[arch-general] What? - NO 'p' in dmraid-1.0.0.rc15-8 anymore?
by David C. Rankin 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Listmates, After going through the testing process with dmraid-1.0.0.rc15 where the biggest change for users was the addition of the 'p' in the /dev/mapper/raidname_device_partx naming convention, the last update warns that you must now *remove* the 'p' from fstab, etc.. What's up? Will we have to add the 'p' again next week? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] /etc/resolv.conf continuously wiped since yesterday
by Caleb Cushing 28 Jul '09

since a reboot/updates yesterday my /etc/resolv.conf has been getting wiped (when it happens I lose all dns). I don't know why. does anyone have any ideas what might be going on? # A sample configuration for dhcpcd. # See dhcpcd.conf(5) for details. # Inform the DHCP server of our hostname for DDNS. hostname # A list of options to request from the DHCP server. # Most distributions have NTP support. option ntp_servers # Behave nicely on networks and respect their MTU. # However, a lot of buggy DHCP servers set invalid MTUs so this is not # enabled by default. #option interface_mtu # A ServerID is required by RFC2131. # Some broken DHCP servers do not send one and dhcpcd can work without it. # Some broken DHCP servers NAK incorrectly and do not include a ServerID either so # the default is to require a ServerID. require dhcp_server_identifier # A hook script is provided to lookup the hostname if not set by the DHCP # server, but it should not be run by default. nohook lookup-hostname noipv4ll -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com

[arch-general] Cisco VPN config
by Rafa Griman 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi :) Got a Cisco VPN connection with my office, but can't manage to get it running. I've seen that there's a: - vpnc package: installed it, but it doesn't import the .pcf file, says it can't find the file. - cisco-vpnclient: but it's out-dated I've been searching through the Wiki but haven't found any help on how to setup a Cisco VPN connection to my office. Anyone have a link or some tips they could share? TIA Rafa BTW Got the KMS + UXA running, seems I messed something up the other time I tried 0:) Thanks also for the kdmrc tip. -- "We cannot treat computers as Humans.

[arch-general] Where can I find the "boot" log to find out what failed on boot?
by David C. Rankin 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Listmates, Seems like a simple question, but I've searched /var/log and can't find a file that contains the boot history showing all the "fail" messages during boot. For some reason after the latest update, my i686 box showed a half dozen or so "fail" messages. I need to find the log of what died. The upside to this? This was my i686 box that would no longer start kde after the next-previous set of updates. Now kde4 starts fine again. Whatever failed can't be that critical because the box is functioning fine, but I still want to find out what failed. If the file is in /var/log, then I just flat missed it. I thought it would be daemons.log, but I found no fail messages. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] How do I re-create a DVD from the backup created by vobcopy?
by David C. Rankin 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Listmates, How do I re-create a DVD from the backup created by vobcopy? I have searched and I have read howto after howto and I still am stuck. Between ffmpeg this, dvdauthor that, qdvdauthor this to, I'm confused. I have written a script to properly prepare the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS directories and to parse the filenames and copy the vob files saved with vobcopy to VTS_XX_Y.VOB and place them along with the IFO files in the VIDEO_TS directory. I get that I'm missing the BUP files and that somehow dvdauthor is supposed to recreate them, but that is where I get stuck. When I try and use qdvdauthor, it tries to completely ffmpeg decode/encode the original vob files to another separate directory. Why? I already have the vob files under VIDEO_TS, they were just ripped, why decode and reencode them? Seems nuts. The files that I have from ripping are: 19:42 nirvana:/home/samba/video> find myvideo -type f myvideo/tmp/myvideo-001-preview-orig.jpg myvideo/tmp/myvideo-003-nav.log myvideo/tmp/myvideo-007-nav.log myvideo/tmp/myvideo-001-preview-zoom.jpg myvideo/tmp/myvideo-001-preview-clip2.jpg myvideo/tmp/backup.rip myvideo/tmp/ifo/vts_01_0.ifo myvideo/tmp/ifo/vts_02_0.ifo myvideo/tmp/myvideo-009-nav.log myvideo/tmp/myvideo-002-nav.log myvideo/tmp/myvideo-005-nav.log myvideo/tmp/myvideo-001-nav.log myvideo/tmp/myvideo-001-preview-orig.raw myvideo/tmp/myvideo-008-nav.log myvideo/tmp/myvideo-004-nav.log myvideo/tmp/myvideo-006-nav.log myvideo/tmp/logfile.txt myvideo/tmp/myvideo-001-preview-clip1.jpg myvideo/vob/009/myvideo-001.vob myvideo/vob/002/myvideo-001.vob myvideo/vob/008/myvideo-001.vob myvideo/vob/003/myvideo-001.vob myvideo/vob/006/myvideo-001.vob myvideo/vob/004/myvideo-001.vob myvideo/vob/005/myvideo-001.vob myvideo/vob/007/myvideo-001.vob myvideo/vob/001/myvideo-002.vob myvideo/vob/001/myvideo-008.vob myvideo/vob/001/myvideo-007.vob myvideo/vob/001/myvideo-005.vob myvideo/vob/001/myvideo-006.vob myvideo/vob/001/myvideo-001.vob myvideo/vob/001/myvideo-004.vob myvideo/vob/001/myvideo-003.vob I have moved and renamed the files to: 20:44 nirvana:/home/samba/video> find authdir/ -type f authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_6.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_04_1.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_05_1.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_06_1.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_2.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_02_1.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_03_1.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_07_1.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_8.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_02_0.IFO authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_3.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.IFO authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_08_1.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_09_1.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_7.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_4.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_5.VOB authdir/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB From reading, it seems that I now need to create the BUP files and then use mkisofs to create the iso and then burn with growisofs. How do I create the BUP files?? That's where I'm stuck. This has to be easy and staring me right in the face, but I can't see the forest for the trees. What say the dvd gurus? -- David C.
