As always complex doesn't automatically translate to complicated ;)

In this particular case I had no issues with following the
instructions I found on docker.  While when spending the same amount
of time on getting lxc to work I get stuck almost immediately:


% lxc-create -n test -t archlinux
lxc_container: No mapping for container root
lxc_container: Error chowning /home/magnus/.local/share/lxc/test/rootfs to 
container root
lxc_container: Error creating backing store type (none) for test
lxc_container: Error creating container test


And quick googling didn't turn up anything useful.  Reading through
the Linux Containers page [1] didn't help either.

Oki, I've never looked at lxc, I was under the impression that docker
used to build on lxc in the past.  Is that not true any longer?

Is there a template included for Arch?  That would be quite nice
because building the docker image for Arch is a bit ugly I'd say

Finally, what about running a 32bit container on a 64bit host?  I've
not managed to find any indication that this is officially supported
in docker, but it seems to work just fine.

Well, I'm probably imprecise here.  What I meant was that after the
service has been started (which requires root) any user in the docker
group can start images.

If by chroot you mean also nspawn, then it is mostly equivalent to docker and
lxc. The only thing bad about systemd-nspawn is its lack of easy config through
files (it only supports cmdline switches which is ridiculously cumbersome).
Also, docker is more complex than a plain lxc-tools approach.

So, I would go with lxc as the simplest and most flexible solution. In fact,
that's how I build my packages.

Where do you take this from? Rootless containers require a specific host kernel
configuration (which -ARCH kernels don't have).

Downgrading solved all my USB issues with the XP guest. I experienced
VBox to crash, when disconnecting USB, only for the updated version. I
could avoid the crashes, by un-checking the USB device in VBox's device
menu, before unplugging it.


Re: [arch-general] [Bulk] Re: FS#41424 - Virtualbox 4.3.14, USB doesn't work flawlessly

I downgraded and have postive results.


Currently installed:

virtualbox 4.2.18-1
virtualbox-guest-iso 4.2.18-1
virtualbox-host-modules 4.2.18-7
linux 3.11.6-1


No USB read/write problems any more. I still get Malformed Packet in
Wireshark, but this seems unrelated.

However now I receive crashes of my VM when attaching/detaching USB
devices to my VM often. Guess I have to live with that.

Hi,

I have also issues with USB devices on Windows 7 32Bit guest. The
devices I use are mainly USB Serial COM ports. On top of that a
proprietary binary protocol is used.

The applications that communicate with the USB Serial COM ports are
constantly having problems reading and writing data.

Installed:
virtualbox 4.3.14-3
virtualbox-guest-iso 4.3.14-1
virtualbox-guest-modules 4.3.14-5
virtualbox-host-modules 4.3.14-5
Linux localhost 3.16.1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Aug 14 07:40:19 CEST
2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Extension Pack 4.3.14r95030

With usbmon and wireshark I could see a lot of malformed USB packets.
I'm afraid I don't know enough to make an exact conclusion whats wrong
in detail.

I will try a downgrad from 4.3.14-3 to 4.3.12 and report again.

I have the same laptop, and kind of the same issue. My key doesn't get

Same as you, this issue started the minute I changed from the default

What do you mean by "there"?

It's in 'about:plugins'  but I find no way to interact with it to set

Any pointers on how to do that?

All instructions I find rely on the plugin actually appearing on the
web page so I can click something.  However, the Gnome plugin doesn't.

I'm not sure if you are including systemd-nspawn in the chroot category,
if not then give it a try. I tend to think of it as chroot on steroids :D

I have the same laptop, and kind of the same issue. My key doesn't get
'stuck', it just inputs the same character multiple times on one
keypress.
Same as you, this issue started the minute I changed from the default
Windows installation to Arch Linux. I don't have this issue when using
an external keyboard.

If it is Chromium/Google Chrome, they dropped support for NPAPI plugins, so
this will not work in Chromium anymore.
If your using Firefox, do you see "Gnome Shell Integration" in about:addons

I had this issue too. I found the "GNOME Shell Integration" extension in 
Firefox and changed it from "Ask to activate" to "Always activate" and 
it fixed it.

Should be fixed soon-ish (when your mirror updates again), sorry for the
noise.

This has never really wored for me in Firefox. I always use Epiphany
(“Web”) for this purpose which works quite well.

2014-09-03 Thread Johannes Altmanninger

This sounds like a hardware issue even though it worked on Windows.
I found this forum thread which may be relevant:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2203274

So maybe try to clean and reseat the keyboard if this is possible.

[arch-general] Building in docker?

2014-09-03 Thread Magnus Therning
For various reasons I'm looking into not using `makechrootpkg` when
building the 200+ packages I put into a non-official repo.  Obviously
it's important to keep the building environment separate from my
ordinary system environment.  Going to full virtualisation is
definitely overkill and the only containers I know of are chroots and
docker.

Docker has some nice attributes, in particular no need for root
access.  However, I don't know a whole lot about it, so I wonder are
there any aspects to it that makes it a bad choice for building
packages?
