[arch-general] Bring back the old X11 values
by Dimitris Zervas 14 Jun '14

14 Jun '14

In the latest Xorg updates, there is a major change in the default of mouse mouvment and key repeating speed. How can I change these back? I am really used to the old ones and the new ones just slow down my workflow.

Salutations, I suggest looking at the diff histories of the x11 packages in the arch packages.

As for the links provided I meant "The links are not help, 'cause I don't know the old values". Sorry for the misunderstanding. The mouse is too slow (and sometimes, WAY too slow, if I make a small movement). The key repeat is also slow. I am asking for the old values of the mouse sensitivity/acceleration/etc and key repeat. Just how they were before the update. I am not "imagining" (I thought of it too in the first place), because I get frustrated times that I really am focused on other things (ex. when copy/pasting code from one monitor to another) Thank you.

[arch-general] Strange (sd-pam) process

Hi `systemd --user` has a child `(sd-pam)`. It's certainly related to pam, but why has it such a strange name ? Thanks

[arch-general] Restart systemd related services on update
by Christian Hesse 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

Hello everybody, on systemd package update systemd.install is run, which calls 'systemctl --system daemon-reexec'. This replaces pid 1 with a new process of updated systemd. However systemd comes with a lot of helper daemons (systemd-udevd, systemd-journald, systemd-logind, ...). These are not restarted. For systemd-213-9 systemd-udevd has a device-mapper fix that takes place only if system is rebooted or 'systemd restart systemd-udevd' is run manually. Any reason this is not done automatically? -- main(a){char*c=/* Schoene Gruesse */"B?IJj;MEH" "CX:;",b;for(a/* Chris get my mail address: */=0;b=c[a++];) putchar(b-1/(/* gcc -o sig sig.c && ./sig */b/42*2-3)*42);}

[arch-general] Odd Problem After Install
by Hunter Jozwiak 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

Hi all. After installing Arch and getting everything all nice and setup, I've hit a bit of an issue. When I boot in to the system, I get this: Arch: clean, 210545/15269888 files, 2401901/61048873 blocks. This number is permanent, and won't move. It may be an issue after installation of Gnome. I can't change TTY's, either. How do I get rid of this issue?

[arch-general] Mounting cdrom/dvd stopped working after updates in last week or so
by mick 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

Updates I installed in the last week or so have caused this error message to appear instead of the disk being mounted: Error mounting /dev/sr1 at /run/media/mick/VMDVEC_ESSH_ENG1: Command-line `mount -t "iso9660" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=100,iocharset=utf8,mode=0400,dmode=0500" "/dev/sr1" "/run/media/mick/VMDVEC_ESSH_ENG1"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'iso9660' Also when I try to mount my USB hard drive I got the following: Error mounting /dev/sde2 at /run/media/mick/Portable: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=100,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sde2" "/run/media/mick/Portable"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs' Prior to these problems the hard disk would only mount as read only, very useful for a back device. where can I find the solution to these problems?

[arch-general] python2-lockfile signature failure

Having just refreshed my desktop system with a clean Arch install, I am seeing a signature failure in the python2-lockfile package (dependency for duplicity).

[arch-general] No longer able to print
by Squall Lionheart 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

Hello, Since about three weeks ago after an update, I have no longer been able to print using CUPS. When I send a job to the print queue, it generates this message: stopped *"The PPD version (5.2.9) is not compatible with Gutenprint 5.2.10."* I was unable to find anything helpful through the search engines. Was there a package split for older drivers, or perhaps something else I need to install to get this to work again? Running linux 3.14.6-1 and: $ pacman -Qs cups local/cups 1.7.3-3 local/cups-filters 1.0.54-1 local/libcups 1.7.3-3 $ pacman -Qs gutenprint local/gutenprint 5.2.10-1 $ pacman -Qs ppd local/foomatic-db 3:20140324-1 local/foomatic-db-engine 3:20140324-1 $ pacman -Qs hplip local/hplip 3.14.6-1 Thank you Squall -- Yesterday is history.

[arch-general] Starting gpg-agent from systemd?
by Magnus Therning 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

For the first time ever today, I noticed this little gem of a message from gpg: ~~~~ gpg: WARNING: The GNOME keyring manager hijacked the GnuPG agent. gpg: WARNING: GnuPG will not work proberly - please configure that tool to not interfere with the GnuPG system! ~~~~ So I started looking into some nice way of switching to gpg-agent, but how to start it in a nice way when using Gnome? The instructions at [^1] are for the shell and for using ~/.xinitrc to start X. So neither is very well suited for me as I'm letting GDM log me in to Gnome without use of ~/.xinitrc and the agent has to be available also to apps started via Gnome Shell. I have a feeling this ought to be solvable using systemd but I can't really see how. Writing a service for gpg-agent is not that difficult, and it creates the required environment file without problems. But, how do I hook it in to the user login in the right way? Who should be wanting my gpg-agent.service, and then load the generated file using EnvironmentFile=? All pointers are welcome. /M [^1]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#gpg-agent -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus What gets measured, gets done. -- Tom Peters
