Deal with it for now. :) filesizeformat [1] built-in filter to the rescue. However, I'm not sure if it'll mess up the jQuery sort thingy. To run this filter for the package compressed/installed size, the template code [2] might be modified to something like this: {% for attr in column_attrs %} <td> {% if attr == 'compressed_size' or attr == 'installed_size' %} {{ pkg|attribute:attr|filesizeformat }} {% else %} {{ pkg|attribute:attr }} {% endif %} </td> {% endfor %} [1] http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/templates/builtins/#filesizeformat [2] http://projects.archlinux.org/archweb.git/tree/templates/devel/packages.htm…

[arch-general] Blender Bus Error
by Nicolás Adamo 30 Apr '11

30 Apr '11

Hi! Does anyone have any clue about this? [nico@myhost ~]$ blender -d Blender 2.49 (sub 2) Build argv[0] = blender argv[1] = -d Compiled with Python version 2.7.1. Checking for installed Python... got it! Color depth r 5 g 6 b 5 Aux buffers: 0 read file Version 247 sub 5 read file Version 245 sub 16 ordered OBCube OBLamp OBCamera File .Blanguages not found Registering scripts in Blender menus ... Getting menu data for scripts from file: /home/nico/.blender/Bpymenus Color depth r 5 g 6 b 5 Aux buffers: 0 Color depth r 5 g 6 b 5 Aux buffers: 0 Color depth r 5 g 6 b 5 Aux buffers: 0 Bus error [nico@myhost ~]$ Running Blender alone without -d (debug) give simply "Bus error". I googled a lot about it but couldn't find nothing for certain. Some guy troubleshooted this error by deleting a file in his home directory, but that file seems to be created when running Blender for the first time. It's running on i386 atom with poulsbo driver PSB working well (to say something... it's a crappy video card and even crappier for linux, not even mention for blender). I suspect it's not related to some step missing in installation, as when installing Blender on a decent desktop PC it works at once. (AMD64 architecture with ATI videocard and catalyst driver). To my surprise, when first trying kub. 11.04 and before I could configure the video driver, blender did start! When adding the ppa:PSB or similar the system couldn't start again. So I think the problem is related to some missconfiguration in the PSB. My xorg.conf: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "psb" Option "ShadowFB" "true" Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Device0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768_75.00" EndSubSection EndSection Any clue will be apretiated.

[arch-general] Printer driver
by Maciej Sobkowski 29 Apr '11

29 Apr '11

Hi, I want to install driver for my Brother DCP-J315W printer. I've downloaded driver files from brother's site, since there is no package, neither in repo nor in aur. It was in deb format, also rpm available. The driver is split into two packages: dcpj315wlpr and dcpj315wcupswrapper. I converted them to tar.gz archive with deb2targz, extracted and I don't know where to put the files to get the driver working. Hierarchy in cupswrapper: /usr/local/Brother/Printer/dcpj315w/cupswrapper/, and there are brcupsconfpt1 brdcpj315w.ppd cupswrapperdcpj315w files. In lpr there is /usr/local/Brother/Printer/dcpj315w/lpd/ where are brdcpj315wfilter filterdcpj315w psconvertij2, and /usr/local/Brother/Printer/dcpj315w/inf/ where are brdcpj315wfunc brio08ba.bcm brio08bc.bcm brio08bf.bcm brio08bk.bcm paperinfij2 brdcpj315wrc brio08bb.bcm brio08be.bcm brio08bg.bcm ImagingArea setupPrintcapij and also usr/bin with brprintconf_dcpj315w. Should I put them in these directories in my system? maciejjo

The file /etc/crontab must exist, even if it's empty, or inotify support will be disabled at runtime. As packaged, without this file: 2011-04-27T09:16:16-04:00 <cron.info> akherou /usr/sbin/crond[21437]: (CRON) STARTUP (1.4.7) 2011-04-27T09:16:16-04:00 <cron.err> akherou /usr/sbin/crond[21437]: (CRON) This directory or file can't be watched (/etc/crontab): No such file or directory 2011-04-27T09:16:16-04:00 <cron.info> akherou /usr/sbin/crond[21437]: (CRON) INFO (running without inotify support) After doing "touch /etc/crontab": 2011-04-27T10:14:22-04:00 <cron.info> akherou /usr/sbin/crond[22784]: (CRON) STARTUP (1.4.7) 2011-04-27T10:14:22-04:00 <cron.info> akherou /usr/sbin/crond[22784]: (CRON) INFO (running with inotify support) I suggest including an empty /etc/crontab in this package, as you made a conscious decision to enable inotify support in the build. Possibly it should have some comments in it explaining why it has no content, instead of a literally empty file. Other than that, this package is working fine for me, nice work.

In the case of redland-1.0.13-1 and redland-compat-1.0.12-1 that means I cannot have both at the same time. Which means I have to choose between kdelibs (depends on soprano, hence redland-compat) and slv2 (depends on redland-1.0.13) (or, in my system, between having KDE software and having ardour). Any way around this? I'm wondering why redland-compat isn't at the same version as redland, though I'm sure if this has been done there's a pretty good reason.

[arch-general] Postfix_Tutorial wiki info out of date?
by David C. Rankin 26 Apr '11

26 Apr '11

Guys, Looking at the postfix tutorial wiki, it looks like the dovecot/spamassassin information is out of date. Not being that familiar with each, I didn't want to drop a note flagging it until somebody else had looked, but the dovecot config information looked like the old dovecot-1 config. Can somebody familiar with dovecot and spamassassin drop by the page a check whether the information there is still good info? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Postfix_Tutorial I was looking for the spamassassin information in particular. I have spamassassin set up with dovecot and postfix and I have been training it, but it doesn't seem like it is flagging any spam? I am using an old setup to filter mail through spamassassin with postfix main.cf: mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -a "$EXTENSION" and then a .procmailrc file in $HOME, but looking at the logs, it doesn't look like anything has been filtered in months. (I was working on chasing that down.) If the page is out-of-date, I'll fill in the new spamassassin information when I get the source of my issue figured out. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
