[arch-general] A small and special Arch Linux distro
by feel.squally 22 Jul '15

22 Jul '15

Hi folks, Few months ago I started an Arch Linux related open source project and, now that is in a stable version and it has got an interesting popularity, I wanted to announce it in the Arch Linux community. The project website is: http://fsquillace.github.io/junest-site/index.html The github page is: https://github.com/fsquillace/junest The JuNest project consists on a tiny distro Arch Linux based that can run upon any already existing GNU/Linux distros as a sandbox. In the sandbox you can install packages and run programs without any root access. There are more functionalities that are documented in the website such as possibilities to run the image on different architectures and so on. The intent of JuNest is, of course, not to substitute Arch Linux but to have an Arch Linux environment everywhere is needed. Any feedback and contribution are really welcome :) Thank you, Filippo

[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…>
