[arch-general] libhpi.so in openjdk6 not in 7 or in jre/jdk 7?
by David C. Rankin 02 May '12

02 May '12

All, In building several packages, I ran across a configure error that libhpi.so was not found. Checking, I find the file on openjdk6, but not in 7 and no longer in jre/jdk 7.4 from AUR. Does anybody know if this so has been renamed/removed? How to handle the builds? Just use openjdk6 or is there a standard work-around that will allow building on jre/jdk 7 or openjdk7. I've googled, but I can find a useful link. If you have one, that's all I need. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Installing in VirtualBox - Screen goes black during installation
by Joshua Poehls 02 May '12

02 May '12

I started installing Arch in VirtualBox this morning but twice now the screen goes black at some point during (or right after) the package download step and never comes back. It appears that some activity is still happening, but nothing is displayed. If I do a full reboot the screen comes back but the install of course hasn't completed so I have to start over. Do I need to change some Display Settings in VirtualBox or something? I did tell it that the OS Type was Arch 64 bit. Thanks, -- Joshua Poehls

[arch-general] LibreOffice crashing on Dual Screen
by Vitor Garcia 02 May '12

02 May '12

Good afternoon, Libreoffice started crashing when I try to start it on the display :0.1, since the last update. I have dual screen Nvidia layout (using proprietary driver, separate X screens and disabled Xinerama). Starting libreoffice on display :0.0 works just fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- vgarcia@cae_nb01 Desktop]$ libreoffice (soffice:31950): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_screen_get_monitor_geometry: assertion `monitor_num < screen_x11->n_monitors' failed (soffice:31950): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_screen_get_monitor_geometry: assertion `monitor_num < screen_x11->n_monitors' failed The program 'soffice' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. (Details: serial 923 error_code 8 request_code 62 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is anyone having the same issue? I have checked on LibreOffice bugzilla, and there isn't anything like that. Should I place a bug there, or could it be something that might only happen on Arch? By the way, does anyone know how to switch displays? I'd like my big screen to be the :0.0, and not the smaller screen on the laptop. Best regards, Vitor

[arch-general] PKGBUILD "provides" not handled correctly?
by Norbert Zeh 02 May '12

02 May '12

Hi folks, I have just run into a weird problem. I have a machine that isn't too happy with the 3.3.x kernel series. So I'm running linux-lts on it, but that one is meant for servers, so isn't as responsive as one would like on a desktop system. So I've decided to throw a little PKGBUILD together that compiles linux-lts with CONFIG_HZ set to 1000 but is otherwise unchanged from the version in ABS. To ensure this tweaked lts kernel does not get inadvertently overwritten by a linux-lts upgrade, I've changed the package name in the PKGBUILD to linux-lts-local. I've added "linux-lts" to the conflicts/provides/replaces lists in the PKGBUILD to ensure that I do not install linux-lts and linux-lts-local at the same time and to ensure that all packages that rely on linux-lts continue to have their dependencies satisfied...or so I thought. Compiling the tweaked lts kernel and installing this kernel instead of linux-lts on my laptop with intel graphics works without problems. My office desktop is a machine with an NVIDIA card and I'm using nvidia-lts as my graphics driver. When trying to replace linux-lts with linux-lts-local using pacman -U, pacman complains that nvidia-lts requires linux-lts>=3.0.0 and refuses to continue. Now I'm confused: linux-lts-local provides linux-lts, and the version is 3.0.29-1. So why does pacman complain? Any pointers are much appreciated. Cheers, Norbert

[arch-general] Packages getting smaller?
by Brendan Long 28 Apr '12

Hi, I've noticed recently that a lot of upgrades have been making the total installed size go down. Has something changed in the packaging, like compressed binaries or a new version of GCC or something? I'm just curious. Brendan

[arch-general] Google Voice through iptables?
by Bill Sun 27 Apr '12

27 Apr '12

Hi, I just tried to use google voice to contact someone, after 2 'dialing sounds', I couldn't hear anything. After I stopped iptables, I can make phone calls via google voice successfully. I searched the web, and found 2 possible solutions: [1] and [2]. Then I added iptables rules according to their instructions, but none of them worked. Also, I noticed that my browser just kept trying to receive/send data to relay.google.com (Waiting for relay.google.com) How to configure iptables so I can use google voice with iptables enabled?

[arch-general] Flash Plugin Crash on gimp-lqr tutorial page
by David C. Rankin 25 Apr '12

25 Apr '12

Guys, Attempting to view the gimp liquide rescale tutorial page resulted in a flash-plugin crash in firefox. The site is: http://liquidrescale.wikidot.com/en:tutorial It looked as if it was going to play initially, but then I got the frowning lego. Can anyone confirm and let me know if this is a bug in firefox or flash. It looks like flash, but I can't rule out a problem in ff's implementation of the plugin. If it is a bug, can anyone tell if it is in the build or upstream? Thanks. It may also just be the page. I'm not good at debugging this type issue. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Why chsh behaviour differs from specified in manpage?
by Dmitry S. Kravtsov 25 Apr '12

25 Apr '12

Hi, Today I messed around with zsh and login shells and found a strange thing - when I try to change my own login shell - chsh forbids me to do this: $ chsh -s /bin/bash You may not change the shell for 'kravitz'. $ whoami kravitz So it states, that I can't change login shell for current user, but lets look at manpage: DESCRIPTION The chsh command changes the user login shell. This determines the name of the users initial login command. A normal user may only change the login shell for her own account; the superuser may change the login shell for any account. So this it's either a bug in chsh or in its documentation. Does anyone has the same problem? By the way, is it a typo in manpage: "for her own account"? Who is "her"? if we talk about user, there should be "his". But maybe I'm wrong, since english is definitely not my native language. -- Dmitry S. Kravtsov
