[arch-general] Linux / mkinitcpio / vbox bug: bad swap file entry
while testing new images, I get this: http://users.edpnet.be/dieter/vbox-or-kernel-or-mkinitcpio-bug.png the error messages show up in google results and seem to be bugs in the Linux swap code and/or drivers. interestingly, at first aif/dialog/mkinitcpio/find just keep running, but after a while the processes just vanish. dmesg doesn't say anything about OOM killer, but i get login prompts where i used to have a terminal with aif/initcpio running. dmesg here: http://sprunge.us/YWQS any advice? i can probably workaround it by using more ram, but still...

Dieter hmm the behaviour seems to be pretty random. i went from 256 to 421MB ram where the issue stayed the same. now i'm trying 580MB and the machine gives pagefault errors by just trying to launch /arch/setup, and doesn't respond to any key afterwards :/
[arch-general] Where is $MAIL set?
I'm using fetchmail and postfix to get mails into the spool. I changed location of spool in main.cf and login.defs but $MAIL still contains the value of /var/spool/mail/nilesh. I changed the spool directory in the configuration to /home/MAIL/. For now I'm working with setting $MAIL in ~/.bash_profile, but where's the global setting? -- Regards, Nilesh Govindarajan Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/nilesh.gr Twitter: http://twitter.com/nileshgr Website: http://www.itech7.com VPS Hosting: http://www.itech7.com/a/vps
[arch-general] Package building - Change name of finished package
I want to change the resulting package name in the PKGBUILD so I can support
different sites on a server hosting many virtual websites using joomla.
Example:
Stock PKGBUILD
pkgname=joomla
pkgver=1.5.22
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc=A PHP-based content management platform
arch=('any')
url=http://www.joomla.org/;
license=('GPL')
depends=('php=4.3.10' 'php-apache=4.3.10' 'mysql=3.23' 'apache=1.3')
provides=('joomla')
install=${pkgname}.install
source=(http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsrelease/12610/53421/Joomla_$pkgver-
Stable-Full_Package.zip)
build() {
# Install Joomla files.
install -dm755 $pkgdir$_install_dir
cp -r $srcdir/* $pkgdir$_install_dir
# Remove the symlink which points to the Joomla tarball itself.
rm -f $pkgdir$_install_dir/Joomla_$pkgver-Stable-Full_Package.zip
# Remove unnecessary permissions.
find $pkgdir$_install_dir -type f -exec chmod 0664 {} \;
find $pkgdir$_install_dir -type d -exec chmod 0775 {} \;
}
Produces a package named joomla-1.5.22-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
I would like to change it to
sitename=some name
pkgname=joomla
pkgver=1.5.22
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc=A PHP-based content management platform
arch=('any')
url=http://www.joomla.org/;
license=('GPL')
depends=('php=4.3.10' 'php-apache=4.3.10' 'mysql=3.23' 'apache=1.3')
provides=('joomla')
install=${pkgname}.install
source=(http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsrelease/12610/53421/Joomla_$pkgver-
Stable-Full_Package.zip)
build() {
# Install Joomla files.
install -dm755 $pkgdir/$sitename
cp -r $srcdir/* $pkgdir/$sitename
# Remove the symlink which points to the Joomla tarball itself.
rm -f $pkgdir/$sitename/Joomla_$pkgver-Stable-Full_Package.zip
# Remove unnecessary permissions.
find $pkgdir/$sitename -type f -exec chmod 0664 {} \;
find $pkgdir/$sitename -type d -exec chmod 0775 {} \;
}
and have it produce:
joomla-1.5.22-1-any-sitename.pkg.tar.xz
Is this possible?

You could use a split PKGBUILD[0]:
basename=joomla
build()
package_joom-site1() {}
package_joom-site2() {}
package_joom-site3() {}

[arch-general] [signoff] udev-165-1
Hi guys.
upstream release:
udev 165
Bugfixes.
The udev database has changed, After installation of a new udev
version, 'udevadm info --convert-db' should be called, to let the new
udev/libudev version read the already stored data.
udevadm now supports quoting of property values, and prefixing of
key names:
$ udevadm info --export --export-prefix=MY_ --query=property -n sda
MY_MAJOR='259'
MY_MINOR='0'
MY_DEVNAME='/dev/sda'
MY_DEVTYPE='disk'
...
libudev now supports:
udev_device_get_is_initialized()
udev_enumerate_add_match_is_initialized()
to be able to skip devices the kernel has created , but udev has
not already handled.
libudev now supports:
udev_device_get_usec_since_initialized()
to retrieve the age of a udev device record.
GUdev supports a more generic GUdevEnumerator class, udev TAG
handling, device initialization and timestamp now.
The counterpart of /sys/dev/{char,block}/$major:$minor,
/dev/{char,block}/$major:$minor symlinks are now unconditionally
created, even when no rule files exist.

greetings

[arch-general] [signoff] groff 1.21-1
VERSION 1.21 Troff - o The new `lsm' request specifies a macro to be invoked when leading spaces in an input line are encountered (which are removed then). Number registers `lsn' and `lss' hold the number of removed leading spaces and the corresponding horizontal space, respectively. o There is a new warning category `file', enabled by default. The `mso' request emits warnings in this category when the requested macro file does not exist. o The new `class' request assigns a short name to a set of characters which can be referred to in the `cflags' request. This is especially useful to control line-breaking and hyphenation rules in CJK languages. o Three new values for the `cflags' request have been added, which are needed for proper CJK support. 128 prohibit before but allow break after character 256 prohibit after but allow break before character 512 allow break before and after character Tbl --- o A new global option `nowarn' suppresses warnings if tables are longer than the current line width. Afmtodit o New option `-o' to specify the name of the output file. Macro Packages -- o A new macro `%U' has been added to the mdoc package to indicate a URL reference within an .Rs/.Re environment. o Rudimentary support for the Japanese script has been added, most suitable for man page handling as output by grotty. The file `ja.tmac' contains the necessary setup to allow line breaks before and after CJK characters (with proper exceptions). Note, however, that no inter-character spacing is implemented yet -- this usually causes many warnings about bad line breaks. a Fixed groffer #21245 Please signoff both arches, greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tp...@archlinux.org signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

[arch-general] (rt61pci/hostapd) no packet activity when encryption is enabled and interface is bridged
hello, slightly out of scope for tis list... but i've been trying to solve this for a few days, so after much googling, i've given in and am looking here for assistance. i've also sent this message to linux-wireless. problem summary: an rt61pci driven card does not seem to allow any packets to enter/exit it's bridge ONLY WHEN ENCRYPTION is enabled; without it, everything works perfectly. i recently bought an older wireless G card for use as an access point to replace my ageing wrt54g. my physical server runs libvirt/kvm and [next to] nothing else. hostapd runs on the host. when hostapd starts up, the card's interface (wlan0) is added to an existing bridge (green0) via hostapd's config option. a small VM is also linked to this bridge; this router/gateway VM provides all local networking services (NAT/DHCP/DNS forward/etc.), and manages the untrusted, outside connection (red0)... also a bridge. interface summary: --- red0 bridge. untrusted; direct attached to internet green0 bridge. trusted; [W]LAN and VM clients wlan0 wireless interface (rt61pci) vnet0-0 host facing interface of the router VM (WAN [red0]) vnet0-1 VM facing interface of the router VM (WAN [red0]) vnet1-0 host facing interface of the router VM (LAN [green0]) vnet1-1 VM facing interface of the router VM (LAN [green0]) eth0 untrusted physical link to internet --- visual-ish summary: --- [ green0 ]( wlan0, vnet1-0 ) | | [ vnet1-1 ] : : (firewall rules, policies, etc.) : [ vnet0-1 ] | | [ red0 ]( eth0, vnet0-0 ) --- now, everything works perfectly... right up until i enable WPA in hostapd. after that, my clients can associate just fine (in fact, -dd shows no sign of any problems whatsoever, see below) but they cannot receive an IP via DHCP... no packets seem to pass through at all (ifconfig?). i have read elsewhere about problems with bridging, so i'm about to test right now by running a DHCP daemon directly on wlan0... but i can't do anything useful/simply without bridge support. does anyone know what's going on here, or any tips on how to confirm/test/debug? i have tried from 4 clients with the same results: ) google nexus s mobile ) samsung vibrant mobile ) thinkpad t43 ) eee s101 so i'm fairly confident it's the AP. also, when i do this (on host) while hostapd is running: ip link set wlan0 down ip link set wlan0 up; it strangely starts working (clients get IP, and can use the connection for awhile), but not consistently; the nexus reconnects every 5-10 seconds, and though the t43 remains connected... the AP will shortly stop allowing traffic, and back to square one. ideas? following is every piece of info i thought might be useful :-) let me know if i missed anything. all commands (except last) ran from host while hostapd runs in background. thanks, C Anthony --- # lspci -s 04:06.0 -vv 04:06.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
