[arch-general] MSI AMD R7 260x fan speed with AMDGPU
by Foxtrot Mike 14 Aug '16

14 Aug '16

Hi all, I have a little problem with my R7 260x because of which I must check if the fan is working at startup. If it isn't, I give the fan a little push with my finger so it starts working. The fan gets jammed every fortnight or so (I didn't send the fan for repair or warranty claim because I'm sooo lazy, and now I am in another country). Anyway, the point is that I must be able to see my fan speed. Currently, I am using AMD Catalyst just because it lets me find out my fan speed with: aticonfig --pplib-cmd "get fanspeed 0" I would like to get rid of this driver and install AMDGPU. Last time I tried AMDGPU it was around an year ago, and back then fan monitoring fucntion wasn't available. I would like to ask you guys if this function is available now? And if not, how can I get fan speed readings without the AMD Catalyst software? Any help would be appreciated! regards, Fulcrum

[arch-general] Emacs package is too stable?
by Kwang Moo Yi 12 Aug '16

12 Aug '16

Hello, I recently started using arch linux and the official package for emacs is a bit outdated compared to the one provided from Fedora, which is where I come from. I understand that the `emacs` package is intended for stable only, so I didn't mark it as outdated. However, current dev release 25.1 is quite stable, and it would be great if it's provided as a binary package, as cloning and building with the AUR package is quite a pain. The stable releases that is available in the extras repo seem like an LTS release. Any plans on packaging for the recent tag releases? Thanks, Kwang

[arch-general] Arch Linux in Embedded Projects
by Compy 11 Aug '16

11 Aug '16

Greetings all, I have been using Arch Linux now for several months and have grown quite fond of it. I'm beginning to wonder about its pervasiveness in the field and was wondering if anyone knew of embedded devices or applications that currently use Arch? In the past, I've used buildroot for embedded applications/devices that run on SBCs, but I'm thinking Arch might be better for deployments with more complex hardware configurations and/or conventional motherboards. Any insight would be greatly appreciated regarding the current state/usage of Arch in embedded projects. Thanks! Jimmy

[arch-general] about mrelendig's, scimmia's, and dreisner's behavior

jason, spare us the bullshit. go back to the forum to ban some more people. you are not here to make anything better. this is not spam. i am not here to sell you dildos to put up your asses. it never made a difference even when i did not use 'bad language'. you can either talk seriously or you can fuck off. this is about the task hiding and their unacceptable behavior as members of the arch linux team.

these fuckers keep creating problems. they hided my tasks for the second time. this makes it impossible for the package maintainers to see the tasks. i didn't come here to play games with archlinux team members who happen to be fucking morons. i came here to contribute. it's time for them to be put in their place. they can't be reasoned with, and we can't have a serious discussion about this anywhere else, because in the IRC channels we have other stupid cunts jumping in always trying to derail the discussion, namely, meskarune, keenerd, and polyzen.

you are focusing on how things are said instead of focusing on what is being said. it seems that your mothers never told you that adults cuss sometimes. go back to your mommies if you can't handle a little cussing (that is also justified).

[arch-general] Problem with MATLAB libraries
by Foxtrot Mike 10 Aug '16

Hi all, I have MATLAB 8.6 (2015b). If I install MATLAB in the default directory (/usr/local/MATLAB), everything works fine. However, I want to install MATLAB on a different partition (/mnt/Software). I installed MATLAB on Software parition successfully, but when I try to run matlab, I get this error: ===================================================================== >pwd /mnt/Software/LinuxMatlab/installed/bin >./matlab expr: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory /bin/uname: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Sorry! We could not determine the machine architecture for your host. Please contact: MathWorks Technical Support for further assistance. trap: usage: trap [-lp] [[arg] signal_spec ...] ===================================================================== I think I need to link some libraries so that MATLAB can access them from the Software parition. I am not quite sure how to do it and which libraries do I need to symlink. Any help would be appreciated! Regards, Fulcrum

[arch-general] VirtualBox ALT-key problems (especially with Adobe programs)
by Klaus Doblmann M.A. 06 Aug '16

06 Aug '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, I'm having troubles getting the ALT-key to work properly in VirtualBox as a modifier in applications like Photoshop for things like the clone tool, it isn't recognised as the ALT-key. (No discussions about my need for these proprietary apps please, there are valid reasons for my need for those, I'm not happy about it either). This has been a long-standing problem when using Linux as host systems and is related to aspects of the window management. In previous systems the culprit was that ALT+dragging left mouse button was set to move windows around in Linux, this interfered with the function of the ALT key in the virtual machines. Now using Arch (GNOME3) I have tried several things but haven't found a solution yet. Here's what I've tried: - - Use GNOME tinker tool to disable the window action-key (or assign the super key for that) - - Use GNOME tinker tool to switch the assignment of the ALT and Windows keys - - Tried several different settings in VirtualBox in regards to the capturing of mouse and/or keyboard None of these things - which used to provide a solution in the past) worked, but I have to admit I haven't used a virtual Windows system with Photoshop on a Linux host in probably five years so things might have changed quite a bit. Any pointers from this list? thanks, Klaus - -- Klaus Doblmann M.A. PGP: 43F89A1B -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJXgNiPAAoJEJArGOi/1wqdejsH/AtddpGWCLTEe+6XqgXji73P bCkTfhdKFqDGO0rRgov8j3I4cAMWm63IVrQDxVqvRoAxklPQrLSkaj/GKCCvbJ9T Dr3NEJldqhTMyrSB1ezm6qRCAI8D73lTika6EHmpOst3g+tLmfj+/O8XMlG88gMt Vam2a40MPTYhQWLAZxSkYg92pAk6n3bHrzMRSEu0n/PLJMNSDC27ajE6kMUap4oT QGXsubG8oUYpXvJcUeTBCfGE7c7eGocqZmCrjUJT2Z4SAV31oIsAxswz0Z/OV7pE /8tpwQK6lMNmh1FTjfzdcvzBntds9zGB5ElgYtRyEM94UmNipsE8IDwBiGM8M90= =JHCG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
