This is why I specified "especially me". But I admit, you haven't indeed explicitly mentioned the idea to install that extension, though without completely refusing that idea ;-) And for plea of that Cite extension: TL;DR: The keyword citation method from the Cite extension is better. I *do* see the need to explicitly be able to cite an article at the exact location where we made an assumption in our content. Using a keyword and putting the detailed source at the end of the document seems the best way if the link is used at several location in the document. As an example, if we cite some non tested assumptions we take from an article that we rapidly adapted to the Arch Linux world, the reader might be able to inform the original author, if he wants to, that the solution works or not. With a dedicated "see also" at the end of the document, it is less likely to happen. And as already written in the discussion on the wiki, "see also" implies that some more detailed information is available in that linked article, which is not necessary the case. A short blog post might just explain a really simple trick we completely integrated in our content (nearly copy-pasted). We are not aiming to provide and duplicate documentation from upstream. I personally don't like that idea, excepted if this leads to a disjointed article with bunch of references everywhere (e.g. the VirtualBox article I rewrite). In the case of DKMS for example, you cannot actually find any recent and updated "starting guide" excepted this old unnecessary very long one [1] dating back from 2003. The Wikipedia page is nearly non existent, and upstream does only provide a technical indigestible man page. Ubuntu does provide some more general technical guide, but again not really adapted to Arch [2].

Just a quick clarification from work, I never showed support for installing the cite extension, and I'm aware that it's developers, and not TUs, that have access to the repos.

[arch-general] Firefox showing flashplugin as outdated although it's not
by Marcos Sánchez 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

For the last few days, firefox started showing the following message when trying to run flash content: "Firefox has prevented the outdated plugin "Adobe Flash" from running on ..." I'm running a fully updated os and the package doesn't seem outdated, so I think it's a problem with firefox reading the flash plugin version wrong. Packages: ➜ pacman -Q flashplugin firefox flashplugin 11.2.202.425-1 firefox 34.0.5-1 About:plugins information Shockwave FlashFile: libflashplayer.soPath: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.soVersion: 11.2.202.424State: Enabled (STATE_VULNERABLE_UPDATE_AVAILABLE)Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202MIME Type DescriptionSuffixesapplication/x-shockwave-flashShockwave Flashswf application/futuresplashFutureSplash Playerspl Have any of you experienced a similar issue?

[arch-general] Mailing list web-settings?
by vixsomnis 12 Dec '14

12 Dec '14

Hi, I'm trying to update some of my settings for the mailing list, but I can't find the settings page on list.archlinux.org. I've tried accessing my account via the subscription page (e.g. https://lists.archlinux.org/listinfo/arch-general ), but this just sends me a security warning. Specifically, I'd like to disable duplicate messages (from sending) and add my real name. My message to mailman(a)lists.archlinux.org was bounced back, which is why I'm posting to this list. Thank you for any advice you can lend. -- vixsomnis

[arch-general] archlinux updates error reduction
by Jude DaShiell 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

I commented out mirror.abscission.net in my /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist since so far as I can tell that server runs too slow and causes yaourt to error out on it persistently. I'm using servers in the United States so this will be of no interest to foreign users of archlinux. jude <jdashiel(a)shellworld.net> Twitter: @jdashiel
