[arch-general] immediate sleep after resume
by Genes MailLists 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

This started happening sometime after I switched to systemd (tho I am not finger pointing). Upon resume - the laptop immediately sleeps - the second resume is fine. Not every time either. Fresh boot - sleep - resume cycle seems to work fine. Googling suggested putting this in /etc/systemd/login.conf LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=no However this makes no sense to me - as surely systemd knows the difference between the open and close lid events. The argument made was that there was competition between kde and systemd to sleep/resume and this would keep systemd from doing anything. Anyway - above makes no difference :-) Anyone have any ideas? testing repo fully updated - using kde and systemd. gene/

[arch-general] LUKS, SD card reader and initramfs
by Mauro Santos 15 Nov '12

15 Nov '12

I have a setup where I use LVM on LUKS to encrypt all system partitions (except /boot of course). Currently I have to input the LUKS password every time to unlock the volume, I wanted to be able to get the key from an SD card(1) so I don't have to type the password every single time, but I've run into a problem I haven't been able to solve and I'm out of ideas. Here is what I've done/tried. I have got myself an SD card and confirmed it works fine before trying anything else. I have setup everything according to the wiki to store the key between the MBR and first partition. I've added the cryptkey= entry in the kernel command line. I've added the card reader drivers to the MODULES line in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and rebuilt the initramfs. I've confirmed that the modules have been added. Rebooted to try it out. This is where the problems start, once the drivers for the card reader get loaded I get spammed with messages like: mmcblk0: error -110 transferring data, sector 0, nr 8, cmd response 0x900, card status 0xb00 mmcblk0: error -110 transferring data, sector 1, nr 7, cmd response 0x900, card status 0x0 end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 1 Buffer I/O error on device mmcblk0, logical block 0 This happens even if I don't try to access the card to get the encryption key. The messages only stop after I remove the card. The drivers I have explicitly included in the initramfs are: sdhci-pci and mmc_block. sdhci and mmc_core get pulled as a dependencies of sdhci-pci. I have also tried to include the drivers for the other modules of the card reader, such as memory stick support and firewire since they are all hanging on the same controlled but that didn't make any difference. Since this works fine after the machine has booted I thought I might need to include some udev rule, but grepping through the rules I don't see anything that looks to be needed. The only stuff that comes up is persistent naming link creation and some udisks{,2} stuff that I suppose are meant for icon presentation or something like that. Using 'udevadm monitor' also doesn't show anything that seems to be special, this is what I get when I insert the card: KERNEL[7650.629820] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:07:01.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:b368 (mmc) KERNEL[7650.631034] add /devices/virtual/bdi/179:0 (bdi) UDEV [7650.633731] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:07:01.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:b368 (mmc) KERNEL[7650.634430] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:07:01.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:b368/block/mmcblk0 (block) KERNEL[7650.634494] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:07:01.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:b368/block/mmcblk0/mmcblk0p1 (block) UDEV [7650.635568] add /devices/virtual/bdi/179:0 (bdi) UDEV [7650.747593] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:07:01.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:b368/block/mmcblk0 (block) UDEV [7650.866726] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:07:01.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:b368/block/mmcblk0/mmcblk0p1 (block) The hardware: > lspci -v -s 07:01 07:01.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Ricoh Co Ltd R5C832 IEEE 1394 Controller (rev 05) (prog-if 10 [OHCI]) Subsystem: Packard Bell B.V.

(1) Why SD card? Because my laptop has a card reader and by using it I don't need to occupy a USB port, so when I'm at home I could insert the SD card and forget about it, then when I take the laptop out I don't carry the card with me or I remove it as soon as it isn't needed. -- Mauro Santos

I also use a SD card with the keyfile to unlock / luks volume and works fine, no need to udev rules. My setup also failed at first, I needed to follow the module chain dependency and found a needed module not present in initramfs, just added it and started working like a charm.

Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] [community] migration guide to nymeria
by Karol Blazewicz 14 Nov '12

Link to the arch-dev-public thread: https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2012-November/02403… I just wanted to ask if someone will update the wiki once the move is done. If I understand it correctly, info on e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Trusted_User_Guidelines or https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_Trusted_User_Guidelines#Accessing_… will have to be changed from 'sigurd' to 'nymeria', right?

[arch-general] Forum and wiki registration bug
by Karol Blazewicz 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

The current registration question for the forums is What is the output of "date -u +%W$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'"? and for the wiki What is the output of "date -u +%W`uname`|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'"? so I guess the wiki is csh-friendly. The code breaks in the first week of the year. Old forum thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=132824 New forum thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=152460 Allan suggested a fix, but it hasn't been implemented: https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2011-December/02229… I can open a bug report for this, but there are also ideas how to make it easier for people using other shells or non-Linux systems, e.g.,: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1151464#p1151464 There already is https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/32066 open.

[arch-general] midori-git/webkitgtk3 not using openjdk/icedtea?
by Javier Vasquez 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hi, According to: http://wiki.xfce.org/midori/faq It's reported that midori works with openjdk and icedtea plugin. However for some reason on arch (x86-64) midori-git (gtk3 support) + webkitgtk3 doesn't grab java at all. I don't see java applets loading on web pages requiring them, and java.com doesn't recognize any java installed... Is this just me, or is there anyone working with midori-git + webkitgtk3 and openjdk+icedtea? Thanks, -- Javier.
