[arch-general] PCI modems
by RedShift 26 Jul '09

26 Jul '09

Hi all, I'm currently searching for a PCI modem that will be used to receive faxes. I've tried out a few modems but they all use conexant chipsets, which need out-of-tree kernel drivers and currently doesn't work here (kernel oops when the installation script modprobes the driver). Does anyone know of a PCI modem that works out of the box with in-tree kernel drivers? Thanks, Glenn

[arch-general] No updates in past week or so - my update problem or just no updates?
by David C. Rankin 26 Jul '09

26 Jul '09

Listmates, I have several boxes running arch. In the past week or so, I haven't had any updates. Is it my system not updating or have there been relatively few updates? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Where can I find the "boot" log to find out, what failed on boot?

When this happens to me, I use the following rc.local, which will pause at the end of the boot process, *normally* preserving these messages: __________________________ #!/bin/bash # # /etc/rc.local: Local multi-user startup script. # pause at end of boot before clearing screen read -n1 __________________________ HTH...g

[arch-general] What happened to konq-plugins-4.2.95svn985376-1?

Listmates, I have another newer package according to the last updates: :: Starting full system upgrade... warning: konq-plugins: local (4.2.95svn985376-1) is newer than kde-unstable (4.2.4-2) kde-unstable is before testing in pacman.conf.

[arch-general] [signoff] openvpn 2.1_rc19-2
by Thomas Bächler 25 Jul '09

25 Jul '09

Tested on x86_64, please sign off. Fixes: - Upstream URL was wrong: http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/openvpn/trunk/PKGBUILD?r1=47204&r2=47… - Display of right configuration files on /etc/rc.d/openvpn stop: http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/openvpn/trunk/openvpn.rc?r1=47204&r2=… - Typo in the script that made it fail when one of the openvpn daemons wouldn't start. http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/openvpn/trunk/openvpn.rc?r1=47594&r2=… There is also another request here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15673 The user says that not all /etc/openvpn/*.conf should be started, but there should be a configuration file that says which ones to start. I am against this, as it adds redundancy and the starting can be avoided by renaming the file to something not ending on .conf. What do you think?

[arch-general] mpd had removed relative volume functionality.
by b4283 24 Jul '09

24 Jul '09

According to developer Cirrus, the relative volume adjusting method has been deprecated for 5 years. which is finally abandoned in the git version. (does anybody know why mpd in the repo hasn't been updated for sometime while stable 0.15.1 is around?) So anyone who uses mpc to bind a hotkey to shortcut such as "mpc volume -5" or "mpc volume +10" is likely to get a error from mpd. I've written a script to realize such functionality, please follow: http://dpaste.com/70907/ save it as script, chmod +x to it and put the relative values as parameter. E.g. "vol.sh +5" or "vol.sh -10" -- regards, b4283
