[arch-general] xinitrc.d framework
by Yclept Nemo 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

I hacked an "xinitrc.d framework". The details are at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xinitrc.d_Framework. I'm only one person, so I'd appreciate any comments.

[arch-general] Package update : hplip 3.11.1
by Rémy Oudompheng 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

HPLIP 3.11.1 was released several days ago : it includes support for new printers and scanning support for several printers (e.g. the one I bought last week, HP Deskjet 2050). I thought the package was not very critical so that I could update it directly in [extra]. I can at least print and scan (hp-scan still doesn't work with my printer, but scanimage does). Now you know who you can blame if your printer suddenly stops working at next update. -- Rémy.

[arch-general] Crazy devs....

I saw a pidgin update (2.7.10) and while downloading I thought I'd check the changelog. Go to pidgin.im, and the most recent version is 2.7.9. Its official, Arch Linux devs are faster than upstream! Shout-out to Ionut Biru and indeed to all the devs who make Arch Linux great =)

[arch-general] Trinity on Arch - I need a mentor
by David C. Rankin 09 Feb '11

09 Feb '11

Guys, My project to develop PKGBUILDs for Trinity on Arch has made good progress, but I have hit a couple of snags where I could really use an experienced mentor who is good with complex package builds on Arch. I have a current status on the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Trinity I'll do the heavy lifting, I just need someone to point me in the right direction and bounce ideas off of. Anybody interested in looking over the status and helping move me off high-center? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

[arch-general] makechrootpkg - not using cmake environment from PKGBUILD - help?
by David C. Rankin 09 Feb '11

09 Feb '11

Guys, I am having 2 difficulties building in my archroot environment. I have created the archroot in /home/david/chbld/root. I have managed to build trinity-qt3, trinity-pyqt3 and trinity-tqtinterface in the archroot, but now when I start building packages that rely on the installed package environment, I am encountering errors: (1) The pkgbuilds use exports to set the cmake environment. eg.: export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/qt export CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/qt/include:/opt/qt/include/tqt this works fine in the virtualbox clean environment, but fails in the mkarchroot. For example, building trinity-arts: [100%] Building CXX object qtmcop/CMakeFiles/qtmcop-shared.dir/qiomanager.cc.o cd /build/src/arts-bld/qtmcop && /usr/bin/c++ -Dqtmcop_shared_EXPORTS -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -march=i686 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fPIC -I/build/src/arts-bld/qtmcop -I/build/src/arts-bld/mcop -o CMakeFiles/qtmcop-shared.dir/qiomanager.cc.o -c /build/src/arts-bld/qtmcop/qiomanager.cc In file included from /build/src/arts-bld/qtmcop/qiomanager.cc:23:0: /build/src/arts-bld/qtmcop/qiomanager.h:33:22: fatal error: tqobject.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make[2]: *** [qtmcop/CMakeFiles/qtmcop-shared.dir/qiomanager.cc.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/build/src/arts-bld' make[1]: *** [qtmcop/CMakeFiles/qtmcop-shared.dir/all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/build/src/arts-bld' make: *** [all] Error 2 Aborting... tqobject.h is right where it should be in the rw chroot structure: 20:20 providence:~/chbld/tbld/trinity-arts> l ~/chbld/copy/opt/qt/include/tqt/tqobject.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1139 Feb 8 17:49 /home/david/chbld/copy/opt/qt/include/tqt/tqobject.h The PKGBUILD I'm attempting to use is here in full: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/dt/trinity/arch/svn/dependencies/arts/PKGBUIL… Why is makechrootpkg not respecting the cmake environment variable for CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH?

[arch-general] awn-notification-daemon
by Simon Stoakley 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

Hi all, I'm having problems with the awn notification daemon recently. It was working fine up untill recently. I have managed to get it working again by downgrading all of the recent gstreamer update, but wont be able to look into it any further until later on today. The only other thing I have tried is to just downgrade gstreamer-python on it's own I'm not sure if this is a problem unique to me, an Arch problem, or an upstream one, but any ideas/pointers are appreciated Running x86_64 with an otherwise up to date system, gnome desktop & compiz. Problem occurs with, stock, -ck and -pf kernels *********** CLI output when awn called from CLI ** (avant-window-navigator:4068): DEBUG: Spawned awn-applet[4233] for "notification-daemon.desktop", UID: 1297152677, XID: 60817461 GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_debug_add_log_function: assertion `func != NULL' failed aborting... ** (avant-window-navigator:4068): DEBUG: Spawned awn-applet[4236] for "notification-daemon.desktop", UID: 1297152677, XID: 60817461 GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_debug_add_log_function: assertion `func != NULL' failed.............

[arch-general] Howto properly set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /opt/trinity/lib from PKGBUILD (postbuild)
by David C. Rankin 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

Guys, After building trinity-kdelibs, I need to create an entry and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /opt/trinity/lib. I manually created: '/etc/ld.so.conf.d/trinity.conf' containing "/opt/trinity/lib" and then ran ldconfig. That worked. What I need to know is how to properly do this from the kdelibs PKBUILD. I can do it by creating the file in $pkgdir, but is there a standard way to do it? Also, what about calling ldconfig after install? Is there a standard (post-install) snippet to add? Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

[arch-general] vbox PUEL: copy/pate Arch host - Arch guest not working: VBoxclient-all started
by David C. Rankin 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

Guys, I have setup Arch in virtualbox to provide a clean environment for the trinity build. Xorg+fluxbox for the environment. One problem I'm having is copy/paste between the host and guest does not work. I have the LinuxAdditions installed and shared folders (mounted uid,gid), X, flux, and copy/paste within the guest works fine, but I can't get it to copy/paste from host-to-guest or guest-to-host. xorg.conf is: 22:18 alchemy:~> cat cnf/vbox/linux-guest/xorg.conf # VirtualBox generated configuration file # based on /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "vboxmouse" Option "Device" "/dev/vboxguest" Option "CorePointer" "yes" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor[0]" ModelName "VirtualBox Virtual Output" VendorName "Oracle Corporation" EndSection Section "Device" BoardName "VirtualBox Graphics" Driver "vboxvideo" Identifier "Device[0]" VendorName "Oracle Corporation" EndSection Section "Screen" SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x800" EndSubSection Device "Device[0]" Identifier "Screen[0]" Monitor "Monitor[0]" EndSection ~/.xinitrc is: #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/VBoxClient-all & startfluxbox No display manager installed. I've been through https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox and updated a few areas, but I still couldn't find the trick for making host/guest copy/paste work. Anybody know a way to get this working. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
