27 Apr '09

Hello, I'm trying to set AccelMethod as UXA in xorg.conf by using: Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" Driver "intel" EndSection (I have intel legacy driver installed, by the way.)

[arch-general] howto set [backspace] for previous page for man pages and less?
by David C. Rankin 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

Listmates, I am trying to find the [backspace] key definition so I can change it to make the backspace key function as the key for [previous page] in both less and for man pages. Does any body know where Arch sets this? Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] howto: turn of button font underline on focus in kde3?
by David C. Rankin 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

Listmates, I must be blind in one eye and can't see out of the other because I have picked through every kde control center setting, every domino setting, every polyester setting and every konqueror setting and I still can't find out how to turn off the button text underline in kde3 on arch. The button text underline appears everywhere from the kdm greeter throughout your entire session anytime there is a button that has the focus -- the font underlines itself. I want it gone... The needle is buried somewhere in the haystack, but for the life of me I can't find it. Can anybody throw and old man a bone and help him out? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

If glibc is installed in a chroot and don't have sysvinit package, because isn't needed, when glibc is upgrading will show a warning about can't execute init, so you can replace this line with a "[ -x /sbin/init ] && /sbin/init u" ?

[arch-general] Done! Website move to 1st Archlinux Box
by David C. Rankin 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

Guys, Thanks for all of your help. My first Arch install and server config is almost 100% complete (some server apps still remain, but that's just install time) Archlinux works like a champ. It is a great, lightweight, full featured distribution. In case any other Arch user is looking to do a full apache2 install with SSL, PHP & MySQL support, the LAMP wiki page will get you going. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LAMP. PHP and MySQL support comes from nothing more than making sure the module include statements in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf are active as detailed in the LAMP page. The only trick there is that for some reason the php object module isn't included in the default httpd.conf file so you need to add the following to the end of the LoadModule list: LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so Secure http (https) support takes a little more. The simple part of SSL setup, as with PHP and MySQL, is just making sure the shared object module is loaded in etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so Usually the more challenging part of secure http setup is generating the server keys and certificates that apache will use to offer ssl support. To make this easier, I have created a script to automate this process and install the server key, certificate and signing request under /etc/httpd/certs. You can grab a copy of the script at: http://archangel.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/apache2/apache-ssl-Arch (don't panic if it is temporarily not available as I am still moving servers around and will normally have it back up in 20 minutes or so) After download, if you want to generate your server keys automatically **edit** the script variables: COUNTRY=US STATE=Texas LOCAL=Nacogdoches ON="Rankin Law Firm, PLLC" OU=Attorneys EMAIL=help(a)3111skyline.com or you will end up with a server certificate that contains my defaults. Once you make the changes, just run the script as root like: apache-ssl-Arch <CN> where <CN> is just the 'Common Name' (usually your FQDN for your server). If you omit the CN, you will be prompted. If you just want to gen the keys, request and cetrificate manually, you can always just cut and paste the commands from the script. In addition to the script, I also put my httpd.conf and httpd-ssl.conf (both without comments) on the site if anybody wants to reference them for the changes required: http://archangel.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/apache2/httpd.conf http://archangel.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/apache2/httpd-ssl.conf Lastly, I spun up what I think is a cool Archlinux footer image based on one of the images in /usr/share/arch-artwork/. If you like it -- take it. http://archangel.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/apache2/ArchFooter-smal… That's it, thanks to all for helping me learn Arch! (I guess that should be 'learn enough to get running') We all know, the learning is never really done;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] libsoup 2.26.0-1 dependencies in [testing]
by JM 26 Apr '09

26 Apr '09

Hello, I noticed that libsoup in [testing] depends on gconf, is that really necessary? Libsoup is a dependency for some desktop-agnostic applications such as Midori (through its dependency on libwebkit) or hardinfo (currently in AUR). Regards, JM

Hi there, today when I tried to unmount a thumbdrive in thunar I got an error message about missing libnotify. It worked after I installed it. Did I do something wrong or is it just missing in the optdepends array? Regards, Philipp
