[arch-general] syslog-ng ignores filter boolean logic
by Leonid Isaev 22 Oct '11

22 Oct '11

Hi, I just updated syslog-ng 3.2 -> 3.3 and noticed that my iptables logs go into every possible logfile, i.e. /var/log/{messages,kernel,iptables}.log. This is despite the fact that syslog-ng.conf contains lines like: filter f_kernel { facility(kern) and not filter(f_iptables); }; I tried modifying the rules in filter f_iptables() and moving this filter before f_kernel and f_messages (by default it is after), but still get firewall logs everywhere :( Does anyone have this problem? Thanks. -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key ID: 164B5A6D Key fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D

[arch-general] problem with qingy - broken after logout
by J. Bakshi 22 Oct '11

22 Oct '11

Dear list, I have come from the debian world. I am a debian user and stick to the light-weight applications since beginning. I have found arch wiki/tutorial etc... are extremely knowledge based.. hence I have joined the list to gain my knowledge and experience and also to get help on some critical issues. I am using quingy as a framebuffer login manager. It runs well. But when I logout from the console; the qingy comes back with a complete broken look.. where no input is possible. qingy has some resolution issue which I have fixed by editing /etc/directfbrc with the following `````````````` mode=1024x768-76 depth=32 `````````````` But still suffering with this broken qingy after logout. Has anyone have any clue to fix it ? Thanks

[arch-general] Samba: Access Denied
by Eric Griffith 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

So I'm trying to figure out why Samba won't allow me to share the folder: /home/admin/data on my home server; but it will share: /home/ just fine. /home/admin/data is chmodd'ed 777 because its gonna be the 'public share' folder with nothing personal in it, the user is admin, the group is users. Whenever I try to access the folder from my laptop TO the server; I get "Access Denied" Relevant SMB.conf section: [Public] path = /home/admin/data/ available= yes browsable = yes public = yes writable = yes create mask = 0777 guest ok = yes [admin@server ~]$ ls -l total 12 drwxrwxrwx 2 admin users 4096 Oct 21 13:09 data drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 21 12:58 ftp drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 21 13:49 http [admin@server ~]$ Just incase this is the issue: the permissions on /home/admin (the admin folder specifically) are [admin@server home]$ ls -l total 4 drwx------ 5 admin users 4096 Oct 21 13:53 admin [admin@server home]$ So could the problem be that /home/admin's permissions wont allow me to share a subfolder, even though the subfolder's permissions are fine? If so; what would be an okay permission setup to use for /home/admin so that I CAN share /home/admin/data, without letting everyone have access to my overall /home? The reason im doing Samba instead of NFS is because there's windows machines on the network as well

[arch-general] netcfg wlan connection renewal
by Philipp 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

Hi there, I use netcfg for my university wlan (eduroam). It works fine for a while but after a couple of minutes I get disconnected and need to reconnect manually. I think that happens pretty regularly, so I assume that some kind of connection renewal doesn't work for some reason. Any idea what could be wrong, how to fix it or how to reconnect automatically? Regards, Philipp

[arch-general] agetty doesn't take effect on keys like M-! or C-?
by 清显 20 Oct '11

20 Oct '11

and any other keys which need to press the Shift as well as Meta or Ctrl at the same time. not sure if that's a problem with agetty, or perhaps some setting problem somewhere else. does anybody knows the reason why this happen, or how to solve that problem? P.S: it's working well when using xterm.

[arch-general] Forums search interval
by Heiko Baums 19 Oct '11

19 Oct '11

In the forums https://bbs.archlinux.org it's only possible to run one search within 60 seconds (1 minute). This is very annoying if someone has a problem, a search term doesn't give a search result, and a new search with a different search term has to be done. So, could this interval, please, considerably be reduced? A suitable interval would be 10 or 15 seconds. There's also a bug report since more than 8 months now: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22739 It would really be nice if this could be fixed soon. I don't need the forums and its search function so many times, but if I need it I need to do more than one search in a short interval. Heiko

[arch-general] Problems with pacman 4.0.0-2
by Timothée Ravier 18 Oct '11

18 Oct '11

Hi, I'm using pacman from testing and I ran into some troubles. I set "SigLevel = Optional TrustAll" in pacman.conf, but I'm still getting a lot of warnings even after I add the keys to the repo. It also takes an ENORMOUS amount of time to do I don't know what right after checking packages integrity, and then fails with : "invalid package or corrupt signature" _without_ telling me which package had a problem. As a workaround, I'm using "SigLevel =Never", but well, this isn't the solution. It "fixes" both the performance issue & the signing (as expected). I tried using an other mirror, hoping that was only a temporary corruption, but this isn't. I attached a sample pacman output log. As for performance concerns, I'm using an intel quad core cpu, with 8Go ram, and pacman doesn't seem to use any ressource at all. It looks like it's the gpg-agent command launched by pacman that takes all this time to complete (and fail in the end ?). I don't have a clue what it is doing, because that's why I used "Optional TrustAll" in the first place. I got three Arch box which are affected by this problem (on different networks, if it matters for gpg-agent). Any ideas are welcome. This could be unrelated to pacman itself. Tim
