[arch-general] archlinux samba provision error
by shadrock uhuru 08 Jul '14

hello Marc thanks for your help there are only the two mount points as shown in my fstab file, everything is mounted under root except for the home directory. i carried out the test on the os_requirements page to test the filesystem, the test returned outputs as shown on the page, there were no "Operation not supported" errors so i assume the kernel is configured correctly and the filesystem is mounted with the correct options.

[arch-general] Can't SSH into Arch VM until login screen is viewed
by Ben Booth 07 Jul '14

07 Jul '14

I have a weird issue I’m trying to figure out with Arch and SystemD, and I wonder if anyone here has run into this issue: I’m running ArchLinux as a Xen VM. Every time I reboot the system, I can no longer ping it or access it via SSH. However, if I go into the XenCenter UI and click the “Console” tab to view the VM’s login screen, all of a sudden SSH and ping works again. It’s as if systemd is waiting for the login screen to be viewed before it allows SSH to work. Is this some kind of systemd socket-activated functionality related to the getty service? How can I prevent this so that I can log in via SSH after reboot without having to run the XenCenter UI? Thanks, Ben Booth

by Csányi Pál 07 Jul '14

07 Jul '14

Hi, I just reverted my ParabolaGNUlinux into ArchLinux. First, I set the Arch mirror list. Then update the whole system: # pacman -Syyu Then replace the linux-libre kernel with 3.15.3-1-ARCH kernel. Then reboot, but grub 2 want to boot system with linux-libre kernel. I edited the grub entry so I can to boot the system with the new kernel. But, how can I generate the new Grub config? I tried followings: # pacman -S grub # grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg Still, when reboot, I get the Grub menu es it was before, when did using linux-libre kernel. What must I do to solve this problem? -- Regards from Pal

Hi! Sorry, it's OT for this list, but I didn't find an answer in the Internet. What's the syntax for a loop from "a" to "z" in dash? [rocketmouse@archlinux src]$ cat for-bash #!/bin/bash for str in {a..z} ; do printf "$str"; done printf "\n" exit [rocketmouse@archlinux src]$ cat for-dash #!/bin/dash for str in {a..z} ; do printf "$str"; done printf "\n" exit [rocketmouse@archlinux src]$ ./for-bash abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz [rocketmouse@archlinux src]$ ./for-dash {a..z} Regards, Ralf

[arch-general] odd problem with NetworkManager and wired
by Genes Lists 06 Jul '14

06 Jul '14

Haven't plugged an ethernet cable into my laptop for a while - today I did. Wirelss has been working flawlessly. Plugging a wire in however refuses to connect - the error in journal is: .. dhclient[30318]: execve (/usr/lib/networkmanager/nm-dhcp-client.action, ...): No such file or directory Which is correct. In fact the only script in there with dhcp is nm-dhcp-helper. When connected via wifi and checking to see what is running this script is used: ps -eaf | egrep dhcp root 605 555 0 18:53 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dhclient -d -sf /usr/lib/networkmanager/nm-dhcp-helper -pf /var/run/dhclient-wlp3s0.pid -lf /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-226bfd76-9c49-43fd-8dff-bf6e0809313c-wlp3s0.lease -cf /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-wlp3s0.conf wlp3s0 So the problem seems to only happen for the wired interface. I -know- this used to work fine, but unfortunately I have no idea when it stopped. Any suggestions how to get wired working again? I tried on 2 different laptops - same problem. Thanks for any advice. gene

[arch-general] Kernel: include patch for b43?
by Peter Mattern 05 Jul '14

05 Jul '14

Hello. As of Kernel 3.15 a long standing bug in b43 affecting the way it handles rather recent firmware started to become manifest in failure of the driver, see e. g. [0,1]. A patch is available [2] but hasn't made it into 3.15.2. A version of package linux I recompiled applying the patch works flawlessly, imho other workarounds like sticking with 3.14 or using older firmware are less reasonable. So I'd like to ask whether there are any chances to get this patch into the linux package. Attaching a file that can be used in prepare() the usual way (patch -p1 -i "${srcdir}/..."). Regards, Peter Mattern [0] http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/b43-dev/2014-June/003471.html [1] http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=183114 [2] https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git/commit/?id=2fc68…
