[arch-general] New LXQt (1.0.0) with big text size, affecting other Qt apps
by Javier 12 Nov '21

12 Nov '21

Hello ! I've been using LXQt for some time now (years), and with Today's Arch upgrade, which included a LXQt upgrade 0.17.0-1 -> 1.0.0-1, everything was showing app really big, from LXQt own text (menus, icons, widgets, etc) to other apps. The only work around I found was to reduce the font size on LXQt's preferences, and also on Qterminal, I had to change it from like 18 to 10 on Qterminal, and from 16 to 10 on LXQt itself. I still see other apps bigger than what they used to be, and in particular the apps' toolbar became wider, and the border surrounding Qt apps became wider (to the point it's annoying). It's not about manipulating QT_SCALE_FACTOR + QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR, and the like, because that's to make things bigger when they look way to small and unreadable. Actually by setting QT_SCALE_FACTOR to 1, its the same behavior as not setting any variable, and lower than 0 values don't really work on Qt (I tried, and the results are really weird, non functional to say the least). Have other lxqt users experienced the same on Arch? Would it be an Arch building and packaging issue? Or this is totally an upstream thing? Thanks ! -- Javier

Hi Keith, It worked for me too, although I have no idea of the possible implications either. Thank you very much.

[arch-general] gpg-agent Failed to lookup
by José Vilmar Estácio de Souza 09 Nov '21

Hi all. After recent updates to arch I started having problems with some programs that make use of the gnome-keyring-daemon. When I run for example the command 'pass -c git-azure', the command takes about 15 seconds to ask for the password and the following messages appear in the log: Nov 09 11:13:26 jveii gpg-agent[124433]: Failed to lookup password for key n/1128A1F67CEF113D23CE021A5502F13DEE17610C with secret service: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.secrets: Timeout was reached Nov 09 11:13:01 jveii gnome-keyring-d[124438]: Couldn't connect to session bus: Cannot spawn a message bus when setuid Nov 09 11:13:01 jveii gnome-keyring-daemon[124438]: Couldn't connect to session bus: Cannot spawn a message bus when setuid Nov 09 11:13:01 jveii /usr/lib/gdm-x-session[124438]: SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/run/user/1000/keyring/sshNov 09 11:13:01 jveii gnome-keyring-daemon[783]: couldn't connect to dbus session bus: Cannot spawn a message bus when setuid Nov 09 11:13:01 jveii /usr/lib/gdm-x-session[795]: dbus-daemon[795]: [session uid=1000 pid=795] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.secrets' requested by ':1.1451' (uid=1000 pid=124433 comm="/usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2 --display :0 ") I'm also having issues with other applications like vpn connections and chromium is taking a while to display the first page once it starts up. Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong? Thank you very much in advance.

[arch-general] Really about tty !
by Philippe Delavalade 09 Nov '21

09 Nov '21

Hi. By default, six ttys are defined but I would have more ; in distros with sysv there was an /etc/inttab file defining consoles and it was simple to define more. I didn't find info in the wiki ; I pretty sure my method to search is bad but... Regards. -- Philippe

[arch-general] Users in mariadb
by Philippe Delavalade 09 Nov '21

09 Nov '21

Hello dear list. I had a look to the mysql.user table and found four users at localhost ; two of them seem odd to me : 1 mariadb.sys with no password 2 mysql with the password 'invalid'. I guess I can delete user 'mysql'@'localhost' but what about 'mariadb.sys'@'localhost' ? In the slackware box, those users don't exist. Thanks for advise. Regards. -- Philippe

[arch-general] About tty
by Philippe Delavalade 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

Hi list. I'm new with archlinux and especially systemd. I'm using linux since around twenty years, so i'm not realy newbie but... I have many questions but I'll ask one by one. I read wiki about systemctl and I'm not sure to have understood everything :-( For instance, to have a daemon at boottime, I have tried : systemctl enable --now ... It seems to be OK with ntp, fcron and NetworkManager. But with mariadb I obtain a failure. Job for mariadb.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status mariadb.service" and "journalctl -xeu mariadb.service" for details. I tried systemctl status mariadb and obtained × mariadb.service - MariaDB 10.6.4 database server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/mariadb.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2021-11-08 18:03:16 CET; 1min 47s ago Docs: man:mariadbd(8) https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/systemd/ Process: 515 ExecStartPre=/bin/sh -c systemctl unset-environment _WSREP_START_POSITION (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 516 ExecStartPre=/bin/sh -c [ ! -e /usr/bin/galera_recovery ] && VAR= || VAR=`cd /usr/bin/..; /usr/bin/galera_recovery`; [ $? -eq 0 ] && systemctl set-environment _WSREP_START_POSITION=$VAR || exit 1 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 524 ExecStart=/usr/bin/mariadbd $MYSQLD_OPTS $_WSREP_NEW_CLUSTER $_WSREP_START_POSITION (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 524 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Status: "MariaDB server is down" CPU: 95ms nov. 08 18:03:15 messier31 mariadbd[524]: 2021-11-08 18:03:15 0 [Note] InnoDB: Buffer pool(s) load completed at 211108 18:03:15 nov. 08 18:03:15 messier31 mariadbd[524]: 2021-11-08 18:03:15 0 [ERROR] Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.servers' doesn't exist nov. 08 18:03:15 messier31 mariadbd[524]: 2021-11-08 18:03:15 0 [Note] Server socket created on IP: '0.0.0.0'. nov. 08 18:03:15 messier31 mariadbd[524]: 2021-11-08 18:03:15 0 [Note] Server socket created on IP: '::'. nov. 08 18:03:15 messier31 mariadbd[524]: 2021-11-08 18:03:15 0 [ERROR] Fatal error: Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.db' doesn't exist nov. 08 18:03:15 messier31 mariadbd[524]: 2021-11-08 18:03:15 0 [ERROR] Aborting nov. 08 18:03:16 messier31 mariadbd[524]: Warning: Memory not freed: 280 nov. 08 18:03:16 messier31 systemd[1]: mariadb.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE nov. 08 18:03:16 messier31 systemd[1]: mariadb.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. nov. 08 18:03:16 messier31 systemd[1]: Failed to start MariaDB 10.6.4 database server.

[arch-general] DST-related log messages?
by David Rosenstrauch 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

We switched from Daylight Savings back to Standard time in my locale last night. (EDT -> EST) My system did seem to update, as it has the correct time. However, I was looking through the logs to see if it wrote any messages regarding the time changing, but didn't see any. I also don't see any record of where the time got rolled back. (i.e., 03.00 -> 02.00) Anyone know what (if anything) gets written to the logs that would show this change? Thanks, DR

[arch-general] [arch-gen] Qt wayland DEs?
by Javier 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

I'm currently using LXQt + KWin. LXQt is not landing in Wayland any time soon. There's no hurry, but I would like to know about other non plasma Qt DEs working on Wayland. I'm aware on Liri, however I don't know how light it is compared to LXQt + K Win, or Plasma itself, and also how usable/stable it is. One concern is performance, responsiveness, and resources usage, given it's not exactly based on Qt, but rather QML instead. I read about another Qt DE working on Wayland, paperDE, however it uses Wayfire instead of KWin, and I'd prefer using KWin and compositor, but there's currently no DE offering such combination, except by Plasma, or so it seems... Again, I'd like to know how usable/stable it is, how light it is, and how does it compare to LXQt (Xorg it'll be, given its lack of Wayland support), and how it compares in terms of performance, responsiveness and resources. Liri, by being the 1st Qt DE, has the most amount of time dealing with Wayland, it should be quiet usable/stable, compared to the newcomers, but that might only be a bad supposition. Is there any other DE I might be missing, hopefully using KWin and oriented toward being as light as it could be? BTW, just in case that counts, I only planning to be able to use pipewire for screen/desktop sharing, and not for audio at all, since I prefer plain alsa, so I don't want a strict requirement for pipewire audio support. Thanks a lot ! -- Javier
