ok, the other thread helped. I just created a .bash_profile file in /root/ containing:
. $HOME/.bashrc
I set LC_MESSAGES by
export LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8
as I prefere to have english output form programms, thats much better if something goes wrong.. the rest of the system is set german in /etc/rc.conf
thanks a lot!

[SOLVED] Disable console framebuffer

Edit: I discovered that I was dealing with KMS rather than framebuffering, please disregard.

Ok after getting vague help at best from irc.mozilla.org I went grepping. I grepped xulrunner-1.9.0.11/chrome and firefox-3.0/chrome for all occurences of 'console.xul' and when I found one, I went into the corresponding file and commented it out. Problem solved! (In a horrible way)
This means I can't access it even if I wanted to. But that's ok because many console extensions make the built in console obsolete. I suppose the way to do this without wasting space would be to find out how to compile xulrunner and firefox so that they come with no console. But I imagine that would be difficult.

[SOLVED] .bashrc isn't processed.

Hi folks.
I don't know why but my bashrc stopped beeing processed at terminal starting. I discovered this because when I ran alias I had none of those written on my .bashrc
I've been fussing on profiles and stuff but didn't managed to get it working myself.
Any ideias?
Thanks

If your ~/.bash_profile does nothing but source ~/.bashrc, you could do as phrakture mentions in this post and simply symlink ~/.bash_profile to ~/.bashrc.

[Solved] Uvesafb & Nvidia framebuffer problems after June 2012 update.

The subject pretty much says it all, I'm really not sure what in the world happened. It worked GREAT since I installed it, but after I updated the system a few days ago, my monitor shows it being out of an acceptable resolution range.
It's strange, because before I was able to see my native resolution (which is 1680x1050) when using:
$ cat /sys/bus/platform/drivers/uvesafb/uvesafb.0/vbe_modes
but now it's at 1600x1200, which obviously doesn't work. I tried looking up any problems that people may or may not have had in the past two months with uvesafb on google, but I couldn't find a thing.
Any potential input, suggestions, or thoughts would be incredibly helpful. Thanks!

Yes, if it is due to the reason i mentioned, then there is no workaround for that unfortunately.

[SOLVED] Time tracking app outside Gnome

I used to use hamster-applet in Gnome, which I loved for time tracking. Over the weekend I've converted myself to DWM, so using hamster is out. I've looked around and haven't found any real options other than a webapp called SlimTimer which I used back when I was on another OS which I won't mention by name. However, if available, I'd prefer something that can be used offline as well.
What are the tiling WM users doing for time tracking?
Last edited by falconindy (2009-11-29 18:06:17)

There are a few in the AUR. Just search on the http://aur.archlinux.org/ page for "time track" or the like.
If you do use yaourt, try a search like
yaourt -Ss track | grep time
Personally I used gnotime for several years. It still works but development has apparently ceased.

How to create an unsolved cube with awm???

hi all,
I readed the "Oracle Olap developer's guide to the Oalp api" and I found there's 2 type of Cube: Solved and Unsolved Cubes. And this document says: "... if all the data for a cube is specified by the DBA, then the cube is considered to be Solved. If some or all of the aggregate data must be calculated by Oracle OLap, then the cube is unsolved ..."
I tried with awm 10.2.0.3.0A to create an unsolvedCube but I can't. All cubes I created are solvedCube. To know if a cube is solved or unsolved, I wrotte an program in Java to read informations of package mtm.
Some one can tell me how to create an unsolved cube with AWM ou other soft please!

SH is not a relational OLAP data model which is quite different from the GLOBAL schema which is based on an Analytic Workspace.
If you change the aggregation method you will need to re-compute the whole cube which can be a very big job! You might be able to force the unsolved status be de-selecting all the levels on the Rules tab in AWM. However, I think by default analytic workspace OLAP models always provide a fully solved cube to the outside world. This is the nature of the multi-dimensional model.
Relationally, as keys are located in separate columns a cube can be unsolved in that the key column only contains values for a single level from the corresponding dimension tables. If more than keys for different levels within the same dimension appear within the fact key column then the cube is deemed as being solved.
Therefore, I am not sure you are going to get the information you require from the API. To changes the aggregation method you will have to switch off all pre-compute options and also disable the session cache to prevent previously calculated data being returned when you change the aggregation method.
Hope this helps

I have a ibook that powers up but has no display, is it an easy fix? how much will it cost?

I have a ibook that powers up but has no display, is it an easy fix? how much would it cost to fix

Hi,
Can the sounds of an active hard drive be heard at some point (indicating a normal startup)?
There is a problem with the graphics processing unit (GPU) and its ball grid array (BGA) on some iBook computers, leading to similar symptoms. Reflowing (resoldering) the BGA is a work for specialists, and is going to be expensive. A web search will return a number of more or less realistic alternative attempts to solve the issue. Outside pressure applied to the affected area has sometimes been used for troubleshooting, or even as a temporary "solution".
It is of course possible that the iBook in question has a completely different fault, such as a broken display cable.

[SOLVED] Puzzled: Web site visible on network but not outside network

Edit: Ok, nevermind . . . somehow the problem has resolved itself. Perhaps my ISP was having a bad hair day or something.
I'm puzzled by this small problem I'm having. It is NOT a critical problem or anything, just something I'd like to solve.
I've installed the LAMP packages, set up a small MySQL database and made a very simple web interface for it. The web pages open fine on my main computer and all the other computers on our network, but it is not visible outside our network.
I am behind a router and I have forwarded port 80 to my local IP. I've set httpd: ALL, http: ALL and (finally) ALL: ALL: ACCEPT in /etc/hosts.
I got to thinking maybe my ISP (RoadRunner) is blocking port 80 requests to my home, so I changed the port to 9292 and forwarded that to my local IP. Still not visible from the outside.
I've tinkered with the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file (pasted in below) but still there is no outside connectivity, changing the listen settings and the server name settings. I can still access it fine from this side of the router. I've restarted the httpd service many times.
I've done all I can think to do to solve the issue. it is likely I am overlooking something very basic. Any help or ideas are appreciated. Below is my httpd.conf.

[Solved] Cannot "su" properly in a terminal due to a .bashrc error

The problem is simple: I cannot su to my root account properly. I can do so successfully in that I can become "root" but I get no output on the screen after typing in a command. E.g., this is what my terminal shows after su'ing to root and typing the "ls" command:
: ~ : su
Password:
:root:~: ls -a
:root:~:
Even trying to bring up a nano window gives the same result:
:root:~: nano .bashrc
:root:~:
I get this behaviour in RoxTerm but in Xfce-Terminal I get this error instead:
: ~ : su
Password:
-bash: printf: write error: Broken pipe
Broken pipe (core dumped)
: ~ :
I have received the same error in the past in RoxTerm but it seems to have gone away today. I did Google that error but I found nothing that seemed to point to a solution for this issue. And, after a lot of experimentation and troubleshooting, I've narrowed down my issue to an error in my .bashrc file. However, despite combing through it several times, and finding other errors, I still can't locate what is causing this issue.

Thank you very much for the response Jason and I am sorry for the late reply but as usual life got in the way.
I ended up doing some more experimentation and I did fix the bug you pointed out. When this didn't solve the problem I started to look at other files. It turned out that my .bash_aliases file was the real culprit. The offending line was:
alias su='su -l | cd ~/' # invokes a login shell then changes to root's home directory
I fixed the issue by changing that line to read:
alias su='su -l ' # invokes a login shell then changes to root's home directory
As always thank you for the help,

[solved] three questions regardings functions and aliases in .bashrc

Hi everyone,
i've been adding some useful functions and aliases i found at these forums to my .bashrc.
However, i have some problems with shell scripting i hope someone more knowledgable here can help me out with:
1)
I've found a useful function here at the forum that detaches an application from the terminal and redirects the output to /dev/null.
The problem is, sudo doesn't recognize it.
One example:
alias sm="nh sudo medit" works.
alias sm="sudo nh medit" gives me nh: command not found
Can i make sudo recognize functions in my .bashrc?
2)
I use the alias f="find | grep" which works very nice for me however it only searches the current working directory.
What i want to achieve is an alias or function that let's me specify the path "find" will look in so i can write: f path file.
Among others I've tried alias fs="{ find $1 -iname '*'$2'*'; }" and similar aliases and functions but either find or grep (if used) are always complaining about something.
3)
This is actually quite similar to 2).
I've added shopt -s extglob to my .bashrc which allows me to exclude files from removal via rm !(file).
So now i can type rm !(g*) and everything in the current directory except files starting with g get deleted.
This is great but since I'm very lazy i want to wrap it in an alias so i can type the following with wildcard support just like above:
rme file1 file2 file3
I hoped alias rme="rm !($1) ($2) ($3)" would do the trick here but i guess i suck at shell scripting.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
demian

Regarding issue 1)
17:22 ~ > type nh
nh is a function
nh ()
nohup "$@" &>/dev/null &
Could you explicate what you mean by adding nh to the path? I have a PATH variable defined for my own scripts and i actually thought of adding .bashrc somehow to it, but i don't really know how. I guess i would have to export the function into a file and add that directory containing that file to my PATH=$PATH:..."?
If switching to zsh would fix issue 1 i'd consider it. But wouldn't i have to rewrite most of my .bashrc? Because that'd probably be alot of work.
Regarding issue 2)
Thanks, I'm using functions for finding files / content now and it works splendid.
f () { find -iname $1 2>/dev/null; }
fc ()
{ # find | grep
if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
echo "findcontent: No arguments entered."; return 1
else
# "{.[a-zA-Z],}*" instead of "." makes the output cleaner
find {.[a-zA-Z],}* -type f 2>/dev/null | xargs grep --color=auto -n $* 2>/dev/null
fi
fcd ()
{ # find | grep
if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
echo "findcontent: No arguments entered."; return 1
else
# "{.[a-zA-Z],}*" instead of "." makes the output cleaner
find $1 {.[a-zA-Z],}* -type f 2>/dev/null | xargs grep --color=auto -n $2 2>/dev/null
fi
fd () { find $1 -iname $2 2>/dev/null; }
ff () { find / -iname $1 2>/dev/null; }
Do you by chance know how i can get the find output colorized? I tried it with grep but i had some trouble with wildcards.
Other than that, issue 2 is solved now, thanks guys .
Regarding issue 3)
I couldn't make that work even with functions. I wonder if it's even possible using "shopt -s extglob".
Because if i run "rm !(g*)" in my terminal it works fine. Every file except those starting with g get deleted.
But if i fun "rm !(g*) !(7*)" to keep files starting with 7 too, everything get's deleted. Not even those starting with g remain.
I'd be glad for any input here.
Regards,
demian

[SOLVED] Grub Error "Read or write outside of disk hd0"

Trying to install Arch Linux (as per client request) on an old Seagate Mirra Personal Server. I reflashed the bios to get rid of the Seagate modified ROM and put the standard, stock, VIA bios image on there. Everything boots fine, it boots windows fine. But when I install Arch Linux on the drive and try to boot, it errors out with
Booting...
GRUB Loading.
Welcome to GRUB!
error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'.
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>
When I ran grub-install and grub-mkconfig during installation neither reported errors or warnings. I'm open to ideas but I need to fix this sooner rather later as this is for a client. A forum thread I found in regards to Ubuntu and grub error 18 said to run:
apt-get remove linux-server
apt-get install linux-386
under Ubuntu and then it would boot. I know Arch removed i386 support a few months ago but im finding it hard to believe that the error above is because of an architecture mismatch. Also I didnt think the CPU in this thing was that old. Hardware Info from the arch live cd says
CPU Vendor: Centaur
CPU Model: VIA Nehemiah
1 core, 64k L2 Cache, 32bit
the Mirra is from 2007 or so, so I expected i686 Arch to be just fine for it.
Ideas???
EDIT:
Wikipedia's Article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIA_C3
States: "Additionally, it implemented the cmov instruction, making it a 686-class processor"
So it shouldn't be an issue of i386 vs i686, right?

Good morning to all of You.
Sorry for posting in a [SOLVED] thread but I find the info that I am about to add relevant and I am betting my vital organs that someone else might find it interesting too.
I did an upgrade last night on my Thinkpad 600E. I was not upgrading it for several days (2 weeks tops) as I lost my USB wifi card and had no internet access on this particular machine. So...
As always before upgrade I checked my rss reader for news and sure enough there was a very informative post from Allan (thanks Dude btw.) in there:
https://www.archlinux.org/news/binaries … ervention/
I did as I was told and upgraded in the indicated way. All was peachy till I rebooted to get new kernel to load. I was met with the mentioned error:
error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'.
but the second part was slightly different.
Error: You need to load kernel first
SO since the error was different why am I posting here? Because even after Googling the whole error message this post was the first to come up in my search results so I am betting others will get here as well.
Solution? After an hour or so of fighting (I tried booting up from the Arch CD and fscking partitions, reinstalling / reconfiguring grub, downgrading grub-bios and grub-common packages and many many other things) I finally rebooted to the Arch cd, chrooted (for all those that do not know what that means I would like to recommend this link as chrooting is explained in it https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … %27_Guide) to the installation and I have reinstalled the linux (kernel) package and redid the image with the:
mkinitcpio -p linux
and rebooted. Turns out that did the trick. Apparently something went wrong during the kernel upgrade. Possibly due to the changes explained in Allan's article. Reinstalling kernel / recreating image did the trick for me.
So if You are still wondering what am I doing here and why am I replying in this thread - the answer is - 99% search results from Google suggests that this error means incompatibility between bios and the hard drive AND there is nothing really out there that I found helpful in this case. I mean it could not be a bios / hdd incompatibility. This drive has been used in this machine for few years and it was running Arch since November 2012... so this just could not be the case. I am just giving a shout to all those that will get this error that there is another option too.
Kind regards. Thanks for reading. My apologies again for sticking my nose in.
Andrzej
Edit: Few months later the same error - fix does not work... Trying to figure it out...

Getting root to recognize .bashrc [SOLVED]

How do I get root to recognize my home directory's .bashrc? I want it to read that so I can color the root BASH prompt and have access to aliases.
Any help would be most appreciated.

phrakture wrote:I know!
Don't run as root, just use sudo. Problem solved.
Then how do you make sudo use your aliases, i've got
alias emacs='emacs -nw'
both in /home/user/.bashrc and /root/.bashrc... it works well when i just type emacs in a console, but sudo emacs starts emacs with its ugly gui (although starting emacs after typing sudo -s works the way i want it to)
It's the same with with ls too, try and compare ls to sudo ls

[SOLVED] Use the nouveafb as framebuffer and the nv driver for Xorg

Hi! I'm using Arch on a JAMMA Arcade cabinet (one of those old arcade cabinet) so i need some strange video resolution to suit my needs.
The best option is a 640x240 @ 60Hz vertical and 15Khz horizontal. Arcade screens must have an horizontal frequency of 15Khz or I'll fry my screen! Luckily i use a card called J-PAC that cut off the video signal if is not 15Khz.
With Xorg there's no problem if i use the nv driver, using this Modeline do the trick:
# 640x240x60.00 @ 15.240kHz Perfect screen mode for Xorg
Modeline "640x240x60.00" 12.192000 640 656 720 800 240 244 248 254 -HSync +VSync
I've found this modeline using a little program called umc: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27550
Instead Xorg crash randomly if I use the same modeline with the nouveau driver, sometimes at startup, other times during the Xorg session. I use some "no edid" options that let me use strange video resolutions but i don't know if this is bothering the nouveau driver or not, surely it isn't bothering the old dear nv driver.
BUT WAIT!!!!
The nv driver can be loaded only if the nouveau driver is not loaded!
So if I use the nv driver for Xorg i lose the nouveafb, and the nouveafb is the only one that works for me 'cause i can't force a non standard video resolution like 640x240@60hz on vesa and uvesafb! At least this is what i've learned from the docs, tell me if i'm wrong: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/g … vesafb.txt
For now the only thing that make the framebuffer works at 640x240 is this: video=DVI-I-1:640x240@60eMm but this kernel command works only with KMS and the nouveafb.
So my question is, can i use the nouveau driver for framebuffer only ? and the NV driver for Xorg ?
Or there is another approach ?
I remind you that i need a resolution of 640x240 both on the framebuffer and on Xorg, i'm using an old GeForce4 Ti4600 that is supported by nouveau (chip NV20).
Thank for your patience and your time.
Bye for now.

Hi
It seems (well for now all is stable)... that now I got a more stable situation loading the nouveau module directly from initramfs.
I'm guessing that now this is the solution, is the only thing i've changed, now fbsplash works also on start. (yay!)
For solution documenting, you can do the same doing like this:
1. edit the /etc/mkinitcpio.conf file with nano, vim or whatever.
2. Add at the MODULES="" the nouveau module like this: MODULES="nouveau"
3. Add the modprobe.conf file to the FILES="" line, like this: FILES="/etc/modprode.d/modprobe.conf"
4. OPTIONAL: If you are using fbsplash like me you must add at the HOOKS also the fbsplash script like this: HOOKS="base udev fbsplash ..." : look here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fbsplash
5. OPTIONAL: On an arcade cabinet the best text font must be tiniest possible like an 8x8. I'm using cp865-8x8 wich is much better than Agafari-16 that is good for high resolutions. To use this console font as soon as possible you can add also consolefont to the HOOKS like, like this: HOOKS="...[stuff before] consolefont"; look here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … fault_font.
6. Then you must remake the initramfs images doing this: mkinitcpio -p kernel26 (or whatever kernel you wan't to use as a model, i'm using kernel26-fbcondecor).
To use fbcondecor, you can find the kernel26-fbcondecor package from AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15603 (please support this package)
Xorg seems very stable for now. I'm using the nouveafb framebuffer with fbsplash on an old arcade cabinet and that's some fine eye candy man!
PROBLEM SOLVED!
BUT WAIT!!!
I have to know now what's the difference between loading nouveau from initramfs... I don't know if the problem is related to nouveau or KMS or fbcondecor, or fbsplash, or the kernel I'm not so good to know that.
Now can any kernel guru tell me what is the basic difference by loading a module from initramfs instead making the kernel load it, a part the fact that is loaded a bit earlier from initramfs. There are also difference between memory areas ?
I'll send a bug report and how to reproduce it, but i guess that my configuration is a bit out of the mainstream...
Thank to anyone that have taken a look at this post.

[SOLVED]error: attempt to read or write outside of partition

Hello, I update my system at least once a week, sometimes I run pacman -Syu more than that. So this system is no more than about 7 days behind what is available today. Last time I did this the kernel got updated and it updated itself again or at least it just ran mkinitcpio, also my passwd and group changed, anything that was not represented in the pacnew version got a representation, this last one mainly featured a lot of changes to "/usr/bin/nologin" from the login false version, whatever it was, nothing that looks too fussy.
Reboot just to see what will happen and I am greeted with this:
Booting `Arch Linux, with Linux core repo kernel'
Loading Linux core repo kernel ...
error: attempt to read or write outside of partition

Aborted. Press any key to exit.
I happen to have a usb drive that has Arch Linux 3.11.6.-1-ARCH, so I put that in and get an environment I can work with. Chroot in and so I can run mkinitcpio -p linux, thinking that that is the problem, some error in the kernel, I actually end up using the command
# /usr/lib/modules
, since
# mkinicpio -p linux
won't run, it gives:
==> Building image from preset: /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.present: 'default'

However,
# mkinitcpio -g /boot/linux.img -k 3.14.6-1-ARCH
will. Everything finishes with a success, exit out, reboot and bam, same message, so it is not the kernel at least not on its own. Here is what my fstab looks like:

# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect block filesystems"
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev block filesystems"
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS="base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems"
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS="base udev block lvm2 filesystems"
## NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
# usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck"
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression

While I am here I might as well ask this is this an appropriate boot structure?
/boot/

Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get my system back?

Inside of my rescue disk I get:
# efibootmgr
BootCurrent: 000A
Timeout: 0 seconds
BootOrder: 0005,0003,0001,0002,000A,0004,0000,0007,0008,0009

Boot0007* CD/DVD Drive
Boot0008* USB Floppy/CD
Boot0009* Hard Drive
Boot000A* UEFI: SanDisk Cruzer Glide 1.26
my /dev/sda1 was /boot/ not /boot/efi, so I made that change, allowing /boot on / [/dev/sda3] to now be populated with part of the stuff on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda1 would just have /boot/efi/, instead of all of boot, then ran:
# modprobe -r efivars
# umount /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
# modprobe -r efivarfs
# modprobe efivarfs
# mount -t efivarfs efivarfs /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
# efivar -l
returned a bunch of variables
# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=grub --recheck --debug
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

arch_grub, whatever that was, went away. Pull out of arch-chroot, unmount sdaXs, reboot and:
ERROR: No boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed.
An extensive hp diagnostic check reveals... Nothing wrong.
A reboot and removal of all data written in /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda3/boot sectors reveals:
# mkdir /boot/efi/123
mkdir: cannot create directory /boot/efi/123: Cannot allocate memory
Which persist even on a restart and trying to mkdir into /mnt/arch/boot/efi/EFI while outside of arch-chroot. No idea why that is happening, oh well.

Issue with fortune-mod and .bashrc solved..

someone may find this useful. I was working with fortune-mod. I put the fortune-mod call into my .bashrc, so that every time I create a new shell, i get a new futurama quote. 8)
Anway, it was screwing up my scp activities, because it was generating output.
So, to avoid this, use the following in your .bashrc
if [ "$PS1" ]; then
/usr/bin/fortune futurama
fi
similarly, if you want any textual output to appear everytime you create a shell, make sure to put it between the above if and fi.
of course, make sure you put this BEFORE you set your shell to something nice like:
PS1="\[\033[01;31m\](\[\033[00;37m\]\u@\h \W\[\033[01;31m\])\[\033[00m\]\$ "
hope this helps someone. It took me a little while to figure out what was going on. [/code]

I wasn't looking for this but now that i've found it it's great!
Cheers!

[SOLVED] .bashrc on framebuffer (outside X)
