[arch-general] pacman bug? (can't replace dir with file)
by Damjan Georgievski 28 Mar '09

28 Mar '09

Is this a known pacman bug (or a feature)? I tried to upgrade python-fuse and it errored out. /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/fuse_python-0.2-py2.6.egg-info is a directory in the old package, but a file in the new package. # pacman -S python-fuse resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts...

[arch-general] File notification question
by richard terry 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

Is it possible to set up a process( which notifies me via some sort of icon on taskbar try like email alert does) which monitors a particular directory on my computer and if a new file is added to that directory, triggers the alert? If so, if anyone can point me in the direction it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Richard

[arch-general] why QT-4.5.0-4 is compiled with exceptions?
by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

Hi I see that QT is now compiled with exceptions enabled. There is a reason for it? Searching in the forum, looking for why this change, I encountered only one old topic(2005) [#1]. (A discussion about it between phrakture and vicious) the C++ exception handling has been improved since those days?

Hi there, I'm investigating an error when attempting to build sonic visualiser 1.5 and we narrowed it down to the -zf option in the pkgconfig. Is this a bug in libid3tag or in my arch?

[arch-general] Seamonkey + Openjdk
by Javier Vasquez 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

Hi all, I have seamonkey installed, and its browser works great with the sun java plugin (the oji). I recently tried to migrate to openjdk, and I even installed xulrunner (I read somewhere it was a dependency although one could install openjdk without it). Seamonkey doesn't seem to recognize the IcedTeaPlugin.so plugin (about:plugins), whether xulrunner is installed or not. I've tried using different link names, and that doesn't work... Any hints (bellow I add the packets present, and the links)? Thanks, local/openjdk6 1.5-0.1 local/xulrunner 1.9.0.7-1 local/seamonkey 1.1.15-1 % ls -l /usr/lib/seamonkey-1.1.15/plugins/IcedTeaPlugin.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 2009-03-23 19:33 /usr/lib/seamonkey-1.1.15/plugins/IcedTeaPlugin.so -> /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/IcedTeaPlugin.so % ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/IcedTeaPlugin.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 61 2009-03-06 14:34 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/IcedTeaPlugin.so -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/IcedTeaPlugin.so % ls -l /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/IcedTeaPlugin.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 249K 2009-03-06 14:34 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/IcedTeaPlugin.so -- Javier

[arch-general] [wiki] Using File Capabilities Instead Of Setuid
by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 23 Mar '09

23 Mar '09

Hi people, I created a interesting article wiki page for the new libcap 2 (from Hugo Doria) package that are in [testing] now. It cover all [core] packages that have setuid-root (all works fine), and the xorg-server(*) from [extra]. I invite all those who want to work with other packages that use setuid in [extra] and [community] (*) Preliminary ideas/tips for Xorg that not are currently in the wiki page: For example if you have a nvidia card, and if the kernel module isn't loaded when X start, The Xorg will load it, and create the necessary devs files (/dev/nvidia0 and /dev/nvidiactl). So there are two ways to do this load the kernel module before startx, and create device files manualy, or assing two more capabilities to Xorg (not a good idea) The minimun capabilities required: setcap cap_chown,cap_dac_override,cap_sys_rawio,cap_sys_admin+ep /usr/bin/Xorg If grant to load kernel modules and create devices nodes (_bad idea_): setcap cap_chown,cap_dac_override,cap_mknod,cap_sys_module,cap_sys_rawio,cap_sys_admin+ep /usr/bin/Xorg * cap_sys_admin: Seems that running xorg under VirtualBox isn't needed. * cap_chown is required for chown the "devs tty" on X start/stop * cap_sys_rawio is for accesing to /dev/mem (this will be became obsolete for KMS [Kernel Mode Setting]) * cap_dac_override is for writing the logs.

I am testing using the devtools scripts I created the chroot according to the developer wiki:Building_in_a-Clean_Chroot modified the pacman.conf as follows: [CORE] Server = file:///home/CORE [EXTRA] Server = file:///home/EXTRA these point inside the chroot I built bcm43xx-fwcutter as a test and which succeeded I placed the package into /home/CORE in the chroot and ran repo -add CORE.db.tar.gz *.pkg.* to create the repo db file then trying to build the broadcomm firmware which requires bcm43xx-fwcutter I get sudo makechrootpkg -c -r /home/Build.Chroot/ building union chroot moving build files to chroot Setting PKGDEST in makepkg.conf Setting SRCDEST in makepkg.conf allowing 'nobody' sudo rights in the chroot mounting sysfs : /sys mounting procfs : /proc binding device nodes : /dev binding pacman cache : /var/cache/pacman copying mtab : /etc/mtab copying resolv.conf : /etc/resolv.conf starting chroot (/chrootbuild) ==> Making package: b43-firmware 4.150.10.5-1 any (Sat Mar 21 12:54:45 UTC 2009) ==> Checking Runtime Dependencies... ==> Checking Buildtime Dependencies... ==> Installing missing dependencies... b43-fwcutter package not found, searching for group... error: 'b43-fwcutter': not found in sync db ==> ERROR: Pacman failed to install missing dependencies. cleaning up mounts Moving completed package file to /home/SVN/repos/Projects/Desktop/extra/broadcom.firmware mv: cannot stat `/home/Build.Chroot/union/pkgdest/b43-firmware-4.150.10.5-1-*.pkg.tar.gz': No such file or directory Build failed, check $CHROOT_DIR/rw/build cleaning up unioned mounts shouldn't pacman have found b43-fwcutter packages in the chroot? Or am I missing something?
