Hi guys, After more than two months ago Lyx [1] released the version 2.1.4 [2], this is a minor and maintenance release (strongly recommended), in august, and after flagged as out-date and wait some days, I contacted with the maintainer (Ronald) and he didn't answer me (I understand, maybe he is busy) I tested for more of two months and this release work fine, I would like to be the maintainer of this package but I am not TU. Regards [1] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/lyx/ [2] http://www.lyx.org/News -- Xavier Corredor Llano ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Lyx 2.1.4 Date: Saturday, August 15, 2015, 07:11:42 PM From: Xavier Corredor Llano <xavier.corredor.llano(a)gmail.com> To: ronald(a)archlinux.org Hi Ronald! I have tested the Lyx [1] version 2.1.4 with the PKGBUILD attachment and work fine.

[arch-general] Building in docker?
by Magnus Therning 27 Apr '16

27 Apr '16

For various reasons I'm looking into not using `makechrootpkg` when building the 200+ packages I put into a non-official repo. Obviously it's important to keep the building environment separate from my ordinary system environment. Going to full virtualisation is definitely overkill and the only containers I know of are chroots and docker. Docker has some nice attributes, in particular no need for root access. However, I don't know a whole lot about it, so I wonder are there any aspects to it that makes it a bad choice for building packages? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Heuristic is an algorithm in a clown suit.

[arch-general] Smartcard troubles on Arch
by Mathias Huber 18 Mar '16

18 Mar '16

Dear Archers, I am trying to get my Gemalto USB Shell Token V2 (GPG-Smartcard-Reader in a USB-Stick) to work on Arch. I've set up Udev in the way I did successfully in Ubuntu 12.04.LTS. However, no success. I am still trying to figure out where the trouble lies. I can never see the card using gpg --card-status But sometimes I see its fields when using pcscs_scan. Possible culprits: pcscd, which sometimes gives errors, gpg's USB support? Has anyone had success in setting up this reader or similar smartcard readers? Or had similar troubles? I would love to hear from you. Best, Mathias

[arch-general] Thunar sftp connection not working - access denied
by Friedrich Strohmaier 15 Nov '15

15 Nov '15

Hi Folks, since some time I cannot get thunar connect my remote servers folders via sftp. Error dialog: Failed to open "/my/remote/path on my.server" access denied ssh access works as expected. I feel like it stopped working after I got this arch announce: https://www.archlinux.org/news/d-bus-now-launches-user-buses/ System: recent arch x86_64 xfce4 4.12 I didn't find anything useful by net search, so my question here: Did anyone else get hit by this? Is there likely a relation to changes in D-Bus. Any hint to nail down this one appreciated. -- Friedrich

[arch-general] Kernel 4.2.5-1-ARCH max CPU temperature
by Dennis Lange 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

Hi everybody, I am using an i7-2600K and since Kernel: 4.2.5-1-ARCH my CPU temperature goes up to 98°C. Before 4.2.5-1 lm_sensors max temperature was around 64°C. First I examine my CPU fan, but it works like before. Any idea why this is happening?

[arch-general] Infinality repositories seems to break upgrade (could not satisfy dependencies).
by Maxim Lacrima 29 Oct '15

Hi, I use infinality for better font rendering, but looks like it breaks system upgrade. sudo pacman -Syu :: Synchronizing package databases... core is up to date extra is up to date community is up to date infinality-bundle is up to date infinality-bundle-fonts is up to date :: Starting full system upgrade... :: Replace ttf-noto-sans-ib with infinality-bundle-fonts/ttf-noto-fonts-ib? [Y/n] :: Replace ttf-noto-sans-multilang-ib with infinality-bundle-fonts/ttf-noto-fonts-nonlatin-ib? [Y/n] :: Replace ttf-noto-serif-ib with infinality-bundle-fonts/ttf-noto-fonts-ib? [Y/n] resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: ttf-noto-serif-multilang-ib: requires ttf-noto-serif-ib Should I just disable infinality repositories and enable them later, when it is fixed? Thank you -- Regards, Maxim

Re: [arch-general] Can't login after upgrading ncurses but not bash (partial upgrade)
by Nick Andryshak 29 Oct '15

29 Oct '15

Thanks Simon, this is what I ended up doing. My provider (DigitalOcean) mounted an Arch ISO for me, and allowed me to boot into it using the console access from their control panel. I was then by able to repair the installation by mounting my system and using pacman with the --root, --cache-dir and --config switches pointed at my install.

[arch-general] i3 and .zprofile
by Stefan Tatschner 27 Oct '15

27 Oct '15

Hi, I have recently switched from gnome to i3. I really like it, but there are still a few annoying problems left… Currently I use gdm to login; my login shell is set to zsh in /etc/passwd. I have several dotfiles, like ".zshrc" and ".zprofile" in $HOME. The problem is, that i3 does not seem to spawn a login shell correctly (is this even possible?). In gnome3 my settings in .zprofile are applied globally and just fine. In i3 the entire .zprofile is missed. Since .zprofile is sourced by interactive login shells, I guess that there might be a problem. Am I missing something here? Thanks, Stefan

If you have a 'network boot' or 'boot from ISO' feature, you could use it and reinstall bash with pacstrap from there. Simon
