[Arch64] coreutils-6.5-1 & 6.5-1.1 broke, wait

I'm seeing alot of arch64 users reporting trouble with the coreutils 6.5-1 and 6.5-1.1 packages. Namely with the loss of 'su' in 6.5-1 and segmentation faults with 'ls' in 6.5-1.1
DO NOT UPGRADE to these versions!
See here for latest information on the 6.5-1.1 version and ls issues:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=209774#209774
Thanks.

/bin/su is missing in arch64 pkg -1 but fixed in 1.1 version.
ls got unexpected broken in 6.5 coreutils package for both archs. we will soon test a patch: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-c … 00153.html
changelog was short, maybe too short :?

[SOLVED] Intel 5300 wifi on new Arch64 install

I just bought a new Sager NP9262 laptop (but not really... it's huge, heavy, and sports a quad-core Q9650 processor), and put 64-bit Arch on it. I've managed to get everything set up on it except for the wireless chip, an intel 4965. I've downloaded the correct firmware (iwlwifi-4965-ucode) and the kernel module exists, but there seems to be a more basic problem. hwdetect --show-net doesn't list the card at all, and lspci -k gives a rather unhelpful line saying
Network controller: Intel Corporation Device 4235
and lists no kernel modules which could work with the device. Ideas?

EDIT: now uses 2.6.27-rc6, which I haven't tested. For something I'm sure works on my laptop, set '_rc' to '-rc5' and '_git' to '-git9', and uncomment the various commented-out lines dealing with -git patches.
Okay. First start with everything from /var/abs/core/kernel26 in a separate directory. Then, replace PKGBUILD with this

Enable any subfeatures you want, by pressing 'y,' but be sure to enable "Intel Wireless WiFi 5000AGN." Also, enable "Enable full debugging output in iwlagn driver," which is above "Intel Wireless WiFi AGN." Exit menuconfig. Run
$ cd ../..
$ cp src/linux-2.6.26/.config config
or on Arch64, run
$ cd ../..
$ cp src/linux-2.6.26/.config config.x86_64
Comment out the lines you uncommented in the PKGBUILD, run
$ makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD
$ rm -rf src # otherwise, it tries to patch an already patched kernel
and finally, makepkg!
Also, install the firmware:

Suspend to ram stopped working with Acer Aspire 5930G - Arch64

Suspend to ram recently stopped working on my laptop running Arch64. When ever I press the suspend to ram button in kde4 simply nothing happens, no screen flashing or error messages of any kind. I tried to install the pm-utils package and run pm-suspend, but with the same result. The program just ran and nothing happened and no feedback, not even in dmesg.

search the forums: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=556030
in the future, i would definately use yaourt to upgrade since it displays better what is being updated and from where.

[BUG in coreutils-8.15] - Wierd 'du' behavior on my server ...

Suddenly, today I needed to know what's the size of the backup tars from my linux-vserver based vps running fully up-to-date arch linux and I can't seem to find out why 'du' is acting like this.

So, there are not that much files for du to return total zero. And this only happens to be happening to the '/media/tars' directory. Really strange.

Is something wrong on my end or what exactly that means? Google did not clarify this enough for me.
EDIT: Edited the subject to be more relevant to the issue.

Further investigation showed that this is not happening with coreutils-8.14-1. I have installed 8.15-1 by running Syu on 2012-02-25 and after downgrading it to 8.14 'du' is working as expected.

4gb not showing up in Arch64

Hi all.
I finally installed Arch64 to take advantage of my 4gb of RAM and my Core 2 Duo. But I am having some problems. I don't think Arch sees all of it. It should not be a hardware problem because my BIOS correctly displays 4 gb. I left my 32-bit Arch on another partition and it actually sees more than Arch64.

Just for kicks, I took out one stick and both Arch64 and 32-bit see the same 3 gb.
Any ideas?

Its an MSI P6N Platnium with an Nvidia 650i chipset.
I looked through the dmesg and I found one line that seems to indicate the problem.
WARNING: BIOS bug: CPU MTRRs don't cover all of memory, losing 1024MB of RAM.
So I guess this means I have to update the BIOS, according to this thread.
http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1164174
I have never had to update a BIOS before, but all the how-to's require either a floppy drive, or a Windows installation, of which I have neither. I could install XP in a pinch and run the BIOS update utility but I really don't want to have to do that.

How to make use of 32bit packages on Arch64

Hello everyone, I recently installed arch 64bit which was not yet fully tweaked to suit my needs.
My 32bit version has some nice apps and I would like to know how to make use of them or even reuse them so that I won't download things anymore because I have a slow internet connection...:)
Arch x86_64 / XFCE4
Thanks in advance

You can reuse the packages in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ on your Arch32.
You can use these saved packages in a 32bit chroot ENV on your Arch64. Just pacman -U all of them.

SiS Mirage 3 671/771 - Can't make it work on Arch64...

Hi folks! I'm new to the forum (first topic! yay! ) and also new to Arch Linux. I am a former Slack user, although I was using Kubuntu 9.10 till yesterday (shiped with my new notebook...).
The thing is: I formated this notebook. Made a Dual Boot (Win + Arch). Installation worked just fine, i have a fully functional Arch environment. But the problem is about Xorg. The Videoboard is a SiS Mirage 3 671/771, so I installed xf86-driver-sis and xf86-driver-sisusb with Shaman (Chakra + tools are installed as well). But if I update my xorg.conf to use any of them, the X11 won't start, returning "No screens found" error. Using VESA, weird stuff happens... Strange artifacts on screen, "choppy" moving/resizing windows...
Before formating the machine I checked Kubuntu's drivers and xorg.conf (made a copy of the last one), and Kubuntu was using "sis671" driver, and everything was working perfectly, including some (I repeat: SOME) of the Desktop Effects. Searching through the forum, I found two posts about this issue but nothing described there worked for me. Links for those posts:
Sis graphics driver on linux?
[Solved] Sis mirage3/sis 671
This last one says [Solved], but i couldn't find clear instructions on how the author did it. Apparently, installing this url's drivers worked for a lot of people, but I can't manage to install/compile/use them.
I'm using Arch64, for my computer is a Pentium DualCore T4300, 4Gb RAM, and ArchWiki says Arch32 doesn't support more than 3Gb RAM. Can this be the problem for me? Maybe the only people who actually installed the drivers from that URL are those using Arch32...
I don't have to say everything works fine in Window$... crappy-SiS refuses to release a decent 3D driver for SiS Mirage on Linux, but work just fine with M$ OS. This annoys me...
Afterall, is there anyone who can help me compiling/installing/making-work this crappy video-board? If I could make it work just like the default Kubuntu installation, it would be great!
Sorry for the long (double)post and my awful english (I'm Brazilian),
And thanks to all in advance.

@mikkle, thank you so much! I followed the instructions to downgrade the xorg-server, installed the 64 bit driver and now it works perfectly! I have my resolution of 1280x800px and some of the desktop effects on KDE 4.3 (Chakra Project).
Anyway, if anybody else goes through the same and would like to know how to proceed, I will describe the steps here. First, I upgraded the system:
$ pacman -Syy
$ pacman -Syu
Then, after everything was done, I followed the instructions at the Arch Wiki: Downgrading Packages to downgrade xorg-server. Also did the trick to stop pacman from updating xorg-server.
After the downgrade, I installed SiS drivers from this website (I used the one precompiled for Ubuntu 64 bits).
Then I proceeded to reinstall Chakra project (uninstall it an install like described at Chakra`s website). About xorg.conf file, it is exactly as the one above, with the obvious difference to use "sis671" instead of "vesa" at the Driver field, looking like this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "sis671"
All of those steps took me about a day or so to perform, but I would type one command and go out for a coffee, a smoke, some chating...... and come back after two, maybe three hours. I believe that with some more dedication (and a better internet connection) it can't take more than 8 hours.
One last recommendation: if anyone will perform the same steps, make sure to read everything, downloading everything you believe will use, and really understanding the procedure before doing it! Seriously, I mean it! Understanding the procedure is the most important item here! Other than that, it is pointless to mess so much with your system, and in that case I would strongly recommend the use of Ubuntu (or anything alike...). Of course I had some other complications, it wasn't as simple as it sounds, but my knowledge of Linux was essential on solving it, knowledge that I acquired in years using Slackware (that has the same philosophy as Arch), reading tons of tutorials like those and really understanding all of them... The only reason I changed to Arch is Pacman (makes my life go faster)!
Thanks again to everyone that helped! Can anyone add a [SOLVED] to the thread's title?!

Connection drops with arch64 and atheros wireless

Hi, I've just installed arch64 on my desktop. I have a dlink dwa-556 wireless adapter, with atheros chipset. The card is seen correctly and has been configured. I started a kdemod install with pacman, went on for about an hour, and then it hung, the wireless connection dropped... I tried to start it up again, but only a reboot could help... now I started pacman again and after some minutes bang! connection dropped again...
this is what iwconfig says
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:CUT
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.432 GHz Access Point: Not Associated
Tx-Power27dBm
[cut]
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
[rest is all 0]
iwlist says my router has a quality of 30-40/100 and a signal level of around -76dBm
any help?

I think I may be experiencing something similar. I'm also running Arch64 and have the exact same adapter (DWA-556) and every once in a while my wireless connection drops. It only happens once every few days or so, but whenever it happens on my system it seems to cause anything Xorg-related (mouse, keyboard, video) to respond slowly. If I move the mouse around it doesn't move smoothly - it kind of jerks and jumps around.
Whenever the connection drops like this, I see the something like the following in /var/log/messages.log:
Feb 16 17:07:26 blacktower dhcpcd[19326]: ath0: carrier lost
The first couple of times this happened to me, I had to reboot to get the connection going again. I did find another way to get the connection working, though. What I did was unload the modules related to the wireless adapter, reload them, and then reconnect to the network. I wrote a quick shell script to do this for me, which looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
sudo rmmod ath_pci ath_rate_sample ath_hal
sudo modprobe ath_pci
sudo modprobe ath_hal
sudo netcfg -d home
sudo netcfg home
I'm using the madwifi driver right now and as you can see, I use netcfg to connect to my wireless network here. I've tried the ath5k driver but I seem to have the same issue with that. I haven't really found a solution to this yet, but the workaround of removing the modules, reloading them, and then reconnecting has worked well enough so far. If I dig up anything else helpful on this, I'll be glad to post it here.

[SOLVED] Arch64, Opera and plugins library problem

I have Arch64 with Opera 64-bit as default browser. I have succesfully installed 32-bit flashplugin and it works nicely. The only problem is that fonts cannot be read from the flash player context menu and Open File dialog opened from flash player. The problem is that flashplugin tries to load 64-bit GTK from /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/ and it fails. 32-bit version is installed and it's located in /opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/.
Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libmurrine.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libpixmap.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Also I have library loading problem with totem-plugin. It cannot find libxul.so and libxpcom.so, but both library files are located in /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.1/. The plugin loads fine if I create links to both files in /usr/lib/. But that doesn't seem like right solution to me.
$ ldd libtotem-mully-plugin.so
libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x00007f94e19d9000)
libtotem-plparser-mini.so.10 => /usr/lib/libtotem-plparser-mini.so.10 (0x00007f94e17d6000)
libxul.so => not found
libxpcom.so => not found
libplds4.so => /usr/lib/libplds4.so (0x00007f94e15d2000)
What would be a most elegant way of solving these two library loading problems?
I think that symbolic links and moving files are not the most elegant way to solve the problem. Maybe some environment variable or some configuration setting would solve the problem (LDPATH comes to mind, but it seems that it doesn't work).
EDIT: I wasn't sure in which section to post this question, so feel free to move it if necessary.

I have solved my problem and I will post my solution because it can be usefull to others.
First the problem with flashplugin and GTK library path. Opera uses operapluginwrapper scirpt to detect if the plugin is 32-bit or 64-bit and after detection it uses operapluiginwrapper-ia32-linux for 32-bit or operapluginwrapper-native for 64-bit plugins. operapluiginwrapper-ia32-linux loads the 32-bit flashplugin in my case which requires GTK, but it incorectly tries to load it form /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/ where 64-bit version of GTK resides.
The solution is to set the GTK_PATH environment variable to point to /opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/ where 32-bit version resides. But if you set it globaly it will result in problems with other 64-bit applications. So the correct solution is to add following lines on the bottom of the operapluginwrapper script above the exec line:
case "$wrapper" in
*ia32*)
export GTK_PATH="/opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0"
export PANGO_RC_FILE="/opt/lib32/config/pango/pangorc"
esac
In this way the 32-bit paths will be active only for operapluginwrapper-ia32-linux process.
I have solved the other problem with totem-plugin requesting libxul.so and libxpcom.so, but the solution idoesn't matter because, although totem-plugin loads coreclty it doesn't work in opera. I have installed mplayer-plugin which works as it should. Also gecko-mediaplayer works correctly with opera, I have tested them both. Install one of the two plugins that work, and you will be fine.

Do I need glibc and coreutils in PKGBUILD depends?

I'm submitting a package to the AUR and the only two packages it depends on are glibc and coreutils. The Arch wiki says (basically) not to include packages that are guaranteed to already be on everyone's system. Since both of those packages are essential packages and part of the base group, do I need to include them in the depends array of the PKGBUILD, or can I just leave it empty?
PS: I apologize if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anything specific when I searched for this.

Ok, based on both of your input and looking at other packages, I think I will include glibc but not coreutils. If I do 'pacman -Qi coreutils' on my system there's only 5 packages that list it as a dependency, as opposed to ~50 that list glibc. Plus, the only reason it needs coreutils is for cp and rm, and a system without those commands probably can't even run a package manager let alone install my package
Thanks!

Wlan rtl8191se causes freeze on arch64

Hello,
i've got a new Toshiba L505-10j with realtek rtl8192se wlanadapter. There is no Linux-support for this one, so I had to install them by myself... I found drivers from realtek in a forum. They where on the official site only for a couple of days. I installed them with "make install". The interface was found after a reboot. After using Wlan-Connection a few seconds my system freezes. I tried networkmanager and wicd with the same effect.
I tried the same with GNU/Linux Mint(also x86_64) and I coud use my network without problems, so it should be a problem of arch/arch64.
I've also tried ndiswrapper, but it only works with 32bit.

[solved] Missing 1G Memory, arch64. How to find back?

It was a bios issue.
After flashing the bios to 1.1o, free -m reports satisfactory 3879m memory
the acer flashtool supports Vista and Dos.
It seems a piece of common knowledge that Arch64 supports 4G + memory, and I have no doubt of that.
But I still have 1G memory missing after switching to Arch64.
Probably reserved for the video, which shares up to 1G mem?
The laptop is an acer aspire 5735, with 4G mem, and intel 4500MHD
Someone could do diagnosis for the machine?
I've spent some time searching without getting solid answers.
Many thanks

Thanks a lot for the replies.

The BIOS is quite primitive, i will check after this posting and report back
It says the "extended memory" is 4g, but unfortunately metions nothing about Remapping.

It seems Video is normal, and the problem exists beyond the video memory reservation, if I understand the following line correctly
(II) intel(0): I830CheckAvailableMemory: 2927612 kB available
by the way, Vista recognized full 4G mem. I have had a peek of the system info before I deleted the MS os.....

Compiling libtorrent & rtorrent for arch64

rtorrent is a pretty nice Ncurses BitTorrent client based on libTorrent.
3 weeks ago, I built lib+rtorrent-0.6.3 from default aur PKGBUILD under arch64 and it is working fine.
New version 0.6.4 PKGBUILD differs from previous as it gives specific CXXFLAGS options.
Is there any need/interest to switch from "old" (below) to "new" CXXFLAGS style?
build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
patch -p1 < ../rtorrent.patch
CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -fno-strength-reduce -fno-thread-jumps -fno-inline -fforce-addr"
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-debug
make || return 1
make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
Or switch to new one which I think would be:
if [ "$CARCH" == "x86_64" ]; then
CXXFLAGS="-march=x86_64 -Os -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -fno-thread-jumps -fno-inline -fforce-addr"
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-debug
else
CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -Os -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -fno-thread-jumps -fno-inline -fforce-addr"
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-debug
fi

Cerebral wrote:As for the arch= question, not a lot of package submitters/maintainers in the AUR have an x86_64 system, so they don't know whether or not it compiles on Arch64 - they can't put arch=(x86_64) unless they can verify it in some way. Also, the arch= tag is fairly new, so I'd imagine some people don't even know it exists - in general they should be using it though.
Oh that makes sense
Haven't had any issue while running rtorrent's built with Arch64's makepkg.conf defaults flags (ok, with 'march=athlon64') as I still use ${CXXFLAGS} even on the latest 0.6.4 release. Maybe I'm lucky.
In fact rtorrent on arch64 is slower to be responsive after it started than on arch i686 (where I use the community package i guess).
Then after a minute it's fully functionnal, and's doing an amazing job here I dunno how to recognize "out-of-memory errors" unless they print something on the console.
codemac : strange. I wouldn't worry if I was you. Some others linuxtracker registered users also use lib/rtorrent. But never one has had version up-to-date to Arch's
:? pliz excuse my poor English; it's getting pretty late here

Arch64 on my laptop

I know this has been asked a million times else probably, but for a while now I've be considering trying Arch64. My laptop has one of the newer mobile sempron single cores that support x86_64. Some others have said that using it on the same laptop I have has improved compiz-fusion and some other programs, but they've been using the ubuntu 64bit. Is it really worth it? or are they just exaggerating? Most of the the posts I've seen on here say there is really no reason to change. Also, does catalyst work with x86_64?
