Re: [arch-general] Installing by remote control

I'm happy--actually, real happy--with Arch, not so happy with the constraints I'm facing with the Linode. Casting about, I find Contabo in Germany. From them, I can get a dedicated server with lots more capacity for about the same cost (it'd actually go up a little because I'd solve a few other problems that doing this would bring within range). Unfortunately, they do not offer Arch Linux as an option. I sent their support team a message asking about this, and I've included their response below. It sounds like heartburn to me. I don't have a lot of experience installing Arch Linux (Linode *does* offer it as an option and I installed via Bridge Linux on my desktops). I'm hoping this isn't as weird as it sounds. (I've actually never heard of a KVMoIP.) Is what they're offering a reasonable proposition? How weird is it really? Thanks! IIRC, by requesting KVMoIP you will get a serial console attached to your server onto which you can logon and thus have access to a serial console to your server, allowing you to view the boot process, GRUB and stuff like that. If you have this, you only have to boot into the USB install stick and install as you would usually do. The main point is that you should have serial access to your server with KVMoIP :) Greetings, Christoph signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: [arch-general] Device eth0 does not exist - how to bring up?

However, when booting natively to the system no eth0 is present. Attempting /etc/rc.d/network restart results in Device eth0 does not exist.

However this does not occur. 'cat /proc/1/comm' still shows 'init' so I cannot figure out why I do not have an eth0.

On 10/14/12 at 06:03pm, Rafael Beraldo wrote: Hello all, I have my passwords set to expire every 30 days. When they expire, I am asked to input a new, different password. It turns out that I recently noticed I had to input only the first 8 characters of my password to be able to log in. I discussed this with Hlao-ru on #archlinux and, thanks to him, I found out that passwords generated by passwd were fine but passwords generated after my password expire suffer of the 8-character restriction problem. This problem can be reproduced by manually expiring the password with passwd -e user and then loging in with su user. So I took a look at man passwd and man login and both programs read /etc/login.defs. This file has a parameter, ENCRYPT_METHOD, that was, in my system, unset. The default value for this parameter is DES, and that could be causing my problem. I set the parameter to SHA512 but that didn't help (I believe I have to reboot the system, and I haven't). There are a few other files that seem to do a similar job, namely /etc/default/passwd and /etc/pam.d/password. I am confused: what file control what programs? And isn't that a bug? The wiki [0] says that newly created passwords use SHA-512 as the encryption, but that's clearly not the case when asked to create a new password. [0]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SHA_password_hashes Thanks all, -- Rafael Beraldo cabaladada.org A few minutes ago I tinkered with this exact issue on my hobbyist LFS, introducing PAM to my setup. The installation page for shadow states the following: The login program currently performs many functions which Linux-PAM modules should now handle. The following sed command will comment out the appropriate lines in /etc/login.defs, and stop login from performing these functions [0] After that, several files for different services or programs are created, system-passwd being one of them, where the line is identical to that of /etc/pam.d/passwd shipped with Arch Linux pam-package: password required pam_unix.so sha512 shadow nullok That line enforces hashing of the password with SHA512 if available the next time the password is set anew. This should explain why you did not find any of those options in login.defs. Have you tried backing up default/passwd and deleting it? On my LFS, there is no such file and I can't find the point of it's creation in the PKGBUILD of pam. HTH, Christoph

How do you shutdown your Computer? If you use shutdown, your Computer will be in maintenance mode IIRC. You must use the command halt. Greetings, Christoph i use command poweroff or poweroff in gnome-shell menu Okay, poweroff is a symlink to halt for me. What about trying halt directly for shutting down the laptop? Is this a new behaviour for your laptop? Did you maybe install ACPI-related updates? Greetings, Christoph -- AUR, IRC: kritztopf BBS, Github: kritter
Re: [arch-general] Intel AES-NI module doesn't get loaded automatically

I'm pretty sure that the appropriate module (aesni_intel) was loaded automatically in the past, which seems not to be the case anymore. I probably could place it in /etc/rc.conf or something like that, but before going for it, I would like to know why it doesn't get loaded automatically in the first place any longer. Is this something intentional or some sort of bug/regression? Maybe it has something to do with the switch to kmod a few weeks ago? Anyone else experienced this? Best regards, Karol Babioch As far as I can tell, kmod is supposed to be a drop-in replacement for the deprecated tools of module-init-tools. Nonetheless bugs may be there ;) Can you still load aesni_intel by hand? Are you sure the module has not been renamed to something else? Intel renamed iwlagn to iwlwifi some time ago, didn't notice that at first. Greetings, Christoph -- AUR, IRC: kritztopf BBS, GitHub: kritter signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Hi Pete, you could always put settings like these into your $HOME/.xinitrc, that's where I have stored those settings. -- Christoph AUR, IRC: kritztopf BBS, Github: kritter signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
