[arch-general] USB mounted into "wrong" directory
by Vladimir Lomov 07 Apr '12

07 Apr '12

Hello, after system upgrade (seems after 2012-04-02) all USB flashes are mounted in /run/media/USER/LABEL instead of /media/LABEL that was previously. Is it intentional or is it a bug? Detailed information: OS: Archlinux x86_64 Repos: testing core extra community{,-testing} multilib{,-testing} Rel. soft: udev 181-9 systemd 44-4 libsystemd 44-4 initscripts-systemd v44.1-1 udisk 1.0.4-3 udisk2 1.93.0-1 The following packages (mentioned above) have been updated: 2012-04-02 ---------- udev 181-5 -> 181-9 libsystemd 44-1 -> 44-3 -> 44-4 udisk2 N/A -> 1.93.0-1 systemd 44-1 -> 44-3 -> 44-4 initscripts-systemd v38-2 -> v44-1 -> v44-2 -> v44.1-1 systemd-arch-units 20120317-1 -> 20120401-1 udisks 1.0.4-2 -> 1.0.4-3 How I mounting USB flash I run Openbox with autostarted dbus and consolekit (my user added to group 'storage'), I run pcmanfm or thunar or nautilus, plugin USB mounting it clikcing on label on left. P.S. Interestingly, mounting in Dolphin works as usual (flashes are mounted in /media/LABEL). --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov -- Nowlan's Theory: He who hesitates is not only lost, but several miles from the next freeway exit.

[arch-general] Eclipse-cdt updates
by Alexandre Ferrando 06 Apr '12

06 Apr '12

In the past few days I've noticed something kind of strange with eclipse-cdt on the packages page [ 0 ]. Also this can be seen if you follow the rss feed for updates. A few times every day since april 1st or so the eclipse-cdt package gets updated or downgraded from 8.0.1-2 to 8.0.2-1 and vice-versa. The last commit on the SVN page shows the PKGBUILD for 8.0.2-1 [ 1 ] I tend to update once a day, but in any of those updates I've got 8.0.2-1, as if that version didn't reach the mirrors. Has anyone else noticed something like this or knows what is happening there? Just asking, Alex.

by Gordy Campbell 06 Apr '12

Hi all, My problem is that there is no battery indicator in the top panel anymore. I did: [gordy@archbox ~]$ dmesg | grep battery [ 11.595405] ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT0] (battery present) So I know the battery is present. Also the laptop wont suspend anymore when I close the lid. The system is completely updated. Thanks for any help, Gordy info: Gnome 3.4 all updated with Testing enabled.

[arch-general] Parallels 7 Tools
by Joshua Poehls 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

I just installed Arch in Parallels 7 following the beginner's guide on the wiki. Went great and I'm up and running (without xorg so far). I want to install the Parallels Tools but I'm having some problems. I've mounted the tools but the install script is failing with a rather generic error "Some components are missing, do you want to try and download?" -> "Installer cannot detect package manager...". I found the wiki page for Parallels ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Parallels) but it isn't helping me so far. Has anyone gotten this to work? Any help would be great. Thanks! -- Joshua Poehls

Hey There, I've installed an Arch Linux server in our office for serving files over the network via Bonjour/avahi. All computers are connected to an ADSL modem via wireless. Only the server is connected via LAN. When I start the server, I can ping it: --- CMD OUTPUT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ ping office.local PING office.local (192.168.1.107): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.1.107: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=1.080 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.107: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.671 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.107: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.979 ms ^C --- office.local ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.979/1.243/1.671/0.305 ms $ ping 192.168.1.107 PING 192.168.1.107 (192.168.1.107): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.1.107: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=1.194 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.107: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.229 ms ^C --- 192.168.1.107 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 1.194/1.212/1.229/0.017 ms After a few minutes however I can't ping it using the .local address: *$ ping office.local* *ping: cannot resolve office.local: Unknown host* $ ping 192.168.1.107 PING 192.168.1.107 (192.168.1.107): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.1.107: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=1.375 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.107: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.562 ms ^C --- 192.168.1.107 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 1.375/1.469/1.562/0.094 ms --- CMD OUTPUT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If I restart avahi-daemon, we can ping office.local for another few minutes.

[arch-general] how many virtual machines
by Nicholas MIller 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

hello I currently host my personal webpage from a virtual machine at my house. I am looking to add a mailserver as well as an irc server. however I don't know if I should be using a separate vmachine for each service. I am more concerned about security than resource use. however the publicly reachable IP I have is through an external vpn provider (i believe it is strong vpn). any ideas suggestions would be appreciated.
