bráulio -- "Lute pela sua ideologia. Seja um com sua ideologia. Viva pela sua ideologia.
