[arch-general] Bachelor thesis
by Luštický Josef 10 Jun '11

10 Jun '11

Hello everyone, I'm Josef Lusticky and I'd like to write a Bachelor thesis about operating systems. I'm student of Faculty of Information Technology in Brno, Czech Republic and I have been using Linux since 2006 and Archlinux since 2008. I'm enthuasistic user of Arch and Linux in general and I'd like to help this project by improving or creating some stuff. I'd like to implement some driver or port of app. I know C, assembly and some scripting languages. Yes, I know there is the pacman package signing feature missing, but I do not consider it work for one person and I would rather work on something like userspace tools needed for kernel (e.g. filesystem tools, etc.). Can you recommand me something good for my skills? Best regards, Josef Lusticky

[arch-general] pacman tries to install nvidia drivers?
by John K Pate 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Hello all, I don't have an nvidia graphics card: $ lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) Yet when I try to update (with -Syyu just to be sure), I get: $ sudo pacman -Syyu :: Synchronising package databases... core 37.9K 96.0K/s 00:00:00 [##################################################################] 100% extra 469.7K 855.7K/s 00:00:01 [##################################################################] 100% community 439.4K 3.6M/s 00:00:00 [##################################################################] 100% multilib 25.0K 888.7K/s 00:00:00 [##################################################################] 100% :: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... warning: dependency cycle detected: warning: lib32-gcc-libs will be installed before its gcc-libs-multilib dependency looking for inter-conflicts... :: nvidia-utils and libgl are in conflict. Remove libgl? [y/N] y error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: intel-dri: requires libgl=7.10.2 Why does pacman try to install nvidia-utils for me? I have intel-dri installed and my graphics work fine. I assume the dependency cycle is unrelated...

[arch-general] Reporting for [extra] packages?
by Simon Perry 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Hi, I need to file a bug against unison, which is in the extra repo, and was wondering whether I just put it under "Arch Linux" or perhaps "Community Packages" in the bug tracker? Cheers. P.S. It looks like it was compiled with the testing repo enabled: % unison --help unison: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by unison) -- Simon Perry (aka Pezz)

Tom: I've looked at the examples for netcfg, the netcfg article on the wiki, and the man page and I'm apparently missing something. The example for a wired config shows a single DNS server entry. Does netcfg support multiple DNS server entrys? Myra

I created lirc-utils-git [1] in AUR to work around the compile errors. I don't need the main lirc package as my remote is supported in the kernel. To compile I had to remove the lirc_atiusb, lirc_i2c and lirc_wpc8769l drivers. Hope this helps, Mark [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49301
