[arch-general] Fuse and out-of-date packages in general
by Anatol Pomozov 11 Nov '12

11 Nov '12

Hi, fuse 2.9.2 was released a while ago. This release contains important bug-fix for deadlock and there are arch users that wait for this version https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=146157 Some time ago I marked the package as out-of-date https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/fuse/ But the package maintainer seems busy and ignores this package. Is there any way to force upgrading fuse? Actually I have more general question. There are many out-of-date packages that are not updated for a long time. Should other (non-package owners) take care of it? Is there any way for non Arch developers participate in package maintenance? I keep in mind something like MacPorts or Homebrew [1] where anyone can easily send a package update that can be reviewed and submitted to repo by developers. I found this is a great way to involve more people into project, for example I would be happy to send an update to fuse package. But I cannot find such instructions for Arch contributors.

[arch-general] gnome-keyring on non DE not finding a place to import certificates.
by Javier Vasquez 11 Nov '12

11 Nov '12

Hi, I don't use any DE, just plain fluxbox, and I have in my .xinitrc: ------------------------------------- # Gnome-KeyRing eval "`gnome-keyring-daemon -c pkcs11,secrets,ssh,gpg -s`" #eval "`gnome-keyring-daemon -s`" export GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL export SSH_AUTH_SOCK export GPG_AGENT_INFO export GNOME_KEYRING_PID # Call the windows manager exec startfluxbox ------------------------------------- I've exchanged between using or not using "-c" option there... Any time I attempt to import a cert I get: gnome-keyring import <my_p12_cert>.p12 ... gnome-keyring: couldn't find any place to import files I have no clue how to address this... Any hint would be great... Thanks, -- Javier.

[arch-general] per-application streaming+recording+listening using pulseaudio
by Kyle 10 Nov '12

10 Nov '12

I need to be able to send a couple of applications (TeamTalk and either sox or audacious) to an icecast server and my local sound card at the same time, while also recording their output in audacity or another recording application, sox again may work here. I was able to find some information[1] that sometimes allowed me to stream to the icecast server, but even when it worked, the output of the application I moved to the streaming pulseaudio sink was no longer playing on the sound card, because it's sending the monitor of the null sink to the icecast server. I need to be able to either copy the output back to my local sound card, or setup an entirely new virtual sound card where I can move only the individual applications I want to record and stream, while also being able to hear the output on my sound card. Any help or links to some documentation that can show me how to do this would be greatly appreciated. I'm also open to any other suggestions I may not have thought of yet, including non-pulse-specific methods.

Hey guys, I just removed gnome as it was quite heavy for my laptop and installed xfce. I remember there was a page on the wiki with some recommendations about WiFi management, system monitor etv. But I can't seem to find it. Anyone got some proposals? Thanks

[arch-general] Qingy on systemd
by David Rosenstrauch 09 Nov '12

09 Nov '12

I recently switched over to systemd, and am trying to get my system set up the way I like under there. I'm trying to set up qingy on systemd right now, but it doesn't seem to be working properly. I followed the instructions here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Qingy#Systemd ... and tried to set up qingy on tty6. But that doesn't seem to work. The systemctl command seems to always try to set up qingy on tty1: [darose@daroselin ~]$ sudo systemctl enable qingy@tty6 ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/qingy@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/qingy(a)tty1.service' In addition, qingy seems to be freezing on me whenever I try to access it on the tty. Anyone have any idea what's going on with this? I didn't see any bug reports about it. Thanks, DR

[arch-general] kernel oops on resume: 3.6.2-1+systemd+kde
by Genes MailLists 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

I have started getting kernel oops yesterday. This started after fully updated testing repo and switch to systemd over last weekend. I'm running kde. Bug is filed as shown below with screenshot which I managed to capture of the OOPS from today's crash. Laptop is sandy bridge i7 (lenovo w520) - details are filed in bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/32014 I added 7 attachments but I cannot see them in the bug report for some reason. (screen shot, lspci, lsmod, /proc/cpuinfo, /proc/iomem, /proc/ioports, scripts/ver_linux) Question: Are the uploaded attachments not visible to me - or do I need to put them on a web server somewhere? Thanks. gene/

[arch-general] USB Flash drive problems
by P .NIKOLIC 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hi . Just purchased several SanDisk 4Gb Cruzer Blade USB flash drives but can not access any of them . the only error report i can find just says An error occurred while accessing `3.7GiB Removable Media`, the system responded: An unspecified error has occurred.: Not Authorized This happens both as user or root , any other non SanDisk flash drive is fine . I was hoping to put music on them for the car as the system incar can only read 4 Gb Max drives these seemed ideal look like they may bee a bummer . Any tips anyone ..

[arch-general] Setting prefered voice for espeakup
by Storm Dragon 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to set the default voice for espeakup? I have enabled the service file, which works great, and I have edited the file in /etc/conf.d/espeakup and added --default-voice=en-us to the args, but it still uses the default (UK) voice. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
