Hello everyone,

I've been very busy with college work over the past few days, so haven't 
been able to look after x86_64. I should be back in full swing on 
Monday/Tuesday. Sorry about that.

Message-ID: <200610081434.58579.pierre@archlinux.de>

Hi all,

some days ago I had to reinstall my Arch, so I decieded to give arch64 a try. 
It`s working great and I think this will be the future of Arch.

But what I really missed is the ability to run 32bit-apps. I do not understand 
why the devs do not want this. But as I did not want to discuss about this, I 
just created some packages which allows me to start 32bit-apps within Arch64 
(not using chroot etc.)

To make things very easy I did not set up a crosscompiler etc.. Instead I used 
the packages from arch32. All libs are installed to /opt/lib32, so it wont 
mess up your installation.

I set up a repository for testing:

[pierre]
Server = http://www.archlinux.de/~pierre/packages/x86_64

I got the following apps running:
* Doom3 (this requires:  lib32-glibc, lib32-libx11, lib32-libxau, 
lib32-libxdmcp, lib32-libxext, lib32-nvidia-utils, lib32-alsa-lib)
* Enemy-Territory
* Unreal Tournament
* Google Earth
* Opera (I only put it into the repository for demonstrating how it works)

What do you think about this?

Thanks. I'll probably make use of these packages in the near future.

Hi there,

I think it's a great idea. There is a few 'blockbuster' programs that
keeps me from running arch64 full time (Java and flash plugin and
Skype). I find this solution much cleaner than having to maintain an
complete 32-bit arch linux for chroot.

Cheers,

Nicholai

Just my thought

I think Skype should run (it is qt, isn`t it?). I will test it. Java runs fine 
with Konqueror. I will try to get the nspluginwrapper running you can find in 
aur. Then flash schould not be a problem anymore. (and you would still have 
64bit-browsers.)

As of now, there are no plans to make multilib an official part of 
arch64. However, I don't have any issue with it being a part of 
community. We do however have to make sure that this does not interfere 
in anyway with 64bit libs. I haven't tried your PKGBUILD's yet, and ill 
give it a shot in a few days. See you on #archlinux64

Yes, Skype uses QT. I gave the skype-beta-staticqt in AUR a try, but I got a:

% skype 
% skype: error while loading shared libraries: libXmu.so.6: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

Should I somehow specify (in the PKGBUILD) that prefix is (sort of
/opt/lib32) or how does is work?

I looked into nspluginwrapper as well but I'm having troubles with the
PKGBUILD. Some permission errors. I'll look further into that.

Cheers,

Nicholai

I got the shared one running. Just install lib32-qt (which has lib32-xmu as 
dependency)

Yes, putting it into community is a good idea. Perhaps I`ll try to become a TU 
(who wouldn`t trust me ;-))

There should not be any problem. The libs are all installed under /opt/lib32 
and this dir is just added to ldconfig. This should be quite clean.

Great, worked for me too. Nice idea with the lib32 meta package, makes
life a lot simpler.

Now back to nsdiswrapper,

Hmm, you mean the group "lib32"? I am not sure if it is right to put all libs 
in that group because people should not use "pacman -S lib32" ehich will 
install every lib. For skype you need lib32-qt and lib32-alsa-lib.

I will clean up this things and try to reduce dependencies. "namcap" seems not 
to be allways right ;-) 

If you know any other application you would like to run on arch64, just tell 
me and I`ll see if I can manage it. (I tried Adobe Reader yesterday, but I 
didn`t get it runnig because it wants to load libs from /usr/lib)

>
> Now back to nsdiswrapper,

This seems to be a bit more complicated, since it consists of one part which 
has to be compiled on arch32. Best would be two create two seperate packages. 
I`ll have a look at it.

Hi everyone,
i think we should make a clear plan about who is porting what for arch64 in community. 
Because at the moment there is a little bit confusen around. 
For my part i know i should look after x11 and xfce but i think i can do more but don't know 
if some one other is working on it allready.
So i think we should make a clear plan for it.

Just my 2 Cents on it.

Hi all,


Just a quick mail, I finaly finished to port gnome 2.16 from i686 to
Arch Linux PPC in TESTING. Just do :
pacman -S gnome gnome-extra

For now, some mono things and evolution are missing. They will be online
asap :) DOn't hesitate to test and send me feedback :) And for those who
don't want to use gnome, they could also install last version of kde or
xfce or any other wm :)

Enjoy :-)

Hi,

it`s me again. ;-) I just uploaded an updated collection of my packages. If 
you used the repository before its better to uninstall (pacman -Rlib32), 
remove pkgs from cache (rm /var/cache/pacman/pkg/lib32*) and reinstall.

I added the nvidia-beta-driver and the correspondig lib32-package. (see: 
http://www.archlinux.de/~pierre/packages/x86_64)

For those who understand German I set up a short wiki-article: 
http://wiki.archlinux.de/?title=32Bit-Programme_unter_Arch64

If you are using opengl-apps you have to install the right library at first 
(lib32-nvidia-utils, lib32-nvidia-beta-utils, lib32-ati-fglrx-utils or 
lib32-libgl-dri)

Games should work with the following additional packages: lib32-openal, 
lib32-alsa-lib, lib32-libstdc++5

For qt-apps just install lib32-qt.

Note: If you want to run GoogleEarth you have to install lib32-qt AND a 
propper OpenGL-package (see above)

I agree. It would be nice to concentrate the effort in a single
(community?) repository. Should we setup some trusted users, like Arch
Linux, or is the Arch64 community so small we should all be able to
upload packages?

I wouldn't mind helping out with packages either, if needed.

Since Arch64 is an offical port, I think it should work the same as regular
Arch Linux. TUs should be established and thus the repo would be well
managed. Also, considering that most PKGBUILDs work on both platforms with
only slight changes, it would be easy to get things going.

As a TU wouldn`t it be possible to maintain i686 and x86_64-packages at the 
same time oder will there be two seperate "communities"?

There was a discussion about that on the TUR ML:
http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/tur-users/2006-August/003172.html

IIRC, the consensus was to only have one TU group that will maintain both
the i686 and x86_64 community repo. The present problem is that very few
current TU have a 64 bits machine to port/maintain the x86_64 repo. The TU
group could certainly need new TUs that would focus on porting/maintaining
64 bits version of the community repo packages. If you are interested in
becoming a TU to work on the x86_64 community repo (and/or the i686 repo),
please present yourself on the TUR ML.

Subject: [arch-ports] 'community'/"community64" repo - some questions
Message-ID: <4b3125cc0610181133s5d2962cei3c65df96eb10bca9@mail.gmail.com>

hi folks, as per subject - just some questions about the 'community'
repo that i've noticed...

Firstly, i've noticed that something seems to be wrong with the
"official" community repositories that i have in
/etc/pacman.d/community. Why are some servers serving out only the
"db" (database) of files within the repo, but not serving out the
actual packages? (like take a look at
ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/community/os/x86_64/) While others (eg.
ftp://cle.linux.org.tw/pub/ArchLinux/) have deleted the community repo
altogether (the list gives
ftp://cle.linux.org.tw/pub/ArchLinux/community/os/x86_64), such that
the directory isnt even there. What has happened to the "community"
repo here?

Right now, i am using the "community64" repo at
http://www.archlinux-br.org/people/dsa/repository/community64, but is
this supposed to be the "new" (or "actual") "community" repo now?

Secondly, I think it would be great (for code audit, and for peace of
minds' sake - as well as for reference as how to compile or port
packages to Arch64) that the packagers of these packages provide the
PKGBUILDs for the packages that they build. Where are the PKGBUILDs
for these packages, and how may i get them? Specifically, i am looking
for the PKGBUILD for wmii-3 (where is it? can i have a look at it?),
but i am sure the rest who use the community64 repo would like to see
the other PKGBUILDs too.

There is no community repo for Arch64 yet. The db is just an empty file.

That repo is just a temporary place to keep the packages that have been
ported up to this date. It's mainly there to make these packages avaliable
to users.

Use the regular community PKGBUILD from ABS. I would say most of the stuff
will compile without modifying the PKGBUILD. If a PKGBUILD must be
modified, the changes will be merged in the Arch32 PKGBUILD like it is
done for the current/extra PKGBUILD.

For those who have been thinking of setting up VMware Server in
Arch64... i've written a wiki document for it. See
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installing_VMware_Server_on_Arch64.
It's definitely complete (tested, /bootstrapped and tried out
already), but i could definitely do with some help in the
'Miscellaneous, / "Notes"' section
(http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installing_VMware_Server_on_Arch64#Miscellaneous.2C_.2F_.22Notes.22)
- if anybody could add something to the Notes already there, or answer
to any of the questions raised, that would be great. In the meantime,
just sit back, enjoy the ride, and pls dont edit out any of the
tongue-in-cheek stuff i put in. ;)

thank you,

Everytime i try to do something with wireless (even something as
simple as 'ifconfig ath0 up'!!), the system hangs. The strange thing,
though - if i do a compile of the madwifi package myself, using the
exact same (from ABS) PKGBUILD on my Arch64 system... everything works
out fine!! No system hangs anymore...

Has nobody else ecnountered this problem? This is with the most recent
version of madwifi - 0.9.2-2, and kernel26 2.6.18.1-2
