And what Xorg would need is the non-existing -input, so it cannot use devicekit. Besides it looks like some xorg devels are a bit annoyed by the big mess and endless renaming/overhaul of these projects : hal -> devicekit -power/-disk -> upower/udisk ? http://paste.debian.net/52931 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/DeviceKit You might also find more information on devicekit ML. Anyway, as the xorg wiki above points out, and as Jan mentioned in another thread, Xorg will probably just use libudev directly on Linux : http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2009-December/009283.ht… And some further clarification : 18:41 < alanc> right now, Xorg uses HAL for two things: 1) an OS independent way of finding input devices and getting notified of hotplugs, 2) configuration data for those devices 18:42 < jcristau> 1) is going to become os-dependent, and 2) should eventually be possible through xorg.conf.d 18:42 < alanc> for task #1, HAL will be replaced by OS-dependent code - libudev on Linux, libsysevent on Solaris, whatever HAL called on BSD/other OS'es for those OS'es

[arch-general] Problem loading a site in midori
by Ty John 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

Hi all, I just recently decided to try midori again and I'm impressed in how much its improved in such a short amount of time. One problem I am having is loading my university's website. http://oasis.curtin.edu.au/ Looks like there is some weird kind of redirecting going on there but not sure if that is causing the problem. Loads fine in firefox (and other browser's I've tried) but not midori. There doesn't seem to be an option for midori to output any verbose or debug messages so I'm not too sure where to look for the problem. Another thing I noticed which may or may not be related, is the "speed dial" feature. It worked fine when I first installed midori but now it just shows a blank page exactly like my university's website. Any suggestions? ~ Ty

[arch-general] dcopserver problem
by richard terry 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

Hi list, Last few days or so of weeks having huge problems with kde4 after the last upgrade. Apps just hang, clicking on the toolbar > no reponse for eons. messages were around kbuildsycoca: WARNING's...... I looked on the forums/net and they seemed to indicate that typing dcopserver_shutdown, followed by kdeinit would fix the problem, which it sort of does temporarily. I wondered what could be going on and how to fix it permanantly. Any helip appreciated. Richard

[arch-general] leafnode-svn and zoneminder
by Geoffrey Lane 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

I'm having two seperate issues here, one is simply a question or request for an AUR, but the other is dependancy hell and I can't resolv without removing some components. For several reasons I'd like to try leafnode 2 (beta), they have a git repo which should be easy enough - But I'd like to make a pkg out of THAT so it can be removed in future. Anybody know of a repo or a template for making a arch package out of a svn/git repo? zoneminder is kind of a security application, it allows you to monitor webcam over the net or record pictures/video. If I try to install the package it says it requires mmpeg-svn and a few others. mmpeg-svn also requires x264-git, which will remove x264, mmpeg (reg), and vlc. Vlc has no package that seems to depend on mmpeg-svn so if I remove it I get rid of my favorite video player. I'd appreciate the help getting fustrated on the second Geo -- "'Bill Gates can't guarantee Windows, so how in the HELL can you guarantee our safety!' --John Crichton (Farscape)"

[arch-general] SBCL orphaned for i686?
by Leslie P. Polzer 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Hi, I'm part of the Paktahn development team; Paktahn is a yaourt-like frontend to Arch package management written in Common Lisp. At the moment SBCL is our main deployment Lisp, and we depend on the 1.0.32 release of SBCL because this release includes a critical patch. We have noticed that SBCL i686 in extra is now marked as "orphaned". If this is true, what are the implications of it? Will SBCL for i686 move to AUR/Community? And can we do anything to remedy this situation in order to get SBCL 1.0.32/.33 in soon? Thank you! Leslie -- http://www.linkedin.com/in/polzer

[arch-general] usable browser?
by Arvid Picciani 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

Hi, ever since ff3 turned firefox into unusable, i'm on the quest to find a usable browser. Chromium was quite decent for a while (after fixing the dbus dependency) despite it deadlocks when you mouse-move tabs (fortunately i dont do that anyway), but recently it started timing out on every second request. The answer from google was: deactivate your windows firewall, so well.. back to searching a browser. Basicly each and every firefox clone/fork/based browser has the same issues as firefox (100% disk i/o all the time even when idle), so those don't work. webkit based browsers can't render half of the internet properly. i wonder if somone cloned chromiums webkit thing and made a brwoser of it? uzbl is quite decent, i wish they'd use chromes rendering. opera would be awesome if it didn't have billions of popups and their "Upgrade to opera10" popup really made me uninstall opera. any options left? -- Arvid Asgaard Technologies

[arch-general] Single Person ISP?
by Brendan Long 01 Dec '09

01 Dec '09

So recently Verizon has stopped letting me do free tethering and I've been looking for a replacement. Apparently all of the free ISPs I can find all require that you use their shitty Windows program to connect, so I decided, "I have a phone line, a modem and an internet connection, maybe I can make my own ISP". Basically, I want to take a computer with a dialup modem and an ethernet connection to a cable modem and make it so whenever someone calls, the computer picks up and acts like an ISP (requests username/password, then forwards all requests to the cable modem). Obviously, it wouldn't be that great (added latency, phone line won't work while it's active), but it's at least theoretically possible. I'm just wondering if there's software designed to do it. -Brendan Long

[arch-general] Frustrating Dependencies
by Phillip Smith 29 Nov '09

29 Nov '09

Hi all, So, there's currently a frustrating chain of dependencies: digikam -> kdepimlibs -> akonadi -> mysql So to manage my digital photos, I need a relational database system...! On a desktop system that I don't use for development, it's a bit annoying to have to have mysql taking up space, downloads during updates etc. Is there anyway we can get around this particular chain of deps? It's not a major issue, but just "one of those things" ;) Cheers, ~p

I don't understand why people want to use software that has no features. If something has more than one feature, people bitch about bloat.

Seamonkey is quite fast. Although I am not using it now I have in the past and I know it is used extensively in Puppylinux because it is full featured and light weight, even including a mail client. Since it is developed by Mozilla it is very similar to FF in functionality but does not have all the extras that slow FF down. I agree that FF has gotten very bloated in the last few years, I think to compete with and explorer and make windows users happy. But as a result the browser is not what it used to be. I currently use chrome both on windows and in Arch and it runs the fastest of any others for me.

[arch-general] Gnome - howto configure sound? Sound is silent, beep is loud (as heck)?
by David C. Rankin 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Guys, This is my first real work with gnome. Initially when I first installed arch, it seems like I had sound (I think that was before gstreamer), now I have no sound for desktop apps, but the system beep is so loud it will scare the heck out of you when you backspace too far, etc... I need to reverse both. Sound works in everything but gnome. I know it was working in gnome, but now something isn't working or is conflicted. I know for a fact virtualbox had good sound in gnome, now I get an error from XP saying that it is defaulting to 'null' sound. See screenshot: (40k) http://www.3111skyline.com/download/dt/gnome/vboxSoundError.jpg The big problem is I don't know how to configure the sound in gnome. I found this "Configuration Editor", but other than finding a few sound settings, I'm not sure what to do with it. I suspect, on a gut feeling I need to rip gstreamer out and go bact to asls or something else. But what? Here are some additional symptoms. The thing I first notice is my volume control is X'ed out and if I click on it, I get the error: "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found." In the Configuration Editor, the sound settings I found look like this. / apps desktop gnome <snip> sound /desktop/gnome/sound/default_mixer_device <empty> /desktop/gnome/sound/default_mixer_tracks [] /desktop/gnome/sound/enable_esd unchecked /desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds checked /desktop/gnome/sound/input_feedback_sounds unchecked /desktop/gnome/sound/theme_name freedesktop <snip> schemas (all by <schema>) <snip> system gstreamer 0.10 audio global /system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/global/profile_list profiles cdlossy ogg, cdlossless flac, aac m4a, mp2 mp2, mp3 mp3, voicelossless wav, voicelossy spx default audiosink autoaudiosink audiosink_description default audiosrc alsasrc audiosrc_description default (chat music and video all default) Well that doesn't mean a whole lot of shinola to me at all. If some of our great list companions has any expertise with sound in gnome, I really would appreciate a bit of help or at least a point in the right direction on whether I trash gstreamer and work to configure alsa of a good webpage where this is discussed would be fine. As always, if you need anything else, please do not hesitate to ask. I'm more than happy to do the work on my end to learn how to fix this. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I have heard about this happening before and I think I have even fixed it before, but I can't for the life of me remember how?

I have also configured php.ini with the proper: open_basedir =.:/srv/http:/usr/share/pear:/home:/tmp:/var/lib/egroupware <snip> include_path = ".:/srv/http/secure:/srv/http/htdocs:/srv/http/dl:/usr/share/pear:/srv/http" to accomadate the php include and defined the directory to /dcr. In fact I can browse /dcr just fine, but clicking on the phpinfo() script just returns the text of the script like all my other pages. What's the trick?

[arch-general] Post Install for RAID Configuration?
by Carlos Williams 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

I have a stand alone server running Arch 2009.08 x64 and it was configured via the 'Netinst' CD however during the time of the installation, the server had only one physical disk. I installed the system as follows: * /dev/sda1 = swap * /dev/sda2 = boot * /dev/sda3 = / * /dev/sda4 = /var Now I have since obtained identical drives on this system which show up as /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc. Both of the new drives are identical. I have the system running perfectly however I would like to create /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc in a mirror. I can use 'cfdisk' utility to create RAID partitions on the newly installed drives using the 'fd' code. Can I simply just use 'mdadm' utility to create a mirror after I create the partitions with out messing up my configured / working Arch Linux server? Code: mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 The Wiki has a write up (which I have never been able to get working) on RAID / LVM but this appears to be configured during the installation of Arch which I have already done. Not to mention I have followed the Wiki guide dozens of times to no avail. I even gave up on trying to install the swap and root partitions on the RAID and just do /home and it still fails. Anyone know if I will run into any issues?

I knew such a play existed but finding it was beyond my abilities. Thank you SO much, Daenyth. I'll (*briefly*) post progress (which will be slow, through the codeine fog ATM; doc with likely be giving me something MUCH stronger in 8 hours, so I'd best move fast...). Peace to you, Daenyth.
