Sorry if you had already read about this question on the BBS, but I didn't get any response there. I have only ibus installed. Packages updated from the last day it was fine working to the day I found the problem are: file (5.06-1 -> 5.07-1) usbutils (002-2 -> 002-3) util-linux (2.19-4 -> 2.19.1-1) catalyst-utils (11.5-1 -> 11.5-2) kernel26-headers (2.6.38.6-1 -> 2.6.38.6-2) kernel26 (2.6.38.6-1 -> 2.6.38.6-2) linux-firmware (20110227-1 -> 20110512-2) gnutls (2.12.4-1 -> 2.12.5-1) udev (167-2 -> 168-1) initscripts (2011.04.1-2 -> 2011.05.2-1) binutils (2.21-7 -> 2.21-8) gcc (4.6.0-4 -> 4.6.0-5) gcc-libs (4.6.0-4 -> 4.6.0-5) gmp (5.0.1-2 -> 5.0.2-1) gstreamer0.10 (0.10.32-1 -> 0.10.34-1) gstreamer0.10-base (0.10.32-4 -> 0.10.34-1) kbd (1.15.2-1 -> 1.15.3-1) poppler (0.16.4-1 -> 0.16.5-1) poppler-glib (0.16.4-1 -> 0.16.5-1) util-linux (2.19.1-1 -> 2.19.1-2) Anyone can tell me what's wrong? -- 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 Facebook: Carl Lei Twitter: XeCycle Blog: http://xecycle.blogspot.com Fri, 27 May 2011 17:23:15 +0800

[arch-general] Future of 'kernel26'
by Bernardo Barros 30 May '11

30 May '11

Hi there, There are rumors that the next version number of the Linux Kernel is going to be 3.0. Since we choosed 'kernel26' as the package name, we will have to modify it anyway. Why not just 'linux 3.0'? Just an idea.. since we have the fellow project 'Arch Hurd' providing 'hurd' as an alternative different kernel already. Best, Bernardo

Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] removing load-modules.sh from udev

Is there any good reason to keep current behaviour (perhaps an Arch-specific udev rule which parses MODULES for blacklisting?) Just something I noticed when reading the mail, I don't really see a problem with doing things the upstream way.

[arch-general] After kdelibs and workspace last package updates KDE is not working properly.
by Álvaro Villalba Navarro 29 May '11

29 May '11

Hi list, I upgraded kdelibs, kdeworkspace, kdeedu and networkmanagement plasmoid yesterday (except for the last one, it was just a package upgrade) and after that the kde cookies service is not working anymore (neither for konqueror nor for rekonq). System tray now has the old colorful icons, instead of the 4.6 white and minimalist ones (that's not an really an issue, it's just weird), and everytime I try to enable the networkmanagement plasmoid the whole plasma crashes and reboots without the plasmoid enabled. I've noticed more weird things in its behaviour, but I don't remember it now, so if it happens again I'll say it here. Has anybody the same problem? Does anybody know what this package upgrade was supposed to do? -- Álvaro Villalba Navarro

[arch-general] Light modification needed for future LibreOffice language package.
by Frederic Bezies 28 May '11

28 May '11

Hello. I've built successfully LibreOffice 3.4.0rc2, using testing version of PKGBUILD and related files. The only hard point was to make translation building too. There is a light modification to be added in every single language package script. Instead of having for every language : cd "${srcdir}"/LibO_3.3.2rc2_Linux_x86_langpack-rpm_as/RPMS mkdir -p "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib/libreoffice/basis-link cp -R opt/libreoffice/basis${_oomainver}/* "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib/libreoffice/basis-link cp -R opt/libreoffice/{program,readmes} "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib/libreoffice you must use - for 3.4.0rc2, needs to be adapted, first line at least : cd "${srcdir}"/LibO_3.4.0rc2_Linux_x86_langpack-rpm_fr/RPMS mkdir -p "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib/libreoffice/basis-link cp -R opt/libreoffice${_oomainver}/basis${_oomainver}/* "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib/libreoffice/basis-link cp -R opt/libreoffice${_oomainver}/readmes "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib/libreoffice Programs are not anymore in /opt/libreoffice, but in /opt/libreoffice/basis. Just want to help. Feel free to copy / redirect this message where needed ;) Have a good day. -- Frederic Bezies - fredbezies(a)gmail.com Blog : http://frederic.bezies.free.fr/blog/

[arch-general] Unable to change file and folder icon theme to Human
by Madhurya Kakati 28 May '11

28 May '11

Hi, I am using archlinux with gnome 3. I am trying hard to change my icon theme to human but it just doesnt change. ~/.gtkrc-2.0 http://pastie.org/1983860 and ~/.gtkrc.mine http://pastie.org/1983863. I tried lxappearance too. After I click on apply and close it gnome kinda restarts and when i open nautilus it shows no change. I had tango icon theme so i deleted that dir from /usr/share/icons. Now it has switched to the default gnome icon theme. How do i change it to Human icon theme? also when i run pcmanfm i get the following output in terminal ** (pcmanfm:3532): DEBUG: unable to load icon . GThemedIcon application-x-bittorrent gnome-mime-application-x-bittorrent application-x-generic ** (pcmanfm:3532): DEBUG: unable to load icon . GThemedIcon application-x-xpinstall gnome-mime-application-x-xpinstall application-x-generic

[arch-general] dmraid fail after update to 2.6.38-7.1 - Fallback OK - Sleep hook needed after udev needed?
by David C. Rankin 28 May '11

28 May '11

Tobias, Thomas, all, After update to 2.6.38-7.1 I am experiencing a dmraid failure. It also affects the LTS kernel. The Fallback image boots fine. The failure produces the following error (retyped from RAMFS console): boot messages: Activating dmraid arrays... no block devices found Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/mapper/nvidia_baaccajap5 Root device '/dev/mapper/nvidia_baaccajap5' doesn't exist attempting to create it. Error: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device '/dev/mapper/nvidia_baaccajap5' In the past, Thomas has mentioned: <quote> This might just be a timing problem: dmraid -ay might be called before /dev/sd* is fully set up and detected - we had these problems in the past already. The 'sleep' hook put after the udev hook can work around that. </quote> I'll give the sleep hook a go and report back. I have updated 3 dmraid systems with 2.6.38-7.1 and I only have this problem on one box. (2 - x86_64, 1 - i686). Since Fallback works fine, this seems like the timing problem. If anyone else can confirm this or suggest additional tests, I'm happy to try them. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
