[arch-general] makepkg breaks the build when building binaries manually doesn't
by arnaud gaboury 11 Aug '14

11 Aug '14

I am trying to build/install libguestfs [1] from git. There is already am AUR package [2] but not the git version If I manually $ gitclone gitUrl $ cd libguestfs $ ./autogen.sh $ ./configure --someOptions the build goes until the end and leaves me with binaries. --------------------------------- Now I want to install it properly on my machine with a PKBUILD and wrote one. When running $ makepkg I have this structure which sounds correct: libguestfs-git/pkg/ libguestfs-git/src/AllNeededDir_cloned_here but at one time the build breaks with these errors: ----------------------------- ../src/.libs/libutils.a( libutils_la-cleanup.o): In function `guestfs___cleanup_xmlBufferFree': cleanup.c:(.text+0x79): undefined reference to `xmlBufferFree' ../src/.libs/libutils.a(libutils_la-cleanup.o): In function `guestfs___cleanup_xmlFreeDoc': cleanup.c:(.text+0x99): undefined reference to `xmlFreeDoc' ../src/.libs/libutils.a(libutils_la-cleanup.o): In function `guestfs___cleanup_xmlFreeURI': cleanup.c:(.text+0xb9): undefined reference to `xmlFreeURI' ../src/.libs/libutils.a(libutils_la-cleanup.o): In function `guestfs___cleanup_xmlFreeTextWriter': cleanup.c:(.text+0xd9): undefined reference to `xmlFreeTextWriter' ../src/.libs/libutils.a(libutils_la-cleanup.o): In function `guestfs___cleanup_xmlXPathFreeContext': cleanup.c:(.text+0xf9): undefined reference to `xmlXPathFreeContext' ../src/.libs/libutils.a(libutils_la-cleanup.o): In function `guestfs___cleanup_xmlXPathFreeObject': cleanup.c:(.text+0x119): undefined reference to `xmlXPathFreeObject' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Makefile:1598: recipe for target 'virt-p2v' failed ------------------------------------- The build part of PKGBUILD: build(){ cd "$srcdir/libguestfs" ./autogen.sh ./configure --someOptions make } I can't figure out why the binaries build manually and not using makepkg. I suspect this could be a path error at one point, but can't see why. Thank you for any suggestion.

[arch-general] Manual for Samsung Chromebook Needed
by Jonathan Ryshpan 09 Aug '14

09 Aug '14

I'm investigating installing Arch Linux on a Samsung Chromebook, model xe303c12-a01us, as described on the Arch Wiki page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samsung_Chromebook_%28ARM% 29 . To do this it would be useful to have the user manual; unfortunately Samsung no longer provides it, though the Maintenance manual is available. See: http://www.samsungparts.com/PartsList.aspx?Catalog=Parts_and_Accessories&Pa… Can anyone tell me how to get a copy? BTW: Caveat Emptor! Never buy anything till you are sure you can get a copy of the manual. I never dreamed that this situation would arise. Thanks in advance - jon

[arch-general] Hello, world!

I seem to have trouble signing up for the mailing list via a live.ca address. No matter which list I signed up for, none of them would send me a confirmation email, and none of them ended up in spam. So I created a gmail.com address, and it worked! I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem with a live.ca address not cooperating with the mailing list?

[arch-general] Mailing list posting style (was: [aur-general] Compiz package naming)
by Florian Pritz 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

Hi, Disclaimer: I'm trying to write this as friendly as possible, but I want to get the point across so please excuse slightly harsh wording and the length of the mail. Please understand that this mail is directed to all list members, not only those who participated in the thread on aur-general. It happens every now and then, but this thread is probably one of the worse ones. I know it's sometimes easy to forget, but a 16 level deep quote with 420+ lines of quoted content and about 6 lines of original content is not, by any stretch of imagination, okay. Please do not quote the entire thread in every reply and do not reply above the quote(s). A general rule of thumb is to quote only what's necessary to understand the reply. If you need context, please use bottom-posting or IMHO better yet interleaved quoting[1] (I also suggest to read the entire page) and limit your quote to as few lines as possible/necessary. Also feel free to summarise the original mails or write your reply in such a way that it can be understood without context which means that you can omit the quote entirely. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Interleaved_style Please also be aware that some mail clients will add line breaks after 80 characters and original text is normally wrapped after ~72 which means you get about 4 levels of quoting until text starts wrapping which makes it very hard to read. Generally, if your reply is shorter than the quoted message you might do something wrong. If you quote the entire message you likely do something wrong. If you quote the entire thread for 16 levels you *really* do something very wrong, no exception here, sorry. Also if you need any proof try to read this message[2] without reading the original messages directly (only read the quotes in the linked message). Note that the start of the thread is somewhere in the middle (you can search for "Hello AUR general & Compiz package maintainers") thanks to top/bottom/interleaved quoting styles being mixed. [2] https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2014-August/029292.html I'm also sending this to arch-general as a reminder because I've seen a few topposters/fullquoters there as well. Let's please all work together here so something like this doesn't happen again. If you see this happening in a thread that you participate in, please speak up (early) and make sure your own reply breaks the chain. Thanks for your consideration, Florian

[arch-general] Problems with openvpn
by Iru Cai 01 Aug '14

01 Aug '14

Hi, I just found out my openvpn doesn't work normally. When I run `sudo openvpn --config client.ovpn', openvpn has the following output: ``` Fri Aug 1 21:36:34 2014 TUN/TAP device tun0 opened Fri Aug 1 21:36:34 2014 TUN/TAP TX queue length set to 100 Fri Aug 1 21:36:34 2014 do_ifconfig, tt->ipv6=0, tt->did_ifconfig_ipv6_setup=0 Fri Aug 1 21:36:34 2014 /usr/bin/ip link set dev tun0 up mtu 1500 Fri Aug 1 21:36:34 2014 /usr/bin/ip addr add dev tun0 local 10.0.3.22 peer 10.0.3.21 Fri Aug 1 21:36:34 2014 ROUTE remote_host protocol differs from tunneled Fri Aug 1 21:36:34 2014 /usr/bin/ip route add 0.0.0.0/1 via 10.0.3.21 Fri Aug 1 21:36:34 2014 /usr/bin/ip route add 128.0.0.0/1 via 10.0.3.21 Fri Aug 1 21:36:34 2014 /usr/bin/ip route add 10.0.3.0/24 via 10.0.3.21 Fri Aug 1 21:36:34 2014 Initialization Sequence Completed ``` Then I run `ip route', and I cannot see `0.0.0.0/1 via 10.0.3.21' in the list, although I can then add it manually. I did another test. I move /usr/bin/ip to /usr/local/bin/ip, and wrote /usr/bin/ip as ``` #!/bin/sh sleep 1 /usr/local/bin/ip "$@" ``` And this time openvpn can add the route normally. Can someone tell me what's wrong with it? Thanks, Iru

[arch-general] owncloud: incorrect dependencies in PKGBUILD
by Neitsab 30 Jul '14

30 Jul '14

Hi everybody, Today I was looking at the installation of ownCloud on my home Arch server, and I noticed one of the optional dependencies returned by pacman (php-imagick) couldn't be found in the official repos. Turns out it's in the AUR [1]. Arch packages' owncloud webpage mentions "(virtual)" next to php-imagick and has no hyperlink [2]. Is that expected? Also, after looking at the latest ownCloud official admin manual prerequisites section [3] it seems package dependencies should be overhauled: * php-intl should be moved to optdepends array; * smbclient should be removed from optdepends (required only for specific apps, otherwise php-ldap from [extra] should be added too); * php-apcu and php-xcache should be added to optdepends; * quite probably php-fpm should be included too since it is mentioned in the given example nginx config [4]; * and of course, php-imagick should be removed from optdepends if it isn't expected that AUR packages are mentioned in official repos PKGBUILDs. I had a go at an amended PKGBUILD, please find it below. Tell me if this is better suited as a bug report.

[arch-general] Ncurses over ssh
by luc.linux＠mailoo.org 30 Jul '14

30 Jul '14

Hello everyone. I am using newsbeuter to handle my rss feeds, and, to be able to use it from all my computers, I set it up on a server with ssh enabled. When I log in this server with ssh, then launch newsbeuter, everything works fine. But when I invoke it that way : `ssh [ip] newsbeuter`, newsbeuter fails with 'Error opening terminal : unknown'. When I explicitly export $TERM[1], newsbeuter is able to launch, but it doesn't detect the terminal size and can't handle keys. So I'll be glad if you know how to fix that matter. Thanks in advance. In a totally unrelated matter, do you know how to make a remote program launch local scripts through ssh ? [1] : The command used is : `ssh [ip] 'export TERM=rxvt-unicode-256color && newsbeuter'`
