[arch-general] Debugging third-party library's segfault if its caused by system update?
by Oon-Ee Ng 16 Jun '15

16 Jun '15

I use the openni2 library to access an Asus Xtion Pro Live camera, installed from the AUR and working fine up till 2+ weeks ago. After a 2 week holiday, the most recent system update caused segfaults to happen within the library (both before and after rebuilding it), without any change to the code calling the library. Same segfault happens with the simple sample applications included in the library (previously running fine). How do I track down the issue? The library's source code is available, but without knowing it well I'm unsure where to even begin. Normally I'd contact the authors, but as this issue was caused (on my system) by a system update I think I'd need to do some tracking down first.

[arch-general] Perl 5.22 in [testing]
by Florian Pritz 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

Hi, Perl 5.22, as any other new perl version, requires all modules that are not purely perl code to be rebuilt. We did that for all packages in our repos. For a list of upstream changes please refer to `man perldelta`. Since users probably installed some from AUR or with CPANPLUS::Dist::Arch, I wrote a script[1] that generates a local rebuild list. To use it you will also need this[2]. Note that: - some modules simply don't support being loaded directly (Irssi, SVN::_Core, Tk::Entry among others) so also run the test (`perl -M$module -e1`) manually before reporting. - site_perl overrides vendor_perl so if you fix an error for a module in site_perl you have to run the script again afterwards. [1] https://git.server-speed.net/users/flo/bin/plain/find-broken-perl-packages.… [2] https://git.server-speed.net/users/flo/bin/plain/module-to-dist.pl Binaries linking with libperl.so will also need to be rebuilt. You can use lddd from devtools to find those. Please report any issue you encounter.

[arch-general] AUR, ABS and outdated/orphaned packages
by Michael Beasley 12 Jun '15

12 Jun '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 I've taken some time to make updated PKGBUILDS and related scripts for a few packages that are marked as "Maintainer: Orphaned" and haven't been updated in a while. How would I go about submitting or getting these updated approved for testing and possibly applying for maintainership? The wiki explicitly states not to upload to the AUR if any version exists in the official package database, so I figured it would be best to ask before I get started off on the wrong foot.

[arch-general] (no subject)
by Francis Gerund 10 Jun '15

Hello! I was investigating this boot up error message : "failed to start verify of integrity of password and group files" It turned out to be due (apparently) to a faulty (re)installation of mariadb, which I seem to have fixed. Fine. But in the process, I came across this in my system: [localuser@localhost ~]$ systemctl status shadow shadow.service - Verify integrity of password and group files Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/shadow.service; static; vendor preset: disabled) Active: inactive (dead) I am having some difficulty trying to find information on this. Bottom line: is this a problem, that I need to fix, or is it something that is normal and can just be ignored?

[arch-general] [mkinitcpio] about explicit module inclusion and purpose of udev hook
by Tom Yan 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

For my current system, I need the following modules (and their dependencies) to boot (mount the real root): ahci, sd_mod, btrfs (which are drivers for the sata controller, disk, and the root filesystem respectively.) If I specify these three in the MODULES array of mkinitcpio.conf, the only hook I need is the base hook. However, if I make use of the block hook and filesystem hook instead of the MODULES array to include the modules I need, I can't boot successfully without the udev hook: Unable to find root device 'UUID=c47a3e43-fed6-4f8a-8e52-71bae7a9f893' So, what is the purpose of the udev hook? What so special is the MODULES array? I even tried to include all modules which are included by the block hook and filesystem hook (with autodetect) explicitly with the MODULES array, to see whether the extra modules were adding factors to cause the failure, yet it still boots fine without the udev hook.

[arch-general] Update issue, mate-settings-daemon-pulseaudio vs mate-settings-daemon
by Ralf Mardorf 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

Hi, earlier today an update asked me to replace mate-settings-daemon-pulseaudio with mate-settings-daemon. After taking a look at the old and new package I replaced it. From an hour ago until now the update asks to replace mate-settings-daemon with mate-settings-daemon-pulseaudio. If I reply with Y I get: error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: mate-control-center: requires mate-settings-daemon>=1.10 :: mate-session-manager: requires mate-settings-daemon>=1.10 If I reply with N I get: there is nothing to do Why does pacman ask me to replace it while there's nothing to do and two other packages need the installed version? Is something wrong on my machine or should I report a bug against a package? $ pacman -Si mate-settings-daemon-pulseaudio mate-settings-daemon Repository : community Name : mate-settings-daemon-pulseaudio Version : 1.8.3-1 Description : The MATE Settings daemon (pulseaudio) Architecture : x86_64 URL : http://mate-desktop.org Licenses : GPL Groups : mate Provides : mate-settings-daemon Depends On : dbus-glib dconf fontconfig gtk2 libcanberra-pulse libmatekbd libnotify libxt mate-desktop nss polkit pulseaudio-alsa Optional Deps : None Conflicts With : mate-settings-daemon-gstreamer mate-media-gstreamer Replaces : mate-settings-daemon Download Size : 471.85 KiB Installed Size : 2863.00 KiB Packager : Martin Wimpress <code(a)flexion.org> Build Date : Mon 16 Mar 2015 04:33:22 PM CET Validated By : MD5 Sum SHA256 Sum Signature Repository : community Name : mate-settings-daemon Version : 1.10.0-1 Description : The MATE Settings daemon (GTK2 version) Architecture : x86_64 URL : http://mate-desktop.org Licenses : GPL Groups : mate Provides : None Depends On : dbus-glib dconf fontconfig gtk2 libcanberra-pulse libmatekbd>=1.10 libmatemixer libnotify libxt mate-desktop>=1.10 nss polkit Optional Deps : None Conflicts With : mate-settings-daemon-gtk3 mate-settings-daemon-gstreamer mate-settings-daemon-pulseaudio Replaces : mate-settings-daemon-gstreamer mate-settings-daemon-pulseaudio Download Size : 462.13 KiB Installed Size : 2836.00 KiB Packager : Martin Wimpress <code(a)flexion.org> Build Date : Sat 09 May 2015 12:37:15 PM CEST Validated By : MD5 Sum SHA256 Sum Signature Too funny, I don't use Mate, I installed it just for testing purpose.

[arch-general] Qt 5 apps disregard cursors settings
by Chris Warrick 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

Hello, I set my system to the Bluecurve cursor scheme in KDE 4 System Settings, I also have /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme pointing to it. However, Qt 5 apps completely ignore all my efforts to make my system look consistently and instead use a custom theme — for example, here’s the “wait” cursor (it’s not even KDE-Classic, the watch is white instead of black). Bluecurve: http://i.imgur.com/cBBlnIg.png Qt 5: http://i.imgur.com/kJz6TVD.png How can I get fix this? -- Chris Warrick <https://chriswarrick.com/> PGP: 5EAAEA16
