[arch-general] preserve db tarballs
by Caleb Cushing 29 Mar '10

29 Mar '10

when the files like core.db.tar.gz are downloaded they aren't preserved right? is there any way to configure pacman to preserve them? my problem is that I've switched to using wget and that now these are always downloaded... out of date or not. I imagine it's because wget doesn't actually have a file to check because they aren't preserved. I use wget because I throttle the download, I can easily fill my ADSL. -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com

[arch-general] Pulseaudio doesn't see the correct sound card.
by "Jérôme M. Berger" 28 Mar '10

28 Mar '10

Hi, I have two "sound cards": one is the integrated sound card on my motherboard and the other is the HDMI output from my video card. The integrated sound works fine with ALSA, but when I tried using pulseaudio, it only sees the HDMI card (according to pactl list). I tried changing /etc/pulse/default.pa: - First, I tried replacing module-udev-detect with module-detect. This resulted in pulse seeing the integrated sound card, but only the S/PDIF output, not the speakers; - Then I tried removing autodetection and using module-alsa-sink directly, but the pulse daemon failed to load the module. Anybody knows how I can get pulse to see my alsa sound card? Thanks, Jerome -- mailto:jeberger@free.fr http://jeberger.free.fr Jabber: jeberger(a)jabber.fr

[arch-general] The libgmp update
by Hilton Medeiros 27 Mar '10

27 Mar '10

Hello, just to confirm, all the packages linked against the new libgmp should follow 'coreutils' example and use 'gmp>=5.0', right? I just saw that gnunet didn't. Cheers, Hilton

[arch-general] Firefox Spellcheck Missing
by Carlos Mennens 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

I just installed Firefox from Pacman repositories and noticed that I don't have the default add-on spell checker for Mozilla Firefox. I was afraid to download some crappy 3rd party spell checker add-on for Firefox and just wanted a plain English spell checker since I am the worst speller. Can anyone please help me and tell me how I can install / download the default Firefox English spell checker?

[arch-general] Vim Syntax Highlighter
by Carlos Mennens 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

I noticed today when editing a config file for Postfix in Vim that one value was listed in white text only and everything else was in color. This lead me to beleive the value or parameter was wrong or not being recognized by Postfix configuration but it is. I asked Postfix and the said: "Your VIM syntax highlighter is out of date" Can anyone tell me if there is a way to update this manually if I have the latest version of Vim in my Arch repo?

[arch-general] gsfonts - package is updated?
by Ng Oon-Ee 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Repository : extra Name : gsfonts Version : 1.0.7pre44-1 Installed : 8.11-5 URL : http://sourceforge.net/projects/gs-fonts/ I'm assuming this is a simple mess upstream on non-consecutive version numbers? The linked sourceforge page still lists 8.11 as the stable version, while the one currently in extra is listed as 'pre' (and doesn't seem available in the sourceforge page?
