[arch-general] System tools SMBConfig not running properly
by Will Siddall 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Hey, I just ran a system update this morning which updated all of the new GNOME updates and some arch updates. The issue now is that after I restart, I find that the SystemBackendTools.pl script (especially for '-m SMBConfig') is running at full capacity. It also keeps opening a new loading window almost every second so that I can't see my running windows in the task panel anymore. Anyone know about this, or what could be causing it? Thanks, Will

Hi, just did a pacman -Syu and one of the packages gives an error on install but still seems to install. Is this error harmless and ok to ignore? System is x86_64.

[arch-general] archlinux on twitter

Does anyone know who owns the twitter archlinux account at: http://twitter.com/archlinux Just asking, since it would be useful to post library transitions and big updates (like today's GNOME transition) to twitter so that it's easier for users to stay informed. -- Abhishek
