[arch-general] Why there is no NetworkManager in ArchISO
by Junayeed Ahnaf 12 Jan '18

Hello, Why is there no NetworkManager in ArchISO? Isn't it widely accepted as the go to method of connecting to internet in Linux? Is there any reason for it not to be default? Thanks J

[arch-general] Is linux extramodules dir named most appropriately?
by Genes Lists 11 Jan '18

11 Jan '18

The linux package creates 2 directories; for example: /usr/lib/modules/4.14.13-1-ARCH /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-4.14-ARCH Question - Why is the latter not named extramodules-4.14.13-1-ARCH? Both are owned by the linux-4.14.13 package - and extramodules-4.14-ARCH will also be owned by the next linux-4.14.14 package and so on. Perhaps it is something to do with 3rd party packages which install things in extramodules? thanks. gene

[arch-general] LXQT: Unable to find an X11 visual which matches EGL config
by Zorro 10 Jan '18

10 Jan '18

A question about Qt/LXQT. When starting LXQT with startlxqt LXQT crashes giving a core dump and showing in the systemd logs the message 'Unable to find an X11 visual which matches EGL config' The setup is connecting from a Windows 10 client to a system running Arch Linux using (x)rdp. On the Arch Linux system lxqt is started from ~/.xinitrc. But a (x)rdp session is not created because of the above error. Changing 'exec startlxqt' into 'exec xterm' in ~/.xinitrc does indeed create a xrdp session but of course with just a xterm window. Calling any Qt program in this terminal window leads to a core dump and that message 'Unable to find an X11 visual which matches EGL config' suggesting it's caused by Qt. Last weekend 6 Januari I did a pacman -Syu and Qt was updated to version 5.10.0. Does anybody have an idea what change in Qt may be causing this error ? Regards, Harm-Jan

[arch-general] php php71 in conflict
by Thomas Langen 10 Jan '18

10 Jan '18

pacman -Syu tells me that php is in conflict with php71, and that php-gd with php71-gd. It asks if php and php-gd should be removed, which looked ok for me to fulfill requirement for nextcloud 12.x. But removing php would break requirements for phplpadmin. What is the best way to do now? Thomas

[arch-general] AL gnustep-core implementation misses gnustep-back
by LoneVVolf 09 Jan '18

09 Jan '18

In the recent repo clean up operation gnustep-back was dropped to AUR. I have maintained the oolite package when it was still in AUR and remember plenty of problems with running oolite against faulty / incomplete gnustep-core implementations . The gnustep upstream website [1] lists gnustep-back as a required package for every gnustep install . The ANNOUNCE file in gnustep-back source code [2] states gnustep-gui & gnustep-back are 2 components of the display system used by gnustep . I feel that removing gnustep-back from gnustep-core group goes against arch linux policy of staying as close to upstream as possible.

Greets! I maintain a vi clone, xvi.sf.net, which fails to build on arch linux. The issue follows: https://github.com/martinwguy/xvi/blob/master/issues/open/arch-linux-build-… A user reports build failure on Arch Linux when the final link fails to find symbols tgoto, BC and UP. This recalls a similar issue on AIX, where one had to link with -lcurses and see also the #ifdef AIX phrases in src/tcap_src.c The AIX box that needed this doesn't have a libtermcap, while I see you do have one. Do you know which termcap that is? GNU or BSD or something else? I also see it's in local/ - does that mean it's been installed locally and is a version different from the Arch repository? (Sorry, I'm not that familiar with Arch linux to understand these things!) http://github.com/martinwguy/xvi/issues/165 Package version: local/termcap 1.3.1-4 multilib/gcc-multilib 7.1.1-4 (multilib-devel) core/binutils 2.28.0-4 (base-devel) core/make 4.2.1-2 (base-devel) core/automake 1.15.1-1 (base-devel) ([0])$>> make (cd src && make -f makefile.pos \ OPTFLAG="-O2 -DHELPFILE=\\\"/usr/share/xvi/xvi.help\\\"" \ xvi) [...] cc -DUNIX -DTERMIOS -DPOSIX -O2 -DHELPFILE=\"/usr/share/xvi/xvi.help\" -o xvi alloc.o altstack.o ascii.o buffers.o cmdline.o cmdmode.o cmdtab.o cursor.o dispmode.o edit.o ex_cmds1.o ex_cmds2.o events.o fileio.o find.o flexbuf.o map.o mark.o misccmds.o mouse.o movement.o normal.o param.o pipe.o preserve.o ptrfunc.o regexp.o screen.o search.o signal.o startup.o status.o tag.o targets.o undo.o update.o version.o vi_cmds.o vi_ops.o virtscr.o windows.o yankput.o unix.o tcapmain.o tcap_scr.o -ltermcap tcap_scr.o: In function `set_scroll_region': tcap_scr.c:(.text+0x148): undefined reference to `tgoto' tcap_scr.o: In function `cm_absolute': tcap_scr.c:(.text+0x4e8): undefined reference to `tgoto' tcap_scr.c:(.text+0x524): undefined reference to `tgoto' tcap_scr.o: In function `scroll_up.part.5': tcap_scr.c:(.text+0x8b9): undefined reference to `tgoto' tcap_scr.o: In function `tty_open': tcap_scr.c:(.text+0xe80): undefined reference to `BC' tcap_scr.c:(.text+0xea6): undefined reference to `UP' tcap_scr.o: In function `scroll_down': tcap_scr.c:(.text+0x1948): undefined reference to `tgoto' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [makefile.pos:65: xvi] Error 1 I don't run AL; can anyone confirm the status of this issue?

[arch-general] xorg-xdm changes $PATH and breaks gdbus-codegen
by Iru Cai 05 Jan '18

05 Jan '18

Hi, I'm trying to build gimp-git which launches gdbus-codegen while building. However, my $PATH is /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:..., and running gdbus-codegen will give the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/bin/gdbus-codegen", line 41, in <module> from codegen import codegen_main ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'codegen' After some searching from the packages I've installed, I found "/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb" in /usr/bin/xdm. I think it's xorg-xdm that changes $PATH. I suggest just using "PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin" in /etc/profile instead of using appendpath.

Re: [arch-general] [Solved] Switch from AMD GPU to nvidia GPU
by Foxtrot Mike 31 Dec '17

Hi, Thanks for the reply. So I re-installed the AMD graphics card. Updated the system with 'pacman -Syu'. Created a bootable arch USB. Shut the PC off and installed nvidia card. Booted up the system. Everything worked fine this time. Don't know what the issue was but perhaps updating the system resolved it.

Dez. 2017, 18:54: Hi all, I was using amd r7 260x card without any problem with 'amdgpu' module. Now I want to install my new nvidia card (1050ti). I assumed that installing 'nvidia' package from pacman would be enough to be able to use my new GPU. (Apparently not). The nvidia related packages installed on my PC are: ~$ pacman -Qs nvidia local/libvdpau 1.1.1+3+ga21bf7a-1 Nvidia VDPAU library local/nvidia 387.34-15 NVIDIA drivers for linux local/nvidia-utils 387.34-2 NVIDIA drivers utilities Upon rebooting after switching the cards, arch boots fine until "Reached target graphical interface" appears on the display. It seemed the PC was stuck, but switching to tty2 resulted in flashing keyboard lights. Which, according to a quick Google search, means kernel panic. Moreover, [1] says that "the files are read in ASCII order, and by convention their names start with XX- (two digits and a hyphen, so that for example 10 is read before 20).". But I have multiple files in "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d" starting with the same number 10: ~$ ls /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ 10-amdgpu.conf 10-quirks.conf 10-nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf 40-libinput.conf Please help me in getting my new card up and running.
