[arch-general] REG_RIP undeclared
by Lukáš Jirkovský 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Hello everyone, recently I've a problem building rawstudio-svn on x86_64. Unfortunately it seems that the problem doesn't lie in the rawstudio itself, because I'm not able to build any older revision which I was able to build before. The error is: application.c: In function ‘segfault_sigaction’: application.c:599:56: error: ‘REG_RIP’ undeclared (first use in this function) application.c:599:56: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in application.c:617:44: error: ‘REG_RAX’ undeclared (first use in this function) application.c:619:30: error: ‘REG_RBX’ undeclared (first use in this function) application.c:621:30: error: ‘REG_RCX’ undeclared (first use in this function) application.c:623:30: error: ‘REG_RDX’ undeclared (first use in this function) application.c:625:30: error: ‘REG_RSI’ undeclared (first use in this function) application.c:627:30: error: ‘REG_RDI’ undeclared (first use in this function) application.c:629:30: error: ‘REG_R8’ undeclared (first use in this function) application.c:631:30: error: ‘REG_R9’ undeclared (first use in this function) application.c:633:30: error: ‘REG_R10’ undeclared (first use in this function) application.c:635:30: error: ‘REG_R11’ undeclared (first use in this function) application.c:637:30: error: ‘REG_R12’ undeclared (first use in this function) application.c:639:30: error: ‘REG_R13’ undeclared (first use in this function) application.c:641:30: error: ‘REG_R14’ undeclared (first use in this function) application.c:643:30: error: ‘REG_R15’ undeclared (first use in this function) application.c:645:30: error: ‘REG_RSP’ undeclared (first use in this function) I did a grep on /usr/include and /usr/lib but nothing defines any of these. My guess is that the problem may be caused by a new gcc. I should note I already searched on google but without any success (most results were saying that instead of REG_EIP, REG_EAX and others the REG_RIP etc. should be used on 64bit systems). What do you think where is the source of the problem? Regards, Lukas

[arch-general] Boost
by Daniel Bumke 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Hi, Does anyone know what's going on with boost? It seems it was downgraded from 1.42.0 to 1.41.0 a while back, and hasn't been updated to the latest 1.43.0. I was going to build the latest on my machine, but if there's something wrong with it I might hold off or go with the older version. I know there was some talk about splitting it up; is that the reason? Daniel

[arch-general] Where have my 135 MB of memory gone?
by Evangelos Foutras 20 Jun '10

20 Jun '10

Hi everyone, This isn't exactly a serious issue, but it's something that's been bugging me for some time now. Today, after spending a few hours searching the Internet for information and trying some boot options (i.e.: setting iommu to stuff like noagp and noaperture,) I've decided to ask on this mailing list, hoping that someone more knowledgeable might be able to help me figure this out. I have 4 GB of memory installed on my Arch x86_64 desktop computer. The integrated graphics chipset is using 128 MB of those 4096 MB, along with another 128 MB from the sideport memory that exists on the motherboard. That should leave me with 3968 MB of usable memory. However, /proc/meminfo [1] (and `free -m') reports 3833 MB, which is 135 MB less than the expected amount. In `dmesg' output, I also see the following line: Memory: 3857352k/4849664k available (3481k kernel code, 787336k absent, 204976k reserved, 1790k data, 480k init) which says that ~200 MB are reserved. This doesn't match the 135 MB I calculated above, but could possibly include it. So, what's going on here? Where and how is my missing memory being used? Thanks in advance for any replies/suggestions. :) ---- [1] http://codepad.org/SGJbaS05 (/proc/meminfo contents) [2] http://codepad.org/6vgofmKc (dmesg output)

I *am* interested in getting pulseaudio into [extra], and created a more detailed plan of what to do: http://gist.github.com/444917 Any comments are welcome. I am willing to apply as a junior dev to get this done, should it be approved.

[arch-general] Slim login manager is logging everything
by Ananda Samaddar 20 Jun '10

20 Jun '10

I'm using Slim as my login manager and it's logging absolutely everything. Things like gstreamer and alsa errors. This is making the log file huge, of the order of 8 gb when compressed. Can anyone think of a solution? I could always use the hack of putting the logfile in /tmp but I don't want to do that. /var is not on a separate partition and I'm not prepared to re-partition my system. Obviously with such large logfiles I'm getting performance issues. I'm an XFCE user so I'd like to avoid kdm and gdm. Are are there any other alternative X11 login apps other than xdm that don't depend on GNOME or KDE if I can't fix my issue with Slim? thanks, Ananda

[arch-general] gnome only install - installing compiz pulls in kde4-runtime?? Why?
by David C. Rankin 19 Jun '10

19 Jun '10

Guys, First install with the 2010-5 dual net install on an i686 box. Kudos, install was painless. Only issue was I had my pkg/ dir on a usb stick and I couldn't get the installer to use it for install. I mounted it where it was supposed to be mounted according to the installer (don't remember exactly /src/core/pkg or the like). It couldn't find the core.blah package... This is the first install where I haven't install kde/kdm. For this install, I only installed gnome/gdm. I don't want kde4 within 10 feet of this box. I do want compiz installed. When I installed compiz, it pulled in kde4 runtime, the compiz-decorator-kde, kdelibs, etc.. Why? Can't I just have a gnome box with compiz? Can I uninstall the kde4 mess? -- David C.
