[arch-general] Why do we have scapy and scapy3k and which do we keep?
by David C. Rankin 06 Apr '18

06 Apr '18

Archdevs, Attempting a system update tonight, I was hit with: # pacman -Syu ... looking for conflicting packages... error: unresolvable package conflicts detected error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies) :: scapy3k and scapy are in conflict They both seem to be similar, but which one do we keep? There was never a conflict before. I removed scapy3k, then curiously on one machine, it then proceeded to reinstall, along with scapy. I don't know how either were originally installed, I'd never heard of the package before the conflict popped up. Which should be keep? Or was this a packaging hiccup? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] systemd-suspend hangs from time to time
by Bjoern Franke 02 Apr '18

02 Apr '18

Hi, from time to time, systemd-suspend hangs on my Thinkpad X140e. After starting a suspend (through e.g. closing the lid), the following happens: Mär 21 22:32:56 ostrea systemd[1]: Started Suspend. Mär 21 23:26:07 ostrea systemd[1]: Starting Suspend... Mär 21 23:26:07 ostrea systemd-sleep[11437]: Suspending system... dmesg shows: [40655.526324] PM: suspend entry (deep) [40655.526331] PM: Syncing filesystems ... done. But nothing further happens: JOB UNIT TYPE STATE 68633 systemd-suspend.service start running 68632 suspend.target start waiting After "sudo systemctl restart systemd-suspend" the laptop suspends, but I have no clue why it fails in the first place. I've searched around and found something regarding asynchronous pm, but that did not help. Kind regards Bjoern

[arch-general] mesa-18.0.0 (currently in [testing]) graphics corruption?
by Oon-Ee Ng 29 Mar '18

29 Mar '18

Any other [testing] users getting severe graphics corruption on mesa-18.0.0? I'm on Intel graphics. Bug report already made https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/58012 but I'm worried this is something unique to my system (unlikely maintainer of mesa would NOT have noticed the symptoms I'm getting...)

[arch-general] Wireless hardware inconsistent behaviour
by ashwin＠flatty.co 28 Mar '18

28 Mar '18

Hey everyone, I am running Manjaro Linux on a Dell Inspiron 5370. I always have low wifi signal strength and connecting to new networks is almost always a pain. The network manager applet is forever frozen and nmtui keeps dropping network connects. Is there a way I can debug this or look at solving the problem for good? I tried all options in the networking page on the archlinux wiki but none of them seem to properly solve the problem for me. Warm Regards, Ashwin.

[arch-general] Curious about arch repository policy
by Sudarshan Kakoty 27 Mar '18

27 Mar '18

Hello... I was reading "Arch Wiki" and felt curious about that difference between extra and community repo. Some packages, such as "meson" is in the "extra" repo, whereas "ninja" is in "community" repo. The interesting fact is that - is an implicit dependency to "meson". So why that is (ninja) in the community repo? Also, some critical GNOME specific packages are part of the community repo. Even, some compilers, like Haskell is also part of the community repo. What is the exact difference between extra and community repository? I wonder, Is it really important to have that split? -- Sudarshan Kakoty <skakoty1337(a)yahoo.com>

[arch-general] deluge post-install
by Jude DaShiell 24 Mar '18

24 Mar '18

A warning about a missing service_identity module comes up when deluge-console is used and I am probably not taking all correct steps to install that module to clear this warning. Is this something that can be left alone or has to be left alone? If I found the right module when it installs it doesn't also bring in any dependencies. Should the package build for deluge have this module and dependencies added to it? --

[arch-general] gtk-sharp-2 conflicts with gtk#
by Morgan Adamiec 22 Mar '18

22 Mar '18

I was doing some packing parsing and my parser failed to parse gtk-sharp-2 from extra. Turns out it's because gtk-sharp-2 conflicts with gtk# and my parser refuses to parse it because of man PKGBUILD stating: PKGNAME: Valid characters for members of this array are alphanumerics, and any of the following characters: “@ . _ + -”. Additionally, names are not allowed to start with hyphens or dots. Now that's for pgkname but I assume that would extend to conflicts and provides or am I mistaken? I'm guessing gtk# used to be a package before those rules were defined and has since been removed. If that's the case I realise that the conflict needs to be there for people who still have gtk# installed. But then again you now have a package in your repos have break your own standards. I don't know if its a good idea to remove that conflict, that's up to the devs. Would just like to know what you think before i go and patch the parser to allow '#'.

[arch-general] Re-install of Arch on a larger drive
by Trey Sizemore 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

Hi all- I currently have Arch running on a 250GB drive, and I'm going to be moving to a 500GB drive. I'm looking for 'best practices' when it comes to the migrating as much as possible during the re-install. It appears that I can migrate my installed packages (standard and AUR repos) via: pacman -Qqe > pkglist.txt and then on the new install, I can use the pkglist.txt generated previously to: pacman -S - < pkglist.txt In addition, by backing up and migrating much of my /home partition (to include 'hidden' config files, anything else I could do to make the process fast and as close to the current install as possible? Thanks!
