[arch-general] Dell latitude and keyboard problem
by Sławek Kapłoński 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

Hello, I have Arch linux installed on Dell latitude e7440 laptop. Generally almost everything works fine but I have one annoying problem. When I type something on keyboard, sometimes (randomly) random key is "blocked" like it was pressed all time (for example when I wroteeeeeeeeeeee something). This stops when I press any other (or even the same) key once again. I test it on Windows 7 (not for long time but in similar time on linux this problem appear) and there was no problem on Win. I have no idea what could be a reason of that problem and how to debug or diagnose it. Maybe someone of You had same problem on will have some idea how to start searching reason of that :) I will be graceful for any help :) -- Pozdrawiam, Sławek Kapłoński slawek(a)kaplonski.pl -- Klucz GPG można pobrać ze strony: http://kaplonski.pl/files/slawek_kaplonski.pub.key -- My public GPG key can be downloaded from: http://kaplonski.pl/files/slawek_kaplonski.pub.key

[arch-general] [Berlin]ArchLinux User Group
by akendo＠akendo.eu 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

Hello everyone, I have seen an increased interests in Arch Linux by a lot of users lately. While I'm already exchanging with some of my friends regards this a lot, more and more are coming. So I thought about create a (for now) monthly appointment where we can met to talk, help and work on ArchLinux or just be around. It should be nothing special. On the 1 of October I like you to invite everyone to the first "ArchLinux User Group" meeting in Berlin. At least the first I'm with me ';-). I hope to host it in the c-base[1]. There will be no agenda and no plan for this. Just bring yourself. The only thing that you have to take care: to be excellent to each other! Feel free to join us on the IRC on Freenode #Archlinux-berlin [1]https://c-base.org/ best regards Akendo

Good evening, I'm having trouble with my pacman-keyring which in the end prevents me from installing signed packages. Here's the output: pacman-key --populate archlinux ==> Appending keys from archlinux.gpg... ==> Locally signing trusted keys in keyring... -> Locally signing key FOO ==> ERROR: FOO could not be locally signed. Any hints? Thanks Frank

Any pointers? Eugenio

Can someone help me? Best regards, Heiko

[arch-general] Laptop overheating causes decreased CPU performance until reboot (even after cooling)
by Anish Shankar 04 Sep '14

04 Sep '14

Hi, I have a dell 1564 laptop with an i5-M430 cpu, running arch linux. For a long while now I've had issues with very degraded CPU performance if my cpu temperature is very hot till around ~95 degree Celsius. The problem is that the degraded cpu performance stays inspite of cooling down back to 60 degrees, and even multiple suspend-resume cycles. The only way to reset the same is a reboot. I can't seem to track down the cause of this. The cpu frequency etc. look normal, all 4 vitual-cpu's are active from cpuinfo. top reports nearly 5x increased % cpu usage for process compared to what they normally use. Some simple CPU benchmarks (N-Queens) also take approximately 5 times longer. I'm using kernel: 3.14.6-1-ARCH 64bit Can you suggest some ways to track down this issue? or alternatively a way to reset this so that I don't need to reboot to restore performance. The issue is reproducable (I just need to use the CPU at max, for a while to overheat it), so I can provide any logs etc. if it will help to find the cause. I also previously posted with some more details on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=183236 without any response.
