Hello everyone, Is there any counter for ISO-downloads or something? I want to have a number how much people are using Arch Linux worldwide. I don't need an exact number. Does somebody has some statistics? best regards Chris

[arch-general] Mutt - no authenticators available
by Fulcrum 26 Feb '16

26 Feb '16

Hi I have been trying for hours but cant get mutt working. I used configuration from different forums. They all made sense but neither work. Also, the mutt package availabe in official arch repo has no debugging support so I couldn't figure out what was going wrong. After some internet research and keen eyes on mutt's on-screen logs, I found that mutt was trying to authenticate plainly. Then I learnt about authenticators. I enabled these authenticators: set imap_authenticators=”digest-md5:gssapi:cram-md5:login” set smtp_authenticators=”digest-md5:gssapi:cram-md5:login” And now I am exhausted and , quite frankly, frustrated. The only logs generated by journalctl are: Feb 25 10:44:15 ARCH mutt[31322]: GSSAPI client step 1 Feb 25 10:44:37 ARCH mutt[31322]: DIGEST-MD5 common mech free Feb 25 10:45:04 ARCH mutt[31328]: GSSAPI client step 1 Feb 25 10:45:06 ARCH mutt[31328]: DIGEST-MD5 common mech free Feb 25 10:45:10 ARCH mutt[31329]: GSSAPI client step 1 Feb 25 10:45:12 ARCH mutt[31329]: DIGEST-MD5 common mech free Feb 25 10:45:40 ARCH mutt[31332]: DIGEST-MD5 common mech free Feb 25 10:48:29 ARCH mutt[31404]: DIGEST-MD5 common mech free Feb 25 10:48:45 ARCH mutt[31406]: GSSAPI client step 1 Feb 25 10:49:18 ARCH mutt[31406]: DIGEST-MD5 common mech free Feb 25 10:50:18 ARCH mutt[31421]: DIGEST-MD5 common mech free Feb 25 10:53:46 ARCH mutt[31530]: GSSAPI client step 1 Feb 25 10:53:49 ARCH mutt[31530]: DIGEST-MD5 common mech free FYI I have 'cyrus-sasl' and 'cyrus-sasl-gssapi' packages installed. My .muttrc: set imap_authenticators=”gssapi:digest-md5:cram-md5:login” set smtp_authenticators=”gssapi:digest-md5:cram-md5:login” set imap_user = “myemail@hotmail.com” set imap_pass = “mypassword" set smtp_url = smtp://smtp-mail.outlook.com:465 // Earlier, I tried port 587 set smtp_pass = “mypassword” set from = “myemail@hotmail.com” set realname = “Fulcrum” set ssl_force_tls = yes set ssl_starttls = yes set folder = imaps://imap-mail.outlook.com:993 set spoolfile = imaps://imap-mail.outlook.com/INBOX set header_cache=~/.mutt/cache/headers set message_cachedir=~/.mutt/cache/bodies set certificate_file=~/.mutt/certificates set move = no I tried using a gmail account; didnt work. I hope someone here could help me. Regards, Fulcrum

by Harrison Wells 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Hello Archers, Is there any particular reason as to why Wget in the Extra repository has been out of date for more than two months now (It was flagged out of date on 15th of November, 2015)? The current version available in the repository is 1.16.3-1. The latest version upstream is 1.17.1. Best Regards, Harrison Wells

[arch-general] Alternative init system proposal
by Eric Vidal 24 Feb '16

24 Feb '16

Hello everyone, I'm the creator of Obarun I use runit for PID1 and managing service. Repo is available for all package builded without systemd support. All this package have the name xxx-systemd to avoid trouble with original package. Package are maintained every week (one time per week). all this package doesn't have service declaration to allow other distro to use it like manjaro, alphaos etecetera... A github with all the pkgbuild used is available here https://github.com/Obarun + some personnal scripts A complete site is available too with forum and a little wiki here www.obarun.org Proposal an alternative to systemd on arch system isn't impossible even for complex desktop environment. KF5, XFCE4 work on it.(using consolekit for the moment) dev is managed by gentoo eudev (working with jcnelson vdev is in progress, but not working for the moment). I use my system from almost one year now and share it from july 2015. This system is not perfect (i'm not a good dev) and i'm alone to make all the stuff (site, maintaining, new features and so one) but i'm the proof that can be possible and without so much efford. Isn't the work to arch to propose an alternative. Pacman, makepkg, pkgbuild are beautiful tools which allow user to make every his want. So use it and don't ask anything to arch dev :) -- Eric Vidal <eric(a)obarun.org>

[arch-general] systemctl --user broken
by juan tascon 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

Gday everyone, Since the last systemd update (229) I haven't been able to run my systemd user instance. I'm getting this error when I try to run "systemctl --user status": Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory Running strace reveals that it tries to connect to kdbus which isn't available on the current kernel: open("/sys/fs/kdbus/1000-user/bus", O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) I've tried disabling kdbus adding "kdbus=0" as kernel parameter but that didn't work. Any help here will be greatly appreciated.

[arch-general] can't balance full btrfs raid6 filesystem
by Jameson Pugh 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

I have a raid6 btrfs filesystem which I filled up, and added a disk to: > sudo btrfs fi show /dev/sdb Label: 'raid' uuid: 96c75e11-ab60-44b6-a450-4cd2831f86f0 Total devices 5 FS bytes used 917.77GiB devid 1 size 465.76GiB used 465.76GiB path /dev/sdb devid 2 size 465.76GiB used 465.76GiB path /dev/sdc devid 3 size 465.76GiB used 465.76GiB path /dev/sdd devid 4 size 931.51GiB used 465.76GiB path /dev/sde devid 5 size 1.82TiB used 0.00B path /dev/sdf Despite having removed files, and added the new device, I still can't balance the filesystem: > sudo btrfs balance start /mnt/raid ERROR: error during balancing '/mnt/raid': No space left on device There may be more info in syslog - try dmesg | tail Adding -dusage doesn't help: > sudo btrfs balance start -dusage=4 /mnt/raid Done, had to relocate 0 out of 471 chunks > sudo btrfs balance start -dusage=5 /mnt/raid ERROR: error during balancing '/mnt/raid': No space left on device There may be more info in syslog - try dmesg | tail Neither dmesg nor journalctl have anything useful. Am I doomed to rebuild the filesystem? I'm actually at the point, now, where I'm considering ZFS to avoid the issues btrfs has with running out of space, free space reporting, and cache disks. I really don't want to move to something that isn't GPL compatible, but this is getting quite frustrating. Thanks, Jameson

[arch-general] VBoxWebsrv has trouble exiting itself
by Jim Mi 21 Feb '16

21 Feb '16

Recently I found my system(Gnome+Nvidia+bumblebee) freezes sometimes during powering off, so I checked the systemsd log, and it shows that vboxwebsrv timed out(took about a minute to be killed). I disabled vboxwebsrv, everything seems okay now. Has anyone experienced this too ? If it were a bug, I think the developers should be informed.

[arch-general] archwiki (readline) Disabling control echo no longer working, and ~ not shown until 2nd char typed?
by David C. Rankin 20 Feb '16

20 Feb '16

All, Following https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Readline I was attempting to disable control echo by adding 'set echo-control-characters off' to ~/.inputrc. After logging out/in there is no change to the '^C' echo after 'ctrl+c' is pressed to terminate the present command. I even tried adding it to /etc/inputrc. Same result. Is there something else needed with the current readline? Also in this process, I noticed when I type '~' (e.g. like ~/tmp) the '~' is not echoed until the 2nd character is pressed. This is confusing. I've looked at /etc/inputrc and do not see anything that appears to suppress echo of '~' (or I was too dumb to recognize it). What is preventing the '~' from being echoed when it is typed as the first character? How do I fix it so it always is shown? (I'm using default BASH as the shell) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
