by leoutation＠gmx.fr 29 Jul '19

29 Jul '19

Hi Yesterday, i tested Gnome 3.32 for a friend. I would like to point out that Gnome-control-center crashes. I discovered it was because of Connman running. Solution 1 : stop temporarily Connman Solution 2 : replace Connman with Network-Manager This bug has been reported upstream 6 months ago https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/issues/342 -- Best regards Maderios

[arch-general] Remove Clisp from repository
by Gilgamesh 25 Jul '19

25 Jul '19

Hello, firstly, I don't know where I can send this message, so sorry if this is the wrong place. Clisp (an ANSI Common Lisp interpreter) hadn't received a new release since 2010-07-07 and the last update on the extra repo was on 2019-01-11, so I thought as we have others better options than Clisp, like sbcl on the extra repo, that has an active development, may be better if the Clisp package is removed from the arch repositories.

[arch-general] SQLite Session Extension
by Adam Levy 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

I'm using SQLite extensively for a programming project and today I noticed that sqlite is not built with the Session Extension enabled. https://www.sqlite.org/sessionintro.html https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packa… Interestingly enough, I can use the C interface for sessions without issue. But when I use the sqlite3 CLI the .session command is not available. I went ahead and rebuilt the package with the options mentioned in the first link to enable the sessions extension, and the .session command was then available. I was wondering if this was an extension that is ever likely to be enabled in the build? Also perhaps someone more knowledgeable could explain why the C interface to Sessions work, but it is not available in the CLI interface? Forgive me if this is not the proper channel. I could have messaged the maintainer Andreas Radke directly but wasn't sure of the appropriate convention for such a question. Thank you Adam Levy

[arch-general] Hardware video acceleration
by Ralf Mardorf 22 Jul '19

Hi, when playing youtube videos hardware video acceleration seems to gain absolutely nothing on my machine or I've done something wrong ;). Am I missing something? The percent values playing a youtube video with and without enhanced- h264ify are raw estimated values, based upon my impression, so I consider those values as quasi equal, the minimal difference is neglectable. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/enhanced-h264ify/ https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/enhanced-h264ify/omkfmpieigblcllm… $ firefox --safe-mode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqLEg0MsSMQ & top %Cpu(s): 14 us 22% Web Content 14% firefox $ firefox https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqLEg0MsSMQ & top [x] Block VP8 [x] Block VP9 [x] Block AV1 %Cpu(s): 13 us 20% Web Content 15% firefox $ google-chrome-stable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqLEg0MsSMQ & top [x] Block VP8 [x] Block VP9 [x] Block AV1 %Cpu(s): 8 us 14% chrome 13% chrome [ ] Block VP8 [ ] Block VP9 [ ] Block AV1 %Cpu(s): 11 us 15% chrome 14% chrome $ hwinfo --cpu | grep Model | sort -u; vainfo Model: 6.60.3 "Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU G1840 @ 2.80GHz" vainfo: VA-API version: 1.5 (libva 2.5.0) vainfo: Driver version: Intel i965 driver for Intel(R) Haswell Desktop - 2.3.0 vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints VAProfileMPEG2Simple : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileMPEG2Simple : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileMPEG2Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileMPEG2Main : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264MultiviewHigh : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264MultiviewHigh : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264StereoHigh : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264StereoHigh : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileVC1Simple : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVC1Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVC1Advanced : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileNone : VAEntrypointVideoProc VAProfileJPEGBaseline : VAEntrypointVLD $ uname -rvm; rtirq status 5.2.0-rt1-0-cornflower #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Thu Jul 18 09:49:07 CEST 2019 x86_64 PID CLS RTPRIO NI PRI %CPU STAT COMMAND 206 FF 90 - 130 0.0 S irq/28-xhci_hcd 207 FF 90 - 130 0.0 S irq/16-ehci_hcd 211 FF 89 - 129 0.0 S irq/23-ehci_hcd 336 FF 85 - 125 0.0 S irq/16-snd_hdsp 363 FF 80 - 120 0.0 S irq/16-snd_ice1 126 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/9-acpi 138 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/8-rtc0 205 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/1-i8042 213 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/29-ahci[000 324 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/30-mei_me 325 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/5-parport0 327 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/18-i801_smb 338 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/32-i915 387 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/33-snd_hda_ 559 FF 50 - 90 0.0 S irq/31-enp3s0 9 TS - 0 19 0.4 S ksoftirqd/0 23 TS - 0 19 0.4 S ksoftirqd/1 $ pacman -Q intel-hybrid-codec-driver libva libva-utils intel-hybrid-codec-driver 2.0.0.r169.edead0c-2 libva 2.5.0-1 libva-utils 2.5.0-1 $ pacman -Q firefox google-chrome firefox 68.0.1-2 google-chrome 75.0.3770.142-1 $ pacman -Q x264 x264 2:157.r72db4377-1 Regards, Ralf -- pacman -Q linux{,-rt{-cornflower,-pussytoes,,-securityink}}|cut -d\ -f2 5.2.1.arch1-1 5.2_rt1-0 5.0.21_rt16-1 5.0.19_rt11-1 4.19.50_rt22-0

[arch-general] Proper use of signify in PKGBUILDs
by Stephen Gregoratto 21 Jul '19

21 Jul '19

I recently adopted the openbsd-manpages package[1], and wanted to verify downloaded files using OpenBSD's signify(1) tool. For each release of OpenBSD, you download the base public key[2], the architecture-specific files and the SHA256.sig[3] for those files. The files are verified by running: signify -Cp openbsd-65-base.pub -x SHA256.sig *.tgz The problem is that PKGBUILD thinks that the signify signature is a PGP signature, and tries to verify it against a non-existent file/PGP key. I've worked around this by renaming SHA256.sig to SHA256. Have any other packagers/maintainers experienced this problem, and if so are there any better solutions other than the one I mentioned?

[arch-general] PC build for hardware video acceleration
by L. Rose 19 Jul '19

19 Jul '19

Dear community, I want to build a new CPU-focused Arch Linux PC. No requirements for GPU, except for H.265 4K decode, in decent profiles (whatever that means). What hardware is best supported by libraries like VA-API and VDPAU? Are there other relevant libraries? Which libraries are still maintained and up-to-date, which are open source? I see three options right now: 1. High-end Intel CPU (e.g. i9-9900K) w/ integrated HD 630 GPU, or 2. CPU w/o iGPU (e.g. AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2920X) + dedicated, low-end AMD GPU (e.g. Radeon RX 560) 3. CPU w/o iGPU and low-end NVidia GPU (e.g. GTX 1050) I couldn't find out which setup works best using the wiki and other sources. Maybe anyone could point me to the right direction? What hardware is recommended for good H.265 4K playback on GPU? Thanks in advance, kind regards, L.
