[arch-general] GPT not recognise after swapping internal and external drives
by Laurent Kappler 12 May '11

12 May '11

Hi list, I'm changing computer, Asus A600 to a Thinkpad T60. My configuration on the Asus is an internal IDE magnetic drive and an external SATA SSD drive. The system boot from the SSD and hold the /, /home partitions. The internal IDE disk holds the /op, /var and an 3rd partition mounted somewhere else, not really important. The T60 contains an internal SATA bay. So I swaped disks, putting the SATA SSD drive inside and using the IDE disk as external. The boot menu show up, boot, but kind of fails recognising the drives, with errors like : Unhandled sense code. Still the right number of partition is recognised and and the GPT seems to work as /dev/disk/by-uuid show the right symlinks to the partitions. I launched gdisk sda which tells me no GPT but MBR yes do you want to convert your MBR to GPT....I'm not going this way. So the GPT seems broken here. I put back the disk in my Asus and it all work perfectly again. Do you know a way I could fix that? Thank you Laurent

[arch-general] conntrack does not display bytes and packets
by Vieri 12 May '11

12 May '11

Hi, Since I updated my kernel to 2.6.36 and 2.6.37, /proc/net/nf_conntrack and conntrack -L do NOT show "packets" and "bytes" even for ASSURED / REPLIED connections. It seems that both of these data (bytes and packets) have disappeared from conntrack/netfilter. Am I missing something? Is there an option somewhere to restore earlier behavior (previous kernels/netfilter would always display both bytes and packets)? Example when opening google: ipv4 2 tcp 6 431999 ESTABLISHED src=10.215.144.48 dst=209.85.147.104 sport=52531 dport=80 src=209.85.147.104 dst=10.215.144.48 sport=80 dport=52531 [ASSURED] mark=0 secmark=0 use=2 ipv4 2 tcp 6 431999 ESTABLISHED src=10.215.144.48 dst=209.85.147.104 sport=52533 dport=80 src=209.85.147.104 dst=10.215.144.48 sport=80 dport=52533 [ASSURED] mark=0 secmark=0 use=2 ipv4 2 tcp 6 431999 ESTABLISHED src=10.215.144.48 dst=209.85.147.104 sport=52530 dport=80 src=209.85.147.104 dst=10.215.144.48 sport=80 dport=52530 [ASSURED] mark=0 secmark=0 use=2 ipv4 2 tcp 6 431998 ESTABLISHED src=10.215.144.48 dst=209.85.147.104 sport=52532 dport=80 src=209.85.147.104 dst=10.215.144.48 sport=80 dport=52532 [ASSURED] mark=0 secmark=0 use=2 Previous kernel/netfilter would show something like this: tcp 6 73 TIME_WAIT src=10.215.144.7 dst=209.85.147.104 sport=35407 dport=80 packets=15 bytes=1386 src=209.85.147.104 dst=192.168.92.2 sport=80 dport=35407 packets=11 bytes=10180 [ASSURED] mark=1 use=1 (note "bytes" and "packets") Thanks, Vieri

[arch-general] Cannot Find Desktop in GNOME3
by Steve Holmes 11 May '11

11 May '11

After upgrading my box to GNOME 3 last week, I can't seem to find the desktop anywhere on my gnome setup. I use the keyboard exclusively for navigating around so I would normally use Ctrl+Alt+d to open the desktop for keyboard focus. Alas I cannot do that any more. Also, with prior versions of Gnome, pressing Ctrl+Alt+Tab would toggle you through the Bottom Panel, Top Panel, and the Desktop. Now it only toggles between the top and bottom panels. Has the desktop, as we know it, gone away? At the moment, I am using fallback mode because gnome-shell is completely broken as far as screen reader accessibility is concerned. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated; thanks.

[arch-general] Need for debug - can do i do?
by rafael ff1 10 May '11

10 May '11

HI there! I'm trying to update PCSX2 with some help of its dev team [1], but it is crashing all the time. According to 'gdb' output, it is somehow related to lib32-glibc, but it is omitting some information. I was hoping to be able to activate more verbosity, which AFAIK I can get by compiling it with some debug flags. [2] Is it correct or there is another better way to do it ? Thanks, Rafael.

[arch-general] Gnome 3, a bug?
by Magnus Therning 09 May '11

09 May '11

This is such a basic issue that I refuse to believe I'm the first to bump into this behaviour. Hence I ask here first for some help. I recently upgraded to Gnome3 and switching between windows with alt+tab is rather broken for me. Here's why I say that: 1. I make sure I have two non-overlapping windows on the screen at the same time. 2. I position the mouse pointer in one of the window. 3. At this point I can't switch focus to the other window with alt+tab. Basically I have two options: 1. Move the mouse pointer so that it's not in any window, then I can use alt+tab. 2. Move the mouse to switch focus. Neither of these is very convenient. Does anyone recognise this? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus I invented the term Object-Oriented, and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind. -- Alan Kay

[arch-general] makepkg openjd & ca-certificates-java
by Javier Vasquez 09 May '11

09 May '11

Hi, I've tried building openjdk, but it has a make dependency upon ca-certificates-java, and ca-certificates-jave also has a make dependency upon openjdk: http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/plain/openjdk6/repos/ex… http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/plain/ca-certificates-j… How is that resolved when building? Reson for asking is building on non x86 architecture... Thanks, -- Javier.
