Cinnamon Desktop for Arch
I'm trying to get the Cinnamon Desktop working from the AUR.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php? … 3&detail=1
I got to the point of running makepkg -s, when I hit a snag;
==> Retrieving Sources...
-> Found cinnamon.session
-> Found cinnamon.xsession
==> Validating source files with sha512sums...
cinnamon.session ... Passed
cinnamon.xsession ... Passed
==> Extracting Sources...
==> Starting build()...
==> Connecting to GIT server....
Cloning into 'Cinnamon'...
error: The requested URL returned error: 403 while accessing https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon.git/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...
Any way past this stumper?
That link seems, for lack of a better word, broken. You can try again later or contact the maintainer:

It looks like the PKGBUILD may need to be updated. Of course you could check out the git page and edit the PKGBUILD yourself if you're in a hurry.

Best computer (laptop or desktop) for Arch
The title basically says it...what are some computers, either laptops or desktops, that everything works straight out of the box with Archlinux? I'm talking 3D support and everything. Thanks!! (Looking at the hardware compatibility list, it looks like the Dell Latitude D620 completely works :-)

My experience is that pretty much everything works painlessly with linux these days. The only thing you might have to look out for include 1) Soundcard, if you want higher fidelity than some onboard chip. Check alsa status when in doubt. 2) Any other "exotic" hardware such as raid controllers and the like, a quick google should tell you wether a driver exists for the hardware in question. 3) As someone pointed out the proprietary nvidia driver is by far the best at the moment, so better go with that. It should support pretty much any nvidia card out there.
Choosing arch should mean that even more hardware should be supported since packages are near bleeding edge.
Pretty much. For some parts you might have to taint your kernel, for example nvidia cards and broadcom wireless chipsets. -
[SOLVED] Cinnamon Desktop Selection
Hi, I'm running Archlinux with the cinnamon desktop, does anyone know how to achieve the desktop dragging? (Dragging a selection box on the desktop)
I know it's possible as I've seen Manjaro do it, and Manjaro is based off of Archlinux. I'm going to assume it is a package, or maybe a config file. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Last edited by Multimoon (2012-11-21 15:09:40)Thank you, I have used openbox for about four years now, so I never played with gnome that much, but the recent xorg update broke openbox's logout, so I switched to cinnamon. Overall happy with it, now that I have control over my desktop. Thanks again!

I use the cinnamon desktop. I just did a system update, and now, I get a behavior where after I log in there is a delay before conky and the icons on the desktop appear.
There are messages in the journal the would appear to be relevant, but I don't quite understand what they mean.
org.gtk.vfs.Daemon[476]: ** (process:577): WARNING **
: send_done_cb: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24)
cinnamon-session[468]: WARNING: Application 'cinnamon.desktop' failed to register before timeout
cinnamon-session[468]: CRITICAL: We failed, but the fail whale is dead. Sorry....
These messages only appear once per login.
So it seems this indicates that gvfs is timing out for some reason, but I don't know how to diagnose that any further. Any suggestions for how I could dig into this more?
Thanks,

Documentation Project for Arch [UPDATE]
I read this topic about the popularity about Arch and it kept me thinking for a couple of weeks.
I'm really devoted to Arch and I'd like to start a professionally-aimed Documentation site for Arch Linux with an appropiate installation guide and other guides for installing X.Org, Servering, Desktop-stuff etc.
My question is: how would you feel about it? Anyone who wants to collaborate? Tips? Suggestions?
Upon your responses I will post my 'plan' with a concept lay-out and system based on your input and my thoughts within the next two weeks. I'm only able to do Dutch and English.
:arrow: [UPDATE #2: Contents]
Ok, I've taken notice of all your comments. Many thanks! However, I was wondering which categories "slash" manuals their should be. I was thinking about the following:
1. Guides
* [AInsG] Arch Installation Guide
Covers the Arch Installation from retrieving an ISO to the bash-prompt.
* [ADskG] Arch Desktop Guide
Covers the installation and configuration of software desktop users mostly use like: Gnome, KDE, Cups, Codecs, Gimp. Stuff like that. Installation from Bash Prompt to X.Org with software.
* [ASvrG] Arch Server Guide
Covers the installation and configuration of software that servers run, like: NTP, Apache, MySQL, PostegreSQL, PHP, FTP, SSH, etc.
* [APkgG] Arch Packaging and Maintenance Guide
Covers the deep internals of Pacman, ABS and buildpkg. How to maintain, update, install, make packages etc. What to do if things fail, etc.
* [AKnlG] Arch Kernel Compilation Guide
Discusses how to compile your own kernel. I think it just should be there for user convenience.
* [ADevG] Arch Developer Guide
Covers the installation of software developers use.
* [ASecG] Arch Security Guide[/i]
Learns the user how to secure your Arch installation thoroughly.
2. Categories
* Guides
Guides like I've listed above.
* Howto's
Maintained Howto's and a link to ArchWiki for unmaintained Howto's.
* Advisory
When you maintain a linux installation you come across many odds and weirds. Newcomers don't know these things cause they haven't experienced these odss and weirds yet. So we could place that here for convenience. For example: XFS works perfectly normal, but Grub may hang. Or the fact that on some systems Ati drivers are unstable. That kinda stuff.
* Community
References to other parts of Arch Linux, like the BBS, Wiki and Homepage and the policies for writing documentation etc.
Conclusion
So, this is what I come up with. What do you all think?
:arrow: [UPDATE #1: Why no wiki & quality notices]
I've taken notice of the first four posts and I have to make something clear. The wiki is not the way professional documention should be taken care of. I'm really thinking about a 'Documentation Project' rather than a dumpplace on the net where every moron can simply post his experiences. Just look at the wiki. Just look at it!
What I was thinking of is to build (Me, PHP/MySQL dev) an Arch Documentation webapplication (or deploy and customize an existing system) and form a project team consisting of a couple of really devoted people, including myself, to write and maintain documentation.
And if people have comments on the docs, they can discuss it at Arch BBS here, perhaps a new room for Arch Documentation Project?
In my opinion the quality of documentation should be highly improved and I don't think letting everyone collaborate is a good idea. Especially not if I look at the Arch Wiki.
:!: Oh, and one last note. I don't hate wiki or want it to disappear. I think there should be two places: one place for us all where we can freely collaborate (wiki) and one place (Arch Doc Project) where official and maintained docs are held.
So, any thoughts upon this? Let me know please. I'll keep on track.The advantage of having a documentation team is that its possible to enforce high standards and strict quality control. As a result, you cover important topics that are always up to date. The documentation can cover Arch, GNOME, KDE and Other WM's installations as well as other guides relating to the ABS and managing your Arch install. This falls under the category of "Official Documentation".
In contrast, I think its important to maintain a separate wiki where members of the community are free to contribute. A documentation team could NOT keep up with every possible guide. For documentation other than the "Official Doco" that I've described above, I think the Wiki is appropriate. Gentoo follows a similar model with their official documentation and a separate Gentoo-Wiki (Which is completely 3rd party AFAIK). Gentoo is renowned for its excellent documentation, and through a dedicated documentation team we may be able to produce a similar, or even better result.
This doesnt change the fact that the existing Wiki needs some cleaning up in areas. I'd also propose a "Standard" of how Wiki's should be layed out, and an example of a "Good" and "Bad" entry. In addition, you'd need a watchdog to issue quality notices where appropriate.
I'm no programmer, so I'd love to be able to contribute to the Arch community in some form, and documentation seems ideal for me. Therefore, I'm putting forward my interest in this project. I've always heard various other people complain about the documentation on Arch, and I think it's an appropriate step. -
Hi guys,
i was going to buy a super expensive laptop at12.1 screen only for the portability so i thought why shouldnt i choose a netbook with 10inch?
things i need and i like for it
working super well with arch
ssd 16gig
nice keyboard
10inch screen
good touchpad
Under 700$
from america :S
I am buying prolly in Christmass and i am starting to search for the right one for our beloved distro...
Should i suppose that with arch and openbox the system is going to run smooth and fast? Am i going to be able to use openoffice and surf the internet and download from the net small stuff?? Would a hard disk be a better option? Would you go with an aluminum macbook (without macosx) nor with a eePc... Money is an issue i wont to buy whatever i can do my school work effectively ( i have a desktop with arch and big space for home) but most of the day i am of the run! Need it to work in cafes and everywhere i am able to work with other people except my home!
SO the big question is WOULD I NEED to spend a lot of money on an super expensive laptop with12.1 screen to do my work? (i am coding only... not running anything like blender and other stuff) and starve to death because i wont have any money left then or a netbook will to my work more productively on the road?
Thanks in advance,

You will want to see whatever laptop you buy in person so you know whether there are certain things about it that you like or dislike.

Mohammed Abdul MuqeetHi,
Try these 3 solutions
1. Did you start vncserver services as:
service vncserver start
2.Check that port 5901 has not been blocked by a firewall:
# nc -vz localhost 5901
You should get a connection and a termination. If you get an error, fix the firewall.
3. service iptables stop
Hope This Helps

How to use Oracle OAB Fast Formulas in Discoverer-desktop [ for reporting]
Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to use a fast formula in discoverer-desktop [for reporting]. Currently, we have a disco-report that calcuates the 'monthly salary', but we don't want to use that. Instead, we have a custom fast-formula [xx_oab_monthly_salary] which has the conditions and calculations that we need.
I want to use that formula in discoverer-desktop directly and get the monthly-salary.. i.e., someone needs to create a folder under the business area and add it i believe.. the formula internally calls a function.
when i checked about this with my dba - he said, he can add the 'function', but not the formula. and i need to write the calculation part...
does anyone know how to add it...there shud a way right...
i do not have access to the technical-stuff here..
someone said ["you can wrap the FF_EXEC.run_formula call into your own pl/sql function and map this function into the EUL so that the formula can be called from a workbook.", but this talks about pl/sql-do we need pl/sql
for this].
also, someone else said [ some fast formulas need specific contexts to be set. Depending on whether the fast formula below the only fast formula that you want to recreate in Discoverer.
For a single formula, in general my recommendation is to recreate the fast formula instead of using the ff_exec call].
any quick answers greatly appreciate..
thx,Hi,
That's right you need to develop the pl/sql function outside of Discoverer using a pl/sql tool or just SQL*plus. I haven't an example to hand, but can dig one up if you need it. Once you have the function developed you can map it into the EUL using Discoverer Administrator. It will then be available to Discoverer Desktop/Plus as a database function when creating calculations. So you can then just add the calculation to an existing or new report.
Alternatively, you can build the pl/sql function into a view and load the view into a new folder using Discoverer Admin.

Hello! Just like the title, is there a way to create a "common desktop" for all RD/TS 2012 users?
I know how to do this using regular W7 workstations and 2008 Servers, but the "Default" folder under the USERS directory is gone and I'm not sure how to get the icons there in Windows 8, let alone Server 2012 Remote Desktop.
I've installed Office 2010 on the 2012 server, but every end user that logs in has to manually type in "Word," "Excel." "PowerPoint." etc from the metro interface, then right-click each icon to add the shortcut to the desktop.
Given the... uh.. unfamiliarity of our endusers around the computer, this really isn't the best option. What I'd like is them to log on and have all the Office icons ready and availible for them.
Any ideas?
Matthew J. FazioHi,
You can edit the local GPP and create a desktop shortcut for all users.

System encryption using LUKS and GPG encrypted keys for arch linux
Update: As of 2012-03-28, arch changed from gnupg 1.4 to 2.x which uses pinentry for the password dialog. The "etwo" hook described here doesn't work with gnupg 2. Either use the openssl hook below or use a statically compiled version of gnupg 1.4.
Update: As of 2012-12-19, the mkinitcpio is not called during boot, unless the "install" file for the hook contains "add_runscript". This resulted in an unbootable system for me. Also, the method name was changed from install () to build ().
Update: 2013-01-13: Updated the hook files using the corrections by Deth.
Note: This guide is a bit dated now, in particular the arch installation might be different now. But essentially, the approach stays the same. Please also take a look at the posts further down, specifically the alternative hooks that use openssl.
I always wanted to set up a fully encrypted arch linux server that uses gpg encrypted keyfiles on an external usb stick and luks for root filesystem encryption. I already did it once in gentoo using this guide. For arch, I had to play alot with initcpio hooks and after one day of experimentation, I finally got it working. I wrote a little guide for myself which I'm going to share here for anyone that might be interested. There might be better or easier ways, like I said this is just how I did it. I hope it might help someone else. Constructive feedback is always welcome
Intro
Using arch linux mkinitcpio's encrypt hook, one can easily use encrypted root partitions with LUKS. It's also possible to use key files stored on an external drive, like an usb stick. However, if someone steals your usb stick, he can just copy the key and potentially access the system. I wanted to have a little extra security by additionally encrypting the key file with gpg using a symmetric cipher and a passphrase.
Since the encrypt hook doesn't support this scenario, I created a modifed hook called “etwo” (silly name I know, it was the first thing that came to my mind). It will simply look if the key file has the extension .gpg and, if yes, use gpg to decrypt it, then pipe the result into cryptsetup.
Conventions
In this short guide, I use the following disk/partition names:
/dev/sda: is the hard disk that will contain an encrypted swap (/dev/sda1), /var (/dev/sda2) and root (/dev/sda3) partition.
/dev/sdb is the usb stick that will contain the gpg encrypted luks keys, the kernel and grub. It will have one partition /dev/sdb1 formatted with ext2.
/dev/mapper/root, /dev/mapper/swap and /dev/mapper/var will be the encrypted devices.
Credits
Thanks to the authors of SECURITY_System_Encryption_DM-Crypt_with_LUKS (gentoo wiki), System Encryption with LUKS (arch wiki), mkinitcpio (arch wiki) and Early Userspace in Arch Linux (/dev/brain0 blog)!
Guide
1. Boot the arch live cd
I had to use a newer testing version, because the 2010.05 cd came with a broken gpg. You can download one here: http://releng.archlinux.org/isos/. I chose the “core“ version. Go ahead and boot the live cd, but don't start the setup yet.
2. Set keymap
Use km to set your keymap. This is important for non-qwerty keyboards to avoid suprises with passphrases...
3. Wipe your discs
ATTENTION: this will DELETE everything on /dev/sda and /dev/sdb forever! Do not blame me for any lost data!
Before encrypting the hard disc, it has to be completely wiped and overwritten with random data. I used shred for this. Others use badblocks or dd with /dev/urandom. Either way, this will take a long time, depending on the size of your disc. I also wiped my usb stick just to be sure.
shred -v /dev/sda
shred -v /dev/sdb
4. Partitioning
Fire up fdisk and create the following partitions:
/dev/sda1, type linux swap.
/dev/sda2: type linux
/dev/sda3: type linux
/dev/sdb1, type linux
Of course you can choose a different layout, this is just how I did it. Keep in mind that only the root filesystem will be decrypted by the initcpio. The rest will be decypted during normal init boot using /etc/crypttab, the keys being somewhere on the root filesystem.
5. Format and mount the usb stick
Create an ext2 filesystem on /dev/sdb1:
mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb1
mkdir /root/usb
mount /dev/sdb1 /root/usb
cd /root/usb # this will be our working directory for now.
Do not mount anything to /mnt, because the arch installer will use that directory later to mount the encrypted root filesystem.
6. Configure the network (if not already done automatically)
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 192.168.0.1
echo "nameserver 192.168.0.1" >> /etc/resolv.conf
(this is just an example, your mileage may vary)
7. Install gnupg
pacman -Sy
pacman -S gnupg
Verify that gnupg works by launching gpg.
8. Create the keys
Just to be sure, make sure swap is off:
cat /proc/swaps
should return no entries.
Create gpg encrypted keys (remember, we're still in our working dir /root/usb):
dd if=/dev/urandom bs=512 count=4 | gpg -v --cipher-algo aes256 --digest-algo sha512 -c -a > root.gpg
dd if=/dev/urandom bs=512 count=4 | gpg -v --cipher-algo aes256 --digest-algo sha512 -c -a > var.gpg
Choose a strong password!!
Don't do this in two steps, e.g don't do dd to a file and then gpg on that file. The key should never be stored in plain text on an unencrypted device, except if that device is wiped on system restart (ramfs)!
Note that the default cipher for gpg is cast5, I just chose to use a different one.
9. Create the encrypted devices with cryptsetup
Create encrypted swap:
cryptsetup -c aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 -s 256 -h whirlpool -d /dev/urandom create swap /dev/sda1
You should see /dev/mapper/swap now. Don't format nor turn it on for now. This will be done by the arch installer.
Important: From the Cryptsetup 1.1.2 Release notes:
Cryptsetup can accept passphrase on stdin (standard input). Handling of new line (\n) character is defined by input specification:
if keyfile is specified as "-" (using --key-file=- or by positional argument in luksFormat and luksAddKey, like cat file | cryptsetup --key-file=- <action> ), input is processed
as normal binary file and no new line is interpreted.
if there is no key file specification (with default input from stdin pipe like echo passphrase | cryptsetup <action> ) input is processed as input from terminal, reading will
stop after new line is detected.
If I understand this correctly, since the randomly generated key can contain a newline early on, piping the key into cryptsetup without specifying --key-file=- could result in a big part of the key to be ignored by cryptsetup. Example: if the random key was "foo\nandsomemorebaratheendofthekey", piping it directly into cryptsetup without --key-file=- would result in cryptsetup using only "foo" as key which would have big security implications. We should therefor ALWAYS pipe the key into cryptsetup using --key-file=- which ignores newlines.
gpg -q -d root.gpg 2>/dev/null | cryptsetup -v -–key-file=- -c aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 -s 256 -h whirlpool luksFormat /dev/sda3
gpg -q -d var.gpg 2>/dev/null | cryptsetup -v –-key-file=- -c aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 -s 256 -h whirlpool -v luksFormat /dev/sda2
Check for any errors.
10. Open the luks devices
gpg -d root.gpg 2>/dev/null | cryptsetup -v –-key-file=- luksOpen /dev/sda3 root
gpg -d var.gpg 2>/dev/null | cryptsetup -v –-key-file=- luksOpen /dev/sda2 var
If you see /dev/mapper/root and /dev/mapper/var now, everything is ok.
11. Start the installer /arch/setup
Follow steps 1 to 3.
At step 4 (Prepare hard drive(s), select “3 – Manually Configure block devices, filesystems and mountpoints. Choose /dev/sdb1 (the usb stick) as /boot, /dev/mapper/swap for swap, /dev/mapper/root for / and /dev/mapper/var for /var.
Format all drives (choose “yes” when asked “do you want to have this filesystem (re)created”) EXCEPT for /dev/sdb1, choose “no”. Choose the correct filesystem for /dev/sdb1, ext2 in my case. Use swap for /dev/mapper/swap. For the rest, I chose ext4.
Select DONE to start formatting.
At step 5 (Select packages), select grub as boot loader. Select the base group. Add mkinitcpio.
Start step 6 (Install packages).
Go to step 7 (Configure System).
By sure to set the correct KEYMAP, LOCALE and TIMEZONE in /etc/rc.conf.
Edit /etc/fstab:
/dev/mapper/root / ext4 defaults 0 1
/dev/mapper/swap swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/mapper/var /var ext4 defaults 0 1
# /dev/sdb1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
Configure the rest normally. When you're done, setup will launch mkinitcpio. We'll manually launch this again later.
Go to step 8 (install boot loader).
Be sure to change the kernel line in menu.lst:
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/mapper/root cryptdevice=/dev/sda3:root cryptkey=/dev/sdb1:ext2:/root.gpg
Don't forget the :root suffix in cryptdevice!
Also, my root line was set to (hd1,0). Had to change that to
root (hd0,0)
Install grub to /dev/sdb (the usb stick).

This hook allows for an encrypted root device with support for gpg encrypted key files.
To use gpg, the key file must have the extension .gpg and you have to install gpg and add /usr/bin/gpg
to your BINARIES var in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.
HELPEOF
Edit /mnt/etc/mkinitcpio.conf (only relevant sections displayed):
MODULES=”ext2 ext4” # not sure if this is really nessecary.
BINARIES=”/usr/bin/gpg” # this could probably be done in install/etwo...
HOOKS=”base udev usbinput keymap autodetect pata scsi sata usb etwo filesystems” # (usbinput is only needed if you have an usb keyboard)
Copy the initcpio stuff over to the live cd:
cp /mnt/lib/initcpio/hooks/etwo /lib/initcpio/hooks/
cp /mnt/lib/initcpio/install/etwo /lib/initcpio/install/
cp /mnt/etc/mkinitcpio.conf /etc/
Verify your LOCALE, KEYMAP and TIMEZONE in /etc/rc.conf!
Now reinstall the initcpio:
mkinitcpio -g /mnt/boot/kernel26.img
Make sure there were no errors and that all hooks were included.
13. Decrypt the "var" key to the encrypted root
mkdir /mnt/keys
chmod 500 /mnt/keys
gpg –output /mnt/keys/var -d /mnt/boot/var.gpg
chmod 400 /mnt/keys/var
14. Setup crypttab
Edit /mnt/etc/crypttab:
swap /dev/sda1 SWAP -c aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 -s 256 -h whirlpool
var /dev/sda2 /keys/var
15. Reboot
We're done, you may reboot. Make sure you select the usb stick as the boot device in your bios and hope for the best. . If it didn't work, play with grub's settings or boot from the live cd, mount your encrypted devices and check all settings. You might also have less trouble by using uuid's instead of device names. I chose device names to keep things as simple as possible, even though it's not the optimal way to do it.
Make backups of your data and your usb stick and do not forget your password(s)! Or you can say goodbye to your data forever...
Last edited by fabriceb (2013-01-15 22:36:23)I'm trying to run my install script that is based on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=129885
Decrypting the gpg key after grub works, but then "Devce root already exists." appears every second.
any idea ?

# 1. The Archboot installation image might have an out of date kernel
# (currently the case) which results in problems when chrooting
# into the install mount point to modprobe efivars. So we use the
# package snapshot on the Archboot media to ensure our kernel is
# the same as the one we booted with.
# 2. Ideally we'd source all local then, but some critical items,
# notably grub2-efi variants, aren't yet on the Archboot media.

I have Windows 8.1. I have had PageMaker 7.0.1 working fine on desktop for MANY years. Had to get a new hard drive. Now computer doesn't read the PM DVD. so I can't reinstall it. Can anyone help?
Sorry, but the chance of ever getting PM to work on Windows 8 is somewhere
near zero.
Buy a very old computer or move to a new application. -
Is snow lepoard 10.6.8 compatiable with aol desktop for mac?
I updated my aol desktop for mac to the 1.7.763 version and Im running snow leopard 10.6.8 on my imac.Im now haveing all kinds of issues useing the aol desktop for mac.Mail wont open and sometimes it does, web pages dont load, freeze ups in the mail part of aol. I s any one else haveing this issue? Some tec from aol told me its not comptiable. I could not find anywhere it says it isnt.I tried resetting Safari and it worked for awhile than started to act up again.I dont see why I should have to upgrade to mountain lion to have to be able to use the aol desktop.Im quite happy with snow leopard and Ive seen some bad reviews with mountain lion. Are there any fixes or Im wondering if apple is going to resolve this.Very frustrateing. Thanks for any ones time. Darlene
