[arch-general] problem with guidance power manager
by Shridhar Daithankar 05 Nov '08

05 Nov '08

Hello , I don't know where to put this but since it has cause a concerning problem, I am putting up a mailing list post for archives. Desparately in search for KDE4 laptop suspend, today I landed with guidance- package-manager. It pulled python-2.6 along with dbus-python, sip and pyqt (which is ok). Problem began when every other program including guidance-power-manager itself and mercurial(my bread-and-butter for development) started crying about missing libpython2.5.so.1.0. I had to chuck out dbus-python, sip,pyqt and guidance-power-manager and "upgrade" to python 2.5 from /var/cache/pacman/pkg to get sanity back. I think python 2.6 package has problem but am not sure. Any comments? -- Shridhar

[arch-general] nxserver issue
by Sergey Manucharian 05 Nov '08

Hi folks, After the yesterday server's system update I cannot connect to that server anymore using nxclient. After the dialog box shows: Establish the display connection a window with !m logo appears for a second and disappears without any message. I looked into files at the server side: /var/log/nxserver.log - is empty, /opt/NX/var/db/closed/sessionIDxxxx - the status is "Finished" and no sessions in /opt/NX/var/db/failed Of course I checked that I can easily connect to another (not updated) yet server. By the way, I use non-standard port 2730 instead of 22. Thanks for ideas. Sergey
