[arch-general] pacman tries to install nvidia drivers?
by John K Pate 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Hello all, I don't have an nvidia graphics card: $ lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) Yet when I try to update (with -Syyu just to be sure), I get: $ sudo pacman -Syyu :: Synchronising package databases... core 37.9K 96.0K/s 00:00:00 [##################################################################] 100% extra 469.7K 855.7K/s 00:00:01 [##################################################################] 100% community 439.4K 3.6M/s 00:00:00 [##################################################################] 100% multilib 25.0K 888.7K/s 00:00:00 [##################################################################] 100% :: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... warning: dependency cycle detected: warning: lib32-gcc-libs will be installed before its gcc-libs-multilib dependency looking for inter-conflicts... :: nvidia-utils and libgl are in conflict. Remove libgl? [y/N] y error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: intel-dri: requires libgl=7.10.2 Why does pacman try to install nvidia-utils for me? I have intel-dri installed and my graphics work fine. I assume the dependency cycle is unrelated...

[arch-general] Reporting for [extra] packages?
by Simon Perry 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Hi, I need to file a bug against unison, which is in the extra repo, and was wondering whether I just put it under "Arch Linux" or perhaps "Community Packages" in the bug tracker? Cheers. P.S. It looks like it was compiled with the testing repo enabled: % unison --help unison: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by unison) -- Simon Perry (aka Pezz)

Tom: I've looked at the examples for netcfg, the netcfg article on the wiki, and the man page and I'm apparently missing something. The example for a wired config shows a single DNS server entry. Does netcfg support multiple DNS server entrys? Myra

Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] Status of kernel 2.6.39?

I created lirc-utils-git [1] in AUR to work around the compile errors. I don't need the main lirc package as my remote is supported in the kernel. To compile I had to remove the lirc_atiusb, lirc_i2c and lirc_wpc8769l drivers. Hope this helps, Mark [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49301

[arch-general] Reboot - Versioned Kernel Installs
by KESHAV P.R. 06 Jun '11

06 Jun '11

Hi all, Since the next kernel will be 3.0 , the kernel26 naming is meaningless from the next kernel. I think this is also a good time to consider implementing versioned kernel install. Agreed arch has a policy of 1 package per software in the official repos. While this attitude is acceptable for Xorg or windows managers or even some low level utilities, problems with those can be corrected if the system can boot to a shell atleast (init 1 or 3). But if the kernel fails to boot and under the assumption that the user hdoes not have any rescue system/distro handy he/she cannot boot into the system (atleast not at that moment). Without a working kernel it is not possible to boot to a shell to run any damn command. While this topic has already been discussed at [1] the discussion was slow and has not lead to any fruitful result. This post is mainly to reach out to a larger audience and decide on how to go about since the upsteam version change provides the right time for Arch to reconsider the same. Another discussion at [2] is about removing the word kernel from the initramfs image. If in case versioned kernel proposal is accepted then the initramfs also (automatically) becomes versioned to match the kernel. Atleast Dave Reisner (falconindy) took the first step by making the change in his geninit program. I understand this might require changes in the way mkinitcpio (or geninit if at all it becomes default) and the way pacman handles different versions of same packages. Please join in.
