[arch-general] Linux / mkinitcpio / vbox bug: bad swap file entry
by Dieter Plaetinck 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

while testing new images, I get this: http://users.edpnet.be/dieter/vbox-or-kernel-or-mkinitcpio-bug.png the error messages show up in google results and seem to be bugs in the Linux swap code and/or drivers. interestingly, at first aif/dialog/mkinitcpio/find just keep running, but after a while the processes just vanish. dmesg doesn't say anything about OOM killer, but i get login prompts where i used to have a terminal with aif/initcpio running. dmesg here: http://sprunge.us/YWQS any advice? i can probably workaround it by using more ram, but still...

[arch-general] Package building - Change name of finished package
by Baho Utot 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

I want to change the resulting package name in the PKGBUILD so I can support different sites on a server hosting many virtual websites using joomla. Example: Stock PKGBUILD pkgname=joomla pkgver=1.5.22 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="A PHP-based content management platform" arch=('any') url="http://www.joomla.org/" license=('GPL') depends=('php>=4.3.10' 'php-apache>=4.3.10' 'mysql>=3.23' 'apache>=1.3') provides=('joomla') install=${pkgname}.install source=(http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsrelease/12610/53421/Joomla_$pk… Stable-Full_Package.zip) build() { # Install Joomla files. install -dm755 "$pkgdir$_install_dir" cp -r "$srcdir"/* "$pkgdir$_install_dir" # Remove the symlink which points to the Joomla tarball itself. rm -f "$pkgdir$_install_dir/Joomla_$pkgver-Stable-Full_Package.zip" # Remove unnecessary permissions. find "$pkgdir$_install_dir" -type f -exec chmod 0664 {} \; find "$pkgdir$_install_dir" -type d -exec chmod 0775 {} \; } Produces a package named joomla-1.5.22-1-any.pkg.tar.xz I would like to change it to sitename=<some name> pkgname=joomla pkgver=1.5.22 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="A PHP-based content management platform" arch=('any') url="http://www.joomla.org/" license=('GPL') depends=('php>=4.3.10' 'php-apache>=4.3.10' 'mysql>=3.23' 'apache>=1.3') provides=('joomla') install=${pkgname}.install source=(http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsrelease/12610/53421/Joomla_$pk… Stable-Full_Package.zip) build() { # Install Joomla files. install -dm755 "$pkgdir/$sitename" cp -r "$srcdir"/* "$pkgdir/$sitename" # Remove the symlink which points to the Joomla tarball itself. rm -f "$pkgdir/$sitename/Joomla_$pkgver-Stable-Full_Package.zip" # Remove unnecessary permissions. find "$pkgdir/$sitename" -type f -exec chmod 0664 {} \; find "$pkgdir/$sitename" -type d -exec chmod 0775 {} \; } and have it produce: joomla-1.5.22-1-any-<sitename>.pkg.tar.xz Is this possible?

[arch-general] Where is $MAIL set?
by Nilesh Govindarajan 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

I'm using fetchmail and postfix to get mails into the spool. I changed location of spool in main.cf and login.defs but $MAIL still contains the value of /var/spool/mail/nilesh. I changed the spool directory in the configuration to /home/MAIL/. For now I'm working with setting $MAIL in ~/.bash_profile, but where's the global setting? -- Regards, Nilesh Govindarajan Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/nilesh.gr Twitter: http://twitter.com/nileshgr Website: http://www.itech7.com VPS Hosting: http://www.itech7.com/a/vps

[arch-general] How to get colorized output during prog compilation? ( Colorgcc doesn't color gcc output )
by Francesco Nwokeka 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Hi all. Like posted in this topic( https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=110301 ), my problem doesn't seem to be solved. Color gcc is not called by gcc and thus not colorizing the output of gcc. The funny thing is that if i call "colorgcc" directly when compiling some code, I get colorized output. It may sound stupid but this script helped quite a lot to point out warnings and to see immediatly where I went wrong. It's really a big help. Hasn't anyone else had this problem? Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem? gcc: gcc (GCC) 4.5.2 colorgcc: colorgcc 1.3.2-6 Thanks in advance, Francesco

[arch-general] liboost_python undefined symbols
by Ty John 03 Jan '11

Hi everyone. I posted this problem on the forums but it seems the regular forum users don't know what the problem is so I'm asking here. I'm trying to compile vegastrike-svn and it fails complaining about undefined symbols in /usr/lib/libboost_python.so See ldd results below. Is this a problem with my system or is it a problem the boost-libs package?

[arch-general] New script to backup source code from abs
by Christopher Rogers 02 Jan '11

02 Jan '11

I been looking for a way to backup source for sometime. Like a dvd iso disc. I started to look for away to do this after seeing 2012. It got me thinking of how to rebuild a compete archlinux system. This would also help us with are world domination plans. Joking aside, here is the script below: http://arch-live.isawsome.net/devel/backup-src.sh My script uncompresses the source code archives and re-compress them has $pkgname-$pkgver-$pkgrel.src.tar.lzma. I put the newer files in $SRCDEST/$repo folder. This makes it easier to find. It example below backups up all sources of extra repo in /var/abs/extra folder. ./backup-src.sh extra example below backups just abs source folder in /var/abs/extra. Including the abs archive uncompressed in abs/src folder. ./backup-src.sh extra abs I have seen some good compressing improvement when everything is re-compressed as .tar.lzma. For example chromium: chromium original archive is 130mb chromium re-compressed with .tar.lzma is 101.1mb You can extra the newer archives and build with 'makepkg -e'. I hope this helps.

[arch-general] ArchStudio
by Bernardo Barros 01 Jan '11

01 Jan '11

Hello everyone! I set up a repository based on a modified version of ArchAudio, with some of my stuff and lots of PKGBUILDs from AUR's contributors. Hope this helps to update and maintain ArchAudio alive and updated. Just source for now, no binaries. It is a hg repo, so it can also be hosted inBitBucket and Google Code, and can be easily forked, hacked and pushed back. The contribution work can be much easier this way, I think. The initial idea is not _necessarily_ to replace ArchAudio repo binaries, but set up a pool for development of the most updated and new in terms of professional audio packages for ArchLinux. https://bitbucket.org/smoge/archstudio Happy New Year!

[arch-general] [core/filesystem 2010.10-1 -> 2010.12-1] breaks makepkg and firefox
by Martín Cigorraga 30 Dec '10

30 Dec '10

Dear devs, guys: I've been struggling for the past three days trying to find what was breaking makepkg [0] script and preventing Firefox to launch. Thanks I do weekly backups of my system I found after trial & error -updating one package at a time- the responsable is the core/filesystem package. Is anyone else suffering this? I already tried to look for info in www.archlinux.org/packages but it's not listed there. Should I open a new ticket at the bugtracker? Thanks for any advice. 0. Here are some logs: makepkg output after installing new filesystem 2010.12-1: http://aur.pastebin.com/VzRUu6yN /etc/makepkg.conf (untouched): http://aur.pastebin.com/RnqjbYaX last pacman's log with filesystem 2010.12-1 package installed: http://aur.pastebin.com/rZtXgifP
