Rsh is broke ?? [solved]

Hi,
I'm new to Arch. I've installed "openssh", "cvs" and "netkit-rsh" packages using pacman.
I can ssh into a remote machine without a problem.
but I can't use cvs to work with a remote repository.
# cvs -d :ext:username@remote_machine/homes/username/CVS co module
just hangs!
i've figured that the rsh command does not run the ssh... hence no logging into the remote machine.
the following command is executed by cvs.... whose results is nothing!
# rsh -l username remote_machine cvs server
by right, rsh should invoke the ssh command, any idea why this doesn't happen?
I know it doesn't happen, because I don't get asked for my password on the remote machine!
thanks,
Shane

can you ssh into the server without a problem??

Performance In Simple Scenarios

I have done some performance testing to see if asynchronous triggers performs any better than synchronous triggers in a simple audit scenario -- capturing record snapshots at insert, update and delete events to a separate database within the same instance of SQL Server.
Synchronous triggers performed 50% better than asynchronous triggers; this was with conversation reuse and the receive queue activation turned off, so the poor performance was just in the act of forming and sending the message, not receiving and processing. This was not necessarily surprising to me, and yet I have to wonder under what conditions would we see real performance benefits for audit scenarios.
I am interested if anyone has done similar testing, and if they received similar or different results. If anyone had conditions where asynchronous triggers pulled ahead for audit scenarios, I would really like to hear back from them. I invite any comments or suggestions for better performance.
The asynchronous trigger:
Code Snippet
ALTER TRIGGER TR_CUSTOMER_INSERT ON DBO.CUSTOMER
FOR INSERT AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
    @CONVERSATION UNIQUEIDENTIFIER ,
    @MESSAGE XML ,
    @LOG_OPERATION CHAR(1) ,
    @LOG_USER VARCHAR(35) ,
    @LOG_DATE DATETIME;
SELECT TOP(1)
    @CONVERSATION = CONVERSATION_HANDLE ,
    @LOG_OPERATION = 'I' ,
    @LOG_USER = USER() ,
    @LOG_DATE = GETDATE()
FROM SYS.CONVERSATION_ENDPOINTS;
SET @MESSAGE =
( SELECT
      CUST_ID = NEW.CUST_ID ,
      CUST_DESCR = NEW.CUST_DESCR ,
      CUST_ADDRESS = NEW.CUST_ADDRESS ,
      LOG_OPERATION = @LOG_OPERATION ,
      LOG_USER = @LOG_USER ,
      LOG_DATE = @LOG_DATE
    FROM INSERTED NEW
    FOR XML AUTO );
SEND ON CONVERSATION @CONVERSATION
    MESSAGE TYPE CUSTOMER_LOG_MESSAGE ( @MESSAGE );
END;
The synchronous trigger:
Code Snippet
ALTER TRIGGER TR_CUSTOMER_INSERT ON DBO.CUSTOMER
FOR INSERT AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
    @LOG_OPERATION CHAR(1) ,
    @LOG_USER VARCHAR(15) ,

    @LOG_OPERATION = 'I' ,

Synchronous audit has to do one database write (one insert). Asynchronous audit has to do at least an insert and an update (the SEND) plus a delete (the RECEIVE) and an insert (the audit itself), so that is 4 database writes. If the destination audit service is remote, then the sys.transmission_queue operations have to be added (one insert and one delete). So clearly there is no way asynchronous audit can be on pair with synchronous audit, there are at least 3 more writes to complete. And that is neglecting all the reads (like looking up the conversation handle etc) and all the marshaling/unmarshaling of the message (usually some fairly expensive XML processing).
Within one database the asynchronous pattern is apealing when the trigger processing is expensive (so that the extra cost of going async is negligible) and reducing the original call response time is important. It could also help if the audit operations create high contention and defering the audit reduces this. Some more esoteric reasons is when asynchronous processing is desired for architecture reasons, like the posibility to add a workflow triggered by the original operation and desire to change this workflow on-the-fly without impact/down time (eg. more consumers of the async message are added, the message is schreded/dispatched to more processing apps and triggers more messages downstream etc etc).
If the audit is between different databases even within same instance then the problem of availabilty arrises (audit table/database may be down for intervals, blocking the orginal operations/application).
If the audit is remote (different SQL Server isntances) then using Service Broker solves the most difficult problem (communication) in addition to asynchronicity and availability, in that case the the synchrnous pattern (e.g. using a linked server) is really a bad choice.

UDDI - Simple Scenarios

hi UDDI experts,
For the SAP online documentation shown below, is there any tutorial or examples or how to guide available? Did anyone have experiene using SAP J2EE Engines UDDI registry?
Thanks in advance
Kiran
snippet from online documentation
==============================
Simple UDDI Scenarios
· One company publishes a standard in UDDI and the others can find and use the same standard.
For example, a tour office company may offer rooms from several hotels. This company publishes a Web Service Interface in UDDI and each hotel that wants to be represented by this company implements a Web service that extends this Web Service Interface. Later on, after an agreement between both companies, the tour company may use the WSDL of the Hotel Web service to ask for free rooms, book rooms, and so on.
· A published standard Web Service Interface already exists and you want to see who supports it and to choose the one that suits you best.

thanks,so I'll look deeply into that..I haven't touched anything related though..
Is (s)mplayer2 raccomended nowadays?
edit [solved]:
Apparently I had somehow "option DamageEvents" set to false in xorg configuration and that broke vdpau. Classic pebkac.

[SOLVED] Update broke font anti-aliasing

I've been updating daily, and there were just a few updates today (Sunday, 22 January). However, almost immediately my fonts went ugly. I tried rebooting, but it didn't help. Anti-aliasing doesn't work anymore in Xfce or KDE, which is all I tried.
I did notice there was a udev update, but there were also some library updates that I can't remember. I have no idea what broke.
Any insights or suggestions? The system is ugly enough that it's hard to read, so I'm moving over to an Arch I haven't updated today.
Last edited by eerok (2012-01-22 20:18:08)

Solved. For some reason I suddenly needed to add a hand-rolled ~/.fonts.conf -- one might have hoped that the Xfce settings would actually work for the Xfce panel and menus, but I guess not.

[SOLVED] Could I broke my SD card with badblocks or dd? [I coudn't]

I found some old, 1GB SD Card and wanted to use it as my EFI partition (well, wanted to check if my EFI system will even see it as I have no idea if it's possible or not). There were some old pictures so I thought - okay, it's working. I've wiped it with
badblocks -wsv
and the final output was
Pass completed, 216640 bad blocks found. (0/0/216640 errors)
which seems to me like ALL blocks are "bad" (corruption error). Well, I thought that maybe badblocks wasn't created to check SD cards. I then used gdisk to get:

I've tried to
dd if=/dev/urandom
too and all the other options I could think of, just to start over... but... it is just broken now? Was it broken before?

It was in some old phone of mine and appears to be as clean as brand new. But
sudo dcfldd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=4M count=1
gave
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
as an output so I actually can write into it, right? I played a little with the lock label but it's acting the same. If lock label is set to protect the data, the output is
dcfldd:/dev/mmcblk0: Read-only file system
so it's not the problem. I want to buy new card anyway but I just want to be sure that I will not broke it too. ;-)
I've found this:
The SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards have a "Protected Area" on the card for the SD standard's security function. The SD Formatter does not format the "Protected Area".
and also (but can't find it again to quote) that you should leave first 8192 sectors (blocks? I'm really bad with hardware) free of modification because the performance would be worse then (but no information about braking it!).

[Solved][KF5 Plasma] I broke my kwallet service

Hello,
I think I broke my kwallet service between updates and an attemp to reset it.
Few week ago, after an update, kwallet started to ask password any time I wanted to connect to a WIFI network.
As I didn't remember the kwallet password, I clicked "cancel" and entered the WIFI password manually.
Today I looked for method to reset kwallet and I've done this :
rm ~/.config/kwalletrc
mv ~/.local/share/kwalletd ~/.local/share/kwalletd.bak
Now i briefly see the kwallet password window, without any chance to do anything with that window.
And I can't connect WIFI network as it doesn't ask for WIFI password anymore.
kwalletmanager doesn't work :

Working again.
mv .kde4/share/config/kwalletrc .kde4/share/config/kwalletrc.bak

Then reboot and it was ok.

[SOLVED] I broke X by pressing a function key

My laptop is a Lenovo y50 4K. I have Nvidia hybrid optimus graphics with the proprietary Nvidia driver and xrandr modesetting in my .xinitrc. I have been using my current configuration successfully for a few months. The issue started when I pressed FN + F3. This is the function key that toggles my video output source / screen mirroring to the HDMI plug. I meant to press FN + F2, which is the one that toggles my screen backlight, but my finger missed the key. I didn't have anything plugged into the HDMI port at the time and X immediately crashed. I tried to restart X, but it segfaulted. I tried pressing the function key again, but under TTY all it does is type "p" in console. I tried restarting the computer, but that changed nothing. X still crashes. I tried loading X with a HDMI screen plugged in, no change. Now I started to think that it was maybe a bios level toggle, so I looked for an option to disable the HDMI plug in my bios settings. There was none. I tried rebooting into Windows plugging a device into the HDMI port and cycling through the HDMI screen mirroring options, disabling the HDMI port there and rebooting. I tried this because I had a wifi issue in the past that turned out to be a bios level toggle from my wifi function key that could only be set from Windows. At this point, The HDMI output would no longer mirror the screen at bios and Grub, but as soon as the Linux kernel loaded, the screen would mirror over HDMI again. I don't know if it's relevant or not, but I have used my HDMI port for screen mirroring in the past without problems, but I never used the function key to toggle it before.
This error shows up under dmesg when I try to start X.

Trilby wrote:If you have longish uptimes, I suspect this has nothing to do with the output switch. The switch may have caused a crash, but the failure to restart X could be due to this issue
It turned out to be exactly this. Thank you. It would seem that the function key causing the crash was completely unrelated to my not being able to restart X. I found the bug report here.
I followed the advice in the comments and got it running by renaming /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so so glamor can't load. I'll mark the thread as solved. Hopefully this bug gets addressed quickly because that fix feels like a dirty hack.

Everything is broke! gstreamer, pidgin [SOLVED]

Whats going on with arch? its not a bleeding edge anymore, its "fix you system after each upgrade" :\
First I had a lot of errors from ldconfig that /usr/lib/libgstX is bad because ELF header does not contain a good magic number (something like this), the same goes for libfuse and libulockmgr. So i simply removed gstreamer and fuse (and half of gnome on the way) and ldconfig still said the same, so I deleted the libXX that ldconfig complained about. reinstaller fuse, gstreamer, gnome and they complained that "XX already exists in filesystem" so I did pacman -Sf on those packages. Now I cant start pidgin because:
pidgin
pidgin: error while loading shared libraries: libgstreamer-0.10.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
What the hell?! cant gstreamer create all files it needs?
Also gnome-mixer applet cannot be loaded.
No more gnome-cups-manager
Duplicate packages like polkit and policykit, shouldnt new package that replaces old one, remove the old one?
Sorry for being that annoying, just some time ago, arch was more usable, you simply update and continue using the system. Today you update, spent half day to fix the problem that update caused.
Any help?

[SOLVED] - kernel 2.6.34-2 upgrade broke my wireless ...

... so I downgraded back to 2.6.33.4-1 along with the headers, got rid of linux-firmware and reinstalled kernel26-firmware.
But it still isn't working.
iwconfig spurts out all the expected info and the card (Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05) is seen, but wicd simply refuses to get an ip address. dmesg tells me that the firmware was requested and geography detected.
I tried restarting the network daemon and it fails
Hm, could it be udev that broke my network? Off to try...
EDIT:
Nope, downgraded to 151-3 but still cannot start the network daemon. dmesg is not telling me anything useful. Where else to check for useful hints?

Thanks ewaller,
I've got dhclient and a sudo dhclient eth1 does nothing, unfortunately.
PS:
Your post made me think...
Since wicd kept on failing with getting an ip address I told it to get a static one - and hey presto, I'm in again. Even upgraded everything again and am still in, so there!?

[SOLVED] System upgrade broke pm-resume (kernel problem?)

It now seems every other time I suspend to RAM, it fails to come back. I just get a blank screen, no backlight, with a completely unresponsive keyboard. At this point, the only thing I do that has any effect is a hard shutdown by holding down the power button. I had no problems before I upgraded on April 10. I didn't post this immediately because I wanted to see if the new xorg-server and associated updates would fix it, but it didn't.
Here is pm-suspend.log:
Initial commandline parameters:

Hi there. Me here with the same problem. Well I think it to be so...
I can not suspend/resume for the second time - when I resume the backlight turns on, but the suspend LED is not turned off, HDD works, CPU, fans work. My computer is Thinkpad T43p. And older kernel does solve the problems.
I am considering one more issue about this problem is that the drivers may conflict with the newest kernel (for example my opensource ati drivers). Any suggestions?
By the way, if someone needs older packages, you can use 'Arch Rollback Machine' (ARM - http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=53665)

Broke my sound, can't find soundcard now? [SOLVED]

Hi,
I'm having some trouble with my sound and it's escalated to the level where I'm not sure if my soundcard is even detected.
The story so far: A few months ago I invested in a Xonar DX sound card and some days ago tried to make it work in an existing Arch installation. I wasn't sure precisely what to do, so I followed the installation guide here (http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index. … e-virtuoso) to the letter and, hey, it worked so I was happy. I hadn't uninstalled my previous ALSA config or anything like that though, just wanted to get it working really.
Yesterday, I assume after the latest kernel update, the DX stopped working but my integrated Realtek still worked. Today I tried fixing it by first following those steps again, but that resulted in no sound card working. So I uninstalled everything ('make uninstall' in the src folders for the custom installed drivers, 'pacman -Rd' for alsa-lib, alsa-utils and alsa-oss, 'd' so I woulnd't have to uninstall every library depending on ALSA) and started from the beginning. Now I can't even get my integrated card working again.
lsmod|grep '^snd'
outputs nothing.
/dev/snd/
doesn't exist.
modprobe snd-virtuoso
gives "No such file or directory"
So, what should I do next? Will be grateful for any help I can get.
Thanks!
Petter Johansson

Nevermind, solved it by reinstalling the kernel and even got my new sound card to work without compiling custom drivers Just by installing asoundconf from AUR and configuring it to prefer my DX instead of the integrated. Thinking about updating the wiki on this front, since the ALSA article right now doesn't mention anything about multiple sound cards.
Is there any other easy way to select sound card?

[SOLVED] zenity 3.8 broke my scripts

After updating from zenity 3.6 to 3.8, most of my scripts dont work.
A little example:
#!/bin/bash
title="Server Options"
prompt="Pick an option:"
options=("option 1" "option 2" "option 3")
while opt=$(zenity --width 500 --height 300 --title="$title" --text="$prompt" --list --column="Options" "${options[@]}"); do
case "$opt" in
"${options[0]}" ) zenity --info --text "option 1";;
"${options[1]}" ) zenity --info --text "option 2";;
"${options[2]}" ) zenity --info --text "option 3";;
esac
done
This normally, when selecting an option should execute: zenity --info --text "option X"
Now it does not execute anything.
Downgrading to zenity 3.6 fixes the problem.
Please, a little help !

[SOLVED] Glibc broke pacman after 2 months without update

Hello all !
So I did an update of the system after two months.
To begin with I couldn't update because of the issue with the /lib.
Pacman was complaining that /lib was existing in the filesystem.
I used the command provided by the wiki and by some posts to update :
pacman -Syu --ignore glibc,curl
Everything went fine and 422 packages were upgraded.
But then when I tried to use pacman, I had the following error :
pacman: /lib/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.16' not found (required by /lib/libarchive.so.12)
I tried to follow several posts, and that's what I did :
- downgrade pacman (extracting the tar.xz directly in the /)
- downgrade curl (extracting the tar.xz directly in the /)
- upgrade pacman to 2.16 (downloading it on the web and extracting it directly in the /)
I still have the same problem with version 'GLIBC_2.16' not found.
When I tried to upgrade pacman to 2.16, no files were put in /lib, they were put instead to /usr/lib, so I don't see how it could have solved the problem.
Thank you for your help, I'm desperate now ! (by the way, I use yaourt)

The message error was different from the one about this update : https://www.archlinux.org/news/the-lib- … a-symlink/
It was that I installed glibc by extracting the tarball, and I was trying to reinstall it cleanly using pacman. It was complaining about the files of glibc already installed.
That's why I used the flag --force, only to overwrite glibc install.
WorMzy wrote:It seems to me that you're only interested in a quick fix, and aren't interested in understanding what the problem is. Coupled with the fact that you haven't updated in two months, I'm going to tentatively suggest that Arch isn't the distro for you.
Actually I am quite interested in understanding what the problem is, but even following the different posts I don't clearly get it, because I can find solutions, but not many explanations.
As for the fact that I didn't do an update in two months, it was because I had a master thesis to write, and I couldn't afford even one day of messing around with my system. So I guess I had my reasons for doing so.
I finally found the solution to be able to chroot back into my system, I simply had to delete /lib, and to symlink /usr/lib to /lib.
Now everything seems to work fine.
I am sorry if my previous posts were not clear enough, as I'm chrooting into a live usb on my desktop and using my laptop at the same time, it was hard for me to keep track of all the topics I followed.
Thank you for your help, now I'll try and solve my booting problems !

[Solved] I broke Gnome

I have been playing with Gnome Shell for the the last couple days. I was doing some stuff this morning (a bunch of different things), then I rebooted and just got a black screen with my mouse (which I could move around). GDM auto logs me in.
I regenerated my xorg.conf (even though I wasn't playing with that), and that didn't help.
Is there a way to kind of "restore gnome" or something or how should I go about troubleshooting this?
I can hit ctrl+alt+f2 to get to another terminal window.
