[arch-general] digikam beta4 and gcc 4.3.0
by waldek 14 May '08

14 May '08

Hi, first of all I'm out of my depth here so be gentle, I was trying to compile digicam beta4 and the compilation process hangs. I found this thread that describes it: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.digikam.user/7917 the answer in digikam forum was: "I have reported this problem to CImg author (David Tschumperlé). After investiguations, he said than all come from an uncompatibilty with gcc 4.3.0 and CImg code. Note than using Gcc 4.2.3 digiKam compile fine." so I asked on CImg forums: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=2036591&forum_id=423277 and the reply was: "Anyway, this is not a bug related to CImg or GREYCstoration, since it compiles fine if you don't set the optimizations with g++ 4.3.0. Also it compiles fine with older versions of g++ (4.2.3 for instance). I suspect some bugs in the compiler optimization procedure which causes the process to hang. I admit this is very annoying, but I can't do anything to solve it, since it is clearly a problem related to the compiler." could somebody take a look at it? What do you think? Cheers waldek

Thanks to Pierre, we have filelists for all packages at http://dev.archlinux.org/~pierre/test-repo/ [1] I made a small script which downloads the *gz from his repo and allows one to find out which package has a particular file: #!/bin/bash store="$HOME/.local/share/pac-file" # default location repos=(core extra community) a=$(uname -m) url="http://dev.archlinux.org/~pierre/test-repo" if [ -f $HOME/.config/pac-file.conf ];then . $HOME/.config/pac-file.conf fi case $1 in sync) echo "synchronising file cache" cd $store for i in ${repos[@]} do rm files.db.tar.gz rm -rf $i; mkdir $i wget $url/$i/os/$a/files.db.tar.gz tar zxf files.db.tar.gz -C ./$i done echo "sync complete." ;; search) cd $store grep -R $2 . | sed "s/\.\/$.*$\/files:/\1 /g" ;; *) echo "usage: $0 {sync|search}" esac exit 0 Thanks Pierre!

Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] policy on desktop files?
by Grigorios Bouzakis 14 May '08

Hi, i wanted to note that there is http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Desktop_Project maintained by bardo a TU, which mentions absolutely nothing about upstream. Instead it says "I (bardo) will write/modify the necessary files and notify the corresponding maintainers so they can be added to the packages." Additionally there are links to the bug tracker. I have no idea if bardo submitts them upstream as well but i doubt it. Greg

[arch-general] keyboard indicator lights not working
by Scott Weisman 13 May '08

Hello, At some point, the keyboard indicator lights stopped working. I know they aren't broken (and I've even used three separate keyboards). They used to work, but stopped at some point, but I don't remember when. Does anyone have any suggestion for this? Thanks, Scott

by gan lu 11 May '08

11 May '08

Do your great devs plan to add support of background running capability (adding @ like in the rc.conf daemon section) for netcfg2 (net-profile), I have set a ethernet-static and adsl internet connection when booting up, but if adsl got some trouble to connect, which makes my computer waiting for it like ages. Thanks.

[arch-general] Compiling my own kernel: IDE, SATA...
by Carotinho 10 May '08

10 May '08

Hi! I'm sure this is an already answered question, but the problem is that I don't know which could be the question whose answer I'm in need of:) After this prologue, the problem is: The currently running system, with the Arch-supplied 2.6.24 kernel, has the disk devices all mapped to a /dev/sd* scheme, even if 3 are IDE and another is SATA. When I compile myself the kernel, I get the "traditional" /dev/hd* scheme, which is in contrast with the content of /etc/fstab. The main question is: how can I obtain the "right" behaviour from my own compiled kernel? Is this due to some misconfiguration of the kernel at compile-time, or is it obtained through some other kind of magic? The real problem here is that I cannot give a name to this problem, hence being unable to search for it!:) I've always used a Slack system with traditional disk mapping, it's the first time I come across this problem:) Thanks in advance!

[arch-general] pacman changes libcrypt.so.1 symlink
by Lukáš Jirkovský 08 May '08

08 May '08

Hi I don't know if it's bug or feature, but it makes me crazy. It begun probably after some pacman upgrade. I'm using blowfish passwords with my archlinux, so my /lib/libcrypt.so.1 points to libxcrypt.so.1 instead of libcrypt-2.7.so from glibc. In my pacman.conf I have NoExtract = lib/libcrypt.so.1. But even though I've made this arrangements everytime when I run pacman -S some_interesting_package (it doesn't have to be glibc, eg libpng is enough) the link gets changed. Any suggestions? Best regards, Lukas '6xx' Jirkovsky
