Re: [arch-general] Having trouble understanding UEFI booting
by Maxwell Anselm 27 Aug '15

I also recommend rEFInd for a similar reason. It's much simpler to install than grub and it will probably autodetect both Arch and Windows.

[arch-general] aurweb is not synchronized with AUR4
by Roman Rader 27 Aug '15

27 Aug '15

Noticed that when I update package via git for AUR4 information about package is not updating on aurweb. For example: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vagga-bin AND https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=vagga-bin Version and dependencies in PKGBUILD updated, but web shows old ones. And 'yaourt' also shows old versions, btw.

[arch-general] PHP - libphp5.so, OR php-fpm and mod_proxy_fcgi, OR php5 with apache2-mpm-worker and mod_fcgid
by David C. Rankin 26 Aug '15

26 Aug '15

All, When I last loaded a full server install in 2013, at that time, the use of libphp5.so was discouraged by the wiki, indicating that path was likely to be deprecated. The wiki suggested an alternate install using php-fpm and mod_proxy_fcgi, or php5 with apache2-mpm-worker and mod_fcgid as the preferred approaches for PHP. Fast forward 2-years, a failed disk controller and a new server build in 2015. Configuring PHP, I was surprised to find libphp5.so still an option, much less the first option suggested in the wiki. What happened? What is the proper-suggested PHP configuration? Is libphp5.so still on its way out? (there is no indication this is still the case). I have a relatively lightly used web-server, so the use of mod_mpm_prefork and loss of threading is not an issue with my setup. Why would I choose either php-fpm and mod_proxy_fcgi, or php5 with apache2-mpm-worker and mod_fcgid as an alternative to libphp5.so for my PHP config on Arch? I'm trying to find out what the trade-offs are and whether it would make sense to use one way over another. Ideas? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] LTS Kernels
by bildermejl76＠gmail.com 25 Aug '15

25 Aug '15

Hello, I have been thinking about instslling an LTS kernel, but I don't have the skills to make complete sense of the wiki pages about grub and kernel installation. I have 4.1.15 installed now and not so many GUI programs installed beside Libre Office, web browser... mostly CLI utilities. But I wonder if I can install an LTS kernel in an already existing installation as a fallback? The wiki sounds fairly straight forward, but I get lost where it says "install kernel" without saying how, and to "edit the grub config file" without an explanation, and to "generate the main configuration file". Not sure whether I am getting in way over my head or if it is actually quite simple. That's what I need to know. Thanks, David – Skickat från Mailbox

[arch-general] Process 13696 (systemctl) of user 0 dumped core ??
by David C. Rankin 25 Aug '15

25 Aug '15

All, After bandaiding my server back together by putting a 4-port pci-sata controller in it to work around the failed onboard disk controller, the system is up and running fine. In the BIOS, currently the onboard sata controller is 'Enabled', but each of the sata ports is 'Disabled'. When I check the status of something with systemclt, I get an odd error at the end of each command, eg: [15:47 phoinix:~/.ssh] # sc status smbd ● smbd.service - Samba SMB/CIFS server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/smbd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Sat 2015-08-22 22:57:26 CDT; 1 day 16h ago Main PID: 542 (smbd) CGroup: /system.slice/smbd.service ├─542 /usr/bin/smbd -D └─559 /usr/bin/smbd -D Bus error (core dumped) Looking at the journal and looking at the core dumps, the only other process that is implicated is: Cannot add dependency job for unit cups.socket, ignoring: Unit cups.socket failed to load: No such file or directory. Nothing else is generating a core dump. But each time I check the status of a process, it ends with: Bus error (core dumped) The only other thing I see in the journal that may or may not be related is: Aug 24 14:21:58 phoinix systemd[13187]: pam_unix(systemd-user:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0) Aug 24 14:21:58 phoinix systemd[13187]: Unit type .busname is not supported on this system. I don't know if that's related, but it was the only thing else tangentially related to 'bus'. Looking at the core dump list with 'coredumpctl list' show a handful of files: [17:46 phoinix:~/.ssh] # coredumpctl list TIME PID UID GID SIG PRESENT EXE Mon 2015-04-06 19:00:15 CDT 342 0 0 11 /usr/bin/cupsd Tue 2015-05-26 13:15:01 CDT 23265 0 0 11 /usr/bin/crond Tue 2015-05-26 14:01:01 CDT 23563 0 0 11 /usr/bin/crond Tue 2015-05-26 14:05:01 CDT 23593 0 0 11 /usr/bin/crond Sun 2015-08-23 05:51:43 CDT 3151 0 0 7 * /usr/bin/systemctl Sun 2015-08-23 05:52:16 CDT 3179 0 0 7 * /usr/bin/systemctl Sun 2015-08-23 07:11:33 CDT 3639 0 0 7 * /usr/bin/systemctl Sun 2015-08-23 07:12:31 CDT 3652 0 0 7 * /usr/bin/systemctl Mon 2015-08-24 15:30:11 CDT 13565 0 0 7 * /usr/bin/systemctl Mon 2015-08-24 15:32:05 CDT 13580 0 0 7 * /usr/bin/systemctl Mon 2015-08-24 15:53:37 CDT 13696 0 0 7 * /usr/bin/systemctl Looking at the dumps in gdb shows: [17:47 phoinix:~/.ssh] # coredumpctl gdb 13696 PID: 13696 (systemctl) UID: 0 (root) GID: 0 (root) Signal: 7 (BUS) Timestamp: Mon 2015-08-24 15:53:37 CDT (1h 54min ago) Command Line: systemctl status smbd Executable: /usr/bin/systemctl Control Group: /user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-c2.scope Unit: session-c2.scope Slice: user-1000.slice Session: c2 Owner UID: 1000 (david) Boot ID: aeecdf7479ea4b43aae7f1b9b83b2502 Machine ID: 8d32bcc3152b4a1f87c4d71f948f93fb Hostname: phoinix Coredump: /var/lib/systemd/coredump/core.systemctl.0.aeecdf7479ea4b43aae7f1b9b83b2502.13696.1440449617000000.lz4 Message: Process 13696 (systemctl) of user 0 dumped core. <snip> (gdb) bt #0 0x00007f353981becf in ??
