I did a fresh install with Testing enabled so it is possible that I could be using different cairo/freetype2/fontconfig packages. Also running Gnome 3. @Juan libtrash is not installed. Thanks, Gordy I did an identical install on my laptop about 2 days ago and works great on there. Maybe something has updated in Testing since then?

Just did a fresh install of Archlinux. The problem is when I start Firefox nothing happens. I ran it in the terminal and it's segfaults . Can get the safe mode box up when I run firefox -safe-mode but when it try's to start it just segfaults. Anyone else have this problem and how can I sort this? Thanks in advance, Gordy

[arch-general] Using "python3 setup.py" in PKGBUILDs
by Aaron DeVore 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

I recently started creating/maintaining packages for the AUR. One request I've run up against is allowing users to relink /usr/bin/python to /usr/bin/python2, but still have package building work. Apparently the current policy is to use "python setup.py" for Python 3 packages, but that breaks Python 3 package building for users who relink. Using "python3 setup.py" fixes that problem. Could that policy change? I searched around for a conversation, but couldn't find anything. Also, the policy itself is undocumented in the wiki and /usr/share/pacman/PKGBUILD-python.proto. -Aaron DeVore

[arch-general] libre office java support
by Dennis Beekman 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

Libre Office seems to depend on the openjdk6 package but this package doesn't support applets in firefox and therefore i use the jre & jdk packages instead. When i installed the latest updates wich included Libre Office it removed the jre package in favor of the openjdk6 package. I have forced pacman to remove to openjdk package and install the jre and jdk packages instead... and Libre Office works fine (i see no diffirence at least). Is there any specific reason for Libre Office to use openjdk6 ? and can we perhaps change this to jre/jdk instead ?

by Tobias Powalowski 13 Apr '11

xfsprogs-3.1.5 (30 March 2011) - Polish translation update, thanks to Jakub Bogusz - xfs_repair now warns if running in low memory mode - Phase 2 of xfs_repair is now multithreaded - xfs_quota no longer attempts to get quota information if not enabled - Inode flags are now properly validated by xfs_repair - Metadump now obfuscates all file names reliably - xfs_io now supports the "fiemap" command, a more generic form of the "bmap" command - xfs_io now supports the "fpunch" command, as well as a "-p" flag to the "fallocate command. Both implement hole punching. Thanks to Josef Bacik - A number of other bug fixes thanks to Ajeet Yadav please signoff both arches, greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-general] Gnome3 and Gnome2
by Tom 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

So, now that Gnome 3 has been released, and after reading the announcement that it will 'by default' replace gnome2 in the near future, I'd like to ask if there are any plans on 'keeping' gnome2 around for use with arch linux. I ask this, because I've been using gnome3 from the unstable repository, and know, that a lot of people are not going to like the change, especially because so called 'fall-back-mode' is just a joke, and gnome-shell, at least to me is plain broken. I'm merely voicing my opinion here, no flames :-P But to have a choice would be great! Tom
