[arch-general] [arch-general@archlinux.org] Midori + sun jre plugin
by Javier Vasquez 06 Dec '08

06 Dec '08

Hi, Does anyone know how to enable sun jre plugin within midori. Midori actually recognizes the flash plugin pretty well, but I can't get it to work on web pages requiring jre... I'm liking midori because of being lighter than seamonkey on my box, but I miss jre support... I was looking for a midori distribution list, but found none, so I was hoping someone under arch-general would know, :) Thanks, -- Javier

[arch-general] state of archiso?
by Chris Brannon 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

I may have found an issue with the archiso scripts. The hooks /lib/initcpio/hooks/boot-cd and /lib/initcpio/hooks/boot-usb call on /sbin/udevsettle and /sbin/udevtrigger, but those binaries no longer exist. -- Chris

[arch-general] problems with ivman? hal? pmount?
by Ryan Sims 05 Dec '08

05 Dec '08

I'm working on switching from KDE to openbox, and I'm playing around with ivman automounting. After reading the wiki page[1] & following the instructions, I find that I still can't get USB devices to automount as a user. I can run ivman as a daemon, and it automounts just fine, except that it creates the mount points as root:root, so I can't access them. If I run ivman as a user, nothing gets automounted. When I run ivman -d, or when I run a pmount-hal '/path/listed/in/ivman/debug/output' I get a lot of these messages: process 17673: The last reference on a connection was dropped without closing the connection. This is a bug in an application. See dbus_connection_unref() documentation for details. Most likely, the application was supposed to call dbus_connection_close(), since this is a private connection. D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace Any help? [1]http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ivman PS. I've also been exploring automounting with udev, but I run into the same permissions problem with pmount: users can't access the file. I would also welcome advice in this direction, if anyone's interested. -- Ryan W Sims

[arch-general] pm-utils not working
by Sentinel 04 Dec '08

Hellou, I tried to look for somebody with a similar problem on the arch forum, but with no success, that is why I'm writing here. After a recent upgrade when a click on the shutdown menu in gnome the hibernate and suspend buttons are no longer present. If I try to suspend or hibernate from console it has no effect. My /var/log/pm-powersave.log and pm-suspend.log are attached to this mail. Any idea what went wrong? Thanks! Tom /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/sched-powersave false: **sched policy powersave OFF success.

I think, mostly with testing but i'm sure i have some ideas too. It is ok to check out the named git repos or could you give/setup a more complete test enviroment? Gerhard

[arch-general] The future of bluetooth in ArchLinux
by Damjan Georgievski 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

As you might now, the bluetooth packages in Arch are not activelly maintained so the main developers were looking for help. I've expressed my readiness to help in any way I can, but I'd also like suggestions and help from other people here. So, I've created a git repository for bluetooth related PKGBUILDs http://damjan.softver.org.mk:8080/git/arch-bluetooth.git you can browse that repo to see the files there. The PKGBUILDs need a bit of updateing with the dependancies and descriptions IMHO. The dependencies are: * bluez is the base package it depends on dbus-core and glib * openobex * bluez-obexd is a a dbus service that implements obex push server and client and also ObexFTP afaik.. as a dbus service it can't be used on its own, but is used by some other application which brings us to... * bluez-gnome is a gnome applet, and some other gnome tools that with the help of obexd imlement all the interesting stuff you can do with bluetooth (pairing, sending files (object push), browseing for devices) All of the above programs and libraries are maintained by the Bluez project (www.bluez.org). Some additional packages are bluez-hcidump used for debuging (depends on bluez) and bluez-firmware needed for same rare devices (and really doesn't depend on anything). Next what I have there are python-pybluez and python-lightblue (depends on the publuez and openobex) which are two python libraries for working with bluetooth.. the second offering some higher level functionality. Finally there's kdebluetooth which although compiles fine with bluez-4.21 I don't think it actually works? The help I'd like would be: to define a TODO for bluetooth, helping with finding some patches that might be needed and any testing would be helpfull. I currently don't use Gnome or even KDE4 much (I use some KDE4 apps in awesome). I also can't build x86_64 yet. -- damjan

I think HWD is full of bugs and several times I was running in some problems with HWD. If you guys can't fix it, don't provide it. Anyway HWD is not maintained anymore.
