[arch-general] Lutris 0.5 - Namespace GnomeDesktop not available
by Sefa Eyeoglu 03 Feb '19

Hello fellow Arch users, I just updated my system and received the new Lutris update (0.5.0-1). After running lutris from the terminal it showed the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/lutris", line 31, in <module> from lutris.gui.application import Application File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/lutris/gui/application.py", line 30, in <module> gi.require_version("GnomeDesktop", "3.0") File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 129, in require_version raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace) ValueError: Namespace GnomeDesktop not available I am running KDE Plasma 5.14.90 (kde-unstable) and probably don't have some default gnome dependency. I already tried installing the packages "gnome- python" and "gnome-python-desktop", but there are for GNOME 2 and not for GNOME 3. I hope someone may be able to help. Kind regards -- Sefa Eyeoglu Free Software Developer scrumplex.net

[arch-general] Participation of Arch in Google Summer of Code.
by Aniket Pradhan 01 Feb '19

01 Feb '19

Hello Everyone! I am Aniket Pradhan, a student. Please refer to this <https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/al0v84/participation_of_arch_li…> Reddit thread I had raised earlier and was recommended to ask here. I was wondering if the Arch organization is willing to take part in this year's GSoC and if there are any developers who would like to participate and mentor students through the GSoC program? As discussed by FoxBoron (in the Reddit thread), the mentorship is not reimbursed and will be time-consuming (a bummer). However, we can have some really cool projects related to Arch for the GSoC. Like something related to Pacman, or anything else related to Arch (I don't really know where to draw the line between community-driven tools/software and official Arch software). The GSoC will provide exposure to the students and will also help the organization in the final run. The students will also get to learn more about Arch and how it works. There are other numerous benefits which I am missing. I am really interested in Arch, and really want to contribute to it. I am currently maintaining a few packages on the AUR, and would like to do more. -- Thanks Regards Aniket Pradhan Byld | Cyborg Member ECE Undergrad | IIIT Delhi http://home.iiitd.edu.in/~aniket17133/

[arch-general] Customizing Console Keybindings?
by hunter.t.joz＠gmail.com 01 Feb '19

01 Feb '19

Hello, I was wondering if the it is possible to customize the console keybindings. In particular, I want alt+tab and alt+shift+tab to switch the consoles instead of alt+right and left arrows. Furthermore, is it possible to turn alt+f<n> for switching terminals and force it to use ctrl+alt+f<n>? I had done some digging on this, and I have come to conclude that this is either baked deep in to the system or it might take me rewriting the keymap. Thanks, Hunter
