/etc/rc.*, /etc/rc.d/{functions, dhcpdc, inittab}, more files gone
Not sure which forum to post this in. A number of my /etc/rc.* files, a number of the daemons I have in rc.d, /sbin/minilogd, and a few other system files simply vanished today. I restarted today, just as a matter of course because every couple weeks I reboot, and got the promt:
Enter Runlevel:
This seemed really bad. I made a live boot usb key (its an eee laptop), found the missing files, rebuilt my rc.conf to the best of my memory, ran dhcpcd out of sbin. And things, other than the files I replaced seem more or less OK. But this is very very strange. The only significant action I have taken with my computer recently is to install skype. Other than that I have been programming a rails application, but it should have no interaction whatsoever with /etc, and I never run any part of it as root.
Does anyone have any idea what might have caused this? Have I gotten linux malware? I have my data backed up, so I /could/ reinstall, but I also really like my config and just got it to my liking about a month ago so I do not want to reinstall. I don't believe its a corrupt hard drive (it has shown no other signs of being so). Any ideas would be appreciated.
Also I am wondering if anyone knows how to reinstall just the dhcpcd script in /etc/rc.d ... the binary is still there but I cant start it via rc.conf without the rc.d script, and that is very annoying. [EDIT] I restored the dhcpcd script, and it now complains there is no /etc/init.d/functions file. So I restored that and it complains there is no /etc/sysconfig/network file. I'm sure I can restore this too, but this is a weirder and weirder number of files to be gone, but they seem to be loosely network themed... I suspect I can google around for that though, my main question is: does anyone know what in the world or why in the world this might have suddenly happened to my computer?
[EDIT]: Actually the entire /etc/sysconfig directory is gone (assuming it was there in the first place and I didnt download a non-archy dhcpcd rc.d script)

Daenyth, thats a pro pacman command Thanks
Everything appears to be working when the computers running (ok, i basically just listen to music browse the web, run a ruby server and spend a lot of time in VIM on this computer, so I havent tested thoroughly). However, when rebooting I get the "is going to reboot NOW! message, then it just stops. If I hit power in this state, uswsusp kicks in and hibernates my computer, thats an acpi event triggering a little shell script so... clearly the computer has not stopped everything when it claims its going to reboot NOW! Any clues on the reboot stall? (pacman update completed, yaourted or recompiled from source all but some trivial packages that were non-packman).

How to move the custom hooks in /etc/rc.d/functions.d to systemd
I have a few scripts placed in /etc/rc.d/functions.d that were launched during the boot process.
Now I moved to systemd but I have not found any documentation about how to implement those hooks in the new boot process. As far as I got I need to write customs .service files, but again I lack of infos about how..
Can anybody teach me a bit about this or link some documentation?
Many thanksOk, I think I need some help here.
I want to call the acpi_call kernel module to switch off the nvidia discrete card at boot. Usually I did that with
# echo '\_SB.PCI0.PEG1.GFX0._ON' > /proc/acpi/call
I wrote the following /etc/systemd/system/nvidia_off.service:
[Unit]
Description=acpi_call to switch off nvidia discrete graphic
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/bin/echo '\_SB.PCI0.PEG1.GFX0._OFF' > /proc/acpi/call
ExecStop=/bin/echo '\_SB.PCI0.PEG1.GFX0._ON' > /proc/acpi/call
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
but testing with:
#systemctl start nvidia_off.service
#systemctl stop nvidia_off.service
seems no effective. No output is produced but there is no effect on the power consumption which should be several watts lower.
I also take a look at sysctl but it seems to control only /proc/sys/anything while my module is under /proc/acpi
Any suggestion?
thanks in advance -
A bug in /etc/rc.d/functions; and the release policy
This is a small issue, but how it relates to Arch's release policy is important.
I have CONSOLE="ter-120b" in my rc.conf, and I got following screen on startup. The message about console font is overwritten by the next message. Additionally, the right side is "[BUSY]".
http://i795.photobucket.com/albums/yy24 … ot/bad.png
It turned out to be a bug in the set_consolefont, in /etc/rc.d/functions:
if (($? != 0)); then
stat_fail
elif [[ $CONSOLEMAP ]]; then
cat <<"EOF" >>/etc/profile.d/locale.sh
if [ "$CONSOLE" = "" -a "$TERM" = "linux" -a -t 1 ]; then printf "\033(K"; fi
EOF
stat_done
fi
stat_done is not called on the implicit "else" branch. The fix is easy:
if (($? != 0)); then
stat_fail
else
if [[ $CONSOLEMAP ]]; then
cat <<"EOF" >>/etc/profile.d/locale.sh
if [ "$CONSOLE" = "" -a "$TERM" = "linux" -a -t 1 ]; then printf "\033(K"; fi
EOF
fi
stat_done
fi
The effect is shown here.
http://i795.photobucket.com/albums/yy24 … t/good.png
However, that made me think about Arch's release policy. The latest release is 2010.5, 10 months ago. That usually doesn't matter that much, as Arch is a rolling release distro, and the CD image is really light. However, now and then we may spot bugs in scripts like /etc/rc.d/functions, which come with the CD and remain untouched by pacman. Will it be better if we follow Gentoo's approach, generating installation media every few days, putting latest software (and more importantly for Arch) and fixed scripts in it?
PS. I'd love to remove some black area in the screenshots, but I can't figure out how to do it with GIMP. Help on this is also appreciated.

You are mistaken. /etc/rc.d/functions is provided by the initscripts package, which has been updated four times since the 2010.05 release. The current version is 2011.02.1.
I suggest you submit the bug and your patch in the normal way, so that it is handled correctly.
All right, so I'm firing a bug report and send in my patch there. I have also found that /etc/rc.d/functions has some style problems. It uses a mix of space and tab for indentation, and the misleading modeline option "ts=2" (ts means "tabstop") makes the code look terrible. I have tried several values, and ts=8 turned out fine(most likely the author use this setting and don't use vim). The code is still inconsistent in style, though. So I'm going to clean up the style too. Is that okay as long as I don't break something? -
[Solved] Boot error: /etc/rc.d/functions /etc/netcfg doesn't exist
Hi everybody,
Well, after a bit of playing around, wiki reading and trouble-shooting, i now have an automatic wireless connection at boot via netcfg2 and my wireless profile. Great stuff.
By the way, whoever wrote this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Net … _netcfg_v2, you deserev a medal.
Anyway, to the problem. I get an error message at boot which informs me that there is an error in my /etc/rc.d/functions file at line 155, stating that /etc/rc.d/netcfg doesn't exist (which is correct).
However, when I look at the functions file, I cannot for the life of me see the problem.
Line 155 is: /etc/rc.d/$1 start
154 start_daemon() {
155 /etc/rc.d/$1 start
These are my daemons:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng cups hal avahi-daemon sshd snmpd xinetd portmap netcfg net-profiles)
The obvious thing would be a problem with the netcfg daemon, but everything works ok, so go figure.
The only real reference i found was this:
http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch … 03699.html
I'm fine with an optional dep - how about we throw a comment above
'NETWORKS' and have rc.sysinit throw a warning it NETWORKS is defined
but /etc/rc.d/netcfg isn't found?
Any help appreciated.

Hi I'm new to Mac. I have a macbook air and for some reason the top keys, ec, f1 etc etc are not functioning and emitt the non function noise when pressed. Also the volume keys don't adjust the volume. Have I done something to disable them?
I don't have the same version of OS X here but try System Preferences>Keyboard. Is there an option similar to "Use the F1, etc, keys as standard function keys"?
If so, and it has a checkmark, uncheck it & see if that does the trick.

/etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf': No such file or directory
Hi,
First, sorry if this isn't the right section. I was quite hesitant on which one to post in.
I was using OpenVPN a few months ago, it was working great. I left it aside during a moment because I didn't need it.
Recently, I tried to connect to the VPN server I used to use (a friend's server, which is still up and running, I can connect with no problem on my Windows session with openvpn-gui), but I was getting this error each time I tried to connect.
Here's my command line with the error:
[brendan@Archisen openvpn]$ openvpn --config client.conf
Options error: --up script fails with '/etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf': No such file or directory
Options error: Please correct this error.
Use --help for more information.
[brendan@Archisen openvpn]$
client.conf
# Client

If I remove the "up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf" line, OpenVPN doesn't output any error, but I can barely resolve any domain name.
Do you have an idea on how to fix this?

Calling an external C function from a C file in JNI
Hello,
I am trying to call an external C function, from a C file which is being called by a Java file. I am getting an unresolved symbol error. I have tried many things like, making the external C function in the format of JNI, etc, etc. It is still not working. I think it has something to do with linking the two C files. If anyone can please answer this, it would greatly help me. here is the code:
HelloWorld.c:
#include <jni.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include "MyOldHello.h"
#include "HelloWorld.h"
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL
Java_HelloWorld_print(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj)
helloPrint();
return;
HelloWorld.java:
class HelloWorld
private native void print();
public static void main(String[] args)
new HelloWorld().print();
static
System.loadLibrary("HelloWorld");
System.loadLibrary("MyOldHello");
MyOldHello.c:
#include <jni.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include "MyOldHello.h"
void helloPrint()
printf("\nHello World!\n");
MyOldHello.h:
void helloPrint();
Now i use the Visual C++ command prompt to compile this by saying:
javac HelloWorld.java
javah -jni HelloWorld
cl -Ic:\Java\jdk1.6.0_20\include -Ic:\Java\jdk1.6.0_20\include\win32 -MD -LD HelloWorld.c -FeHelloWorld.dll
and now it gives me the error saying that there is an unresolved external symbol, which is the call to helloPrint in the file HelloWorld.
If anyone knows how to solve this, or how to call external C functions from a C file that is being called from a Java file using JNI, please respond.
Thanks
NickHi,
In your post on velocity review, you did not compile MyOldHello.c. You compiled a C file that included the header file for it and called a method defined in the header. The linker is never going to be able to find the code for this if you do not include the object file for this.
Try this. You will also have to add in any JNI libraries you need to link against but I am sure you could work that out.
cl /c MyOldHello.c
cl /c -Ic:\Java\jdk1.6.0_20\include -Ic:\Java\jdk1.6.0_20\include\win32 -MD HelloWorld.c
cl /LD MyOldHello.obj HelloWorld.obj /FeHelloWorld.dll

Crash on search function for HTML Help file (.chm) when connected to a Visual C++ application
Crash on search function for HTML Help file (.chm) when
connected to a Visual C++ application
I use the RH_ShowHelp API command to connect a HTML Help file
(.chm file generated by RoboHelp Word X 5) to my Visual C++
application. My application is able to call up this HTML help file
in context-sensitive mode and everything is working great in the
Contents and Index panels EXCEPT when I click on List Topics (after
I enter a KEYWORD for search) in the Search panel.
I got an error that said “Unhandled exception in
xxxx.exe.(HHCTRL.OCX):0xC00000FD: Stack overflow”
I am able to execute this .chm file by itself and the search
function works well in this case. I am using HHActiveX.dll that is
created on 2/23/04. Is this the correct version?? Any advice what
to do here??Hi agschin and welcome to the RH forums. The hhactivex.dll
file is not used by the search function so you can rule that our.
Have you tried recompiling and seeing if the problem still happens?
You can also start the Bug Hunter feature in RH - View > Output
View and then select the Bug Hunter button - and see if that throws
up any clues. -

HANA Server site JavaScript how to call functions in another .js file? thanks
In HANA Studio, I have created a .js file and a server site javaScript .xsjs file. The .js file and .xsjs file are in the same path .I create function F1() in js file. Then I want to call function F1 in xsjs file. But it always through an error “f1 was used before it was defined”. Any suggestion? Thanks very much
.js file:
.xsjs file:Hi Jim,
Now I have found the method how to use external library. If we want to outsource some of xsjs functions to an external library, XSEngine provides a special format for this, called “.xsjslib”. Then in xsjslib file, we define functions need to be outsourced.
In .xsjs file, we can import a library using the following code:
$.import("<Package_Library_was_deployed>","xsjslib File Name");
The Package_Library_was_deployed please refer to:
Access functions inside library by this path:
$.Package_Library_was_deployed.xsjsFileName.FunctionName(); -

Enhancement SDK-18016 - updating mxmlc's Embed functionality to recognize .pbj files as precompiled Shader files. This change still retains the old octet stream MIME type mapping to a ByteArray based class, but this change removes the hoop you have to jump through to embed a Shader. The new Embed usage should simply be as follows:
[Embed(source="TubeView.pbj")]
private var TubeViewClass:Class; //Subclass of flash.display.Shader
Also updating Embed MIME types to recognize .dfont files since these are supported by CFFFontManager.
Finally, updating FXG TextGraphic -> SymbolClass to use a simple FlexSprite instead of a Group. TextGraphic should now render at the right depth among SWF graphics primitives when compile time optimized FXG is used.
QE: Yes

Calling a function in an EXE file from Java Program
Hi Im having a function which is written in c program.i need to call that function from my java program, if i create a shared library (DLL) for my C code then it works but my requirement is i dont want to create that DLL , like in it would be an executable and my java code should access that function in that C program
I understand the usage od a DLL but the thing is if i convert the exe to a DLL
the server doesnt start at all so what i need is that i dont want to change
that .EXE into a .DLL,let it be an executable. that executable is in running mode
and through my java program i need to call a function in that EXE file.
Is ther any way to do it?Nope, but you have another problem: why can't you separate your server program
into a .dll part and a startup part? Both, when properly linked against each other
should give you an executable file.
kind regards,
Jos
