[arch-general] Pacman cache directory
by arnaud gaboury 17 Aug '16

17 Aug '16

>From /etc/pacman.conf: CacheDir = /drawer/system/pacman/cache/pacman/pkg/ This is a convenient place to me as my root system is a not too large SSD. When doing some cleaning on my machines, I found this: $ ls -al /drawer/system ..... lrwxrwxrwx 1 gabx users 34 Aug 12 21:10 pacman -> /tmp/asd-gabx/drawer/system/pacman/ Pacman is working like a charm, but I would like to understand why abd by what the pacman directory is a symlink to a volatile dir? Thank you for any hints on how investigate. google.com/+arnaudgabourygabx

[arch-general] very out of date packages
by Genes Lists 15 Aug '16

15 Aug '16

refind-efi has been flagged out of date for 9 months. Are there any packagers who would be willing to take this one over? It is not the most out of date even ... but it's an important component for those who boot with it. There are plenty of others which are also very out of date. I counted over 220 packages marked out of date. Of those nearly 20 were flagged in 2015 or earlier. Some of them have newer versions in AUR; but it would be good to try get at least some of these updated. What's the best way to tackle this issue? -- Gene lists(a)sapience.com

[arch-general] Libreoffice Google Drive not working
by Martin Zecher 15 Aug '16

15 Aug '16

When trying to access Google Drive under Libreoffice 5.1.4-1, I get "The specified device is invalid". This problem should be fixed since 5.1.3.2 according to https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98416 I think there may be a problem with Arch's compilation. -- Martin Usen DropBox <https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTIwODk0MDk> (2GB + *500MB bonus*) Taxi de lujo en Santiago a buen precio: Uber <https://www.uber.com/invite/1p48v> ($5.000 gratis) Cabify <http://www.cabify.cl/es/home>.

[arch-general] MSI AMD R7 260x fan speed with AMDGPU
by Foxtrot Mike 14 Aug '16

14 Aug '16

Hi all, I have a little problem with my R7 260x because of which I must check if the fan is working at startup. If it isn't, I give the fan a little push with my finger so it starts working. The fan gets jammed every fortnight or so (I didn't send the fan for repair or warranty claim because I'm sooo lazy, and now I am in another country). Anyway, the point is that I must be able to see my fan speed. Currently, I am using AMD Catalyst just because it lets me find out my fan speed with: aticonfig --pplib-cmd "get fanspeed 0" I would like to get rid of this driver and install AMDGPU. Last time I tried AMDGPU it was around an year ago, and back then fan monitoring fucntion wasn't available. I would like to ask you guys if this function is available now? And if not, how can I get fan speed readings without the AMD Catalyst software? Any help would be appreciated! regards, Fulcrum

[arch-general] Emacs package is too stable?
by Kwang Moo Yi 12 Aug '16

12 Aug '16

Hello, I recently started using arch linux and the official package for emacs is a bit outdated compared to the one provided from Fedora, which is where I come from. I understand that the `emacs` package is intended for stable only, so I didn't mark it as outdated. However, current dev release 25.1 is quite stable, and it would be great if it's provided as a binary package, as cloning and building with the AUR package is quite a pain. The stable releases that is available in the extras repo seem like an LTS release. Any plans on packaging for the recent tag releases? Thanks, Kwang

[arch-general] Arch Linux in Embedded Projects
by Compy 11 Aug '16

11 Aug '16

Greetings all, I have been using Arch Linux now for several months and have grown quite fond of it. I'm beginning to wonder about its pervasiveness in the field and was wondering if anyone knew of embedded devices or applications that currently use Arch? In the past, I've used buildroot for embedded applications/devices that run on SBCs, but I'm thinking Arch might be better for deployments with more complex hardware configurations and/or conventional motherboards. Any insight would be greatly appreciated regarding the current state/usage of Arch in embedded projects. Thanks! Jimmy

[arch-general] about mrelendig's, scimmia's, and dreisner's behavior

jason, spare us the bullshit. go back to the forum to ban some more people. you are not here to make anything better. this is not spam. i am not here to sell you dildos to put up your asses. it never made a difference even when i did not use 'bad language'. you can either talk seriously or you can fuck off. this is about the task hiding and their unacceptable behavior as members of the arch linux team.

these fuckers keep creating problems. they hided my tasks for the second time. this makes it impossible for the package maintainers to see the tasks. i didn't come here to play games with archlinux team members who happen to be fucking morons. i came here to contribute. it's time for them to be put in their place. they can't be reasoned with, and we can't have a serious discussion about this anywhere else, because in the IRC channels we have other stupid cunts jumping in always trying to derail the discussion, namely, meskarune, keenerd, and polyzen.

you are focusing on how things are said instead of focusing on what is being said. it seems that your mothers never told you that adults cuss sometimes. go back to your mommies if you can't handle a little cussing (that is also justified).
