Hi, libxcb 1.12 has been pushed into [extra], but depends on xcb-proto >= 1.12 which is still in [testing]. Is that a sync issue or a mistake? Thanks, Bruno

Re: [arch-general] question from a new member

Hello all. The question was slightly misunderstood. I'm the friend that rosanna mentioned was helping her. The actual situation is that we were trying to install talking arch and the installer will not talk. I have vmware workstation player on her computer and set up a vm for it. However, when connecting the cd and booting the vm there is no audio. The distro used was downloaded from here. https://talkingarch.tk/download.php Any thoughts? > Subject: Re: [arch-general] question from a new member > Date: Wed, 25 May 2016 17:52:58 -0700 > From: Zachary Kline <zkline(a)speedpost.net> > Reply-To: General Discussion about Arch Linux > <arch-general(a)archlinux.org> > To: General Discussion about Arch Linux <arch-general(a)archlinux.org> > > > > Hi, > > Did your friend actually go through the process of installing Talking Arch? If so, espeakup should have been installed as one of the manual steps involved. If not, you need to do this yourself. It isn’t difficult, but you won’t have speech feedback obviously. > Log in as root, and then run “pacman -S espeakup alsa-utils,” hit y, and then, “systemctl enable espeakup.service.” > If all this was already done, obviously disregard this advice, but the system is pretty simple to get going in a VM. > > Best, > Zack. > > On May 25, 2016, at 5:45 PM, Rosanna Hostetler<rhostetler(a)consolidated.net> wrote: > > > > a question on talking arch Hi all, I am new to the list and don't remember how to start fresh, so I just had a friend help me get VMware on which I put or he helped me put talking arch linux on it.

[arch-general] Deletion of old account
by Giovanni 'ItachiSan' Santini 24 May '16

24 May '16

Good afternoon, after some time, I decided to shift to another email address in order to have an account on this mailing list. My previous account was based on a Yahoo! Mail address which seems unusable from the start of January. If possible, I would like that an admin could delete my previous account. I will give my email address in PM. Thanks in advance. -- Giovanni Santini My blog: http://giovannisantini.tk My code: https://github.com/ItachiSan My code, again: https://gitlab.com/u/ItachiSan My Twitter: https://twitter.com/santini__gio My Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/giovanni.santini My Google+: https://plus.google.com/+GiovanniSantini/ My GPG: 2FADEBF5

[arch-general] Libarchive 3.2
by Federico Di Pierro 24 May '16

24 May '16

Hi! I see that libarchive is still at 3.1.2 which is 3 years old, while latest version is now 3.2, released circa a month ago. I already saw it is tagged as out of date, but still it has not been updated. So...is there any issue blocking its update? Or is just packager away for some time? :) Thanks everyone! Federico
