[arch-ports] [PPC] One Last Bug Report For the List!
by Matthew William Cox 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

The bug tracker on bugs.archlinuxppc.org is still broken (can't submit bugs.) I'll post this here. It seems that the openssh package was broken when it was built. The problem is that it contains hardcoded strings to the wrong xauth. This breaks X11 forwarding (to and from) unless a corrected address is inserted in the config files. > $ pacman -Qo /usr/bin/xauth /usr/bin/ssh /usr/sbin/sshd > /usr/bin/xauth is owned by xorg-xauth 1.0.2-1 > /usr/bin/ssh is owned by openssh 4.6p1-5 > /usr/sbin/sshd is owned by openssh 4.6p1-5 > $ strings /usr/bin/ssh | grep xauth Wrong path here: > /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth > xauthlocation > No xauth program. > %s/xauthfile > Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. > $ strings /usr/sbin/sshd | grep xauth and again here: > /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth > xauthlocation > maxauthtries > No xauth program; cannot forward with spoofing. Package needs a rebuild. Matt

[arch-ports] New in ArchPPC and some problem
by gianluca mazza 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Hi all, I'm new here. I installed Arch in my macmini (G4) using your wiki (great guide), but I'm having some problem to proceed in arch. I'm trying to install X, so I installed: Xorg (and dependencies), xf86-video-ati, xf86-input-keyboard, xf86-input-mouse. I configured X with xorgconfig (I think correctly) but when I try "startx" I've black screen, and monitor does like there is no signal (appears a popup who search for digital or analogic signal). I modified monitor vertical sync like in monitor manual but nothing, X doesn't start. It's not possible to use hwd on ppc to configure it? I think that this is a great project (and arch is a great distro), thanks for your work.

[arch-ports] Usage of arch-ports mailing list
by Alexander Baldeck 21 Jul '07

21 Jul '07

Dear readers of arch-ports, I would like to recommend to only use arch-ports for architecture specific questions. Topic involved would be: * booting & installation * architecture dependent compilation * architecture specific bugs * packages that do not exits on any other platform * package requests Anything else should go to the regular arch mailing list. It is much more likely to get your questions answered there as well. Recent examples such as printing are by no means architecture specific unless there's a bug only on that one architecture, which is in most of the cases very unlikely. Cheers, -L

[arch-ports] [arch-ppc] Broken build of gvim package
by Matthew William Cox 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

Woops, problem with the gvim build... > $ gvim foo.cpp > E25: GUI cannot be used: Not enabled at compile time Looks like the package needs a rebuild. Until then, reverting to vim-7.1.12-1 and gvim-7.1.28-1 fixes things.

Never mind. Everything is ok. Nitrogen runs fine. Once I set up my server, I will share my ppc packages: - gtk-chtheme - gtk-engine-murrine - gtk-engine-ubuntulooks - nitrogen - transmission ~Julian D On 7/18/07, Julian DeFronzo <sleepinggiant08(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > I am trying to build nitrogen for archlinux-ppc and have succesfully built > it.

[arch-ports] Gdk::PixbufError
by Julian DeFronzo 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

I am trying to build nitrogen for archlinux-ppc and have succesfully built it. But when i run it i get: 'terminat called after throwing an instance of 'Gdk::PixbufError' Is this a problem with nitrogen or glib/glib or gdk-pixbuf? Please let me know so i can share my packages with the Archlinux-ppc community. ~Julian D.
