[arch-general] Audio distro
by Ralf Mardorf 19 Oct '13

19 Oct '13

Hi, sometimes I'm thinking about an audio distro based on Arch. I'm uncertain, if I'm really willing to spend my time to contribute to such a distro and I've got no doubts, that I don't have the skills to do it alone. I wonder, if other Arch users have this _secret_ thoughts sometimes too. IOW I neither plan to make such a distro, nor I'm sure if I've got the time to contribute or even if such a distro would make sense. Does other Arch users think about such a distro sometimes too? Again, this is just a question about "thoughts" (gedanken experiment). Regards, Ralf

[arch-general] ulogd fails to start - cannot find key `oob.in'
by Wayne S 19 Oct '13

I did a system update the other day with shorewall and ulogd installed. Now ulogd fails to start: Sat Oct 19 08:26:01 2013 <5> ulogd.c:375 registering plugin `NFLOG' Sat Oct 19 08:26:01 2013 <5> ulogd.c:375 registering plugin `BASE' Sat Oct 19 08:26:01 2013 <5> ulogd.c:375 registering plugin `IP2STR' Sat Oct 19 08:26:01 2013 <5> ulogd.c:375 registering plugin `PRINTPKT' Sat Oct 19 08:26:01 2013 <5> ulogd.c:375 registering plugin `LOGEMU' Sat Oct 19 08:26:01 2013 <7> ulogd.c:741 cannot find key `oob.in' in stack Sat Oct 19 08:26:01 2013 <8> ulogd.c:1234 not even a single working plugin stack Looking at ulogd package changes shows: -plugin="/usr/lib/ulogd/ulogd_inppkt_ULOG.so" +plugin="/usr/lib/ulogd/ulogd_inppkt_NFLOG.so" Comparing the difference between ULOG.so and NFLOG.so indicates that the 'oob.in' key does not exist in NFLOG but does exist in ULOG, for example: # ulogd --info /usr/lib/ulogd/ulogd_inppkt_ULOG.so Name: ULOG Config options: Var: bufsize (Integer, Default: 150000) Var: nlgroup (Integer, Default: 32) Var: rmem (Integer, Default: 131071) Var: numeric_label (Integer, Default: 0) Input keys: Input plugin, No keys Output keys: Key: raw.mac (raw data) Key: raw.pkt (raw data) Key: raw.pktlen (unsigned int 32) Key: raw.pktcount (unsigned int 32) Key: oob.prefix (string) Key: oob.time.sec (unsigned int 32) Key: oob.time.usec (unsigned int 32) Key: oob.mark (unsigned int 32) Key: oob.in (string) Key: oob.out (string) Key: oob.hook (unsigned int 8) Key: raw.mac_len (unsigned int 16) Key: oob.family (unsigned int 8) Key: oob.protocol (unsigned int 16) Key: raw.label (unsigned int 8) # ulogd --info /usr/lib/ulogd/ulogd_inppkt_NFLOG.so Name: NFLOG Config options: Var: bufsize (Integer, Default: 150000) Var: group (Integer, Default: 0) Var: unbind (Integer, Default: 1) Var: bind (Integer, Default: 0) Var: seq_local (Integer, Default: 0) Var: seq_global (Integer, Default: 0) Var: numeric_label (Integer, Default: 0) Var: netlink_socket_buffer_size (Integer, Default: 0) Var: netlink_socket_buffer_maxsize (Integer, Default: 0) Var: netlink_qthreshold (Integer, Default: 0) Var: netlink_qtimeout (Integer, Default: 0) Input keys: Input plugin, No keys Output keys: Key: raw.mac (raw data) Key: raw.pkt (raw data) Key: raw.pktlen (unsigned int 32) Key: raw.pktcount (unsigned int 32) Key: oob.prefix (string) Key: oob.time.sec (unsigned int 32) Key: oob.time.usec (unsigned int 32) Key: oob.mark (unsigned int 32) Key: oob.ifindex_in (unsigned int 32) Key: oob.ifindex_out (unsigned int 32) Key: oob.hook (unsigned int 8) Key: raw.mac_len (unsigned int 16) Key: oob.seq.local (unsigned int 32) Key: oob.seq.global (unsigned int 32) Key: oob.family (unsigned int 8) Key: oob.protocol (unsigned int 16) Key: oob.uid (unsigned int 32) Key: oob.gid (unsigned int 32) Key: raw.label (unsigned int 8) Key: raw.type (unsigned int 16) Key: raw.mac.saddr (raw data) Key: raw.mac.addrlen (unsigned int 16) Key: raw (raw data) Reverting ulogd.conf file to use ULOG instead of NFLOG, allows ulogd to run, but NFLOG is probably what is in the kernel, hence this change does log anything. Any suggestions on getting NFLOG to work? Wayne

[arch-general] Add gdbm and db to [multilib]?
by Dylan Cali 18 Oct '13

18 Oct '13

Hey guys, The [core] packages gdbm and db are not also available in [multilib]. This has the side effect, for example, of not being able to create a 32bit Perl using perlbrew. There are versions available in the AUR (which are orphaned and need to be updated), but instead of updating the AUR versions does it instead make sense to bring these into the official [multilib], as they're fairly core libraries? Thanks, Dylan

I am trying this now and it seems to be a bit buggy and not really ready for prime time. I used it to connect to local wifi - worked fine. Left my laptop and returned a couple hours later. I am still connected - and the hover pop up shows the connection and correct SSID. However clicking the applet no longer shows an active connection section. No way to disconnect. There is a previous connection (also no 'unknown connections' section) but it had nothing useful (just a connection out of my list not used for years). After a few minutes the SSID I was connected to showed up in the 'previous connections' section - with a button to 'connect'. Clicking that, the connection was killed and re-establihsed and the 'active connections' section re-appeaed with the connected SSID now visible. The unkown connection section also re-appeared. For those not yet using this you may want to wait a while until it matures more. gene >

[arch-general] truecrypt, loop and /etc/modules-load.d/truecrypt.conf
by John Davis 17 Oct '13

17 Oct '13

Hello I used the wikipage to address the problem where loop module does not load. Here is the relevant page. === Failed to set up a loop device === If you get a message "Failed to set up a loop device" when trying to create/mount a TrueCrypt volume, it may be because you updated your kernel recently without rebooting. Rebooting should fix this error. Otherwise, check if ''loop'' has been loaded as kernel module: $ lsmod | grep loop If not listed, retry the TrueCrypt command after {{ic|modprobe loop}}. Should it work, consider to add ''loop'' to the modules in {{ic|/etc/modules-load.d}}: # tee /etc/modules-load.d/truecrypt.conf <<< "loop" {{Note|As of udev 181-5, the loop device module is no longer auto-loaded, and the procedure described here is necessary.}} I am using a stock kernel. I tried to use sudo to run truecrypt and it failed to setup a loop device. I did a check of lsmod output and loop was not loaded after I made the truecrypt.conf change. After I modprobe loop by hand truecrypt would work and the encrypted drive would be mounted on /mnt/truecrypt1. Is there something which needs to edited to the wiki page regarding truecrypt.conf? It does not seem to work, and it seems that manually loading the module is required. -- John F. Davis 6 Kandes Court Durham, NC 27713 919-888-8358 独树一帜

[arch-general] How to show (kernel) messages by journalctl?
by Ralf Mardorf 14 Oct '13

14 Oct '13

Hi, yesterday I rebooted at 17:51 from linux 3.11.4-1 to linux-rt 3.10.14_rt9-1 and then shut down at 17:55. How can I get log data, kernel messages of this startup? This is all I get: [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ journalctl -a --since "2013-10-12 17:50:00" --until "2013-10-12 18:00:00" -- Logs begin at Wed 2013-08-28 22:06:09 CEST, end at Sat 2013-10-12 20:36:06 CEST. -- Oct 12 17:51:10 archlinux systemd[579]: Stopping Default. [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ A log in for rt kernels 3.10.x doesn't work on my machine, rt kernels 3.8.x don't cause this issue. During shutdown and startup there were much more messages, than just "Oct 12 17:51:10 archlinux systemd[579]: Stopping Default." [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ journalctl -k -- Logs begin at Wed 2013-08-28 22:06:09 CEST, end at Sat 2013-10-12 20:36:06 CEST. -- JFTR there are no .xsession-errors.old for the attempt to log in.

Hi, this is my configuration: $ cat /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf mailer = "/usr/bin/postfix" Running: # logwatch --debug 5 shows the familiar output. But running: # /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch does not deliver output to root or forwarded to myself.

[arch-general] Moving kpovmodeler and kgraphviewer to unsupported
by Laurent Carlier 12 Oct '13

12 Oct '13

I plan to move both packages to unsupported: * kpovmodeler isn't maintained upstream anymore and homepage is dead. it doesn't work anymore with upstream povray with third party patches. (see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36352) * kgraphviewer isn't maintained upstream anymore except cosmetic patches, and will not work with graphviz-2.34.0 in staging without deep changes. -- Laurent Carlier ArchLinux Developer http://www.archlinux.org

There are several "tricks" you can use to get networking from wifi to a guest. VMWare (Workstation) uses NAT by default, turning your computer into a gateway router and creating a virtual bridge. This can be done in linux, just google "iptables nat". You could also (in theory, at least) pass your wifi card hardware through to the guest. It would only allow one guest to connect at a time, but this may be acceptable ib your use case, I don't know. If you need more help with Xen configuration, there is a very helpful Xen mailing list called xen-users. You'd get more Xen help there than on arch-general, I think. --- --John "Sean" Greenslade
