[arch-general] Rope as a anjuta dependency
by Tomás Acauan Schertel 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

Now that Anjuta IDE supports python, and to have full integration with python, rope [1] is needed, isn't a good idea bring rope do extra repo instead of having it in AUR? Thanks.

Hey Stefano, What instructions did you follow? I'm interested on testing this (HD 4850 here). Cheers, Adam ------Original Message------ From: Stefano Avallone Sender: arch-general-bounces(a)archlinux.org To: General Discusson about Arch Linux ReplyTo: stavallo(a)unina.it ReplyTo: General Discussion about Arch Linux Subject: [arch-general] some notes on the radeon gallium driver Sent: Oct 6, 2010 2:24 AM Hi, just if anyone is interested... I compiled mesa 7.9 and tried the radeon gallium driver on a X300 ati card. It works pretty good. For instance, now I can use the blur effect of kwin 4.5, while I couldn't with classic mesa 7.9 driver. I don't play games, so I cannot tell what is different with games... Maybe we might have an ati-dri package in [testing] that ships r300g instead of r300c... Stefano

[arch-general] UbuntuOne
by Samir 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

I've noticed that there are some UbuntuOne related packages in aur, but many of them are very out of date. In theory, I'm told that we should be able to get UbuntuOne working under any Linux distro..I was wondering if there was any reason for the current state of the aur packages. Is there a technicaly issue that prevents us from having more updated packages? -- Samir

Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] Python rebuild on its way to [testing]

Just a question on this topic - does the new [staging] mean that [testing] should always be complete (ie. not having any unupdated-for-lib-bump packages)?

[arch-general] Question about pacman and installing Gnome
by Christian 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

Hi all, I had to do a reinstall of my machine so I did that and for some reason, Gnome doesn't start proprely. I am visually impaired so I can't see the screen until I have logged into Gnome and started Orca, the screen reader for Gnome. Here is what I do. pacman -S xorg xf86-video-ati xf86-input-keyboard xf86-input-mouse gnome gnome-extra gnome-system-tools Then I did: pacman -S gamin pacman -S gdm I have however got a protocol error so I had to restart some of the downloads above, but will pacman check the packages so that they are completely downloaded? Anyway, I then did: /etc/rc.d/hal start /etc/rc.d/gdm start and I did all of this as root. Then I can read that the screen goes into the graphical environment since BRLTTY and Speakup, the console screen readers tell me that. I wait for about 30 seconds before I login as my user but nothing happens when I press enter after I have entered my password. Have I missed something? This is like I did before. I have added my user to the video group as well as the others recommended on the beginners guide. Any thoughts? Many thanks, Christian

[arch-general] KDE and output to two monitors
by Ondřej Kučera 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

Hello, from time to time I connect my laptop (1280x800) with another display (usually an old 19" at 1280x1024). My preferred configuration is to set both displays to their natural resolution with the laptop display being set to be "left of VGA1". I do this all via KDE system settings. It always used to make the KDE panel and all windows stay on my laptop display, until I grabbed a window and moved it rightwards. However, since a couple of days or weeks ago (unfortunately I'm not sure which upgrade changed this) no matter what I do the KDE panel appears on the external display, so does my wallpaper and so do some of the windows (most, but not all of them). This doesn't really work for me much, does anyone know what to do to return to the previous behavior?
