For info - I have tried to get it working in refind and failed. I added a second initrd line in the boot stanza in refind.conf. But the firmware was not updated. I added to refind sourceforge report[1], perhaps Rod will respond. [1] https://sourceforge.net/p/refind/discussion/general/thread/7da6cd81/ gene

[arch-general] Problems updating java
by Gerhard Kugler 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

Hi, if I type "pacman Syu" I get messages like "java-runtime-common: /usr/bin/java exists ..." and "java-environment-common: /usr/bin/appletviewer exists ..." and because of that error nothing is upgraded. Regardless of my answer to questions about alternatives in java packages. Gerhard -- Gerhard Kugler Bensheim

[arch-general] Problems with new version of gsfonts
by Ondřej Kučera 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

Hi, I've noticed that the current gsfonts package is "built" from different sources (and I'm also aware of https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/42391) However, I've got two issues with it. First of all, the fonts have now different names. For example, "Nimbus Sans L" is now just "Nimbus Sans". That means that all applications that were set to use the font now need to be re-configured. That's of course something I'll have to do but maybe a warning (ideally on the front page/RSS or at least in a post install message) would be good. The second problem is worse. It seems that this version of the fonts doesn't contain all characters it used to. For example Czech diacritical characters seem to be missing (again, at least within Nimbus Sans). Does anyone know what the reason is? It's obviously not a packaging problem, the sources must lack them. For me it is a regression which makes the fonts unusable. :-( So my question basically is whether this is fixable or whether I should look for a different default font (I've been using Nimbus Sans L as a default font for everything for many, many years). Thank you. Ondra -- Regards, Ondřej Kučera

[arch-general] Is sloppy/mouse focus broken in Gnome 3.14?
by Magnus Therning 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

Has anyone else found that sloppy focus and focus-follows-mouse are behaving strangely since the upgrade to Gnome3.14? This is the behaviour I observe: 1. Have two gnome-terminals on desktop A, each one covering one half of the screen 2. Have one maximised gnome-terminal on desktop B 3. On desktop A, move mouse (and focus) to first window. 4. Confirm that Ctrl-Tab switches focus to second window. 5. Move to desktop B 6. Move back to desktop A 7. Confirm that first window has focus, because that's where the mouse pointer is At this point Ctrl-Tab can't be used to switch to the second window! Forcing the focus, either by clicking in the first windows, or by moving the mouse to the second window, will result in Ctrl-Tab working as expected again. Is anyone else seeing this behaviour? Is it a known bug? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Perl is another example of filling a tiny, short-term need, and then being a real problem in the longer term. -- Alan Kay

Puled the update today and nothing was happening. Moved the geary folder and configured it new and now it's getting weird. I'm using IMAP with 2 different mail providers. The snyc with web.de is fine but not with the freenet.de account. All I see is the outbox folder :-O KR Frank --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

[arch-general] Moving the root filesystem to a multipath device
by Ary Kleinerman 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

Hi there, I'm working with a EMC Fibre Channel storage and I need to move the root filesystem to a multipath device. Ubuntu has a package named "multipath-tools-boot" that modify the initramfs and adds the script, modules and binary for multipath. I do not know much about mkinitcpio, but I think I need a hook for multipath. Can someone help me with this? Regards, Ary

[arch-general] Kernel code dump retrieval
by Leonidas Spyropoulos 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

Hello list, I'm experiencing an issue while compiling big projects (i.e. linux kernel but not limited to that). The issue seems to be related to CPUFREQ and I'm trying to track it down. While compiling the linux-ck kernel the kernel panics and produce a core dumps. I'm trying to get the core dump but I'm not able to access it after hard reset. I tried enabling journalctl Storage=Auto to write to disk without luck. My FS is btrfs and the CPU is AMD FX-8120. The CPU is not overclocked [1] and the Cool And Quiet is enabled alond with other power saving options in BIOS (like C6 State). How can I access the kernel core dump after crash? [1] The memory controller is running at 1866MHz Thanks, Leonidas --

[arch-general] Geary
by frank.zimmermann.berlin＠freenet.de 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

Hi there, I'm running Openbox and use Geary as mail client. Since the appearance of Gnome 3.14 in stable Geary remains blank. I don't see my mail folder or mails at all. Not sure if Geary is connecting to the mail server at all since there is no feedback. KR Frank --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.
