[arch-general] MaraDNS and Zonetransfer
I want am using MaraDNS and I want to enable zonetransfer. When I try to enable zonetransfer service via systemd, I get failed status and this in my messages.log: Mar 27 18:01:53 localhost systemd[1]: Starting Zone AXFR service for MaraDNS server... Mar 27 18:01:53 localhost systemd[1]: Started Zone AXFR service for MaraDNS server. Mar 27 18:01:53 localhost systemd[1]: zoneserver.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=3/NOTIMPLEMENTED Mar 27 18:01:53 localhost systemd[1]: Unit zoneserver.service entered failed state I am able to start zonetransfer with duende zonetransfer -f /etc/mararc. Also, I am able to start zonetranfer via systemd when I bring maradns down, then if I start maradns I'll get the same errors in my messages.log BTW: journalctl is disabled because it was resource hungry. So, all messages go @/var/log/messages.log Thank you.

[arch-general] evdev and touchscreen
I have the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and I set up a chroot environment with Arch. I run Xorg server successfully, the S-Pen (digital pen) works out of the box with evdev driver, however I can't get the touchscreen to work. It's on /dev/input/event1 and I've tried: mtrack, multitouch, synaptics and it just don't work. no errors at all. I tried evdev and when I touch the screen it throws this [1] and dies. I also tried xf86-input-evdev-multitouch-git but it throws the same errors as the regular evdev I run e17, but I think that it's not a problem. my xorg.conf [2] [1]: http://pastebin.com/aGAWwDmh [2]: http://pastebin.com/TCeT9qr7

I created a basic BTRFS filesystem and mounted it with SSD optimizations and compression. I didn't create any subvolumes or anything else that is said to be problematic when booting to a BTRFS filesystem. From that point, I followed the installation guide for a normal install. However, after reading the documentation for GRUB and Syslinux, my newly created install doesn't boot. I looked at the wiki entry for installing to a USB key, but it is still written for AIF and grub-legacy. However, the main difference I can find doesn't seem to apply, because although it mentions that the USB key where grub-legacy is installed is always hd0,0, grub2 is supposed to look for the UUID of the disk, which matches correctly in /boot/grub/grub.cfg. I also tried setting up this install to boot using Syslinux, but both bootloaders just drop me into some kind of shell and refuse to boot. Unfortunately, since I am visually impaired and use speech to install and use Arch, I am unable to see whether I am in a normal shell or a rescue shell, or even what kind of issue the bootloaders are having that keeps them from finding a kernel. Should I be using a different filesystem other than BTRFS, even though both bootloaders are said to support it? Should I not be using compression on my filesystem? Could this be a problem that is entirely unrelated to the filesystem I'm using? Any help is greatly appreciated. ~Kyle Did you add usb and btrfs to the hooks array in your mkinitcpio.conf?

Maybe not the best thing still, but I guess it's OK with me. Regards, Attila 2012/6/12 Victor Silva vfbsi...@gmail.com: snip Folks after the last upgrade I can no longer shutdown nor reboot my machine (I'm using it as root). The command simply hangs and nothing happens. snip I was asked to perform a fsck which failed.It reported /dev/sda5 was mounted. Is there any proper way I should use to call fsck? I did create a /fsck file on / is there other more appropriate command to do it? Problably you asked for my fstab expecting an error like this right? Would it be better to run fsck from a livecd? regards, Victor

wow...
do you have any resource that explains the zones in detail and so that i
can actually understand and learn them?
also guide for setting up mydns? or it works out of the box?
Hello Dimitri,
A simple google search about 'DNS Zones explained' returns a lot of
results, also check the zone_file entry in wikipedia.
PS: take a look at this:
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is it such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?
and please use two dashes over your signature if possible so that
email clients (and users) can detect that's after that point it's your
signature and not something related to the post.

MyDNS appears to be unmaintained, but it fits your requirements.
Still, I would recommend learning basic DNS first, without the
additional complexity of SQL. Host your domain for a while using BIND,
NSD, or MaraDNS until you can remember the SOA record fields at five
in the morning, *then* set up MySQL.
