Indeed. Is it for consumption of users whose shell you don't know? Is it for scripts, like cron jobs? In the former case, see what is in /etc/shells, and drop a script to /etc/profile.d, one for each shell. But that will be for login shells. In the latter case, I am afraid you need to define it each time... Finally, a bit of a puzzle, what are you going to do when the network goes down, i.e. should the variable be unset or updated?

I have docker services in which I use variables and I want to pass the always updated ip variable. If the network goes, it is not a problem, it will always have the same fixed static ip.

[arch-general] Where can I 'setterm -blank 5 -powerdown 6' as part of the boot process/systemd startup?
by David C. Rankin 01 Jun '18

01 Jun '18

All, /sys/module/kernel/parameters/consoleblank is set to 0 by default in a change that occurred a while back. Since then, the normal text console will no longer blank or powerdown leaving your monitor on 24/7. This affects a couple of Arch servers I have. Since then I have just been turning the monitors off. Where in the boot/systemd startup can I call setterm to re-enable to normal console blank and powerdown? Remotely I can call: # TERM=linux setterm -blank 5 -powerdown 6 >/dev/tty0 </dev/tty0 to enable blank and powerdown post-boot, but I simply want to set this to be the default. Where best to set this? (passing the kernel parameter 'consoleblank=300' does not enable powerdown, so both must be set) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Distribution license of package information on the website?
by Hong Xu 30 May '18

30 May '18

Hi everyone, I'm interested in collecting the metadata of all packages. I intend to do this by crawling the ArchLinux package listing pages (let me know if there is a better way!). However, on the package listing pages [1,2], I do not see any license information regarding how one can use these metadata. Can someone help me here? Thanks!

[arch-general] nftables partially broken after kernel update to 4.16.9
by Bill Sun 30 May '18

30 May '18

Hi all, I just updated one of my computer to 4.16.9. After update, the following nft commands will not work: nft add table ip nat <--- this one works without error nft add chain ip nat prerouting { type nat hook prerouting priority 0 \; } ^ This will give me the following error message: Could not process rule: Device or resource busy. However, the default simple firewall still works. I have another computer that is still on 4.16.8, and the example above works; further, switching back to a lts kernel (4.14.41) also works. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Re: [arch-general] KDE plasma, baloo and UI/video playback freezes

You mailed me privately. Better replying to mailing list since this could be useful to others && please do not top quote. In data domenica 27 maggio 2018 15:27:13 CEST, hai scritto: > Please try different i/o schedulers and maybe ck or zen kernel > for extra BFQ. But first try deadline scheduler. And, like I > suggested, check if there's a difference in process and i/o > priority between Ubuntu and Arch KDE. How can I achieve this? I never changed the default scheduler before. I'd prefer to stay on the default kernel, because I don't have enough knowledge (and time or will) to maintain a custom kernel. The priority of the Baloo scheduler is the same between Debian and derivatives and Arch, as far as I can see. > Also, please consider filing an Arch bug with all relevant info. > Since you tested this with the same kernel version on different > distros, it's likely to be a configuration of the kernel and > applications on each distro. Sure I'll be doing that, but before I need to get more useful data to file a bug. -- fp

[arch-general] Arch, blk-mq and megaraid_sas
by Randy DuCharme 23 May '18

23 May '18

Greetings, I'm still fooling around with this problem (scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=y fails to boot) but made *some* progress. I've found that it takes about 20-25 seconds after it dumps me into an emergency shell for the disk device nodes to show up, but when they do I can mount the root slice to /new_root, exit, and it boots and runs fine with blk-mq enabled. The thing is, it finds my root drive, which is attached to the first SATA port as /dev/sdcX, putting the 2 arrays I have on the controller as /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 and no amount of BIOS fiddling seems to help. (board's an ASUS Crosshair-V Formula-Z) I've even disabled the controller as a boot candidate in CMOS and this behavior still exists. To further confound me; for grins I set up RHEL-7.5 on another drive and for some reason I don't understand, it finds the first SATA drive as /dev/sdaX. Is there some way to force Arch to do the same. I'm rather curious if that'll solve the boot issue I'm experiencing with this system. Many thanks! -- Randall DuCharme (Radio AD5GB) Powered entirely by Open Source software.

[arch-general] X11 keyboard layout and vmware
by Łukasz Michalski 21 May '18

21 May '18

Hi, I have vmware workstation player 14 on Windows10 host. Installed arch from 05.01.2018 iso, lightdm and xfce4 desktop. I added vmware-tools from AUR[1] to have 2D hardware acceleration. Somehow vmware won't let me use polish keyboard in X11 applications. Alt-gr + a (ą) and rest of polish letters works under xfce-terminal but does nothing in geany or other X11 apps. So I copied vmdk to VirtualBox, regenerated kernel image using mkinitcpio -p linux and start VM under VirtualBox. After logging into xfce polish keyboard works as expected - without any configuration changes. Anyone has idea what could be wrong? [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vmware-tools/

[arch-general] Video descriptions with VLC and MiniDLNA/RealMeadia?
by Peter Nabbefeld 20 May '18

20 May '18

Hello, I'd like to see some descriptive text for videos streamed into my LAN by minidlna using a VLC client. I've already set some tags in the mp4 files (including title and comment tags). While the filename is replaced by the title, I cannot see the the provided comment, not even when selecting "information" from the entry's context menu. I don't know, if this is a problem of the server or the client, so I'd be glad if somebody could help me. Kind regards Peter
