[arch-general] change user and group in env in PKGBUILD
by Caleb Cushing 03 Jun '10

so i'm trying to update the oracle pkgbuild on AUR. oracle's installer won't run as root, but it thinks that it's running as root. how can I change this? I believe it is supposed to be run as the user and group that it gets installed as what's the best way to add those in the pkgbuild? -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com

[arch-general] synergy-plus
by Caleb Cushing 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

I suppose this could be filed as a bug... but since extra/synergy has long been unmaintained upstream. I recently found a fork http://code.google.com/p/synergy-plus/ for which there is already a pkgbuild on AUR. perhaps we should consider relegating the original synergy to AUR and moving synergy-plus into extra (or community) -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com

[arch-general] Lost Sound Today
by Carlos Mennens 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

I did a update / upgrade today and noticed that there was a new kernel installed so I rebooted my Arch workstation. Sadly I no longer have any audio in Gnome via flash plugin. I checked and made sure I am a member of the 'audio' group if that matters...I am. I don't know if sound was broken before or after the upgrade but I can't listen to Pandora or any streaming audio via the web. I checked my sound properties and everything appears to be normal. Please help! -Carlos

[arch-general] getting fed up with gnome's fast-user-switching experience
by Matthew Monaco 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Maybe some of you have had similar problems, maybe some have fixed them, seen them vanish with updates, or are still dealing with them. On pretty much every computer I interact with that uses Gnome (Arch, et al.) there is always one problem or another trying to log out, switch users, or resume from suspend. The symptom is usually a blank screen (with or without the backlight), or a blank screen with just the mouse. I'm not sure which combination of programs is to blame. But I've suspected (in no particular order): gdm gnome-session pm-utils gnome-screensaver kernel/xorg drivers for nvidia/ati/intel When encountered with a blank screen, sometimes the solution is as simple as ctrl+alt+f# to find the right tty. Sometimes ctrl+alt+backspace will work if DontZap is disabled. Sometimes I can ssh from another computer and do an (tel)init 3; (tel)init 5. And many unfortunate times I either can't log in remotely or the init trick doesn't work - I'm forced to do a hard reboot. The worst part is, it is really beginning to feel completely random. Or difficult to pinpoint, like special combinations of users that are logged and the user that is initiating the logout/suspend/etc (corrupted gconf?) *sigh* Do any of you have a multi-user gnome system with no problems at all here?

Hello, blah blah, yada yada... didn't see any real use case for it, so didn't finish (rewrite/polish) it, sorry. (and i just wanted to see how it would look like;) nice looking package: pacgraph tkabber | dot -Tsvg > test.svg color shows which repo... disclaimer, i'm no "real" coder, and this was my first script in perl! cheers .andre ps. in reality i just got bored to code more complicated things, looping through all repos was annoying enough ;)
