[arch-general] [draft] xorg-server 1.16 is now available (v2)
by Karol Blazewicz 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2014-July/026496.ht… The draft still doesn't say how can I launch more than one rootless X server at a time or if it's possible at all. Do I have to have KMS enabled? What if I'm using e.g. proprietary nvidia drivers i.e. no KMS?

[arch-general] [vte3] Wrong permissions for /etc/profile.d/vte.sh ?
by Neitsab 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

Hi, As I was checking some stuff about environment variables, I noticed that I have one file in /etc/profile.d which doesn't have the same perms as the others: $ ls -la /etc/profile.d/ total 72 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 19 juil. 20:36 . drwxr-xr-x 91 root root 4096 22 juil. 15:04 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 102 24 oct. 2013 gpm.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2154 21 mars 02:16 infinality-settings.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1972 7 janv. 2014 infinality-settings.sh.old -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 140 28 mars 15:29 jre.csh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 152 28 mars 15:29 jre.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 156 15 mars 22:09 libreoffice-common.csh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 156 15 mars 22:09 libreoffice-common.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1052 4 juil. 14:44 locale.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 50 1 juil. 11:55 mozilla-common.csh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 50 1 juil. 11:55 mozilla-common.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 699 19 juin 21:08 perlbin.csh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 668 19 juin 21:08 perlbin.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 115 13 mai 23:37 seahorse-ssh-askpass.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 36 20 janv. 2014 vdpau_vaapi.sh -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1881 23 juin 22:05 vte.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 115 11 juin 2013 x11-ssh-askpass.sh $ pacman -Qo /etc/profile.d/vte.sh /etc/profile.d/vte.sh belongs to vte3 0.36.3-1 I verified it wasn't some bad commands on my side which changed this file's perms by reinstalling it together with vte-common, however the file remains 644. Does anybody have any hints about why this file, which is a .sh script, doesn't have execute permissions like the others in /etc/profile.d folder? I didn't find any change in latest PKGBUILDs which would cause such permissions, so should I suppose it is an upstream decision? Regards

[arch-general] [draft] xorg-server 1.16 is now available
by Karol Blazewicz 27 Jul '14

27 Jul '14

I can start only one rootless X session at a time. If I want to start a second one while the first one is running, I have to use 'sudo startx'. I'm logging into tty and starting X as a user. Did I mis-configure something or is it a "feature'? Can you start multiple X sessions simultaneously with xorg 1.16?

[arch-general] NetworkManager attribute but doesn't use ipv6
by Yamakaky 25 Jul '14

25 Jul '14

Hi I have a problem with nm : it seems to get an ipv6 address from dhcp, but it doesn't use it. ip addr inet 192.168.0.5/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global wifi valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 *:*:*:*:*:*:8f3e:7de1/64 scope global noprefixroute dynamic valid_lft 86334sec preferred_lft 86334sec ip -6 route *:*:*:*::/64 dev wifi proto kernel metric 303 mtu 1480 fe80::/64 dev wifi proto kernel metric 256 (I replaced my ipv6 by * for privacy) Web sites like http://whatismyipv6.com/ say that I don't have an ipv6. I searched on the web, but nothing concluant. Any idea ?

Note that this update is not seemless because it breaks virtual machines with vesa (no KMS, so can not access /dev/mem). The documentation says that Xorg will autodetect whether or not to drop root privs, but it doesn't. Forcing X to run as root via Xwrapper.config does help, but neither this file nor /etc/X11/X11 are part of the package. Is it possible to at least have the latter directory in xorg-server? Otherwise, great news! Thanks, -- Leonid Isaev GPG fingerprints: DA92 034D B4A8 EC51 7EA6 20DF 9291 EE8A 043C B8C4 C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D

[arch-general] community/mythtv out of date & unmaintained
by Gilles Hamel 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

Hello, I'm a mythtv user and I flagged this package since months. What's up with mythtv packages ? I've updated PKGBUILD for myself to the latest version. If nobody wants to maintain them, then I could maintain the mythtv & mythplugins packages in AUR.

[arch-general] Migrating from 64 to 32 bit
by Friedrich Strohmaier 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

Hi folks, starting to do migration from 64 to 32 bit as announced within the other thread. :o)) I choose the Live-CD method following this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Migrating_Between_Architectures_Withou… changed the script mensioned there this way: ===================== #!/bin/bash MOUNTED_INSTALL='/mnt' TEMP_FILE='/tmp/packages.list' ARCH='i686' # added this and used --arch $ARCH pacman --root $MOUNTED_INSTALL -Sy pacman --root $MOUNTED_INSTALL --cachedir $MOUNTED_INSTALL/var/cache/pacman/pkg --arch $ARCH --noconfirm -S base base-devel # -Sg only *listing* the groups #not reached here yet pacman --root $MOUNTED_INSTALL -Qq > $TEMP_FILE for PKG in $(cat $TEMP_FILE) ; do pacman --root $MOUNTED_INSTALL --cachedir $MOUNTED_INSTALL/var/cache/pacman/pkg --noconfirm -S $PKG done exit 0 ================= As I'm a courious guy I run the lines one by one on the shell watching the results :o)) running the second line, 32-bit live arch's pacman refuses to install 32-bit packages and instead complains (example): :: package pkg-config-0.28-2-x86_64 does not have a valid architecture this is basically true, but not very helpful because I requested it to install 32-bit packages which in this case should be pkg-config-0.28-2-i686, if I got it right. Changing neither /etc/pacman.conf's Architecture = i686 nor the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist entries accordingly are of any help. Does anyone have an idea, what's missing? -- Friedrich
