Rsync in PKGBUILD sources

I am trying to write a PKGBUILD for which the sources are not available as a single tarball/zip/etc., but can be downloaded (e.g.) using rsync -avz. While an URI of rsync:// in the sources array is understood, it does not trigger archive (-a) mode, which is necessary to recursively download all the files.
I guess I could just download everything in prepare() and compare the checksums manually, but perhaps there is a better way to cover this case in PKGBUILDs?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

AFAIK you could set DLAGENT in your PKGBUILD and it would take precedence over the makepkg.conf settings. This is not documented, nor have I tried it out myself - it's just a possible workaround while you wait for the response to the feature request recommended by Scimmia.

[solved] Multiple hyphens in PKGBUILD source directive

Moderator: If this is not the correct forum please feel free to move this as appropriate.
Hello,
I have been trying my hand at creating PKBUILDS and submitting them to ABS. This problem has me stumped.
I have a source file that is named hpgcc-2.0-sp2-linux.tar
I call the pkg hpgcc, and the version 2.0_sp2. The architecture I ignore since this is a PKGBUILD for (duh) Linux
I create the source directive like:
source=(http://www.hpcalc.org/hp49/pc/programming/$pkgname-${pkgver/_/-}-linux.tar.bz2)
So far, so good. makepkg runs and builds a package, pacman -U installs it, no problem.
Clean the directory, archive it, uploaded to AUR. Okay. Download the tarbell to another computer, makepkg and install, no problem.
The issue is that the AUR page on the website munges the source file name:
hpgcc 2.0_sp2-2
http://hpcalc.org
gcc C Compiler for HP 48,49,50 Calculators

Tarball :: Files :: PKGBUILD

I don't think this is right -- a cursory look at other ABS pages all looked correct. Am I missing something, is this a bug in the ARCH ABS site? or is this a just don't care?

This happens because AUR doesn't source PKGBUILD (for security reasons). You can leave it as it is or hardcode the source url.

Makepkg: Record PKGBUILD sources in .PKGINFO files for maintenance

To me, it seems like a good idea to record all the source files listed in PKGBUILD's to their accompanying .PKGINFO files; then, should the user have configured the $SRCDEST variable in his /etc/makepkg.conf, this would allow old source files to be (optionally) automatically removed when `pacman -Sc' is run, the package is upgraded, or uninstalled. Such a feature would save (me) a lot of time and effort manually sorting through and cleaning them.
Do you "concur"? ( )
Of course, for this feature to be really useful, you would have to compile from source often.

This script will parse all the PKGBUILD's in your $ABSROOT directory, collect all their sources into an array, and interactively remove each package NOT in the array from your $SRCDEST, although recording each pkg's source files into its .PKGINFO file would be SO much easier, faster, simpler, and safer (as no unwanted code -- such as little tid bits outside the build() method of PKGBUILD's -- is executed while the sources are being collected).
#!/bin/bash

PKGBUILD source conflict problem [solved]

I'm making a PKGBUILD for a game called noiz2sa. The problem is, it comes in two separate pieces - one is the binary and the other is some extra files and when extracted they both have the same name - noiz2sa. Because of this, when I put the both in the source= section and run makepkg, one of them inevitably gets overwritten. Is there a way to fix this?
Edit: I couldn't find a delete option so I'm marking this solved - after reading the PKGBUILD man page again, the noextract option was what I needed to work around this issue.

Rsync vs dbcopy for migrating to new server

There is plenty of information about using dbcopy to achieve a server to server migration of Groupwise, and it's particular useful because initially Groupwise can be copied live.
In my case, GW resides on NSS, so for dbcopy, I need to do a ncpmount first, then
Code:
dbcopy -m -f [-p |-d]
shutdown the agents for the the final:
Code:
dbcopy -m -s [-p | -d]
DBCOPY IS SLOOOW - Well at least according to TID 7010760: "Note: Typical dbcopy throughput is 6GB/hour."
So in the interests of maximum speed my question is - If the agents are shutdown, and no dbcopies have taken place yet, or maybe the first one has, is it ok to just use rsync and not worry about dbcopy?
Code:
rsync -av --delete source-po dest-po
rsync -av --delete source-dom dest-dom
I even thought about using (with GW shutdown) sftp as it pulls data at between 1-2GB per min, then follow up with rsync as a double check.
I am yet to do some proper testing and time trials, but just wondering what others have found.
Thoughts anyone?

As we are going linux to linux the dbcopy lower-case conversion is not relevant.
Yes, but there can be a catch. NSS is case insensitive, even on OES when NSS uses the long format (which is the default name space ever since OES2 SP1) . It is possible that you have been running GroupWise on OES with NSS as filesystem and are now moving to a Linux native filesystem.... that *could* warrant running a dbcopy with the m option.
But as you are moving to NSS with, I assume the default "long" namespace set, that is not an issue.

That's not paranoid imo, that's showing good sense
But yes, it is normal that you will see a slightly larger copy on the target side. It has to do with dbcopy logs but also some other files that I have not looked closely at.

Are there gwcheck routines that would clean up the extra files that dbcopy built up at the target? Maybe the orphaned file check that I see in the logs would do such a thing..?
GroupWise PO content maintenance jobs will clean up "stuff" like logs and unused databases/blob files etc. But it won't clean up everything.
Sure, you can run rsync to make sure source and target match up 100%, but do do so while no GroupWise agents are running against the data storage you are rsync'ing.

Source() for sourceforge ... a kind of feature-request ...

while building some packages and rebuilding existing ones and trying to make new ones i realized something that can be enhanced in this process:
e.g. you want to build kguitar as a package:
you can find the project page at sourceforge
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kguitar/
and the download-url is ... hmm sourceforge has a lot of mirrors, but not all have all things always available ... this is why sometimes a package in incoming doesnt want to build imediately (you must change the sourceforge-mirror in PKGBUILD)
ok, let's go by hand to sourceforge and click the file you want ... you get this url:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/kgui … 2?download
and exactly this is the url for the source() in the PKGBUILD in general --- you must only change instead of "prdownloads" you must put a mirror-prefix like "switch.dl" (and remove the "download" variable from the url, that's clear)
MY IDEA:
what about having a variable for all packages from sourceforge that generates a prefix of a mirror for sourceforge, so that you can say simply in PKGBUILD
source(http://$sfmirror/$pkgname/...)
and if the download fails with this mirror, makepkg can have a fallback to change $sfmirror to the next mirror
the mirrors i found out till now are:
twtelecom.dl.sourceforge.net
cesnet.dl.sourceforge.net
heanet.dl.sourceforge.net
keihanna.dl.sourceforge.net
unc.dl.sourceforge.net
aleron.dl.sourceforge.net
umn.dl.sourceforge.net
belnet.dl.sourceforge.net
switch.dl.sourceforge.net
-> this would help building packages from sourceforge

uh no look at the date of that post. at that time i was still maintaining packages for arch. four months later i was not using arch at all. somewhere between january this year and now i told Xentac/Jason how it was handled with that other distro i used after arch. i suppose he mever bothered to pass it on. .....

Rsync over afp

I'm trying to rsync from a source remote folder to a local folder:
rsync -a afp://192.168.1.101/Documents/matty-test ./
I get the following error:
ssh: Error resolving hostname afp: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
Not sure what ssh has to do with all of this

rsync -a afp://192.168.1.101/Documents/matty-test ./
rsync knows 2 network protocols. Its own for communicating with a remote rsyncd daemon, and ssh for secure remote communications.
When you specify a colon (:) in a path, it assumes this is the remote.system.address:/path/to/remote/file/or/directory. It also assumes you are using either its own rsync or ssh network protocols.
rsync does not know about Apple file sharing, it does not know about Windows CIFS/SMB, it does not know about FTP, etc...
rsync over ssh is a rather powerful tool, especially if you exchange ssh keys so you do not need to provide a login password.
But if you want to use rsync with an AppleShare volume, then mount the AppleShare volume first and then just use rsync as if everything is local, letting the lower layers of the Mac OS X file system handle the network traffic.
Also you might want to look into the rsync -E option when working with Mac OS X files.
And as has been mentioned, this question is better posted in the *Mac OS X Technologies* -> Unix forum. You are more likely to find Unix knowledgeable discussions there.

Rsync command not found

I am trying to use the following command in the terminal:
+*sudo rsync -a --delete "SOURCE" "DESTINATION"*+
but it's returning the following message:
+*-bash: sudo rsync -a: command not found*+
I have been able to run the command before but now it's not working. Any idea what's going on and how I can fix it? I run this same command on another computer and it works fine as well, this only is happening on my wife's MacBook.
Thanks!

The fact that you got:
-bash: sudo rsync -a: command not found
is a strong indication that 'bash' saw 'sudo rsync -a' as one token and as the command it could not find.
Normally you should see
-bash: command_name: command not found
But in your case, it saw what I would have considered the first 3 tokens as a single command name.
The question is why bash did NOT parse 'sudo' separate from 'rsync' separate from '-a'? But instead treated all 3 as a single token.
Were there any stray quotes (single ' or double ") you forgot to mention? For example:
"sudo rsync -a" --delete "SOURCE" "DESTINATION"
'sudo rsync -a' --delete "SOURCE" "DESTINATION"
sudo rsync -a --delete "SOURCE" "DESTINATION"
Any of these 3 would have generated the error you reported.

Rsync --exclude command .... well, doesn't

I use rsync all the time to keep backups or machines synced.
I like to use the --exclude command to eliminate things that ar enot needed and are slow or take up lots of space. A good example is an address book archive file whcih can take HOURS to sync to my NAS drive - and seems to have a timestamp issue that means it re-writes every darned entry.
Anyway.
I have the weird situation where i may hev 3 or 4 --exclude commands sequentially. The first 3 work, the 4th simply doesn't. I have no idea why. My syntax is, for example:
rsync -avr --delete [source] --exclude 'Microsoft User Data' --exclude Library/Mail --exclude Library/Caches -exclude Documents/Rolodex [destination]
The Documents/olodex folder is NOT excluded.
One update, i just saw something odd in textedit's behaviour, and i think it may be invisibly changing the formatting of the "--X" tag. Maybe in writing this note i finally found it :-)
HNY to all,
Grant
ps: any idea why i have the basic rsync date-stamp problem with address book records int he first place? If they were written once and then incrementally updated I'd be OK with it....

Grant Lenahan wrote:
The regular 10.9 edition.
Now if only i knew why it keeps updating files that have not changed. (only certain ones, like address book entries)
Grant
That's why I asked that question. 10.9 still ships with rsync 2.6.9, but 2.6.9 does not deal correctly with resource forks. Any minor change to file metadata can trick rsync into updating the entire file as though content data had changed. Go the the rsync home page and download version 3.x.x (I installed it in /usr/local/bin so that the system still had access to the version of rsync it expects, just to be on the safe side).
3.x.x handles resource forks correctly, but note that there were some significant changes in syntax. For instance, 2.6.9 used -E to handle (badly) extended attributes, while -X isn't used; in 3.x.x they added the -X flag for extended attributes and retasked -E for preserving executablity. Read the man page carefully when updating scripts.

Deleted /usr/bin files

Hi all
Yesterday accidentaly I deleted most of files from /usr/bin directory (including pacman), and my system crached. I tried to copy the content of this directory from LiveCD, and my system is booting but not started because some of errors. Is there any way to restore my system or I must reinstall? I found the topic from a few years ago about this problem, but as I wrote pacman is missing too.

Care to play with grub2-graphical?

1) Added a section to troubleshooting for failing to parse the block device
2) Fixed a few outdated pieces and typos
October 10, 2009:
1) Added grub2-icons-circlestarts to AUR, a nice set of many different OS icons
* It will be in the binary repos when I get the chance (and if I don't forget!)
July 5, 2009:
1) Troubleshooting section for an error reading /dev/fd0 nag and a small tip on the install section
OVERVIEW:
I've been working on (and succeeded in) getting Colin Bennett's code http://grub.gibibit.com/ to run in Arch. I hadn't seen it elsewhere, even from the major distros (except ubuntu's launchpad https://code.launchpad.net/~colinb/grub/gfxmenu ). I've only seen legacy grub wallpaper mods (grub-gfxboot) and animation patches (grub-gfxmenu, which the ubuntu2 theme and my hack theme mimic btw), not THIS grub2 mod. So, I figured I might as well try to get it working. The good news is, it appears to be slowly merging into the official grub2.
Non-Arch distros: All of this can be done on a non-Arch distro in a similar way. Instead of using the given makepkg commands, you would need to manually handle dependencies listed in my PKGBUILD files (the right Ruby stuff is especially important; it will compile without ruby, but not correctly) and then use the typical "./configure; make; sudo make install" (or your distro's standard packaging method if you want to do that) on the source tarballs listed in the PKGBUILD source=() lines. If you have no idea what any of that jargon means, you should ask on your OS's forums and I'm sure someone will assist you. Non-Arch distros can also grab the theme tarballs from http://hateanthem.dreamhosters.com/arch/build/ and either extract them to /boot/grub/themes/ or package them for your OS if you can (I'm sure others will appreciate it). If you do so, you are welcome to send them to me if you wish and I can put them up on the same server as all of these files. For those of you on Ubuntu, to answer your question: no, Ubuntu's grub2 does not have gfxmenu capabilities yet. Either wait for it to be merged into grub2 or ask someone to package this for you (be sure to mention when you are asking however that grub2-gfxmenu is not the same as just grub, grub2, grub-gfx, grub-gfxboot, or grub-gfxmenu, as there is understandable confusion to the difference). As for troubleshooting, most of the troubleshooting here will also work on other distributions except for pacman commands, which you would need to deal with yourself accordingly (fyi, pacman -U installs a local Arch package; you would sudo make install or dpkg -i somePackage or rpm -i somePackage or whatever in your case).
Below are the author's default themes (awesome!) and the quick Arch "concept theme" I made (crappy, but works; hence "concept"):

INTRO NOTES:
A [Assumptions]: This how-to assumes that you already know/have:
1) Your hard drive device names/numbers (ie /dev/sdXY) for your /boot and / partition(s)

B [Miscellaneous]: Things you should know before starting:
1) There are TWO pkgbuilds/packages needed: grub2-gfxmenu-overlay and grub2-gfxmenu
* The former is mandatory themes, icons, etc. The latter is the grub2 patched with gfxmenu stuff
2) Grub2's numbering/ordering is different than legacy grub's and, sometimes, your system's
* Hard drives still start at 0, but partitions start from 1
* For some, "/dev/sdb" is "hd0" in grub, counter-intuitively
3) Only try this if you have time/patience/experience/knowledge to fix it
* However, this is NOT as hard/long/tedious as it looks; I'm very thorough
* Oh, and for whatever reason, this loads/works PAINFULLY slowly in VirtualBox
* Don't bother outside of practice..
4) VERY IMPORTANT: Old posts here use an outdated menuentry format!
* It can crash grub2
* NEW, CORRECT lines look like: menuentry "Arch Linux" --class "arch" {
* OLD, INCORRECT lines look like: menuentry "Arch|class=linuxmint,linux,os" {
* Grub2-gfxmenu-bzr used this
* Grub2-gfxmenu-bzr package is OLD. I use self-contained src pkgs the author provides now
* Don't use that old stuff any more

Server = http://hateanthem.dreamhosters.com/arch/i686
* For 64 Bit:
[archfox]
Server = http://hateanthem.dreamhosters.com/arch/x86_64
Typical Installation (esp. 32 Bit Arch):
1) See Intro Notes A & B
2) Back up /boot/grub/grub.cfg, /boot/grub/menu.lst, or whatever you use
3) Remove your bootloader via pacman -R [grub, grub2, whatever]
4) Download the grub2-gfxmenu-overlay files:
* http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grub2 … u-overlay/
5) Put them in $HOME/abs/local/grub2-gfxmenu-overlay
6) Make and install the package via makepkg -c -i -s from that directory
7) Repeat steps 4-6 for the grub2-gfxmenu files
* http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grub2 … 2-gfxmenu/
8) As sudo/root, run: /sbin/grub-install /dev/sda
* If you have multiple HD's, change this to the drive you want to boot grub from
9) Edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg to match your partition setup (if necessary)
10) Double check your work before rebooting
* pacman -Qs grub2 should show grub2-gfxmenu-overlay AND grub2-gfxmenu [1-7]
* ls /boot/grub should show a bunch of "mod" files [8]
* be sure /boot/grub/grub.cfg points to the right partitions [9]
:D) Finished!
* The default themes have a pretty low res, and aren't as cool as some of the others
* Make sure you have the proper gfxmode for your theme in grub.cfg if you use non-defaults
* See the latter half of this tutorial for help and custom theme/icon stuff
Installation on 64 Bit Arch:
* FYI, I hear grub2 svn, and thus the next version of gfxmenu, adds native 64 bit support
* For the least hassle, use binaries, then follow Typical Install #8-10:
* The 64 bit binary repository info is above the Typical Install section
* Alternatively, if you still want to COMPILE this with makepkg.. [Steps 1-7]
* You'll need either a 32 bit chroot/environment..
* http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arc … _Arch64.3F
* .. or you can use a regular 32 bit install
* Either way, change DESTARCH in the pkgbuild to x86_64
* Further help: Shaika-dzari's posts in this thread may be useful, but using his "-bzr" files is not advised!
* His syntax and grub2-gfxmenu-bzr are OLD; the former can crash new Grub2! (See Intro Notes B #4)
* If you're determined to use his -bzr, use the old syntax! If you use the new pkgs, don't use his syntax!
Notes for a Split Boot, LVM, maybe RAID:
* All of these users will likely need a similar grub.cfg
* Example Split Boot cfgs in Troubleshooting and later in this thread
* You will likely run into multiple problems listed under Troubleshooting; relax and expect it
* You might spare yourself problems by following Troubleshooting #6 before rebooting
* ... or cause problems you might not have had! Probably prevent 'em, though :)
* Split Booters: if that doesn't help, try looking at boriscougar's posts here
* His syntax is outdated and will crash Grub2, however! (See Intro Notes B #4)
* LVM/RAIDers:
* You need the kernel root= parts pointing to /dev/mapper/blahblah
* See lssjbrolli's posts here, esp. #19, for other grub.cfgs IF you have trouble
* His syntax is outdated and will crash Grub2, however! (See Intro Notes B #4)
Notes for Others:
* If you are lost/confused, please post here
* If you have another "special case", I'm afraid I probably can't help you
* You are welcome to try anyway and report your results; it might help someone else
TROUBLESHOOTING:
* Check ALL of the instructions and the Intro Notes A & B again
* Press 't' in graphical mode to switch to text mode, it's more forgiving with errors
* Press 'e' in text mode to edit an entry. Useful key combinations are shown there
* See post #78 or #63 for starting over from the Live CD; modify it to restore legacy grub
* Be sure your device node/name is correct, as per the Intro Notes
* Here is an example Split Boot grub.cfg menuentry with descriptions:
# Entry 0 - Arch Linux
menuentry "Arch Linux" --class "arch" {
# Below should be /boot, where the kernel/initrd/bootloader is. Here, it's HD 1, Partition 5
set root=(hd0,5)
# Below is /, where most of your installation is. HD 1, partition 6
# Note the backwards drive lettering/order on my pc!
# Grub calls my drive "hd0" while Arch labels the drive "/dev/sdb"
# Yours MAY or MAY NOT do that
# Also note, BECAUSE this is for a Split Boot, there is no /boot prefix
# Lastly, some distros seem to fail with /dev/disk/by-label entries, others work fine
linux /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sdb6 ro
initrd /kernel26.img
1) During grub-install, you get a nag about not being able to read /boot/grub/core.img
* I think this is fixed in a grub2 svn release, so hopefully the next grub2-gfxmenu will remove this section..
* Two methods.. both are hackish, but either 'works'.. I prefer Method 2, but it's more work + empty space..
* METHOD #1:
* This installs grub to your root partition instead of /boot (method obviously assumes a Split Boot):
* It will obviously not properly coincide with pacman installs/updates of grub2-gfxmenu stuff normally
* You can unmount /boot to upgrade/install grub2-gfxmenu stuff for now with pacman
* Re-mount /boot when you're done installing/upgrading said grub2-gfxmenu stuff
* If grub2-gfxmenu is updated, try installing again normally WITH /boot mounted first
* Your old grub folder is still on your /boot partition; I think it may be moved to avoid confusion
* If you move/remove the grub partition on ROOT (until properly installed of course), grub will break
1) mkdir /mnt/tmp
2) umount /dev/sda1 (assuming your /boot is sda1 of course from here)
3) mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/tmp
4) cp -r /mnt/tmp/grub /boot
5) Check ls /boot/grub shows the expected mod files and such, then try /sbin/grub-install /dev/sda again
6) Edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg before you reboot; follow the tutorial otherwise
7) Be sure to re-mount /boot if you're not going to reboot after this tutorial / installing gfxmenu stuff
* METHOD #2:
* This installs grub2-gfxmenu "correctly", but puts a little empty space in front of your /boot partition
1) Boot into a LiveCD and resize your /boot partition; graphically (gparted) or CLI if you know how
* I decreased its size by 10 megs, which is likely MAJOR overkill, but it worked, and I can spare 10mb
2) Move the resized partition to the right, so the space you freed up is in front of it
3) Boot into the Arch LiveCD if you aren't there already, and go root
4) mkdir /mnt/root
5) mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/root (assuming sda3 is your root partition)
6) mount -t proc proc /mnt/root/proc
7) mount -t sysfs sys /mnt/root/sys
8) mount -o bind /dev /mnt/root/dev
9) chroot /mnt/root /bin/bash
10) mount /dev/sda1 /boot (assuming sda1 is /boot.. you can mount /home now too, if needed)
11) pacman -U /path/to/grub2-gfxmenu*pkg.tar.gz (only if its the only grub2-gfxmenu pkg there)
12) pacman -U /path/to/kernel26*pkg.tar.gz (only if its the only kernel pkg there)
13) Edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg before you reboot; follow the tutorial otherwise
2) During grub-install, you get a nag about /dev/fd0 or something of the sort
* Your device map is wrong; edit /boot/grub/device.map accordingly and remove/edit such incorrect entries
* You may also need to run grub-mkdevicemap BEFORE doing this, but probably not
* Fd0 is the floppy disk, remove it if you don't actually have such a drive
* Alternatively, try adding --recheck to the grub-install /dev/yourDevice command
3) The text menu won't load, and you're dropped to a limited prompt
* Check that you are using the new/correct grub2-gfxmenu menuentry format (See Intro Notes B #4)
* You may have run the command incorrectly (or not at all) in Step 8, or your /boot changed numbers/letters
* You would probably need to start over from a livecd, if so
4) The graphical menu won't load, but the text one does
* Check that stuff exists in /boot/grub/themes
* Check that your set theme= line is properly suited to your system in grub.cfg:
* Most people need: set theme="/boot/grub/themes/themeName"
* A Split Boot / LVM / RAID / etc needs: set theme="/grub/themes/themeName/theme.txt"
* Split Boots / LVM/ RAID/ etc should check that set root= exists near the top and points to /boot
5) The graphical menu loads, but you have boxes/squares where fonts should be
* Add this (set to match YOUR /boot) somewhere near the TOP of your grub.cfg:
* set root=(hd0,5)
* Your loadfont lines ALL probably need to look like this (no /boot prefix):
* loadfont /grub/fonts/10x20.pf2
* This command with sudo/root permissions should be able to do it for you (make a backup!):
* cd /boot/grub/ && sed -i 's|/boot||g' grub.cfg
* This -could- affect (good or bad) other things. Fix if needed, before or after rebooting
6) The graphical menu loads, but when you select the os, it sits at "Press any key to continue"
* Check that grub.cfg's "set root=" line you have for that menuentry points to /boot
* Grub numbering has changed in grub2 (See Intro Notes B #2)
* Try [inc/dec]rementing the [drive/partition] by 1 number/letter
* Remove /boot from the front of stuff if you are running a Split Boot / LVM / RAID / etc
7) The graphical menu loads, but you get a nag about a failure to parse the block device
* Check all of the other troubleshooting first to see if it applies / works first
* Check that your kernel/initrd lines point to the correct places (remember partitions start from 1 now!)
* Check /etc/mkinitcpio.conf for hooks you no longer use (like fbsplash perhaps)
* Packages used by your hooks must be installed, like fbsplash for the fbsplash hook
8) The graphical menu loads, but you get a nag about finding root / init not found, or a similar error
* Check that grub.cfg is pointing to the right place in that menuentry's "linux" and "initrd" lines
* Grub numbering has changed in grub2 (See Intro Notes B #2)
* Try [inc/dec]rementing the [drive/partition] by 1 number/letter
* Remove /boot from the front if you are running a Split Boot / LVM / RAID / etc
* Try running the fallback/failsafe entry
* If it works, you need to mkinitcpio -p kernel26 from there
9) The graphical menu loads, but flickers horribly
* Try changing the resolution, perhaps to a default/1024x768
10) You're on an eeePC or use an intel 800/900 graphics chipset and can't use your native resolution
* NOTE: I've had reports that this no longer works or compiles or something recently, so YMMV
* Workaround until someone tries patching and reporting via grub2-915resolution's patch(es):
1) Compile (NOT install!) grub2-915resolution from AUR via makepkg (or yaourt and cancelling)
* Or grab 915resolution.mod from someone/somewhere else, perhaps
2) Install grub2-gfxmenu
3) Copy 915resolution.mod from step 1's MAIN source directory to /boot/grub/
* If you used yaourt and cancelled before installing, try /tmp/yaourt-tmp-yourname
4) Insert/change the following in grub.cfg [order matters I guess?]:
* insmod 915resolution
* 915resolution 34 1024 600 (or whatever else you want)
* set gfxmode 1024x600 (or whatever else you want)
5) Edit your theme's theme.txt file to look nice on the new res, if it's not already made for it
TWEAKING:
1) Changing the resolution
* Edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg, it's one of the first lines (set gfxmode=)
* I'm not sure what it supports, but I got up to 1280x1024 without problems
* You may need to change your theme's configuration file for it to look decent under a new res
2) Changing the theme
* Edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg, it's one of the earlier lines (set theme=)
* Themes are in /boot/grub/themes
3) Changing the icons (Thanks to kholddagger post #97)
* /boot/grub/themes/icons , seemingly PNG only, scaled according to theme/resolution in use
* Add your OS icon by changing the --class option in your menuentry to MATCH the .png
* Ie, for /boot/grub/themes/icons/fedora.png:
* menuentry "Fedora Linux" --class "fedora" {
* Don't like a default icon, but don't want them overwritten by updates?
* Make it "distro2". Ie distro2.png and --class "distro2"
* I am partial to http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ … tent=95970 "Circle Starts"
4) Adding new distros
* See Tweaking #3 for changing/adding icons
* Clone Arch's menuentry and tweak it to match your other OS
* Search your other OS's /boot folder/partition for kernel and init filenames
5) Advanced theme tweaking
* See the author's website and documentation:
* http://grub.gibibit.com/Theme_format
* http://grub.gibibit.com/gfxmenu_design
6) Advanced font tweaking
* See the author's website and documentation:
* http://grub.gibibit.com/New_font_format
* The newest version "supports UTF-8 fonts", but I'm not sure what that even means :D
KNOWN AVAILABLE THEMES:
* All custom themes so far are set up for 1024x768 and the defaults for 640x480
* Most of them are made by Xabz, and packaged by me
* If you have alternate resolution layouts for any of them, PLEASE share!
* If you make any new ones, PLEASE share! :)
1) The first two screenshots are defaults
2) The third blue screenshot is my theme, aftermathblue (previously archfox), a tweak of the defaults
* It has since been updated to 0.2 and looks a little different; certainly much less hackish
* The name refers to the wallpaper "Aftermath" from the arch linux wallpapers package, turned blue.
* The screenshot's icons are tweaked Google Images results for "windows icon" and "arch linux icon"
* If you have suggestions, post 'em
3) There are several really nice ones made by a guy in Chile named "xabz":
* See above "Typical Install" for binary repositories containing these theme packages
* You can also find them in the AUR; they are prefixed with "grub2-theme-"
* You can see screenshots of them on page 4 of this thread, post #94
4) There is another awesome one here by some presumably German person:
* http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/grub2 … st-1835914
* I can't seem to find a download link for it, only a picture :(

Share CUPS-PDF trough SAMBA

Hello
I am having trouble making a working installation of CUPS-PDF to be shared through SAMBA. Windows XP can't find the shared printers, the archbox can find it's own printer shares but can not use cups-pdf through SAMBA because of "Idle - Tree connect failed (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED)".

Any suggestions?

Hi Everyone!
This pdf printer has been GREAT!
But I did have to make one little tweak before it was good for me.
The default PDF version of 1.4 produced an output file in which text would collide and overlap. Patching the build for PDF version 1.2 fixed it for me.
Here's the amended PKGBUILD:
pkgname=cups-pdf
pkgver=1.7.0
pkgrel=3
pkgdesc="CUPS PDF Backend"
depends=('cups')
url="http://cip.physik.uni-wuerzburg.de/~vrbehr/cups-pdf/"
source=(http://cip.physik.uni-wuerzburg.de/~vrbehr/cups-pdf/cups-pdf_$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('875ed70ec1acdab9d935bca45ee521f8')
build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
cat src/cups-pdf.h | sed "s|CPPDFVER "1.4"|CPPDFVER "1.2"|" > tmpFile
mv tmpFile src/cups-pdf.h
gcc -O9 -s -o cups-pdf -Isrc src/cups-pdf.c
install -D -m 755 cups-pdf $startdir/pkg/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf
install -D -m 644 extra/PostscriptColor.ppd.gz $startdir/pkg/usr/share/cups/model/Postscript.Color.ppd.gz
p.s. I know posting PKGBUILD source to the forum is somewhat of a no no
(sorry sarah31, and thank you for everything!)
It just seemed like a good idea to correct this for the archive searchers.

Newsletter 6-13-04

THERE'S A VERY GOOD REASON WHY IT'S LATE....
Arch Linux Weekly Newsletter
*Jason Chu and Ben Mazer*
Opening
Welcome to the Arch Linux Newsletter. This attempts to give you an ``at
a glance'' look at the world of Arch Linux.
News
This Week in Dev Land
1. Dale has received a script to let firebird and thunderbird play
nice. He's looking at adding them now.
2. Arjan is busy right now. Everyone else is trying to pick up his
slack.
3. Functional specifications are nearly complete for the new AUR system.

Discussions
Forum Highlights
1. Benedict_White has been working on porting Webmin to Arch. Check
on his progress in this thread:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=5042.
2. DP has solved the GL.la problem that has plagued many users. He
has provided a simple file to install on your system to replace
the missing library. Read the thread here:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=5124.
Mailing List Highlights
1. The debate was raised again about packaging quality. Jlowell
criticized the developers, stating that there have been too many
broken packages. More of the same points were raised, including
having the developers focus more on developing the base, and less
on the packaging. Read the whole thread here:
http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch … 01625.html.
2. I semi-seriously asked about the possibility of bittorrent
integration with pacman. It would save the developers bandwidth
and give the users a way to contribute. There would be many
technical issues with a bittorrent system. Read the thread here:
http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch … 01670.html.
3. tsykoduk asked about adding changelogs to the packages or
PKGBUILDs. It was decided that the CVS changelogs were sufficient.
Read the thread here:
http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch … 01647.html.
Packages
Package Highlights
1. KDE 3.2.3 was packaged this week. This should fix most of the
problems people have been having with KDE. Read the announcement
here: http://kde.org/announcements/announce-3.2.3.php.

Problems
FAQ
Q: I'm trying to compile something (in C++), but I'm getting random errors.
A: Arch is using GCC 3.4.0. GCC 3.4 is much stricter when it comes to
C++ code. It will break on many more errors than GCC 3.3. You should
email the developers of the broken application, or check their
CVS/mailing list to see if they have provided patches.

Closing
We're thinking about changing the format of the newsletter. Now that
Arch has an official HTML/CSS standard for documentation, it seems
appropriate to move the newsletter to that standard. We can convert the
newsletter to plain TXT for email, though it may lose some formatting.
How do you read the newsletter? If many people read it over email, we
will continue to provide email ``delivery'' along with HTML, but if most
people read it over the web, we will cut the email delivery. Please give
us your feedback. What is the most convenient format for the newsletter?
That's it for this week, stay tuned for more exciting Arch Linux news.
