[arch-general] OT: Any equivalent thing to "google +1 button" for midori?
by Javier Vasquez 06 Mar '14

Hi, On firefox there's a pretty neat extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-plus-one or: www.pretty-tools.com However that's clearly a mozilla extension, not a plugin. I'm wondering if anyone is aware of any alternative for midori. Thanks, -- Javier.

Yet, there is no bug report open regarding > any problems with bbswitch. Hmm, sorry for not reading the original mail in full. I pasted the link just for the depmod message part, and totally missed the point that OP was trying to diagnose his bbswitch just as those on the bug report... Regards, Felix Yan Appreciate your attention. So it seems that bbswitch or some other programs which would give me that report when I execute it may rely on the module called "vhci", while this module have something wrong now, and I can't fix it unless waiting for the update. I had searched the bug via Google but no solution was found to fix it.

[arch-general] Network-Issues after last updates
by Ruben Kelevra 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Hi there, I got network-issues on my servers after the last upgrades (1-2 weeks). I found very few time to upgrade my servers more often the last days ... so I did systemd 208->210 and linux 3.12.9 to 3.13.x upgrade together. I still using netcfg to staticly configure my cards, the only hw-card was eth0 and now named ens3, which was the first problem on that upgrade ... changing eth0 to ens3 in configuration still wont fix the problem... I'm now upgrading to networkd or netctl, but since I'm not the only in IRC which got the problem you might consider to send out a warning for this might happen. Best regards Ruben

[arch-general] xbacklight broken in 3.13
by Michael Hauser 02 Mar '14

02 Mar '14

Hi, after update to kernel 3.13, xbacklight fails to adjust the brightness on my Asus EeePc 1015 PX; anyone in the same boat? echoing a number into: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness updates the value as expected, only it doesn't really do anything. Fell back to using the pci method (as described in the wiki) to reduce the glare for the time being. Regards, mih -- 'aware water' is an anagram for 'we are at war'

[arch-general] Xorg doesn't start
by arno 01 Mar '14

01 Mar '14

Hi, I am install archlinux on my laptop, and I can't get my graphical card to work (Xorg doesn't start). My card is an ati hd 6750 I've installed xf86-video-ati, xorg-xserver and xorg-xinit. But when I try to run startx, xorg doesn't start, and I get a fatal error: no screens found. Here is the full Xorg log: http://renevier.net/tmp/Xorg.0.log.txt I tried to use catalyst as described on the wiki, but when trying to run aticonfig, I get the following error: no supported adapters detected lspci -v gives me: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Whistler [Radeon HD 6630M/6650M/6750M/7670M/7690M] (rev ff) (prog-if ff) !!! Unknown header type 7f Kernel driver in use: radeon Kernel modules: radeon, fglrx I also need to mention that when I boot from the install cd, then mount my archlinux system and chroot into it, lspci -v gives me: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Whistler [Radeon HD 6630M/6650M/6750M/7670M/7690M] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Samsung Electronics Co Ltd Radeon HD 6750M Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 51 Memory at a0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Memory at c0700000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] I/O ports at 3000 [size=256] Expansion ROM at c0720000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [58] Express Legacy Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [a0] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [100] Vendor Specific Information: ID=0001 Rev=1 Len=010 <?> Capabilities: [150] Advanced Error Reporting Kernel driver in use: radeon So this brings me to my first subquestion: why does lspci work fine when booting from the install/repair CD, but displays "Unknown header type" when booting from my installed system? And my main question is of course: what could I do to get my card working, and X starting? thanks a lot.

[arch-general] Is it possible to update 3rd party repo index without updating all?
by David C. Rankin 01 Mar '14

01 Mar '14

All, I would like to update a 3rd party repo index WITHOUT updating any other index. Like adding a --repo option to 'Pacman -Sy'. e.g. Pacman -Sy -r somerepo This would be handy when you want to update a 3rd party index and install updated packages WITHOUT updating core, community, extra... to avoid having to do a full system update just to get new packages from a non-arch repo. There are times when I just want to install a new external package or set of packages but not do a full update involving the kernel, etc. I've looked at all the pacman options and there does not seem to be a way to do this. (Yes - I do understand why all Arch repos must be updated together in order to avoid the partial-update issues) But, with a 3rd party repo, that isn't a concern. Is there a way to do this via pacman, and if not, is there a way to manually download the new 3rd party index and add it to the cache to accomplish the same thing? Like just replacing the current .db index in /var/lib/cache/pacman/sync with the new one?[1] What say the experts? Footnotes: [1] I am asking before trying to avoid screwing something up, so no, I haven't tried it yet. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
