[arch-general] gpg-agent: SSH_AGENT_FAILURE when adding an ECDSA key
by Magnus Therning 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

According to what I've found gpg-agent's ssh-agent should, as of version 2.0.21, support ECDSA keys, but still I can't add such a key: ~~~~ % ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa_gitlab Enter passphrase for /home/magnus/.ssh/id_ecdsa_gitlab: SSH_AGENT_FAILURE Could not add identity: /home/magnus/.ssh/id_ecdsa_gitlab ~~~~ I've verified that gpg-agent is properly set up by adding an RSA key: ~~~~ % ssh-add .ssh/id_rsa_test Enter passphrase for .ssh/id_rsa_test: Identity added: .ssh/id_rsa_test (.ssh/id_rsa_test) % ssh-add -l 2048 5a:5f:b5:ca:0c:d5:ba:dc:1d:4f:d8:13:5a:91:4e:69 .ssh/id_rsa_test (RSA) ~~~~ Am I doing something wrong here, or should I just use ssh-agent from OpenSSH instead (or stop using ECDSA keys)? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus In a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence. -- The Peter Principle

[arch-general] No libutil.a in core/glibc
by Leonid Isaev 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

Hi, Why is there no static libutil (libutil.a) in the glibc package? The PKGBUILD has "options=(staticlibs)" which is supposed to keep *.a files, and indeed, there are some static libraries like libpthread{,_nonshared}.a. Was static libutil removed by upstream? Thanks, -- Leonid Isaev GPG fingerprints: DA92 034D B4A8 EC51 7EA6 20DF 9291 EE8A 043C B8C4 C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D

[arch-general] No thermal detection on linux 3.15.1-1
by Yamakaky 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

Hi I use a MacBook Pro (beggining on 2011), tlp and mbpfan-git. On 3.14, the fans works OK and tlp-stat -t output something like this : --- TLP 0.5 -------------------------------------------- +++ Temperatures Fan speed = 2001 [/min] Temperature = 50°C Now, on 3.15, the temperature line in tlp-stat isn't present and the fans are at the minimum level (2000/min). It's strange because lm_sensors seems to work : applesmc-isa-0300 Adapter: ISA adapter Exhaust : 1999 RPM (min = 2000 RPM, max = 6200 RPM) TB0T: +39.8°C TB1T: +39.8°C TB2T: +37.8°C TC0C: +62.5°C TC0D: +63.5°C TC0E: +64.2°C TC0F: +64.8°C TC0J: +0.5°C TC0P: +60.5°C TC1C: +61.0°C TC2C: +61.0°C TCGC: +62.0°C TCSA: +63.0°C TCTD: -0.2°C TM0P: +50.0°C TM0S: +62.8°C TMBS: +0.0°C TP0P: +64.5°C TPCD: +74.0°C TW0P: -127.0°C Th1H: +51.2°C Ts0P: +36.0°C Ts0S: +48.5°C coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Physical id 0: +71.0°C (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Core 0: +71.0°C (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Core 1: +65.0°C (high = +86.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) I looked in the kernel changelog, but I can't find anything relevant. Any idea ?

[arch-general] Xsession inconsitencies in login managers
by Damjan Georgievski 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

I've checked xdm, kdm and lightdm only for now, but all use different Xsession scripts to start the user session. Not that they are just different scripts/files, they behave completely differently. Should we strive for some consitency here? -- damjan

[arch-general] Package for "gsmartcontrol" is out of date: upstream moved
by John Lane 18 Jun '14

18 Jun '14

Hopefully this is the correct place to report this. I wanted to build community/gmsartcontrol from source, so got the PKGBUILD via abs. It doesn't work because the upstream has moved from BerliOS to SourceForge due to closure of the BerliOS Developer Portal. I modified the PKGBUILD with the new upstream details and it works fine. I have attached a patch. best wishes, John

[arch-general] Apache (Roundcube) and /tmp
by Ismael Bouya 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

Hi, I tried to install roundcube (in community/), but it fails when it tries to check if he can write in his temp dir, which is a symlink that points to /tmp/roundcube and is rwx for http (and group http too). I have the same problem if I try to put the symlink to /var/tmp/roundcube, but it works with /var/lib/roundcube Note that I update the open_basedir each time, and absolutely no message show in the logs concerning fails to write in /var/tmp or /tmp (only when I forget to change the open_basedir value for php). Any idea where it can come from? Did I miss something in apache (or php?) configuration? Thanks in advance! -- Ismael

[arch-general] inetutils and the 'base' group
by Leonid Isaev 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

Hi, Is there a reason why core/inetutils is in base group, i.e. which packages implicitly rely on it? It was added to base around Aug. 2011 ago, I think because of hostname(1), but shouldn't this functionality be now provided by hostnamectl? Thanks, -- Leonid Isaev GPG fingerprints: DA92 034D B4A8 EC51 7EA6 20DF 9291 EE8A 043C B8C4 C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D

[arch-general] Changing sizes of panes in a vimsplit resets scrolling
by Kyle Terrien 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

Hello Archers, Has anyone else been experiencing an issue where scrolling is reset when changing the size of window splits in Vim? 1. Open a file in Vim that is sufficiently long enough that you need to scroll to view the whole buffer. 2. Scroll to somewhere in the middle of the buffer. 3. Use :split to open another file. You should have two windows open (2nd file on the top pane, and 1st file scrolled to somewhere in the middle on the bottom pane). 4. Use ^W- and/or ^W+ to adjust the relative sizes of the panes. The pane that is unfocused scrolls to the top of the buffer. The quick fix is to toggle focus between the panes, which will cause the scrolling position to reset to normal. I have narrowed this down to gvim/vim-runtime 7.4.307-1 and later. Earlier versions of the package do not have this issue. I am asking here because I am unsure if the issue is package related or upstream. --Kyle

[arch-general] AUR, Unsupported package: Potentially dangerous
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

Hi all, Most of my AUR installs warn me about the installed package being unsupported and potentially dangerous. I guess this is normal, and it's the default behaviour to warn about community package?

[arch-general] NotMuch man pages
by luc.linux＠mailoo.org 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

Hello every one, I use notmuch to handle my mails, but I recently discovered that the man pages aren't present in the notmuch package and there isn't any notmuch-man package. Is that a decision or should I report a bug ? Eventually should I make a notmuch-man package on the AUR ?
