[arch-general] no audio in VLC after seek in video playback
by Nelson Marambio 15 Sep '14

15 Sep '14

Hi, Arch'ers, again I've a problem with audio/video in GNOME and again I hope you can give me a hint to solve it. I trust in you ! :) I realized it yesterday that there is a problem with VLC and playing MP4-files (might concern other formats too). The audio mutes if I forward / rewind during the playback. This also happens if I pause the playback before I forward. Google finds a lot of stuff to this description, most of them with an earlier version of VLC and also most of them in context of (K)Ubuntu. Some threads suggested to install a package 'vlc-plugin-pulse' but I think that does not fit to Archlinux. Starting VLC by 'vlc -vvv' naturally produces a lot of debug output but apart from the pasted lines below there was'nt something useful to read there. First I thought it might be related to my bluetooth headset and bluez again but the problem also occurs if I use the interal audio speakers of my laptop or analog audio headset. I don't even know where to focus on: pulseaudio or VLC ? I guess on VLC, with GNOME MPlayer video playback works fine (but fullscreen mode does not run smoothly). Kind regards, Nelson. ******* [0x8ed1d80] pulse audio output debug: underflow [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Buffering 8% [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Buffering 16% [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Buffering 25% [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Buffering 33% [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Buffering 41% [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Buffering 50% [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Buffering 58% [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Buffering 66% [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Buffering 75% [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Buffering 83% [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Buffering 91% [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Buffering 100% [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Stream buffering done (325 ms in 27 ms) [0xb050c228] main decoder debug: End of video preroll [0xb050c228] main decoder debug: Received first picture [0xb05115c0] main input debug: Decoder buffering done in 73 ms

[arch-general] ncmpcpp 0.6beta2-1
by Manolo Martínez 14 Sep '14

14 Sep '14

Hi, Since the upgrade of nmcpcpp to 0.6beta2 yesterday, custom keybindings no longer work, and the commandline subcommands (most importantly for me, `ncmpcpp toggle`) have stopped working as well. Downgrading to 0.5.10 solve these issues. Perhaps the package should stay at the last stable release? (I should say I don't follow ncmpcpp development closely at all, and for all I know that beta might have been around for years. In any case, I'm seeing the above problems with the beta version.) Cheers, Manolo --

[arch-general] systemctl reboot
by Ralf Mardorf 13 Sep '14

13 Sep '14

Hi, as user I have the permission to run systemctl reboot _without_ sudo. $ groups wheel games video audio optical storage power users vboxusers rocketmouse $ sudo cat /etc/sudoers | grep -v "#" | grep " " root ALL=(ALL) ALL rocketmouse ALL=(ALL) ALL 1. How can I disable it? 2. Since I'm the only user I could live with it, but I anyway want to be ask for a password, before I run the command by a menu entry. Is anything speaking against running gksudo systemctl reboot ? Is anything speaking against running gksudo -u some_user reboot ? I don't think so, but I want to ensure that I don't miss something. Again, I can execute it successfully without gksudo, I want to add gksudo, because I want to be asked for the password. Regards, Ralf

"Can't find file "es_ESUTF-8" for symbols include" below makes me think you may have had a typo when you set up your LANG/locale stuff during install?

[arch-general] linux kernel 3.17 and virtualbox
by Genes Lists 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

Quick heads up - virtualbox needs couple fixes which are not yet in upstream 4.3.14 in order to compile against 3.17. There are patches here: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?p=296650#p296650 The patch file I used was : virtualbox-alloc_netdev.diff.txt I have tested the module version of this and confirm it works with 3.17.rc3 custom kernel and that virtualbox comes up and can boot a windows vm.

[arch-general] Check for update in script
by Yamakaky 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

Hi I can't find a good way to check for available upgrades without touching the database, as running `pacman -Sy` without `u` isn't supported. Any idea ? Maybe a new pacman switch like "--upstreamdbpath" to toggle change the location of sync/ without touching local/ ? Why I need it : https://github.com/XavierBerger/RPi-Monitor/pull/57#issuecomment-55248969 Yamakaky

[arch-general] Dell latitude and keyboard problem
by Sławek Kapłoński 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

Hello, I have Arch linux installed on Dell latitude e7440 laptop. Generally almost everything works fine but I have one annoying problem. When I type something on keyboard, sometimes (randomly) random key is "blocked" like it was pressed all time (for example when I wroteeeeeeeeeeee something). This stops when I press any other (or even the same) key once again. I test it on Windows 7 (not for long time but in similar time on linux this problem appear) and there was no problem on Win. I have no idea what could be a reason of that problem and how to debug or diagnose it. Maybe someone of You had same problem on will have some idea how to start searching reason of that :) I will be graceful for any help :) -- Pozdrawiam, Sławek Kapłoński slawek(a)kaplonski.pl -- Klucz GPG można pobrać ze strony: http://kaplonski.pl/files/slawek_kaplonski.pub.key -- My public GPG key can be downloaded from: http://kaplonski.pl/files/slawek_kaplonski.pub.key

Hi, is it possible to change the colour of fbpanel tclock's font? foo seems not to work. With the below-mentioned settings the font is black, but I need white. $ cat .config/fbpanel/default # [snip] Plugin { type = tclock config { ClockFmt = %H:%M # 2 line view, time in bold above and date below #ClockFmt = %H:%M 
%A, %d %b %Y TooltipFmt = %A, %d %b %Y #Action = orage & ShowCalendar = true ShowTooltip = true } } # [snip] Regards, Ralf
