Even when they are, acpid still has its use to handle these events on a system level, no matter if you have a user session (*DE) running or if you even have X running. My use case is to handle the suspend and hibernate buttons. -- дамјан

I, with the help of an user from the community, did a search and asked PyQt developers about this, and they say we can use those files for both versions of PyQt built with different python version. > (nb: it might also be worth noting here that the new python2-pyqt > package also breaks the python2-qscintilla package. bug report: > https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24144) Fixed.

[arch-general] Pruning the bugtracker
by JM 08 May '11

08 May '11

I have browsed through all High and Medium severity bugreports and categorized some of them here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:Fijam . 'Candidates for closing' are divided into two categories: strong and weak. Strong candidates have not been replied to in over 4 months (with some bugs seeing no activity for over a year) with the last comment asking for more information or confirmation whether the bug still persists. I have not yet started issuing closure requests but will do so in two weeks if noone replies to those reports. Weak candidates have not been replied to in less than four months, the resolution of the bug was unclear or the original submitter found another solution and failed to provide any more information. I will wait for another month before issuing closure requests. Note: jelle van der waa (jelly) asked for confirmation on many of those bugs and deserves all the praise. I have also identified some bugs where more input or a confirmation of a fix is needed and asked for it. Will try to do initial triaging on those bugs or mark them as candidates for closing if the submitter fails to respond. There was also a couple of bug reports that seemed to be going nowhere. There was either a failure in communication, unresolved argument, a patch with no feedback from the developers or a request to split a bug into two or more specific reports. These should probably be reviewed again. There are still Low and Very Low severity bugs to go through, so perhaps some other user wants to pick up where I left :) Cheers, JM

Do this: 1. Set up krb5.conf to enable proxiable and forwardable tickets 2. Set up ~/.ssh/config to enable "GSSAPIAuthentication" and "GSSAPIDelegateCredentials" 3. Use "kinit" from this krb5 package to get a new TGT 4. Use the ssh client from this openssh rebuild to connect to a server that support GSSAPI auth On some, but not all, ssh server implementations, GSSAPI auth will fail, and it will fall back to password auth. The server will log this: sshd[3822]: Forcing password authentication because no credentials delegated When using the heimdal-based builds, GSSAPI auth would work in all cases. It's entirely likely that only very old ssh servers show this problem, as that's what I'm seeing so far. Possibly there is some confusion with the new "Okay as delegate" ticket flag, which heimdal didn't support at all, and MIT krb5 only supports enough to parse and report, but has no support for setting. I don't consider this important enough to block the release of these packages, but I wanted to mention it in case someone else cares more than me.

Hi list, there seems to be a file conflict between the two packages pyqt and python2-qt python2-qt is flagged out of date, so will this be solved once the package is updated or is this a bug? Greetings Dominik
