[arch-general] cups depend on ghostscript? WAS: troubles with Brother HL-2040

It seems to me like that should be an explicit dependency for cups; is there a scenario where you could print from cups without ghostscript? I also think its interesting that cups didn't say anything about "gs" failing to run except in the "debug" log level, and the failure certainly wasn't considered fatal, even though it really was. -- Ryan W Sims

[arch-general] Problem installing webcam
by Mordechai Peller 15 May '08

Hi, I'm trying to install a sn9c201 webcam, but I can't find any drivers. On the wiki, the sn9c102 driver is listed, but not the 201. dmesg only listed the following: usb 5-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 42 usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice The device only came with (Linux) drivers for Fedora Core 4. Thanks.

[arch-general] Postgres failure after system upgrade
by richard terry 15 May '08

15 May '08

Yesterday upgraded my system which happened to include I think from memory as well as postgres 8.3 , php. Not a technical person unfortunately, but my postgres has died with the message below. I wonder if some kind soul could give me some help in tracking down the problem. I've tried looking at the below mentioned files and can't see anything wrong . Perhaps something got overwritten? An help appreciated. Richard The server doesn't accept connections: the connection library reports could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? If you encounter this message, please check if the server you're trying to contact is actually running PostgreSQL on the given port. Test if you have network connectivity from your client to the server host using ping or equivalent tools. Is your network / VPN / SSH tunnel / firewall configured correctly? For security reasons, PostgreSQL does not listen on all available IP addresses on the server machine initially. In order to access the server over the network, you need to enable listening on the address first. For PostgreSQL servers starting with version 8.0, this is controlled using the "listen_addresses" parameter in the postgresql.conf file. Here, you can enter a list of IP addresses the server should listen on, or simply use '*' to listen on all available IP addresses. For earlier servers (Version 7.3 or 7.4), you'll need to set the "tcpip_socket" parameter to 'true'. You can use the postgresql.conf editor that is built into pgAdmin III to edit the postgresql.conf configuration file. After changing this file, you need to restart the server process to make the setting effective. If you double-checked your configuration but still get this error message, it's still unlikely that you encounter a fatal PostgreSQL misbehaviour. You probably have some low level network connectivity problems (e.g. firewall configuration). Please check this thoroughly before reporting a bug to the PostgreSQL community.

[arch-general] digikam beta4 and gcc 4.3.0
by waldek 14 May '08

14 May '08

Hi, first of all I'm out of my depth here so be gentle, I was trying to compile digicam beta4 and the compilation process hangs. I found this thread that describes it: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.digikam.user/7917 the answer in digikam forum was: "I have reported this problem to CImg author (David Tschumperlé). After investiguations, he said than all come from an uncompatibilty with gcc 4.3.0 and CImg code. Note than using Gcc 4.2.3 digiKam compile fine." so I asked on CImg forums: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=2036591&forum_id=423277 and the reply was: "Anyway, this is not a bug related to CImg or GREYCstoration, since it compiles fine if you don't set the optimizations with g++ 4.3.0. Also it compiles fine with older versions of g++ (4.2.3 for instance). I suspect some bugs in the compiler optimization procedure which causes the process to hang. I admit this is very annoying, but I can't do anything to solve it, since it is clearly a problem related to the compiler." could somebody take a look at it? What do you think? Cheers waldek

Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] policy on desktop files?
by Grigorios Bouzakis 14 May '08

14 May '08

Hi, i wanted to note that there is http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Desktop_Project maintained by bardo a TU, which mentions absolutely nothing about upstream. Instead it says "I (bardo) will write/modify the necessary files and notify the corresponding maintainers so they can be added to the packages." Additionally there are links to the bug tracker. I have no idea if bardo submitts them upstream as well but i doubt it. Greg

Hello, At some point, the keyboard indicator lights stopped working. I know they aren't broken (and I've even used three separate keyboards). They used to work, but stopped at some point, but I don't remember when. Does anyone have any suggestion for this? Thanks, Scott
