by Frederic Bezies 15 Sep '11

Sorry for answering this way, I enabled digest version of this mailing list. Thanks Ionut for the info. I build by myself new nvidia drivers, and there working quite right. So, I will wait until next xorg release, keeping fingers crossed meanwhile. Have a good day. -- Frederic Bezies - fredbezies(a)gmail.com Blog : http://frederic.bezies.free.fr/blog/

[arch-general] ejecting after cdparanoia
by Jorge Almeida 15 Sep '11

15 Sep '11

I just used cdparanoia (for the very first time) and I tried to eject the CD by pressing the button. Nothing happens. I can eject the CD with "eject /dev/sr0", so it's not really a big problem. I just wonder whether this behavior is normal. I'm used to cdda2wav (from cdrtools), and it never happened, that I recall. Note that cdparanoia ended normally ( and successfully, BTW). I run it with speed 1. The drive is: $ cdrecord dev=1,0,0 -checkdrive Cdrecord-ProDVD-ProBD-Clone 3.00 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2010 Jörg Schilling scsidev: '1,0,0' scsibus: 1 target: 0 lun: 0 Linux sg driver version: 3.5.34 Using libscg version 'schily-0.9'.

[arch-general] [signoff] texlive-bin 2011.1-1 and texlive-* 2011.*
by Rémy Oudompheng 15 Sep '11

15 Sep '11

Hello, TeXLive 2011 has been officially released. Packages in [testing] have been updated to reflect this. * biblatex-biber is not packaged and depends and a whole lot of Perl packages. You can find it on AUR, or some for some developer to package it and its dependencies * eptex format generation fails, I don't understand how to fix it, so if anyone has an idea... Rémy.

This is the first hiccup I've noticed since installing the pacman-4.0.0.rc1. I put a copy of the pacman log for the last two days and the error messages I'm receiving here: http://pastebin.com/WsCJPpqk . This is a sample of the error, :: File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/avahi-0.6.30-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)). It was the same for device-mapper, eject, fakeroot, and lvm2. I tried changing mirrors from rit.edu to mirrors1.kernel.org and resyncing with pacman -Syy. I still received the same errors. Other packages upgraded just fine, inetutils; net-tools; atool. Since I'm not familiar enough with the pacman code I'm not sure where to go next. If I need to file a bug report I will be glad to. Thanks. Myra -- Life's fun when your sick and psychotic!

[arch-general] imagemagick and calibre have problems with libtool in testing
by Myra Nelson 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

Not sure this warrants a bug report but here's what happened. I'm running testing repositories and building my own packages, after I upgraded libtool last night calibre would not start. Did crtl + alt + F1 to read the error message and found this -- imagemagick cannot load libltdl.so.7. This prevented calibre from running. Solution was to rebuild imagemagick against the new libltdl installation then rebuilt calibre (possibly and unneeded step but did it anyway). Everything works fine now. Just thought I would pass this on in case anyone else has the same problem. Myra -- Life's fun when your sick and psychotic!

[arch-general] CIFS gives input/output error
by Pavel Löbl 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

Hi, I'm having trouble using my public samba share. The server setup is following (some lines omitted) ... security = user map to guest = Bad User unix extensions = no [public] path = /srv/samba comment = Public Share public = yes browsable = yes available = yes writable = yes and this is related part of the fstab on the client. //lada/public /mnt/samba cifs gid=network,dir_mode=0770,file_mode=0770,noauto,password=none,workgroup=PRIVAT 0 0 Basically it works but when i transfer some larger file, after a couple of minutes, i get the input/output error. This is all i've found in log files. /var/log/samba/192.168.2.218.log [2011/09/12 19:44:05.305132, 0] smbd/process.c:244(read_packet_remainder) read_fd_with_timeout failed for client 0.0.0.0 read error = NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_RESET.

I'm not sure but it seems to me this is caused by the client side ? I've tried to enable unix extensions and simplify mount options but it didn't help either. Both machines are running arch, samba is 3.6.0-8 and cifs 4.9-3. I'm quite new to samba so any help would be greatly appreciated. pl

[arch-general] no desktop: howto change default browser?
by clemens fischer 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

Hi, when using eg. "evince" to view a PDF document, links open in "epiphany", which seems to be a gnome default browser. I need to change this, but all the links the <search engine> comes up with hint at using menus like "system -> ... -> browser". I only run a window-manager, no desktop, so there's no such thing as a "system" menu entry. I have used "gconf-editor", added the directory chain "~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/{http,https}" with keys "command" -> 'firefox "%s"', "enabled" -> ticked, "needs_terminal" -> not-ticked, but these settings don't help. Does somebody know how to change the setting for default-browser when no desktop is used? clemens

[arch-general] Mongodb 2.0.0 out for testing in [community-testing]
by Thomas Dziedzic 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

Hello, I will keep mongodb 2.0.0 in [community-testing] for a day or 2 so that users can test it out. Please report any issues you have. I switched to using the new --shutdown flag in the rc.d script to stop the daemon. I have tested the new mongodb and everything seems to work fine for me, but I want to be cautious and not have a repeat of last time I changed something in mongodb :) Have fun testing!

Hi, I'm using Arch64. The latest updated for libtool(-multilib) and libltdl breaks some software (transmission-gtk, emacs): "emacs: error while loading shared libraries: libltdl.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" -- Among a people generally corrupt, liberty cannot long exist. --Edmund Burke
