[arch-general] Package deletion request
by D. Can Celasun 14 Feb '11

14 Feb '11

I've adopted, updated and reuploaded the "ejecter"[1] package as "indicator-ejecter"[2] to follow the general naming convention regarding Ayatana packages [3] . Can someone please delete the original "ejecter" package? [1] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=20493 [2] http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=46497 [3] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=99746&p=1 Thanks.

[arch-general] xf86-video-ati, xbrightness and KMS bug
by Fess 14 Feb '11

14 Feb '11

Hi guys. I've switched to xf86-video-ati from fgrlx and have some troubles with changing brightness level. xbrightness tells me: "No outputs have backlight property". With fgrlx it worked like a charm. If anyone have a solution - it will be great. P.S. My keyboard dead now, so i have to use discrete, and have no FN buttons. I have asus x61s. Video: Ati Radeon HD4570 and enabled KMS. Without KMS X won't start. Kernel: 2.6.37-5 Driver: 6.14.0-1 xorg.conf.d file: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/338214/ -- With best wishes or hundreds of hate.

[arch-general] util-linux 2.19 release
by Dave Reisner 14 Feb '11

14 Feb '11

Attached is a changelog and a PKGBUILD for the recently released util-linux 2.19. Changes I've made to the PKGBUILD: - name change: the project is once again called util-linux. I've updated the conflicts accordingly, and removed the ancient reference to linux32. I think its worth keeping the versioned conflict with e2fsprogs. - remove install scriptlet: this info file is no longer provided - use autogen.sh script instead of manually invoking autotools - remove --enable-rdev flag. this has been non-existant since 2.17 - no need to rm stuff in package() -- these files are no longer part of util-linux Other thoughts: If we build this with --enable-libmount-mount, we can do away with /etc/mtab and make it a symlink to /proc/self/mounts. It is, however, marked as experimental in the release notes. I've been running the -git version of util-linux for about a month now, and have had no problems with low level functionality e.g. booting or mounting. thanks, dave

[arch-general] gcc: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault
by David C. Rankin 13 Feb '11

13 Feb '11

Guys, Has anyone else experienced a segmentation fault with the current gcc? I received the following: In file included from /home/david/tbld/kdebase/kcontrol/konq/fontopts.cpp:387:0: /home/david/tbld/kdebase/src/kcontrol/konq/fontopts.moc: In member function virtual void KonqFontOptions::load(bool): /home/david/tbld/kdebase/src/kcontrol/konq/fontopts.moc:136:93: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. See <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions. From the error, I take it this is a gcc issue and I'll submit it there, but I wanted to see if anyone else had seen it (or something like it) and what, if anything, else the Arch devs would like to see on the issue. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] streamtuner2 - python developers please have a look
by Andreas Radke 12 Feb '11

12 Feb '11

I'd like to replace streamtuner with streamtuner2 in extra. But there's one major bug that is a stopper to me. http://sourceforge.net/projects/streamtuner2/forums/forum/1173108/topic/377… Upstream is aware of it but seems unable to fix it. I know we have some python coders around. Maybe you can have a look at it. -Andy

Excerpts from Allan McRae's message of 2011-02-10 17:12:54 -0500: > Is the current vi package actually usable for an install by someone more > familiar with it? Yes, I have used it a few times, and prefer it over nano. -- David Campbell

[arch-general] Laptop beeps after resuming from suspension
by Thomas Dean 11 Feb '11

11 Feb '11

Hi folks, I have an encounter with a small but annoying problem. After typing pm-suspend and then resuming my laptop, it sometimes beeps, which never happens if I haven't ever suspend it. For example, when I type too much backspace in VIM, it beeps; when I push the shutdown button, it beeps; when I type Page Down button at the end of the text, it beeps, too. Could you please tell me how to shut its beeping? Thanks, Thomas

[arch-general] A repo-add replacement?
by Magnus Therning 11 Feb '11

11 Feb '11

I've noticied that repo-add will blindly overwrite the entry of an already added package with whatever you point it to. Even if the existing entry is for a version that is newer. It basically means that "repo-add repo.db.tar.gz *.pkg.tar.xz" doesn't work that well :-( Is there some other tool for building a a repo db that doesn't follow my instructions so blindly? ;-) /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
