Absolute values could still be assigned, which means that in the future, the relative volume may have to be realized by clients instead of mpd. -- b4283

Well, I don't know exactly how users update yours system(*), but maybe a "init q" after the pacman -Syu and merge inittab and securetty files in this case is suggested, and/or udevadm trigger to reload rules, or go to "init s" and back to previous level, or find what dev/files are deleted with "lsof -n | egrep 'DEL|dele'" and reload the aproppiate programs, remembers that not only virtual consoles are in transition, also other devices. (*) Some users can do a "hot-update" the whole KDE/GNOME while running and intend to continue working properly. ;) Thats all folks! -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi ( djgera ) http://www.djgera.com.ar KeyID: 0x1B8C330D Key fingerprint = 0CAA D5D4 CD85 4434 A219 76ED 39AB 221B 1B8C 330D

[arch-general] Help: assigning bugs for these type of tickets
by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

Hi Devs :) The intention of this mail is to clarify the correct/current assignements of task in the bugtraker that are not related with packages from repositories. I think that the category "web page" includes many types of tasks: Webpage: Latest News/RSS/Downloads/Search feed and general webpage code @ Dusty Phillips, Simo Leone, ? Forum: @ ? Wiki: @ Loui Chang, ? Flyspray: @ Roman Kyrylych, ? New mirror: @ Dusty Phillips, Aaron Griffin, (*), ? Problem with torrents: @ ? Others?: @ ? (*) I think that also to Dan McGee, but he is currently working full on pacman. Also these other cases: What about orphaned packages? My current rule is assign to the latest packager or commiter, but what about if this removes himself from the assignement? Can be a FR o BR both are important, if nobody take it, should be reported to mailing list and moved to community, so a TU can adopt it? What about packages that are reported as non-working because compiled with old libs or other issues, fails to build, and still on repos for many weeks/months. Report the FS to the mailing list for removing or move to unsupported? That's all for now. Thanks in advance. -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi ( djgera ) http://www.djgera.com.ar KeyID: 0x1B8C330D Key fingerprint = 0CAA D5D4 CD85 4434 A219 76ED 39AB 221B 1B8C 330D

[arch-general] [signoff] openvpn 2.1_rc19-1
by Thomas Bächler 23 Jul '09

23 Jul '09

Changes: - Updated to the 2.1 branch - Removed useless .install file - Moved plugins to /usr/lib/openvpn and made this the default plugin search path (i.e. plugins in that directory will be found when the plugin directive does is not an absolute path) - Moved example configuration to /usr/share/openvpn - Add openvpn rc.d script that launches an openvpn daemon for /etc/openvpn/*.conf and kills each openvpn with a pidfile in /var/run/openvpn/*.pid - Add openvpn-tapdev script that is to be added before the network script. It creates persistent tap devices as configured in /etc/conf.d/openvpn-tapdev that can be used for bridging. Tested on x86_64, please sign off.

[arch-general] Software RAID installation problems
by Samuel Baldwin 22 Jul '09

22 Jul '09

Howdy. I just installed my system on software RAID (RAID1 over two discs, twice. I'll elaborate in a minute.), and after coming off the installation I get errors when I try to boot: /dev/md0: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If they device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and is not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device> /dev/md1: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If they device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and is not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device> My drives RAID drives are set up as so: sdc1 and sdd1 are mirrored to make md0, sde1 and sdf1 are mirrored to make md1. These are mounted at /mnt/md0 and /mnt/md1, respectively, and formatted to ext4. -- Samuel 'Shardz' Baldwin - staticfree.info/~samuel
