[arch-general] New users not automatically added to 'users' group if -g default group specified?
by David C. Rankin 05 Dec '13

05 Dec '13

All, In the past with arch installs, new users have always been added to the 'users' group. Now that is not being done. If I recall correctly, I have always specified that users are members of a group with the same name as the user by manually creating the group and using the useradd -g <group> option. This was done to keep UID and GID numbers the same across multiple boxes. On older installs all users were made part of the users group: (July 2011 install) [08:31 nirvana:/etc/httpd/conf] # grep users /etc/group users:x:100:david,anna,blah,blah,blah (New install) [08:45 phoinix:/etc] # grep users /etc/group users:x:100: Is this expected behavior, or has something gone wrong with the install? I ask because https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cron#Users_and_autostart suggest that all users should already be members of the 'users' group. I don't mind manually adding the users, but if this is a bug, I'll report it. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] dpms in text mode worked 1st boot, now monitor blanks but won't power off
by David C. Rankin 04 Dec '13

04 Dec '13

Guys, On my 1st boot after install of a new Arch box, the monitor would go to sleep in text mode. (monitor power light goes to yellow indicating sleep and screen goes black (off), not just blank) I thought that was a great trick, since normally, the screen just blanks, but the monitor doesn't really go to sleep (monitor power indicator on). Mouse movement (gpm) or key stroke would wake the monitor up as expected. After configuring the box (nothing related to display) on the next boot, the screen will blank, but not go to sleep (monitor power light remains on and screen goes blank, but not black (off)) I can't figure out what I could have done to alter anything related to the display. (configuration was to mysql, httpd, named, dhcpd, samba, etc....) What controls whether display powers off in text mode and what can I check for in journalctl to help figure this out? -- David C.

[arch-general] apache 2.4
by Caleb Cushing 04 Dec '13

04 Dec '13

I'm just curious as to why we're still on apache-2.2, at one point I think I assumed it was a php thing, but php-5.5 got lauched a bit ago and I can think of at least one php application I tried to run which wouldn't work on it, so that's probably not it. -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.com Calendar: https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=xenoterracide%40gmail.com&ctz=Ame…

[arch-general] [BUG]terminus-font
by Bill kolokithas 03 Dec '13

03 Dec '13

The .install file for the package is wrong, making the font unusable by applications that look on X fontpath. A bug has been opened since 26 May 2013 with more info and a proposed fix. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/35479 I also sent an email to the maintainer and last packager on November 9th, but no reply yet. I'm writing here so maybe more developers see it.
