[arch-general] Complete virtualbox crash starting Archlinux guest after kernel + xorg updates
by David C. Rankin 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Guys, After updates today (kernel 3.2.13 and xorg updates) and rebuilding vboxdrv, virtualbox crashed at the grub screen booting an archlinux guest with the message it was a fatal crash and that logs had been prepare and the .png of the screen at the time had also been saved in the VM directory. This is the first time I've seen a crash of this type. Anybody else experience this? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Grub2
by Paul Gideon Dann 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

With the latest Grub2 (grub2-efi-x86_64 1:2.00beta2-2), it seems that grub- mkconfig is not picking up my fallback initramfs any more, so there's no fallback option in the boot menu. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way of fixing it? Thanks, Paul

[arch-general] kernel 3.3 & khubd problem/freezing failed
by Genes MailLists 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

linux 3.3 from testing - fully updated from test repo. I had plugged my cell phone in to usb - a few times in and out. After unplugging, I closed laptop lid - the sleep light which normally flashes then goes steady to indicate laptop is sleeping did not. I opened lid - and found khubd process at 100% cpu. In earlier kernels there were some problems with usb if I attempted to sleep a laptop with a USB device plugged in - but i thought there were some fixes to this problem. Anyway - this is what got recorded in system log: Where is the preferred place to report this? thanks! gene./ =========== system log for khubd problem ============================ Mar 20 18:08:55 lap3 kernel: [75845.892579] EXT4-fs (dm-0): re-mounted.

[arch-general] libgl conflict with ati-dri, intel-dri, mach64-dri, ...
by David C. Rankin 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

Guys, On update today of an i686 box, I get the following unresolved error with pacman -Syu: error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: ati-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2 :: intel-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2 :: mach64-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2 :: mga-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2 :: r128-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2 :: savage-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2 :: sis-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2 :: tdfx-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2 Is this just a timing issue with the dri files? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] fsck on each boot?
by gt 26 Mar '12

26 Mar '12

I recently added the fsck hook to mkinitcpio.conf after seeing it being recommended in the forums. I don't have a separate /usr though. Anyway, now after every boot i see: performing fsck on <root-device> It shows up clean, and happens in a flash of a second. So my question is that is the hook supposed to perform fsck everytime? Earlier (without the hook), it used to happen only on unclean shutdowns. -- O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org

[arch-general] makepkg/PKGBUILD - handle same files provided by 2 non-dependent packages?
by David C. Rankin 26 Mar '12

26 Mar '12

Guys, I need to know if makepkg/PKGBUILD can handle a check to see whether the same files provided by two different packages (which are not dependencies of each other) exist in the file system to prevent an installation failure due to conflicting files? The situation is this. Both tdesdk and tdesvn both provide: /opt/trinity/share/services/svn+file.protocol /opt/trinity/share/services/svn+http.protocol /opt/trinity/share/services/svn+https.protocol /opt/trinity/share/services/svn+ssh.protocol /opt/trinity/share/services/svn.protocol Since neither package is a dependency for the other, tdesvn needs to provide the files if tdesdk isn't installed and tdesdk needs to provide the files if tdesvn isn't installed, but avoid the conflict if both are installed. Is this possible? If they were dependencies of each other, then that would be an easy fix. If both were assured to be installed, that would also be an easy fix by rm'ing the files from one package or the other, but in the case when either or both can be installed -- How do you handle this?? Thanks for any ideas you have. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] aria2c left a mess on system
by Jude DaShiell 25 Mar '12

25 Mar '12

I've now cleared it off, but what had happened was a download of an iso with a torrent file and afterwards the iso had a unique inode it couldn't be checked with md5sum because md5sum claimed it didn't exist. I didn't even try it with the asc file since md5sum didn't work. Also the file command couldn't find the iso file either. This was the case for both root and a user doing the checks and the file permissions were set to 640 for both the root and user accounts yet neither could check the file. I've had situations with aria2c where it has crashed and died with exceptions on this machine in the past too. After all of that aggravation, I cleared the whole mess off my system and am about to deep six aria2c for good measure. The original bittorrent is no better and in many ways worse so if I do anything with that type of download again I'll either have to find me a 3rd linux alternative that can run from the command line or just use free download manager on windows to get it done. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jude <jdashiel-at-shellworld-dot-net> <http://www.shellworld.net/~jdashiel/nj.html>

[arch-general] Some synaptics multitouch functionality lost on upgrade
by Scott Lawrence 24 Mar '12

24 Mar '12

MacbookPro5,4. After an upgrade a few days ago, which included an update to xf86-input-synaptics-1.5.99.901-1, I've lost the ability to right click by clicking with two fingers. Interestingly, I can still right-click by /tapping/ with two fingers, and everything else is working unaffected (including two-finger scrolling). Any hints as to what triggered the change, and how to fix it? Various searches shed no light on this. Nothing interesting is in Xorg.0.log, xinput's output seems ordinary, and I don't see any options offered by synclient that would change this behaviour. Anywhere else to look? (I'm about to try enabling shmconfig and see what synclient -m gives.) (I'm not a fan of mtrack at all; I'd much rather get the input-synaptics stuff working properly again.) Thanks. -- Scott Lawrence Linux jagadai 3.2.9-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Mar 1 09:31:13 CET 2012 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8700 @ 2.53GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
