I can't find out the way to start offlineimap automatically each time I start KDE. I tryed with ./kde4/Autostart and shell script but it didn't work. Is there any other way to run in autoamtiaclly in KDE or I must to always start it manually?

Re: [arch-general] Problem with udev 145?

Hello, Replying here, as users cannot post to arch-dev-pubilc, IIRC. On 2009-08-28 at 09:30 +0200, Thomas Bächler wrote: > Exactly one of the many LUKS devices doesn't show up in > /dev/disk/by-uuid/ anymore since an update of initscripts, udev and > glibc this week.

I have exactly the same problem here. One of my two external encrypted USB drives doesn't have a /dev/disk/by-uuid symlink with udev-145-1. However all other /dev/disk/by-* links for this drive are present. It is always the same drive that is affected. And it is only the by-label link for this drive which is missing. > I am lost here, does someone have ideas? Not really. Just that downgrading to udev-141-5 helps here. Regards.

[arch-general] subversion package newer than testing ??
by David C. Rankin 30 Aug '09

30 Aug '09

Listmates, For the past several days I have gotten the warning on pacman -Syu that: :: Synchronizing package databases... testing is up to date kdemod-legacy is up to date core is up to date extra is up to date community is up to date archlinuxfr is up to date :: Starting full system upgrade... warning: subversion: local (1.6.5-1) is newer than testing (1.6.4-2) local database is up to date I thought this might be just an ordering issue of my repositories in /etc/pacman.conf, but then looking at the packages with -s it's right, the subversion in extra is newer than the subversion in testing: testing/subversion 1.6.4-2 Replacement for CVS, another versioning system (svn) extra/subversion 1.6.5-2 Replacement for CVS, another versioning system (svn) What's up? -- David C.

[arch-general] mpc upgrade?
by Ray Kohler 30 Aug '09

30 Aug '09

I hate to beg for favors from people who are already doing plenty for me for free, but could some kind dev update the mpc package? It's now two major versions (or what passes for "major" at musicpd) out of date, and only a simple pkgver / md5sum change. I'd ask its maintainer (pizzapunk) directly, but I remember him being pointed out as an absentee in a recent thread anyway.

[arch-general] lm_sensors
by ponto 29 Aug '09

29 Aug '09

i've used sensors-detect and it gave me: Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `coretemp': * Chip `Intel Core family thermal sensor' (confidence: 9) Do you want to overwrite /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors? (YES/no): Copy prog/init/lm_sensors.init to /etc/rc.d/lm_sensors for initialization at boot time. You should now start the lm_sensors service to load the required kernel modules. and sensors started to give me: sensors coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Core 0: +56.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) coretemp-isa-0001 Adapter: ISA adapter Core 1: +60.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) acpitz-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device temp1: +60.0°C (crit = +94.0°C) was not suppose to give the fan's rpm's and so and so? oh, pwmconfig does outputs me this: pwmconfig # pwmconfig revision 5630 (2009-01-29) This program will search your sensors for pulse width modulation (pwm) controls, and test each one to see if it controls a fan on your motherboard. Note that many motherboards do not have pwm circuitry installed, even if your sensor chip supports pwm. We will attempt to briefly stop each fan using the pwm controls. The program will attempt to restore each fan to full speed after testing. However, it is ** very important ** that you physically verify that the fans have been to full speed after the program has completed. /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed as this have to do with the supose missing values on lm sensors?

[arch-general] "hardware clock" on a VPS
by Pierre Chapuis 28 Aug '09

28 Aug '09

Hi everybody, I was wondering if there's a means to specify, in rc.conf or somewhere else, that you never want to set your hardware clock. That's because, on Xen-based VPS, the hardware clock is handled on the hypervisor level, and /etc/cron.hourly/adjtime gives warnings such as: Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method. Use the --debug option to see the details of our search for an access method. An easy workaround is to delete this file but it will come back after each initscripts update. Does anybody know a solution to prevent that? -- catwell

[arch-general] 404 on 'view svn entries' in package details on archlinux.rog
by solsTiCe d'Hiver 28 Aug '09

28 Aug '09

hello, when you click on 'View svn entries' on quite a few package in details on archlinux.org, you end up on 404 page. is it a side effect of the massive package deletion reported some time ago ? is it another quirk or hiccup, or server migration ?

[arch-general] server with an encrypted non-root disk
by Dieter Plaetinck 27 Aug '09

27 Aug '09

Hi, I have a little server at home which has an encrypted disk mounted at /home/media/1tbdisk I added it to crypttab and the decrypted dm device to fstab, but i have the following problems: 1) the keymap upon luksOpen is qwerty, even though i have my keymap set in rc.conf and added 'keymap' to hooks in rc.conf I ran `mkinitcpio -p kernel26` in the shell that the init(script) gave me when it tried to mount /dev/mapper/decrypted (after i mounted -o remount,ro /). Do i really have to run mkinitcpio again from the real system and reboot? (i can do it, but would like to know what might have gone wrong here) 2) even when i'm sure i'm typing correct pass (in qwerty) it doesn't unlock. i added dm_crypt to modules in rc.conf but no change. it asks the pass 3 times and then fstab tries to mount the nonexisting device and i get the shell If i comment out the entries in crypttab and fstab and unlock+mount myself after boot, it works fine. 3) even if for some reason one fails to unlock the volume, it would be nice that the boot process can continue. maybe there could also be a timeout: not unlocked within 60s, continue boot process. is this possible to do or would it make things too complicated? 4) suppose one can fix the stuff in the shell that you get from the fstab hook, is it possible to just resume boot instead of rebooting? 5) any other thoughts about this kind of setup? I know it's possible if you have IPMI to do serial over lan and type your password from anywhere around the globe during bootup. but i don't have ipmi, so if no-one can unlock the volume in x seconds, it can continue booting.
