Re: [arch-general] Kernel LTS won't boot properly

I don't know why the checksums don't catch this type of corruption, but I had to re-download and then install with 'pacman -UpkgName'. Hopefully, the 4th time will be a charm. I redownloaded it, re mkinitcpio, still the problem persists. Is there any way to disable the change of screen font after udev ? Any guesses ? Or re-download from another mirror ? Nilesh, If you have re-downloaded and reinstalled, then I think you may have stumbled across a bug regarding your chipset and the framebuffer switch that takes place. That is way beyond me, but there are others here that can help. Before opening a ticket on it, do a quick wiki search on your gpu chipset and also take a look at the LTS page to see if there are any notes there. If not, open a ticket with Arch. That will probably be the fastest way to get this resolved. What is your hardware setup? Give us the motherboard chipset, CPU and GPU chipset info, and that will help others here help you. Also, if you get any log info on the boot process up to the time it hangs, that is important. I guess the way to check for log info would be to boot -- let it fail -- then boot with the install media and then mount your partition containing /var (usually /) and check /var/log under the mount-point and see if anything was captured. I don't know for sure, but it seems like logging would have been enabled well before Udev is started. Good luck. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Re: [arch-general] MySQL Starts But Fails to Restart
When you stop MySQL, the kill command completes immediately, while MySQL is still doing shutdown tasks to make sure the database is in a consistent state. As MySQL is still running when you try to start it, it will fail to do so. There's 2 ways to fix this: - use mysqladmin shutdown, needs a user in the database with process privileges, this is the way used by debian - implement a loop that waits for MySQL to shutdown after executing the kill command. This is what the upstream MySQL start/stop script does. On Tue, 2010-03-23 at 22:46 -0400, Carlos Mennens wrote: 4. I then run the command to restart the daemon for MySQL and it fails...

[arch-general] Battery Monitor Applet (kde4) hangs after s2ram
Hi, after I resume from s2ram my battery monitoring applet does not refresh anymore. It shows 100% loaded and plugged in all the time.

[arch-general] New Using AUR
I had two questions about using the AUR. I have never done it before and read of the How-To on the Wiki but could someone please answer the following two questions I have: 1. If I build a tarball on 'PC1' downloaded from AUR with the 'makepkg -s' command, can I then transfer the created tarball to 'PC2' and install it even though PC2 didn't have any of the required packages used to create the tarball from the AUR? 2. Once a package is installed from the AUR, when I do a system upgrade via Pacman, will outdated packages I installed via AUR get automatically upgraded or do I have to do all my AUR packages manually?

There are two different types of dependencies defined for packages in the AUR: build time dependencies are needed to build a package using some PKGBUILD, package dependencies are required to run the program that is contained in the package. The first type of dependency is not needed on PC2, the second type will be needed and will be installed by pacman if you install the package from the tarball on PC2. 2. Once a package is installed from the AUR, when I do a system upgrade via Pacman, will outdated packages I installed via AUR get automatically upgraded or do I have to do all my AUR packages manually? This is something pacman itself cannot do. However there are some wrapper scripts for pacman that can do this. One is called yaourt and can be found on the aur. I myself have written a small script that checks all installed packages (including those from the AUR) for updates but does not do any automatic update attempt like yaourt does. If you’d like to check it out it can be found at http://edgar-kalkowski.de/aurupdate. I hope this helps! :) Edgar signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Pacman does not upgrade AUR packages. Only packages from core, extra, or community. So you need to manually update AUR packages. So what you should do is create an account for yourself on the AUR, then log in to the site, go to the page for that package, and click notify. Then you'll be notified when new messages appear on that package's AUR page - and so you'll find out when the PKGBUILD has been upgraded to a new version. DR
Re: [arch-general] New Using AUR
you should take a look at packer, or yaourt
both of them are (AUR) package manager, dealing with both pacman *and* AUR
repositories.
packer is not perfect (we can not just do -Sy, but have to -Syu, for
example)
but yaourt is very slow (other programming language, don't know exactly, but
even on a core i7, it's shocking to see how long it took to do simple
things...)
so... make your choice :)

Usually you're not informed by the notify feature when an AUR package is updated, because most maintainers don't write comments, when they update their package. So you should use one of the wrapper scripts like yaourt, aurbuild etc. to search for updates. Heiko

[arch-general] Vim Syntax Highlighter
I noticed today when editing a config file for Postfix in Vim that one value was listed in white text only and everything else was in color. This lead me to beleive the value or parameter was wrong or not being recognized by Postfix configuration but it is. I asked Postfix and the said: Your VIM syntax highlighter is out of date Can anyone tell me if there is a way to update this manually if I have the latest version of Vim in my Arch repo?
