Should this be done differently? Personally I have no issue with this, and it's beneficial to me.

[arch-general] KDE, Bluetooth and Wifi
by Manne Merak 27 May '09

27 May '09

So, I am new here, just installed ArchLinux on my work laptop. Had some issues with getting X and KDE4 up, but all fine now. KDE4 is different, I can see why some people dislike it - still needs that polished feeling that 3.5 had, but hey that will come with time. My biggest concern at the moment is Bluetooth mouse and Wifi. KBluetooth looses my mouse, randomly, and there is no KNetworkManager (well a finished one) at the moment. So my question, what does the ArchLinux KDE community use for Bluetooth and Wifi management. (I can fiddle round with bluez and wpa_supplicant config files, but would rather use some higher level config util) Manne ps. I come from the OpenSUSE world, so excuse my desire for management tools.

[arch-general] libarchive - bsdtar producing weird archives?
by Michael Towers 27 May '09

27 May '09

The result of a makepkg run produced what looked like a totally garbled package, when viewed in mc's virtual file system. That led me to investigate a bit, so I tried packing up a few directories with bsdtar and sometimes got similarly garbled results. However, unpacking worked completely normally, as also did viewing the archives in xarchiver or squeeze. If I use tar instead of bsdtar to do the packing, they appear normally in mc. Does anyone know what's going on here? Is it mc that is getting something wrong, or bsdtar?
