[arch-general] Possible reflector https problem?
by Francis Gerund 15 Jun '16

15 Jun '16

Hi. I just did: sudo reflector --verbose --country 'United States' -l 200 -p https --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist The result, only one source (has been 5 or 6 sources before): rating https://arch.localmsp.org/arch/ Server Rate Time https://arch.localmsp.org/arch/ 185.65 KiB/s 0.64 s Tried again, same result. Here is /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist: ################################################################################ ################# Arch Linux mirrorlist generated by Reflector ################# ################################################################################ # With: reflector --verbose --country 'United States' -l 200 -p https --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist # When: 2016-06-15 17:20:18 UTC # From: https://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/json/ # Retrieved: 2016-06-15 17:18:21 UTC # Last Check: 2016-06-15 17:12:41 UTC Server = https://arch.localmsp.org/arch/$repo/os/$arch What has happened to the other https sources? Or have I been MITM'd by NSA, etc.?

[arch-general] gnome-keyring madness
by Kyle Terrien 15 Jun '16

15 Jun '16

Seahorse 3.20.0-2 has a new hard dependency on gnome-keyring. Should gnome-keyring instead be an optional dependency? Seahorse can cope without gnome-keyring (although with warnings about not being able to talk to gnome-keyring). And for some reason, lightdm likes to launch gnome-keyring automatically, and this breaks my setup because I use gpg-agent with pinentry-gtk-2 to handle SSH keys. However gnome-keyring naively assumes that it may (incorrectly) handle SSH keys. Is there any way to tell lightdm not to launch gnome-keyring? (And yes, the obvious answer is to uninstall gnome-keyring. However, virt-manager has a hard dependency on seahorse.) Update: it turns out that virt-manager has a dependency on x11-ssh-askpass, which seahorse provides. My workaround for now is to install x11-ssh-askpass and uninstall seahorse and gnome-keyring (even though I will never use x11-ssh-askpass). There is something wrong with this dependency chain. Will someone smarter than me please look into it? * Should gpg-agent and/or pinentry provide x11-ssh-askpass? * Should gnome-keyring be an optional dep for seahorse, considering that seahorse copes without it although in a limited form? * Should virt-manager have a hard dependency on x11-ssh-askpass? --Kyle

[arch-general] Gnome copy and past keybindings
by Akendo 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

Hi everyone. I'm trying to reconfigure gnomes default behavior in copy and paste keybindings. Is there any way of changing this? I found only some old question in the internet with a similar questions. All of them were left open. I want to re-bind ctrl + c and ctrl + v to meta + c and ctrl + v. There are no configuration option in the gnome control center nor in the gsettings. best regards akendo

[arch-general] SLiM DM
by runical＠gmx.com 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

Dear all, I hope this is the right place to ask this. If not, please direct me to the correct place. I noticed that the SLiM display manager is in the repositories [0] while the wiki states that it has been deprecated [1]. Also, the project site is no longer available. Now, I understand that there are some reasons to keep deprecated software in the repositories, like with truecrypt. However, in the case of SLiM, there are compatibility issues with systemd on top of the fact that it has been deprecated. So, would it be possible to remove this software from the repositories, or could someone give some reasons why it is still in the repositories? With kind regards, runical [0] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/slim/ [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SLiM

[arch-general] PKGBUILD - Howto build openmpi w/o valgrind or valgrind w/o openmpi - what's the trick?
by David C. Rankin 12 Jun '16

12 Jun '16

All, This seems like a chicken-and-the-egg problem that I'm not understanding. How do you build openmpi when it's makedepends requires valgrind, but you cannot build valgrind because it's makedepends requires openmpi?? Specifically: $ cat /var/abs/extra/valgrind/PKGBUILD pkgname=valgrind ... makedepends=(gdb openmpi) $ cat /var/abs/extra/openmpi/PKGBUILD pkgname=openmpi ... makedepends=(inetutils valgrind gcc-fortran) Is there some type of trick? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] RetroArch refuses to go back into windowed mode after fullscreen
by Diego Viola 11 Jun '16

11 Jun '16

Hello, I've been having this poblem for a while now, and I reported the problem here, because I think its' a bug in the Intel driver. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93844 The problem happens when I use retroarch and I play a game, I press F to go into fullscreen mode, but when I press F again, the video is paused and retroarch hangs. This happens independently of the core I'm using in RA. At the moment, the problem is present with the 4.6.1-2-ARCH kernel, but if I compile 4.6.1 myself, the problem does not occur. Is there anything the package maintainers can do about this? Or this is something only the Intel developers can tackle? My system is archlinux x86_64, Intel i915 driver, Dual-Core CPU E5500 @ 2.80GHz desktop machine, 2GB of RAM. I was able to reproduce this on my ThinkPad T450 as well, so I don't think the hardware is that relevant. Thanks, Diego

[arch-general] Virtualbox users shouldn't upgrade to linux 4.6.1-2-ARCH
by Ralf Mardorf 09 Jun '16

09 Jun '16

Hi, today I upgraded from 4.5.4-1-ARCH (x86_64) to 4.6.1-2-ARCH (x86_64), it's not in testing anymore, it's provided by the official repository, https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/linux/ . On my machine the boot options are 'ro' 'threadirqs' and virtualbox with a Windows 7 guest hangs always after a few seconds. The bug already is reported: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/49504 I only wanted to inform that there is an issue. Regards, Ralf
