[arch-general] Possibility of including xorg input patch
by Kirill Churin 25 Jul '15

25 Jul '15

Can this patch https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=33142 be applied to Arch's xorg? It solves famous problem https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=865 with broken keyboard input for users who use multiple keyboard layouts without any noticeable side-effects. It's known this patch has been applied in Ubuntu. -- Kirill Churin Jabber: reflexing(a)reflexing.ru, ICQ: 8163230, Skype on demand.

Hello everyone, Update 1.Homepage: http://www.archloong.info 2.Docs: http://www.archloong.info/archlinux/other/docs/ Currently, this system just release base system, users can install software from mirror server. The desktop environment LXDE and many softwares is works. This base system contain kernel26, it works well on all series Lemote 2F machines and Loongson 3A machine (need change kernel). I will build more and more programs for this architecture, and create an AUR for users. Looks its porformance is more than Debian mipsel. Best regards!

[arch-general] Dmenu vs. KMS
by Stan 02 May '11

02 May '11

Hi, guys. Have some troubles with dmenu(4.2.1-1), stock kernel(2.6.38.4-1) and perhaps xf86-video-ati(6.14.1-1): dmenu lags. Vertical listing is really pain in the ass(latency ~1 sec) and with blob everything works just fine. If anyone has the same here i'll post it to suckless's or x.org's bugzilla. Device: Radeon HD4570 Mobile How to test: o In attachments there is file named "test". o Command: cat test | dmenu -l 10 o Lags(or no lags)

[arch-general] pacman: -Rd remove with no dependency check changed?
by Marek Otahal 01 May '11

01 May '11

Hello, I just wanted to remove and install again some pkg because something screwed.. I run $ sudo pacman -Rd pm-utils checking dependencies... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: upower: requires pm-utils AFAIK this was the point of -d (--nodeps) to remove the files without whining about dependencies? Is this a bug? Or how do I achieve the old behavior? Thank you, Mark -- Marek Otahal :o)

by Ionut Biru 30 Apr '11

30 Apr '11

## GNOME 3.0.1 is being moved in [extra] This is a major update and you should take note of a couple of things: * GNOME3 is replacing GNOME2 * GNOME3 has two modes, "standard" mode (gnome-shell) and "fallback" mode (gnome-panel + metacity) * Some packages, like applets using Bonobo, will be dropped in the next few days. A list will be available at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME_3/Packages_dropped * pulseaudio is now required to run the GNOME desktop Update and installation instructions are available at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME_3 Only bugs related to packaging should be reported to http://bugs.archlinux.org/ Crashes and feature requests should be reported to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/ -- Ionuț

Doing this at the end of dbus rc.d script will fix this issue but seems to be less generic than at the end of rc.multi. Because it will not allow other programs launched in udev rules to start if a daemon is required. > On a related note: I noticed that udev upstream recently removed the > call to udevadm trigger --type=failed from their systemd unit files, > which would imply that they think this should never be necessary.

So maybe it is worth > investigating why upstream made the change. Last commit remove option from manpage and add a death condition in TODO to --type failed. Actually this is probably a bad idea to patch in this way. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commit;h=864fde8a087c0edb… I see nothing about this in linux-hotplug mailing list. I will ask them. Thanks a lot for your help Tom! -- Sébastien Luttringer www.seblu.net

Deal with it for now. :) filesizeformat [1] built-in filter to the rescue. However, I'm not sure if it'll mess up the jQuery sort thingy. To run this filter for the package compressed/installed size, the template code [2] might be modified to something like this: {% for attr in column_attrs %} <td> {% if attr == 'compressed_size' or attr == 'installed_size' %} {{ pkg|attribute:attr|filesizeformat }} {% else %} {{ pkg|attribute:attr }} {% endif %} </td> {% endfor %} [1] http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/templates/builtins/#filesizeformat [2] http://projects.archlinux.org/archweb.git/tree/templates/devel/packages.htm…

[arch-general] Blender Bus Error
by Nicolás Adamo 30 Apr '11

30 Apr '11

Hi! Does anyone have any clue about this? [nico@myhost ~]$ blender -d Blender 2.49 (sub 2) Build argv[0] = blender argv[1] = -d Compiled with Python version 2.7.1. Checking for installed Python... got it! Color depth r 5 g 6 b 5 Aux buffers: 0 read file Version 247 sub 5 read file Version 245 sub 16 ordered OBCube OBLamp OBCamera File .Blanguages not found Registering scripts in Blender menus ... Getting menu data for scripts from file: /home/nico/.blender/Bpymenus Color depth r 5 g 6 b 5 Aux buffers: 0 Color depth r 5 g 6 b 5 Aux buffers: 0 Color depth r 5 g 6 b 5 Aux buffers: 0 Bus error [nico@myhost ~]$ Running Blender alone without -d (debug) give simply "Bus error". I googled a lot about it but couldn't find nothing for certain. Some guy troubleshooted this error by deleting a file in his home directory, but that file seems to be created when running Blender for the first time. It's running on i386 atom with poulsbo driver PSB working well (to say something... it's a crappy video card and even crappier for linux, not even mention for blender). I suspect it's not related to some step missing in installation, as when installing Blender on a decent desktop PC it works at once. (AMD64 architecture with ATI videocard and catalyst driver). To my surprise, when first trying kub. 11.04 and before I could configure the video driver, blender did start! When adding the ppa:PSB or similar the system couldn't start again. So I think the problem is related to some missconfiguration in the PSB. My xorg.conf: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "psb" Option "ShadowFB" "true" Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Device0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768_75.00" EndSubSection EndSection Any clue will be apretiated. Thanks
