[arch-general] sudo 1.8.14.p2-1 breaks gksudo
by Ralf Mardorf 22 Jul '15

22 Jul '15

Hi, after upgrading sudo today, gksudo stopped working. Downgrading sudo fixed the issue. [rocketmouse@archlinux tmp]$ grep sudo /var/log/pacman.log | grep 2015-07-21 [2015-07-21 15:30] [ALPM] upgraded sudo (1.8.14.p1-1 -> 1.8.14.p2-1) [2015-07-21 18:24] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -U sudo-1.8.11.p2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' [2015-07-21 18:24] [ALPM] warning: /etc/sudoers installed as /etc/sudoers.pacnew [2015-07-21 18:24] [ALPM] downgraded sudo (1.8.14.p2-1 -> 1.8.11.p2-1) [2015-07-21 18:58] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -S sudo' [2015-07-21 18:58] [ALPM] warning: /etc/sudoers installed as /etc/sudoers.pacnew [2015-07-21 18:58] [ALPM] upgraded sudo (1.8.11.p2-1 -> 1.8.14.p2-1) [2015-07-21 18:59] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -U sudo-1.8.11.p2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' [2015-07-21 18:59] [ALPM] warning: /etc/sudoers installed as /etc/sudoers.pacnew [2015-07-21 18:59] [ALPM] downgraded sudo (1.8.14.p2-1 -> 1.8.11.p2-1) I need to extract the package of version 1.8.14.p1-1 from a backup, I downgraded to 1.8.11.p2-1, because this was the version provided by the downgrade command, however there wasn't an issue when 1.8.14.p1-1 was installed. Any ideas, before I file a bug report? Regards, Ralf

[arch-general] Arch Linux trademark and docker images
by Christoph Seitz 21 Jul '15

21 Jul '15

Hi there, I just stumbled on the following [1] blog post, which says that shipping ubuntu docker images with modifications (e.g. web app, etc.) might be a violation of trademarks. I was wondering wether this also applies to arch linux, since the trademark policy [2] is derived from ubuntu somehow. Especially if you use aur packages inside the container, the trademark policy insists on a trademark license. I found some packages [3] that include aur packages. The FSF started a dialog with Canonical in order to allow such customization based on ubuntu. [4] Am I right with my assumption, that docker images with aur packages need a trademark license? Would it be a possibility to change the policy in oder to allow such works as docker images with aur packages?

[arch-general] Tuxguitar: documentation and SWT/GTK
by Alan E. Davis 21 Jul '15

21 Jul '15

I have stumbled. Archlinux does almost everything to perfection, so I am concerned I may have erred in the installation of tuxguitar. I am uisng a 64 bit, a relatively mature installation with many packages installed, including many from AUR. Tux guitar works well, so far; however, when trying to access Documentation through "Help>Documentation" Tuxguitar hangs. I've spent some hours researching this problem, and have gotten nowhere. Every google search I make leads one to mention of SWT, and apparently the most up to date 4.2 version, and some issue regarding gtk. The following messages are received: (TuxGuitar:10351): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type 'GtkWi dget' (TuxGuitar:10351): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot add class private field to in valid type '<invalid>' (TuxGuitar:10351): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot add private field to invalid (non-instantiatable) type '<invalid>' (TuxGuitar:10351): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_add_interface_static: assert ion 'G_TYPE_IS_INSTANTIATABLE (instance_type)' failed (TuxGuitar:10351): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type 'GtkBu ildable' (TuxGuitar:10351): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_interface_add_prerequisite: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_INTERFACE (interface_type)' failed (TuxGuitar:10351): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion 'result != 0' failed (TuxGuitar:10351): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_add_interface_static: assert ion 'G_TYPE_IS_INSTANTIATABLE (instance_type)' failed (TuxGuitar:10351): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_register_static: assertion ' parent_type > 0' failed (TuxGuitar:10351): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot add private field to invalid (non-instantiatable) type '<invalid>' Also interesting, in the "About" screen, is the following information: This product include third party libraries: -> SWT (Standard Widget Toolkit): http://www.eclipse.org/swt/ -> iText (Free Java-PDF library): http://www.lowagie.com/iText/ The documentation is pretty good, in general, on the Archlinux Wiki. I could not find much useful information regarding this problem with Tuxguitar with respect to Archlinux, even there. Can someone shed some light, or, better still, suggest a way to solve this problem. I suppose I can try to get a PDF of the docs, and use that.

[arch-general] Linux Kernel capabilities
by arnaud gaboury 17 Jul '15

17 Jul '15

I build my own kernel with ABS. To allow my nspawn container to load kernel modules, I must add this to nspawn unit file: --capability=CAP_SYS_MODULE. Unfortunately, it doesn't work and needed modules are not loaded from container but only from host. I realized there is no #define CAP_SYS_MODULE in /usr/lib/modules/4.1.2-2-ARCH/build/include/linux/capability.h. Is this specific to the arch kernel ? Thank you for hints. -- google.com/+arnaudgabourygabx <https://plus.google.com/_/notifications/emlink?emr=05814804238976922326&emi…>
