[arch-general] How to change Wayland resolution to 1024x768?
by Felix E. Klee 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

System: VMware Player I added as kernel parameter: drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/1024x768.bin However, when I run `weston-launch`, then I always get an 800x600 desktop.

[arch-general] Cannot use monitor in 1920x1080 anymore
by Alfredo Palhares 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

Hello fellow Arch users, Suddenly I cannot use my external monitor in the 1920x1080 mode, I add the following script that run every time I connect my thinkpad to the base: ``` #!/bin/bash set -x xrandr --output DP2-3 --mode 1920x1080 --right-of eDP1 xset m 1/2 1 ``` And after a update (I think) i can't use this resolution anymore. But when connecting the monitor to the laptop I still have that resolution ``` $ xrandr # Connected to the base Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 2646 x 1024, maximum 32767 x 32767 eDP1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 277mm x 156mm 1366x768 60.00*+ 1024x768 60.00 800x600 60.32 56.25 640x480 59.94 DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP2-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP2-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP2-3 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1024x768 60.00 + 75.08 1280x1024 75.02 60.02 800x600 75.00 60.32 640x480 75.00 60.00 720x400 70.08 HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) ``` ``` $ xrandr # Connected to the laptop VGA Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 2646 x 1024, maximum 32767 x 32767 eDP1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 277mm x 156mm 1366x768 60.00*+ 1024x768 60.00 800x600 60.32 56.25 640x480 59.94 DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP2 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1920x1080 60.00 + 1680x1050 59.95 1280x1024 75.02 60.02 1152x864 75.00 1024x768 75.08 60.00 800x600 75.00 60.32 640x480 75.00 60.00 720x400 70.08 DP2-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP2-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP2-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) ``` Any ideas how can I debug this problem further ? -- Regards, Alfredo Palhares

[arch-general] Little automation to install
by Bráulio Bhavamitra 05 Apr '15

05 Apr '15

Hello all, After some many years, I'm back to ArchLinux. One thing that took me time was to read the manuals and run all the commands for installation. That made me wonder on how automation might help things get easier and faster on install. Could you please tell the current works on that? The result of my work was this script: https://github.com/brauliobo/gitconfig/blob/master/histories/archinstall.sh cheers, bráulio -- "Lute pela sua ideologia. Seja um com sua ideologia. Viva pela sua ideologia. Morra por sua ideologia" P.R. Sarkar EITA - Educação, Informação e Tecnologias para Autogestão http://cirandas.net/brauliobo http://eita.org.br "Paramapurusha é meu pai e Parama Prakriti é minha mãe. O universo é meu lar e todos nós somos cidadãos deste cosmo. Este universo é a imaginação da Mente Macrocósmica, e todas as entidades estão sendo criadas, preservadas e destruídas nas fases de extroversão e introversão do fluxo imaginativo cósmico. No âmbito pessoal, quando uma pessoa imagina algo em sua mente, naquele momento, essa pessoa é a única proprietária daquilo que ela imagina, e ninguém mais. Quando um ser humano criado mentalmente caminha por um milharal também imaginado, a pessoa imaginada não é a propriedade desse milharal, pois ele pertence ao indivíduo que o está imaginando. Este universo foi criado na imaginação de Brahma, a Entidade Suprema, por isso a propriedade deste universo é de Brahma, e não dos microcosmos que também foram criados pela imaginação de Brahma. Nenhuma propriedade deste mundo, mutável ou imutável, pertence a um indivíduo em particular; tudo é o patrimônio comum de todos."

[arch-general] How secure is wifi-menu
by h8h＠dev-nu11.de 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

hi I recently switched to a new laptop and therefore I copied all my wifi-configuration files (/etc/netctl) to the new one. Too bad that the wifi interface has changed (thanks to sysctl) and I wrote a small bash script, which should change the `interface` variable. By the way the script doesn't work very well, but I place it in the same folder with all the wifi-configuration files (/etc/netctl/) and I noticed that the tool `wifi-menu` is executing my script. I don't think this is a big vulnerability nor a bug, but if an attacker has the opportunity to place a bash file there, the system could be damaged by simple executing `wifi-menu`. Yes I know that the folder is not world / user writeable, but maybe some thoughts from the archlinux community? The reason for executing is sourceing all the files in /etc/netctl, maybe this could be improved by using eval and grep, see [1] Cheers Christian Homeyer H8H [1] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=85726

I thought I'd ask here before raising a ticket. Is anyone else seeing this behaviour with git 2.3.4-1: ~~~ [I] % git fetch ssh: Could not resolve hostname build01:: Name or service not known fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. ~~~ Downgrading to 2.3.3-1 "solves" it. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus $my_args = shift; system("gcc $my_args"); print "I prefer C\n"; -- Robert Dieterich's contribution to the 2004 Perl Haiku Contest, Haikus in Perl - 'Dishonerable Mention' winner
