[arch-general] Qingy on systemd
by David Rosenstrauch 09 Nov '12

09 Nov '12

I recently switched over to systemd, and am trying to get my system set up the way I like under there. I'm trying to set up qingy on systemd right now, but it doesn't seem to be working properly. I followed the instructions here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Qingy#Systemd ... and tried to set up qingy on tty6. But that doesn't seem to work. The systemctl command seems to always try to set up qingy on tty1: [darose@daroselin ~]$ sudo systemctl enable qingy@tty6 ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/qingy@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/qingy(a)tty1.service' In addition, qingy seems to be freezing on me whenever I try to access it on the tty. Anyone have any idea what's going on with this? I didn't see any bug reports about it. Thanks, DR

[arch-general] kernel oops on resume: 3.6.2-1+systemd+kde
by Genes MailLists 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

I have started getting kernel oops yesterday. This started after fully updated testing repo and switch to systemd over last weekend. I'm running kde. Bug is filed as shown below with screenshot which I managed to capture of the OOPS from today's crash. Laptop is sandy bridge i7 (lenovo w520) - details are filed in bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/32014 I added 7 attachments but I cannot see them in the bug report for some reason. (screen shot, lspci, lsmod, /proc/cpuinfo, /proc/iomem, /proc/ioports, scripts/ver_linux) Question: Are the uploaded attachments not visible to me - or do I need to put them on a web server somewhere? Thanks. gene/

[arch-general] USB Flash drive problems
by P .NIKOLIC 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hi . Just purchased several SanDisk 4Gb Cruzer Blade USB flash drives but can not access any of them . the only error report i can find just says An error occurred while accessing `3.7GiB Removable Media`, the system responded: An unspecified error has occurred.: Not Authorized This happens both as user or root , any other non SanDisk flash drive is fine . I was hoping to put music on them for the car as the system incar can only read 4 Gb Max drives these seemed ideal look like they may bee a bummer . Any tips anyone ..

[arch-general] Setting prefered voice for espeakup
by Storm Dragon 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to set the default voice for espeakup? I have enabled the service file, which works great, and I have edited the file in /etc/conf.d/espeakup and added --default-voice=en-us to the args, but it still uses the default (UK) voice. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

[arch-general] gstreamer vs gstreamer0.10
by DG 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

Quick question on the 2 gstreamer packages currently in extra (gstreamer & gstreamer0.10) - is one "preferred" over the other? It looks like gstreamer is v1.0 and is used by gnome3, so is gstreamer0.10 being transitioned out? Do they provide the same functionality? Thanks, Danny G

[arch-general] Forking daemons and systemd
by Leonid Isaev 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

Hi, I was wondering whether there is a guideline regarding using Type=forking daemons in systemd units. For instance, if a daemon supports a cmdline switch to run in foreground isn't it better to use this argument in ExecStart? Personally, I was bitten by this with haveged.service which fails on shutdown and whose unit has Type=forking, but I also noticed that ntpd is allowed to fork. Both of them support foreground operation (haveged -F and ntpd -n respectively)? TIA, -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key: 0x164B5A6D Fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D

[arch-general] Systemd and inactive sessions
by Leonid Isaev 06 Nov '12

06 Nov '12

Hi, I have just noticed that systemd-logind doesn't terminate inactive sessions. For example, when I login, do something, then relogin, there are 2 sessions: $ loginctl SESSION UID USER SEAT 1 1000 lisaev seat0 4 1000 lisaev seat0 However, only session 4 is active. Session 1 is inactive and has state=closing: $ loginctl show-session 1 Id=1 Timestamp=Thu, 2012-11-01 14:42:18 CDT TimestampMonotonic=32156744 DefaultControlGroup=name=systemd:/user/lisaev/1 VTNr=1 TTY=tty1 Remote=no Service=login Leader=327 Audit=1 Type=tty Class=user Active=no State=closing KillProcesses=no IdleHint=yes IdleSinceHint=1351805395173515 IdleSinceHintMonotonic=6489608483 Name=lisaev Is that expected?
