[SOLVED] MASM Assembly X86 Programming on Arch

Whats the best way to program MASM in Arch? I could go for an IDE or use VIM and then use the CLI to compile, but I'm not sure how to do it, on Windows I just used VS which has a built in MASM compiler. I tried installing Jwasm but I'm not sure what to do as in I don't know how to install it lol. Its just a zip file with a bunch of files in it. I tried the tarball from the AUR too but that gives me an error. can anyone help me? Many thanks I am new to Arch. actually I installed it a few years ago but went back to Windows when my laptop died. This is the last obstacle to making Arch perfect for me

Thanks for the reply! So I tried pacman on hd2u and that didnt work since it said target wasn't found. So I figured it was probably on the AUR so I downloaded the tarball, unzipped it, went into the folder, and did makepkg -si, but it spat out this

I also tried makepkg -s but it yields the same error.
pacman -S base-devel
Thank you!!! This got everything working! Cheers!

LabVIEW function to detect 32 Bit (X86 Program Files) vs 64 Bit (Program Files) System?

I am looking for a LabVIEW function that detects whether the system is a 32 bit or 64 bit system. The reason for this is that I need to change our file paths to draw from either the X86 Program Files folder or the Program Files folder, I'd rather do this programatically so as not having to do it manually each time.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Use "Application Directory" for relative paths from your EXE in "Program Files".
Otherwise, use "Get System Directory.vi" and select "Application Files" as option.

Run a qt program in arch

I want to run a qt program in arch. Is it necessary to install KDE or GNOME desktop before that? or I can simply run it in console as well? considering that the program is a GUI program with OpenGL.
if it is possible to run in console as well before tell me how, I have already installed xorg and start x works fine.

Many qt programs depend on some parts of KDE, so you may need to have those parts installed.
If the program you need to run is present in the repos, simply install it and pacman will fetch all the required dependencies (i.e., any relevant part of KDE) by itself.
To sum it up, you don't need to run the KDE suite, but you will have to install the relevant dependencies. The program itself should run fine with any WM or DE.
what about if I do not download qt using pacman and instead install qt offline? in that case how will it know which dependencies it needs to download?
1) Stop what you're doing.
2) Think very carefully about what it is you want to accomplish.
3) Explain in detail to the people here what it it is you are trying to accomplish, why you wish to do so, and what you've attempted so far in order to do so.
So far, you've met every answer to one of your questions with yet another, seemingly unrelated question; you're just leading the folks here in circles with no clear goal. No matter what it is you happen to be doing, or when, or where, this is simply not an effective or efficient way to get things done. Arch is a Do-It-Yourself distribution and community; folks here will only remain patient for so long.

[Solved] Boot process hangs for installed Arch and installation usb

Hi. I've been using Arch Linux for around 6 months now and I'm in love with it. It is now my primary OS. However, I might have done something or performed some update, and I can no longer boot into Arch. The boot process hangs right before it should show the login screen (I'm using Gnome 3.6 with GDM). I see the following messages on the screen:
Loading Linux core repo kernel ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
/dev/sda3: recovering journal
/dev/sda3: clean, 330610/1749664 files, 5585671/6996827 blocks
And then it hangs right there. I have to hard-reboot after this.
I then tried to boot using the Arch Linux Installation USB (archlinux-2012.12.01-dual.img), which also hangs at a particular point, before it should show me the prompt. I took a picture of the screen where it hangs: Screen Capture. This is an issue with just my laptop, because the USB boots just fine on another laptop I tried.
I also have Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.10 installed on my system, and I'm able to boot into both of them.
I have 2 hard drives: /dev/sda is a 120GB SSD, and /dev/sdb is a 500GB hard disk. My partitions are as follows:
sda1 - Windows 7 100MB System Reserved Partition (boot flag enabled)
sda2 - Windows 7 OS
sda3 - ArchLinux (boot flag enabled)
sdb1 - Ubuntu 12.10 (boot flag enabled)
sdb2 - Just data
I ran bootinfoscript and below is the output:

Ok.. So my Arch Linux randomly decided to work. I'm sure I didn't do anything between my last "not working" state and my current "working" state. Below are a few things I tried:
I thought of trying an earlier build of ArchLinux, and downloaded archlinux-2012.11.01-dual.iso and made a bootable USB out of it. It still hung.
I was getting error messages during Arch boot that the last access time for the disks was at a future date. I found out that Ubuntu was using localtime instead of UTC and screwing up my hardware clock. I fixed it, and thought maybe the time issues were causing the boot problem. But fixing time didn't solve my problem.
I chrooted into Arch from my Ubuntu install, ran 'sudo pacman -Syyu' and updated my Arch install.
I thought maybe GDM isn't starting up. I re-enabled the service using 'systemctl enable gdm.service'.
I removed OpenNTPd and installed NTPd. Enabled the daemon using 'systemctl enable ntpd'
None of the above solved the problem, and rebooting to Arch still hung the system. So I stopped fiddling with it yesterday. Today, as usual, I just tried logging into Arch.. And it just worked out of the blue. The solution to me is as mysterious as the problem.
I told this to my friend who introduced me to Arch, and this is what he said:
Damn it computers, you were supposed to be deterministic!

[SOLVED]Compiling 32bit C programs on a 64bit arch

Hi guys, for the first time I decided to use 64bit arch on my machine and so far no complains (I don't think there will ever be). I'm a student of computer engineering and I use C to code some projects but I haven't found a way to compile 32bit programs on my 64bit arch. Everybody says "just add -m32 flag to the compile step" but I think this is not all I have to do (it doesn't work if I just do that).
To prove it I have created a simple "hello world" in C:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
printf("Hello, World");
return 0;
When I try to compile it, I just run
gcc -m32 hello.c -o hello
But all I get is
In file included from /usr/include/features.h:399:0,
from /usr/include/stdio.h:27,
from test.c:1:
/usr/include/gnu/stubs.h:7:27: fatal error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file or directory
compile finish
Needless to say it doesn't create the hello executable. Is there some packages I have to install in order to have this happen?

Well, you could see that something "-32" is missing so you are searching for 32 bit stuff that is not installed.
There's a tool called pkgfile which searches in the repository database for a file name and tells you which package it is in.
In this case, stubs-32.h
~ % pkgfile stubs-32.h
multilib/lib32-glibc
Maybe another helpful article: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … ib_Project

[solved] Xfce4 unwanted autostarting programs

I have developed a small irritation with what i believe to be Xfce4. Upon every reboot (or cold start) of my machine. When i log into Xfce4, Chromium and a Terminal window both autostart. Chromium starts minimised and the terminal starts visable in the centre of my screen. Some information that may be relevant: Xfce 4.10, Xfwm4, Kernel 3.8.11-1-ARCH, SLiM, Xorg server 1.14.1.
I am not aware of making any changes this problem appeared out of the blue. I have checked the Session and Startup settings and the only autostart programs enabled are Power Manager and Xfsettingsd. I have checked in .config/xfce4 for an autostart folder and there isnt one. There is nothing in .xinitrc
Any help on this would be great thank you.

I feel like such an idiot, I was looking for the most complex solution and forgot about the most obvious. This has solved the problem, thanks Krarl

[solved] Video conversion problem: Mencoder on Arch versus Windows XP

I have a cheap portable video player which (according to a supplied Windows software configuration file) requires any video to be converted (say from a YouTube .flv) using a command line like:
mencoder myfile.flv -ofps 15 -vf-add scale=160:128 -vf-add expand=160:128:-1:-1:1 -srate 44100 -ovc xvid -stereo 0 -xvidencopts bitrate=300:max_bframes=0:quant_type=h263:me_quality=0 -oac lavc -lavcopts acodec=mp2:abitrate=128 -o myfile.avi
If I do the conversion on Linux - my fully-upgraded Arch - the resulting .avi file has the audio and video out of sync when played with Mplayer (on Linux and Windows), and no audio at all when played with Vlc (on Linux and Windows). But if I do (supposedly) exactly the same conversion using Mencoder on Windows, the resulting .avi file plays perfectly on everything on both Linux and Windows (and also the portable video player).
Here's the version information for the Mencoders being used:
Windows: MEncoder Sherpya-MinGW-20060312-4.1.0 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team
Arch: MEncoder SVN-r32492-4.5.1 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team
I'd be grateful for any ideas as to how to make my Mencoder conversion work as well on Linux as it does on Windows XP! (Or is there something wrong with the way I'm playing the file with Mplayer and Vlc on Arch?!)
Last edited by ninian (2010-11-16 23:28:02)

Aha! I think I've cracked it, but using ffmpeg instead, with options prompted by this blog post:
ffmpeg -i infile.flv -r 15 -vcodec mpeg4 -vtag XVID -s 160x128 -aspect 4:3 -qmin 3 -qmax 5 -ar 44100 -ab 128k -ac 2 -acodec mp2 -g 1 outfile.avi
This seems to work everywhere, and the writer specially notes that:
The most important option is the -g 1 to force every frame to be a keyframe
which may well be where my conversions were going wrong. So I'll mark this as 'solved' even though mencoder is still a mystery, but I have learned to keep Vlc up my sleeve, so thanks for that tip again.

How to solve delay in a program with data aquisition and processing

Hello, I am a starter in Labview programing. I am working on a system which contains a roller, a piston and a A/D cart which is from Data Translation Inc (DT304). I am using labview to get speed data of the roller (which is voltage first then be converted into speed) from Analog Input Channels, and then using Analog Output Channels to control the friction force being appylied to the roller by using a piston.
I am using a Waveform Chart to show the speed of roller. However, as I am adding more components to the program, I always get delay in the speed display and also the output control of the piston. Also, as I spent more time using the program eg. from morning to night, it became slower too.
My question is, how does labview store data and how are the data been stored and released in the buffer.Is it because I am loading too much data in the buffer so that it became slower? And also how to solve these delays?
I am using the "save to file" function to write data to a ".lvm" file, but I did some changes to the saving by using a button to enable and disable saving. So I don't think the problem is because I am always saving the data into a file.
Thank you very much.
Jessie

I'm betting it's two things:
1. Program Architecture
and 2. Dynamically resizing arrays.
With the program architecture... if you have one do-while loop that acquires data from teh DAQ, processes it, opens/indexes/writes/closes a file, then comes back around... as your arrays and files increase in size, the loop is going to take longer to execute. A Producer-Consumer loop (a good tutorial on them can be found here) has one loop that acquires data and stuffs the data into a queue. This will buffer the data while it's in transition between acquisition and processing. A second loop in parallel takes data in from the queue, processes it, then comes back around. The two loops operate independently of each other, so even if the consumer loop takes longer as the files or math gets more complex, the producer loop continues to run full speed.
Second is the arrays. Every time you append data into an array, LabVIEW has to make a copy of the data that's in the array. If you append small amounts of data to an array over and over and over again, eventually LabVIEW is going to be copying very large amounts of data over and over and over again. The producer-consumer architecture can alleviate this problem.

Trying to use a java 32bit program in Arch 64bit

After giving up some time ago, I decided once more to try to run a commercial 32bit Java application in my Arch 64bit. The same program runs fine in a vm with Ubuntu 64bit. Also, I installed bin32-jre from aur and I messed up the jre.sh and jdk.sh scripts in /etc/profile.d/ and made it work, but then my native Java 64 bit programs won't run.
To sum up, is there a way to achieve the same Java compatibility that Ubuntu offers? What libs or packages do I have to install and how should I configure them to run every java program, no matter if it is 32 or 64 bit?
Thanks.

Awebb wrote:
Java applications are compiled to bytecode. This bytecode is interpreted by the JRE to run on your specific environment. I don't see how a Java application could be either "32bit" or "64bit". This is the big benefit of Java: Write your code, compile it and run it on every machine that has Java installed.
Let's try to run your "32bit Java application" on 64bit JRE. What errors do you encounter that make you think you need a different environment?
Truth is that things are not so simple. This application uses the SWT toolkit for its interface and has other dependencies besides jre (gtk is one for sure). I would be very grateful if you could download the fully functional demo version from here http://www.wordfast.com/zip/2.4.0.1/lin … nux.tar.gz and give it a try. If you can't do that, I can provide some logs. I am sure the problem is not how Java behaves but the way this app is developed and packaged. I have bought a license some years ago, but I still haven't managed to run it properly on any of my Arch machines and I just wait for the devs to take some action on this issue. I have also asked for help, but it seems that they take for granted that their Linux users use distros with mixed libs (like Ubuntu).
Anyways, thx for your reply.

How compress 3 DV tape inputs for multiclip editing, assemble final program

I have 3 timecoded 95 minute DV tapes of a concert I want to input to FCP for editing in multiclip. This is my first time.
What's a good how-to reference to 1) compress the content to fit my 250 Gig hard drive, 2)edit in multiclip, and 3) assemble the finished program by importing the uncompressed clips I end up using?
Thanks very much. Duncan

Here's a tutorial, plus info in your manual...
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/multicam_editingmartin.html
Is your media simply MiniDV, or another format recorded on DV tape?
If MiniDV, it should all fit easily on your harddrive (provided it is a drive other than your system drive). DV-NTSC takes about 13Gb/hr of footage, so you're well under.
Do not render until after you've finished your multiclip edit and 'collapsed' the multiclip.

[solved]patch 2.6.29-3-ARCH confilict with aufs2

After checked the aufs2 standalone code and 2.6.29-3-ARCH patch, I found 2.6.29-3-ARCH confilict with aufs2...
2.6.29-3-ARCH changed the do_splice_from of fs/splice.c to vfs_splice_from... while aufs2 standalone need do_splice_from ...

How to solve Firefox keep accessing Program Files when I open it?

When I open Firefox, instead of showing the homepage(which is google.com for me) it bring [file:///C:/Program%20Files%20%28x86%29/Mozilla%20Firefox/]. I don't want it to be this way but I don't know how to solve it.
please help :D

Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''about:config'''.
If a warning screen comes up, press the '''Be Careful''' button.
This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter '''browser.newtab.url'''
and press enter. '''browser.newtab.url'''
tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
If you want, right click and select '''Modify'''. You can change the setting to;
'''about:home''' (Firefox default home page),
'''about:newtab''' (shows the sites most visited),
'''about:blank''' (a blank page),
or you can enter any '''web page''' or '''about: page''' you want.
The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
'''browser.startup.homepage'''.

[SOLVED] Install a single program

Hello to everyone and sorry for my poor english.
I want to install "dig" package but I don't need the entire "dnsutils" group. It's possible?
And another question, how can I see all "dnsutils" packages? With another group, for example "kde", I can write "pacman -Sg kde" but it doesn't works with "dnsutils" group.
Thank You very much!

If there is such an option I am not aware of it. It sounds like a good idea for a feature request - or for now you can try this, which I've called pac-list:
#!/bin/bash
repo=$(pacman -Ss $1 | awk 'NR==1 { gsub(/\/.*/,"",$1); print $1; }')
## uncomment only one of the following two lines:
#for arch in x86_64 any; do
for arch in i686 any; do
lynx -dump -width 1024 -nolist \
"http://www.archlinux.org/packages/$repo/$arch/$1/files/" | awk '
/Back to Package/ {show=1;}
/^[ \t]*\*/ {if (show==1) {print $2;} }'
done
edit: of course you can see contents once something is installed with `pacman -Ql <package name>`.
EDIT: oops that script will only occasionally work. The url needs to be constructed a bit more wisely than that. Perhaps I'll tinker with that later.
update: I've sacrified much elegance for some functionality. This now seems to work for a majority of cases. The two looped attempts seem odd to me, but as one should always fail silently, and the other work well, this seems to be a functional solution without having to look up whether the package is 686/x64 or 'any'. I'm sure this will still fail occasionally, but my view on such scripts-of-convenience is to value simplicity over total failsafety. It cannot fail in any dangerous way.

[SOLVED] Just got back to my Arch machine - problems

So, after about a month of not having Internet access, I booted my Arch system today to update everything but of course, I have some problems that are keeping me from doing that. I have Gnome as my DE and when I boot up, I can log in just fine but when I get to the Desktop, I can't click on anything. The mouse moves just fine, the icons even change shade when I put the cursor over them like they can be clicked on but clicking on them does nothing. I have to launch everything with the keyboard, which isn't such a big deal but it's a bit of a nuisance.
The other thing that's bothering me is I have no internet access. I am behind a different router now with an IP of 192.168.1.1 (instead of 192.168.0.1) and I made the appropriate change in the ROUTE variable in rc.conf but it hasn't done anything. I even tried manually adding the default route to the routing table with
#route add -net default gw 192.168.1.1 dev eth0
but that doesn't seem to have done anything either. I have an IP address but I can't ping the router. Oh yeah, and network is listed as a daemon in rc.conf. This is, of course, keeping me from updating my system using pacman.
I may have other problems too but these are the two biggest that I need to get sorted out ASAP so your advice is appreciated. Here is my xorg.conf and a list of processes that are running after boot up.

Hello,
I am behind a router and had to do only very minor tweaks to get it going: just enter the value of the gateway and remove the ! before gateway within the routes variable. Here is the (expanded) relevant part of my rc.conf, I hope it helps you:
# Use 'ifconfig -a' or 'ls /sys/class/net/' to see all available
# interfaces.
# Interfaces to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each interface then list in INTERFACES
# - prefix an entry in INTERFACES with a ! to disable it
# - no hyphens in your interface names - Bash doesn't like it
# Note: to use DHCP, set your interface to be "dhcp" (eth0="dhcp")
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="eth0 10.0.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
# - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it
gateway="default gw 10.0.0.2"
ROUTES=(gateway)
# Enable these network profiles at boot-up. These are only useful
# if you happen to need multiple network configurations (ie, laptop users)
# - set to 'menu' to present a menu during boot-up (dialog package required)
# - prefix an entry with a ! to disable it
# Network profiles are found in /etc/network-profiles
