Why is Arch trending up?

I just went to the distrowatch page and I noticed that for the default 6 month listing Arch is in 10th place. That seems awfully high. Then I went to view the last 7 days detail and arch is in 5th place with over 1000 H.P.D. Is there something going on in the Arch community lately that is causing this high traffic? I've been out of the loop since exams started.

You may want to reconsider that, sand_man. Give Arch half a million members and the forums would be overflowing with "X DOESN'T WORK WTF!!!" type questions, and many questions would be answered immediately with tangential solutions which are at best workarounds or hacks.
Case-in-point the official forums for a certain popular-distro-which-should-not-be-named. I found gems there, but the forum was just a mess.
Maybe there should be a completely separate "newbie" forum where all newcomers have to post until they reach a certain post count. Kind of like a chroot jail, or it could be "chroot probation." All issues from all newcomers go in there. Once a user has a certain number of posts (25, 50, 100, whatever) they "graduate" to being able to post in the main forum.
Not that post count itself means much -- and I definitely don't mean it in any elitist sense -- but you have to use something. It wouldn't guarantee anything, but it might cut down on the forums getting flooded with a lot of stuff that otherwise would all be contained in a single newcomer forum. It would also automatically "weed out" those who are just distro hopping and trying arch out for a while or out of curiosity, but who soon leave.
Another benefit is that the newbie forum could be easily scanned to provide quick, targeted help to newcomers. Not that that doesn't happen now, but I think a forum dedicated to relatively easy newbie issues would not only make it easier to provide stealth help but also serve as a great info resource for newcomers, kind of like a second wiki, or a cross between a forum and a wiki.
Perhaps most importantly for the long term, I think when the person finally did "graduate" to the main forum, a sense of accomplishment, belonging, etc. would come with that and make the person psychologically more invested in keeping the main forum operating smoothly. Win-win all around.

Why does Arch suggest /boot for $esp mount point?

Hi all,
Something has been bugging me, and I can't figure out online why this is the case. Arch always suggests to mount the $esp on /boot, and by reading the Beginner's Guide/Installation wiki pages (and forums), it looks like the reasons are:
- gummiboot upstream expects it there
- pacman can only update kernels in /boot
Other distributions suggest to mount the $esp on /boot/efi, and this has the good effect, that all files of distributions are located in subfolders ($esp/EFI/opensuse/, for example), and are not littering the root $esp folder. If every distribution did what Arch does, then on a multi-distro the root folder of the $esp would have every single kernel/fallback img.
I noticed the FHS doesn't have a standard mount point/folder for the $esp, either.
Is there another reason that Arch suggests this?
Thanks

Gummiboot's method only works if distros keep the /boot folder free of files, and use directories to cleanly categorise kernels, etc. I have yet to find a distribution that does this.
"Works" is relative here. Gummiboot doesn't do things the way you want; that's fine, because a) you don't use it; and b) you can always organize your EFI images as you see fit. Gummiboot will still accomplish its intended task: booting a working Linux kernel from an EFI image. The Gummiboot Arch wiki page states that the ESP must be mounted at /boot for it to work, but that's it. The UEFI wiki page doesn't mention mounting at boot at all---only to /boot/efi. The EFISTUB page mentions that if you don't mount to /boot, you need to mount the ESP somewhere and manually copy the images to the ESP. The GRUB wiki page doesn't make statements on where the ESP should be mounted, but does make it clear that GRUB needs to be told where the ESP is mounted during installation. The Beginner's Guide does recommend mounting the ESP to /boot, and then links to another page with more information.
Reading the Beginner's Guide without following the links may give the impression that mounting to /boot is something of a requirement, but it depends on the use case.You have four options when booting from UEFI: rEFInd, Gummiboot, GRUB and EFISTUB. The first requires the ESP to be mount at /boot/efi, like it or not. The second requires it to be mounted at /boot, like it or not. The latter two have no strict requirements of where the ESP be mounted, but mounting anywhere other than /boot requires extra work on the part of the user. Yes, if you mount the ESP to /boot and run multiple distributions then the kernel images are still going to clutter the /boot directory, which is exactly what happens if you share a /boot partition between distributions no matter what (and as I alluded to earlier, there are cases in which this is necessary). UEFI has nothing to do with that, and it's one reason that each distribution has its own naming conventions for its kernel image (a Linux kernel built from source will always be called "bzImage" regardless of the distribution its built on). Arguably, none of that matters unless you're manually moving and deleting kernel images and get confused about which one is which---a case that almost never arises nowadays, and should never arise for the typical desktop user.

Why does Arch use .tar.gz as package files?

As opposed to a tar.gz file with a .pac extension much like a .deb from Debian. I'm just curious...
Arch is a great Distro. It has taken over my desktop... something that hasn't happened since 1999!

Nevermind... I found the official reason here:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/FAQ … _confusing
If possible, I would like to add my vote to the "confusing/long" portion of the above.

/dev/sda for Arch but /dev/hda for custom kernel. Why?

My laptop does not have a scsi or sata hard drive. So why does Arch's kernel view the drive as /dev/sda1 while a custom kernel views it as /dev/hda like it should?

Hmm that does not at all seem like a good explanation.
Drivers/ide suffers from many ugly and obscure problems, and re-implementing it on top of libata has been much easier than fixing the unfixable drivers/ide mess
you don't think fixing broken and ugly code is a good thing? Let me guess, you think sdxX is somehow more ugly then hdxX?
btw, if you use persistent block device naming scheme, you wouldn't need worry about naming conventions. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Per … ice_naming

Why arch is awesome

For some reason or another i have been neglecting my Arch installation for the past year or so. Becoming a digital DJ caused me to focus on windows and mac, and busy with schoolwork, I didn't have much time anymore to tinker around with linux as I used to love doing.
Why is arch awesome?
After booting up my arch installation that probably hasn't ran for about 6 months, I fired up X and instantly ran pacman -Syu (after following the klibc upgrade instructions i saw on the homepage). Everything worked, Nothing broke. A 6 month update executed perfectly.
Here's to a great package manager!

One of the less obvious reasons: the Arch team isn't overstaffed. They just can't afford any technology which is apt to cause trouble. Be really good or step aside; the choce is that simple. Big establishments can afford problems, as everybody knows all too well .

Why does the default install make a partition for boot?

The installer, if one lets it prepare one's hard drive, makes a partition for boot, and formats it as a second extended filesystem. I know that people debate the need for/desirability of a partition for boot, and I do not mean to revive that debate. Rather, I am interested in knowing why the Arch developers, like the developers of some other distributions, such as Gentoo, but unlike some, such as Slackware, call for a boot partition, with ext2fs file system, on a default install. Should Arch users interpret this as a recommendation? Also, why is the partition quite a bit larger (although tiny compared to the available space on hard drives these days) than seems necessary?
Thanks.

I've looked at a couple of books and a fair number of internet posts on this, and I must say that these responses are a good deal more concise and clear than what I have come across. I did find it interesting that the Slackware on-line manual doesn't make any effort to encourage it. On the other hand, what you guys are saying sounds sensible enough.
I have both Arch and Gentoo running, sharing a boot partition, which I set at 50MB. I'm using 25% of it, which is why I ask about size - obviously not in terms of overall capacity, but in terms of need.
Why not a lot less - say, even if one is considering dual boot, 20MB? And where do numbers like 32MB come from (the Arch, and indeed Gentoo, default, also referred to by T-Dawg)? Why not use round numbers?
Does 32MB have some rational/irrational/astrological/lucky 7 connection to 64MB RAM, sort of like designating 128MB as swap instead of using numbers like 120MB or 125MB or 130MB?
As you probably know, in Gentoo this stuff is done on the command line in fdisk, and I found it quite odd to be told in their manual to tell fdisk that the boot partition should be 32MB (assuming a single operating system) and swap should be 256MB, especially since fdisk and my hard drive took these numbers with a grain of salt and conspired to adjust them to slightly different numbers complete with decimals. Arch, on default, does the same.
Then I find out that with two operating systems, I'm using about 13MB out of 50MB (or rather 49.9MB, as fdisk and my hard drive decreed)
To change the subject a bit, I think that it is a good idea that the current version of Arch .08 would create, on the default track, a /home partition. There are some nice ideas in the install dialogue, including in the section on setting up a hard drive.

Is there a way to have AUFS support with latest kernel in Arch repos?

http://aufs.sourceforge.net/ says that linux kernel 3.9 has support for AUFS but then why does Arch doesn't have it enabled in the kernel present in repos?

WonderWoofy wrote:
As Arch provides near vanilla packages, there is nothing to enable. AUFS is not part of the kernel, it is a patch. You can find some AUFS patched kernels in the AUR, and I think linux-pf has it as well.
Otherwise, you can use the unionfs-fuse package in the official repos. But just be aware that because it is a fuse based filesystem, it might not be as fast as you want/expect.
Thanks for bringing it to notice. I thought that it was part of official kernel.
I need to run docker on 3.9 kernel that's why I need it. In 3.8, my laptop has issues with ethernet not being detected after sleep so I don't want to use the package given in AUR.
A guy named timebomb has provided a diff against 3.9 here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aufs3/ . I was just hoping if we could have a PKGBUILD.
In the meantime, I'll try linux-pf kernel. Thanks

Arch Linux 0.7.1 - my feedback

please read the post before vote
Well, I've used Arch linux for many months in late 2004 / early 2005 and then I've switched to Ubuntu...
some days ago I've installed version 0.7.1 and updated it with pacman -Syu
I've seen a lot of improvement since the last time I used it and I was near to think "ok let's switch back to Arch" until I found I that thing I really hate :!: is still here..
You can't install old versions of some packages. For example, kernel.. or.. php (ok there is one in Aur that is maybe "too" old) and mysql..
in the php/mysql example it's true that version 5 is the latest one but they (at least php) still develope the 4.x version for security and many server still have it and also many scripts supports only php4 and 5.
also, as I am a php developer, I need to test scripts with old versions.
but as I said this is just an example. I think that while you can't think to have a big repository of binaries it would be great to be able to install old versions via source.
and recompiling software by hand using old PKGBUILDS is a problem case you don't have a tool that tells you wich packaged were "aligned" with wich.. I mean.. the new php works only with the mysql5 extension so even if you build mysql by yourself it won't work with php.. and so on for apache..
anyway.. if a user is able to block a package and prevent the automatic update he should also be able to use the non-latest version of it.
I know that arch is a bleeding edge distro but this shouldn't mean that you have only the bleeding things. (see gentoo for example)
Another thing that will help a lot in my opinion is to have in the wiki 2 lists:
- one very detailed with available daemons and their use.. for example.. ok.. fam is the file alteration monitor.. but why you need it and wich are the main programs that takes advantage from it and what happens if you doesn't run it? and so on for hal, etc. ..
- one list with all available standard groups that tells user to wich group subscribe in order to be able to performe a specific action
imho this 2 lists will help the (new) user understand better what is doing and why The arch philosophy of "do it yourself and learn doing it" is great but have to be encouraged, and in fact there already is a very good documentation.
Just my 2 cents. And sorry if some one else already said this before; in this case take my post as an underline mark btw.. I'll attach a poll to it.
bye,
Giovanni.

iphitus wrote:To me this thread looks more like "i dont want to make a second package for myself, so let's get the devs to do it".
hmm.. this sounds a bit offenisve to me. Cause I don't actually need that packages as I'm not using Arch as main distro. This post was meant to give a feedback..
iphitus wrote:Especially as there isnt a huge demand for such a package, and you are most likely to be one of a very small minority to use that duplicate package.
ok I agree with this. but from my point of view it is because users that needed it too already switched to another distro..
and this leads us to this:
tomk wrote:I voted "No, there is no need", because I think this is simply an indication that Arch is not the right distro for you - it doesn't meet your requirements.
Imho, the point is that Arch have a lot of great features. The one I'd like to have is a feature that I think will just increase the number of great features Arch already have and will make Arch the right distro for more users. So users that switch to another distro will lose a lot of features that they like to get one or two that they need..
tomk wrote:This "thing that you really hate" is still there because firstly the Arch devs, and secondly Arch users, have not needed to change it. If you want to work "from within" to change that, with polls like this, feature requests, etc, I wish you the best of luck, but I think your poll result so far should tell you something about the support you can expect.
the poll was mainly for myself to get an idea of the users opinion not to change the things. And as I said it is not a change from my point of view, but just a new feature. About Arch devs I agree but about users I don't.. how you can say it if you say to me that I should change distro? In this way people that thinks like me will always remain a minority in arch community. And I don't think that having a old version of a "core" package would be against the Arch philosophy.
tomk wrote:Finally a general point, and this applies to wiki entries as well - you will get a better response if you do something, and then ask "what do you think?" instead of asking "Why doesn't Arch do this?"
I did it for the software thing with the poll and anyway also for the wiki I didn't wrote it but I thought it was clear.. For the wiki I posted my idea and there was no need for the question "what do you think" cause is a discussion forum Also please keep in mind that I wrote the original post in late night and that I'm italian so my english isn't so good :oops:
anyway.. thanks for the tip about subit a feature request and for your answers.
bye,

Popularity Trends report always returns zero

Hello,
I have a SharePoint installed on “Windows server 2008 -R2”.
I have a SQL Data base installed on the same machine.
I create a new web application with port “2020”. Then I create w new site collection “Publishing”.
I activate the feature “Reporting” in the site collection level.
I Open central admin “Monitoring >> Configure usage and health data collection”. I checked “Enable usage data collection” Check box. And I Checked All “Events to Log” check boxes.
I have configures the following services applications :
-Business Connectivity Service
-Excel Services Application
-Search Service Application
-Security Token Service Application
-Application Discovery and Load Balancer Service Application
-WSS_UsageApplication.
I run the crawl search. And it is completed successfully.
The search service account is member of “WSS_WPG” group.
I have checked the following values from SharePoint PowerShell:
AppEventTypeId          : 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

IsReadOnly                  : False
I open the “default.aspx” page on the portal (I have opened it more than 10 times in different browser window).
Next day I open “popularity Trends” report, I found that it returns zero.
I open the “Analytics Report” data base. Then I open “AnalyticsItemData” table. There are already items in the table.
So I need to know why the “popularity Trends” excel sheet report returns zeros all the time.
ASk

Hi,
According to your description, the popularity Trends report always returns no records.
Please check the status of the 3 timer jobs: Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Usage Data Import, Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Usage Data Processing and Web Analytics
Trigger Workflows to see if they are configured to run at regular intervals.
Also you can take a look at the two links about the similar issue for more information:

Has something changed in the Arch Installation?

I've seem to run across a few things when I install Arch now. I've installed Arch many times on the exact same computer with the exact same hardware but I'm experiencing some issues. I always use the FTP install.
First, I have no colors anymore when I edit anything in nano (after the installation). Why is that? All i have is a completely fresh install, but no colors. That never used to happen. I haven't changed anything.
Second, even though I select during the install which mirror i would like to keep as my 1st mirror, pacman -Syu will not work. I have to go into into the mirrorlist file and uncomment a mirror. Now that is not a problem at all, but why has that changed?
On top of those things, I have problems now getting GDM to load my xfce4 session, and even without GDM, I can only load xfce4 thru the root login, not my own, and when I install ttf-ms-fonts, i get a error that says the package has different permissions than the /tmp directory, which has never happened before. I think the GDM thing is also a permissions problem for some reason.
But why oh why has Arch changed on me?! Help!

Performance issues: why is it not as fast as it should /could be?

hello,
i am an experienced unix/linux user since '98 looking for a new linux distro to install on my shining new Dell precision M65 notebook (2gb ram, dual core, 7200rpm, etc.) and Dell optiplex gx270 pc and i want it to be as fast as it can be.
I really WANT it to be Arch, i love the idea of arch, the basic install, the only get what you need, pacman is nearly as good as apt-get, it boots Really fast, kdemod is cool, the rolling system is awesome ......
.... BUT why is Arch so relatively slow?
i installed the following:
the duke base install
kdemod
kdm
powersaved
ifplugd
xorg
ipw3945d
firefox/thunderbird
pidgin
nvidia-glx
that is all, really.
i was expecting a basic setup like that to be really lightweight and fast but the average load is +1 with X, powersaved (14%), hald(8%), dbus(9%), and i have a lot of lag. windows drag when moving and firefox startup takes seconds. only booting is Really fast (<30seconds). I am using the nvidia driver but no composite.
I have also tried the full blown bloated sabayon on my latop and even with all the apps, all the bling and compiz enabled by default it is FASTER then my lovable Arch install (a idle load of 0.02 but i just hate emerge/portage/source stuff), I installed Pardus 2007.02 on my desktop for my wife (everything works out of the box and look familiar) and even on the older pc the load is just 0.06 idle and max 0.8 working.
What is going on here. I want to stick with Arch, but this seems really akward to me, why could my system be using all that memory / cpu while doing nothing, no compiz, just firefox and thunderbird.
any insight would be very welcome, there are no errors in the /var/log/* files and only sound and hibernation are not working yet.
thanks,
stefan

hi there all,
i don't know if it is anything to to with X. I did find out that if I leave my pc idle for long enough (+30 mins) that the load will settle down to around 0.06, but as soon as I start using it it flies back up.
booting and shutting down is really fast though. Another thing I noticed is that with using the nvidia driver that i get occasional (one a minute) random "flickers" across my screen, where it turns slightly black or trembles the screen for a milisecond.
with nvidia-glx i just meant the latest official nvidia drivers (not nv) that i got by "pacman -Sy nvidia"

[SOLVED] Windows 8 made all my arch partition unallocated space

Hi, I've been using arch for the past 8 months without any problem. I used to have win 7 and fedora on my laptop also.I used the bootloader from fedora to boot arch. Yesterday I decided to replace win7 with win8. After playing around with it, it was time to return to my arch, so I grabbed a live cd and booted, chrooted to my fedora and reinstalled grub. Everything fine but when I rebooted and selected Arch to start I got error that the partition doesn't exist. I booted into fedora and really, gparted shows all my 3 arch partitions as unallocated space. Why only arch has been deleted, and is there a way to save it somehow? I don't know the exact size of the previous partitions. Thanks

fdisk seems to find the partition table correctly, but I will not try to write it to the disk since it is now working. Im gonna buy a USB Hard drive and move everything important there first, then I will experiment Thank you for your help

My USB mouse can not use in kernel2.6.9-ARCH

my Microsoft wheel Optical USB mouse works well in arch0.6 (with kernel2.6.3), but after I update kernel to 2.6.9-ARCH, my mouse device can not works. The red LED have no light.
But when I install kernel2.6.9 which compile by myself, the mouse works well.
Why?

arch kernel 2.6.9 got no built in usb support,
you have to load the modules yourself or use hotplug,
if you compile your own kernel you can compile it with built in usb and your mouse will work witout doing anything more,

Why /opt? and does it matter?

I'm just wondering why many Arch packages by default are installed in the /opt directory. I'm just not use to it yet, but are there any real reasons as to why?
Is it to make it easier to know what you've installed? Like making them seperate from the base install?
I found this quote from a review at linuxquestions.org
A few issues that could be a negative is that while a benefit, it can also be a problem with installing everything in /opt. This causes the bin directory to be out of the PATH, so you need to constantly edit the path to include the new installed package bin directory. If done carelessly, this can be a security issue.
I'm coming from a Slackware background and I'm use to everything (most) being installed under /usr...etc.'
Anyway, just wondering.
Thanks for reading.

oops, sorry . I did however try looking and well I didn't really get the answer I was looking for.
Time to let it die.
PS: My bad

Why is Arch trending up?
