Online Radio Management Software for Arch Linux

After switching to Arch Linux, I found out that I have no interest to try any other distro. Unfortunately I really missed something that I have used in Ubuntu, and that was Sourcefabric : Airtime. It is a free opensource radio automation software, and that mean if you want to have an online radio, you can make it yourself using Airtime.
Can somebody port this software to Arch Linux, or anybody have a better choice/solution? Any suggestion will greatly be appreciated. Thank you very much for spending your time reading this.

Read about the AUR. Create a PKGFILE for it and then you can install it via makepkg. Then, if it works well, submit your PKGFILE to the AUR.

Backpac: A package state snapshot and restore tool for Arch Linux

backpac:
A package state snapshot and restore tool for Arch Linux with config file save/restore support.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52957
https://github.com/altercation/backpac (see readme on the github repository for more information)
Summary & Features
It's a common method of setting up a single system: take some notes about what packages you've installed, what files you've modified.
Backpac creates those notes for you and helps back up important configuration files. Specifically, backpac does the following:
maintains a list of installed groups (based on 80% of group packages being installed)
maintains a list of packages (including official and aur packages, listed separately)
maintains a list of files (manually created)
backs up key config files as detailed in the files list you create
The package, group and files lists along with the snapshot config files allows system state to be easily committed to version control such as git.
Backpac can also use these lists to install packages and files. Essentially, then, backpac takes a snapshot of your system and can recreate that state from the files and lists it archives.
Use Cases
Ongoing system state backup to github
Quick install of new system from existing backpac config
Conform current system to given state in backpac config
Backpac is a very, very lightweight way of saving and restoring system state.
It's not intended for rolling out and maintaining multiple similar systems, it's designed to assist individual users in the maintainance of their own Arch Linux box.
Status
Alpha, release for testing among those interested. Passing all tests right now but will continue to rework and refine. Bug reports needed.
Why?
There are a lot of 'big-iron' solutions to maintaining, backing up and restoring system state. Setting these up for a single system or a handful of personal systems has always seemed like overkill.
There are also some existing pacman list making utilities around, but most of them seem to list either all packages or don't separate the official and aur packages the way I wanted. Some detect group install state, some don't. I wanted all these features in backpac.
Finally, whatever tool I use, I'd like it to be simple (c.f. the Arch Way). Lists that are produced should be human readable, human maintainable and not different from what I'm using in non-automated form. Backpac fulfills these requirements.
Regarding files, I wanted to be able to backup arbitrary system files to a git repository. Tools like etckeeper are interesting but non /etc files in that case aren't backed up (without some link trickery) and there isn't any automatic integration with pacman, so there is no current advantage to using a tool like that. I also like making an explicit list of files to snapshot.
Sample Output
This is the command line report. Additionally, backpac saves this information to the backpac groups, packages and files lists and the files snapshot directory.
$ backpac -Qf
backpac
(-b) Backups ON; Files will be saved in place with backup suffix.
-f Force mode ON; No prompts presented (CAUTION).

If AUR_HELPER is defined by the user, then either you might need a list of major AUR helpers and their command line switches so you can pick the correct switch for what needs to be done (most use some variation of -S for installing, but not all), or have the user define the correct switch(es) somehow for their chosen AUR helper.
That's a good idea. I'll add that to my AUR refactoring todo.
I also found directory tracking to be a weakness in other dotfile managers that I tried. I think you would definitely have to recursively list out the contents of a tracked directory and deal with each file individually. Wildcard support would be nice...I just haven't personally found a use case for it yet.
I've been thinking that I could just add the directory and scan through it for any non-default attribute files. If those are found then they get automatically added to the files list. That's pretty close to what etckeeper does.
Edit: I just compiled the dev version and removed my comments for already fixed things...sorry!
The master branch should have those fixes as well, but I didn't update the version number in the package build. I'll have to do that.
1. Still apparently didn't handle the escaped space for this item: (the file does exist on my system)
Ok, good to know. This wildcard directory business will require some new code and refactoring so I'll also rework my filenames handling.
2. Suggestion: you should make that awesome README into a man page!
I was working on one (the pkgbuild has a commented out line for the man page) but I had to leave it for later. Definitely want a man page. Once this stabilizes and I'm sure there aren't any big structural changes, I'll convert it to man format.
3. Suggestion: add the word 'dotfile' into your description somewhere on this page, the github page, and in the package description so people looking for dotfile managers will find it. You could also consider modularizing the script into a dotfile manager and the package manager, so people on other distros could take advantage of your dotfile management scheme.
I actually have a different script for dotfile management that doesn't touch packages, but there is definitely overlap with this one. That script isn't released yet, though, and if people find this useful for dotfile management that's great. I'll add that in.
4. Suggestion: since -Q is a read-only operation, why not just make it run with -f automatically to avoid the prompt?
Originally, running backpac without any command line options produced the Query output. I was concerned that since it is a utility that can potentially overwrite system files, it is important to give users a clear statement prior to execution about what will be done. Since the Query output is essentially the same as the Update and System reports in format and content, I wanted to be explicit about the Query being a passive no-change operation. The current command line options aren't set in stone though. If you feel strongly about it being different, let me know.
Long answer to a short question
5. Another suggestion: any thought to providing some sort of 'scrub' function to remove private information from the stored files if desired? This would be cool for publishing public dotfiles to github. Perhaps a credentials file (I did this with python for my own configs). Probably detecting email addresses and passwords without a scrub file would be rather difficult because dotfiles come in so many flavors.
Yes, absolutely. In fact, if you look at the lib/local file (pretty sure it's in both master and dev branches in this state) you'll see some references to a sanitize function. The idea there is that the user will list out bash associative arrays like this:
SANITIZE_WPA_=(
[FILE]='/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'
[CMD]='sed s/expungepattern/sanitizedoutput/g'
Question: am I missing an obvious option to remove a file from the files.d directory if I delete it from the files list? Or do I have to delete it manually? It might be helpful to add a section to the README on how to update and delete dotfiles from being tracked, and also a more detailed description of what the -b option does (and what is actually created when it's not used).
You are only missing the function I didn't finish. There should be either dummy code or a TODO in the backpac main script referencing garbage collection, which isn't difficult but I just haven't finished it. The idea being another loop of "hey I found these old files in your files.d, mind if I delete them?" It's on my list and I'll try to get it in asap.
And finally, just out of curiosity, why did you choose to actually copy the files instead of symlink like so many other dotfile managers do?
git not following symlinks, hardlinks also out for permissions issues (git wouldn't be able to read the files, change them, etc.)
I definitely would prefer to not make an entire copy of the file, but I haven't come up with a better option. Shout with ideas, though. Also, if there is a way around the link issues I noted above, let me know. I don't see one but that doesn't mean it's not there.
edit: I think a Seattle area Arch meetup would be cool! Perhaps coffee someplace? Bellevue? U-district? Anyone else? BYOPOL (bring your own pimped out laptop)
A general meetup sounds good. I was also thinking it would be fun to do a mini archcon with some demos.

Management software for VIC [M81KR] card "Cisco VIC Ethernet Interface" - Win 2k8R2

Hi,
I am configuring a blade presently that has a VIC (M81KR) card installed.
In the UCS profile, I configured 4 vNICS
- 2 vNICS for Public (One on Fabric A, one on Fabric B)
- 2 vNICS for Private (One on Fabric A, one on Fabric B)
I have installed the OS (Win Server 2008 R2) and the Ethernet Drivers (Cisco Ethernet Driver).
What I want to be able to do is to bond/team the links together and tag VLAN traffic.
-- I've downloaded the Utility ISO from Cisco, however there is no management software for the VIC (That I can see). There is only software for:
+ Broadcomm, QLogic & Emulex..
Any assistance is appreciated!
Cheers, Chris.

Just to add to Simon's comments, we rely on fabric failover rather than a teaming driver. This take the load off the host and puts it on the adaptor hardware.
The only other use case I've heard of for the teaming is in full width blades such as the B250 & B440, where customers may want to team across the two adaptors for great redudancy. As the MTBF for the adaptors is extremely high, this wasn't seen as a priority/concern. If you have another business or technical requirement that FF will not solve, please let me know so I can feed this back to our development team.
As for the VLAN driver, at present you need to configure unique NICs for each VLAN. I've pushed on this request for some time and I'm told it has been planned for a future release. I'll check to verify which release the Palo VLAN tagging driver (for windows) is tentatlively planned for and get back to you.
Regards,
Robert

Crover - generate OS version numbers for Arch Linux

Arch is a rolling distro, but did you ever wish it still had release numbers? So you could check what "version" you currently have installed, and upgrade to the latest "version" if necessary, with a reasonable delay between versions?
Of course you didn't. No sensible person would want to attach pseudo-version numbers to a rolling distro.
https://code.google.com/p/crover/
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/crover/
crover returns a version number for Arch Linux based on time elapsed since the distro's initial release (March 11, 2002). The number format is X.Y, with X being years and Y being subdivisions of the current year. By default, the version number is generated for the current date with a subdivision size of one week.
As of this writing, the current version is Arch Linux 12.1. In other words, Arch is 12 years and 1 week old.

Hmm, you could actually make this somewhat more relevant to actual update practices if you wanted. Were I to try to accomplish such a task, I would figure out a way to check and see if all the official repos are up-to-date (or just if all the packages the user has installed are up-to-date with `checkupdates`). Then, take the number of seconds elapsed since Arch's release till the last update (which brought that rig up-to-date).
Then, you could grab the user's list of currently installed packages with pacman and take a hash of it. And, by concatenating those two figures together, you could get some semblance of a "version" number. For example, mine would be something similar to the following:
378691200.4c41d609
Not to mention, with this calculation, it would not be difficult to format the time part of the version in a variety of ways. May be worth thinking about
All the best,
-HG

Ubuntu look-alike gnome theme for arch linux

Is there any theme/gnome package(s) for arch linux that will give me gnome that looks kind of like the gnome package for ubuntu? I'm moving over from ubuntu to arch, and I'm hoping to ease the transition at first while I get used to the rest of the system. Thanks!
EDIT: Actually, how configurable is xfce? I've used gnome and kde for arch a bit, but they're just so vanilla, and I'm still looking for a relatively nice graphical interface on top of cli. Thanks!

xfce4 is just about as configurable as GNOME at the level of gconf/ xfconf and way more configurable via the settings GUI.

Localepurge for arch linux

I just seeked for some thing to clean unused locales from my system and while I used gentoo I used localepurge, so I realize update this script for Arch linux
# unpac this package to your /usr/local (it will make sbin/localepurge and share/localepurge/*)
robertek.no-ip.org/files/localepurge/localepurge.tar.bz2
#copy this file to /etc/locale.nopurge (or wherever else but than you must edit /usr/local/sbin/localepurge)
robertek.no-ip.org/files/localepurge/locale.nopurge
!!!! Before run edit locale.nopurge file and write there your locales you dont want to delete !!!!!
Than if you are pretty sure that you edit correct locales just add "#" before NEEDSCONFIGFIRST
than you can run localepurge (/usr/local/sbin/localepurge if you dont have /usr/local/sbin in your PATH)
!!! BE CAREFULL THERE IS NO WARANTY FOR THIS SCRIPT AND DONT BLAME ME FOR CORRUPTING YOUR SYSTEM !!!! (anyone can just scroll the script and look if it is correct by you look)
For me it work great an I just delete more than 100MB of mess.
Feel free to make a package out of it I will be pleased (and please share).

RAID Management Software for TS130 (Windows Server 2008 R2)

Hello, I'm needing assistance locating RAID management software for the TS130 in Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard. In Device Manager, the drive has the following hardware ID: "IDE\DiskRAID11.0.00__". Does anyone know of a utility to check and monitor the health of this RAID array from within Windows?

Hi beau_goldkey,
Thank you for pointing out that we don't have the Intel RAID Management GUI software on the TS130 support page. We'll work on getting that resolved. In the meantime, the same software is used for the TS140 and can be found here.
I apologize for the inconvenience!

.dotjs and .dotcss for Arch Linux Users

Hi all,
I've created a new Google Chrome extension to enable the functionalities of .dotjs and .dotcss extensions for Arch Linux users.
Check it here; https://github.com/azer/.w3
Contributions and ideas are welcome,
Azer

Thanks for doing this, never heard of dotjs before, but I love the idea and definitely have some use cases for this.
Of course as an arch user, Im just kindly asking if you plan to create an AUR - package for this?

Thanks for Arch Linux

I am a huge fan of GNU/Linux and have been since the mid 90's, and I just want to say thank you for Arch Linux. My GNU/Linux history started with Red Hat, and then Slackware, then ultimately Gentoo Linux. I have been a Gentoo Linux fan for many years (since it's beginnings), and to be honest, Arch Linux is just as fast and in some cases faster than Gentoo Linux.
The install for me as a first time user to Arch Linux, was very VERY simple, and straight forward. I love the idea of it being installed at the absolute minimum, and I having the option to chose which optional packages are and are not installed from the get-go.
As stated, which this distrobution of GNU/Linux there is no need to compile from source, as Arch Linux is very fast already; for me and my computer anyway.
Again, thanks for this great and powerful GNU/Linux distro.

StackExchange site for Arch Linux?

Do you think there should be a StackExchange site for Arch Linux?
Here is a proposal: http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposa … oAgfiVLGw2.
You probably all know StackExchange. If not, have a look here: http://stackexchange.com/

There is already Unix & Linux: I doubt very much they would be interested in an Arch variant...
Unlike Ask Ubuntu, there is nothing particularly significant about Arch except that we encourage competent users and we already have an excellent wiki.

Win32 loader for Arch Linux?

Hi all,
Do you know any project like the win32 loader of Debian/Ubuntu for Arch Linux is on-going?
I am really interesting to install Arch Linux this way on my Windows laptop, than to use VMware or VirtualBox.

Pajaro wrote:what is win32 loader?
It is a program (.exe file) on Windows to let you install Debian(or Ubuntu) Linux inside Windows without modifying your disk partitions. Actually, the installed Linux image is a file on Windows filesystem, and you can boot into it via the boot menu of GRUB.
