[arch-general] [community] locke.suu.edu mirror missing packages between N and W/Z?
by Ng Oon-Ee 02 Jan '10

02 Jan '10

Hi, just did my update with yaourt. For [community[, it timed out for me from distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr and ftp.sh.cvut.cz, so I got [community] from locke.suu.edu Basically, after that yaourt checked the AUR for existance of all my [community] packages between letters N and W (I don't have any from X to Z so don't know if that's affected). Examples include openntpd, pulseaudio, powertop, pkgtools, reflector, schroot. Just did another resync (-Syy) and distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr works fine for the packages I mention. So its an issue with locke.suu.edu. Oh, btw, I'm on 64-bit.

[arch-general] Kernel panic with kernel26 2.6.32.2-2 from [core]
by Heiko Baums 02 Jan '10

02 Jan '10

Hi, I already filed a bug report but thought it couldn't harm or even be good to post it to the mailing list, too. Since the update to kernel26 2.6.32.2-2 from [core] I can't boot this kernel anymore. I always get a kernel panic with these messages: Failed to execute /init Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.32-ARCH #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff813301c2>] ? panic+0x8a/0x14b [<ffffffff8100a28d>] ? init_post+0xad/0x100 [<ffffffff81502747>] ? kernel_init+0x19d/0x1a8 [<ffffffff8101311a>] ? child_rip+0xa/0x20 [<ffffffff815025aa>] ? kernel_init+0x0/0x1a8 [<ffffffff81013110>] ? child_rip+0x0/0x20 I found out that the reason for this is an outdated package in [core]. I don't know yet which package exactly but I guess it's mkinitcpio. After upgrading the system to [testing] and generating a new kernel26.img the system boots again. So, please, either move the packages currently in [testing] to [core] or move kernel26 2.6.32.2-2 back to [testing]. The first would be the best solution I think. See also my bug report: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/17649 Greetings, Heiko

[arch-general] Gnote cannot run anymore, all of these happen in a sudden.
by LI Ye 01 Jan '10

01 Jan '10

Hi Listmates, Suddenly I met a problem with Gnote 0.7.0-1, it worked after the recent upgrade I think. However, it aborted unexpectly from the panel now, and run it through gnome-terminal gives this: [liye@thinkpad ~]$ gnote glibmm-ERROR **: unhandled exception (type std::exception) in signal handler: what: basic_string::substr aborting... Aborted pkill gnome-panel or re-login gnome didn't help. All other components of my desktop are updated to the latest stable versions. Any idea? Best Regards, -- LI Ye

[arch-general] Kernel 2.6.32 Broken
by Steve Holmes 01 Jan '10

01 Jan '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hey, has anyone been experiencing any problems with the newest kernel26 package from Arch? this would be 2.6.32.2. After upgrading to it, my machine starts to boot but then dies. When I downgrade to kernel26-2.6.31.6, all works fine again. I'm a totally blind guy so haven't had a chance to get anyone to look at the screen for me but one thing sure, no messages get logged to /var/log/syslog or messages. Just thought I would check to see if I'm not alone with these kernel problems. For now, I'm gonna have to downgrade my kernel once again so at least my machine will work again. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFLPARHWSjv55S0LfERA6yWAJ9dPBNCeoiyN8MMfs6GzXiuzhCD+gCgx+n4 RSalNMBb4zFAjag9b4x5arg= =Qozy -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Make sure you have kernel26-headers installed and rebuild using the guest additions from community.

Hi all, after last kernel update my ethernet over firewire doesn't work any more. Module, firewire_net, is correctly loaded and new interface firewire0 shows up. I can ping other hosts but I can not establish any connections (http, irc, anything). Are new firewire drivers complete? Anyone else seeing this? Box in question is x86_64.

[arch-general] What ISO will load a kernel in an AMD K62/450?
by David C. Rankin 28 Dec '09

28 Dec '09

Guys, After the recent discussion about arch working well on old hardware, I decided to dump a suse 10.3 install on an old AMD K6-2/450 and install arch on it. I downloaded the net install iso i686. I knew if it was truly i686 it wouldn't install -- and it didn't. My question is which Arch download, if any, can install on this old hardware. (currently a great little fax server, backup DNS/dhcp box and 40G of storage.) Any help (or the right link) would be appreciated. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] mysqld args
by Trav 27 Dec '09

27 Dec '09

The past few updates i've noticed that $MYSQLD_ARGS specified in /etc/conf.d/mysqld isn't being used on /etc/rc.d/mysqld start.. is this a bug or is it used somewhere else? I've searched the init script and haven't seen any mention of the args at all. I've always just fixed it myself by adding $MYSQLD_ARGS after the --datadir command.
