[arch-general] editors graphic, video new (to archlinux) encoder decoder theora
by andrew james 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

news at 2009 09 http://theora.org/news/ the library encoder decoder theora version 1.1 was rewritten. It is "largely an improvement to the Theora encoder <http://hacks.mozilla.org/2009/09/theora-1-1-released/>" this library is old in the repository arch also, ffmpeg2theora, "A simple converter to create Ogg Theora files", is a binary that (I know slightly) depends to the library is old in the repository arch. ffmpeg2theora-0.25 'use new libtheora 1.1' http://v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/index.html I am inexperienced with package management, for example the maintainers may know a conflicts or insecurity that is the reason to serve the old. However, this news is relevant. I will continue to act as a reporter to improve the quality of our community. andrew

[arch-general] Nouveau doesn't get loaded without config file?
by Magnus Therning 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

I had some problems with my Xorg nv driver this morning, and people suggested I switch to the nouveau driver instead. When trying it X didn't seem to notice that it's available. Do I really need to have an X configuration file in order to use it? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

[arch-general] [signoff] mdadm-3.1-1
by Tobias Powalowski 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

Hi bump to latest version, please signoff. Due to lack of hardware also users can signoff. Please update and recreate your initcpio after upgrading. One thing i observed, when using a custom /etc/mdadm.conf file our rc.sysinit will run mdadm --assemble --scan, which will always give exit code 2, due to devices busy. Thanks. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa(a)archlinux.org

[arch-general] WARNING: openntpd upgrade breaks openssh on next restart
by Vesa Kaihlavirta 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

Hey, I made a screwup on the openntpd package which nastily reveals a weakness in openssh and filesystems. I moved away from using /var/empty/ as a privsep directory, and removed the directory from the package. But since it's empty, it got removed from the system as well in the upgrade. So if you're using openntpd and openssh, BE EXTRA CAREFUL with your next upgrade. openssh does not start if /var/empty/ is not there. Quick fix: after doing pacman -Suy, do mkdir /var/empty as root. Longer fix: openssh, or perhaps the filesystems package should create /var/empty/ and put a hidden file in it so idiots like me won't cause accidents in the future. --vk

[arch-general] Teeworlds package is broken?
by Mathieu Pasquet 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

Hi, The teeworlds package from community seems broken since the last update (0.5.2). Here is what I get with the new package on ctf5 - for those who play teeworlds - (tee skins are personals): http://pix.mathieui.net/?action=search&method=tag&tag=teeworlds . That's really weird, and the original version from teeworlds website works fine, so I wonder what's going on.

[arch-general] how to boot Windows and Arch...
by Preston C. 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

Hi, I have two hard disks installed in my computer. One for Windows and the other for Arch Linux. I have tried to install Arch several times but get a message write after I click "Arch Linux" from the boot menu- it has something to do with "Error 17". I have come to see that my Grub configuration file is not configured properly. The problem is I do not know how to configure it properly- so that I can use Windows and Arch. The way I would like to go about choosing which OS I would like to use is by selecting it from the Grub boot menu. Although, if I have to choose a disk to boot from in the BIOS, than that is not a problem either. I have read on the Arch Wiki and the Grub Wiki, yet, do not know exactly how to properly configure the Grub configuration file to handle both OS's. Thanks for any help. Preston
