[arch-general] xcompmgr/compton + compositing + fluxbox
by Javier Vasquez 10 Nov '15

10 Nov '15

Hi, To enable the Xorg compositing extension with plain fluxbox (no DE), and be able to use true transparency, I'm using compton (I've used xcompmgr with worse results), but I experience some problems: 1.- At times, though fluxbox is still up and running, it stops managing the non GTK/QT applications, such xterm or rxvt-unicode. The only way to get fluxbox to start controlling them again is through a fluxbox restart. 2.- At times, when restarting fluxbox due to [1], the X session dies, and a new login is required. As I said, with xcompmgr the problems show up more often, both [1] and [2]. That's why I keep using compton. Any idea on how to avoid these problems? In case, I'm calling compton in my ~/.xinitrc, prior to calling startfluxbox, like this: compton -bc -o 0.22 -m 0.88 & I'm not having any particular Xorg configuration to enable compositing. Some fluxbox setting to take advantage of transparency: session.screen0.menu.alpha: 210 session.screen0.slit.alpha: 210 session.screen0.window.unfocus.alpha: 215 session.screen0.toolbar.alpha: 210 For rxvt-unicode: URxvt*.depth: 32 URxvt*.background: [88]#000000 And for conky: own_window_argb_visual = true, own_window_transparent = true, Don't think those settings will help anything, but just in case... Thanks, -- Javier

[arch-general] [mkinitcpio] keeping modules added by install file
by Mauro Santos 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

I'm working on install and hook files for mkinitcpio and I'm adding some modules to the initramfs image with the install file. My problem is that the modules I add with the install file get removed when the autodetect hook runs. Is there any way to keep some modules when the autodetect hook runs as if they were defined in the MODULES array in mkinitcpio.conf? I know I'm seeing the expected behavior but I need some modules to be included in the initramfs even if they are not in use in the running system, and it would be nice to have the smallest initramfs as possible. -- Mauro Santos

[arch-general] Long-term offline Arch system
by Aron Widforss 07 Nov '15

07 Nov '15

Hi, I'm going out for a four month hike next spring, and will not bring my loved XPS with me. It struck me yesterday that being offline for four months is something pacman and yaourt might not like. How do these programs handle long-term stasis, will things break horribly when I come back and run an update? Is there anything I can do to avoid it? Best regards, Aron Widforss

[arch-general] Kernel 4.2.5-1-ARCH max CPU temperature
by Dennis Lange 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?
