[arch-general] audacious2
by Jorge Almeida 18 Apr '11

18 Apr '11

Anyone knows what happened to audacious2? I checked the main page of Arch. The "recent updates" list doesn't mention it. Is there some place one should check often to avoid this kind of surprise? I still would like to play music on linux. audacious (without the 2) doesn't work. Maybe because I only have a spdif connection to the external DAC/amplifier and there is no way to tell audacious to use it? TIA Jorge Almeida

[arch-general] gnome-shell - massive cpu usage in dual screen mode
by Christoph Glaubitz 16 Apr '11

16 Apr '11

Hi, I installed gnome3 from testing today, and it works fine so far. But in dual screen mode, the gnome-shell uses between 50 and 100% cpu continuous. Just after login, without any other programs running. If I switch off one of my displays - it does not matter which one, the laptop display or the vga plugged - gnome-shell runs on 1% cpu usage again. It is also possible to switch between the displays without problems, as long as one of them is switched off. Since this is a 6(?) year old Intel 915GM chipset, it's maybe just related to too little grafical power. Is anyone able to confirm this on a more powerful machine? -- chris

Here are 2 examples: blueman-applet [papul@papuldesktop ~]$ blueman-applet Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/blueman-applet", line 26, in <module> import pynotify File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/pynotify/__init__.py", line 19, in <module> import gtk File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 40, in <module> from gtk import _gtk ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so: undefined symbol: gtk_combo_box_set_entry_text_column Sonata [papul@papuldesktop ~]$ sonata Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/sonata", line 126, in <module> import gtk File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 40, in <module> from gtk import _gtk ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/_gtk.so: undefined symbol: gtk_combo_box_set_entry_text_column Please tell me whats wrong and how do i solve this problem?

[arch-general] [translation] Pacman 3.5.2 string freeze
by Dan McGee 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

This is a message to all past/present/future translators that I'd like to do the pacman 3.5.2 release around the end of this week, so if you could take a look at the translations and get them up to date that would be great: https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/archlinux-pacman/r/3-5-2/ There are only a handful of new and/or changed strings (6 to 20 depending on the language and last update), so updating should be quick for most languages. There are also a handful of languages that have not seen an update in a bit, and would appreciate your help: Catalan, Danish, Portuguese, Slovak, Swedish, Ukrainian, and Norwegian Bokmål. To the German translator, as I got no feedback after the initial comment: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23575 Thanks everyone! Please direct your questions/comments to the pacman-dev ML or include me in any replies as I no longer receive arch-general mailing list posts. -Dan

Hi archers, Is there a way to display the packages grouped by repository with the "pacman -Su"? I'd like to organize the package display information by repository. Thanks

[arch-general] [signoff] udev-167-1
by Tobias Powalowski 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

Hi guys. udev 167 ======== Bugfixes. The udev runtime data moved from /dev/.udev/ to /run/udev/. The /run mountpoint is supposed to be a tmpfs mounted during early boot, available and writable to for all tools at any time during bootup, it replaces /var/run/, which should become a symlink some day. If /run does not exist, or is not writable, udev will fall back using /dev/.udev/. On systemd systems with initramfs and LVM used, packagers must make sure, that the systemd and initramfs versions match. The initramfs needs to create the /run mountpoint for udev to store the data, and mount this tmpfs to /run in the rootfs, so the that the udev database is preserved for the udev version started in the rootfs. The command 'udevadm info --convert-db' is gone. The udev daemon itself, at startup, converts any old database version if necessary. The systemd services files have been reorganized. The udev control socket is bound by systemd and passed to the started udev daemon. The udev-settle.service is no longer active by default. Services which can not handle hotplug setups properly need to actively pull it in, to act like a barrier. Alternatively the settle service can be unconditionally 'systemctl'enabled, and act like a barrier for basic.target. The fstab_import callout is no longer built or installed. Udev should not be used to mount, does not watch changes to fstab, and should not mirror fstab values in the udev database. please signoff both arches, greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-general] mdadm segfaults with kernel 2.6.38.2
by Norbert Zeh 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

Hi folks, I just upgraded to the latest kernel. The /etc/rc.d/mdadm script, which starts mdadm in monitor mode, reports a segmentation fault in mdadm --monitor --oneshot --scan. I also tried to manually start, e.g., mdadm --monitor /dev/md0, and get a segmentation fault there, too. Since this did not happen before the kernel upgrade and mdadm interacts rather closely with the kernel, I suspect that some change in the latest kernel is to blame for this. Did anybody else run into the same problem? Where would I start debugging it?
