[arch-general] Weird program in $PATH
by Heiko Becker 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

Hey everyone, today I tried to launch firefox from my awesome-wm launcher and instead of being offered firefox after typing fire, the prompt finished showing me alternatives and being a little lazy I just pushed enter. This gave me a window with some fire particle animations running on my screen. Searching for the program in my pacman.log did not show me anything so I'm wondering where this program comes from. Can anyone of you maybe help me to at least get this thing removed without having any files left that are only used by this program? Best regards, Heiko

kalu is used on my machine to manage AUR upgrades notifications. This package has been working well until now. Notification pop-up doesn't work. In the mate desktop, when going to system > preferences > Notification pop-up, clicking preview leaves me with this error: ---------------- Error while displaying notification: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.Notifications: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.freedesktop.Notifications exited with status 127 ----------------------- I have no idea how to solve it. Note: $ notify-send "test" doesn't show anything Thank you for suggestions.

[arch-general] POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL(_DESIGN) semantics
by Chrisitan Burkard 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

Hi, I am wondering what the semantics of POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL(_DESIGN) are. I am using a ~3 years old thinkpad with its first battery so aging is something normal I guess. (see below). [watnuss@tp ~]$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent POWER_SUPPLY_NAME=BAT0 POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS=Unknown POWER_SUPPLY_PRESENT=1 POWER_SUPPLY_TECHNOLOGY=Li-ion POWER_SUPPLY_CYCLE_COUNT=0 POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_MIN_DESIGN=11100000 POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_NOW=12484000 POWER_SUPPLY_CURRENT_NOW=0 POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL_DESIGN=7800000 POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL=5052000 POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_NOW=4551000 POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY=90 POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY_LEVEL=Normal POWER_SUPPLY_MODEL_NAME=42T4799 POWER_SUPPLY_MANUFACTURER=SANYO POWER_SUPPLY_SERIAL_NUMBER= 5878 As I understand POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL_DESIGN would be the capacity of a fully charged new battery and POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL is the maximum capacity of the battery today. I am asking because I am using i3status to show my battery loading state and it shows me 58% which would be (CHARGE_NOW / CHARGE_FULL_DESIGN). If I understand correctly this doesn't make any sense if I am not able to reach the CHARGE_FULL_DESIGN capacity anyways, today. So if anyone with a bit more knowledge about this mechanic could confirm my guess I would contact upstream what they think about it. (In my opinion they should read CHARGE_FULL to determine the current battery %) Another issue I have is that the POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS shows 'Unknown' on AC but 'Discharging' on Battery. Do you have any idea why? My guess is that i3 uses this property to show the battery/AC state in i3status and because of the 'Unkown' value I don't get updates on the state there. Best regards and thanks for your help Christian

[arch-general] USB power cut in early userspace since recent update
by Sebastian Lipp 17 Aug '14

17 Aug '14

Hi Since yesterdays pacman -Syu I'm unable to boot my system the usual way. My observation on that is the following. In early userspace the USB port's power gets cut for around a second which is indicated by the LED of the external drive I'm booting from. Therefore - as I further assume - recognition of the drive gets lost and decrypting and mounting of root is not possible. When I (un)plug the drive both actions get recognized as such but the device(s) don't get registered. I already guessed and tried to 1. reinstall syslinux bootloader, 2. (realize the power cut and) downgrade kernel, 3. downgrade (lib)systemd and 4. mkinitcpio from a chroot and reboot between each of the steps. Nothing of that helped. I will attach a grep of my pacman.log to show which pkgs where upgraded. There were no errors logged. I will happily provide any further information that might help directing me towards debugging and fixing that problem. Getting rid of the intermediate USB gets me rid of the described problem which is obviously no permanent solution. Thanks a lot. basti

[arch-general] qemu-vm : access to KVM kernel denied
by arnaud gaboury 17 Aug '14

I found my entries about this topic, but no clear answer. As user, I want to install a VM with virt-install. $ virt-install --connect qemu:///system --LONG list of options Error : could not access KVM kernel module: permission denied. Running the above command as root returns the same. My configuration: martinus@gerbillous ➤➤ ~ % uname -r 3.16.1-1-ARCH martinus@gerbillous ➤➤ ~ % ls -al /dev/kvm crw-rw----+ 1 root kvm 10, 232 Aug 17 11:05 /dev/kvm martinus@gerbillous ➤➤ ~ % groups martinus adm wheel video audio kalu libvirt qemu kvm martinus No files in /etc/polkit.1/rules.d No files in /etc/udev/rules.d , so /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/65-kvm.rules apply. /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf is set to qemu:qemu. qemu user from /etc/passwd : qemu:x:135:135:qemu:/:/usr/bin/nologin qemu group from /etc/group : qemu:x:135:martinus I have no idea what to do.

No problem, thanks a lot already! How close is ALARM (if that's what you're using) to original Arch (in terms of config directory, apps packaging etc.)?

Do you mind if I put a link to your gist on the wiki (ownCloud page, nginx + uwsgi section)? Just two questions: * I see you define two 'root" directives in nginx.conf, a server-wide one (/srv/http) and the / location one (/usr/share/webapps/owncloud): what is the interest of doing so? * I see (from enabled php extensions) you use SQLite? How does it go performance-wise? (if you prefer I can put my questions on the gist comments instead of the ML) Help is much appreciated, thanks.

[arch-general] TeXLive 2014 packages
by Rémy Oudompheng 13 Aug '14

13 Aug '14

Hello, I have updated TeXLive packages for the 2014 release in the [testing] repo. The main visible change is the split of the huge texlive-langcjk package into 3 packages (langchinese, langjapanese, langkorean) to follow upstream split of the corresponding TeXLive collection. The upgrade should not cause any particular issue. Please report any problem you are experiencing. Regards, Rémy.

If you could verify the instructions on the wiki [1] and update them to reflect your current working install (nginx.conf server context and uWSGI owncloud config file), it would be much appreciated. I'm thinking in particular (by reading the wiki): * what is uwsgi_modifier1 14 directive used for? * uwsgi_pass directive: is TCP socket required by OC or can we replace it by a unix socket (like it seems to be by default in uwsgi doc [2])? * how do you start the uwsgi process (the wiki mentions a systemd unit file and Emperor but doesn't explain the need for those...)? Etc. Thanks already, Neitsab [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OwnCloud#Nginx_.2B_uwsgi_php_configura… [2] http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/Nginx.html#configuring-nginx

[arch-general] Why not mksh provides("ksh")?
by G. Richard Bellamy 12 Aug '14

12 Aug '14

Not sure if this is the correct venue for this comment, and apologies if it's already been mentioned, but why wouldn't mksh [1] provide ksh? This would alleviate some AUR dependency weirdness, specifically with the oracle-sqldeveloper [2] package, which currently forces an install of ksh [3], even though it'll work just fine with mksh. -rb [1] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/mksh/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/oracle-sqldeveloper/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ksh/
