[arch-general] Perl Help?
by Hunter Jozwiak 12 Nov '17

12 Nov '17

Hi gang, I got bit by Perl this morning after I did an update. I got an error about having a handshake error with ListUtil.c, and I don't know how to resolve this error. I can't open cpan, launch Chromium, and I'm not sure what all else is broken at this point. Can someone help me towards a solution? Thanks, Hunter

[arch-general] About rebuild of pandoc
by Óscar García Amor 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

Hello all, Some days ago the pandoc mantainer [1] do a rebuild of it [2] where add a lot of haskell package dependencies. I think that the build changes the binary from statically linked to dinamically linked, but IMHO, I prefer the static one (55,08 MiB of package) over the dinamic (more than 666 MB in libraries). What do you think about this? Other solution can be have other package "pandoc-static", that maintains the previous method of package. Greetings.

[arch-general] [Classroom] The Beginner's Guide to Arch Linux package management
by Eli Schwartz 29 Jun '17

29 Jun '17

Eschwartz will be teaching a class "The Beginner's Guide to Arch Linux package management". As usual, the class will be taught in the #archlinux-classroom channel on irc.freenode.net. It will take place on Sunday, June 4 at 17:00:00 UTC, and last approximately 2 hours. This class is primarily focused on teaching the basic structure of PKGBUILDs: how to read/write/modify them, handle different source types, common errors and how to avoid them, and finally contribute them to the AUR for others to use. Everyone is welcome to join, as long as you follow the eminently fair rules in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Code_of_conduct. :) Prerequisites: * Have a basic knowledge of bash and shell commands in general. * The ability to use a text editor (e.g., nano, vim, emacs, gedit, Atom, etc.) Eschwartz is well known for his profusion of posts to the Arch Linux Fora, Mailing Lists, bugtracker, and IRC -- basically, anywhere that doesn't shut the door on him first. He has been an Arch user ever since he was introduced to Linux about four years ago, and has never looked back. He enjoys bash scripting, ebooks, and (apparently) referring to himself in third-person. -- Eli Schwartz

[arch-general] Kde + Gnome dual-install issues
by Francesco Porro 28 Jun '17

28 Jun '17

I'm a quite new user of Arch and in general I'm very satisfied with it! Since I've installed both Kde/Plasma and Gnome on my system, I've two question for you: 1) In a Gnome session, which file should I edit to make folders on my Desktop open with Nautilus, when I double click on them? I've tried checking and editing ~/config/mimefiles.list (as stated in the wiki) but the right settings is already there. Under [Default applications] there is: > inode/directory=org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop; Which it's supposed to let Nautilus open a folder on double clicking, but anyway Dolphin opens it up! I've also put a gnome-mimefiles.list with the same directive... nothing :\ 2) In a Kde/Plasma session I see a lot of gnome-* process running, even if didn't opened any gnome-related app. How to disable the auto-start of those deamons/apps? I don't know exactly where to look at, which is the right conf file to edit? Thank you in advance! -- fp PGP: 0x45399C26

If so, can the lynx browser run setup and then run flyspray after setup or is this going to need a g.u.i. browser? --

[arch-general] Please update the Cinnamon packages
by Marcelo Ranolfi 27 Jun '17

27 Jun '17

Good morning, Our Cinnamon packages, from maintainer Alexandre Filgueiras ( https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?maintainer=faidoc) have been out-of-date for a while now. Someone asked on Reddit a month ago about this ( https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/6axs8n/to_alexandre_filgueria_w…) and was informed that the packages are up-to-date in Antergos. I appreciate that Mr. Filgueira is the founder and project leader for Antergos. Since the Cinnamon packages are currently lagging 5 months behind official releases, I'd like to ask Mr Filgueira to either step up and update the packages, or possibily consider handing over the maintanership in the best interest of the community. The Cinnamon DE is developing fast, and a rather large number of quirks are fixed each release. There's a git version in AUR, but it's basically broken (the PKGBUILD themselves, and the sources - it's dev version after all). I'd create another AUR package myself for the most up-to-date version, but we have a policy of not doing that for official packages. Anyway, I would volunteer to maintain Cinnamon, if needed. Thanks for your consideration.

26 Jun '17

Line 93 of /etc/lynx.cfg was incorrectly reverted. The real home page for lynx is at: http://lynx.invisible-island.net/ The lynx.isc.org site got taken down in I think June of 2016. --
