It just disabled it by default, which makes sense given that the desktop is GTK+2 only and they don't want to unnecessary pull in the gtk+3 dep only for the engine. Therefore I propose to rename the current lightdm-gtk3-greeter into lightdm-gtk-greeter and drop the legacy lightdm-gtk2-greeter to AUR. looking oxygen keep the gtk3 in AUR gtk3 only themes tend to use gtk3 and gtk2 only thend to use gtk or gtk2, I will preffer keep the 3 in the name. I could keep lightdm-gtk2-greeter around for a while in [community] if some people want me to (I'm thinking people using MATE for example, but it's going towards GTK3 anyway), but keep in mind that you can use LXDM instead if you really need a GTK2 display manager. Or Xfce4 users, the upcoming xfce4 release is gtk2, and only after that the migration to gtk3 will start. so a gtk2-greeter will be apreciated until xfce drop gtk2, and dont forget that LXDM is now presumably unmaintained or in low maintainance since they migrate to QT If there aren't any objections by the end of the week, I'll proceed with my proposal.

As such, my /etc/pacman.conf contains an ignore declaration: IgnorePkg = linux zfs-git spl-git virtualbox virtualbox-host-dkms virtualbox-host-modules So once in a while, I'll comment out my IgnorePkg and attempt a system update and expect it to fail because getting the kernel, ZFS, and VirtualBox all to line up at the same time feels like, to quote Scotty, trying to hit a bullet with a smaller bullet, whilst wearing a blindfold, riding a horse. Is there any graceful solution here? Clearly the three won't (can't) ALL be bleeding edge simultaneously, but is there a sane workaround to keep them as-current-as-possible without pacman barfing on everything else.

Hmm.. You are correct. But installing pulseaudio-alsa which provides

Has always taken care of this automatically before. However, this is the first
build of Trinity on Arch that does not rely on hal, so there may be more
required to get sound going for normal users. I have started pulseaudio, but as
of yet, I cannot get sound configured and working. Sound has always been tricky
when it is not working. Here, apparently root works just fine using raw alsa,
but then what to do for the users. I'll keep picking around, if you have any
other suggestions, please let me know. Thanks.
Well, pulseaudio-alsa is installed by default with pulseaudio iirc, so
you'll always get that. pulseaudio daemon is started by a startup file
in /etc/xdg/autostart, but I believe it can be dbus activated when
something requests it - yet you still need to have a valid dbus session
in either cases - be it dbus-launch-ed one or (not really sure 'bout
this one) the one started with systemd user session.
Following your suggestions, I examined the files in /etc/xdg/autostart and I
tried about ever combination of inits to get sound going, but failed each time
to get any sound as user. However, this was one of those frustrating situations
where I decided to try adding the user to the audio group and tested everything
without success, but I left the user as a member of the group when the system
was shut down. Apparently, that is all that it took, because when I started the
system this morning - sound began automatically playing beautifully. All the
settings in TDE are the default 'Autodetect' sound system settings and I made no
config file changes.
After reading the forum posts that recommended adding the user to the audio
group, then reading the wiki pages Warning: don't do it, I'm left curious what I
should do in this situation. For whatever reason, sound would not play in TDE
until the user was added to the audio group and the system restarted. So what
does this tell me isn't working correctly such that non-root users don't have
sound access unless in the audio group? Obviously, for Arch, the standard is to
not have users in the audio group to prevent breaking fast-user-switching, etc.
What process then must be incorporated and relied upon to make this work
correctly?
According to
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture (footnote
[1] under Installation) sound access was provided to users via Consolekit in the
past. Consolekit is no longer part of Arch. I have kept basic build of TDE for
Arch totally reliant on Arch packages, so I would like to solve the sound
problem in the proper way so that this desktop is a seamless addition to Arch.
What is the best approach to finding a solution to this sound issue?
You shouldn't need to have user member of any group that granted access
to the any kind of hardware nowadays. That's handled by logind, which is
a replacement for ConsoleKit.
But, if you start your DE via .xinitrc, you need to make xserver start
on the same VT in order to preserve valid systemd session. Also, you
should have a user dbus daemon started, as I already pointed out.
If you are starting your DE via some kind of Display Manager, and given
that it uses PAM, its PAM file need to contain systemd pam file in
session section, unless you include system files.

[arch-general] Apache 2.4 revisited
Hello, I've wondered why no one upgraded Apache to 2.4 after being available for so long. Then I stumbled upon an answer on this list where it has been said that 2.4 breaks too many packages [1]. I've taken some time to verify what does it break, and fixed all packages from [extra] and [community] which had direct dependency on the apache package (mod_whatever ones). The mod_fcgid, mod_wsgi2 and mod_wsgi just need simple rebuilds against newer versions. PHP case was somehow strange. I had to modify some configure switches. Without --disable-cgi I'd get undefined references at build time and without --with-apsx=/usr/bin/apsx I'd get undefined references at run time. For other ones, I've found patches online and assembled them for direct applying in Archlinux svn (I used svn add and svn diff) In case someone is interested, patches can be found at [2]. It's free hosting, so it might suck sometimes. I've tested the packages against apache24 package from AUR. By tested, I mean compiled, loaded into httpd and checked that httpd doesn't fail to start.

Version 2.0.2 supports GTK+2 but not GStreamer 0.10. There are some legacy apps which still use GStreamer 0.10 and WebKit GTK+2. Having WebKit GTK+2 linked to GStreamer 1.0 while an app is using GStreamr 0.10 would result in a disaster (Rhythmbox had such problems before it was ported to GStreamer 1.0).

Count me in. FYI, I've already upgraded those packages on another distro and they appear to work flawlessly.

[arch-general] RFC: Mesa and shared LLVM libraries
Hello everyone, First, I am aware that ArchLinux is against patching packages to implement some features, but this might be worth the effort. Tom Stellard of AMD has announced a R600 backend patch against LLVM 3.2 few days ago [1]. It's basically his repository (llvm-amdgpu-snapshot) diffed against upstream LLVM (llvm). By applying the patch to ArchLinux LLVM package, one could benefit from enabling Mesa to link against LLVM shared library. Doing so, space would be saved and so the memory at runtime, too (I guess since it will use shared mappings). I've done some work regarding that. I've managed to split libLLVM-3.2.so from llvm package and put it into libllvm package. The package is a bit big though - the shared library contains all (~100) static libraries linked into one single library. The result is like this: Targets (1): libllvm-3.2-5 Total Installed Size: 21.77 MiB Building MesaLib against shared libLLVM-3.2.so saves space drastically. For all MesaLib produced packages, the output is like this one: Targets (6): ati-dri-9.1-2 intel-dri-9.1-2 mesa-9.1-2 mesa-libgl-9.1-2 nouveau-dri-9.1-2 svga-dri-9.1-2 Total Installed Size: 82.13 MiB Net Upgrade Size: -282.07 MiB 260 MB saved ... Looks nice to me. R600 backend will be part of LLVM 3.3 anyways, and this can be used in the future without patching anything. I am attaching patches for llvm and mesa PKGBUILDs to incorporate these changes. Do as you may please. If someone is interested in forwarding this to -dev-public list it would be nice. Have a nice evening. (As a side note, somehow llvm tarball sha256sum was wrong when I downloaded it). [1] http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2013-March/035561.html

In 9.1-devel, --with-llvm-shared-libs is turned on by default if you use --enable-opencl. On the other side, LLVM contains a shared library, enabled by --enable-shared, called libLLVM-version.so (ie libLLVM-3.2.so) located in llvm libdir (/usr/lib/llvm in Archlinux) which contains ALL of static libraries linked into ONE SHARED library. On the other hand, you can use CMake and build all of static libraries as shared. The first mentioned works for me very well. I am not sure what's the condition of that in Mesa 9.0 world.

[arch-general] RFC: Catalyst and Hybrid Graphics
Hello,
I have been playing with Catalyst on ArchLinux in order to get my Hybrid
Graphics working. Catalyst supports PowerXpress 4.0+ in Linux, so
muxless graphics can work.
It took me some time to get it to work, I had to workaround many stuff.
Here follows:
First thing that I was bothered with is that
/usr/lib/fglrx/switchlib{GL,glx} were missing.
Their purpose is to switch /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 and
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so to either AMD (Catalyst) or
Intel (Mesa and Xorg) libraries.
Each one is called with intel or amd as an argument, and both must
exit sucessfully with echo amd or echo intel after getting the job done.
I've managed to fool Catalyst by creating dummy files.
#!/bin/bash
echo amd
exit 0
By default, aticonfig --initial will use AMD (Discrete) GPU, so the
current installation seems to be okay. I'll continue with other issues
that can arise later in this mail.
Next major problem is that fglrx will load intel driver, which,
unfortunately can't be installed by default since it depends on
intel-dri, which depends on libgl which is in conflict with
catalyst-utils package (doh). I had to rebuild it without intel-dri
dependency to get this working.
On why intel driver is necesary, I can answer the following:
Most newer hybrid graphics are muxless, they do not have hardware
multiplexer and you can't select on which GPU you want to output.
Instead, Discrete GPU is just wired to Integrated one and is meant only
for Processing while it is on Integrated GPU to display anything passed
from the Discrete GPU. For more information on this term, you may want
to look at DRI PRIME and DMA BUF (An open source solution for this
mess). So in fact, intel driver is needed since it is used for 2D and
stuff, where fglrx only does the encoding/decoding stuff.
How to fix it?
Well, I couldn't think of any nice way to fix this. Debian has their
alternatives system so they can have multiple libGL installed and set
with alternatives. Gentoo does the same with their eselect stuff or
whatever it's called.
Since aticonfig --px-dgpu tells xorg.conf to use Discrete (AMD) GPU, it
also runs /usr/lib/fglrx/switchlib{GL,glx} with amd as parameter in
order to make /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 and
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so point to AMD provided
libraries. aticonfig --px-igpu would switch to Mesa libGL.so.1 and Xorg
Server libglx.so which are, you know, not present when catalyst-utils
are installed. (Xserver libglx.so is present, but it's useless without
Mesa's libGL.so.1).
On how to solve this I can only think of making another package (part of
Mesa source package) called something like intel-dri-hybrid (which
depends on catalyst-utils and can only be used with it) that installs
Intel DRI drivers and libGL.so.1 into some nonstandard place or just
renamed to something else like libGL-intel.so.1. Also, it would be
necesary to make /usr/lib/fglrx/switchlib{GL,glx} to correctly switch
(symlinks should do it, but carefully) between AMD and Open Source libGL
and libglx.
I haven't done this yet but some may want to use this - not everyone
wants to use Discrete GPU always - especially when on battery. I can say
that power consumption on my laptop has dropped even though I always
disabled Discrete GPU via vgaswitcheroo (radeon driver).
Any comments and suggestions are welcome. I can try to implement
something if necesary, it's just the question if my suggestions are good
enough and will be accepted.
I appologize for any gramatical mistakes.
