[arch-general] Error updating related to pygobject, pygobject-devel, Python, and Python2
by Myra Nelson 03 Sep '11

03 Sep '11

It would seem I have something misconfigured on my machine. I haven't noticed anything on the mailing list or on the Arch news about this, checked the bug tracker and followed the links to the Python mailing list, and I'm still a little confused. Below is an example of what I get back from pacman -Sy and pacman -Su, the rest is in a pastebin at http://pastebin.com/3dBxsGvE. myra@gandalf ../repos/extra-x86_64]:pacsu (equivalent to pacman -Su) :: Starting full system upgrade... warning: pacman: local (4.0.0rc1-1) is newer than core (3.5.4-4) :: Replace pygobject with extra/python2-gobject2?

Based on the Python mailing list referenced in FS25747 on the bug tracker, I'm not sure what to do next. You'll notice in the pastebin I stopped hitting the Y and just pressed enter (yes I really did that). No problems prior to today, but it seems as though I've borked something up. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Myra -- Life's fun when your sick and psychotic!

[arch-general] Down doesn't stick
by Jorge Almeida 02 Sep '11

02 Sep '11

Two days ago I did a one week -due general upgrading. After rebooting, the "Down" key changed its usual behavior: keeping the key pressed should keep producing Down events (I use it sometimes to scroll a google page without the mouse, or to move down across a text editing page). Now, it only sends one event. If I want to scroll down two lines I have to press twice. The Up key still has the usual behavior. I checked with xev that events are not being sent (i.e., they are not just being ignored). I suspected a keyboard hw probem, and so I used xmodmap to map another key (AltGr, right next to the space bar) to be another Down. It worked well yesterday, but today, after booting, new and old key have both the same strange behavior. I have no idea what package may be causing this... Jorge Almeida

[arch-general] emacs-color-theme: please use a snapshot
by XeCycle 02 Sep '11

02 Sep '11

Hope I'm not disturbing~ But I don't know whether this worth a bug report. The package `emacs-color-theme' uses the stable release, released in 2006. In 2007, there's a commit fixing a bug (for me, the bug causes conflict with Gnus), but the upstream didn't release a new version since then. So I would suggest on using a snapshot version --- I fixed that bug myself. Following is more about that bug and how I fixed it: Function `replace-in-string' is provided in XEmacs but not GNU Emacs, so the author of color-theme defined his own. Yes, he checks whether the function exists. Gnus also defined one, but the name is `mm-replace-in-string'. Gnus checks whether `replace-in-string' is present, and if it does, the `mm-' is just an alias to that. All right, Eh? But the author of color-theme defined the function different from XEmacs did. So Gnus was confused, then it complained about something like "wrong number of arguments" when using it --- for example, when EasyPG is trying to verify a PGP/MIME signature. I fixed that by renaming the defun in color-theme.el to `color-theme-replace-in-string', by adding a sed line in the build() function before the compilation. -- Carl Lei (XeCycle) Department of Physics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University OpenPGP public key: 7795E591 Fingerprint: 1FB6 7F1F D45D F681 C845 27F7 8D71 8EC4 7795 E591

[arch-general] New GTK update make LibreOffice 'save' document type unreadable
by David C. Rankin 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

Guys, I think the GTK update made the LibreOffice 'save' dialog 'document type' list box unreadable. Where you used to be able to read: "All Formats" "Open Document Text .odt" "Word 97 .doc", etc..., now the entire list is squished down into a 1/2 of screen space and is unreadable. Here is a screenshot: [107k] http://phoenix/dl/img/newGTK-bug.jpg This happened as a result of the updates this morning. The updates were: [2011-08-31 10:13] Running 'pacman -Syu' [2011-08-31 10:13] synchronizing package lists [2011-08-31 10:13] starting full system upgrade [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded apache (2.2.19-1 -> 2.2.20-1) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded b43-fwcutter (014-1 -> 015-1) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded nss (3.12.11-1 -> 3.12.11-3) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded evolution-data-server (3.0.2.1-2 -> 3.0.3-1) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded gtkhtml4 (4.0.1-1 -> 4.0.2-1) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded evolution (3.0.2-1 -> 3.0.3-1) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded gtk-update-icon-cache (2.24.5-3 -> 2.24.6-1) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded gtk2 (2.24.5-3 -> 2.24.6-1) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded firefox (6.0-1 -> 6.0.1-1) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded linux-firmware (20110727-1 -> 20110822-1) [2011-08-31 10:28] >>> Updating module dependencies.

[arch-general] only root can select/copy text using gpm
by Juan R. de Silva 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

I installed and configured gpm daemon. The daemon starts and the mouse works fine, including copy-and-paste. But only in a console were I log as root. When I open another tty and login there as a normal user, the mouse cursor is available. I mean, it is visible and moves as desired. But I can neither select nor copy anything, since drugging does not work. The whole point of installing gpm for me was to facilitate the use of Arch Wiki sources and instead of typing large pieces just copying and pasting them. Having this problem I would be forced to run 'links' in a root environment that does not seem very safe to me. Is there any solution for this, please?
