[arch-general] partition mount, strange entry in log
by gt 08 Mar '12

>From the past few weeks, i get this in the log during boot: kernel: [ 8.165927] EXT4-fs (sdb1): mounting ext3 file system using the ext4 subsystem kernel: [ 8.194637] EXT4-fs (sdb1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

[arch-general] archroot - proper way to Start Over? (rm -r $CHROOT/$USER)?
by David C. Rankin 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

Guys, What is the best way to clean a chroot without doing another mkarchroot? In the chroot I have /root and /david. With Trinity there are 2 different Qt dependencies that can be used Qt3 and TQt3. I have built a set of packages on Qt3, not I want to rebuild starting with TQt3. I don't want any stray dependency mismatches, so I want to start with a fresh chroot. I know I can just save my [local] repo and blow away the whole chroot and start over, but can I do just as well by deleting /david and then build my first package? Or, is it better to just start over with mkarchoot? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] sane - 'sane-config --libs' returns NON library information causing some CMake builds to fail - bug or feature?
by David C. Rankin 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

Guys, Ran into a big problem with sane 1.0.22-6 causing builds to fail due to the return of 'sane-config --libs' returning non-library flags which results in CMake botching the link config. From the sane-config man page: --libs Print the additional libraries that are necessary to link a SANE frontend to libsane. Currently, on arch, 'sane-config --libs' returns: 10:51 providence:~/bld/david> sane-config --libs -lsane -Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,--hash-style=gnu -L/usr/lib -lnetsnmp -lcrypto -lm -ldl -lv4l1 -lm -ltiff -ljpeg -lgphoto2 -lgphoto2_port -lm -lexif -lusb -lavahi-common -lavahi-client -lusb I don't know exactly why (I presume it has to do with the interpretation of the '--' information by CMake), but it results in run-together link strings: <snip> CMakeFiles/kscan-shared.dir/imgscaninfo.cpp.o -L/opt/trinity/lib -L/opt/tqt3/lib /opt/trinity/lib/libkio.so.4.2.0 -lsane-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,--hash-style=gnu-L/usr/lib -lnetsnmp -lcrypto -lm -ldl -lv4l1 -ltiff -ljpeg -lgphoto2 -lgphoto2_port -lexif -lusb -lavahi-common -lavahi-client /opt/trinity/lib/libtdeui.so.4.2.0 -lfreetype -lfontconfig /opt/trinity/lib/libtdesu.so.4.2.0 -lutil /opt/trinity/lib/libkwalletclient.so.1.0.1 /opt/trinity/lib/libtdecore.so.4.2.0 /opt/trinity/lib/libDCOP.so.4.2.0 /opt/trinity/lib/libtdefx.so.4.2.0 -ltqt -ltqt-mt -lXrender -lX11 -lz -lidn -lXcomposite -lICE -lSM -Wl,-rpath,/opt/trinity/lib:/opt/tqt3/lib: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsane-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,--hash-style=gnu-L/usr/lib collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Here the problem is the run-together: '-lsane-Wl'. What I need to know is this a "bug --or-- feature" on arch? Looking at the current sane in extra, this behavior isn't something that arch is configuring or patching. However, the string returned by sane-config --libs is the makepkg.conf string for $LDFLAGS plus the lib information for sane... What say the experts? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Xulrunner as makedepend while eclipse is installed
by Alexandre Ferrando 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

Because of [ 0 ] now eclipse and xulrunner packages conflict. I maintain two AUR packages [ 1 ] that need xulrunner at build time and I also have installed eclipse. I know building that packages in a clean chroot can be a solution but I'm afraid that is not what I can assume they will do about all users of the mentioned packages. Any idea of what could be done?

Andre, I haven't ran your program, but I looked at the code and wanted to say good job. I thought it was very clean and readable. Squall

[arch-general] arch-o-matic
by Andre "Osku" Schmidt 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

hello world, the day i saw that wiki page on how to manually install archlinux, i've been playing with ways to automate it. yesterday i got this -most likely not new- idea hacked together: https://github.com/oskude/arch-o-matic no readme, but the example and source should be pretty straight forward. (warning: the example does sgdisk /dev/sda --zap-all, among others "bad" things) just for fun .andre ps. yes, i'm aware of aif, just wanted to scratch an itch, post it and move along :P

[arch-general] qt applications over ssh tunnel: very slow redrawing
by Sergey Manucharian 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

Hi folks, Regularly I do not use many Qt applications, mostly Skype. I run it over ssh tunnel from another computer within the same local network for long time. After recent system update I noticed it became very slow refreshing its graphics. I checked several Gtk and Qt applications and found that Gtk ones work almost with the "native" speed, while Qt ones with that damn slow redrawing... I tried ssh with both "ForwardX11" and "ForwardX11Trusted" - there is no difference. I'm using no DE with xmonad WM (tried TWM - no difference either) in x86_64 box. Any directions/advices/ideas? Thanks! -- Cheers, Sergey

[arch-general] secure package signing related websites (was: Re: Keyring package for real)
by Christian Hesse 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

Hello everybody, (As I am not allowed to post to arch-dev-public resending it here.) ok, not really related to the keyring package, but it came to my mind when installing it and while signing the key: I think it makes sense to not allow pages related to package signing being delivered via http. Instead automatically redirect to https to avoid man in the middle attacks. First site that comes to my mind: https://www.archlinux.org/master-keys/ -- Best regards, Chris O< ascii ribbon campaign stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org
