[arch-general] Gnome3 and Gnome2
by Tom 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

So, now that Gnome 3 has been released, and after reading the announcement that it will 'by default' replace gnome2 in the near future, I'd like to ask if there are any plans on 'keeping' gnome2 around for use with arch linux. I ask this, because I've been using gnome3 from the unstable repository, and know, that a lot of people are not going to like the change, especially because so called 'fall-back-mode' is just a joke, and gnome-shell, at least to me is plain broken. I'm merely voicing my opinion here, no flames :-P But to have a choice would be great! Tom

[arch-general] kernel26-2.6.38.2-1 and lilo
by Geoff 11 Apr '11

I hope this does not count as noise on this list, but can anybody confirm / deny that the lilo issue which I read about here has been resolved in the kernel version now available for download?

by Frederic Bezies 11 Apr '11

Hello. This morning, I upgraded on testing gcc 4.6.0 to version 4.6.0-2 I try to get mozilla trunk code to get build, and I get a segfault while compiling a file.

[arch-general] [gcc-multilib] double links to isl 0.05 and 0.06?
by Oon-Ee Ng 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

Using [testing] and [multilib-testing], hence gcc-multilib-4.6.0-2 - trying to compile with gcc gives this error /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.6.0/cc1: error while loading shared libraries: libisl.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory If I install isl-0.05 instead, it will give the same error but for libisl.so.6. gcc from [testing] doesn't give that error. Could someone else quickly help me check if they get the same? If so I'll submit a bug report.

[arch-general] weird stuff: segfault in libc and other things
by solsTiCe d'Hiver 10 Apr '11

10 Apr '11

hi. I switched to [testing] to get gnome 3. I found that it was a pretty bad timing because I saw that pacman updated the kernel to 2.6.38 too, and the glibc, and nvidia drivers ! and gnome 3 all in one go. Oh my..; with gnome 3, I got the gnome-shell segfaulting quite often when I hit the left top corner. or bottom right corner. got log like Apr 8 19:02:34 soho kernel: gnome-shell[17340]: segfault at 938 ip b52aa518 sp bfcef0a0 error 4 in libnvidia-glcore.so.270.30[b4423000 +16b3000] in /var/log/messages.log and just during the last 30 minutes, all the pc gone "crazy": chromium stopped to respond. conky stopped to be refreshed. starting a new shell in a terminal worked but a rm on a file get stuck for no reason. I switched to a console and log in as root and never got a prompt. I had to hard reset (I lost no files: the journal has ben replayed fine) So I got call trace of chromium crashing in /var/log/messages.log but other soft too. This is a snippet of my /var/log/messages.log http://paste.pocoo.org/show/368742/ Is it a badblock on my /home (reiserfs) partition that produce that behavior ? I have done a reiserfsck and a badblock check on the /home partition and it found nothing. is it the kernel ? the libc ? I saw a convert process that segfaulted in libc ??
