[arch-general] libreoffice/cups print timeout - after fist few minutes can no longer print
by David C. Rankin 13 Apr '12

13 Apr '12

Guys, I have noticed a problem in libreoffice for the past several months where nothing will print after the libre has been open for a couple of minutes. If you print right after you start libre office, everything prints just fine, but if you leave the document open for 5 minutes or so (could be as short as 2 minutes) nothing will print and you can no longer see your printers in File -> Printer Settings. If you shutdown Libre and restart it, you can print again for the first couple of minutes and then the same 'no print' problem occurs again. This has occurred in 3.4 and continues in 3.5. Has anyone else seen this behavior?? I feels like there is some type of timeout that occurs between cups and libre that causes this, but there is nothing in any of the logs in /var/log. This affects both LibreOffice and ApacheOpenOffice, so it looks to be a problem in the common codebase. I have reported the issue to Libre at freedesktop.org, but nothing has been done there. Also, all other apps, kde, etc.. continue to print just fine. Can anyone thing of additional tests that might be able to help diagnose what is happened? There have been some previous writeups, but no solutions: eg: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/libreoffice-3-4-2-… When the problem occurs - all lpstat information shows all the printers still ready and willing to print. The is consistent with the fact you can still print from everything accept Libre and Apache Office. Seen it? Thoughts? Fixes? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Regressions with X and dbus (maybe?)
by G. Schlisio 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Hello all, since the last update today, my X server does not start on startup, i have to start it manually. after that, a lot of things dont work, such as network (wicd), audio (alsa, no pulseaudio!). attempting to start dbus needs me to remove the pidfile first, then it starts without errors, but crashes again instantly. some hopefully useful information: linux 3.2, kde-4.8.2, fully updated system help pretty much appreciated. georg

hi all, i received the attached message. I don't know much about email headers but it seems to have all the headers as if posted from arch linux servers. Furthermore the address gerolde.archlinux.org points to an irrelevant page. George Nikolopoulos

[arch-general] Need help understanding new "make install" failures - libtool: install: error: relink `blah...la' ??
by David C. Rankin 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Guys, After the latest updates, I'm getting a number of package() "make install" failures on packages that have, until now, packaged just fine. Is anybody else experiencing this on packages you build? If so, do you know what is causing it -- and how to fix? I've searched and found that sometimes reordering the link commands in the Makefile can help, but I can't figure out why things have packaged just fine up until now and are now failing. Since everything built fine with the build() command -- why the failure on package()?? I've also read another solution is to do away with the .la files completely and replace with a package config setup. However, before I try and tackle something like that, I want to figure out what broke. The failures during "make install" look like this (gwenview and tdegames examples:) the failure: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltdeinit_gwenview collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status libtool: install: error: relink `gwenview.la' with the above command before installing it the preceding context: libtool: relink: g++ -fPIC -DPIC -shared -nostdlib /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0/../../../../lib/crti.o /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0/crtbeginS.o .libs/gwenview_dummy.o -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/opt/trinity/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/opt/tqt3/lib -L/build/src/gwenview/src/gvcore/.libs -L/opt/trinity/lib -L/opt/tqt3/lib -L/usr/lib/mysql -L/usr/X11R6/lib64 -L/build/pkg/opt/trinity/lib -ltdeinit_gwenview -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0/../../../../lib -lgwenviewcore -ltdeprint -lkmediaplayer -ljpeg -lexiv2 -lkipi -lkio -ltdeui -ltdecore -L/build/pkg/usr/lib -lkutils -L/build/pkg/opt/tqt3/lib -ltqt-mt -lpq -lmysqlclient -lXrender -lXrandr -lXcursor -lXinerama -lXft -lfreetype -lfontconfig -ldl -lpng -lz -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE -ltqt -lpthread -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0 -L/lib/../lib -L/usr/lib/../lib -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0/../../.. -lstdc++ -lm -lc -lgcc_s /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0/crtendS.o /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0/../../../../lib/crtn.o -O2 -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,--allow-shlib-undefined -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z -Wl,relro -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -Wl,-soname -Wl,gwenview.so -o .libs/gwenview.so libtdeinit_gwenview is right where it should be: 23:42 archangel:/dat_e/chroot/david/build/src/gwenview> find . -name "libtdeinit_gwenview*" ./src/app/libtdeinit_gwenview.la ./src/app/.libs/libtdeinit_gwenview.lai ./src/app/.libs/libtdeinit_gwenview.soT ./src/app/.libs/libtdeinit_gwenview.so ./src/app/.libs/libtdeinit_gwenview.la The tdegames failure (all in order): libtool: relink: g++ -fPIC -DPIC -shared -nostdlib /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0/../../../../lib/crti.o /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0/crtbeginS.o .libs/kolf_dummy.o -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/opt/trinity/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/opt/tqt3/lib -L/build/src/tdegames/kolf/.libs -L/build/src/tdegames/libtdegames/.libs -L/opt/trinity/lib -L/opt/tqt3/lib -L/build/pkg/opt/trinity/lib -ltdeinit_kolf -lkolf -ltdegames -lkdnssd -ltdeprint -lkio -lartskde -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0 -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0/../../../../lib -L/lib/../lib -L/usr/lib/../lib -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0/../../.. -lstdc++ -lm -lc -lgcc_s /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0/crtendS.o /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.0/../../../../lib/crtn.o -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z -Wl,relro -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -Wl,-soname -Wl,kolf.so -o .libs/kolf.so /build/src/tdegames/kolf/.libs/libkolf.so: file not recognized: File truncated collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status libtool: install: error: relink `kolf.la' with the above command before installing it make[3]: *** [install-tdeinitLTLIBRARIES] Error 1 make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c -p .libs/libkolf.so.1.2.0T /build/pkg/opt/trinity/lib/libkolf.so.1.2.0 libtool: install: (cd /build/pkg/opt/trinity/lib && { ln -s -f libkolf.so.1.2.0 libkolf.so.1 || { rm -f libkolf.so.1 && ln -s libkolf.so.1.2.0 libkolf.so.1;

[arch-general] usb disk not visible
by Andrea Crotti 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

I have a problem with an external USB disk here, which is a WD 500Gb bought last year. Recently I decided finally to format it to ext3, since I'm using Linux everywhere, but now I don't seem to see it from my dell latitude. On my mini dell everything works perfectly, but on the latitude I get only this from dmesg [ 8916.825474] usb 2-1.2: USB disconnect, device number 11 [ 8917.013895] usb 2-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 12 using ehci_hcd [ 8919.126604] usb 2-1.2: USB disconnect, device number 12 [ 8919.314274] usb 2-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 13 using ehci_hcd and fdisk doesn't detect anything: [andrea@dell]$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb Any idea of what it could be?
