[arch-general] Cannot no longer resolve local hostname with the new nsswitch.conf
by Chi-Hsuan Yen 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

Hi Arch enthuasiasts, With testing/filesystem 2016.11-2, I can no longer use my local hostname to acess services on the local machine. For example: $ hostname PC12574 $ ping PC12574 ping: PC12574: Name or service not known Seems changes in nsswitch.conf [1] does the effect. If I change the hosts: line in nsswitch.conf back to the old configuration "files resolve mymachines myhostname", or remove the [!UNAVAIL=return] part from this line, ping works fine: $ ping PC12574 PING PC12574(PC12574 (fe80::ae22:bff:fe77:e20b%enp3s0)) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from PC12574 (fe80::ae22:bff:fe77:e20b%enp3s0): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.025 ms 64 bytes from PC12574 (fe80::ae22:bff:fe77:e20b%enp3s0): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.078 ms Is it a bug? Or such a usage is just a non-standard coincidence? Thanks for any help. Yen Chi Hsuan [1] https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/fil…

Dear all, I will need to rebuild some of my packages which I maintain myself for readline 7.0. Is there a reliable way to find out which packages need a rebuild? How was the rebuild list for the official repos made?

[arch-general] kernel linux-4.8.6-1-x86_64 not able to load modules
by Anast Gramm 05 Nov '16

05 Nov '16

Hey list, After, as suggested in arch-annoucne, I force-upgrated ttf-dejavu I made a full system upgrade with pacman -Syu. This installed the latest linux kernel. (the one in the subject line) The initram was completed successfully and I procceded to reboot. Then Xserver would complain about my intel module (i915) After a while I figured that nothin was loaded. I had no internet connection (ip link would only show loopback), when I plugged a USB drive the kernel woudln't detect it, and so on... I downgraded to linux-4.8.4 using arch live with arch-chroot. Everything works but when I upgrade to the latest kernel the same thing happens. Since I am prety new to the linux power user world, I have no idea what to do next. Should I file a bug? Ad if yes how do I do that? Also about the kernel upgrade, should I just skip 4.8.6 and get the next one? Since I didn't see anything in the list about linux-4.8.6 I guess it must have something to do with my setup. Any suggestions will be really helpful!

[arch-general] Almost system crash, users getting logged out
by J. C. 05 Nov '16

05 Nov '16

Hi list, I had an "almost crash" last night. When I got up in the morning, the session on the first six TTYs were closed, but the sessions on TTY 8-10 were still open. Having taken a look at the journal, I found a lot of activity around 4AM. That may have been preceeded by something around midnight, when my music player suddenly quit, the system informing me, that there was not enough memory. A restart of the music player was successful though. I don't have any remote login services active and this sort of thing hasn't happened before, not on Arch since my installation a few weeks ago nor on the previous system. My kernel version is 4.8.2, not having rebooted since the last upgrade. The journal excerpt with the potential problem is here: https://freeshell.de/~silvain/journal.log I'd be grateful for any help and of course eagre to supply any further info to solve this issue. Thank you and best wishes Jeanette -------- When you need someone, you just turn around and I will be there <3

[arch-general] Getting Groove to Work Properly Under Arch?
by Hunter Jozwiak 05 Nov '16

05 Nov '16

Hi, I am not sure if anyone has been having a similar issue, so here goes. I recently signed up for Groove Music so that i can have a cross- platform means of accessing my collection (primarily from my Arch box and the Xbox). I have discovered that there is a Groove web client so this should, in theory work. But practice, at the current moment, is not equal to theory; I am getting an error about how Groove can't play a particular song. Before, I was getting an error about how Flash is required, so I've installed the flashpluggin package. This is where I stand now. Does anyone have any pointers to a resolution? -- Regards, Hunter Jozwiak

[arch-general] ttf-dejavu putting files in the wrong place
by Jagannathan Tiruvallur Eachambadi 02 Nov '16

02 Nov '16

Hi The fontconfig for the package should go in /etc/fonts/conf.avail since I was advised to create symbolic links to /etc/fonts/conf.d/ to enable specific features. If this is not the case, the wiki needs to be updated. Thanks guys! Regards Jagan
