[arch-general] KDE4 USB and sync
by Manne Merak 20 Aug '10

Anyone know where to set the "sync" option for USB storage devices in KDE4. In 3.5 you could rightclick on the drive and there was a checkbox. Manne

20 Aug '10

After a # yaourt -Syu which showed: Objetivos (2): k3b-2.0.1-1 [8,14 MB] qimageblitz-0.0.6-1 [0,06 MB] I downloaded and installed both packages. Now I got this error when launching K3b: k3b: error while loading shared libraries: libkcmutils.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Please tell the package maintainer to check it. -Martín

[arch-general] New kernel and Realtek 8171 wireless card
by Rafael Beraldo 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

I uploaded my Arch box this morning, and my wireless card doesn't work anymore. I had to install this AUR package [1] to get it working with prior kernel versions. When I ran lsmod | grep r8192, I realised that the module isn't being loaded. But it makes no difference to run modprobe r8192e_pci --- ifconfig -a won't show any wireless extentions. Does anybody have this issue? I browsed the forum and the bug tracker and found nothing about it. Unfortunatelly I ran pacman -Scc yesterday, so I can't downgrade! I'm sorry if I didn't make myself clear but I'm such a hurry I can't even think clearly. Thank you all. [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34281 -- Rafael Beraldo http://cabaladada.org

[arch-general] .Xdefaults vs Xdefaults-<hostname> vs .Xresources
by Andre "Osku" Schmidt 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Hello, just heard a problem on #archlinux that gdm was not loading ~/.Xdefaults. after quick search i found these: gdm does not read .Xdefaults http://bugs.gentoo.org/52832 $HOME/.Xdefaults no longer being read https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xinit/+bug/320886 man x mentions only .Xdefaults-<hostname> #xorg said: ".Xdefaults & .Xdefaults-<hostname> have been depreacted for a long time, .Xresources is the current form, but rarely used as most people moved on to toolkits like Qt & Gtk that don't use .Xresources" man x also sais: "The default is $HOME/.Xdefaults-<hostname>. Unlike $HOME/.Xresources, it is consulted each time an X application starts." if no one has a better note for http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xdefaults ill just add that manpage quote :P cheers .andre

[arch-general] gnome-keyring and ssh without login manager
by Ray Rashif 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

On a newly-set-up "promiscuous USB" system, I've chosen to skip a DE, and ultimately also forewent a login manager. Normally, I'd be happy with an askpass client, but I've noticed that I cannot do without nm-applet on this installation, and consequently have ended up with gnome-keyring installed alongside as well. So I thought, hey, I could make use of that thing, like I make use of kwallet with ksshaskpass on a KDE system. Unfortunately, after some headache-inducing trial-and-errors, it occurs to me as if this is fat hope. The technical background is as follows: 1) Openbox WM only + pcmanfm for desktop management 2) X is autostarted on bootup via su/inittab 3) nm-applet autoconnects to my desired WiFi without any kind of prompting (though it did ask for a password to set up a new key the first time) 4) gnome-keyring does not appear to be running post-startup (so we can assume nm-applet calls it on demand only) I do know that at least one similar issue with regards to having a login manager, "realtime", is worked around by having the following in /etc/pam.d/su: session required pam_limits.so So I tried something akin to that with the gnome_keyring.so stuff, to no avail. Any chance? You tell me. -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD

[arch-general] commitpkg script than handle better splitted package
by Laurent Carlier 18 Aug '10

[arch-general] Some problems with a dell mini
by Andrea Crotti 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

I have a nice del mini 10" with archlinux and XFCE4 It works great after I updated the kernel the audio and the camera started to work, which is nice. BUT - I think the 3d still doesn't work, I followed the guide (using intel-dri drivers) and video now runs smoothly, but glgears is still very slow. Since I've read somewhere that is not a good measure, how do I know for sure if 3d is activated or not? - the wireless is quite painful I use wicd-client/server and it keeps disconnecting, and half of the times it even gives me a password wrong error. Restarting wicd server or the network doesn't help, only restarting apparently does. Very weird - the screensaver I never asked xfce4 that I want a screensaver, and apparently there should be an entry in the configuration menu, but for some reasons I don't, even if I have all the possible extensions and util of xfce4 already installed Thanks a lot, Andrea
