[arch-general] at times when booting system-logind fails and system hangs
by Javier Vasquez 08 May '15

08 May '15

I haven't identified under which circumstances, when booting the system hangs, and the only thing that can be related to that is the message: Failed to start Login Service Of course the recommendation to see the output of: systemctl status systemd-logind.service Is useless when that happens. That because the system hangs. A phisical hard power down is what I've done, and then usually by starting the system again everything works. Has anyone experienced this? Any suggestion? Thanks, -- Javier

[arch-general] PyChess Audio
by Grady Martin 08 May '15

08 May '15

Hello, all. Does anyone play chess? PyChess is great and seems mostly free of bugs now. There is one, glaring exception, but it could be specific to Arch. Sound effects do not play, and the sound files the pychess package installs to /usr/share/pychess/sounds do not appear in the sound selection dialogs (which have strange "untitled filters" applied to them). Should the problem be reported upstream?

[arch-general] core/linux provides kernel*26*, not kernel4
by Roman Rader 03 May '15

Why https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/linux/ package provides kernel26 while current version is 4? Is it a mistake or 26 means something else? Roman

[arch-general] Conky autostart problem
by Francis Gerund 03 May '15

03 May '15

Hello! Using Arch with Gnome, I can start and run Conky manually. But I can't get it to autostart. As stated in the Arch wiki Gnome article, Tweak tool will add autostarts, but there is no entry for Conky in the list of application programs accessed by using the " + " button. It also says to "copy the relevant .desktop file from /usr/share/applications/ to ~/.config/autostart" . . . Well, even after re-installing Conky, ~/.config/autostart is empty, and /usr/share/applications has no entry for Conky. Also, /usr/share/applications does not seem to have anything like a "conky.desktop" file. So, do I need to create a "conky.desktop" file, and if so, how? P.S. I can't seem to find a good answer using a search engine. And I really don't want to (and should not have to) try downgrading (and then upgrading again) Gnome, just to try something obsolete referred to as "gnome-session-properties".

[arch-general] PKGBUILD inheritance
by Roman Rader 02 May '15

02 May '15

Hi I want to make PKGBUILD for kernel in AUR with enabled options that I need. I did #ABSROOT=. abs core/linux fixed config and I'm good, but to keep it updated with core/linux I need to do it all the time (load latest core/linux, fix the config, rebuild). Is there some tools/mechanisms to make a PKGBUILD that will do it automatically? Thanks

[arch-general] Audacity Library Mismatch (Wxgtk2.8)
by Grady Martin 01 May '15

01 May '15

Hi, all. I hope I have reached an acceptable place to bitch about what looks like a packaging error, possibly involving wxgtk2.8. Running audacity prints the following to stderr and quits. Can anyone reproduce this? Warning: Mismatch between the program and library build versions detected. The library used 2.8 (no debug,Unicode,compiler with C++ ABI 1008,wx containers,compatible with 2.6), and your program used 2.8 (no debug,Unicode,compiler with C++ ABI 1002,wx containers,compatible with 2.6).

This seems to be a regression. A downgrade of the two packages gvfs (1.24.1-1 -> 1.22.3-2 ) gvfs-smb (1.24.1-1 -> 1.22.3-2) remedies this problem. I opened a bug report upstream https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748675 and one for arch https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/44785 lev
