[arch-general] Raising identical task against multiple packages?
by Magnus Therning 24 Apr '10

24 Apr '10

Is there a way to raise an identical task against multiple packages in FlySpray? I'd like to raise a task against all binary haskell-* packages, but I'd rather like to avoid wearing out my mouse doing it ;-) /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

[arch-general] X server gets shifted to Ctrl+Alt+F8
by Karol Babioch 24 Apr '10

24 Apr '10

Hi, I'm not quite sure how to call this issue, maybe that's the reason, why I couldn't find anything on google nor in the bugtracker :(. I'm using the X server with GDM (Gnome), which is attached to Ctrl+Alt +F7 (btw: How do you call this?) during startup. Pretty normal. But as soon as I restart the X server (using Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, but it doesn't matter) the X server gets attached to the next free "combo", which is quite obviously Ctrl+Alt+F8, whereas Ctrl+Alt+F7 shows just a blinking cursor. Interestingly this just happens once, so restarting the X server doesn't change anything, it stays attached to Ctrl+Alt+F8. I guess this could be known by some of you, I've experienced this on different machines already, but due to the fact that I don't know how to call this issue, I couldn't find any work-around. So, first of all I would like to know, whether you can reproduce this? Secondly I would like to know where the consoles are set up, so I can set up a seventh console, so the X server will get started on Ctrl+Alt +F8 in the first place. This has a different reason. My F8 key has a LCD printed on it (as it is also a function key to switch the output between the LCD and an attached monitor), so this would be a cool thing ;). But I don't know whether this would fix my main issue, or if the X server would then be shifted to Ctrl+Alt+F9. -- Best regards, Karol Babioch <karol(a)babioch.de>

[arch-general] openoffice + lprng
by Javier Vasquez 24 Apr '10

24 Apr '10

Hi, I have openoffice installed as well as lprng. Lprng used to work for openoffice providing I believe "Generic Printer" or similar. Some time back for it work under any gtk-2 application (like firefox) I had to add to the gtkrc: gtk-print-backends = "file,lpr,cups" This is still working for firefox and other gtk-2 applications, however it doen't help at all to openoffice. I launched spadmin to see if I could actually add a printer manually. But it doens't work, the most that can be done is trying to install a driver. So no luck... Has any one made lprng work properly with openoffice? Thanks, -- Javier.

[arch-general] /sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/ is not a symbolic link
by slubman 24 Apr '10

24 Apr '10

Since the openssl update, whenever I install or update a package with pacman, I've got this message as the last pacman output line when a package is installed (a new package or an update) /sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/ is not a symbolic link But everything runs fine AFAIK. I'm using x86_64. Does someone know where is it coming from ? And How can I get rid off this message ? -- slubman site : http://www.slubman.info/

Hi all, I'm trying to install Novell Moonlight plugin 3.0 preview 6 <http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/prerelease.aspx>.

[arch-general] gstreamer0.10-good-plugins need a whole load of GNOME stuff?
by Ananda Samaddar 22 Apr '10

22 Apr '10

Is there some reason that the gstreamer good plugins set needs a whole load of GNOME crap? http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/gstreamer0.10-good-plugins/ I've recently switched to XFCE and I'd like to avoid GNOME dependencies. Is it possible to recompile from abs without all these dependencies? thanks, Ananda
