by _saiko 13 Dec '07

Hi all actually i noticed this problem since the beginning as i installed arch whatever key i use for binding xfc4-popup-menu there are problems. Problems when like... the menu opens only after.. 10-20 keypresses sometimes it doesn't interestingly enough when firefox is maximised then the menu appears after i press the key i binded for like... 3 times and i noticed that i tried both xbindkeys and xfce integrated key binder same result i use -Syu regularly also noticed that Xorg process gets to eat like.. 7% cpu when i hit the binded key repeatedly (and the menu doesn't open) when the key is not binded repeated hiting it doesn't have any impact on Xorg process it's a really bizarre thing all other bindings work flawlessly also when i reassign the keys that are binded to xfce4-popup-menu they work too... Also don't know where to look for some output Xorg logs don't show anything weird :/ hope somebody helps me out

[arch-general] Change kernel version or module dir at bootprompt?
by Gerhard Brauer 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hello, i've searched a while and found nothing. And AFAIK there isnt't an chance to do this. But maybe one of you know a trick, a magic... Is it possible to change either the kernel version (what uname -r says) or the location of the kernel modul dir at boottime? I think about an easy solution to backup an arch kernel with it's modules. But since the kernel version is fix and releated to the module dir one could not simply copy /lib/modules/foo.bar to ex. /lib/modules/foo.bar-backup. Anyone knows a trick?

[arch-general] Encrypted swap and suspend-to-disk
by Felix Leckow 01 Dec '07

01 Dec '07

Hi, I just did a fresh Arch install with encrypted /, /home, and swap partitions, following the LUKS Encrypted Root[1] how-to in the wiki. I have trouble getting suspend-to-disk (using uswsusp[2] from AUR) to work: creating the suspend image works fine, but I can't resume for the simple reason that the encrypted swap that contains the image gets unlocked *after* suspend tries (and fails) to read from it. Is there any way to get this to work properly? Should I file a bug report, and if so against which package?

[arch-general] Mailing list rename
by Aaron Griffin 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Hey guys, You may have noticed a new address up there in the From line (unless you got this via the announce list) The main mailing list has been renamed, from "arch" to "arch-general", and additionally "tur-users" has been renamed to "aur-general". The reason? The naming was unclear, especially on the tur-users list. So, please try to use this address when posting to the list (the old address will work fine for now, but I can't predict how long). Additionally, I have kept archive symlinks so that the following two are the same: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/ http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch/ Sorry for all of you that have to update your mail filter rules, but it's better this way - I promise 8) Thanks, Aaron

[arch-general] Old version of gnome-system-tools in [unstable]
by Hugo Doria 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Hi, There is a very old version of gnome-system-tools (and system-tools-backends) package in [unstable]. A newer one is already available in [community]. Would it not be better to remove the older one? What would be the procedure to do that? I tried to contact the packager but i got no response so far. Thanks. -- []'s Hugo Doria http://hdoria.archlinux-br.org GNU/Linux user #359340 - http://counter.li.org

[arch-general] Removing ssmtp and nbsmtp
by Aaron Griffin 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Just a quick question for all of you guys. Does anyone use ssmtp or nbsmtp? They are both in extra, along with msmtp, and it seems like quite a lot of duplication. So based on developer usage, we're most likely going to boot ssmtp and nbsmtp. Does anyone have a problem with that? They *will* be moved to the AUR and can be move to community if any TU wants them. Opinions?
