[arch-general] udev slow to start up
by Ty John 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

Hi guys, I have a brand new computer and every time it boots it stalls for a while at "starting udev". Maybe about 10-15 seconds. Then when it gets to the part "Waiting for udev events to be processed" it then stalls for another 30 seconds or so. When I boot from the Arch install disk I don't get the problem so I'm guessing it's something to do with the version of udev or the kernel maybe. I have udev-165 and udev-compat-165 installed and I have also tried going back to udev-164 but it made no difference. I get this in dmesg after boot. I know it's my sata DVD drive so here is the output of 'dmesg | grep ata2' [ty@donna ~]$ dmesg | grep ata2 ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m1024@0xfe02f000 port 0xfe02f180 irq 22 ata2: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata2.00: ATAPI: TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223C, SB04, max UDMA/100 ata2.00: configured for UDMA/100 ata2.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen ata2.00: failed command: IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE ata2.00: cmd a1/00:01:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 tag 0 pio 512 in ata2.00: status: { DRDY } ata2: hard resetting link ata2: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata2.00: configured for UDMA/100 ata2: EH complete ata2.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen ata2.00: failed command: IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE ata2.00: cmd a1/00:01:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 tag 0 pio 512 in ata2.00: status: { DRDY } ata2: hard resetting link ata2: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata2.00: configured for UDMA/100 ata2: EH complete Other than those error messages and the slow boot, the drive seems to work fine. I have been able to read and burn discs with no problem. If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the update! But I'm doing something wrong... I put the custom Map entries in the /etc/texmf/web2c/updmap-local.cfg and run texhash (my custom map files are at /usr/local/share/texmf/.../) But running updmap-sys dont include the Map entries from updmap-local.cfg only from updmap.cfg In the header of updmap.cfg we have: ====== # 2) add your local map entries to the file # TEXMFLOCAL/web2c/updmap-local.cfg # and then call # tlmgr generate updmap # which will concatenate updmap-local.cfg to the end of the final # updmap.cfg. (You can override the local.cfg file location with the # --localcfg option; see tlmgr --help.) ====== I tried to put the file at TEXMFLOCAL/web2c/updmap-local.cfg but it dont work, and the tlmgr is not included in the arch distro (iirc all thing that tlmgr do are implemented or not needed by the packaging for Arch). For now I'm manually concatening the -local.cfg to the updmap.cfg. But I like to know if a more correctly way exist. If not, I think that changing the update msg so its says that a manually concatening of the -local files are needed can be useful.

Acabo de instalarme Arch 2010.05 desde cd y la verdad que me sorprendió muchísimo su dinámica para instalarlo (no es complicado con un poco de ayuda a la hora de instalar GNOME) y su velocidad, vengo de cansarme de Ubuntu (¿soy yo solo o hay alguna persona que note algo oscuro en Ubuntu?) y creo que me quedo con Arch. Un saludo a todos y ojalá que seamos más Darío

[arch-general] What about gallium on r600?
by Sergej Pupykin 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Hi, it works not worse than classic mesa on my RV620. I add --enable-gallium-r600 and modify package_ati-dri-git() in mesa-git PKGBUILD as it is already done for r300 (make -C ${srcdir}/build/src/gallium/targets/dri-r600 DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install) I test current (20101213) git snapshot. May be put it into testing and enable on next release?
