[arch-general] stunnel 5.06-1 vs systemd
by Genes Lists 02 Nov '14

02 Nov '14

I noticed this today after the systemd update and after I rebooted - stunnel package fails to create /run/stunnel and so stunnel.service won't start as it cannot chroot to /var/run/stunnel. stunnel was updated for me on 10/21 from 5.03 to 5.06. Machine has been rebooted since then - so it -seems- like a change happened in systemd which triggered this, but I'm not sure. Work around is to add these 2 lines to /etc/systemd/system/stunnel.conf before the ExecStart line: ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/mkdir /run/stunnel ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/chown -R stunnel:stunnel /run/stunnel Probably just a minor package bug. gene

[arch-general] System Bootup and Shutdown Sounds
by Ronnie Thomas 01 Nov '14

01 Nov '14

Hello Everyone, The canberra-system-bootup.service, canberra-system-shutdown.service and the canberra-system-shutdown-reboot.service from the libcanberra package [0.30-4] refer to several .oga files (like system-bootup.oga) which probably should have been present in the sound-theme-freedesktop package, but aren't there. Where can I find these files, or is this some kind of a bug. Regards, Ronnie.P.Thomas

Did others face the same problem? -- cheers, Thorsten
