[arch-general] hal has lost its mind again.
by David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. 21 May '09

21 May '09

Listmates, On my laptop, automounting of usb drives and mmc/sd cards were working fine, now I get the "...mount.removable no <-- (action, result)" Full error dialog: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/bugs/hal-mount.removable.jpg The system configures the drives or cards just fine, it just will not create the directory under /media to allow access. It is really ironic because the drives/cards are fully accessible under "media:/". So, nothing in "/media", but OK in "media:/". I am concerned that changes made in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/20-ntfs-config-write-policy.fdi to allow NTFS mounts messed something else up. The file contains: <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="volume.fstype" string="ntfs"> <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.hotpluggable" bool="true"> <merge key="volume.fstype" type="string">ntfs-3g</merge> <merge key="volume.policy.mount_filesystem" type="string">ntfs-3g</merge> </match> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> which is straight from the wiki. The everything log contains the following: May 17 02:50:23 alchemy kernel: tifm_core: MMC/SD card detected in socket 0:1 May 17 02:50:23 alchemy kernel: mmc1: new SD card at address e624 May 17 02:50:23 alchemy kernel: isa bounce pool size: 16 pages May 17 02:50:23 alchemy kernel: mmcblk0: mmc1:e624 SD02G 1.89 GiB May 17 02:50:23 alchemy kernel: mmcblk0: p1 May 17 02:55:20 alchemy hald: mounted /dev/mmcblk0p1 on behalf of uid 0 May 17 03:06:54 alchemy kernel: ACPI: EC: missing confirmations, switch off interrupt mode. I don't know if the ACPI kernel message is evidence of the problem, but I included it just in case. I am slowly trying to make friends with hal/dbus, but I could use any help you can give in sorting this out. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Arch Linux on Go-OO download page?
by Ondřej Kučera 21 May '09

21 May '09

Hello, a couple of Linux distributions are mentioned at http://go-oo.org/download/ with a short info about how to install it. However, Arch Linux is not among them. I expect that if someone wrote them that Arch Linux has Go-OO in its repository as well, they'd be willing to add that message there. I'd write them myself but I suppose it would be better if it was done by someone "more official" (e. g. a developer). Opinions? Ondřej -- Cheers, Ondřej Kučera

[arch-general] kde dark themes
by David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. 21 May '09

21 May '09

kdeusers, If you haven't tried a dark theme for your kde desktop yet, you are missing out on some really cool looks. I toyed with dark themes over the years, but never really found one that worked. After being inspired to try again by senior Rosenstrauch posted one to the list, I took another look and came up with something I really like. It consists of color-themes for kde, emerald, and kate/kwrite. Other than that you just need to change the foreground color for konqueror and any of your web browsers, etc. I'll just post the links to the themes since you can't post it all here. Give it a shot, I bet you will like it. Small screenshots of the desktop theme and kicker background: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/kde/screenshots/kde-dark-them… http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/kde/screenshots/kickersteel.j… kde color-schemes (import under kde control center -> colors): http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/kde/color-themes/dcr-Blue.kcs… emerald theme for compiz (import in emerald theme manager): http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/emerald/dcr%20Dark%20Blue-Gra… kate/kwrite/quanta color scheme (put in ~/.kde/share/config): http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/kde/kateschemarc A kicker background (kde control center -> Desktop -> Panel -> Appearance): http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/kde/kicker/kickersteelarch2.p… There are a few alternate themes and backgrounds in the above directories, so you can pick and choose if you like. And DR, since you started this whole thing, and I appreciate it, if you notice the "R" icon on my kicker panel that is set atop flames, I've put two sizes on the server (40x40 and 140x140) just in case you have a use for them ;-) See: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/kde/icons/ -- David C.

Listmates, I am chasing down an issue with the radeonhd driver to force downclocking of the gpu. In my Xog.0.log I am receiving the message: (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory) I have installed acpid, but acpid will not start and gives the following error: [10:24 alchemy:/home/david] # /etc/rc.d/acpid start :: Starting acpid [BUSY] acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: Device or resource busy [FAIL] What's the trick with acpid? -- David C.

[arch-general] Firefox bug that may be Arch specific
by Emmanuel Benisty 20 May '09

20 May '09

Hi List, Just for information, there has been already two bug reports in Bugzilla that mention a bug in the display size of textboxes. Until now, only Archers seems to suffer from this bug and one of the mozilla developers has marked this issue as specific to Arch. Therefore, I thought it could be interesting to let Arch developers and users to be informed about this. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=491114 Thanks+regards.

[arch-general] Marking a package as a dependency
by Magnus Therning 20 May '09

20 May '09

I just recently bothered reading part of pacman's man page and found that I probably should have performed a `pacman -U --asdeps mypkg.tar.gz` as I installed dependencies for packages I build manually. However I didn't, so can I retro-actively change the reason-for-installation of an already installed package without re-installing it? (No, I couldn't decipher whether the man page already tells me how to do this :-) /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

[arch-general] Building local repo - eliminating dups - why some new x86_64?
by David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. 20 May '09

20 May '09

Listmates, I'm building a local repo for boxes to update via the lan instead of redownloading. I have my repo on my local server as: arch/ x86/ x86_64/ I have moved all files for my two x86_64 boxes to the arch/x86_64 dir and I am filtering with a script to eliminate dups by moving the lesser numbered packages to arch/x86_64/oldpkgs. Testing the script before the actual move of packages, I ran across this anomaly in some filenames: (script output) [1] <snip> ttf-isabella-1.003-3.pkg.tar.gz -> oldpkgs ttf-isabella-1.003-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz tunepimp-0.5.3-5.pkg.tar.gz -> oldpkgs tunepimp-0.5.3-6-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz tzdata-2009f-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz -> oldpkgs tzdata-2009g-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz unrar-3.8.5-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz -> oldpkgs unrar-3.9.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz <snip> As shown above, there are multiple packages where the earlier version did *not* contain the x86_64 designation where the current package now does. Are these the same packages? If so why did earlier packages not have the x86_64 and when was the architecture added? Are all packages now going to have the architecture specified? Footnotes: [1] Filtering done by a simple look ahead and the output created as follows: PKGFILES=( $(ls -1 /home/backup/archlinux/x86_64) ) for ((i=0;i<${#PKGFILES[@]}-1;i++)); do if [[ ${PKGFILES[$i]%%-[[:digit:]]*} == ${PKGFILES[$i+1]%%-[[:digit:]]*} ]]; then echo -e "${PKGFILES[$i]} -> oldpkgs\n${PKGFILES[$i+1]}\n" fi -- David C.

[arch-general] broken john package
by Sébastien Duquette 18 May '09

18 May '09

The package for john is broken, it is missing files that make it unusable. I filled a bug report (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14422) a month ago and other users complained about this issue. The current maintainer is andrea and the package was last updated on april 8th. Can someone please fix this ? Thanks, Sébastien
