[arch-general] Why chsh behaviour differs from specified in manpage?
by Dmitry S. Kravtsov 25 Apr '12

25 Apr '12

Hi, Today I messed around with zsh and login shells and found a strange thing - when I try to change my own login shell - chsh forbids me to do this: $ chsh -s /bin/bash You may not change the shell for 'kravitz'. $ whoami kravitz So it states, that I can't change login shell for current user, but lets look at manpage: DESCRIPTION The chsh command changes the user login shell. This determines the name of the users initial login command. A normal user may only change the login shell for her own account; the superuser may change the login shell for any account. So this it's either a bug in chsh or in its documentation. Does anyone has the same problem? By the way, is it a typo in manpage: "for her own account"? Who is "her"? if we talk about user, there should be "his". But maybe I'm wrong, since english is definitely not my native language. -- Dmitry S. Kravtsov

[arch-general] howto only rebuild changes from existing source with makechrootpkg?
by David C. Rankin 24 Apr '12

24 Apr '12

Guys, Is it possible to change and rebuild only a part of a large package with makechrootpkg instead of having to build the entire package every time there is a small change? Specifically, I'm working on the kio_sftp part of kdebase. Once I build the entire kdebase package and it is in the chroot, I would like to be able to only rebuild the changes made to the kio_sftp code instead of having to rebuild the entire kdebase package. Something like (makepkg --noextract) so that only the new/changed code is rebuilt from the existing code in ${srcdir}/${pkgname}. It's just the ability to cut down the build time I'm looking for. Is this doable with makechrootpkg? If so, what is the best way? Subpackage? Pass --noextract somehow? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Hello, I found nice workaround, when i try to debug problem with krunner, kscreensaver, etc.. Next steps solve this problem without downgrading to previous version of Qt: 1. Sync abs tree from root 2. Go to /var/abs/extra/kdebase-workspace 3. Edit PKGBUILD and change: -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release to -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug 4. Same for /var/abs/extra/kdelibs 5. Build and install both packages with 'pacman -U' After this trick krunner, kscreensaver, and some other components of KDE start working as expected. -- Best regards, Dmitry Korzhevin Tel: +38 (039) 295-0000 Office Phone: +38 (044) 383-14-12 E-mail: dkorzhevin(a)lsupport.net Jabber ID: dkorzhevin(a)lsupport.net Skype: dkorzhevin URL: http://lsupport.net Linux Support LLC

[arch-general] renice Bash at login
by Leonidas Spyropoulos 24 Apr '12

24 Apr '12

Hi all, I searched around with no help so if you can help out: I am trying to renice the user bash on Login. So every time someone logs through SSH to the server to get a lower priority than normal. Is that possible? Is it a good idea in general? A server usually is not to be used from users, only login sporadic to do updates and various maintenance work Thanks Leonidas -- Caution: breathing may be hazardous to your health. #include <stdio.h> int main(){printf("%s","\x4c\x65\x6f\x6e\x69\x64\x61\x73");}

[arch-general] fortune-mod against fortune-fefe :-)
by FGr 23 Apr '12

23 Apr '12

Hi, the fortune-mod package is orphan <https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/fortune-mod/>, so we could use an alternative fortune program. I suggest using the Fefe's fortune program with my patch <http://fgr.bitbucket.org/im/fortune/index.html>. An archive of fortune cookies is available at <fgr.bitbucket.org/im/fortune/fortune-fefe-fortunes.tar.xz> (just copy all the content within the directory "/usr/share/fortune/". it's like <http://packages.debian.org/sid/fortunes> it includes my fortune files as well). Warning: I don't ROT13 the offensive quotes. There are 27,584 messages (counted by the command: grep -R '^%$' * | wc -l) Regards

[arch-general] virtualbox-modules-lts?
by David Rosenstrauch 22 Apr '12

22 Apr '12

I see there's a virtualbox-modules package, but that's for the mainline (3.2 series) kernel. I don't see a similar package for the LTS (3.0 series) kernel. Does one exist somewhere that I'm missing it? If not, how does one use virtualbox on Arch with the LTS kernel? Do we need to build the kernel module from source by hand? Thanks, DR
