It is wise to subscribe to all possible arch lists. That's what I do!

Isn't [arch-announce] dead for the longest time? I remember getting 1 month worth of mails at a time. Obviously a month late.

It was broken for a while. rss2email went screwey. I ended up deleting the data file and re-adding the feed, and it suddenly worked again /shrug

This is related to recent update of KDE. You have to update system in two steps: pacman -Sy --asdeps qt pacman -Su (http://www.archlinux.org/news/483/) On Thursday 11 February 2010 18:47:43 Nilesh Govindarajan wrote:

Thanks, same here. This: pacman -Sy --asdeps qt would produce: error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: qtscriptgenerator: requires phonon Now it running fine. If it breaks my system, no big deal. I wanted to switch to Arch32 anyway..... 64bit support for proprietary software, on Linux, is disgustingly bad. -- John I have something to hide, my privacy, and I am not a terrorist. http://www.pp-international.net/

What about asking those developers of proprietary software to release x86_64 builds, too? If nobody complains, they won't never change anything. Greetings, Heiko

Why not just install the 32 bit version then? 64 bit Linux can run 32 bit programs..

No, it can't. This is only possible with multilib (lib32-*) support. So you need to install every library twice to be able to run 32 bit software. Greetings, Heiko

Having the 32 bit libraries as well is what I meant. You don't need all of the 32 bit libraries, just the ones your propriety software needs (and that generally won't take up that much disk space). What I don't understand is why propriety software for Linux isn't just always released as a monolithic binary with no depends..

Btw., I don't see any good reasons why developers of proprietary software couldn't build x86_64 packages. They should only need to compile their software a second time. Greetings, Heiko

Assuming the software is 64 bit clean. Thats a lot to assume! -- Regards Shridhar

That is what I did and I could get everything to work except microphone in. I have setup wine to play EvE plusa few other games and everything works perfect except mic in. I can not use TeamSpeak (32bit) and asking for 64 did nothing, this has been requested for years. Hopefully the new beta will make a difference. Skype will not work either and I am sure plenty of people have requested a 64bit version but what do they care. I have setup a 32 chroot to get these legecy apps to work but it did not help either. I can use my microphone with any 64bit apps that is installed but none of the 32bit apps are able to capute it but they can playback. Unfortunately the ARCH upgrade process is solid so I have not been forced to reload but I'll go back to 32bit eventually. It is not as if I really need it, my 4GB of RAM will be available under 32bit as well. -- John

I have bin32-teamspeak2 and bin32-skype (both AUR packages) installed and working now on my Athlon64... I did have a helluva time trying to get both of these working with pulseaudio installed (microphone issues) , but once I went back to alsa/dmix they worked fine.
