[arch-general] Broken DBus
by Kacper Żuk 15 Apr '12

15 Apr '12

Hello, DBus broke for me after last upgrade [0]. I'm using testing repository and have: dbus 1.4.20-1 dbus-core 1.4.20-2 dbus-glib 0.98-1 dbus-python 1.0.0-1 but disabling it and downgrading (via pacman -Syuu) to: dbus 1.4.16-1 dbus-core 1.4.16-1 dbus-glib 0.98-1 dbus-python 0.84.0-1 doesn't fix problem (not entirely at least). On testing Gnome starts in fallback mode, chromium and wicd-curses says: Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 After downgrading, wicd-curses (which uses dbus-python) works fine, but other things are still broken. dbus-daemon is present in process list... What can be wrong, where should I look? [0] List of upgraded packages: http://pastebin.com/CYbTTaUQ Only: [2012-04-11 21:59] upgraded dbus-core (1.4.20-1 -> 1.4.20-2) looks suspicious to me, but downgrading only dbus-core to 1.4.20-1 doesn't change anything. Cheers, Kacper Żuk PS Sorry for my grammar...

[arch-general] EFI-Support (Arch on a MacBook Pro)
by Arvid Warnecke 15 Apr '12

15 Apr '12

Hello, I am planning to install Arch on my Late-2008 MacBook Pro in the near future, because I like the Arch Way and the BSD-style better. (I used to run FreeBSD for many years before I had to use Mac OS X. Hence the MacBook.) To get back to use Linux I installed Linux Mint 12, because it seemed simple. I now have one Partition with OS X, one for Linux and one small Swap. I installed rEFIt from OS X and then installed Linux Mint. What I have been wondering about now is, if it will be possible to install Arch without rEFIt and the Mac OS X at all? I read a lot in the wiki pages, but all I found was that if I install Arch only with EFI support I will have to install GRUB2. And on the page about GRUB2 I read, that I will have to bless GRUB2 from OS X... If that is necessary I might keep rEFIt and OS X as it is and only replace the Mint installation with Arch. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance, Arvid

[arch-general] A couple of surprises
by Guillermo Leira 15 Apr '12

15 Apr '12

Hello! Last upgrade of udev [2012-04-12 20:16] upgraded udev (182-1 -> 181-9) Makes my gnome-shell start in "alternate" mode. And last upgrade of consolekit [2012-04-12 20:26] upgraded consolekit (0.4.5-2 -> 0.4.6-1) makes that when I insert a DVD, I receive a message of error saying that the operation is not allowed (sorry, I was in a hurry and didn't copy the error message). Downgrading both of them solved the problems. Anyone else noticed this? x86_64 Guillermo Leira

[arch-general] Emacs is Broken!
by Steve Holmes 15 Apr '12

15 Apr '12

I don't know what happened lately, but I notice that emacs totally locks up on me now. It was working find yesterday before I did a major pacman -Syu this morning. Even if I move my .emacs out of the way and start up emacs, I get the welcome screen but then no cursor key movement. The only way I can get emacs to close is to kill it from another console. Any ideas? Anyone else experiencing trouble with emacs 23.4?

[arch-general] long list of "declare -x" statements on shell login
by Jayesh Badwaik 15 Apr '12

15 Apr '12

Hi, For the past few days, I am noticing that whenever I log into a shell terminal, I get a long list of declare statements at the login. Can anybody tell me what they are exactly? declare -x DISPLAY=":0" declare -x G_BROKEN_FILENAMES="1" declare -x HOME="/root" declare -x LOGNAME="root" declare -x OLDPWD declare -x PATH="/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin" declare -x PWD="/root" declare -x SHELL="/bin/bash" declare -x SHLVL="1" declare -x TERM="xterm" declare -x USER="root" This happens with every user. Also, there was an error about no file or directory gpg-agent.info. What does that file do? What should I do to remove that error? I right now just created an empty file by that name and there is no error now, but I suspect I should do something more? Thanks in advance -- Jayesh Badwaik

[arch-general] pypy errors
by Mike Sampson 15 Apr '12

15 Apr '12

Hello list, Anyone having trouble with pypy? I can't find anything on the mailing list or bug tracker. Running pypy for me gives: $ pypy 'import site' failed Python 2.7.2 (2346207d99463f299f09f3e151c9d5fa9158f71b, Feb 10 2012, 15:07:02) [PyPy 1.8.0 with GCC 4.6.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. debug: OperationError: debug: operror-type: AttributeError debug: operror-value: 'module' object has no attribute 'warn' I only use pypy when I am doing computationally intensive work so I'm not sure when this started happening. I have tried rolling back to pypy 1.7 and 1.6 with the same result. An strace is very busy and I can't see anything at first glance. I am running [testing]. Regards, Mike

[arch-general] Any way to revert chroot to gcc46?
by David C. Rankin 14 Apr '12

14 Apr '12

Guys, Is there any way to revert my chroot for building back to gcc46 immediately prior to this last gcc47 update? Obvious reasons - bug fixes required due to new gcc47 C11 & C11++ extension implementation, etc..., but I would like to continue building until the bugs are fixed. Is there a reasonable way to do that absent having to set up and point the chroot pacman.conf at a hand-built repo with just the gcc46 files in it? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
