I was just wondering how the 2.6.17 kernel progress was going. I'm very excited to finally have Airport Extreme support right in the kernel.

[arch-ports] [x86_64] prefer ftp-install to avoid glibc upgrade issues
by Andreas Radke 07 Jul '06

07 Jul '06

FTP install is now possible from all mirrors again and should be the prefered way to install a fresh Arch64 from now on to not go in trouble with the glibc update. Also our current repo is fresh as the 32bit one again :) http://home.arcor.de/a.radke/arch64/list/pkg_diff.html Updating extra packages and a new ISO will be the next steps. AndyRTR

[arch-ports] New packages and /lib, upgrade system failed
by Robert Stefaniuk 06 Jul '06

06 Jul '06

I installed arch64 from bootable iso and then upgraded whole system with packages from archlinux.org. During update kernel it started complaining: "cannod load shared object - no such file" about libraries: libblkid.so.1 and libreadline.so.5 Then later on the system freezed. I rebooted, and I couldn't boot with arch kernel ( pacman didn't make proper image yet ), my own kernel too ( after initrd removal: kernel panic - not sync - cannot find init - try "init=" parametrer ) and of course my own kernel started be I see that libraries are divided between /lib and /lib64 dirs and /lib64 contains missing two: libblkid.so.1 and libreadline.so.5 So maybe you have suggestions what to do now or before ;) Best regards, thanks to the devs Robert

[arch-ports] arch64 bootable iso - hotplug needed
by Robert Stefaniuk 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

Hi! Arch64 bootable iso doesn't have hotplug, and I can't get my network connection working. I connect by Sagem 800 ASDL modem ( kernel module ueagle-atm ) and I am not able to upload firmware. And I can't download this package without net :D There can be other packages required for some people to get network working and maybe you could consider including them For example in my country, Poland, a lot of people use this modem, because main telephony company provides connection based on it. Best regards, Robert ( Casper ) Stefaniuk

[arch-ports] [archppc] quickinst troubles
by James Turner 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

Hey, I'm trying to do a fresh install of archlinux on my powerbook, but can't get past quickinst. It starts out running just fine, then it just stalls while downloading the files. It happens at different times in the install, but I can't seem to get all the packages down before it does. I'm using ftp.archlinuxppc.org. Is there another mirror that might be more reliable? Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------ James Turner <james(a)calminferno.net> http://calminferno.net

[arch-ports] Wrong include-path for perl
by Pierre Schmitz 28 Jun '06

28 Jun '06

Hi, when I try to run the pw2userdb-script from courier I got the following error: Can't locate Getopt/Long.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/sbin/pw2userdb line 10. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/pw2userdb line 10. But the paths in @INC do not exist but the need files are in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/ and /usr/lib/perl5/current/ This is a fresh arch-install. Where can I change those paths? Is it a bug or my fault? Pierre
