Try passing init= option to kernel. See Linux Documentation/init.txt for guidance. I upgraded my system with yaourt-gui. What can I do to get mz Arch linux desktop back? -- Regards from Pal

[arch-general] warning: foobar: local (1.0.0-2) is newer than community (1.0.0-1)
by Ralf Mardorf 17 Jan '15

17 Jan '15

Regarding to my AUR cache [1], it seems to be common practise, that packages that moved from AUR to community get a lower "pkgrel="-value. IMO that is very annoying and doesn't make sense. I don't want to reinstall software that does work and I dislike to get tons of warnings. Why is this the common approach? Regards, Ralf PS: I'll send it to Arch and AUR general. [1] $ ls /var/cache/aur/foobar*

[arch-general] KDE Applications 14.12
by Wulf Richartz 17 Jan '15

17 Jan '15

Hello everyone, yesterday KDE released the first update for KDE Applications 14.12 and at Arch it's not even in testing-repository; therefore I would like to ask for the future of KDE Applications at Arch? If you look at the forum, I think I'm not the only one. Will KDE Applications stay in extra-repository, and will there be a maintainer for the packages? Or will KDE Applications move to community-repository, maybe for a TU to maintain the packages? Or it`s all undecided ? Thanks Wulf

[arch-general] NodeJs default behavior
by Heiko Becker 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Hey everyone, has there been some change to NodeJs with the latest versions? I'm running a node app with version 0.10.25 on an Ubuntu Server and one with 0.10.35 on my Arch. With the same script I'm getting debug output on Ubuntu but not on Arch. Best regards, Heiko

[arch-general] keymap corruption
by Michael Dahlberg 12 Jan '15

12 Jan '15

I recently had a hard drive failure which resulted in my system having a corrupted /var. I removed /var and recreated it from backups, however now i seem to have a unique problem: when I log into the console the backspace and ESC keys do not function correctly. Both keys just result in advancing the cursor. Strangely, if I boot into the rescue.target, the keys work correctly. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike

[arch-general] Is there a non file manager daemon for automounting like the ones provided by "pcmanfm -d"
by Javier Vasquez 11 Jan '15

11 Jan '15

Hi, I've been using "pcmanfm -d &" in my ~/.xinitrc, as suggested by [1]. However I would like something similar without the need of the file manager. Hopefully something that shows in the tray bar what's mounted and allows umounting. I don't use a DE, just plain fluxbox, and having to use whether pcmanfm or thunar or any other file manager with daemon capability is something I would like to prevent. I read about ldm, suggested by [2], but it doesn't seem to offer what I'm looking for. Seems to be something to automount with particular uid/gid only. though I might be wrong. Any suggestions? Thanks, -- Javier [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/File_manager_functionality#File_manage… [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/List_of_applications#Mount_tools

[arch-general] Reserve UID/GID for unofficial packages
by Christopher Reimer 11 Jan '15

Hi, I'm reposting this topic from the Arch forums here to grab more attention from Arch Developers and TUs https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=191918 > Hi, > > I'm working on an unoffical repository for VDR (http://www.tvdr.de) on > Arch Linux called VDR4Arch (https://github.com/VDR4Arch/vdr4arch) > > VDR runs as user 'vdr' and needs write access to /var/lib/vdr.

[arch-general] Heads up: Changes in the next mono release
by Daniel Isenmann 10 Jan '15

10 Jan '15

Hi, I just read an email from Miguel (Mono head developer) that in the next mono release (I don't know when this will be) the .NET profile 2.0 and 4.0 will be removed. So the reference assemblies of .NET 2.0 and 4.0 will be no longer in the package. As it seems the new mono release will have the version 4.0, so they are doing a major version bump. If you need them you have to stay with mono 3.10.0 or someone should maintain an AUR package which provides these assemblies. If someone wants to read the discussion on the mono mailinglist you can find it on the mail archive webpage: https://www.mail-archive.com/mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com/msg30995.html The packages which are provided in our repositories will be working with the new mono release, I will take care of this and move the new mono release to our repository only if all packages are working with it. If this doesn't work, maybe I will provide an old mono3 package and a new mono package for version >= 4. If this is possible, have to check this first. For all the AUR packages you are on your own to check them. Cheers Daniel
