29 Jun '14

After the last kernel update, when the mahine is booting, i see some info on scrren, but when the frame buffer starts it became blank. But the system finish to boot, the monitor is on, and i can blindly log in. After i downgraded the kernel package everything worked fine again. Anyone with something like this? It is a bug or something? best regeards, --- Eduardo M. Machado

Help? I tried to downgrade nfs-utils but that did not put things back in a good state.

[arch-general] Docked Lenovo T540p Not Recognizing Dual Monitors
by Jude Lucien 28 Jun '14

28 Jun '14

I unfortunately have a Lenovo T540p laptop and an UltraDock docking station. Plugged into the docking station is a Lenovo monitor via DVI and an Ilyama monitor via VGA. The monitors are not recognised by xrandr as being separate monitors, and the output mirrors each other. The output of xrandr -q: $ xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 4560 x 1620, maximum 32767 x 32767 eDP1 connected 2880x1620+1680+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 193mm 2880x1620 59.96*+ 50.00 2048x1536 60.00 1920x1440 60.00 1856x1392 60.01 1792x1344 60.01 1600x1200 60.00 1400x1050 59.98 1280x1024 60.02 1280x960 60.00 1024x768 60.00 800x600 60.32 56.25 640x480 59.94 VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP2 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 255mm x 255mm 1680x1050 60.00*+ 1024x768 60.00 800x600 60.32 56.25 848x480 60.00 640x480 59.94 HDMI2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) eDP1 is my laptop monitor and DP2 is the Lenovo monitor. Notice the maximum screen size at the top of the output. I notice that I have more screen than I can use - how to set that to actual size as well? But the burning question is how can I get my VGA monitor to be recognised?

[arch-general] Chrooting to tmpfs in init
by Mark Lee 26 Jun '14

26 Jun '14

Salutations, I've been wondering if it's possible to chroot to a tmpfs instead of a partition in init. I'd like to decompress a 7zip root archive into a tmpfs and use that as root. This is different from using aufs2. Any suggestions as how I would go about doing this? Regards, Mark

[arch-general] New mailing list for AUR requests (delete, merge, orphan, ..)
by Florian Pritz 26 Jun '14

26 Jun '14

Hi, As requested by Lukas, I've created a new mailing list for AUR related requests such as deletion, merge or orphan requests. The AUR will soon feature a web interface to create such requests and for history and discussion purposes mails will be sent to this new list. Please start using it for new requests already (maybe wait a couple hours so TUs can subscribe). Discussion about anything apart from such requests should stay on aur-general. You can subscribe here[1]. [1]: https://mailman.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/aur-requests I expect traffic on aur-general to go down quite a lot due to this change, so if you aren't subscribed because of this request traffic feel free to give it another try now.

[arch-general] Why doesn't the evolution package version follow the stable release version from upstream?
by Ralf Mardorf 25 Jun '14

25 Jun '14

Why is the Evolution package in extra evolution 3.12.3-1, https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/evolution/ , when the current stable version from upstream still is 3.12.2?

[arch-general] Module needed by a unit
by Yamakaky 25 Jun '14

25 Jun '14

Hi I'm trying to improve the unit for a fan manager daemon for MacBook Pro. As it is, it's a dependency of multi-user.target. I would like it to start earlier in the boot process, so that he is available with rescue.target, and to refresh the computer during bootup. I tried with DefaultDependencies=false and WantedBy=sysinit.target. The first time it is launched, he failed because the coretemp module isn't loaded. It's then restarted and all is OK, so I think the module is loaded between the two start. I would like it to start succesfully the first time. Do you know how to fix this problem ? I thought about modules-load.d, but a dependency would be better. Thanks [1] https://github.com/dgraziotin/Fan-Control-Daemon/issues/40

[arch-general] NetworkManager messages during bootup
by Yamakaky 25 Jun '14

25 Jun '14

Hi With the 214 systemd update, I now get during boot a lot of messages from NetworkManager. They are at loglevel <info>. I didn't changed journald.conf. I also noticed that an other daemon outputs <info> logs. Did the default log level changed ? How can I change that ? Thanks
