[arch-general] graphical display management
by message 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Readers, According to the command 'pacman -Q -e | less', gdm is shown as installed. The command 'startx' doesn't start gdm, but instead the same graphical manager that starts following the test procedure. How to start gdm?

[arch-general] Pulseaudio 5.1 Setup echoes Front Speakers to Rear speakers
by Mark Lee 18 Mar '14

18 Mar '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Salutations, I recently hooked up a 5.1 surround sound receiver to my Haswell setup via HDMI. I used the sound manager in gnome to set the system to output 5.1 surround sound. However, while testing each individual speaker using the gnome sound settings, I found that front speakers were echoing content to rear speakers (with a small delay). I also noticed that if I set the fade to rear, I would lose all front speaker output. Moving the fade to the front reproduced the echo again. This is noticeable in any 5.1 audio I play as well. Has anyone experienced this and found a solution?

After many reboots, am unable to sign-in directly as normal user 'a'. Have to sign in as 'root' (command 'su' not recognised), then change to 'a' using 'su a'. Access to /home directory 'a' (/home/a) is successful.

[arch-general] Upgrade systemd 208-11 -> systemd-210-3 - suspend issue
by Friedrich Strohmaier 17 Mar '14

17 Mar '14

Hi all, I run a Lenovo x200 which usually is put on the docking station with lid closed. after the Upgrade of systemd-208-11 -> systemd-210-3 while booting it immediately suspends when systemd somehow reaches suspend.service at startup. - If I open lid it resumes, - if I close lid it suspends again. - If I stroke any key with lid closed it resumes and immediately suspends again. All works fine if I downgrade to systemd-208-11. This means: - It suspends if I close open lid. - It resumes when stroking a key and continues working with lid closed. - While booting it simply works if lid is closed while starting the machine. Now my question: Does anyone know about changed default settings in systemd-210 causing this behaviour? Gruß/regards -- Friedrich

[arch-general] the Team needs You!!
by Billy McCann 17 Mar '14

Salutations and Felicitations. Not long ago, a call was put out to the Arch community to assist in the monitoring and reporting of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures. [1][2] The Arch community has responded by creating the Arch CVE Monitoring Team (ACMT). The wiki page contains all of the information one would need to begin helping.[3] It gives clear and simple instructions to get you up to speed on finding, reporting, and documenting CVE's. This is a relatively simple way to make a major contribution to Arch Linux. If you've found yourself wanting to contribute to Arch, but haven't yet found a way, then join the ACMT! Please join us in helping keep Arch and its users secure! "But how do I join?" I hear you asking. Simple. 1. Read the wiki page. [3] You'll find a supple list of RSS feeds and mailing lists that you can follow. 2. Feel the overwhelming sense of pride and honor that engulfs you as you add your name to the ACMT list.[4] 3. Watch out for CVE's. When (not if) you find one, file a bug report and record it on CVE-2014 page. [5] "Is there cake?" The cake is a lie. But the champagne flows like the river Rhine. So come join the Team.
