02 Jul '08

Hello, I see that mc with utf8 support is in extra now, so I delete mc-utf8 from community and ask someone who can do it: please reassign http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10376 to the new maintainer.

[arch-general] system call numbers on amd64
by Michael Krauss 29 Jun '08

29 Jun '08

Hello arch users! I am running Arch64: [mickraus@gandalf lib]\$ uname -m x86_64 Looking into /usr/include/asm/unistd.h, it uses unistd_64.h on AMD64. According to this file the _exit syscall has number 60. But on my machine I have to use syscall 1 instead, as listed in unistd_32.h. Here is an example code for nasm (the version in extra repo is far deprecated by the way, had to compile a newer version by myself): ; tiny.asm BITS 64 GLOBAL _start SECTION .text _start: mov eax,1 mov ebx,42 int 0x80 This works. But changing the 1 to 60 breaks. Build procedure: [mickraus@gandalf elf]\$ nasm -f elf64 tiny.asm [mickraus@gandalf elf]\$ gcc -s -Wall -nostdlib tiny.o [mickraus@gandalf elf]\$ ./a.out; echo $? 42 What is my error here? Kind regards, Michael Krauss

28 Jun '08

So like a dumbass I asked for Firefox3 and now I gotta a POS that keeps crashing. I upgraded firefox to: local/firefox 3.0-1 Standalone web browser from mozilla.org Meebo kills it along with running multiple tabs and a java download so I downloaded 3.0 stable as of today and it's running fine. Maybe the package maintainer can update it to the stable version of 3.0...perty please..

[arch-general] Problems with mounting linux partition with gid
by Ralph Alvy 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

I have no problems mounting via fstab my vfat partitions with an option like 'gid=100'. However, I can't seem to get that to work with a Linux data partition. That partition is formatted ext3. I also tried 'grpid=100', to no avail. Dmsg gives me an 'Unrecognized mount option' error with these. How do I create a Linux data partition that's fully accessible to me, as user, after boot?

[arch-general] Miro broken after xulrunner update
by alec.hussey＠madsoft.org 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

Hey everyone, A few of us have been having issues with Miro being broken after a recent update. We came to the conclusion that it must of been the xulrunner update (at time of post) 3 days ago. I thought I read earlier this week about xulrunner issues on the mailing list as well. For me the problem is quite frustrating, even tried building older PKGBUILDs from SVN. Its probably best to read the thread started in the forums first. http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=50788 -Alec

Why is that directory used at all? Doesn't it make more sense to use something like '/etc/apache/' like e.g. lighttpd does? Or is there already a policy on that i overlooked? -- Bitte beachten Sie, dass dem Gesetz zur Vorratsdatenspeicherung zufolge jeder elektronische Kontakt mit mir sechs Monate lang gespeichert wird. Please note that according to the German law on data retention, information on every electronic information exchange with me is retained for a period of six months.
