[arch-general] cannot set locale (systemd)
by Thanos Zygouris 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

After upgrading systemd (189-3) and filesystem (2012.8-1) my locale isn't en_US.UTF-8 anymore. Instead, it defaults to C. # cat /etc/locale.conf: LOCALE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=C # locale LANG=C LC_CTYPE="C" LC_NUMERIC="C" LC_TIME="C" LC_COLLATE=C LC_MONETARY="C" LC_MESSAGES="C" LC_PAPER="C" LC_NAME="C" LC_ADDRESS="C" LC_TELEPHONE="C" LC_MEASUREMENT="C" LC_IDENTIFICATION="C" LC_ALL= I tried to run /etc/profile.d/locale.sh manually, but nothing changed. If i manually export LANG="en_US.UTF-8", it works, but i suspect it's not the "correct" way. So, is there a bug, or i am just missing something?

[arch-general] LibreOffice 3.6.1-1 doesn't run.

Hello. I upgraded using testing repository LibreOffice 3.6.1-1... And I cannot test it, it doesn't fully start ! Bootscreen goes half way to load, and then, I got this message : "Impossible de lancer l'application. exception occurred raising singleton "/singletons/com.sun.star.deployment.ExtensionManager": loading component library failed: file:///usr/lib/libreoffice/program/../program/libdeployment.so"; First line can be translated by "Cannot Launch application". Any idea ? Deleting previous profile doesn't help, only downgrading to LibreOffice 3.5.6 :( -- Frederic Bezies fredbezies(a)gmail.com

Dear list, I boot with systemd and startx. I can't open my USB disk with thunar (XFCE4 file manager) and get this message: Not autorized to perform operation. I understand as a simple user I can not mount it. How can I solve this issue? I couldn't find any clear answer. Thank you

[arch-general] linux 3.5 and resolution EDID problem
by Shridhar Daithankar 31 Aug '12

Hello all, After upgrading to linux-3.5.2, my monitor lost its highest resolution of 1360x768 and went to 1024x768 instead. Downgrading to linux-3.4.9 fixed the issue for the moment. There are some problems reported with linux-3.5-rc4, such as http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2012-June/024455.html. My desktop has Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics controller, which uses i915 module. and I am still experiencing the problem. However unlike the thread on arch forums(https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1153026), I am not experiencing any display corruption. Anything I can do to fix the problem with linux-3.5? Thanks -- Regards Shridhar

[arch-general] Emacs window color broken after update to 24.2.1
by Nick Lanham 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

The emacs update seems to have broken something in the way emacs displays colors. The portion of the window where there is "nothing" is always displayed with a light grey tint. Screenshots: - starting with -q (i.e. no config): http://i.imgur.com/8ailM.png - with a theme: http://i.imgur.com/rJjB1.png The only thing I set in my .Xdefaults is Emacs*Font A downgrade to 24.1 fixes makes things work again.

[arch-general] Sudo arch wiki
by Kevin Chadwick 31 Aug '12

Cmnd_Alias EDITS = /usr/bin/vim, /usr/bin/nano, /usr/bin/cat, /usr/bin/vi Cmnd_Alias ARCHLINUX = /usr/sbin/gparted, /usr/bin/pacman, /usr/bin/pacman-color root ALL = (ALL) ALL USER_NAME ALL = (ALL) ALL, NOPASSWD: WHEELER, NOPASSWD: PROCESSES, NOPASSWD: ARCHLINUX, NOPASSWD: EDITS The arch wiki docs are usually very good but the sudo page is dangerous. The offered configs suggest adding editors to sudo when sudoedit should only be added and only to a set file otherwise sudo is basically just su and without a password in the example so suid all due to the user being able to edit sudoers or escape the editor. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.

[arch-general] systemd pulseaudio
by Arno Gaboury 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Sorry for this second post, but I forgot [arch-general] in subject Dear list, I am able to boot with systemd. For now, I am still using the mixed systemd installation, until everything is clear. The only issue is with pulseaudio. $ journalctl returns [pulseaudio] module-equalizer-sink.c: resume state exists but is wrong size! I am on XFCE4, and when I start mixer, i have this error: GStreamer was unable to detect any sound device.Some sound system specific Gstreamer packages maybe missing. It may also be a permission problem. In /var/log/errors, I find these entries: localhost pulseaudio[29270]: [pulseaudio] module-equalizer-sink.c: resume state exists but is wrong size! localhost login: pam_systemd(login:session): Failed to release session: Connection was disconnected before a reply was received localhost pulseaudio[2257]: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting. When I start Pulse audio volume control, it is waiting to connect to pulse audio and give me this error in everything.log: localhost kernel: [ 150.080570] pulseaudio[2257]: segfault at 48 ip 00007fdbd3df404e sp 00007fff3b1e9860 error 4 in module-equalizer-sink.so[7fdbd3def000+f000] My music player (ncmpcpp with mpd) is indeed playing music, and I can control volume with the +/- keys.

[arch-general] systemd and netcfg
by Robbie Smith 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

So I switched to systemd about a week or so ago, and I'm quite impressed with it. One particular feature I like is it's auto-restart of daemons, but this has a tendency to behave oddly with netcfg. My primary internet connection is a mobile broadband one using an external USB modem and pppd via netcfg. systemd does its bit automating the connection, but it does it a little too well: if I disconnect the network interface (say, to switch to a wireless or wired one), systemd will restart my mobile broadband device when it's next physically plugged into the computer, *without* informing netcfg that it's brought the interface up. This effectively blocks me from switching interfaces, as netcfg can't bring down the interface, and killing pppd stops systemd from reconnecting it automatically when I resume from a suspend. How can I get the two to communicate better so I don't get this glitch?

[arch-general] systemd, locales and gvim
by Matthias Traunsberger 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

I have succesfully migrated to systemd on my desktop-pc and laptop. I'm using German locale, and it's working quite well everywhere in X and in those virtual terminals (Alt+F*), but there is an issue with my laptop that really bugs me. I can't see underscores "_" in gvim. vim isn't affected. My .vimrc is identical on both boxes and doesn't contain any font or locale related settings. Following files are identical on both boxes, too: /etc/locale.conf: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 /etc/vconsole.conf: KEYMAP="de-latin1-nodeadkeys" uncommented lines in /etc/locale.gen and generated with /usr/sbin/locale-gen: de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8 de_DE ISO-8859-1 de_DE@euro ISO-8859-15 Maybe someone can help me with this issue. Cheers, Matthias

Just received a second bogus 'unsubscribe confirmation request'. This begins to look like stalking. The request was sent from anonymouse.org, so whoever is doing this is a miserable coward apart from whatever else. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia.
