[arch-general] After kdelibs and workspace last package updates KDE is not working properly.
by Álvaro Villalba Navarro 29 May '11

29 May '11

Hi list, I upgraded kdelibs, kdeworkspace, kdeedu and networkmanagement plasmoid yesterday (except for the last one, it was just a package upgrade) and after that the kde cookies service is not working anymore (neither for konqueror nor for rekonq). System tray now has the old colorful icons, instead of the 4.6 white and minimalist ones (that's not an really an issue, it's just weird), and everytime I try to enable the networkmanagement plasmoid the whole plasma crashes and reboots without the plasmoid enabled. I've noticed more weird things in its behaviour, but I don't remember it now, so if it happens again I'll say it here. Has anybody the same problem? Does anybody know what this package upgrade was supposed to do? -- Álvaro Villalba Navarro

[arch-general] Light modification needed for future LibreOffice language package.
by Frederic Bezies 28 May '11

28 May '11

Hello. I've built successfully LibreOffice 3.4.0rc2, using testing version of PKGBUILD and related files. The only hard point was to make translation building too. There is a light modification to be added in every single language package script. Instead of having for every language : cd "${srcdir}"/LibO_3.3.2rc2_Linux_x86_langpack-rpm_as/RPMS mkdir -p "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib/libreoffice/basis-link cp -R opt/libreoffice/basis${_oomainver}/* "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib/libreoffice/basis-link cp -R opt/libreoffice/{program,readmes} "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib/libreoffice you must use - for 3.4.0rc2, needs to be adapted, first line at least : cd "${srcdir}"/LibO_3.4.0rc2_Linux_x86_langpack-rpm_fr/RPMS mkdir -p "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib/libreoffice/basis-link cp -R opt/libreoffice${_oomainver}/basis${_oomainver}/* "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib/libreoffice/basis-link cp -R opt/libreoffice${_oomainver}/readmes "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib/libreoffice Programs are not anymore in /opt/libreoffice, but in /opt/libreoffice/basis. Just want to help. Feel free to copy / redirect this message where needed ;) Have a good day. -- Frederic Bezies - fredbezies(a)gmail.com Blog : http://frederic.bezies.free.fr/blog/

[arch-general] Unable to change file and folder icon theme to Human
by Madhurya Kakati 28 May '11

28 May '11

Hi, I am using archlinux with gnome 3. I am trying hard to change my icon theme to human but it just doesnt change. ~/.gtkrc-2.0 http://pastie.org/1983860 and ~/.gtkrc.mine http://pastie.org/1983863. I tried lxappearance too. After I click on apply and close it gnome kinda restarts and when i open nautilus it shows no change. I had tango icon theme so i deleted that dir from /usr/share/icons. Now it has switched to the default gnome icon theme. How do i change it to Human icon theme? also when i run pcmanfm i get the following output in terminal ** (pcmanfm:3532): DEBUG: unable to load icon . GThemedIcon application-x-bittorrent gnome-mime-application-x-bittorrent application-x-generic ** (pcmanfm:3532): DEBUG: unable to load icon . GThemedIcon application-x-xpinstall gnome-mime-application-x-xpinstall application-x-generic

[arch-general] dmraid fail after update to 2.6.38-7.1 - Fallback OK - Sleep hook needed after udev needed?
by David C. Rankin 28 May '11

28 May '11

Tobias, Thomas, all, After update to 2.6.38-7.1 I am experiencing a dmraid failure. It also affects the LTS kernel. The Fallback image boots fine. The failure produces the following error (retyped from RAMFS console): boot messages: Activating dmraid arrays... no block devices found Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/mapper/nvidia_baaccajap5 Root device '/dev/mapper/nvidia_baaccajap5' doesn't exist attempting to create it. Error: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device '/dev/mapper/nvidia_baaccajap5' In the past, Thomas has mentioned: <quote> This might just be a timing problem: dmraid -ay might be called before /dev/sd* is fully set up and detected - we had these problems in the past already. The 'sleep' hook put after the udev hook can work around that. </quote> I'll give the sleep hook a go and report back. I have updated 3 dmraid systems with 2.6.38-7.1 and I only have this problem on one box. (2 - x86_64, 1 - i686). Since Fallback works fine, this seems like the timing problem. If anyone else can confirm this or suggest additional tests, I'm happy to try them. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] KDE 4.7beta1 in [kde-unstable]
by Andrea Scarpino 26 May '11

26 May '11

Hi all, the first beta of the new major release of KDE 4.7 is out and is already packaged in [kde-unstable]. As you already know KDE is (slowly) moving to GIT; with this transition some KDE module has been splitted into subprojects, others modules will be splitted during this beta cycle and others modules will be splitted before KDE 4.8. The result of this is that some package (e.g. kdegraphics-libs) is now splitted in several packages and each conflicts with the old, so you have to remove it when pacman asks for its removal during the update. See the KDE announcement[1] for upstream changes. Arch Linux Changes: - kdegraphics-libs is now splitted in: kdegraphics-ksaneplugin, kdegraphics- strigi-analyzer, kdegraphics-svgpart, kdegraphics-thumbnailers, libkdcraw, libkexiv2, libkipi, libksane - kdebindings-csharp is now splitted in: kdebindings-qyoto, kdebindings-kimono - kdebindings-ruby is now splitted in: kdebindings-qtruby, kdebindings- korundum - kdebindings-smoke is now splitted in: kdebindings-smokegen, kdebindings- smokeqt, kdebindings-smokekde - New packages: kdebindings-kimono, kdebindings-korundum, kdebindings-perlkde, kdebindings-perlqt, kdebindings-qtruby, kdebindings-qyoto, kdebindings- smokegen, kdebindings-smokekde, kdebindings-smokeqt, kdebase-konq-plugins, kde-wallpapers, libkface, libkmap - kdeedu-libkdeedu and kdeedu-data are both replaced by libkdeedu - kdeaccessibility-colorschemes is replaced by kdeartwork-colorschemes - kdeaccessibility-iconthemes is replaced by kdeartwork-iconthemes The following packages depend on kdegraphics-libs and thus are now broken: - digikam (now depends on 'libkexiv2') - kipi-plugins (now depends on 'libkexiv2' 'libkdcraw' 'libkipi' 'libksane') - koffice-krita (now depends on 'libkdcraw') - skanlite (now depends on 'libksane') - tellico (now depends on 'libksane') - kphotoalbum (now depends on 'libkdcraw' 'libkipi') Read the wiki page[2] about [kde-unstable] if you want to use these packages, please remember [testing] is needed and follow arch-dev-public. I started a new thread about KDE 4.7 here[3]. Also, the first beta of the Calligra Suite is in [kde-unstable] since May 19th and packages are built to replace the KOffice suite. Please use the thread[4] about Calligra to report packaging bugs. Please report any packaging bug to https://bugs.archlinux.org. KDE bugs to https://bugs.kde.org.

[arch-general] Status of kernel26-2.6.39-1 in [testing]?
by Marek Otahal 25 May '11

25 May '11

Hi, I wanted to ask what's happening with current kernel in testing? I can get it from testing repositories for about two days, but haven't seen a sign-off thread yet. The reason I'm asking is that I wanted to say NOsignoff for me on i686. The boot process gets stuck at 'loading modules' before stage 3. Tried - fallback - the same. I'll post more info if needed (but I suppose you also know it's broken..). Thanks, Mark -- Marek Otahal :o)
