[arch-general] Restarting at-spi2?
by kendell clark 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

hi all I am currently using orca v3.6.1 on xfce 4.10. Occasionally orca will crash causing me to have to restart it. This will sometimes also crash the at-spi2 bridge, causing orca to restart but then refuse to read anything on the screen until i reboot. I've tried to track down the processes responsible for at-spi. Typing ps -e | grep -i at-spi gives me two processes. at-spi2-dbus-launcher and at-spi2-registryd. I tried to write a script to restart at-spi2 by simply killall -9 at-spi2-dbus-launcher and at-spi2-registryd, then restarts them. but I get a command not found error when trying to restart both of them. Knowing nothing about dbus, I'm lost here. can anyone help? I've tried looking at the .config/autostart/at-spi2-registryd file provided with xfce, but it doesn't have the command I need to start at-spi2. I've researched on the web, but haven't found anything promising, only old bug reports that have been closed, and some forum posts, also about old bug reports. my search term was "restarting at-spi2." Any help/documentation/manpages are greatly appreciated.

by phanisvara 11 Nov '12

as per https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56986, there's some trouble with ver. 7.0.0 of this driver. it needs KMS mode now, but according to a couple comments, it doesn't wok with that either. if it doesn't, it took me almost 5 min. to downgrade to the previous version, 6.14.6. -- phani.

Is there a guarantee that `adm` group will be confined to only journald and not include wider priviledges in the future? By default it is probably unnecessary to have a log group as supplied by `filesystem`, but I I would still keep its creation in syslog-ng.install and similar. This way users who need a better logger than the journal will have a proper group setup... -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key: 0x164B5A6D Fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D

[arch-general] Fuse and out-of-date packages in general
by Anatol Pomozov 11 Nov '12

11 Nov '12

Hi, fuse 2.9.2 was released a while ago. This release contains important bug-fix for deadlock and there are arch users that wait for this version https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=146157 Some time ago I marked the package as out-of-date https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/fuse/ But the package maintainer seems busy and ignores this package. Is there any way to force upgrading fuse? Actually I have more general question. There are many out-of-date packages that are not updated for a long time. Should other (non-package owners) take care of it? Is there any way for non Arch developers participate in package maintenance? I keep in mind something like MacPorts or Homebrew [1] where anyone can easily send a package update that can be reviewed and submitted to repo by developers. I found this is a great way to involve more people into project, for example I would be happy to send an update to fuse package. But I cannot find such instructions for Arch contributors.

[arch-general] gnome-keyring on non DE not finding a place to import certificates.
by Javier Vasquez 11 Nov '12

11 Nov '12

Hi, I don't use any DE, just plain fluxbox, and I have in my .xinitrc: ------------------------------------- # Gnome-KeyRing eval "`gnome-keyring-daemon -c pkcs11,secrets,ssh,gpg -s`" #eval "`gnome-keyring-daemon -s`" export GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL export SSH_AUTH_SOCK export GPG_AGENT_INFO export GNOME_KEYRING_PID # Call the windows manager exec startfluxbox ------------------------------------- I've exchanged between using or not using "-c" option there... Any time I attempt to import a cert I get: gnome-keyring import <my_p12_cert>.p12 ... gnome-keyring: couldn't find any place to import files I have no clue how to address this... Any hint would be great... Thanks, -- Javier.

[arch-general] per-application streaming+recording+listening using pulseaudio
by Kyle 10 Nov '12

10 Nov '12

I need to be able to send a couple of applications (TeamTalk and either sox or audacious) to an icecast server and my local sound card at the same time, while also recording their output in audacity or another recording application, sox again may work here. I was able to find some information[1] that sometimes allowed me to stream to the icecast server, but even when it worked, the output of the application I moved to the streaming pulseaudio sink was no longer playing on the sound card, because it's sending the monitor of the null sink to the icecast server. I need to be able to either copy the output back to my local sound card, or setup an entirely new virtual sound card where I can move only the individual applications I want to record and stream, while also being able to hear the output on my sound card. Any help or links to some documentation that can show me how to do this would be greatly appreciated. I'm also open to any other suggestions I may not have thought of yet, including non-pulse-specific methods.

Hey guys, I just removed gnome as it was quite heavy for my laptop and installed xfce. I remember there was a page on the wiki with some recommendations about WiFi management, system monitor etv. But I can't seem to find it. Anyone got some proposals? Thanks
