Hi, I'm sure I must be missing something obvious but: What are the default keyboard shortcuts, in GTK2, to paste the PRIMARY/CLIPBOARD X clipboards? Cheers, -- Bastien

[arch-general] Any suggestions on frequently rebuilding a git package?
by XeCycle 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Hi, I build Emacs from git quite frequently, about twice a month or so. However the PKGBUILD from AUR rebuilds everything each time, which takes too many time I think. Perhaps Emacs is small, but I think there should be a way to prevent too many rebuilds --- is that possible? -- Carl Lei (XeCycle) Department of Physics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University OpenPGP public key: 7795E591 Fingerprint: 1FB6 7F1F D45D F681 C845 27F7 8D71 8EC4 7795 E591

I have /etc/mtab as a symlink for quite some time, since I moved to systemd, and haven't noticed any problems with encfs or sshfs - both of which are fuse filesystems -- дамјан

[arch-general] What about nvidia drivers 275.28 and Xorg 1.11 ?
by fredbezies 15 Sep '11

15 Sep '11

Hello. As I am using testing and a nVidia graphic card, I had to use NouVeau in order to get xorg 1.11 working. I saw that a new driver was released, fixing the compatibility problem, nvidia 275.28 : http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=166025 Any tests going on it ? I wanted to build a version on my computer to see if it works, but I want some feedback before. Any infos ? Thanks a lot ! -- Frederic Bezies fredbezies(a)gmail.com

[arch-general] Nvidia drivers.
by Frederic Bezies 15 Sep '11

Sorry for answering this way, I enabled digest version of this mailing list. Thanks Ionut for the info. I build by myself new nvidia drivers, and there working quite right. So, I will wait until next xorg release, keeping fingers crossed meanwhile. Have a good day. -- Frederic Bezies - fredbezies(a)gmail.com Blog : http://frederic.bezies.free.fr/blog/

[arch-general] ejecting after cdparanoia
by Jorge Almeida 15 Sep '11

15 Sep '11

I just used cdparanoia (for the very first time) and I tried to eject the CD by pressing the button. Nothing happens. I can eject the CD with "eject /dev/sr0", so it's not really a big problem. I just wonder whether this behavior is normal. I'm used to cdda2wav (from cdrtools), and it never happened, that I recall. Note that cdparanoia ended normally ( and successfully, BTW). I run it with speed 1.
