[arch-general] [signoff] nfs-utils 1.2.2-3
by Andreas Radke 28 May '10

28 May '10

While I was changing my nfs server from NFSv3 to NFSv4 I've found our user mapping broken. Before idmapd gets started we need to make sure nfsd module is loaded. If the module is not loaded all files are mapped to nobody the guest account. We load it in the nfs-common init script now. This is also done the same way by Debian, Fedora and Gentoo. see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=490181 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/235930 http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/nfs-utils/F-13/nfs.init?revision=1… Now it's working on my server. Please signoff. -Andy

[arch-general] [signoff] kernel26-LTS 2.6.32.14-1
by Andreas Radke 28 May '10

28 May '10

We want to replace the LTS kernel series .27 soon with the .32 series. The .32 series has been in testing now for a while. Please test if anything is broken for you apart from broken modules you have built your own. Maybe we provide module packages in the future. One issue is known in .32 series: OpenOffice has problems with NFSv3 locking mechanism. This can be solved by using NFSv4. Please test and give signoffs. -Andy

[arch-general] Burning From Command Line
by Carlos Mennens 28 May '10

28 May '10

How do I create a bootable install disk from an .ISO image I downloaded from the Arch site? I would like to know how to do this via CLI only rather than using a front end GUI like Gnome Baker, K3B, or Brasero. Does anyone know the command to burn the image to disk via CLI and what packages I must have in order to do so?

[arch-general] Configuring Arch to only use a single interface and not probe for another netowrking interface?
by Keith Hinton 28 May '10

28 May '10

Hi all, The subject should spell it out, but what I'm wondering is if there is any way to force Arch to not probe for say eth0 when eth1 is prefered over eth0 and such? Thanks for any help on that question! Basically eth0 is my laptop's ethernet card, while eth1 is the wireless card. While the wireless card is used specifically for Internet connection, the wired is never used at all. I have my laptop configured through the use of netCFG to handle the wireless to make it a bit faster to configure. While that is the case, I would prefer that only that eth1 is used, and would like to see eht0 disappear totally from the list of detected network interfaces if Arches kernel is flexible enough to do this. If anyone could get back to me I would appreciate it very much. Regards, --Keith Skype: skypedude1234 MSN Messenger: keithint37(a)hotmail.com Yahoo messenger /AIM: keithint1234

[arch-general] dualboot?
by David Lowe 28 May '10

28 May '10

I'm new to Arch Linux & Linux in general, so please excuse any newbie questions... Can the Arch Linux install do a dualboot installation? I've read some documentation and it seems to be iffy on this point. Also, why are most Linux users and programmers so obsessed with Python? I'd much rather download Euphoria. http://www.rapideuphoria.com If it's a requirement that a Python runtime be on the system, then I'd rather not install at all.

[arch-general] perl-list-moreutils 0.22-2
by Caleb Cushing 27 May '10

saw this updated this morning and got curious as to why. I looked at it and it seems little more than a PKGBUILD improvement... nothing that would affect current users. why bump the pkgrel? also this version isn't on abs I don't know what affects that though. -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com

This looks funny to me: $ pacman -Qi pkg-config | grep '^Provides' Provides : pkgconfig=${pkgver} Isn't it supposed to be expanded?

Dear Christopher, I have sent countless emails to many governmental, non-governmental and international organizations in the world with the subject "Plea for Medical Help/Assistance". But surprisingly I get very few replies. Maybe the replies have been deleted or the emails I sent have been deleted. EDIT: I overheard my neighbours claiming to have passwords/access to my email accounts. --- Mr. Teo En Ming Hanyu Pinyin Name: Zhang Enming Facebook: Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) Photo (1): http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/7534/enmingteodscf2511.jpg Photo (2): http://i.imgur.com/CLifZ.jpg Mobile Phone (Starhub Pre-paid): +65-8369-2618 Singapore Citizen On 05/27/2010 01:59 PM, Christopher Chan wrote: > >> Do you also know how I can contact all the justices of the Judicial >> Committee of the UK Privy Council and all the Lords of the UK House of >> Lords?
