[arch-general] lvm2-monitor and packagekit seem to give long boot times
by Mike Cloaked 18 Jul '21

18 Jul '21

On a laptop which was previously booting acceptably fast, in recent days it has been booting very slowly. I ran the boot analysis: $ sudo systemd-analyze blame 6.216s packagekit.service 5.664s lvm2-monitor.service 4.532s initrd-switch-root.service 3.694s cups.service 3.016s ldconfig.service 2.744s systemd-logind.service 2.507s systemd-hwdb-update.service Has anyone else seen packagekit and lvm2-monitor services causing slow boot times? There were threads from a couple of years ago where people had problems with lvm2-monitor, and if lvm was not being used, masking that service helped boot times improve (and shutdown times too. So I masked the lvm2-monitor service and the boot time is significantly improved: $ sudo systemd-analyze blame 1.722s cups.service 941ms initrd-switch-root.service 586ms systemd-journal-flush.service 529ms systemd-udevd.service 364ms packagekit.service I also found past threads that suggested that pacman 6 possibly causes some issues with packagekit, so I followed a suggestion to do: $ sudo rm -fr /var/lib/PackageKit/alpm $ sudo systemctl restart packagekit The shutdown time was taking over a minute prior to this, but seems to be improved after cleaning up the packagekit alpm directory. If anyone else has found similar issues and has any workaround to clean things up it would be useful to know about how it was done. These issues have occurred on two old laptops, but not on a relatively new laptop, so possibly some old files from previous versions of packages may have been underlying these issues. Are there any other cleanup suggestions that are needed to completely resolve this slow boot and shutdown issues that anyone is aware of? -- mike c

[arch-general] google-chrome/chromium and youtube "app"?
by Andy Pieters 16 Jul '21

16 Jul '21

Hi all Every so often, when a notification pops up from youtube and I click on it in the plasma's notification area, a separate youtube player window opens. This separate window looks like a chrome app. However, I cannot find this app in my list of chrome apps. No youtube extension or youtube app or similarly named stuff to be found. I find it difficult to get information about in search because of the generic keywords. Anybody know any thing of this and how to disable it? Many thanks Andy "Aethalides" Pieters

[arch-general] Xorg segfault when using electron application and second monitor
by LuKaRo 12 Jul '21

12 Jul '21

Hi everyone, since yesterday's update, my Xorg crashes with a segmentation fault as soon as I start an electron application and have a second monitor activated. This is reproducible, a minimum working example looks like this: $ rocketchat-desktop $ xrandr --output DP-1-1 --auto --above eDP-1 --rotate normal $ rocketchat-desktop --disable-gpu $ rocketchat-desktop Starting rocketchat-desktop before activating the external screen works without error, as does starting rocketchat-desktop without GPU acceleration after activating the external screen. However, as soon as I start rocketchat-desktop normally (e.g. with GPU acceleration) Xorg immediately crashes, tty1 appears for a moment, and then my lightdm-gtk-greeter returns, allowing me to log in again. The same thing happens for example with signal-desktop or element-desktop. An example Xorg.log ends like this: [ 16805.080] (II) modeset(0): Allocate new frame buffer 1920x2160 stride [ 16805.230] (II) NVIDIA(G0): Setting mode "DP-1-1: nvidia-auto-select @1920x1080 +0+0 {AllowGSYNC=Off, ViewPortIn=1920x1080, ViewPortOut=1920x1080+0+0}" [ 16808.392] (EE) [ 16808.392] (EE) Backtrace: [ 16808.392] (EE) 0: /usr/lib/Xorg (xorg_backtrace+0x5b) [0x55c4bab6457b] [ 16808.392] (EE) 1: /usr/lib/Xorg (0x55c4baa1e000+0x1511d5) [0x55c4bab6f1d5] [ 16808.392] (EE) 2: /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0x7f8962b82000+0x3cda0) [0x7f8962bbeda0] [ 16808.392] (EE) 3: /usr/lib/Xorg (0x55c4baa1e000+0xd81f2) [0x55c4baaf61f2] [ 16808.392] (EE) 4: /usr/lib/Xorg (0x55c4baa1e000+0xd9d1c) [0x55c4baaf7d1c] [ 16808.392] (EE) 5: /usr/lib/Xorg (0x55c4baa1e000+0xd8dc6) [0x55c4baaf6dc6] [ 16808.392] (EE) 6: /usr/lib/Xorg (0x55c4baa1e000+0x398ac) [0x55c4baa578ac] [ 16808.392] (EE) 7: /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (__libc_start_main+0xd5) [0x7f8962ba9b25] [ 16808.392] (EE) 8: /usr/lib/Xorg (_start+0x2e) [0x55c4baa57cee] [ 16808.392] (EE) [ 16808.392] (EE) Segmentation fault at address 0x68 [ 16808.393] (EE) Fatal server error: [ 16808.393] (EE) Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault).

[arch-general] Meshroom/OpenEXR: Missing lmath library
by Peter Nabbefeld 11 Jul '21

11 Jul '21

Hello, I want to install "meshroom-git" from the AUR, which fails. After some investigations, I found out, openEXR 3.x is missing the lmath library, which was bundled in versions 2.x (see https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/openexr/blob/master/README.md#…) What will be my best option to get the meshroom build working? Kind regards Peter

[arch-general] IPv6 fast address rotation with systemd-networkd 249rc2-1 in [testing]
by Geert Hendrickx 07 Jul '21

07 Jul '21

Hi I'm having an issue with IPv6 connectivity since systemd-networkd 249rc2-1 from [testing]. I noticed SSH sessions (all IPv6) locking up every few minutes, and after some digging it turns out to be due to very fast IPv6 temporary address rotation, making any long-lived SSH session impossible. I'm using systemd-network for network configuration, and downgrading systemd to 248 and rebooting fixed the issue. After upgrading again, but not rebooting, just restarting systemd-networkd introduces the issue again. So it's clearly a systemd-networkd introduced issue. Anyone else seeing this? Geert
