Guys I've not found a "migration" how to on the forums neither a major comment in archs Web page. Probably because the error we are facing is due to the let's say exploitation of a feature from the system. But now we are in a situation were I could find no official guideline to solve it. What are the correct guidelines to adress it? Adding the ABSROOT=~/abs abs Seems also evil ie not a proper fix which also might backslash later. What could I and Marcel do in a first momment to sane our system? Regards, Victor

[arch-general] Can`t playback other sounds (ie flash, xmms) while on a skype call
Folks seems skype and pulseaudio are blocking all other sound outputs while I`m on a call. When I turn off the skype call the other sounds start to work again. I could find no logs to provide you more info but I will happy to show them as long you point me out what you need. Regards, Victor
[arch-general] (no subject)
Guys today in a scrum meeting we were discussing the need of guidelines to improve our corporative wiki. I remmember archwiki had a section as ways to contribute to the wiki. I found some materials as https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/General_Recommendations https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Forum_Etiquette https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ArchWiki:Contributing#Organizing But I remmember there was some more specific material which seems to be merged with the archway https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/The_Arch_Way I know in this guidelines they pointed the need of a section as: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ArchWiki:Requests and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ArchWiki:Contributing Would any of you know if this material is still around (maybe in some other language?) Thanks!

[arch-general] Is it proper that I add some material about raspberry pi on Arch over the Archwiki?
Guys some time ago I got a Pi. I know there is much to be done with it, so far I`ve installed arch on it, running a seed box at the moment. The idea would use the power of archwiki to have people sharing information and having cool ideas for raspberry pi. I`ve seen guys doing great stuff like a solar powered py running SETI@Home, mods to run pinball machines and so on. But all this information is still scattered on the Internet making it a bit harder to people just starting up. For instance: http://www.raspberrypi-tutorials.co.uk/ http://elinux.org/RPi_Tutorials Just as example are quite scattered regarding format. So maybe we could use the community to build a great wiki. The http://archlinuxarm.org/ seems to have no wiki. (Do they use https://wiki.archlinux.org/ ?) Could one please give me some pointers of how could I start it? I tried to get some info on archlinuxarm.org website but so far no answer. http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=3992 Hope this can work. Regards, vfbsilva

By default most mail providers won`t really delete your messages but put then in a queue to be deleted. This is used in the case you loose a valuable email or so on. I work in a governmental company on the mail infrastructure and by default we retain any mail for 45 days which is vacations + a buffer in case someone deletes something and needs it when coming back from vacations. Of course the mail won`t be on your inbox but the goverment or google will be able to look on it upon request.

In fact now I have tons of errors, dbus seems screwd and many other things, among the problems I have now is that X fails with no screen found (both nv and nvidia drivers) and I have no network interfaces I fail to get eth0 up. So *DO NOT UPDATE YOUR KERNELS *I'm quite sad as this is a even bigger mistake than the last one. So I think I need to chroot again rever to the old kernel... Anyone else expecting this kind of problem? Btw the reboor parameters for the kernel (which I've tested before the upgrade) also did not work. Regards, Victor

I'm not familiar with the internal workings of mtab. I will read a bit. Also the only thing I assume could be hanging is my external HD which I disconnected having no effect on the problem behavior. Still I reported that my /boot partition was being mounted and listed on kde file manager (forgot its name) which was not default behavior. So could be the case that /boot is hanging my shoutdown?

I dont get what do you mean by: be a red herring, is the exact error gone too quick to note. Well I can chroot as I did to revert to the old kernel so changing grub menu seems harder than chroot. My main problem is that reverting to the old kernel did not work. Maybe I forgot to run mkinitcpio By did not work I mean that I don't get boot. it fails with the message you meantioned to be listed on a bug. I will look for it later but if you could provide me a link I would be gratefull (I'm at work atm). Also I own you a post of the exact error message on boot over the new kernel. A thing I dont understand is what if the difference of doing a magic reboot: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/rebooting-magic-way and calling a shutdown lies mainly on the umounting of the file systems if this is the case I should be able to reboot after a umount -f all right? I wonder if a -l would be better: -l Lazy unmount. Detach the filesystem from the filesystem hierarchy now, and cleanup all references to the filesystem as soon as it is not busy anymore. (Requires kernel 2.4.11 or later.) I could not run fsck on /boot as it reported to be mounted. Should I maybe run a normal shutdown -h now in parallel with http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/sysrq.txt to check which tasks are still stuck right?

I need to take a picture of that as it hangs before init 1 so I have no logs. I was able to chroot and revert to 3.3.8-1 kernel. Also, is there a procedure I can use to have multiple kernels? Well of course it is, better question is wheter https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … ild_System<https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernels/Compilation/Arch_Build_System>is the best approach to do so.

Re: [arch-general] Shutdown and reboot not working after last weekend update
Logs here: http://pastebin.com/0BMzruNJ Nothing happens, this is the point. I can still use the system normally after the shutdown command. It does not turn X off. It does not shutdown just after the broadcast. This is what I consider extremelly strange. AS you pointed out I could have something waiting to be unmounted so I did a umount -a and kill -9 -1 to be sure nothing was hanging. Still could not shutdown. by the way thanks a lot for all the insights so far guys. I'm sure we can work it out :) 2012/6/12 Martti Kühne > On Tue, Jun 12, 2012 at 04:06:27PM -0300, Victor Silva wrote: > > > > Dmesg output is here > > > > http://pastebin.com/HjwGvDsp > > > > umm that just is kde crashing. > what exactly is the error when trying to shut down or reboot, > or where is the hang? before or after shutting down X, are there error > messages displayed? what happens if you just log in to tty and try to > shutdown/reboot? > > cheers! > mar77i >
Re: [arch-general] Shutdown and reboot not working after last weekend update
I do have this exact error messega as I've posted before. I will check htop and post the output here. So now some questions which come out are: is it somehow related to bad sectors? Shutdown is the locked process with the message: > INFO: task [shutdown] blocked for more than 120 seconds. Still I've made a forced reboot via sysctl and on the next session I've also hit this problem. About xfs_fsr (which I assume is some kind of fsck right?) I need to run fsck from a live cd, I just got one and will try it tonight. So basically we are talking about the samething, still I'm not sure of what is going wrong and sincerely I'm bit afriad of having a system just messed up because of a failing disk. How can I cover this scenario?

Re: [arch-general] Shutdown and reboot not working after last weekend update
I got a ubuntu livecd with gparted lets see what happens. About using thesystem as root. I only run pacman related commands as root have a user I use for mostly day tasks. This user is *NOT* on sudo, basically cause I like to enforce my self to login as root and think about what I'm doing. Also sudo is cumbersome to use in some instances as buil-in commands are not avaliable. So the only thing I've run as root was the pacman -Syu and followed the arch announces regarding the updates. Nothing bad there I'mho. And the problem I'm facing now has nothing to do with my system usage. Imho either I have a bad sector or something went broken for some instances of the system like mine or the other guy who also reported on the forums.

[arch-general] Shutdown and reboot not working after last weekend update
Folks sorry for cross posting this at forum and mailing lists but so far no solution came there. 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. I've done some research and found https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=141155 this but that does not seems to be my issue. I'm clueless which logs can I provide you in order to diagnose what can be the problem? Important thing, I have only 1 session running and the system report going down still it never gets past the tty broadcast as it seems. Ideas? This came after a update last weekend, the content of the update is here: http://pastebin.com/54305EH0 Dmesg output is here http://pastebin.com/HjwGvDsp My last boot log is here: http://pastebin.com/Tg70mD8F My fstab (which was asked on the forums is here): http://pastebin.com/dGUuWhNe Is it somehow related? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=662433 I've googled a bit and came with a solution which gives us some insights http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/rebooting-magic-way Seems something is not properly unmounting. SO you can for it with: echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger Forcing a shut down, still no clear way out of it. Ideas? 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

Re: [arch-general] qt applications over ssh tunnel: very slow redrawing
Maybe -C option can help: -C Requests compression of all data (including stdin, stdout, stderr, and data for forwarded X11 and TCP connections). The compression algorithm is the same used by gzip(1), and the “level” can be controlled by the CompressionLevel option for pro‐ tocol version 1. Compression is desirable on modem lines and other slow connections, but will only slow down things on fast networks. The default value can be set on a host-by-host basis in the configuration files; see the Compression option. 2012/3/5 Sergey Manucharian > Hi folks, > > Regularly I do not use many Qt applications, mostly Skype.

[arch-general] Kernel Panic on x64 when writting to 1TB External USB disk
Hi folks i'm not 100% sure I'm posting on the right list so if im wrong please disregard and direct me to the appropriate list. :) Well I'm having a problem with USB devices causing kernel panic. I got an external 1 TB USB hard disk in NTFS format. When I tried to save some files (downloads from deluge) on it I get a kernel panic. Which files/logs can I provide to help you? The system simply hangs and all keyboard leads start to blink. I'm using Linux 2.6.37-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Feb 18 18:32:16 CET 2011 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux. It is the default arch linux kernel. If I write a small file and move to the folder things seem to be okay. Any ideas? Thanks for the great distro folks hope you can help me on this one.
