[arch-general] Qt4 documentation?
by Huang KangJing 03 Mar '13

03 Mar '13

Hi, I'm here to ask whether the qt4 documentation package will still be provided officially after such an upgrade from qt4 to qt5. I noticed that after qt5 was supported officially, certain qt packages were replaced by qt5 packages and qt4 packages were introduced, but as qt-doc was replaced by qt5-doc and qt4-doc didn't come up, I wonder whether this one will be supported officially.. Thanks. -- Huang KangJing 2012 Undergraduate, School of Physics,Peking University

Hi All, Is there any impact on the system depending on the order of udev and autedetect? I mean, is the same HOOKS="base autodetect udev ..." than HOOKS="base udev autodetect ..." ? Cheers, Sergi

Looking at the release page generated HTML there is an RSS feed (https://www.archlinux.org/feeds/releases/) but this doesn't seem to be visibly linked from the page. Be nice if the link was added to the current releases section of the page. Thanks, Cody Maloney

01 Mar '13

Hi I'm using btrfs on two LUKS encrypted partitions as root. This is working perfectly with the mkinitcpio hook "encrypt-multi" from the aur package "mkinitcpio-encrypt-multi". Does anybody know if there is a plan to include this functionality in the "encrypt" hook from core/cryptsetup ? regards, Karsten

[arch-general] Can't build virtualbox
by Manuel Reimer 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hello, I have a reproducible problem with virtualbox on my system. To find out which version was the first one that causes those problems for me, I want to build virtualbox on my own and step back until the problem no longer exists. I've checked out the community PKGBUILD's using git. If I try to build virtualbox, it always ends with the following messages: kmk_builtin_rm -f /home/build/git/community/virtualbox/repos/community-x86_64/src/VirtualBox-4.2.6/out/linux.amd64/release/obj/webservice/gsoap_copy_all_ts kmk_builtin_mkdir -p /home/build/git/community/virtualbox/repos/community-x86_64/src/VirtualBox-4.2.6/out/linux.amd64/release/obj/webservice/demo_soapxml /home/build/git/community/virtualbox/repos/community-x86_64/src/VirtualBox-4.2.6/out/linux.amd64/release/obj/webservice/demo_headers /home/build/git/community/virtualbox/repos/community-x86_64/src/VirtualBox-4.2.6/out/linux.amd64/release/obj/webservice/demo_namespacemaps kmk_builtin_mv -f /home/build/git/community/virtualbox/repos/community-x86_64/src/VirtualBox-4.2.6/out/linux.amd64/release/obj/webservice/demo_headers usage: kmk_builtin_mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source target or: kmk_builtin_mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source ... directory or: kmk_builtin_mv --help or: kmk_builtin_mv --version kmk: *** [/home/build/git/community/virtualbox/repos/community-x86_64/src/VirtualBox-4.2.6/out/linux.amd64/release/obj/webservice/gsoap_copy_all_ts] Error 64 kmk: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... info: soapC-1.cpp info: soapC-2.cpp info: soapC-3.cpp info: soapC-4.cpp info: soapC-5.cpp info: soapC-6.cpp info: soapC-7.cpp info: soapC-8.cpp info: soapC-9.cpp info: soapC-10.cpp info: soapC-11.cpp info: soapC-12.cpp info: soapC-13.cpp info: soapC-14.cpp info: soapC-15.cpp info: soapC-16.cpp info: soapC-17.cpp info: soapC-18.cpp info: soapC-19.cpp info: soapC-20.cpp split-soapC: Created 20 files. kmk: *** Exiting with status 2 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

[arch-general] tomoyo-init on linux 3.8.0-2
by Alexander Diana 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Regardless of what I add in kernel flags, tomoyo-init is never loaded. I see no noticable error messages anywhere in the logs. I have confirmed tomoyo-init works when manually loaded, and confirmed that tomoyo itself is working and loaded. Anyone with ideas will be greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance, Alexander Diana <alexander.a.diana(a)gmail.com>

[arch-general] Cannot get GNOME Keyring to work well with lightdm-razor-greeter and razor-qt
by Hexchain Tong 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

Hi everyone, I recently switched to razor-qt desktop and lightdm (for a faster startup), but I can't get gnome-keyring-daemon to run. I've tried https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME_Keyring#Use_Without_GNOME , but ~/.xinitrc doesn't seem to be executed at all. Plus, I don't want to add anything into ~/.bashrc, because I think $SSH_AUTH_SOCK and some relevant variables should just be set in the session. Is there any better idea? Thanks, Hexchain

[arch-general] watchdog 5.13 changes
by Thomas Bächler 27 Feb '13

27 Feb '13

The new watchdog 5.13 package removes the rc.d scripts and conf.d files. There is a systemd service file for watchdog included. There is no service file for wd_keepalive, because the functionality of wd_keepalive is provided by systemd - just uncomment RuntimeWatchdogSec=20 in /etc/systemd/system.conf.
