Run Yaourt as user inside 32bit chroot?

I have a 64bit system and have a 32chroot setup as per the wiki instructions. Everything works brilliantly except that Yaourt runs as root and I want to build firefox-spookyet. Does anybody know how I would go about doing this?
Come to think of it, Is it safe to run Firefox from a chroot? Htop says firefox is runing as biatchi but also that root executed
/bin/su -p biatchi -c firefox
Is that safe?

I use the dchroot command to run things from chroot, so yaourt, for example, can be run like this:
dchroot -d 'yaourt -Syu --aur'
I actually have this aliased to something more convenient.
The problem is, I just noticed that the dchroot package was removed from the repos and schroot (the package that's supposed to be its replacement) doesn't seem to be in any of the repos, so I'm not sure what's going on there...
EDIT: uhm, I don't think I've read your post carefully enough. You should be able to do "su [username]" when within chroot, which would then allow you to use makepkg as regular user. I'm not sure is you need to have your /home --bind mounted withing the chroot for this to work or not.
I actually log into chroot as regular user, I have this alias in my .bashrc:
alias arch32="sudo chroot /opt/arch32/ /bin/su - filip"
You'd need to replace "filip" with your username, of course.

Make default browser seen by 32bit chroot app?

Hi,
I'm running Lotus Notes in a 32bit chroot and want it to open links in the system browser. I have the option set to do so, but it's not working. I'm thinking that the 32bit chroot either a) isn't seeing whatever file sets the system defaults or b) it does and I need a link from /usr/bin/google-chrome to /opt/arch32/usr/bin/chrome... or perhaps both a & b are correct?
Anyone have experience with this or a suggestion? Is this possible or would a 32bit chrooted program not be able to start a program in 64bit land?
Thanks,
John

@xvello:
Must not have gotten the auto-notice... sorry for the late response.
I do run Notes from a 32bit chroot on a 64bit system. Or when you say to run it *out* of the chroot do you mean with multilib? I definitely do not want to do multilib -- I like the separate nature of /opt/arch32 so that I can ditch all this if I ever need/want to.
Regarding the chroot not seeing anything outside, I know that a lot of files are linked when setting up the chroot, so they should be seeing "outside" of the chroot environment. Would it work to just link /usr/bin/browser to /opt/arch32/usr/bin/browser?
Also, I'm not sure where the defaults are set for a system. So in Notes, for example, my preference option says that Notes should use the "Browser set as default by the system" but I don't know where it would check inside it's 32bit chroot for that. Or what I need to link from the 64bit main system to work in the 32bit chroot to tell it what the default browser is...
Does that help at all?

Re-write 32bit chroot daemon in systemd service format?

I followed the Arch wiki instructions quite successfully and have been using the daemon script to use a 32bit chroot. I just switched over fully to systemd (at least I think so) and no longer have the ability to start it since rc.conf no longer exists in the 64bit system (and gets copied in the 32bit chroot daemon script).
Systemd is quite foreign and I find it a bit overwhelming at the moment, not having had time to digest it yet -- I was sort of forced in due to a recent upgrade.
In any case, are there suggestions of how to re-write this in systemd language and enable as a service?
#!/bin/bash
. /etc/rc.conf
. /etc/rc.d/functions
# Add '/var/run /var/lib/dbus' to the list to enable pulseaudio.
dirs=(/dev /dev/pts /dev/shm /tmp /home)
case $1 in
start)
stat_busy "Starting Arch32 chroot"
for d in "${dirs[@]}"; do
mount -o bind $d /opt/arch32$d
done
mount -t proc none /opt/arch32/proc
mount -t sysfs none /opt/arch32/sys
add_daemon arch32
stat_done
stop)
stat_busy "Stopping Arch32 chroot"
for (( i = ${#dirs[@]} - 1; i >= 0; i-- )); do
umount "/opt/arch32${dirs[i]}"
done
umount /opt/arch32/{proc,sys}
rm_daemon arch32
stat_done
restart)
$0 stop
sleep 1
$0 start
echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
esac
exit 0
It looks like most of it is just bash code, but things like stat_busy and rm_daemon are no longer commands on my system (perhaps provided by initscripts or sysvinit?).
I can add this to the wiki page for other services once I have it figured out, as I'm guessing some others use it and will stumble into the same issue. I don't know what stat_done and others do; like I said, most of it would just be storing this somewhere and having systemd call it on boot, but I don't want to break something by missing an important step because I don't know any better (properly unmounting a drive on service shutdown, for instance).
Thanks for any suggestions/assistance.

Do you think that would affect my Lotus Notes issue? After following the script commands manually, here is the relevant info:

It looks like I hit the necessary files?
The one that stands out is /dev/mapper/root on /opt/arch32/home, but that's what results with:
$ sudo mount -o bind /home /opt/arch32/home
I'm a bit puzzled about that one... Doing `ls /opt/arch32/home` after mounting, however, does show my user folder in there, and `ls -l` shows they're my permissions (jwhendy:users).
I do appreciate the help!
The mount bind for home is actually the way it is supposed to be. This is the intended behaviour. It gives you verbatim access to whatever it is bound to.
Are you actually in the chroot when you start Lotus Notes? Even though the host architecture shouldn't matter, running 32-bit applications in the chroot should behave correctly. In the past 32-bit chroot's there was another bash binary called arch32 that did your chroot /opt/arch32, but you can still do that manually.

Wine in 32bit chroot, mesa-git build for 3D accelaration[SOLVED]

So after 'eradicating' all my lib32 and bin32 packages on my 64bit system, I went about and setup a 32bit chroot.
I followed the following guide:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arc … bit_system
I then installed wine, setup alias and basically got the thing working. The next step is of coure 3D acceleration.
Installing wine pulled in libgl and mesa, among others, which I now need to replace with updated versions, matching those that I run with my 64bit world. ToDo this, I basically need to setup a working build-env in the chroot, plus makepkg and so on.
Is there any other way todo this, without having to install basically pacman + base-devel into the chroot??
Also, for building mesa, do I really need a complete xorg installation inside the chroot???
EDIT:
I just went ahead and installed what I needed, and after building dri2proto-git glproto-git libdrm-git and mesa-git for i688, and installing them, I now have working 3D using wine from my chroot!

How did you build mesa? I tried it in a chroot and I get this error:

Problem to run the Crystal report inside from SAP B1 based on SQL views.

Hello,
I have a problem to run my Crystal report inside from SAP B1 which is based on SQL views.And the SQL views are stored in a separate database in SQL server.The error which i am getting is saying the the tablename does not exist.What i need to do in order to sort this problem.
Great if somebody can help me to sort out this so that i can run my report based on SQL views stored on separate database other than SAP databases inside from SAP B1.
Edited by: rozenagrawal on Apr 19, 2011 11:51 AM

Try using a SQL synonym in your company database for the views outside the company database. I don't know if SBO will let you get away with it, but its worth a shot.
If your company database is MyCompany and you have a view called MyView in Views database, assuming the view belongs to schema dbo, and you want the synonym to belong to dbo schema in your company database, run this:
Use MyCompany
go
create synonym dbo.OutsiderView for
Views.dbo.MyView
go
select * from OutsiderView
The select statement should return the contents of MyView in the Views database while you are connected to your MyCompany database.
For more info, see the Books Online for MSSQL on topic synonym.
You will need to change your CR options to include displaying synonyms along with tables, views, etc. You may also need to grant select to B1 users.

Aborting...

Here what I'm doing now that seems to be working, but it is rather complicated:
*I have 32-bit chroots on two x86_64 machines (paths mounted, just not chrooted into them).
*The distccd daemon is running on both x86_64 machines from the normal x86_64 root, and I need to stop it to make this work.
*I stop distccd on both machines (from normal x86_64 root)
*I start distccd inside the 32-bit chroot on both machines:
$ sudo chroot /bin/bash /opt/arch32
(once inside I start the daemon then exit the chroot)
Finally, outside of the chroots, I am able to use the schroot command to start the 32-bit builds and it works with distccd!
$ schroot -p -- makepkg -src
Is there an easier way, one that wouldn't involve the daemon stopping on the main environment (x86_64) and starting it up inside the chroots (i686) of both machines?
When I try it without those steps that I have outlined above, it does not work.
*I have 32-bit chroots on two x86_64 machines (paths mounted, just not chrooted into them).
*The distccd daemon is running on both x86_64 machines from the normal x86_64 root.
Note that if I run the makepkg wrapper script at this point, I will successfully compile in the x86_64 using distcc.
*Outside of the chroots, I run the build script from the schroot command:
$ schroot -p -- makepkg -src
It build fails in many errors when the script hits a make step. In this case it is "make prepare" as I attempt to build a kernel. All 252 lines of the resulting errors are on pastebin to keep this post as crisp as I can

How do you make a program run when any user logs in?

I have an application which will need to run when any users logs in.
Such that Joe downloads and installs the application, logs out, then Sally logs in and the application runs for Sally.
Does anyone know how to do this?

Hey Steve, thanks for that link. It seems to be what
I am looking for. What is the meaning of the
~/Library vs /Library ? They are definitely
different folders.
Yes, they are definitely different folders. The "~" character represents the current users home folder, so "~/Library" represents the Library folder that's located inside a users home folder. Anything placed in there will only affect the one user whose home folder you've accessed.
The "/Library" folder is the Library folder that exists at to root of the boot volume. Things placed in this Library folder will affect all users of the system. Basically it's sort of a "global" Library.
Also, from a script, how do I add an item to execute
for that kind of PList?
That could be tricky based on the structure of that particular plist file. I haven't really looked at it closely but one place you could start is to read the "man" page for the "defaults" command... enter "man defaults" in Terminal. The "defaults" command allows you to read/write plist files, but defaults is not very good at accessing deeply nested plist items.
Related to that, how do I tell if the logging item
for my App is already there? I do not want to keep
adding to the list if it is there. If someone
deletes my app and then reinstalls it, I do not want
it to run twice, three times, etc..
Again, you could possibly read the plist using the defaults command and determine whether your item was already present or not.
Do you know of the one in the ~/Library path, what
user it execute as? Since it is all users, it
probably is root or something like that.
No, the one in ~/Library is in each individual user home folder. It will execute with the current user's privileges. This is where Login Items normally go when you go through the GUI... "Sys.Prefs -> Accounts -> Login Items" and add a login item for one user.
Even items placed in /Library, which should execute for all users, will execute with the current user's privileges.
In the near
future we might need root privileges, so I might need
a program to startup for all users as root instead of
the user.
Is your app, that needs to run at login time, a GUI application or is it a faceless shell script (or something similar). Your original post gave me the impression that you needed to launch a GUI application. However, if it's a shell script then you probably want to look at doing a LoginHook instead of using the Login Items procedure at the web page I posted earlier. I believe a LoginHook will also give you the ability to run the script as root.

Running @Script.sql from inside C#

I'm trying to include a script file as part of a deployment. I'm able to connect to my Oracle XE database in code and run stored procedures as well as text commands. My deployment will copy a script file into an install directory for later use. When the user activates history recording, I want to run this script file.
I can run the script manually...@"C:\Program Files\History Setup\TestScript.sql"...without issue. Works just fine.
Currently I recieve an invalid sql command error. At the moment I'm trying:
Command.Connection = myconnection;
Command.CommandText = @"@""C:\Program Files\History Setup\TestScript.sql""";
Command.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
try
Connection.Open();
Command.ExecuteNonQuerry;
catch (Exception ex)
error handling
If anyone has advice for running script files from inside C#, it would be appreciated.

The other Dennis is correct. You must cleanup the text.
This should give you a start. I have had good results using the forward slash as a delimiter.

Hello Daniela,
you try to perform an offline backup (which is a very uncommon way nowadays) and your SAP system is not down.
This is also described in the official documentation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm32/helpdata/en/0d/d309664a0c11d182b80000e829fbfe/content.htm
offline: Database backup in offline mode, in other words, the database is shut down during backup. When you select this parameter, BRBACKUP checks that no SAP system users are connected to the database. If an SAP System is active, the database is not shut down and BRBACKUP terminates the process with an error message (message number BR0068E).
Regards
Stefan

Can a mac mini be set up to run two separate users at the same time?

I work for a middle school and we need to purchase 20 computers that will just be used to run internet apps. Though we have all Macs, we don't have a big budget and for this one use only, we are condsidering purchasing inexpensive HP all-in-ones for about $450 each. However, I was wondering if a Mac Mini can be first set up with 2 partitions, install the OS on both partitions, then run two different users, with two separate monitors and keyboards, at the same time? This way, instead of purchasing 20 Windows computers, we could purchase 10 Mac Mini's (and displays) and save money, and still be supporting just one OS throughout the campus.

If you setup a server, as in the Mac OS X Server Installation, pages 23ff show configurations, you can have multiple users, but they must all have computers. Some installations can be done with dumb terminals but that is not what you seem to want. Unix machines do have a multiple simultaneous user capability but you still have to have a computer for each user, again, not what you seem to want to do. Right now there are two other users logged in on my Sun workstation on the desk behind me...they are logged in because I permit them to do so.
And last night for an experiment I connected my iMac and MBP by ethernet wire, logged in on the iMac, then logged in on the MBP and from there on the iMac...but I set up the network to permit that and then disabled it again. You can create security holes doing things like this.
As dwb points out switching from Apple to PC equipment is a false economy that lures in administrators. In our county school system we had a superintendent who hired a good friend...who had PC-industry ties. Decided to remove all Apple equipment from the elementary schools and switch to PCs. It wasn't long before they ended up going on a 4-year cycle of "refreshing" the equipment, i.e., completely replacing all hardware in every school on a four year cycle. Since my wife was a Media Specialist, aka librarian, and responsible for technology in her school, every four years she had to develop a complete school map of where each teacher wanted the computers in their classrooms, complicated by where the technicians predetermined the locations of the network wire drops, of course. then teachers get shuffled over the summer and all the plans are for naught.
Anyway, there really isn't a solution to your problem except to buy a large number of computers and let each student use one and have them networked to a server, print server, printers, etc. This is not inexpensive and cutting corners will only cause headaches for you.

Firefox Flash plugin crashes when FF launched with "Run as different user"

I often start Firefox in Windows 7 (x64) using the "Run as different user" mechanism. After upgrading my Flash plugin to v11 (11.8.800.94), the browser will hang for several minutes when visiting any page that contains Flash content. When Firefox becomes responsive again, scrolling a page with Flash content will cause the app to hang again. Disabling the Flash plugin eliminates the problem.
It seems the plugin is silently crashing -- I'm not alerted to a plugin crash in any way (no dialog or yellow "Flash player crashed" notice at the top of the window), but after FF hangs I will see a new crash report entry in the FF about:crashes list. An example crash report is available at https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/ff452291-b5b2-44e4-a172-416792130818
The plugin does not crash when Firefox is running under the same account that is logged onto Windows interactively -- only when running FF as a different user. For example, if I log onto Windows with user account Adam and launch FF normally, the problem does not exist. If I close FF and launch it as user Bob (shift+right-click Firefox Shortcut, choose "Run as different user"), the problem will appear. However, if I log into Windows as user Bob and launch FF normally, the problem does not exist.
I have tried the following as troubleshooting steps, all to no effect:
Create new Windows user accounts to rule out potential Windows or Firefox profile issues.
Use another PC (also Windows 7 x64). The same behavior occurs on both PCs
Disable AVG antivirus.
Upgrade Firefox to latest version (23.0.1).
Disable Flash hardware acceleration.
Give both user accounts full local admin privileges.
Can anyone suggest something to try next?
Update: Per the troubleshooting instructions at < http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 >, I was able to eliminate the problem by adding the line
ProtectedMode=0
to my C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg file to disable Flash Player Protected Mode. There are instructions on that page for submitting a Protected Mode-related bug, and I will follow through with that.

Maybe you did't understand my previous statement. There are no crashes in FF 3.6, There is no previous evidence FF 14 was ever here, I completely uninstalled all trace of Firefox, no app data, no preferences, no cache. I will upgrade to FF14 so I can send IDs,
so here ya go.

Is it possible to run the Classic Environment INSIDE Rosetta on a MacBook Pro (Early 2008) with Leopard?

Hi there,
Rosetta works up until Snow Leopard. The Classic Environment works up until a late version of Tiger. Rosetta makes apps. built for PowerPC Macs work. The Classic Environment make apps. for Mac OS 9 work on Mac OS X for PowerPC Macs.
Would it consequently be possible to run the Classic Environment INSIDE Rosetta?
I have read https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2292, but I am still unconvinced unless there is a flaw to my logic. At any rate, I subscribe to the Churchillian adage of never giving in unless the forces of common sense and doctrine dictate otherwise.
If it won't work, then why?
Best Regards,
Stefan

Hi there, Klaus1, BDAqua and a brody,
Thank you ever so much for your kind replies! (I tried giving you the 10 pts. of 'Correct Answers' to each of you, but unfortunately it was only possible for Klaus1, so the points were distributed between him and BDAqua even though you were all helpful!)
My next question will naturally be: Is SheepShaver legal? My Google search didn't yield any conslusive proof that it was, nor any that it wasn't, but as the E-Maculation web page seemed quite official and above board I would assume that it is.
The next logical step would be to ask whether it's safe for both HW and SW to run SheepShaver. HW, it appears, is very rarely, if ever, affected by SW settings, so I would assume that hardwarewise, I'm good to go. Could it ruin the kernel of Mac OS X's Unix-based operating system?
Kind Regards,
Stefan

Is it possible to check to see if a sequence has been called, or is run by a user?

I'd like a subsequence to be called, but I'd like the Sequence to run differently if it is called versus run by a user.
What statement should I use and is this even possible?
Thanks.

How would the user run the sequence by itself? Are talking about interactive mode?
If Runstate.Caller returns NULL, or Nothing in TestStand. Then you have an interactive execution, i.e. the sequence was not called by anything.
Thanks,

I have installed jdk from AUR. I have my 32bit chroot environment set up exactly at described on the wiki.
This error only happens when I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/java/jre/lib/i386 before launching Firefox. But without this, the libraries aren't found. For example, in the Java console I see errors like:
libjawt.so. No such file or directory
I've spent ages searching but I can't find a solution.

Download the tar.gz installer and untar it to a location like /opt.
Once you untar the archive, add the bin directory to your PATH variable and your should be all set to use it from the terminal.
OR use sudo update-alternatives to set the java command to pick up your installed version.

Run Yaourt as user inside 32bit chroot?
