Hi! I wanted to run a system update and I've found this warning about kdeedu-kig being newer on my system than in the repos. [ugi@UGI ~]$ LANG=C sudo pacman -Syu :: Synchronizing package databases... core is up to date extra is up to date community is up to date :: Starting full system upgrade... warning: kdeedu-kig: local (4.14.0-1) is newer than extra (4.13.3-2) resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts... Packages (10): akonadi-1.13.0-2 avogadro-1.1.1-3 boost-libs-1.56.0-1 encfs-1.7.4-13 intel-dri-10.2.7-1 libkolabxml-1.0.1-2 libmikmod-3.3.7-1 mesa-10.2.7-1 mesa-libgl-10.2.7-1 ntp-4.2.7.p465-2 Total Download Size: 12.24 MiB Total Installed Size: 56.76 MiB Net Upgrade Size: -0.62 MiB :: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] I have always upgraded that package through the repos (I don't use [testing]), so I've checked this on the package database and in fact, the version in the database is 4.13.3-2, not 4.14.0-1. The package's git, though, shows that the package was updated to 4.14.0-1 on 2014-08-16 ( https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/log/trunk?h=packages/k…) so I really don't understand what's happening here. Any pointers? Eugenio

[arch-general] latex - no beamer classes
by Heiko Becker 06 Sep '14

06 Sep '14

Hello everyone, I'm preparing a latex beamer presentation. Therefore I installed the latex-beamer package from the AUR. But when I try to compile my presentation with \usetheme{CambridgeUs}, I get a message, that the theme cannot be found, although I have it in /usr/share/tex-mf/... and I also did texhash. Can someone help me? Best regards, Heiko

[arch-general] Laptop overheating causes decreased CPU performance until reboot (even after cooling)
by Anish Shankar 04 Sep '14

04 Sep '14

Hi, I have a dell 1564 laptop with an i5-M430 cpu, running arch linux. For a long while now I've had issues with very degraded CPU performance if my cpu temperature is very hot till around ~95 degree Celsius. The problem is that the degraded cpu performance stays inspite of cooling down back to 60 degrees, and even multiple suspend-resume cycles. The only way to reset the same is a reboot. I can't seem to track down the cause of this. The cpu frequency etc. look normal, all 4 vitual-cpu's are active from cpuinfo. top reports nearly 5x increased % cpu usage for process compared to what they normally use. Some simple CPU benchmarks (N-Queens) also take approximately 5 times longer. I'm using kernel: 3.14.6-1-ARCH 64bit Can you suggest some ways to track down this issue? or alternatively a way to reset this so that I don't need to reboot to restore performance. The issue is reproducable (I just need to use the CPU at max, for a while to overheat it), so I can provide any logs etc. if it will help to find the cause. I also previously posted with some more details on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=183236 without any response.

[arch-general] Migrating /var to a different partition
by Sri Krishna 04 Sep '14

04 Sep '14

Hi, I'm doing a clean install of Arch on a new computer, and during the install I'd already set aside 2GiB for the /var partition. Except I forgot to add it to fstab before I exited chroot, and booted into Arch and installed a DE etc. Now two days later I realize that Arch has already created a /var directory on the / partition. How do I migrate /var into the partition I'd originally created for it? Is it as simple as adding a line to fstab and rebooting? Thanks, Krishna

[arch-general] Gnome extensions and the extension site
by Magnus Therning 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

For a while now I get the following message when I visit https://extensions.gnome.org/: We cannot detect a running copy of GNOME on this system, so some parts of the interface may be disabled. See our troubleshooting entry for more information. It was working a few months ago; since this is Arch it was quite a few updates ago ;) Now a couple of the extensions I like are out of date and I'd like to update them. I've looked at the "troubleshooting entry" but nothing there improves the situation. Are others seeing this, or am I alone? Any ideas of what I should check/modify to get it back to a working state? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus What gets measured, gets done. -- Tom Peters

[arch-general] vnstat's pacnew
by Ralf Mardorf 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

$ diff /etc/vnstat.conf /etc/vnstat.conf.pacnew 1c1 < # vnStat 1.11 config file --- > # vnStat 1.12 config file 5c5 < Interface "enp3s0" --- > Interface "eth0" [snip] 93c105 < LogFile "/var/log/vnstat.log" --- > LogFile "/var/log/vnstat/vnstat.log" 96c108 < PidFile "/var/run/vnstat.pid" --- > PidFile "/var/run/vnstat/vnstat.pid" Unlikely that on Arch Linux eth0 is more often used, than enp3s0. Does it makes any sense to place a log file into a directory? Regards, Ralf

[arch-general] Btrfs blues - lack of space
by Savyasachee Jha 31 Aug '14

31 Aug '14

Hello, all The contents of my /etc/fstab are as follows: /dev/sda3 / btrfs rw,relatime,space_cache,autodefrag 0 0 /dev/sda1 /boot ext2 rw,relatime 0 2 /dev/sda5 /home btrfs rw,relatime,space_cache,autodefrag 0 0 Whenever I start my laptop up, /home takes ~17-19 seconds to mount, as is evidenced by this line in the output of systemd-analyze blame: 16.467s home.mount Running df -h on my system, I get: Filesystem Total Used Free Use% Mounted on /dev/sda5 422G 364G 53G 88% /home However, running du -h --summarize /home, I get: 318G /home If I use xdiskusage to see the partition, it shows 46.48G as /home/(permission denied). I tried doing this using sudo, and I still have the same problem. I have neither subvolumes nor any snapshots on this volume. Is there any way of recovering this space? Thank you, Savya -- Savyasachee Jha *"Aerodynamics is for people whodon't know how to build engines."*

[arch-general] [systemd-networkd] only one .link
by Yamakaky 31 Aug '14

31 Aug '14

Hi Once upon a time, it was said that for each interface, only the first .link file matching was taken into account. However, as I was investigating all the new features of the latest release, I couldn't find this affirmation. Was it fixed ? Yamakaky
