Can it be removed if some of the packages are built custom? I like having volume control for HDMI out. And I like that this mysterious starving audio, playing silence, glitch has disappeared. But I don't like that pulse uses so much CPU and i think it's a major reason why my computer is runn 5-8 degrees C hotter with gnome3

[arch-general] Archiso, archiso_early, and udev issues with live cd
by Tom medhurst 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

Hi Guys, I'm attempting to create my own Arch Live CD and I can't get the archiso hook to complete successfully. In March 2010, Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi removed the archiso_early hook from archiso.git, which used to mount /dev/archiso (I'm not entirely sure what this pointed to, but it's clearly required). In the commit message he said it was removed because we could rely on /dev/disk/by-label to get the device (created by udev). However I have built a custom live CD using mkarchiso and there is no /dev/disk available to me, so this boot process fails. I was just wondering if anyone knew why this is missing, and what I can do to get this booting? My mkinitcpio.conf file looks like this: *HOOKS="base udev memdisk archiso archiso_pxe_nbd archiso_loop_mnt pata scsi sata usb fw pcmcia filesystems usbinput"* So udev is definately being run before archiso, but I only have the following in /dev: - char - console - cpu_dma_latency - full - hpet - input - kmem - kmsg - loop0 - mcelog - mem - network_latency - network_throughput - null - port - psaux - ptmx - random - rtc - rtc0 - snapshot - tty - tty0-63 - ttyS0-3 - urandom - vcs - vcs1 - vcsa - vcsa1 - vga_arbiter - zero Thanks, tommed

[arch-general] gnome3
by Juan Diego Tascón 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

Good day mates. Today I installed gnome3 with "pacman -S gnome-shell testing/gnome" and I'm running it with startx using "exec ck-launch-session gnome-session" on my .xinitrc. I got it working with a recently created user (empty $HOME) but I can't however get it working with my own user, all I get is a black screen with a mouse pointer on it. I've already tried deleting .gnome2* and .gconf*. Is there something else I'm missing here? any ideas? Thank you!

by David C. Rankin 07 Apr '11

Just FYI Arch Devs - Hylafax needs a patch to build with gcc 4.5. You may want to wait for 6.0.6 for the next version update. Details from the ifax devs below: -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [hylafax-users] Error building 6.0.5 on Arch Linux /sys/stat.h:299:47: error: declaration of ‘int fchmod(int, __mode_t) throw ()’ throws different exceptions Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2011 08:52:50 -0400 From: Aidan Van Dyk <aidan(a)ifax.com> To: David C. Rankin <drankinatty(a)suddenlinkmail.com> CC: hfax <hylafax-users(a)hylafax.org> You'll want to apply this: http://git.hylafax.org/HylaFAX?a=commitdiff;h=b0d873c950a72aa568d2fcfe7dbc8… I still believe this is a bug in GCC 4.5+, where they turned something every other compiler handles a fatal error, causing configure not to find the declaration for fchmod (and thus declare it's own in port.h). I doubt anyone will be able to convince GCC of this ;-) See: http://bugs.hylafax.org/show_bug.cgi?id=924 configure has been changed in HylaFAX to not tickle that particular property of GCC. That fix was applied to the 6.0 branch after 6.0.5 was released, but no distros were based on GCC 4.5+ yet at that time. I guess it's time for 6.0.6 release... a.

[arch-general] Where should system-wide vim files go?
by Oon-Ee Ng 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

I installed vim-peaksea from the AUR the other day and couldn't use it, because it installed in /usr/share/vim/colors/peaksea.vim. This seems a fairly standard directory, but its not in runtimepath on a fresh install (AFAIK). Checked out some other vim colour-themes on the AUR, the majority seem to install to the same location. Some choose /usr/share/vim/vim** instead, but that breaks when vim updates. Perhaps /usr/share/vim/vimfiles makes more sense (only found one PKGBUILD using that so far). So what's the 'correct' behaviour? The vim split package doesn't seem to do any patches affecting runtimepath, so probably I assume runtimepath is an upstream default. In that case, should AUR packages correct their location? Posting to arch-general because it overlaps and isn't solely an AUR issue.

[arch-general] Gnome 3 and gcc 4.6 in Fedora 15
by Bernardo Barros 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

I just look at the list of new Features for Fedora 15.. It will have Gnome 3 and gcc 4.6 and a bunch of other things. This means that those projects are reaching a "stable" phase now? They are currently considered unstable and/or in testing on Arch Any predictions on the current and near future status of these projects in Arch? cheers, Bernardo
