[arch-general] disable fourth mouse button
by David Benfell 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, My mouse is great except for one thing. The fourth mouse button is entirely too easy to press by accident. Normally it doesn't do anything. But in a browser it can be disastrous. I would really like it to go away. Google isn't helping me. And the Arch Wiki mouse articles seem to be leading in a different direction. Can someone point me in the right direction? I use both chromium and firefox on an ongoing basis. I'd rather just tell the driver to ignore the button.

[arch-general] Initramfs doesn't ask for password to encrypted LVM
by Bartłomiej Piotrowski 29 Aug '13

29 Aug '13

I guess it's trivial to fix, I usually overlook basic things... I installed Arch on encrypted LVM without issues, but for some reason initramfs doesn't ask for password to encrypted LVM and waits for root device instead. I'm not sure where the problem lies -- configuration files[1] seem correct to me. Any ideas? [1] https://paste.xinu.at/pbiA78/ -- Bartłomiej Piotrowski http://bpiotrowski.pl/

After removing it, the pip2 commands work as expected.

[arch-general] Downgrading packages with ABS tree svn/git repo
by BlissSam 24 Aug '13

24 Aug '13

Hello those who need help, It is unfortunate that Arch Rollback Machine (A.R.M.) has shut down. I just want to tell those who need to build old packages: There is a svn/git repo for ABS. You can fetch it for old PKGBUILDs. Now I use those PKGBUILDs to keep a productive server stable. I share my idea here and hope that it can solve your problem. Link: [core]/[extra]: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/ [community]: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/ P.S. If anyone find it useful, please consider appending this to the Downgrading_Packages page on ArchWiki. -- Best regards, StarBrilliant (@m13253)

[arch-general] System freeze while switching between X sessions
by Dennis Lange 23 Aug '13

23 Aug '13

Hi, if I switch between more than one X session my Arch Linux is freezing earlier or later. I saw this before on the same system with Debian Jessie (Testing). Before Jessie the same system runs fine with Debian Wheezy where changing between X sessions where no problem, so I thought it has something to do with the new kernel and the proprietary nvidia driver, but i am not sure. After freeze the X server can not be killed with ctrl + alt + backspace and the Num Lock LED does not respond anymore. Yep its really ugly, only cold start helps in this situation. I need to test ssh because music plays onward. [dennis@rore ~]$ lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF114 [GeForce GTX 560 Ti] (rev a1) Will not upset anyone by pasting my complete Xlog into this mail so here is a link for it: http://www.pasteall.org/45056 Regards, Dennis

[arch-general] Solution for issues with "green" HDDs when gvfs is installed
by Ralf Mardorf 22 Aug '13

22 Aug '13

Hi :) to help those who have "green" HDDs that can't keep asleep when gvfs is installed, I replaced the dummy package for gvfs I had installed by the real gvfs package and try to solve this issue by another method. There absolutely in no need to install gvfs on my machine, but since there's a "green" EU Regulation, soon or later more people will experience that their "green" drives will spin down and up again and again. The assumption is that it's udisks that wakes up sleeping drives, for gvfs seemingly configurable by /usr/share/gvfs/remote-volume-monitors/. This assumption might be wrong. $ systemctl status udisks udisks.service - UDisks Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/udisks.service; disabled) Active: inactive (dead) $ cat /usr/share/gvfs/remote-volume-monitors/udisks2.monitor [RemoteVolumeMonitor] Name=GProxyVolumeMonitorUDisks2 DBusName=org.gtk.Private.UDisks2VolumeMonitor IsNative=true NativePriority=4 What are "IsNative" and "NativePriority" for? I still search myself, but any hints are welcome, to disable _what ever_ wakes up such "green" drives. Without gvfs those drives keep asleep. Regards, Ralf

[arch-general] Intel SNA artifacts in Firefox
by Paul Gideon Dann 22 Aug '13

22 Aug '13

Since the xf86-video-intel update that enabled SNA by default, I've noticed that some areas of some web pages (mostly flat backgrounds) in Firefox suffer from heavy graphical corruption, as if those areas are being used as rendering buffers elsewhere: bits of web pages from other tabs, etc... It goes away when I scroll the page. It happens regularly, every couple of minutes or more. This is on a Dell Latitude E5520 (Sandybridge i5) with KDE. I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing this?

[arch-general] Pip2 commands throw error

Hello, Since upgrading to version 1.4.1 in July of python2-pip, I have been receiving this Exception on the commands I execute. Received an update to version 1.4.1-1 today and the error persists. This is a desktop machine and I get the same error on a server running Parabola. I tried a manual install of pip-1.4.1 and distribute on Slackware and everything runs as it should.
