[arch-general] bind9, apache 2 & sftp management
by Δημήτρης Ζέρβας 09 Sep '12

09 Sep '12

hello, I have a small VPS and I want my few users (~10) to be able to manage their sub/domains. I don't care about the UI, either command line interface (via jailed ssh) or web ui. I would really like to have only SFTP and not any FTP daemon. however, if ftp is so much easier, then ok, ftp daemon...

[arch-general] cups 1.6.1 doesn't detect usb printer
by siriusb＠linuxmail.org 09 Sep '12

09 Sep '12

Hi, I'm stuck with resolving my printer issue. Maybe someone here can help me out. Long story: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=148474 Short version: I reinstalled cups, removed all leftover files in /etc, /usr which wasn't owned any package. Samsung unified driver got replaced with splix-svn 307. Now cups doesn't see my usb printer. On a laptop with clean cups install it works. What interesting that the printer is recognized, lsusb, dmesg shows it. And usb backend called manually detects it, too: |# /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb DEBUG: list_devices DEBUG: libusb_get_device_list=10 DEBUG2: Printer found with device ID: MFG:Samsung;CMD:PCL5E,SPL,FWV,EXT;MDL:SCX-3200 Series;CLS:PRINTER;MODE:SCN;STATUS:BUSY; Device URI: usb://Samsung/SCX-3200%20Series?serial=Z509BFEB902638M&interface=1 direct usb://Samsung/SCX-3200%20Series?serial=Z509BFEB902638M&interface=1 "Samsung SCX-3200 Series" "Samsung SCX-3200 Series" "MFG:Samsung;CMD:PCL5E,SPL,FWV,EXT;MDL:SCX-3200 Series;CLS:PRINTER;MODE:SCN;STATUS:BUSY;" "" root ~ # lpinfo -vl network http network lpd network socket network smb network https network ipp network ipps| Does someone have any clue? Of course I played with usblp module (removed, loaded), no avail. Thanks, Zsolt

[arch-general] is it possible to disable bold(bright) color under console?
by Xeslaro 08 Sep '12

08 Sep '12

when some application write, for example, \e[1;31m msg \e[0m to console, is it possible to just ignore the "1;" which asks to use a bold(bright) color and just write \e[31m msg \e[0m instead? i don't like bold colors, they make eyes suffering. i tried setterm -bold off, which doesn't work; and infocmp to dump the terminfo file, remove the bold entry, use tic to save the setting, which only take effect on applications that use the ncurses library. is there any way to solve this problem?

[arch-general] pavucontrol can't connect to Pulseaudio
by Arno Gaboury 08 Sep '12

08 Sep '12

Dear list, pulseaudio is started with my X session via /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/pulseaudio. [gabx@magnolia:~]$ ps aux | grep pulse gabx 687 0.0 0.0 501896 6652 ? S<l 15:12 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start My issue is with pavucontrol, the GTK volume control tool. When I start pavucontrol, the volume control windows opens but hangs with this message: Establishing connection to Pulse Audio. Please wait... and never open. I see in the log file : [pulseaudio]pid.c : Daemon already running. Why can't pavucontrol access to pulse audio?? This issue didn't appeared when I booted with sysvinit, but it came when using systemd. TY for help

When an update today run ldconfig, I noticed that there's something wrong, caused by an update from yesterday. [root@archlinux spinymouse]# ldconfig ldconfig: /usr/lib32/libfontconfig.so.1 is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start. ldconfig: /usr/lib32/libfontconfig.so.1.6.2 is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start. ldconfig: /usr/lib32/libfontconfig.so is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start.

[arch-general] uswsusp, s2both
by Mathieu R. 07 Sep '12

07 Sep '12

Hello all, i just did install uswsusp from AUR (uswsusp-git), in order to use s2both to provide suspend_hybrid on my laptop. (cause s2both process seem much more useful to me than the default PM_HIBERNATE_DELAY way of doing suspend_hybrid). Technically, everything is working fine with s2both : s2ram and s2disk working well, resume from {RAM,disk} doing ther job. But after resume, (ram or disk), i got very poor performances during maybe 30 second or a minute, with load average getting up to 12 or 15 maybe. resume from ram using s2both is going way slower than regular resume from ram (kernel) those two issues are really annoying, quite nullifying the benefits from s2both over kernel suspend... My question is : is there any configure options somewhere i can have missing, or some way to drastically improve those issues ? thank you all in advance, -- Mathieu R.

[arch-general] fontconfig: 99pdftoopvp.conf
by phani 07 Sep '12

07 Sep '12

i've read in announcements and arch-dev-public that /etc/fonts/conf.d is supposed to contain only links now. being lazy i used "pacman -Sy --force fontconfig" instead of manually deleting the existing files, and i find that the package 99pdftoopvp.conf remains as a real file. i found that it belongs to cups-filters, which installs it into /etc/fonts/conf.d directly, apparently. am i supposed to do anything about this, or just leave it there? -- phani.

[arch-general] how to handle dependency cycle?
by Krzysztof Warzecha 06 Sep '12

06 Sep '12

Hello, I found dependency cycle in extra: libjpeg -> nasm (makedepends) nasm -> ghostscript (makedepends) ghostscript -> libjpg (depends) check_package.py script (one that sends Integrity Check to arch-dev-public) does not treat this as dependency cycle, but clearly I can't build one package without at least one another. Assuming I have no packages from extra, how do I handle this? In this case I could just drop ghostscript from nasm and everything will work (well, I hope so). This is just bug? (I'm trying to write script that could rebuild all packages from scratch) -- Krzysztof Warzecha
