[arch-general] Removing compiler flag from CMake output
by Marcel Korpel 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

Hi, As I already feared, someone tried to build mysql-connector-c++ [1] against libmysqlclient 5.6.20-1, which results in the following error: …/driver/mysql_metadata.cpp:1216:74: error: ‘dynamic_cast’ not permitted with -fno-rtti How do I remove that compiler flag from CMake output? I already tried adding -frtti to CXXFLAGS in makepkg.conf, but this didn't change the compiler flags. I also tried to add it as an environment variable to the cmake call in PKGBUILD and add a set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-frtti") at several places in …/CMakeLists.txt, but to no avail, CMake keeps saying -- MySQL CXXFLAGS: -I/usr/include/mysql -fPIC -pipe -msse4.1 -mmmx -fomit-frame-pointer -fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -fno-strict-aliasing -DBIG_JOINS=1 -felide-constructors -fno-rtti -g -DNDEBUG And why isn't this a problem when building against libmariadbclient 10.0.14? Regards, Marcel [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mysql-connector-c%2B%2B/

[arch-general] packages and configuration required to send e-mails from php.
by mick 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

I'm setting up an apache, php, drupal 7 site and need to be able to send e-mails from the site but getting lost trying to find out what I need as far as system packages, php extensions and how to configure them all. I've tried a couple of scripts for php and they report they have succeeded but the test mail never arrives in my inbox. I suspect that php & drupal are working but I need something in the way of a mail server set up for them to work through. The Postfix was package was installed as a dependancy of something I installed but the help files seem to me to require a sound understanding of e-mail systems and their jargon which I don't have. Is there some kind soul out there who has the time and knowledge to help me get this working? mik

[arch-general] Regarding CUPS in [testing]
by Savya 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

The CUPS package in testing changes the names of two systemd service/socket files from cupsd.service and cups.{socket,service,path} to org.cups.cupsd.{socket,service,path}. It is indeed quite frightening to try to print something and to find out that cups.socket does not exist. Can this transition be eased over through a cups.install or something? -- Cheers! Savya

[arch-general] virt-clone change qcow2 to raw, fully reproducible.
by An Nguyen 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

Hello all, I am having a problem with virt-clone on Arch Linux always changes a QCOW2 image into RAW. I've seen this bug being reported to RedHat at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=795400. The last status seems that the bug was fixed upstream in Fedora 17. However, on ArchLinux, virt-clone still converts any QCOWS2 image into RAW. I would like to know if this is a known ArchLinux's specific bug or this is another issue with upstream. Regard.

[arch-general] Fast User Switching does not seem to work
by constantine 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Hello all! I am not sure this is the appropriate mailing list, and I have also posted to intel-gfx(a)lists.freedesktop.org (without any solution) and systemd-devel(a)lists.freedesktop.org Please indicate if you recommend me posting the problem to another list. I am encountering a peculiar problem with Fast User Switching or Kernel Mode Setting and I do not know how to troubleshoot it. Suppose the following tty2,3 or VTs: 1. Ctrl+Alt+F2: logged in user in console (no X) 2. Ctrl+Alt+F3: logged in user in console (no X) 3. Ctrl+Alt+F4: logged in user in Desktop Environment (X) 4. Ctrl+Alt+F5: logged in user in Desktop Environment (X) >From 1 to 2, or 2 to 1 there is no delay. >From 1,2 to 3, or 1,2 to 4 there is no delay. >From 3,4 to 1,2 there **is** delay. >From 3 to 4, or 4 to 3, there **is**delay. In words: when I run two (or more) Virtual Terminals switching between them (Ctrl+Alt+F4-5, etc.) takes 2+ seconds. (The VTs are either simply initiated with startx from tty2 and tty3 and having only TWM, xorg-clock and xterm as their open windows OR as different displays with KDisplay Manager (kdm) in :0 and :1) I am using an intel graphics driver so I suppose KMS should be enabled by default and this seems to be the case, but there still are delays swithing between VTs. I have followed the instructions at http://carlosbecker.com/posts/how-to-enable-kms-on-i915-graphiccard-archlin… https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/kernel_mode_setting https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_graphics after a fresh Arch Linux installation, but I am still experiencing the problem. I am certain it is not a hardware related issue, because I can fast switch in ubuntu, but not in Arch linux. My Arch uses systemd and Ubuntu upstart. Last, I am aware of the systemd's on-demand "feature" of spawning terminals but I think it is not related to this, since I think I correctly "pre-spawned" them. How can I make switching between VTs as instantaneous as possible?

[arch-general] Mariadb eats system ressources
by rumpelsepp＠sevenbyte.org 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Hi, after struggling with this problem for one week I have finally decided to post on the arch list for getting some help. I have a very strange problem with mariadb from the official repos. I run a usual LAMP stack (apache, php-fpm, mariadb) on archlinux. Since one week (or so) I have realized a very strange behavior: One mariadb process stucks on 100 percent CPU usage. I am not able to figure out what's going on. Restarting mariadb fixes the problem for a few hours. Here is a list of a few debug outputs [1]; I have put it in my pastebin because my email client would wrap the text at 80 chars. If you need even more information I can update the paste. The mariadb status page shows about 6,5 queries per second (!) and I don't know where this comes from. I have disabled remote access with "skip-networking" (mysql port is closed) and the PROCESSLIST does only show one process. I thought it might be an DDoS attack on a website but no apache access-log grows unexpectedly. Even after stopping apache mariadb stucks on 100 percent cpu usage. I figured out that there are listed a lot of connections in the output of "show status like 'Con%';". Last hour I even had about 5000 connections but there are no appropriate queries visible in the general log. The general log lists the wordpress queries which are executed when I click on my homepage. Everything looks fine; the cpu usage does not! Do you have any ideas what I can do to figure out what's going on with my mariadb? Thanks in advance! Stefan [1]: http://snippets.sevenbyte.org/8/raw/

Helo everyone, since some weeks I have a new laptop. Until now everything seemed to work fine. But I can't get youtube to play videos better than 360p, which s quite ugly. Does anyone have a hint on this? I installed flasplayer from adobe and gst-plugins-base/bad/ugly. Best, Heiko

I'm in the process of setting up a Drupal 7.xx site and have com to the point where it recommends using PECL uploadprogress to provide feedback on the progress of file uploads but I'm unable to find any Arch specific install instructions, only those for .rpm or .deb files. This is the first time I have done much with php. any help would be welcome. mik

[arch-general] systemd timers: switch default target to timers.target?
by Neitsab 08 Oct '14

08 Oct '14

Hi everybody, It seems like systemd now provides a target that is intended to gather all timers supposed to be activated after boot. From man 7 systemd.special: > timers.target > A special target unit that sets up all timer units (see > systemd.timer(5) for details) that shall be active after boot. > It is recommended that timer units installed by applications get > pulled in via Wants= dependencies from this unit. This is best > configured via WantedBy=timers.target in the timer unit's > "[Install]" section. systemd package itself provides two timers, /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-readahead-done.timer and /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-tmpfiles-clean.timer, the latter being statically enabled in the "new" /usr/lib/systemd/system/timers.target.wants directory. Five other packages in base group provide systemd timers: logrotate, man-db, mdadm, shadow and util-linux. I didn't manage to use pkgfile to get this list (globbing and regex switches didn't help, dunno why), so I only counted .timer files present in /usr/lib/systemd/system/. $ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/systemd/system/*.timer /usr/lib/systemd/system/fstrim.timer is owned by util-linux 2.25.1-1 /usr/lib/systemd/system/logrotate.timer is owned by logrotate 3.8.7-3 /usr/lib/systemd/system/man-db.timer is owned by man-db 2.6.7.1-1 /usr/lib/systemd/system/mdadm-last-resort@.timer is owned by mdadm 3.3.1-2 /usr/lib/systemd/system/shadow.timer is owned by shadow 4.2.1-1 /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-readahead-done.timer is owned by systemd 216-3 /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-tmpfiles-clean.timer is owned by systemd 216-3 Currently, three timers are statically enabled via symlinks in /usr/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ after install (logrotate.timer, man-db.timer and shadow.timer), while as already said systemd-tmpfiles-clean.timer is statically enabled via a symlink in /usr/lib/systemd/system/timers.target.wants/ (seemingly respecting new practice). On the other hand, util-linux' fstrim.timer, when enabled via systemctl, gets symlinked in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/. Other packages not part of base like extra/pkgstats or extra/mlocate also provide timers that once enabled, get symlinked to /usr/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/. So AFAICT, there are quite some discrepancies concerning how systemd timers are implemented. I'd like to discuss whether Arch should switch default timers target for packages in base group from multi-user.target to timers.target, possibly doing so for other packages in official repos. Cheers, Neitsab
