Empty /etc/rc.conf? I got lost.

Hello,
I'm following the Beginners Guide provided in the wiki, the steps have been carefully written until the final step: the configuration. It seems that many things changed since that guide was written.
The file /etc/rc.conf is empty. Should I leave it that way? The guide is saying that many lines there need to be edited by me, but nothing is there. Is it a matter of adding them myself?
I've uncommented languages I need (ar and en), anything yet to be configured?
Regards,
Laser

You should try again, I guess.
There has been some bug report about this recently, maybe you should report there:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8898
When I encountered this problem I hadn't select all needed packages the first time... since I wanted to do two separated installs of pacman and the filesystem package.... this didn't work however, after I did a new install it went fine again... not sure what it is exactly but hopefully next time you try it just works (use some magic ), else you should really report your problems and configuration to above bugtask.

/etc/logadm.conf gets rewritten bug

I think I found a race condition in logadm that makes can corrupt the conf file. Firstly, let me say that any utility that expects to update a timestamp in a running conf file is asking for trouble. The utility should be "selfhealing" and the conf file should be untouchable with a separate status/timestamp file.
So I have a system running :
SunOS XXXXXX 5.9 Generic_118558-27 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire
At the same cron time, it calls:
0 3 * * * /usr/sbin/logadm
and
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /bin/rm /var/adm/pacct.[0-9]*;/usr/lib/acct/turnacct switch
At 3 am, both would be called. "turnacct switch" calls "logadm -p now /var/adm/pacct".
There must be insufficient locking or no locking because the result on my system is only the pacct record in /etc/logadm.conf; the previous standard entries are all lost in /etc/logadm.conf.
Result in /etc/logadm.conf:
/var/adm/pacct -P 'Fri Jul 6 15:50:00 2007'
The fix is to offset the running of logadm by a minute or two in cron. The real fix would be to rewrite with correct file locking.

nameserver 208.67.222.222 #opendns
nameserver 208.67.220.220 #opendns
works nicely as a backup if your somewhere with a dodgy dns etc
Yep, I just tried and it works fine when I use nslookup but web browser and ping still dont work. I can use googles ip 74.125.53.100 and everything works, but not the domain name. As for opendns Id really just like to get my standard dns to work for now, I know it should work because I use it on all the other computers plus it works with dhcp. After I figure out what Im doing and whats going wrong Im probably going to setup my router to use opendns.

No need for /etc/asound.conf ~/.asoundrc for mixing anymore?

Hullo!
I just installed the new version of MPD and was at the first time trying to do ALSA all the mixing of multiple audio streams on its own and found it working without any problems.
Sure, this is surely nothing new an might be the case since a year or something like that, but to improve the Archwiki article on this, I'd like to hear some more experiences with this setup from people who use other programs than me...
Ok, here's how I've done it.
You need a correctly set up ALSA as well as 'libao' installed.
To use libao, create either /etc/libao.conf(for system-wide setup) or ~/.libao and write only this line into it:
default_driver=alsa09
There are (at least to my knowlegde) 3 types of programs:
1. The ones that directly support alsa output
2. Programs that use libao for audio output
3. Programs supporting only oss output.
It is possible to mix the output of all these programs simultaneously to your card. it works!
mpd: (supports direct alsa output)
does not need any sound specific settings in the conf file. It chooses a usable audio output itself.
NOTE:I only have alsa as output device installed. I don't know, who mpd behaves when it finds artsd, esd, jack or whatever. Specifying a certain output may be necessary to have everything working.
mplayer, mpg321, gaim (libao)
these programs use libao to pipe their audio streams to whereever libao sends them, so setting default_driver to alsa09 solves all problems with these programs
opera (as example for the oss fraction)
Has to be started through "aoss opera" to enjoy sound mixing with flash movies and mp3s in the browser. To avoid having to load aoss before starting any oss-app, shaurz has posted a solution in the forums. Nice thing!
That are all the programs I've tried so far and I have no problems with scratching sounds or reduced sound quality (as the wiki says) but maybe I just can't hear any difference with my disco-damaged ears..
What I would like to hear now: Whar are your experiencas with the alsa software mixing systeme aka dmix in 'vanilla setup'? Did you find any programs that need an own asound-configuration or is this setup commonly-usable without any disadvantages so an update to the concerning wiki-page could be finally done?
greets,
jakob

I noticed something strange (cool) aswell. I've got an onboard Realtek somethingsomething sound"card" (using the snd-intel8x0 module). It didn't support mixing out of the box on Linux using ALSA. I had to fiddle aroudn with dmix after which it would work great.
I'm running a pretty recent installation and I hadn't come around to do the mixing part of my sound yet, but yesterday it seemed to work by itself! Before, I could only have one source using ALSA (e.g. one mplayer). But now, it all works together!
I don't know what I did that made this happen. Maybe just a simple pacman -Syu. Or maybe I got wasted and fixed it after I blacked out, another viable possibility.

[solved]Delay mySQL startup by 30 secs in /etc/rc.conf

Basically I use wpa_supplicant and it takes a a bit to connect, by the time /etc/rc.conf gets to the mysql startup service, mySQL cannot bind to my servers address,
This is because wpa_supplicant probably hasn't got an IP address yet, so mySQL fails to start at bootup every time, however right after the boot I can log in and manually boot it just fine.
Any Ideas? Maybe delay the mysql by 30-40 seconds at boot? Anyone know how?

Thanks for the reply but I solved this by removing the @ before netprofiles, so that wpa_supplicant doesnt startup in the background, therefor everything else waits until wpa_supplicant is connected before it boots.

DATAGRID FOCUS ISSUE: Focus got lost, while moving from one cell to another cell using tab key.

Problem: Focus got lost, while moving from one cell to another cell using tab key.
Example: In an AdvanceDataGrid, there are three columns having custom ItemRenderer with Spark TextInput control (editable=true & focusEnabled=true).
When I try to move the focus in with in 2nd, 3rd & 4th column using tab key, focus got lost. Most of the time it’s working, but some time it doesn’t work. There’s no clue as to how may rows/columns the focus has jumped to; or whether the focus has gone out of the data grid altogether.
Observations: I am not sure whether this problem is because of custom component implementation or it is because of some issue related to Flex Component.
It only occurs when we perform some actions like some server call, some complex logic execution etc. at the focus out event of itemrenderer.
There is one property of datagrid i.e. editedItemPosition which contains row & column index of datagrid. On the focus out event, it gets null when focus got lost. We tried to set it, but it didn’t work.
Steps Performed:-
1. Currently focus is in 2nd column i.e. Apply to #.
2. Once I press tab key from 2nd column, it goes to 3rd column which is correct.
3. Now if I press tab key from 2nd column i.e. Payment #, focus should go to 3rd column, but it goes out of data grid and set the focus of button which is outside data grid.

Cannot set locale (ignored from /etc/locale.conf)

I just installed Arch on my new machine and I wrote:
==> /etc/locale.conf
LANG=es_CL.utf-8
# LANG=es_CL.UTF-8 (I've tried with both).
after uncommenting it on /etc/locale.gen and running # locale-gen
(I basically followed every step in the wiki).
No matter what I do when I start any terminal, I found the locale commands output:
$ ~ locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=
I found that if I open a tty, the /etc/profile.d/locale.sh is ran so, the locales are correct and locale shows the correct output.
The weirdest thing is that my old machine doesn't load locale.sh, and still the locale it's right.
I've search a lot through the wiki and bbs and even when there are couple of articles, none of them help me to solve this issue :(.
I'm running my session through systemd --user (in case it means anything).
EDIT: Add more info.
EDIT2: Fix typo

Hi accidentally overwrote new pacman.conf with /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew

Hi
I accidentally overwrote etc/pacman.conf with the old /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew.
Pacman now appears to work but disregards the signing of packages.
Is there an copy of the pacman.conf from the upgrade around so I can merge
the two files. perhaps pacman.conf~, but no I think this is overwritten too.

Pacman not reading /etc/pacman.conf???

All right, I'm sorta new to linux and VERY new to Arch. Love what I see so far, but I've got a little problem.
I've uncommented out and added some repositories in /etc/pacman.conf, but when I run pacman -Syu it only sync's up with the core and extra's database. I have uncommented out testing, and added the kdemod repos... What am I doing wrong???
pacman -Syu
::Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
local database is up to date
Argh!

Yep, should've done that. Sorry!

Sudo can't open /etc/sysinfo.conf mac os x lion

I have been trying to get locate to work for ages now (well not really, only since I upgraded to lion).
And I'm having no joy. I keep getting an su error when /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb is being called.
Terminal just throws this cool error "su: Sorry".
Console (syslog) shows this error
(pam_acct_mgmt: error in service module)
Which apparently means an error occured in a PAM module
I decided to run dtrace opensnoop to find out what files were being opened and what was going wrong.
Mind you that I am not versed in Dtrace, this is one of my first uses.
This is what I get when I run "sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb" whilst running "sudo opensnoop -x -n sudo -e":

/etc/sysinfo.conf does not exist on my system.
This might be the cullprit, but I'm not sure.
I have been getting the very "helpfull" tip to just use mdfind.
Not being able to use locate isn't the end of the world for me, it just bugs the **** out of me that it doesn't work anymore.
I can't shake the feeling that I don't know what else is broken.

I fixed the issue by doing a clean install of Lion.
Now locate works as expected.
Incidentally, when I installed Xcode on my upgraded version of Lion I had the same problem that many other people had which was that the installer window (the one with the progress bar) got stuck at 99% even though Xcode finished installing.
I did not have this issue with the clean install Lion... hmm go figure.

Who writes /etc/resolv.conf?

Someone is writing the "domain" configuration directive to /etc/resolv.conf on boot. I suspected DHCP, so cleared the domain field at the DHCP server that serves the Solaris 10 computer in question, but /etc/resolv.conf is still picking up the domain name from somewhere. Who does this and where does the information come from?
Alan Feldstein
Cosmic Horizon
http://www.alanfeldstein.com/

Observed that ".alanfeldstein.com" was being appended to each inquiry (as suggested by result) of the following form:
getent hosts yahoo.comThis is incorrect. alanfeldstein.com is hosted by a service provider, not here. That is, it's not on the path from here to DNS. If a domain must be appended to a name lookup handled by DNS, that of my ISP (earthlink.net), or none at all, would be more appropriate. So I removed
domain alanfeldstein.comfrom /etc/resolv.conf. However, it reappeared after reboot. I theorized that /etc/resolv.conf was written with data from my DHCP server, so I emptied the domain field there.
Still, /etc/resolv.conf was being automatically written with the same date at boot time. This question can remain open (with reduced Dukes) because I'm still curious about where that data was coming from after being cleared from the DCHP server's domain field.
I did find that specifying earthlink.net at the DHCP server caused
domain earthlink.netto appear in /etc/resolv.conf of my NIS server, which forwards non-local names to DNS on behalf of my NIS clients. And that fixes the problem I was having (i.e. inability to lookup non-local names from NIS clients).

I never setup any dhcp client configuration before, but each time the VM is rebooted or started it seems that the /etc/resolv.conf always gets overwritten again.
However, in Server 1, somehow the dhcp client is working and getting the right DNS server IP address.
What I want to achieve for the Server 2 is like the one in the Server 1 where the nameserver I got from the ISP is also configured there.
That will made it easier if I need to download just a small file from the internet.
Other than that, I also wanted to understand what other configuration that could affect this /etc/resolve.conf file gets overwritten, which configuration and how to configure it.
Thanks in advance for your help in advance.

Hi Dude!,
To make it simpler, I can simply delete those interfaces (eth0, eth1, eth2, & eth3) right now and left with eth4 which I think can be directed to the actual question I was asking.
So here's the result of ipconfig on my host:
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
   Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
   Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller
   Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-90-F5-CC-F9-DB
   DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
   Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.5(Preferred)
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
   DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
                                       103.11.48.126
   NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled
As you can see from that result, if you compare the Server 1 and Server 2, the /etc/resolv.conf from Server 1 managed to get that 103.11.48.126, whereas the one in the Server 2 couldn't.
This is exactly what I'm trying to resolve.
Does this make any sense to you?
Just forget about the other interfaces.
Thank you,
Adhika

Setting global umask via NSUmask or /etc/launchd.conf and /etc/launchd-user.conf broken?

The procedure to change the default global umask from 0022 to 0002, so that most files created by one user on a machine will be read-write by other users in the same group, seems to have been broken or to have been changed in OS X Lion from OS X Snow Leopard. What worked as far back as OS X 10.4 and was officially documented was done from Terminal: "defaults write /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences NSUmask 2" (with a sudo, if not logged in as 'root').
Another way documented in various places and which I actually used through OS X 10.6 was also done via Terminal. Two files were created: /etc/launchd.conf (for system-wide global umask) or /etc/launchd-user.conf (for user-specific global umask). The contents of each were simply the single umask command, "umask 002" or ("umask u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rx", I can't remember which variant I used - they're functionally the same, though).
No matter which method I use, the 2nd or the 1st, the global umask no longer changes.
Does anyone know whether this has been deliberately hobbled under OS X Lion, requiring purchase of OS X Lion Server? Is this an OS X Lion bug? Or, am I looking at something wrong?

See this support article, which was written for OS X Server, but seems applicable to Mac OS X client versions as well:
Mac OS X Server v10.5, 10.6: Setting a custom umask
The excerpt below describes the use of /etc/launchd-user.conf, and strongly cautions against using /etc/launchd.conf.
Umask for user applications
In Mac OS X v10.5.3 and later, you can create the file /etc/launchd-user.conf with the contents "umask nnn". Do not include the quotation marks and replace nnn with the desired umask value, such as 027 or 002.
This will set the user's umask for all applications they launch, such as Finder, TextEdit, or Final Cut Pro, and control the permissions set on new files created by any of these applications.
Umask for system processes
In Mac OS X v10.4 and later, create the file /etc/launchd.conf with the contents "umask nnn". Do not include the quotation marks and replace nnn with the desired umask value, such as 027 or 002.
This will set the umask for all processes. Changing this value is strongly discouraged because it changes the permissions on files used by the system software. If the permissions are too restrictive, dependent software may not work. If the permissions are too open, they may introduce security issues.

Empty /etc/rc.conf? I got lost.
