[arch-general] Extrange message regarding gnome-keyring
by Hector Martinez-Seara 19 Dec '11

19 Dec '11

Hi, for some time ( one week maybe) I see the following message regarding gnome-keyring. WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring-3TI6ND/pkcs11: No such file or directory This meassage can be seen for example in my .xsession-errors file or when opening winecfg among others. The issue is that indeed this file do not exist. I have the /tmp/keyring-3TI6ND/dir but is empty. I guess that this means that gnonome-keyring was not somehow initialized properly. I'm using gdm+xfce. I'm fully updated. I have seen the same behavior in my 3 archlinux machines. Any ideas whats going on? or I should fill a bug. I yes where in arch or upstream?

[arch-general] Wireless-N 300 [Broadcom BCM43231] - FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper
by David C. Rankin 19 Dec '11

19 Dec '11

Guys, I hope somebody can point me in the right direction. I have a small dell I moved into our TV console to use as a media center box. I installed a wireless usb adapter 'WNA3100(v1) Wireless-N 300 [Broadcom BCM43231]' to join the box to our wireless network. The box dual-boots and works fine under xp, so after reading https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_wireless and not finding the model in the kernel driver, I decided to try ndiswrapper. I have run into an issue that I'm stuck on. Basically I get the following: 21:44 supersff:~/cnf> lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0846:9020 NetGear, Inc.

Anybody have any thoughts on this? I searched the bugs, but didn't find anything on ndiswrapper or modprobe. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] libgsf update
by Myra Nelson 19 Dec '11

19 Dec '11

What is the proper procedure for updating libgsf. Per the commit message libgnome-gsf was dropped because upstream dropped it. When trying to update the following error occurs. error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: libgsf-gnome: requires libgsf=1.14.21. I realize I can complete the update by pacman -Suf or pacman -Rdd libgsf-gnome then install the libgsf update but would think this would be handled by an install file included with the package. I would prefer not to bork my box so I thought I would ask first for a change. Thanks for your assistance. Myra -- Life's fun when your sick and psychotic!

[arch-general] glibc update broke time display

glibc-2.14.1-3 broke time display for me. It displays UTC regardless of /etc/localtime or TZ environment variable.

Re: [arch-general] signoff linux-3.1.5-1
by David C. Rankin 17 Dec '11

17 Dec '11

All, I haven't seen tpowa's normal kernel signoff, so just dropping a note it's good on multiple x86_64 and i686 boxes here. Only issue this time, which I haven't seen in the past 4-5 kernels, was the x86_64 MSI box that had a problem with the boot image being placed in a location that leaves the box unable to boot with grub. This is just a Russian Roulette issue with this one box. All others server & desktop installs updated fine. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Accented characters in X terminal?
by Magnus Therning 16 Dec '11

16 Dec '11

I just noticed that I no longer get accented characters in my terminals (I've tested lxterminal and gnome-terminal so far). Instead of the Swedish characters "åäö" I get "???". Far from ideal. This used to work a while ago (we're talking days, possibly weeks). As you notice it works well in non-terminals (like in Chromium where I've writing this). Anyone else seeing the same behaviour? A search turned up this answer-less forum post[1] , if there's an answer then I'll re-post it there too :) /M [1]: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=131000 -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus

[arch-general] How do I uncomment a locale?
by Grant McDuling 16 Dec '11

16 Dec '11

Hi, I am busy installing Arch core and am stuck at configuring the locale-gen part of the process. I am asked to uncomment the locales I need. Does this mean to delete them? There is a long list of them and I presume I need to delete all except the Australian ones (in my case). Do I simply delete them from this screen?

[arch-general] Packages popularity feedback
by Ricardo Catalinas Jiménez 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

Is there any way to give Arch Linux developers feedback about which packages are more popular (# of installations). Maybe it could be useful for them when deciding which new packages to support and which one to drop from the repository. As far as I know it exists Debian Popularity Contest, which gives this kind of feedback. Regards -- Ricardo (http://r.untroubled.be/)
