Hi, I am running the x86 version of Arch. The recently updated wireshark segfaults on my machine. Here is the backtrace of the core file generated by gdb. (gdb) bt #0 0xb4e3731f in PyObject_IsInstance () from /usr/lib/libpython2.6.so.1.0 #1 0xb4e37bd7 in PySequence_Check () from /usr/lib/libpython2.6.so.1.0 #2 0xb67487e3 in register_all_py_protocols_func () from /usr/lib/libwireshark.so.0 #3 0xb5c5725c in proto_init () from /usr/lib/libwireshark.so.0 #4 0xb5c440ba in epan_init () from /usr/lib/libwireshark.so.0 #5 0x0808d22b in main () (gdb) Regards, mwnn

[arch-general] Read permissions on /var/log/auth.log being reverted
by E Wilson 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

Hi group When I make my auth.log file world-readable (big security risk), the system reverts it to unreadable by world. Could someone tell me what kind program/daemon is changing the permissions back and if said daemon has a log somewhere. I would like to shake its hand. something out of cron? This is Arch running in a hosted VM environment. Thanks E Wilson (New Linux and Arch User)

The usage message also mentions pkgbase, so this would be expected behavior.

[arch-general] How to convert a 32-bit system to 64-bit?
by Lauri Niskanen 05 Sep '10

05 Sep '10

I have a working 32-bit Arch Linux server. It's more like a testing playground than a production server. I decided to convert it to a 64-bit system. I could reinstall Arch, but is there any easier way to do the "upgrade"? I'd like to retain my list of applications, configuration and user files. -- Ape <Lauri Niskanen>

[arch-general] X11 crashes after pacman -Syu
by Samuel Baldwin 04 Sep '10

04 Sep '10

I recently updated my system with pacman -Syu; everything worked fine, but since I've rebooted the machine, running 'startx' causes X to start, I see the 'nvidia' logo flash, and then crash. I updated 'nvidia', but now when it starts it complains of being unable to allocate DMA memory and aborts. My Xorg.0.log is here: http://sprunge.us/GOLS -- Samuel Baldwin - logik.li

There could be false positives, of course. ===begin list=== *SNIP* > jython Actually, this doesn't need a rebuild at all. jython doesn't rely on the C implementation of Python for anything. It made the rebuild list, because some of the files in its standard library start with #!/usr/bin/python lines. Should I just flag it as done? *SNIP* > python-foolscap This one installs things under /usr/lib/python2.6, so it doesn't belong in this list. *SNIP REST* ===end list=== -- Chris
