[arch-general] tcp ack Traffic shaping

Apparantly i chose the wrong IPS. My upload is extremly tiny. When i upload something with only 5kb, my dowload rate dies. I assume that's because Acks don't get through in time. Anyone got an idea how to give those priority?

[arch-general] New kde4.4 install fails libXft.so.2.1.13 is trunkated
by richard terry 14 Feb '10

14 Feb '10

No iea what this means: ldconfig: file /usr/lib/libXFt.so.2.1.13 is trunkated occured at the end of install, and seems to happen when I try to install other packages. No X or kde either, so though I'd start with this message. NO mention of this when I searched the forum... Any help appreciated. Richard

[arch-general] Nuking a MySQL Install
by Samuel Baldwin 14 Feb '10

14 Feb '10

Howdy. I fucked up an old mysql install and I want to start completely over, but pacman -R mysql (even with --nosave) doesn't remove everything; I'm still unable to run '/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation' after reinstalling mysql; it fails setting the new password. Any way to completely obliterate all traces of mysql on my machine so I can just start over. This is the output of /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation which includes the error: arrakis^zedbot# /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MySQL SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE! PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY! In order to log into MySQL to secure it, we'll need the current password for the root user. If you've just installed MySQL, and you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank, so you should just press enter here. Enter current password for root (enter for none): OK, successfully used password, moving on... Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MySQL root user without the proper authorisation. Set root password?

[arch-general] [signoff] rp-pppoe-3.10-3
by Daniel Isenmann 13 Feb '10

13 Feb '10

Hi, this is a small fix for the bug reported here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=699763 Now, you have to set explicit the plugin path to the kernel mode plugin if you want to use it. So, it's up to you if you need it or not and it won't be set anymore as default, because it generated too much errors for some users. Please test it and signoff. -Daniel

[arch-general] Update Conflicts
by Samuel Baldwin 13 Feb '10

13 Feb '10

I'm trying to update my system with 'pacman -Syu', but doing so discovers a conflict with phonon; phonon conflicts with qt, but kdelibs apparently needs both. What should I do? Trying to install phonon by hand requires uninstalling qt, but other packages depend on it (including kdelibs). arrakis^samuel# pacman -Syu :: Synchronizing package databases... core is up to date extra is up to date community is up to date :: Starting full system upgrade... :: Replace kdelibs-experimental with extra/kdelibs?

[arch-general] How to disable automatic svn updates in Konqueror 4.4?
by David Rosenstrauch 13 Feb '10

13 Feb '10

So it looks like an annoying "feature" got added to a recent upgrade to KDE4. (Maybe in the recent 4.4 beta?) When using Konqueror as a file manager, apparently there's some new subversion integration - which is getting enabled by default. If you go into "konqueror --profile filemanagement" and click on an svn working directory, konqueror automatically displays the svn status using icons, and automatically performs an "svn update" when you enter the directory. Anyone know how to disable this "feature"? Thanks, DR

Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] [PATCH] fixed detection of CONSOLEFONT and enabled all *gz fonts
by Damjan Georgievski 12 Feb '10

> I removed psf.gz since i didn't find what's the difference between psfu.gz > and psf.gz and maybe it supposed to be handled in other way. The difference between a psfu and a psf font, is that psfu also contains a unicode -> glyph mapping which is a necessity for UTF-8 consoles. The psf fonts don't have a unicode map, and by default are only usefull for the charset they were designed for. but it's possible to load an external unicode map with "setfont -u". references: /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/README.psfu man setfont -- damjan
