[arch-general] Arch linux doesn't recognises micro SD card
by Csányi Pál 27 Feb '15

27 Feb '15

Hi, I'm running Arch linux on my laptop. The laptop has Multi-in-1 card reader. I just bought a micro SD card with an adapter so I can it plug in into this card reader. But the Arch linux system doesn't recognise it so I can't use it. I tried with Gparted too without any success: I get Gparted error: Output/Input error during read on /dev/mmcblk0 whyle on the virtual console I get error messages: mmcblk0: error -84 transferring data, sector 7, nr 1, cmd response 0x900, card status 0x0 Buffer I/O error on dev mmcblk0, logical block 0, async page read However, this same micro SD card has been recognised on MS Windows system. What can I do to solve this problem on my Arch linux system? -- Regards from Pal

Or Xfce4 users, the upcoming xfce4 release is gtk2, and only after that the migration to gtk3 will start. so a gtk2-greeter will be apreciated until xfce drop gtk2, and dont forget that LXDM is now presumably unmaintained or in low maintainance since they migrate to QT > >If there aren't any objections by the end of the week, I'll proceed with my >proposal. > Me >Cheers, -- *Pablo Lezaeta*

[arch-general] LightDM GTK+ Greeter 2.0.0
by Maxime Gauduin 25 Feb '15

25 Feb '15

Hi all, Version 2.0.0 of the LightDM GTK greeter was released about week ago. This release drops GTK2 support. Therefore I propose to rename the current "lightdm-gtk3-greeter" into "lightdm-gtk-greeter" and drop the legacy "lightdm-gtk2-greeter" to AUR. I could keep "lightdm-gtk2-greeter" around for a while in [community] if some people want me to (I'm thinking people using MATE for example, but it's going towards GTK3 anyway), but keep in mind that you can use LXDM instead if you really need a GTK2 display manager. If there aren't any objections by the end of the week, I'll proceed with my proposal. Cheers, -- Maxime

[arch-general] filesystem update
by Simon Hanna 24 Feb '15

24 Feb '15

Hi, the latest filesystem package now owns /home my /home used to be a symlink to some other location, so the upgrade failed. I "fixed" it for now by just linking my home folder into /home (since I'm running a single user setup it's fine) However I'm curious whether the directory should be left as it is, or if it's "allowed to play with" cheers

[arch-general] Automatizing makepkg
by Neven Sajko 22 Feb '15

22 Feb '15

Does somebody know of a tool which would rebuild a package and its dependencies using makepkg and official PKGBUILDs from SVN? That would be pretty nice when I want debug symbols with packages. Neven

[arch-general] clamd.service very slow
by Viktor Garske 21 Feb '15

21 Feb '15

Hello, I noticed that Clamd service is very slow on my computer. The booting process is very slow, too. When I run "systemd-analyze blame" after booting up I get something like "48.238s clamd.service". Why is clamd.service so slow? How can I increase the speed? Viktor

[arch-general] Severity of Failed checksum for PKGBUILD
by Mark Lee 20 Feb '15

20 Feb '15

Salutations, After trying to build the mpv-0.8.0-1 and finding that the PKGBUILD's checksum was incorrect, I filed a bug report. See <https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/43882?project=5&cat%5B0%5D=33&string=mpv>. I filed it under "critical" since an incorrect checksum means that the package was built from source that doesn't match upstream's source. I was told it's not a critical issue and it was downgraded to medium. I'm wondering why incorrect checksums aren't considered "critical". Regards, Mark

[arch-general] Maybe bug in glibc
by Klaus 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

Hi, my firefox and seamonkey have been segfaulting for a month or so. Running the software with gdb produces the following errors: Firefox: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00007ffff7de6567 in _dl_relocate_object () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 Seamonkey: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00007ffff7de6567 in _dl_relocate_object () from /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 is owned by glibc 2.21-2. I have already tested the laptop ram with memtest86 and I got no errors. Deleting and creating new browser profiles in home does not change anything, too. Does anyone have the same problem?

[arch-general] opendmarc / opendkim - suggestion
by Genes Lists 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

opendkim is in community repo. dmarc and dkim are now in broad use by the major internet mail companies (google, yahoo, microsoft, etc). If a maintainer is willing, it would makes sense to move opendmarc from AUR to community as well. For those who may not know, while dkim cryptographically validates the domain of the sender in email, dmarc takes the next step and validates that the domain in the From: header matches the dkim domain. It's simple but effective way to be comfortable that the sender domain is who it claims to be. Thanks. gene
