Hey there. I was just browsing the bug tracker and I noticed some open bug reports: 7 reported in 0.7 Wombat 10 reported in 0.7.1 Noodle 58 reported in 0.7.2 Gimmick 18 reported in 0.8 Voodoo Anyways I have some questions about bugs and such: Are there any reasons that these bugs have not resolved yet? Is anyone in charge of getting bugs closed? If a bug has no response from the dev and I've emailed them directly with still no response who can I appeal to? I'd love to help but obviously patches can't apply, update the bug tracker, and upload new packages by themselves. Please let me know if I can do anything to help get things done. Thanks & Cheers.

[arch-general] Multiple sound cards
by Stephen Wilkinson 17 May '08

17 May '08

Hello All, I use two sound cards in my computer: * the on-board card (VIA 8237 chipset) * a SBLive! PCI card Until Kernel 2.6.23-ARCH I was able to use either card, in KMix and Skype for instance. But from Kernel 2.6.24-ARCH, only one card appears in KMix and Skype. Back when the two cards worked, I loaded the modules in rc.conf with: MODULES=(snd_emu10k1 snd_via82xx) to ensure that SBLive! (which uses snd_emu10k1) would be the default card, while the on-board card could be used for Skype. Now, even when snd_via82xx is first, only the SBLive! card is detected. I checked what cards were being detected with lspci: * with Kernel 2.6.23-ARCH I get: 00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 08) 00:06.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Live! Game Port (rev 08) and 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60) * but with Kernel 2.6.24-ARCH I get: 00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 08) 00:06.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Live! Game Port (rev 08) (The full output of lspci is at the bottom of the e-mail) I checked that snd_via82xx module is loaded with lsmod. But in Kernel 2.6.24-ARCH there is only one dsp in /dev. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this may have stopped working in moving from 2.6.23 to 2.6.24? Is it no longer possible to run two sound cards together? I have put the full output of: lspci ls /dev/dsp* ls /proc/asound at the bottom of this e-mail for information. Thanks, Steve To try and understand what's changed, I compared the output of lspci, ls /dev/dsp* and ls /proc/asound when running each kernel. The results are below: * I rolled back to 2.6.23-ARCH, rebooted and checked the following: - ls /dev/dsp* outputs: dsp and dsp1 (symlinks to /dev/sound/dsp and dsp1) - ls /proc/asound outputs: VIA 8237 (symlinked to card1) and Live (symlinked to card0) - lspci outputs: 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.

[arch-general] Fw: problem with gcc and __unused function attribute

But I wonder how it is compiled on DragonFly because they use gcc4.1? It doesn't greatly matter. I will ask when I am sending patches upstream. Kind regards, Michael Krauss

[arch-general] problem with gcc and __unused function attribute
by Michael Krauss 17 May '08

17 May '08

Hello, dma is now running on Arch Linux but I found one odd thing: There is this function in net.c: static void sig_alarm(int signo __unused) { longjmp(timeout_alarm, 1); } ggc can't handle the __unused attribute: [mickraus@gandalf dma]\$ LANG=us gcc -DHAVE_CRYPTO -o dma dma.c conf.c crypto.c lex.yy.c y.tab.c net.c base64.c -lssl net.c:68: error: expected ';', ',' or ')' before '__unused' net.c: In function 'read_remote': net.c:105: error: 'sig_alarm' undeclared (first use in this function) net.c:105: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once net.c:105: error: for each function it appears in.) After removing the attribute everything works. But in the gcc manual exactly this attribute is listed: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.3.0/gcc/Function-Attributes.html The original net.c file can be found here: http://opengrok.creo.hu/dragonfly/xref/src/libexec/dma/net.c To compile it on linux you have to include two additional headers: #ifdef __linux #include <stdarg.h> #include <err.h> #endif /* __linux */ Is there a compiler switch that I have overlooked? Kind Regards Michael Krauss

[arch-general] Suggesting new PKGBUILD*.proto
by Geoffroy Carrier 17 May '08

17 May '08

Hi! I made "cosmetic" changes on PKGBUILD*.proto Please see https://github.com/gcarrier/gkarch/tree/master/misc/usr_share_pacman For you information, and to ease discussion around it, here's the README: Changes I made affect both "pacman" and "abs" packages. Assumptions: - $startdir should be used as $srcdir and $pkgdir parent, as it could be useful, for example, to have $pkgdir in a tmpfs => Removed any reference to "$startdir/pkg" or "$startdir/src" => Relative paths to switch between $srcdir and $pkgdir should be avoided. E.g.: cd $srcdir/A patch [...] < ../../pkg/ is non-sense - $pkgdir and $srcdir could contain namespaces, etc. and we shouldn't try to guess about $IFS => "$srcdir/A" instead of $srcdir/A (use of "") - Still, lightweight means smater => Don't use "$_svntrunk" ${something} instead of $_svntrunk $something - "folder" is prefered to "folder/" in our scripts, but we should not suppose a makefile doesn't use something like "${DESTDIR}usr/bin" => DESTDIR="$pkgdir/", "$pkgdir" otherwise Best regards, -- Geoffroy Carrier

It seems to me like that should be an explicit dependency for cups; is there a scenario where you could print from cups without ghostscript? I also think its interesting that cups didn't say anything about "gs" failing to run except in the "debug" log level, and the failure certainly wasn't considered fatal, even though it really was. -- Ryan W Sims

[arch-general] Problem installing webcam
by Mordechai Peller 15 May '08

Hi, I'm trying to install a sn9c201 webcam, but I can't find any drivers. On the wiki, the sn9c102 driver is listed, but not the 201. dmesg only listed the following: usb 5-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 42 usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice The device only came with (Linux) drivers for Fedora Core 4. Thanks.

[arch-general] Postgres failure after system upgrade
by richard terry 15 May '08

15 May '08

Yesterday upgraded my system which happened to include I think from memory as well as postgres 8.3 , php. Not a technical person unfortunately, but my postgres has died with the message below. I wonder if some kind soul could give me some help in tracking down the problem. I've tried looking at the below mentioned files and can't see anything wrong . Perhaps something got overwritten? An help appreciated. Richard The server doesn't accept connections: the connection library reports could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? If you encounter this message, please check if the server you're trying to contact is actually running PostgreSQL on the given port. Test if you have network connectivity from your client to the server host using ping or equivalent tools. Is your network / VPN / SSH tunnel / firewall configured correctly? For security reasons, PostgreSQL does not listen on all available IP addresses on the server machine initially. In order to access the server over the network, you need to enable listening on the address first. For PostgreSQL servers starting with version 8.0, this is controlled using the "listen_addresses" parameter in the postgresql.conf file. Here, you can enter a list of IP addresses the server should listen on, or simply use '*' to listen on all available IP addresses. For earlier servers (Version 7.3 or 7.4), you'll need to set the "tcpip_socket" parameter to 'true'. You can use the postgresql.conf editor that is built into pgAdmin III to edit the postgresql.conf configuration file. After changing this file, you need to restart the server process to make the setting effective. If you double-checked your configuration but still get this error message, it's still unlikely that you encounter a fatal PostgreSQL misbehaviour. You probably have some low level network connectivity problems (e.g. firewall configuration). Please check this thoroughly before reporting a bug to the PostgreSQL community.
