My mkinitcpio.conf has: MODULES="xen-blkfront xen-kbdfront xen-netfront evtchn xenfs" HOOKS="base udev autodetect filesystems" Hosted on Linode. There was some issue with pv-grub in the past which they patched, not sure how the situation is with vanilla pv-grub now. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[arch-general] [community] package needs rebuilding, bug report?
by Ng Oon-Ee 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Hi all, With the move of [gnome-unstable] stuff to [testing], some [community] packages (gnome-media-pulse, gnome-settings-daemon-pulse) are out-of-date, others (xiphos) no longer run due to depending on earlier versions of libs. Is that bug-report worthy, or can I assume the maintainers are aware?

[arch-general] Does Anyone have a "dial-in' server working on arch with pppd?
by David C. Rankin 01 Oct '10

Guys, In the past I have set up 'dial-in' servers in my home to share the cable internet connection when I'm at sites with no internet connections. This has worked great for years on SuSE. The way it works is: _______________ _____________________ | other box | dials modem on server and | Server w/modem & | | kppp dialer |<----------------------------->| cable internet | | | gets an IP and starts ppp | hylafax-adaptive | --------------- | answer, handles | | data call, starts | Internet<---------->| pppd session and | | internet out ttyS1| --------------------- I have tried a number of times to get this to work on Arch and I'm drawing blanks. I have set /etc/ppp/options, chap-secrets, pap-secrets as I have run them in the past, but they never start ppp. I'm beginning to think that something is wrong with the current pppd package. If somebody has a running config or ideas about how to make this work with arch, I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Anyone experiencing any issues with bash-completion for scp? When attempting to scp a local file to a remote machine, and I try to tab complete the local filename, bash just hangs until I ctrl-c. Might be be trying to complete the file on a non-existent remote server or something like that?
