Re: [arch-general] GNU Guix

To all readers: as you could've guessed, this is not about GNU Guix. 
Also, it is not safe for work.

Hello All,

I came across an amazing project called GNU Guix.

So, I made an animation to introduce the novel concepts of this project.

Here is the link for the video,

Please leave me a feedback on your experience.

Re: [arch-general] Arch should be apolitical

2020-06-02 Thread Robin Martijn

Without responding to anyone specific and only to put in my two-penny worth:

The only place where the logo was changed to a rainbow, was on Reddit. 
There, someone made a post which, based on solely the title, sounds 
fairly like a meme indeed. This was removed because of that reason.


When I go to the subreddit itself however, the top post is exactly about 
this subject: 
https://old.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/guvm7x/a_quick_thank_you_for_the_logo_change/


And even though the post is very positive, there are also many replies 
that are written by skeptical people who also think that Arch should not 
be involved with politics or statements in any way. And guess what, 
that's fine.


I wouldn't say that you are being censored and I think the amount of 
e-mails on this subject is unreasonable, considering the fact that the 
conversation is already ongoing on the platform about which you complain.

Update: Thanks everyone for helping me think! Finally, I discovered that 
all three of my USB devices were broken. A fourth one finally connected. 
I should've known when dmesg did not see anything at all, that they were 
broken.

I concur: in many cases you need to reboot after doing a kernel 
update in

order to recognise devices that were not plugged in before the update



Indeed.

To also explain why this happens: the relevant kernal modules hadn't been
loaded yet, and the modules on disk are for the newly upgraded kernel 
while
you're still running an older kernel. In that case, `pacman -Qi linux` 
and

`uname -r` will also show different version information.

I see that I made a mistake in the mail subject. My apologies for that.

Thanks a lot Justin! My port is open in the bios and firmware. My USB 
keyboard and mouse do get recognized.


When I run `ls -ld /usr/lib/modules/5.5.11-arch1-1`, I get the following 
result:


`drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Mar 24 15:26 /usr/lib/modules/5.5.11-arch1-1`

To me, that looks like a good result. The folder is filled with what I 
would expect in such a file.


The USB controller is recognized correctly by `lspci`, but that probably 
isn't very unexpected since my USB keyboard and mouse are functioning.


Thank you very much for thinking with me!

Have you looked at lsusb -t ? Maybe the port is disabled in your

ls -ld /usr/lib/modules/`uname -r` check which usb controllers you have,
lspci, they will be *hci

the kernel update, more than once actually, so I am sure that that is
not the problem. Would anybody know what could potentially be the problem?

Thanks in advance!
