[arch-general] mkisofs question
by Jude DaShiell 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

Can any options be used with mkisofs to tell it if an single image will have a size larger than 1 dvd can hold, make as many additional images as necessary so that everything will fit on more than a single dvd? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jude <jdashiel-at-shellworld-dot-net> <http://www.shellworld.net/~jdashiel/nj.html>

[arch-general] a couple cdrecord questions
by Jude DaShiell 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

This is NEC hardware here and I'm always issued two warnings whenever I try to burn anything. The first is that input buffer cannot be read and the second is that the dma speed test is skipped. What things can I change in order to clear these warnings? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jude <jdashiel-at-shellworld-dot-net> <http://www.shellworld.net/~jdashiel/nj.html>

[arch-general] A bug reported, no response in two weeks
by Karol Blazewicz 31 Mar '12

31 Mar '12

There's a nasty typo in libgringotts PKGBUILD http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=… : 'pckage()' should be changed to 'package()', otherwise the package creates no files: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=137648 http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/libgringotts/files/ I've reported the bug on 14 March 2012 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28920 and I've got no response so far. I'm not sure what's going on, am I missing something? I can see that the change introducing this bug has been made by someone else than the current maintainer and the person the bug is assigned to http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/commit/trunk?h=package…

[arch-general] Funny issue with bash-completion and __git_ps1
by martin kalcher 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Hey hey After the last bash-completion and git update there is a funny issue with the Git Prompt [1]: __git_ps1 is not defined The bash-completion update moved most completion scripts to /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ and sources them if needed. See line 1933 in: /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion __git_ps1 is defined in: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git So if you type 'git pul<TAB>' this file gets sourced and the error disappears. I worked around this by sourcing this file manually in my .bashrc My question is, where i should report this bug. Is it a git problem or a bash-completion problem. I think its a git issue, because __git_ps1 is no complete function and should be defined somewhere else... Or shall i shut my mouth and continue sourcing it in my .bashrc?

by David C. Rankin 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Guys, After updates today (kernel 3.2.13 and xorg updates) and rebuilding vboxdrv, virtualbox crashed at the grub screen booting an archlinux guest with the message it was a fatal crash and that logs had been prepare and the .png of the screen at the time had also been saved in the VM directory. This is the first time I've seen a crash of this type. Anybody else experience this? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Grub2
by Paul Gideon Dann 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

With the latest Grub2 (grub2-efi-x86_64 1:2.00beta2-2), it seems that grub- mkconfig is not picking up my fallback initramfs any more, so there's no fallback option in the boot menu. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way of fixing it? Thanks, Paul

[arch-general] kernel 3.3 & khubd problem/freezing failed
by Genes MailLists 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

linux 3.3 from testing - fully updated from test repo. I had plugged my cell phone in to usb - a few times in and out. After unplugging, I closed laptop lid - the sleep light which normally flashes then goes steady to indicate laptop is sleeping did not. I opened lid - and found khubd process at 100% cpu. In earlier kernels there were some problems with usb if I attempted to sleep a laptop with a USB device plugged in - but i thought there were some fixes to this problem. Anyway - this is what got recorded in system log: Where is the preferred place to report this? thanks! gene./ =========== system log for khubd problem ============================ Mar 20 18:08:55 lap3 kernel: [75845.892579] EXT4-fs (dm-0): re-mounted.

[arch-general] libgl conflict with ati-dri, intel-dri, mach64-dri, ...
by David C. Rankin 27 Mar '12

Guys, On update today of an i686 box, I get the following unresolved error with pacman -Syu: error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: ati-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2 :: intel-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2 :: mach64-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2 :: mga-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2 :: r128-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2 :: savage-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2 :: sis-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2 :: tdfx-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2 Is this just a timing issue with the dri files? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
