[arch-general] Reconfiguring grub 2
by Csányi Pál 07 Jul '14

07 Jul '14

Hi, I just reverted my ParabolaGNUlinux into ArchLinux. First, I set the Arch mirror list. Then update the whole system: # pacman -Syyu Then replace the linux-libre kernel with 3.15.3-1-ARCH kernel. Then reboot, but grub 2 want to boot system with linux-libre kernel. I edited the grub entry so I can to boot the system with the new kernel. But, how can I generate the new Grub config? I tried followings: # pacman -S grub # grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg Still, when reboot, I get the Grub menu es it was before, when did using linux-libre kernel. What must I do to solve this problem? -- Regards from Pal

[arch-general] OT: dash - looping through alphabet
by Ralf Mardorf 06 Jul '14

Hi! Sorry, it's OT for this list, but I didn't find an answer in the Internet. What's the syntax for a loop from "a" to "z" in dash? [rocketmouse@archlinux src]$ cat for-bash #!/bin/bash for str in {a..z} ; do printf "$str"; done printf "\n" exit [rocketmouse@archlinux src]$ cat for-dash #!/bin/dash for str in {a..z} ; do printf "$str"; done printf "\n" exit [rocketmouse@archlinux src]$ ./for-bash abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz [rocketmouse@archlinux src]$ ./for-dash {a..z} Regards, Ralf

[arch-general] odd problem with NetworkManager and wired
by Genes Lists 06 Jul '14

06 Jul '14

Haven't plugged an ethernet cable into my laptop for a while - today I did. Wirelss has been working flawlessly. Plugging a wire in however refuses to connect - the error in journal is: .. dhclient[30318]: execve (/usr/lib/networkmanager/nm-dhcp-client.action, ...): No such file or directory Which is correct. In fact the only script in there with dhcp is nm-dhcp-helper. When connected via wifi and checking to see what is running this script is used: ps -eaf | egrep dhcp root 605 555 0 18:53 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dhclient -d -sf /usr/lib/networkmanager/nm-dhcp-helper -pf /var/run/dhclient-wlp3s0.pid -lf /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-226bfd76-9c49-43fd-8dff-bf6e0809313c-wlp3s0.lease -cf /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-wlp3s0.conf wlp3s0 So the problem seems to only happen for the wired interface. I -know- this used to work fine, but unfortunately I have no idea when it stopped. Any suggestions how to get wired working again? I tried on 2 different laptops - same problem. Thanks for any advice. gene

[arch-general] Kernel: include patch for b43?
by Peter Mattern 05 Jul '14

05 Jul '14

Hello. As of Kernel 3.15 a long standing bug in b43 affecting the way it handles rather recent firmware started to become manifest in failure of the driver, see e. g. [0,1]. A patch is available [2] but hasn't made it into 3.15.2. A version of package linux I recompiled applying the patch works flawlessly, imho other workarounds like sticking with 3.14 or using older firmware are less reasonable. So I'd like to ask whether there are any chances to get this patch into the linux package. Attaching a file that can be used in prepare() the usual way (patch -p1 -i "${srcdir}/..."). Regards, Peter Mattern [0] http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/b43-dev/2014-June/003471.html [1] http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=183114 [2] https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git/commit/?id=2fc68…

[arch-general] Trust This Computer?
by Hunter Jozwiak 01 Jul '14

01 Jul '14

Hi all. I've got an iPod touch fifth generation, iOS 7.1, and I am trying to mount it to my Arch Linux box so I can get all the music off it. However, when I connect the cable, I get an alert from the iPod asking if I trust the computer. I tell it trust, and the computer, running Gnome, says the iPod is locked by a passcode, which is not true. I did install libimobiledevice and gvfs and that didn't help. Any help or pointing in the right direction is very much appreciated.
