[arch-general] kudos to Arch for packing keepassx 0.4.4-2
by David C. Rankin 21 Jun '16

21 Jun '16

All, Rarely to we have time to just stop and say kudos to a distro for smart choices in packaging, but kudos to Arch for packaging keepassx 0.4.4-2. While keepassx2 is out, there is a simple efficiency and effective layout for the original. Being a longtime user of keepassx, I've provided feedback to the project during version 2 development and have steadily watched it improve, but I still prefer the original. Good job to the arch devs for packaging both keepassx and keepassx2. For those unfamiliar with the password management packages, I haven't found a better package in over a decade. Try both, both are solid solutions. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Keyboard lag issue
by Manuel Groß 20 Jun '16

20 Jun '16

Hello there, I currently experience a weird keyboard lag issue which I yet failed to resolve. I had some help looking into it a bit (and obviously searched the web), but we couldn't identify the speficic problem. I hope someone could provide me pointers or hints on what to test out. I have a Thinkpad x250 running Arch Linux with Openbox and X11 on it. I use systemd-logind to log in, so X is started with the 'exec openbox-session' from my xinitrc. Not from some fancy lightdm or so. I do not have a certain date since when the issue occurs, but it has probably been a little over a month. I didn't make any major changes to my system then, and I do update regularly. This didn't occur when I set up the system. The issue is, that on some, certain programs, the keyboard input 'arrives' too late, with delays up to 1-2s. In other programs, this never happens at all. And in rare occasions, it is even fine for programs, in which I experience the problem. I checked logs at obvious locations, but neither the systemd journal, dmesg or the Xorg log were screaming 'I have an issue here'. The trackpoint always works as excpected and the touchpad is disabled. Programs where the delay occurs: * sakura * sublime * wireshark (qt5 version) Programs which are fine: * claws-mail * geany * xterm * chromium The delay also never occurs in the system shell (Alt+F2) and xterm, so it's not the shell or oh-my-zsh. The program lists suggests, that it is not a problem due to a specific version of GTK or QT, since programs using either library (or none of them) are affected. I tried using 'libinput' instead of 'evdev' as a keyboard driver, but the change had no effect (I double checked the Xorg log which driver was actually used). In 'xev', all keystrokes arrive immediately. So seems not to be the kernel or the driver, nor a specific gtk or qt library. The next thing to test would probably be the xlib and the libxcb themselves. So I used 'downgrader' to downgrade each a few revisions (also their lib32-libraries) and checked for a change, without success. I don't know what to try next. Does anyone of you have an idea or already solved a similar issue? I'd appreciate any help on this. -- Grüße/Regards Manuel Groß

[arch-general] Where did the touch pad tapping go?
by Magnus Therning 19 Jun '16

19 Jun '16

Yesterday I could tap my touch pad to trigger mouse clicks (single finger for left mouse button, ...), but today nothing! Anyone else seeing this, or am I alone? I had a quick look around but found no news suggesting that any recent upgrade requires configuring my touchpad, or that I need to install any new package to get my touch pad back to working the way I want. Any and all suggestions are welcome :) Thanks! /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0x927912051716CE39 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus cBryan's Law: You can't make it better until you make it work.

Hi, Y-day, I’ve received the bunch of updates for KDE 16.04.2 applications. While wanting to look at packaging changes for https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/spectacle/, I’ve failed to found the corresponding commit here: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/log/trunk?h=packages/specta… Is that something normal?

[arch-general] gnome-keyring madness
by Kyle Terrien 15 Jun '16

15 Jun '16

Seahorse 3.20.0-2 has a new hard dependency on gnome-keyring. Should gnome-keyring instead be an optional dependency? Seahorse can cope without gnome-keyring (although with warnings about not being able to talk to gnome-keyring). And for some reason, lightdm likes to launch gnome-keyring automatically, and this breaks my setup because I use gpg-agent with pinentry-gtk-2 to handle SSH keys. However gnome-keyring naively assumes that it may (incorrectly) handle SSH keys. Is there any way to tell lightdm not to launch gnome-keyring? (And yes, the obvious answer is to uninstall gnome-keyring. However, virt-manager has a hard dependency on seahorse.) Update: it turns out that virt-manager has a dependency on x11-ssh-askpass, which seahorse provides. My workaround for now is to install x11-ssh-askpass and uninstall seahorse and gnome-keyring (even though I will never use x11-ssh-askpass). There is something wrong with this dependency chain. Will someone smarter than me please look into it? * Should gpg-agent and/or pinentry provide x11-ssh-askpass? * Should gnome-keyring be an optional dep for seahorse, considering that seahorse copes without it although in a limited form? * Should virt-manager have a hard dependency on x11-ssh-askpass? --Kyle

[arch-general] Gnome copy and past keybindings

Hi everyone. I'm trying to reconfigure gnomes default behavior in copy and paste keybindings. Is there any way of changing this? I found only some old question in the internet with a similar questions. All of them were left open. I want to re-bind ctrl + c and ctrl + v to meta + c and ctrl + v. There are no configuration option in the gnome control center nor in the gsettings. best regards akendo

[arch-general] SLiM DM
by runical＠gmx.com 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

Dear all, I hope this is the right place to ask this. If not, please direct me to the correct place. I noticed that the SLiM display manager is in the repositories [0] while the wiki states that it has been deprecated [1]. Also, the project site is no longer available. Now, I understand that there are some reasons to keep deprecated software in the repositories, like with truecrypt. However, in the case of SLiM, there are compatibility issues with systemd on top of the fact that it has been deprecated. So, would it be possible to remove this software from the repositories, or could someone give some reasons why it is still in the repositories? With kind regards, runical [0] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/slim/ [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SLiM
