[arch-general] keyboard not working in Xorg after package updates
by David Rosenstrauch 13 Apr '10

13 Apr '10

I upgraded my extremely not-up-to-date server last night (523 packages upgraded). The upgrade generally went well, except for one significant issue: the keyboard is no longer working under Xorg. It works fine in a command line tty though (i.e., ctrl-alt-F1). Not sure what the problem is, as it was working before the upgrade, and I'm fairly certain I've got all the relevant bits installed and loaded, such as: * evdev module loaded * dbus daemon running * hal daemon running * xf86-input-evdev package installed etc. Perhaps related: I saw the following odd sequence of messages in the Xorg.0.log: (II) config/hal: Adding input device Power Button (**) Power Button: always reports core events (**) Power Button: Device: "/dev/input/event2" (II) Power Button: Found keys (II) Power Button: Configuring as keyboard (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Power Button" (type: KEYBOARD) (**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev" (**) Option "xkb_model" "evdev" (**) Option "xkb_layout" "us" (II) config/hal: Adding input device Power Button (**) Power Button: always reports core events (**) Power Button: Device: "/dev/input/event3" (II) Power Button: Found keys (II) Power Button: Configuring as keyboard (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Power Button" (type: KEYBOARD) (**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev" (**) Option "xkb_model" "evdev" (**) Option "xkb_layout" "us" Certainly sounds like that could be the cause, but I have no idea why that's happening or how to fix. Anyone have any ideas? TIA, DR

[arch-general] Apache dead after kernel update - make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:443 - (Solved by 2nd Reboot)
by David C. Rankin 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

Guys, I don't know what's up here, but I updated the system ( no [testing] ), and rebooted to load the new kernel, and http was dead. On start, the error said it couldn't bind to port 443 because it was already taken -- Huh? Here are what little details I could come up with: [23:28 nirvana:/home/david] # lsof -i | grep 443 [23:28 nirvana:/home/david] # apachectl stop httpd (no pid file) not running [23:28 nirvana:/home/david] # apachectl start (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:443 (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:443 no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs First time I've seen this one. The latest system update completed fine, so I should be up to date. Apache is: apache 2.2.15-2 php-apache 5.3.2-6 the kernel is: kernel26-2.6.33.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz kernel26-headers-2.6.33.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz I have a second x86_64 Arch box where the hardware and config is close to what I have on the problem box and apache it was working fine. I don't know what the issue was because the problem cured itself on reboot. This is just fyi in case anyone else experiences the same issue. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] KVM with larger console font set in rc.conf[was ...microscoic console font...]

Hi, lvm2/device-mapper 2.02.62-1 are now in testing: - minor upstream update (ChangeLogs below) - license fix: ('GPL') -> ('GPL2' 'LGPL2.1') Please test and signoff. Signoffs from users are welcome. Eric Version 2.02.62 - 9th March 2010 ================================ Add use_mlockall and mlock_filter to activation section of lvm.conf. Add default alternative to mlockall using mlock to reduce pinned memory size. Remove -rdynamic from static builds. Update checks for pthread, readline & selinux libs and link only when needed. Introduce makefile vars UDEV_LIBS, DL_LIBS, SELINUX_LIBS, STATIC_LIBS. Introduce makefile vars LVMINTERNAL_LIBS, READLINE_LIBS, PTHREAD_LIBS. Toggle configure help to print --disable-fsadm. Use $() instead of ${} consistently for all Makefile variables. Replace CFLOW_CMD only in make.tmpl and use it as variable elsewhere. Use $(top_builddir) for inclusion of make.tmpl in Makefiles. Fix autoconf warning about ignored datarootdir. Increase AC_PREREQ version to 2.61 (for AC_PROC_SED, AC_PROG_MKDIR_P). Handle misaligned devices that report alignment_offset of -1. Extend core allocation code in preparation for mirrored log areas. Rewrite clvmd init script. Remove lvs_in_vg_activated_by_uuid_only call. No longer fall back to looking up active devices by name if uuid not found. Don't touch /dev in vgmknodes if activation is disabled. Update lvm2app.h Doxygen comments and add lvm2app Doxygen config file. Update nightly tests and lvm2app unit tests to cover tags. Add lvm2app functions lvm_{vg|lv}_{get|add|remove}_tag() functions. Add dm_pool_strdup to allocate and copy memory in tag library function. Refactor vgcreate, vgchange, and lvchange for tag library function. Refactor snapshot-merge deptree and device removal to support info-by-uuid. Version 1.02.45 - 9th March 2010 ================================ Add --showkeys parameter description to dmsetup man page. Add --help option as synonym for help command.

This should be really fast, way faster than using a for loop to read each file.

If the loop will run only a few times it is ok but if the intended purpose is to run hundreds of times then it is better to find an alternative. Maybe you can try to replace the inner loop with something involving 'find ... -exec something' or some recursive grep and mix it with awk, I have found that it can be many times faster than using FOR loops.

[arch-general] Trying to get Brother HL2035 to work...
by fons＠kokkinizita.net 11 Apr '10

11 Apr '10

Hello all, I installed everything required to use the Brother HL2035 printer as described on the wiki: <http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Brother_HL-2030>. This all worked nicely, the printer shows up in Cups, but nothing gets printed... Trying to print a test page (or anything else) launches some processes: daemon 1678 1645 0 12:25 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/cups/filter/brlpdwrapperHL2030 16 anonymous Test Page 1 job-uu daemon 1679 1645 0 12:25 ? 00:00:00 usb:/dev/usb/lp0 16 anonymous Test Page 1 job-uuid=urn:uuid:d460eeb3-d9b9-32b7- daemon 1705 1678 0 12:25 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/local/Brother/lpd/filterHL2030 daemon 1733 1705 0 12:25 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/Brother/lpd/rawtobr2 -pi /usr/local/Brother/inf/paperinf -rc /usr/lo which remain until the job is canceled. In /var/log/kernel.log I found this which may be an indication but I fail to understand what exactly it means: Apr 11 12:33:51 zita1 kernel: usb 3-1: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usblp while 'usb' sets config #1 Apr 11 12:33:56 zita1 kernel: usb 3-1: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usblp while 'usb' sets config #1 Apr 11 12:34:01 zita1 kernel: usb 3-1: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usblp while 'usb' sets config #1 Apr 11 12:34:07 zita1 kernel: usb 3-1: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usblp while 'usb' sets config #1 Apr 11 12:34:12 zita1 kernel: usb 3-1: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by usblp while 'usb' sets config #1 lsusb produces: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 005: ID 04f9:0027 Brother Industries, Ltd HL-2030 Laser Printer Bus 003 Device 003: ID 046d:c018 Logitech, Inc.

[arch-general] Update Error - :: sysprof-module: requires kernel26<2.6.33 (is this a wait on the mirrors thing?)
