[arch-general] (no subject)

Downloading xorg-server xf86-input-mouse xf86-input-synaptics xf86-input-keyboard xf86-video-intel xorg-xinit ttf-dejavu and xterm used to be about a 30 mb download, with 91 packages to install. I just did it today, and it the download was in the low 20s, and there were only about 60 packages. Did anything change, or am I just crazy. Zack

When I open the file using nano there are only three lines and it looks like this: # # /etc/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels) # Yes I am somewhat new at this, :-). Thanks again.

by Avramucz Péter 11 Feb '09

Hi! What would you say to a wodim -> cdrecord transition? I have a bug here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13181 . And Joerg Schilling wrote me, that cdrecord is still developed. So, what do you say?

[arch-general] exists in filesystem...
by Preston C. 11 Feb '09

11 Feb '09

I am following the Beginner's Guide to try and get AL installed, and have come across a problem. I made it to the part about updating the system, before the installation of ALSA and X. Here is the problem: Two nights ago I ran pacman -Syu . For some reason it did not install properly, possibly because I did not have the network setup right at the time, because of an update to pacman. Nevertheless, I finally got around to trying again tonight, and the update this time was not 100+ MB it was 27 MB. I imagine this is because Arch Linux saved the updates downloaded the other night. Now tonight, when I ran the command pacman -Syu, after downloading 27 MB of updates, pacman was in the process of installing them and then, at the very beginning, pretty much on every package downloaded, it said that the files "exists in filesystem". Any help on fixing the exists in filesystem problem on pretty much every package, I think, would be very helpful. Thanks, Preston

I ran the command, pacman -S xorg , and it tells me that it is not found. It then asks if I want to install the whole group, which consists of around 10 xorg and xf86 packages. Thanks for any help.

[arch-general] lxc containers in kernel
by Shridhar Daithankar 10 Feb '09

10 Feb '09

Hello, lxc containers(krb5_get_init_creds_password) will be the first mainline containers to offer functionality similar to solaris zones. They aim to go mainline completely in 2.6.29 and lot of code is already is place. See http://lxc.sourceforge.net/lxc.html. Although lot of functionality is already in the current kernel, the options are not configured. $ zgrep -i namespace /proc/config.gz CONFIG_NAMESPACES=y $ uname -a Linux presario 2.6.28-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jan 25 09:43:53 UTC 2009 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-57 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux Will it be possible to add relevant kernel options? There are userspace tools available as well, which could go in another package. Is this the right way to ask for new functionality or a new ticket is required? -- Shridhar

I'll test further for some shortcomings with the new ruby. -- Gruß, Johannes Täglich http://blog.hehejo.de und du fühlst dich gut. http://cryptocd.eduforge.org/online_version
