[arch-general] iTunes on Arch Linux
by Ralf Mardorf 20 Apr '14

20 Apr '14

Hi, on my Arch Linux host I run Windows XP as guest in Virtual Box. From one day to the other some Internet connections don't work anymore. If I try to connect iTunes to their server, there is no Internet connection. If I try to connect to https://startpage.com/ by a guest's browser, there's no Internet connection, while for http://www.google.de/ there is. https://startpage.com/ is available by the Arch Linux host's browsers. Another https website, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Secure is available by the guest's browsers too. What could be the cause, that for some things the Internet is available for the guest and for other things the Internet isn't available. Some Heartbleed fix or some missing fix? Safari's German message says that it can's connect to https://startpage.com/ , because it can't establish a secure connection. iTunes just nags that I should check, if there is an Internet connection. Unfortunately I need iTunes. Any ideas how to fix it or another way to run iTunes on Linux? Regards, Ralf

IBM Java has been used for many years previously. Some people claim better performance in the past.

[arch-general] lxc: systemd-udev-trigger resets host kbd & mouse settings
by Carl Schaefer 19 Apr '14

19 Apr '14

I've just started playing with lxc, and found that if I create a container with: # lxc-create -n arch -t archlinux and then start it: # lxc-start -n arch it resets my X keyboard map and mouse acceleration settings (which are set by setxkbmap/xset/xinput), though mouse button remapping done by xmodmap is not affected. I tracked it as far as the execution of: /usr/bin/udevadm trigger --type=devices --action=add in /usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-udev-trigger.service, which seems to write "add" to most of the "uevent" files under /sys/devices. I don't know the reason for this, especially in a container, but disabling the whole udev trigger service in the container keeps the host X input settings intact without breaking anything obvious in the container (and the container boots a lot faster now, too). I'd appreciate any thoughts on what systemd-udev-trigger is doing, whether it's appropriate in a container, and if there's a better way to keep a container from changing X input settings on the host.
