[SOLVED] Why does android-sdk remain in AUR?

It seems that with 1500+ votes it might be worthy of being put in [community]. I'm just curious.

The two most common reasons that popular packages stay in the AUR:
1. Licensing
2. No dev or TU uses them and can't maintain them.
A quick search through the license turns up this, emphasis added by me:
3.3 You may not use the SDK for any purpose not expressly permitted by this License Agreement. Except to the extent required by applicable third party licenses, you may not: (a) copy (except for backup purposes), modify, adapt, redistribute, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or create derivative works of the SDK or any part of the SDK; or (b) load any part of the SDK onto a mobile handset or any other hardware device except a personal computer, combine any part of the SDK with other software, or distribute any software or device incorporating a part of the SDK.

[SOLVED]Why does .bash_profile seem tobe read in non-login shells too?

~/.bash_profile:
. $HOME/.bashrc
~/.bashrc:
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/code/shell
(irrelevant lines left out)
(I have no ~/.profile, ~/.bash_login or * ~/.bash_logout. I have also never edited /etc/profile or /etc/bash.bashrc.)
I've read that in a login shell (e.g. TTY1) only the former is read, which in my case sources the latter. Running "export -p" in TTY1 gives a result consistent with this:
declare -x PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin/core_perl:/home/lazar/code/shell" (/home/lazar/code/shell is only listed once)
I've also read that in a non-login shell (e.g. xterm) only the latter is read. However, when I run "export -p" in xterm or urxvt I get an unexpected result:
declare -x PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin/core_perl:/home/lazar/code/shell:/home/lazar/code/shell" (/home/lazar/code/shell is listed twice!)
This implies that ~.bashrc is read twice, perhaps because .bash_profile is read in non-login shells too, even though it shouldn't be, should it? It doesn't seem to matter really, but I can't help but wonder why...
[EDIT]
I've found the answer. Exports from .bash_profile are done at boot time and *remain* active while X is active. Opening a non-login shell will cause .bashrc to export as well. Hence the duplication. My solution:
~/.bash_profile:
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/code/shell
. $HOME/.bashrc
~/.bashrc:
(lines other than export commands)

As I wondered, I think it's a problem with passwd. I don't have a dbus entry and must have missed it when I was copying things around between my version and the .pacnew. Downloading an install disc now since I can't seem to change it from the recovery console due to mounting root read-only.
I'd love to know of a way to boot that avoids starting dbus and other things that might break while still having read/write access to root. Will mark solved once I update /etc/passwd and reboot.

[solved] Trouble installing android SDK and eclipse plugin

Hi !
Owner of an HTC hero, I would like to develop some apps for it. However, I have problems to install the android eclipse plugin on my archs (a 32 and a 64 bits) while it is working fine on my roommate's ubuntu...
I'm following these instructions : http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html
At step 3, when I click OK in order to add the site, just nothing happens, the pop up stays displayed and I can still clic on the bottons, (but only "cancel" do something...) . I've tried to start eclipse from the console, but no output here
Why do you think this happens ?
I have also problem with the sdk tools :
when I try to view the available packages il get :
Failed to fetch URL https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repos … sitory.xml, reason: HTTPS SSL error. You might want to force download through HTTP in the settings.
(even if I ask to use HTTP insted of HTTPS)
Have you already got this problem?
Thanks,
Fredszaq (from France, escuse english mistakes...)

[SOLVED] Why does jre7-openjdk-headless require a version bump?

I'm attempting to update my system, and I get the following error.
sudo pacman -Syu
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: jre7-openjdk-headless and jre7-openjdk-headless-infinality are in conflict. Remove jre7-openjdk-headless-infinality? [y/N]
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: jre7-openjdk-headless and jre7-openjdk-headless-infinality are in conflict
I presume pacman wants to remove jre7-openjdk-headless-infinality because it's 7.u65_2.5.1-3, while jre7-openjdk-headless is 7.u65_2.5.1-8. I presume jre7-openjdk-headless-infinality will be updated soon, and I won't get this error.
However, I was interested in what exactly was requesting this version bump in the first place. I presume that it's a package that jre7-openjdk-headless-infinality is a dependency for. I looked firstly at what needed to be updated on my system, noting jre7-openjdk.
$ pacman -Qu
calibre 1.206.0-1
device-mapper 2.02.108-1
ffmpeg 1:2.3.1-1
jdk7-openjdk 7.u65_2.5.1-3
jre7-openjdk 7.u65_2.5.1-3
lib32-krb5 1.12.1-2
lvm2 2.02.108-1
mesa-demos 8.2.0-1
xf86-input-synaptics 1.8.0-2
I had a look at the reverse dependencies for jre7-openjdk-headless-infinality, noting jre7-openjdk again.
$ pacman -Qii jre7-openjdk-headless-infinality
Provides : java-runtime-headless=7 jre7-openjdk-headless
Depends On : libjpeg-turbo lcms2 nss ca-certificates-java
Required By : jre7-openjdk
Conflicts With : openjdk6 jre7-openjdk-headless jre7-openjdk-headless-fontfix
I interpret that as pacman -Syu saying that jre7-openjdk needs an update, and this also depends on jre7-openjdk-headless-infinality. I double checked this.
$ pacman -Qi jre7-openjdk
Provides : java-runtime=7
Depends On : jre7-openjdk-headless xdg-utils hicolor-icon-theme
So I can see that jre7-openjdk actually depends on jre7-openjdk-headless, which can be provided by jre7-openjdk-headless-infinality (as above). However, I don't understand why a new version of jre7-openjdk requires a bump in version of jre7-openjdk-headless (or jre7-openjdk-headless-infinality). Have I misunderstood something?

EDIT: actually, when testing the different "useSystemAAFontSettings" parameters I somehow missed "on" - that one does indeed work well enough with the arch java packages. I still prefer the "--enable-infinality=yes" version, but you can scrap my whining below - PEBCAK.
Wikimig wrote:What I mean is: I think you don't even need Infinality patch (just like most of people using this package). I am pretty sure you can get to a nice clean look with official Arch Linux packages.
I completely understand that the official package has to remove the infinality flag if it breaks (default) non-infinality setups - but:
You should definitely give fontconfig-infinality a try (very easy to install thanks to bohoomil's bundle). In my experience it massively improves font rendering. However, the current java7-openjdk really does not work with it, there is no way to get a nice clean look. I tried all the AA settings, and they were all terrible.
Best settings with vanilla java7
Same settings with --enable-infinality
It looks even worse in reality, but just zoom in all the way to the left upper corner and compare... these are some pretty sparkling rainbow fonts
Again, unfortunate, but I rather rebuild from ABS with "--enable-infinality=yes" than drop infinality completely.

Is there a setting such that the application closes (quits) when the (last) file is closed? Why does the application remain active when there are no files for it open?

I honestly did try to find my own answer, but cannot. Not sure why a simple question would have its answer so difficult to find. I'd just like the application to simply close after the last file is closed. It seems strange to have the application remain active. Thanks for your help.

It's also a bit strange that even though I searched throughout the community for questions like this......so that I wouldn't take up space for something already discussed........that immediately after I posted my question, the "
More Like This" side window comes up that describes questions just like mine.
So, sorry to have bothered anyone with having to read another duplicate question. I see that the answer to my first question is "No", and there's likely not a good answer for "Why".
Thanks anyway.

Why does Android Reader smart zoom not work as described on Google Nexus 7 2013 tablet?

The smart zoom feature in Android Acrobat Reader allows you to double tap on a text column and the reader will zoom up to the column in improve readability. This feature works great on the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 smart phone, but only appears to zoom half way on the Google Nexus 7 2013 tablet.

Why does folio size remain same when images are sized down?

In the constant battle to keep the folio size down, I found and eliminated a stray print-size image (40mb) and replaced it with a 2mb file however my folio is still claiming the same size when I see the update come in. Any idea out there why a folio will hang on to its size in this case.
Thanks in advance

Because we automatically resize the images to 108ppi at the pixel dimensions of the containing frame. A 40MB print image doesn't pass through to the folio as 40MB. It'll get sampled down.

[SOLVED] Why does my JAVA_HOME point to jre instead of jdk?

I am having a strange phanomenon.
I have jdk7-openjdk installed, but I still have
% echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/jre
This is only with my current user. When I try root or a freshly created user, I correctly get
% echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk
So I guess this is caused by something in my home directory. As 'grep -r JAVA_HOME ~/.*' does not give any hints, I do not know how to investigate this further.
Maybe someone here has any idea how to find out more.
Last edited by cbuehler (2013-12-22 10:20:30)

As far as I understand, the order is not important in this case, because jre.sh only overrides JAVA_HOME if it is not set before.
I also like to avoid making configuration changes when it looks like the default config should work fine.
But brebs' reply inspired me to run 'sh -x /etc/profile', which finally shed light into my issue:
+++ . /home/cbuehler/Siemens/Teamcenter10.1/Visualization/bin/visviewwebinit /home/cbuehler/Siemens/Teamcenter10.1/Visualization
++++ '[' X_ = X_True ']'
++++ '[' -n /home/cbuehler/Siemens/Teamcenter10.1/Visualization ']'
++++ export EAI_INSTALL=/home/cbuehler/Siemens/Teamcenter10.1/Visualization
++++ EAI_INSTALL=/home/cbuehler/Siemens/Teamcenter10.1/Visualization
++++ '[' -d /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/jre -o -h /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/jre ']'
++++ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/jre
++++ JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/jre
I have Teamcenter Visualization installed in my home directory. And this changes my JAVA_HOME in /home/cbuehler/Siemens/Teamcenter10.1/Visualization/bin/visviewwebinit:
# If JAVA_HOME points to the top level java directory, reset it to point to the JRE directory.
if [ -d $JAVA_HOME/jre -o -h $JAVA_HOME/jre ]; then
export JAVA_HOME=$JAVA_HOME/jre
fi
I commented this part out and now everything works fine.
Thank you very much for your help.

[SOLVED] Why does nano "ctrl+o" `selects all`?

I am frequently using nano, but recently when I try to save the file and hit "ctrl+o" all text gets selected instead of saving the file.
Nevertheless, I can save the file in nano only if I switch my keyboard to Russian layout. Then "ctrl+o" correctly works.
Using English layout I can invoke `save file` by hitting "ctrl+shift+o" but it all worked perfectly with "ctrl+o" before.
I have had this nasty behaviour before but forgot what was the reason and how to fix it.
Does anybody know what's going on?

Oh, you're right. It is my "lilyterm" that overrides the default nano binding. In lilyterm "ctrl+o" selects all text area. Now, I reassigned the hotkey and nano is back to normal. Thanks!

[SOLVED] Why does python2-numpy depend on python3 packages?

Looking at the dependencies for python2-numpy it seems to depend on a bunch of stuff that's for version 3 of python:
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extr … on2-numpy/
In particular python-nose is an optional dependency but python-nose is a python3 package. The python2 version is, as should be, in python2-nose. It could be a bug, but I figured I'd ask if anyone can think of a good reason for this before reporting.
Last edited by vlsd (2013-10-22 19:38:49)

Scimmia wrote:Do you know for sure that the python2-numpy testsuite doesn't require python3?
Well, given that the test suite is part of numpy and is called from inside python2 I would be *very* surprised if it depended on python3. It would require importing python3-nose with a python2 interpreter, something that is, to the extent of my knowledge, not possible.
I also just tested this on my system and numpy in python2 doesn't run the tests if python-nose is installed but python2-nose is not, which makes me 100% confident the dependency is wrong.

[SOLVED] Why does `dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc` cause disk-reads?

I have noticed this on multiple occasions. When wiping a drive, but also when writing other content to it; both atop and iotop show that the disk is reading and writing the same amount of data. This feels like it is slowing down the writing I want it to do. Is there an option in dd I'm missing? Happens on multiple machines, kernels and disks. It feels like the linux-kernel is verifying what was written to the disk; but I cannot find any documentation on this
Last edited by Spider.007 (2014-07-15 07:43:21)

The default dd block size is 512 bytes, which is the traditional size of HDD sectors.
However, most of the time, Linux performs disk IO in 4kB blocks. When you submit a sequence of 512 byte write requests, it reads a 4kB block, modifies it part-by-part in 512 byte chunks, writes it back, reads another 4kB block and so on.
Setting bs to at least 4kB should eliminate the reads. Increasing it to few MB may improve performance slightly further by reducing the number of individual write requests and hence the time spent by the kernel on "understanding" them.

[SOLVED] Appcelerator Titanium Studio: Android SDK Not Found

Hello,
This is my first post here, as it is my first week of using arch linux
I have a problem using Appcelerator Titanium Studio. I have installed android sdk but whenever I select it's location through the titanium studio configuration window, it shows the error "Android SDK not found at the specified path":
MOD EDIT -- Please follow image posting rules -- Inxsible
What I tried and did:
1. Installed Android-SDK through yaourt in /opt/android-sdk, updated all packages through ./android, copied adb into "tools" as suggested by appcelerator. Tried selecting this directory in titanium, did not work.
I tried all of the following paths:
/opt/android-sdk
/opt/android-sdk/
/opt/android-sdk/tools
/opt/android-sdk/platform-tools
2. Installed Android-SDK manually by downloading the latest binaries: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sd … ux_x86.tgz into ~/android-sdk
I updated all packages there again though ./android and tried selecting all paths I could think of related to that directory in titanium studio, did not work again.
3. I thought maybe folder permissions are the problem but even a 777 wouldn't work.
4. I checked the titanium log file and here is the error shown: http://pastebin.com/2XRJ1xyx
Here is the script mentioned in the error: http://pastebin.com/jXvaa23M
5. I also tried setting #!/usr/bin/env python2 in the script since the default interpreter is python 3 in my system, did not work.
Additional Info: I have Sun JDK 64bit, JRE, tried both 32 & 64 of Titanium Studio, the 32 one didn't want to run at all.
I can confirm that android SDK works since the emulator is running flawless.
So at this point I can't continue anymore and have no idea where to go next :S
any help / experiences appreciated.
