11 Feb '09

I ran the command, pacman -S xorg , and it tells me that it is not found. It then asks if I want to install the whole group, which consists of around 10 xorg and xf86 packages. Thanks for any help.

[arch-general] lxc containers in kernel
by Shridhar Daithankar 10 Feb '09

10 Feb '09

Hello, lxc containers(krb5_get_init_creds_password) will be the first mainline containers to offer functionality similar to solaris zones. They aim to go mainline completely in 2.6.29 and lot of code is already is place. See http://lxc.sourceforge.net/lxc.html. Although lot of functionality is already in the current kernel, the options are not configured. $ zgrep -i namespace /proc/config.gz CONFIG_NAMESPACES=y $ uname -a Linux presario 2.6.28-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jan 25 09:43:53 UTC 2009 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-57 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux Will it be possible to add relevant kernel options? There are userspace tools available as well, which could go in another package. Is this the right way to ask for new functionality or a new ticket is required? -- Shridhar

I'll test further for some shortcomings with the new ruby. -- Gruß, Johannes Täglich http://blog.hehejo.de und du fühlst dich gut. http://cryptocd.eduforge.org/online_version

Re: [arch-general] new here and need some help, please...

You shouldn't really have to mess with that file. Your repository list is kept in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. Maybe you could explain a bit more of what environment in particular you want. ----- Original message ----- Hi, I am very new to AL. I heard about it today and just finished the basic installation. Now, I am ready to get to the GUI. The problem I am having is where to find the repositories for the /etc/pacman.conf file? It would be helpful if someone explained how to place the repos in the .conf file? I am using the Beginners Guide, and am starting to have a little trouble. Thanks, Preston
