[arch-general] Gnome/Gtk-2.0 BLING! (list of surprisingly cool themes)
by David C. Rankin 22 Aug '10

22 Aug '10

Listmates, I stumbled across some absolutely killer gtk-2.0 & metacity themes that caught my eye. If you use gnome, Xfce, etc.., give them a try and I guarantee you, you will be blown away. They are available at gnome-look or Xfce-look.org sites or by googling the theme name. Most also come with an emerald theme as well as part of the package. Here is the short list: ** Abstract-DarkGlow Aero-ion3.1 Black Plastic V.2 ** Blue-Joy Correcamins DarkVision DiMurrineGTK Dust (Dust Burnt, and the rest of the Dust ... themes) Elegant Aurora (and the other Elegant....) Glow Fire (Lava, Flower, Cinder ...) Harvest Industrial-Glacier (GONYX, Lighthouse, Charcoal, Zeta, ...) Moomex Nova-Blue (Gold, etc...) Overglossed Oxygen-Molecule River Shifte_Black ShinyBlack Silence ** SlicknesS-black SphereCrystal Tenebrific-BlueMods Vision Xfce-cadmium (many of the Xfce themes also have matching gtk themes) Zniavre ** (top 3 for me - the rest are a close 4th) And the screenshot giving an example of Blue-Joy and SlicknesS-black: (86k) http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/ss/gnome/gnome-bling.jpg -- David C.

Hi, I have a Digilife DDV-660 camera which can take still photos, movies, voice record and mp3 play. After some research I think DDV-660 and DDV-7000 have the same driver, but neither seems to be available in kdegraphics-kamera Any ideas how to ? -- Nilesh Govindarajan Site & Server Administrator www.itech7.com मेरा भारत महान ! मम भारत: महत्तम भवतु !

[arch-general] perl 5.12
by Caleb Cushing 05 May '10

05 May '10

Is there a timeline for perl 5.12 entering testing? I realize it's an important not to be jumped into thing... but I don't see any bugs that are obviously holding it up... so I'm just curious why it hasn't entered testing yet. -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com

[arch-general] Fresh Install - kde4 filling up .xsession-errors 300M + in 48 hours - "Invalid iterator."
by David C. Rankin 03 May '10

03 May '10

Guys, This is a new one. I replaced one of my last suse boxes with arch at work a couple of days ago. I ssh'ed into the box tonight to get a few files and noticed my .xsession-errors file well over 300M - huh? -rw------- 1 david david 341482832 Apr 26 22:54 .xsession-errors Wanting to get a feel for what was up, I just tailf'ed and watched. Every few seconds it would dump a bunch of stuff to the file in somewhat of a loop of messages starting and/or ending with the 'invalid iterator .' line. I'm at a loss as to what is causing it. My rc.conf daemons setup is: DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network hal @netfs @ntpd @sshd @crond @avahi-daemon @mysqld !postfix @cups) with kdm being started in inittab: x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/kdm -nodaemon This was the first or second time kde4 was started to akonadi/nepomuk was still churning away, but had evidently completed several hours after I had left. I'm sure I have probably done this to myself, but I did a fairly standard install. I'm currently crunching the .xsession-errors file down with xz to see how small I can get it in case anybody wants to see it. 'xz -z9e' Amazingly it crunched it down to a little over 500k: http://www.rbpllc.com/download/arch/bugs/xsession-errors.xz Let me have your thoughts on this. The error message 'loop' seems to be something like what follows: "/usr/bin/nepomukservicestub(1804)" Error in thread 3009424240 : "Invalid iterator."

[arch-general] Time for an arch-security mailing list?
by Ananda Samaddar 30 Apr '10

30 Apr '10

Does anyone agree with this? If so how do I go about requesting the creation of such a list? The list would be for discussion around security in Arch, implementations and user/dev input etc. It seems like package signing has moved up the agenda now and I've also got a few things I'd like to suggest but I feel we'd be better served by a separate mailing list for security.

[arch-general] Crisp Rendering Fonts
by Carlos Mennens 30 Apr '10

30 Apr '10

Is there any suggestion on Arch Linux running Gnome 2.6.30 to improve the crisp / clearness of my fonts? I installed the latest available nVidia drivers & under 'Appearance' > 'Fonts' > 'Details', I show the following: * Resolution: 98 dots per square inch. * Smoothing: Subpixel (LCD) * Hinting: Slight * Subpixel Order; RGB It just never seems as clear and crisp when I compare side by side to Ubuntu or Windows 7. The font clarity is notable difference beween Arch and I would like to change this. Any help and or tips would be greatly appreciated! -Carlos

[arch-general] perl prereleases request to make official decision to deviate from general guidleines
by Caleb Cushing 30 Apr '10

30 Apr '10

I'm working on a PKGBUILD for perl 5.12 and I notice that it's providing 20 some odd prerelease modules. I'm annoyed but I can't do anything about it. The general PKGBUILD guidelines say use the same as upstream unless there is a hyphen. so for a perl prerelease of 0.90_1 that guideline follows to release it as exactly the same. However 0.90_1 is == 0.90.1 and greater than 0.90 which it is a prerelease for on cpan. I'd like to suggest that for perl the official guideline be to make the version 0.90_pre1 Dist::Zilla a release automation tool also allows for using a format _TRIAL which is not yet popular on cpan but does happen should pacman add a _trial ? to the list of options? I think we could just use _pre here too. -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com

[arch-general] 4k sector drives
by Caleb Cushing 30 Apr '10

30 Apr '10

has anyone installed arch on one of these drives? thinking about buying a pair and running them mirrored... but not sure if everything will be working optimal. note: since I'll have to migrate off an existing drive I can use the tools installed on that to partition it first. Is there anything I should know first? -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com
