This is SidPlay's new official repository, which I am now in charge of maintaining: https://bitbucket.org/rmbeer/sidplay/src/master/ This is a fork of SidPlay2, it has been patched and corrected for the latest Archlinux update. Is this the right place to notify the Archlinux community?

[arch-general] VirtualBox 6 on 4.20 - Anybody seeing guests become unresponsive after several hours?
by David C. Rankin 04 Jan '19

04 Jan '19

All, I have a number of virtualbox guests I run from my Arch host and have for a number of years. Since update to Virtualbox 6.0 (using the following AUR packages) https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/virtualbox-bin/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/virtualbox-ext-oracle/ after the guests have been running for several hours, they become totally unresponsive (both Linux and Windows guests). To the point that typing 'ls' results in nothing but echoing back the path where the command lives. $ ls /usr/bin/ls .... Shutting down the desktop and moving back to the normal terminal where login: is display, attempting to login by entering a username and pressing enter does nothing but timeout and spit the uname information back to the screen and redisplay the login prompt. Regardless of guest type, a hard poweroff is required to shutdown, as the guest is otherwise unresponsive. VBoxManage controlvm "name" poweroff is required to actually terminate the guest. Restarting appears to go just fine. Looking at the virtualbox logs, there really isn't anything telling. There are a couple of VBVA and VRDP messages about display size and color depth, but nothing that stands out as an error. Nothing in the journal of the host that points to anything wrong. Has anyone else seen this with VB 6 (either the Arch or AUR packages)? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] syslinux: out of date - or not?
by Bjoern Franke 22 Dec '18

22 Dec '18

Hi, I recently wanted to switch from grub to syslinux, but it could not boot my /boot-partition, because it uses XFS. Unfortunately only syslinux 6.04 supports XFS, while we stick on 6.03. 6.04 is somehow a "testing" version, thought it has been out for 2 years, so I marked 6.03 as "out of date". I'm wondering a bit why we stick on 6.03, even Debian stable[1] has 6.04. BR Bjoern [1]https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=803938

[arch-general] systemctl daemon-reexec - anything else needed after systemd update?
by David C. Rankin 20 Dec '18

20 Dec '18

Archdevs, After todays update to systemd-239.370-1, there was nothing that would have prompted a reboot (like a kernel update), so I simply wanted to restart the daemon. From the systemctl man page, the daemon-reexec option seems like the logical way, "...This command is of little use except for debugging and package upgrades. Sometimes, it might be helpful as a heavy-weight daemon-reload." Is there anything else needed other than daemon-reexec when there is an update to systemd itself? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
