Re: [arch-general] Is out of source building still recommended with cmake in PKGBUILD scripts
On Tuesday 14 Jan 2014 23:17:53 Maxime Gauduin wrote: It is indeed no longer required with VCS sources, and has never been with tarballs since those are extracted every time you run makepkg so files you might have changed are overwritten anyway. However I sometimes find useful to keep doing that with cmake when you need to figure out why sth won't build, because that way files generated by cmake at build time are in a separate dir. Mmm, bear in mind that most cmake projects won't be tested with in-source builds. It's possible they might break. One possible scenario: files intended to be generated in the build directory could potentially match files that exist in the source directory (although that wouldn't be great practice), and bad things would then happen.

[arch-general] Resume from suspend in RAM fails
Hello, Resume from suspend in RAM fails even though I have followed the Arch Wiki recommendations, with latest 3.12.7 kernel (and before). The 'resume' hook has been added for mkinitcpio and the machine goes to suspend from the command line (pm-suspend) with no GUI enabled. All keyboard and mouse lights are off and the screen is just black with no backlight. I can't even login through SSH and can't get any PM debug info. It happens on one particular machine only and I'm quite stuck with it. Any suggestions to solve this ? I can provide other relevent information if required. Thanks.
Re: [arch-general] Resume from suspend in RAM fails
I can't give you any concrete advice yet, but what's the difference between the problematic system and the others (architecture, GUI/Desktop Environment, login manager etc)?

Re: [arch-general] Resume from suspend in RAM fails
Wait, on second thought... pm-utils? The wiki [1] suggests s2ram should work out of the box, and I think it has for me the last few times I've wanted to set it up. By default it's handled by systemd these days. Try executing $ systemctl start suspend.target And see if that gives you any better luck.

Re: [arch-general] Mirrors out of date
Not to be that guy... but your link explains. Like right in the first 5 sentences. The check script runs on a regular basis and polls for the lastsync file in the root of our repository layout. This file is regularly updated on the central repository, so checking the value within allows one to see if the mirror has synced recently. There is a file called lastsync. It is read http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/archlinux/lastsync

Both use KDE, kdm as login manager fglrx from AMD website. On the failing machine, I tried fglrx from the AUR with same results. The radeon driver fails to load because of lack of UMS support in the kernel. In any case, without any GUI up, it still does not resume properly. Detailed hardware differences are below, sorry if too verbose. I must say that on the problematic machine, suspend-resume works well with kernel 3.8.7, a custom build (not really knowledgeably), with which I'm stuck since long. I have not yet tested linux-lts as the wiki suggests, will do so ASAP. Thanks for considering.

Re: [arch-general] Mirrors out of date
Hi, I don't think hashes are a good way to do that. The Repositories are quite large I'm not sure what value is the right one from this [1] statistics page. Either way, after every update the mirror would effectively block for the time the hash is computed, since everything has to be read. Anyway, the time a mirror isn't in a sane state should be quite short if ever. I don't know how updates are handled, so I can't say what happens and what doesn't. Nontheless the servers normally have enough bandwidth to sync in a few seconds (I guess)... The most important part of my answer is, that this mailing list isn't the right place for discussing this topic. There is a mirror-list mailing list out there [2] cheers, Simon [1]: https://www.archlinux.de/?page=RepositoryStatistics [2]: https://mailman.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch-mirrors 2014/1/15 Mark Lee m...@markelee.com On Wed, 2014-01-15 at 22:54 +0100, Guus Snijders wrote: Op 15 jan. 2014 19:17 schreef Mark Lee m...@markelee.com het volgende: [...] There is a file called lastsync.

[arch-general] libgsf 1.14.28-1 - bug - gsf-libxml.h:26:25: fatal error
All,
Is this a bug or is it me. Looks like a bug in libgsf 1.14.28-1 in the header
file:
/usr/include/libgsf-1/gsf/gsf-libxml.h
If you attempt to include this header file you receive the error:
/usr/include/libgsf-1/gsf/gsf-libxml.h:26:25: fatal error: libxml/tree.h: No
such file or directory
#include libxml/tree.h
^
compilation terminated.
Example:
#include stdio.h
#include libxml/tree.h
void main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
printf(testing include\n);
}

tst.c:3:25: fatal error: libxml/tree.h: No such file or directory
#include libxml/tree.h
^
compilation terminated.
If someone will confirm this is a bug and not me being dense -- I'll file it.
