[arch-general] libnotify as optdepend in thunar?
by hollunder＠gmx.at 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

Hi there, today when I tried to unmount a thumbdrive in thunar I got an error message about missing libnotify. It worked after I installed it. Did I do something wrong or is it just missing in the optdepends array? Regards, Philipp

[arch-general] "pkgdyn" a set of scripts for analysis of ELF deps in pkgs.
by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

Hi, This is a set of draft scripts that I use to find/extract some data of ELF files from packages. For example: * Find all packages that needed inexistent shared objects because a soname bump in libraries. * Generate a report for all packages per repo that in case of soname bump , needs to be rebuild. * Find ELF files that are outside the allowed paths (for example ELF in /usr/share) * Find RPATH in packages, with a simple "awk" can generate a report etc. * Other task with "temporary data generated", but there are no scripts at this time, are only "at command line runtime". Can be easily construct with awk, of your preferer lang. It use files in analysis so, if a ELF needed a "soname" that are symlink, this are reported (tho only case here are courier-maildrop, just ignore it) http://archlinux.djgera.com.ar/pkgdyn/ Sample data and generated DB by "dynup.bash" is uploaded, extract in "pkgdyn" directory. The dyunp.bash can make DB from empty DB, or update the DB, deleting old entries and inserting news. Is in "public domain": so use it, modify it, copy it, no problem. Sugestions, improvements, dudes, write me. PS1: Exception here: (this report as missing, but is a "optdepend in community") extra/gnome-speech-0.4.25-1:NEEDED libespeak.so.1 PS2: All missing deps I already reported and many of [community] have been fixed. Congrats TU! Cheers, -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi ( djgera ) http://www.djgera.com.ar KeyID: 0x1B8C330D Key fingerprint = 0CAA D5D4 CD85 4434 A219 76ED 39AB 221B 1B8C 330D

[arch-general] Handling optional dependencies with pacman?
by David C. Rankin 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

Listmates, Is there a better way to handle optional dependencies than just manually creating a list and checking it against the current installed packages to see if you need to install them before issuing the sync command and having some of the packages reinstalled? Basically, after installing packages (most recently openoffice and gimp), I just cut-and-paste the names into a for loop and check the names against the installed packages with the query option to eliminate the packages that are already installed. For openoffice and gimp, the optional dependencies were: Targets (9): libwpd-0.8.14-1 icu-4.0-2 hsqldb-java-1.8.0.10-1 openoffice-base-3.0.1-1 babl-0.0.22-1 gegl-0.0.22-1 gimp-2.6.6-1 gimp-refocus-0.9.0-2 gimp-ufraw-0.15-2 Total Download Size: 172.88 MB Total Installed Size: 422.08 MB Proceed with installation? [Y/n] :: Retrieving packages from extra... <snip> Optional dependencies for openoffice-base java-runtime: adds java support libcups: adds printing support gconf: adds additional gnome support nss: adds support for signed files/macros pstoedit: translates PostScript and PDF graphics into other vector formats <snip> Optional dependencies for gimp gutenprint: for sophisticated printing only as gimp has built-in cups print support libwebkit: for the help browser poppler-glib: for pdf support hal: for Linux input event controller module alsa-lib: for MIDI event controller module <snip> Optional dependencies for gimp-ufraw gimp: to use the gimp import plugin for raw images cinepaint: to use the cinepaint import plugin for raw images So I then do: for i in gutenprint libwebkit poppler-glib alsa-lib cinepaint java-runtime libcups gconf nss pstoedit; do pacman -Q $i; done Which tells me: error: package "gutenprint" not found error: package "libwebkit" not found error: package "poppler-glib" not found alsa-lib 1.0.19-1 error: package "cinepaint" not found error: package "java-runtime" not found libcups 1.3.10-1 gconf 2.26.0-3 error: package "nss" not found error: package "pstoedit" not found So I then know I need to install: gutenprint libwebkit poppler-glib cinepaint java-runtime nss pstoedit. That brings up a couple of questions. First, for those packages I have reinstalled I notice "Total Download Size: 0.0 MB", so I know I'm not re-downloading, but is the package actually "reinstalling" where the config files with end up with x.pacnew packages?? Next, is there any wrapper for pacman that will catch the output in a temporary file and then grep for "Optional dependencies" and then do something like: while read line; do tmparray[$count]=(${line%%:*}) done < tmpfile And then do something useful with tmparray like compare it against the installed packages and maybe write it out in something like ~/tmp/pacman/optDeps$(date '+%Y%m%d')? Just checking to see if there is an easy way to avoid a few cut and pastes. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] kdemod3-complete install - many duplicates in kde menu
by David C. Rankin 24 Apr '09

24 Apr '09

Listmates, After installing kde3 with "pacman -S kdemod3-complete", I was rearranging and ordering the kde menu with 'kmenuedit' and ran across a number of duplicate entries created during the install. The following isn't a complete list, but probably catches 80-90% of the duplicate entries. The following were each duplicated one (or more) times by the installer in various places within the kde menu: KPalmDOC KPilot KNotes KArm KAlarm Kandy Xgnokii KNotes Dictionary KTnef Korn Kontact KDE Groupware Wizard I don't know who does kdemod3, but if it will help, I have gone through and removed most of the duplicates and sorted the kde menu into a few additional folders to get rid of the ton of files that were under 'utilities' and I have also moved all the packages in the catchall 'More Applications' and 'Lost & Found' folders to new homes in the menu. I have put a copy of the new ~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu on the web site if anybody wants to grab pieces from it or compare it to the original. http://www.3111skyline.com/download/ArchLinux/fixes/menus/applications-kmen… HTHs, if not, just hit delete... No troll comments necessary or appreciated. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Problem installing FreeNX from extra, can anyone else confirm?
by David C. Rankin 24 Apr '09

24 Apr '09

Listmates, There was a minor problem installing FreeNX and its dependencies from extra that resulted in the warning: "cp: cannot stat `/usr/lib/cups/backend/ipp': No such file or directory" In context the error occurred here: Targets (5): nx-common-3.3.0-2 nxserver-3.3.0-5 gnu-netcat-0.7.1-2 expect-5.44.1.10-1 freenx-0.7.3-3 Total Download Size: 3.61 MB Total Installed Size: 9.30 MB Proceed with installation? [Y/n] <snip install stuff> Generating keys ... passwd: unlocking the user would result in a passwordless account. You should set a password with usermod -p to unlock this user account. cp: cannot stat `/usr/lib/cups/backend/ipp': No such file or directory I don't know if this is a significant issue or not, I guess I'll find out, but I thought I would put the out to the list to (1) see if anyone else could confirm this; and (2) ask anyone familiar with the FreeNX package if this is anything to worry about.

[arch-general] Crud! Rebooted Can't Login - No Mouse or Keyboard with kdm??
by David C. Rankin 24 Apr '09

24 Apr '09

Listmates, I broke it! Was up and running in kde3 just fine, so I thought I would make sure all was good and rebooted. The box booted beautifully and the Archlinux kdm screen nicely appeared and I thought I was ready to rock and roll, but when I grabbed the mouse - it didn't move?? Then I tried typing my pw, and no characters (or dots) appeared? The I tried ctrl+alt+backspace to kill X -- no joy. Then ctrl+alt+F1, still no joy. OK, ssh into box and kill kdm, back to normal login. Now I'm scratching my head on what to check to get my mouse and keyboard back? Any ideas? >From Xorg.0.log, this is obviously the problem: (==) ModulePath set to "/usr/lib/xorg/modules" (WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or 'vmmouse' will be disabled. (WW) Disabling Keyboard0 (WW) Disabling Mouse0 Huh? They must have been there a minute ago what gives? I wonder how they got started last time? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] system-config-printer without executable?
by hollunder＠gmx.at 24 Apr '09

24 Apr '09

Hi there, I just tried the latest version of system-config-printer from [extra] and couldn't find an executable. It installs some stuff here: $ ls /usr/share/system-config-printer/ config.py cupshelpers.py debug.py ppds.py smburi.py Other users report to have a system-config-printer.py there but such a file doesn't exist on my system. Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Regards, Philipp
