[arch-general] libx11/xorgproto dependency
by Piscium 04 Jan '20

04 Jan '20

Hi, I use a customised version of xf86-input-evdev (I tweaked the source code to better support my trackball). This package is now broken as xorgproto used to provide resourceproto and scrnsaverproto but the current version does not provide it anymore. I suppose somebody will fix this broken package at some stage, but in the meantime, what is the advice on this? Should I use xorgproto from AUR instead of the "official" xorgproto if I need to rebuild the package? (It is working fine, I want to know just in case.) ----- $ makepkg -s ==> Making package: xf86-input-evdev 2.10.6-1 (Sat 04 Jan 2020 20:30:46 GMT) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> Installing missing dependencies... error: target not found: resourceproto error: target not found: scrnsaverproto ==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies. ==> Missing dependencies: -> resourceproto -> scrnsaverproto ==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.

[arch-general] community/espeak-ng
by Jude DaShiell 03 Jan '20

03 Jan '20

Does this package need some systemd additions like service files? If not, how can espeak-ng be configured so it starts up whenever a computer is booted? It's got no page in the archwiki and if I can get a replacement of espeak done speech-dispatcher will work with it and if speech-dispatcher works then I can get gnome and orca running too. --

Re: [arch-general] Adding a "posix" metapackage

Hi Santiago, > I'm curious, though, are there any specifics about the providers on > these POSIX tools/libraries/whatnot (i.e., would it be wortwhile > discussing the alternatives?). Is sh being provided by bash(1)? A more POSIX-compliant shell may be better, one that doesn't let lots of bashisms pass without complaint. dash(1)? And dash doesn't have time as a built-in, so we get to pull in an executable for that too. As for SCCS, it's a handy file format. Better in design that RCS's. And used by other tools over the years, e.g. Bitkeeper, so they do linger on. Plus it's a historical file format, just as ncompress was sought to be more POSIX compliant. -- Cheers, Ralph.

[arch-general] Automated check log and block postfix
by siefke_listen＠web.de 02 Jan '20

Hello, happy new year first :) I have questions about postfix and the logfile. I have often player which try using submission which come in log like: Jan 1 11:39:19 ru-mail postfix/submission/smtpd[7463]: connect from unknown[45.143.222.192] Jan 1 11:39:19 ru-mail postfix/submission/smtpd[7463]: disconnect from unknown[45.143.222.192] ehlo=1 auth=0/1 rset=0/1 quit=1 commands=2/4 >From this ip for example cat /var/log/mail.log | grep 45.143.222.192 | wc -l 1471 I have fail2ban installed but there is nothing happen with. Okay is connect and disconnect. No error message. I not understand why is so but is ok. Is there a way to cat this mess and write it automated to iptables? Is there other way to catch it with a tool? Would be great have someone an idea here. Thank you Silvio

[arch-general] Firewire : resume from suspend may fail
by SET 31 Dec '19

31 Dec '19

Hello, Resume from suspend to RAM in KDE fails if no video cam has been used. The camcorder is connected to a firewire card in a PCIE-1 expansion slot. If the camcorder has been used and is connected, the machine resumes rightly to the desktop. When it does not resume, I get a black screen with a blinking cursor, no mouse, no keyboard. Network was available once only to login through SSH. This leaves no choice but a hard reboot. Fortunately, the disk partitions are always clean. After the hard reboot, there's no single error message in /var/ log/{errors,kernel}.log, not even a single resume message from kernel. I've tried, on their own, pcie_hp=nomsi, firewire_ohci.quirks={0x10,0x40} to no avail. Using : kernel 5.3.x and 5.4.x. FireWire (IEEE 1394): VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6306/7/8 [Fire II(M)] IEEE 1394 OHCI Controller (rev 46) I'm about to remove the card once I've downloaded the recordings. I wish of course no being obliged to do that. Does anyone have some advice to fix that ? Thanks.

[arch-general] TP-link tl-wn823n v2.0 wifi dongle not working

[arch-general] broken pipe
by Pascal 23 Dec '19

23 Dec '19

hello, to avoid having to read twice the entire large file, I use the tee tool in this way to calculate two checksums "simultaneously" : file_info(){ echo -n ${1:=/dev/stdin}$'\t' ( tee < "${1}" \ >( md5sum >&3 ) \ >( sha1sum >&3 ) \ >/dev/null ) 3>&1 | tr '\n' '\t' echo } it works perfectly because both tools used, md5sum and sha1sum, consume all the data. on the other hand, the function returns wrong fingerprints if I insert a tool like file : file_info(){ echo -n ${1:=/dev/stdin}$'\t' ( tee < "${1}" \ >( file --mime-type -b -e compress -e tar -e elf - >&3 ) \ >( md5sum >&3 ) \ >( sha1sum >&3 ) \ >/dev/null ) 3>&1 | tr '\n' '\t' echo } it no longer works because the data flow is quickly interrupted by tee which does not consume all the data. do you know a way to get the file type in parallel with the fingerprint ? getting its type is just an example : the idea is to open the file only once... regards, lacsaP.

[arch-general] Got a problem with networking.
by mick howe 23 Dec '19

23 Dec '19

Systems: Arch / xfce on my main system ( I5, 32gb, 2 + 1tb) I3 laptop 12gb, 1TB lenovo B50-70 dual booting, originally win8.1 & arch, when I upgraded to win10 I broke my arch installation and replaced it with kubuntu because I couldn't face over a week of recreating the arch system. (Ever since I started using Linux Red Hat 5.2 I have only ever been able restore the directories and file names, but not the contents. win7 desktop 4gb, 320GB Before upgrading to to win10 networking broke with each update to networking on either arch or windoze usually one system or the other or both were unable to see each other. I was able to fix it, usually it seemed all had to do was touch the samba config file. After I added the win7 box I was able to see all system from each box and sometimes copy files. From the win7 box I could copy files from any box to any box. Since I "updated" win7 to win10 I can see but NOT connect between any of the boxes and have had to resort to sneekernet for file transfers. I have tried numerous times to find the cause and fix it but I'm just going round and round in circles, getting nowhere. Is there anyone out in the ether land who could guide me through this issue?

[arch-general] Removal of libdmx breaks dependency of x11vnc
by Sefa Eyeoglu 20 Dec '19

20 Dec '19

Hey there, I just upgraded and noticed that libdmx was removed. After also uninstalling the package I noticed, that x11vnc was depending on it. Which now means, that you can't install x11vnc now. The removal of this package was discussed in a thread three days ago ("remove obsolete Xorg components ?"). Kind regards, Sefa Eyeoglu Free Software Developer scrumplex.net[1] -------- [1] https://scrumplex.net
