[arch-ports] [Arch64] Problem running firefox or thunderbird since system upgrade
by Strat 30 Apr '06

30 Apr '06

Hey arch64'ers I just upgraded my system and, since 10 minutes, I cannot run firefox or thunderbird. I get this strange error : The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'. (Details: serial 1102 error_code 1 request_code 152 minor_code 2) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) This looks like a problem with X. The pacman -Syu command just before that upgraded plenty Xorg related packages so I tried reinstalling them but this doesn't affect the situation. Since this is really strange to me, and I don't have much time to investigate it, any suggestions would be appreciated. here are the packages that have been updated : [04/30/06 13:39] synchronizing package lists [04/30/06 13:39] starting full system upgrade [04/30/06 13:49] upgraded readline (5.1-2.1 -> 5.1.4-1) [04/30/06 13:49] upgraded bash (3.1-2.1 -> 3.1.17-1) [04/30/06 13:49] upgraded dnsutils (9.3.1-1 -> 9.3.2-1) [04/30/06 13:49] upgraded gaim (1.5.0-3 -> 1.5.0-4) [04/30/06 13:49] upgraded libdmx (1.0.1-1 -> 1.0.2-1) [04/30/06 13:49] upgraded libfontenc (1.0.1-1 -> 1.0.2-1) [04/30/06 13:49] upgraded libice (1.0.0-1 -> 1.0.1-1) [04/30/06 13:49] upgraded libsm (1.0.0-1 -> 1.0.1-1) [04/30/06 13:49] upgraded libxaw (1.0.1-1 -> 1.0.2-1) [04/30/06 13:49] upgraded libxcursor (1.1.5.2-1 -> 1.1.6-1) [04/30/06 13:49] upgraded libxdamage (1.0.2.2-1 -> 1.0.3-1) [04/30/06 13:49] upgraded libxdmcp (1.0.0-1 -> 1.0.1-1) [04/30/06 13:49] upgraded libxext (1.0.0-1 -> 1.0.1-1) [04/30/06 13:50] upgraded libxfixes (3.0.1.2-1 -> 3.0.1.2-2) [04/30/06 13:50] upgraded libxfontcache (1.0.1-1 -> 1.0.2-1) [04/30/06 13:50] upgraded libxi (1.0.0-1 -> 1.0.1-1) [04/30/06 13:50] upgraded libxkbfile (1.0.2-1 -> 1.0.3-1) [04/30/06 13:50] upgraded libxkbui (1.0.1-1 -> 1.0.2-1) [04/30/06 13:50] upgraded libxmu (1.0.0-1 -> 1.0.1-1) [04/30/06 13:50] upgraded libxpm (3.5.4.2-1 -> 3.5.5-1) [04/30/06 13:50] upgraded libxrandr (1.1.0.2-1 -> 1.1.1-1) [04/30/06 13:50] upgraded libxrender (0.9.0.2-1 -> 0.9.1-1) [04/30/06 13:50] upgraded libxt (1.0.0-3 -> 1.0.1-1) [04/30/06 13:50] upgraded libxvmc (1.0.1-1 -> 1.0.2-1) [04/30/06 13:50] upgraded libxxf86dga (1.0.0-1 -> 1.0.1-1) [04/30/06 13:50] upgraded libxxf86misc (1.0.0-1 -> 1.0.1-1) [04/30/06 13:50] upgraded libxxf86vm (1.0.0-1 -> 1.0.1-1) [04/30/06 13:50] upgraded mysql (5.0.20-1 -> 5.0.20-2) [04/30/06 13:50] upgraded xorg-apps (1.0.0-1 -> 1.0.2-1) [04/30/06 13:50] upgraded xorg-server-utils (1.0.0-2 -> 1.0.1-1) [04/30/06 13:50] upgraded xorg-xkb-utils (1.0.1-3 -> 1.0.2-1) [04/30/06 13:50] upgraded xproto (7.0.4-2 -> 7.0.5-1) -- Strat

I just tried amarok-1.4beta3 and its not as stable as the svn build in testing, so I'm leaving the testing build as it is. I'll explicitly specify iRiver support in the next build. (iRiver support may be default, so try installing the package "ifp-line" and see if it works.) P.S- You need libgpod for iPod support. ganja_guru

[arch-ports] amarok svn in testing [Arch64]
by ganja.guru 24 Apr '06

24 Apr '06

Hi everyone, Up until now, we've had issues with older versions of amarok (even 1.3.9), but the new svn build I've uploaded to testing seems to work quite well. # pacman -S amarok-base-svn amarok-engine-xine-svn As of now, there is no arts/gst engine, and no ipod/iriver support. If people still have problems with this svn build I'll keep building new svn releases till basic issues are sorted out. Thanks, Varun "ganja_guru" Acharya

[arch-ports] [arch64] makeworld does a great job again - don't build updates!
by Andreas Radke 19 Apr '06

19 Apr '06

I've started again a makeworld run and it does the job very well. Tons of updates now I have to check. I'll have to update svn and look if each package is ok. Then I will upload all the stuff. So there's no need to build updates right now. In one or two days I think I can finish it. Then our ToDo list should be much shorter. AndyRTR

[arch-ports] Archlinux/PPC suffering
by Alexander Baldeck 08 Apr '06

08 Apr '06

Hey list, as you may have noticed, Archlinux/PPC does not get as much attention as Archlinux/64 gets. Now that Benoit quit for personal reasons, we are short on manpower to keep the work up. Nevertheless at least I will continue to work on the port but it will never be as usable as any other. This occasion brings me to the fact that I need to ask for help. We have several open positions I have in mind for give away. So the call goes out to anyone that uses Archlinux/PPC, I know at least 15 people update daily. ;) If you are interested, please go to http://archlinuxppc.org and read the topmost news. It explains two of the positions that are open at the moment. You would rather like to talk to someone? Don't hesitate and contact me via email. Best regards, Alex / kth5
