[arch-general] Spell Checking in Emacs
by Steve Holmes 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

I have emacs 23.2 running in a normal text console and am trying to spell check using the ispell.el facility in the emacs lisp libraries. I also installed aspell and espell-en packages to resolve the binary program to be used by the emacs ispell function. When I do any of the emacs commands like ispell-buffer or ispell-region and the like, I keep getting a message in the prompt line of emacs saying "Text is read-only" The buffer where I am testing this is most definitely not a read-only buffer. I tested aspell out in a normal terminal on a test text file and that seemed to work OK. Do I have to do anything else to get this working right? I did not set up any config files for aspell; I'm not sure if I have to or not. Can anyone help me out?

Why not uploading binary packages? Wouldn't be the worst idea to have both packages in the repo, so that users have the choice. Heiko

[arch-general] Inclusion of wvdial in the ISO
by Nilesh Govindarajan 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

Hi, Recently I've been going to my friends' house and installing arch on their boxes. Some of them had high speed wireless dialup internet (3.1 megabytes/s is the max) which required wvdial, so I had to carry wvdial's package in another pen drive. It would be nice if wvdial was included in the ISO, so such people can have the latest system if they conduct an FTP install. -- Regards, Nilesh Govindarajan Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/nilesh.gr Twitter: http://twitter.com/nileshgr Website: http://www.itech7.com Cheap and Reliable VPS Hosting: http://j.mp/arHk5e

by Fess 01 Oct '10

Well, i think, i should say some words. But some of you will say that i'm "out of line". So, i'll just dicribe details of the update. If someone else have such problems, reply me, and i'll post this to bugtracker. Because, i may have "wrong arms" or "bad carma" or whatever. 1)Synaptics. Errors that no synaptics devices found. Google says nothing, except the same errors and "wtf is going on". 2)Bug or feature? Using caps_toggle: X now won't switch on\off your cute led, while you changing language. 3)2d\3d slowdown. Epic slowdown. No erros, both ati drivers(catalyst | xf86-video-ati). RADEON HD4570, .35 stock kernel from repos. --

[arch-general] Problems mountig ftp/smb via gvfs
by b1 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Hello altogether Today I ran into the following problem: When I try to connect to an ftp Server via the "connect to Server Dialog" in Nautilus, the ftp Server gets mounted. Unfortunatelly there are no files in the newly created mountpoint. I also looked manually in the .gvfs/FTPSERVERNAME/ Directory and it is empty. However trying to access the ftp-Server via filezilla (an ftp programm), works fine. The exactly same issue comes up, if I try to connect to a Windows-Share. A mountpoint is created, but its empty. Nautilus shows no error message and I have no idea of how to solve this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Benedikt

[arch-general] Monitor not going to "power save" mode in suspend
by Madhurya Kakati 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Hi, I am using pm-utils to suspend-to-ram and suspend-to-disk. In both the suspends my LCD monitor goes black but doesn't go to the "power save mode" i.e the light doesn't turn orange. This happens only in archlinux though. On Windows when i standby (suspend) the monitor properly goes to "power save mode". Also in both the OS I can't wake up from suspend-to-ram by pressing any key on the key board or moving the mouse. I have to press the power on button on the CPU cabinet. I guess theres a BIOS setting to enable that but i can't seem to find it. Please tell me how to solve both the problems. My motherboard model is Biostar TA785G3 HD and BIOS is AMI BIOS. Thanks.

My mkinitcpio.conf has: MODULES="xen-blkfront xen-kbdfront xen-netfront evtchn xenfs" HOOKS="base udev autodetect filesystems" Hosted on Linode. There was some issue with pv-grub in the past which they patched, not sure how the situation is with vanilla pv-grub now. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[arch-general] [community] package needs rebuilding, bug report?
by Ng Oon-Ee 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Hi all, With the move of [gnome-unstable] stuff to [testing], some [community] packages (gnome-media-pulse, gnome-settings-daemon-pulse) are out-of-date, others (xiphos) no longer run due to depending on earlier versions of libs. Is that bug-report worthy, or can I assume the maintainers are aware?
