[arch-general] Last dbus upgrade in testing busting gnome-online-accounts ?
by fredbezies 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

I noticed something strange since last dbus upgrade : my online accounts keeps on expiring. I try to delete and recreate my online account, but after one or two minutes, I got a message that "an online account needs attention". Got this in my /var/log/everything.log : Dec 3 18:41:29 localhost dbus[333]: [system] Reloaded configuration Dec 3 18:41:29 localhost dbus-daemon[333]: dbus[333]: [system] Reloaded configuration Dec 3 18:41:29 localhost dbus[333]: [system] Reloaded configuration Dec 3 18:42:02 localhost goa[690]: /org/gnome/OnlineAccounts/Accounts/account_1354556510: Setting AttentionNeeded to TRUE because EnsureCredentials() failed with: Credentials not found in keyring (goa-error-quark, 0): Failed to retrieve credentials from the keyring (goa-error-quark, 4) [goadaemon.c:1248, ensure_credentials_cb()] Kinda related to last dbus update ?! -- Frederic Bezies fredbezies(a)gmail.com

Is there a recommended way to update an existing USB install medium (without overwriting other files?), or should I just follow the steps at [1], and update the syslinux configs each time?

Just a brief note to thank Tobias, the kernel team and all the early adopters/testers since I found this kernel is working really well. Thanks to all guys.

[arch-general] Nouveau and nvidia simultaneously - is this still a good idea?
by Oon-Ee Ng 01 Dec '12

Referring to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=92530 Basically the idea was to have nvidia-utils and libgl packages which do not conflict (and don't contain the libgl.so, and, I suppose, the libglx.so symlinks). The user would then have to change symlinks manually (see [1]) to use either nvidia or nouveau after an X restart. Does anyone do it this way? Is there some possible 'gotcha' I'd face trying to do this? My reasons? To see if I can (and also because I finally got round to checking nouveau's latest updates, and it seems my card is just about fully supported except for power saving). [1a] - I'd guess making /usr/lib/libGL.so point at libGL.so.1 and changing /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 to point to either libGL.so.1.2.0 (for current libgl) or libGL.so.310.19 (for current nvidia-beta) is one thing that needs to be done [1b] - The other conflict seems to require /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so to point to either libglx.xorg (for current libgl) or libglx.so.310.19 (for current nvidia-beta) [1c] - Remove nouveau blacklist (or comment it out)
