[arch-general] Unable to upgrade community/rekonq (PGP signature issue)
by Keshav P R 21 Dec '11

21 Dec '11

Hi all, I am unable to upgrade community/rekonq from 0.8.0-1 to 0.8.1-1 due to error: rekonq: key "22AD5874F39D989F" is unknown error: key "22AD5874F39D989F" could not be looked up remotely error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)) Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded. /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg.conf has no-greeting no-permission-warning lock-never # keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu /etc/pacman.conf has GPGDir = /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/ SigLevel = Optional TrustAll I see that many other users have successfully upgraded this package. Any idea whats wrong? Thanks in advance. Regards. Keshav

[arch-general] Question regarding the default file manager in XFCE
by Vladimir Nikšić 21 Dec '11

21 Dec '11

I'm using xfce wm. I rarely even use a file manager, I do things through the console almost all the time, but sometimes I need a file manager, makes some things easier. Thunar as a file manager is OK, but nautilus is a lot more powerful, has decent tab implementation etc, etc, doesn't really matter. I went to settings -> preferred application and selected Nautilus under File Manager. This works only to the extent that when I click on Application Menu and then file manager, Nautilus starts up. I would like it so that Nautilus starts when I click on a directory or some sort of volume (loop mount, usb stick, whatever, nfs share) on the desktop. Instead, thunar always starts, which kinda defeats the whole purpose of the preferred application setup? Am I asking something that's technically difficult or maybe there's a good reason why this can't be done? Thanks!

[arch-general] Xmonad session fails since upgrade
by Mathias Huber 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

Dear Archers, I've had a working Xmonad installation since May, I start it via GDM and "/usr/share/xsessions/xmonad.desktop" as described in Arch wiki. However, since the latest "pacman -Syu" GDM just tells me it was unable to start the Xmonad session. I've issued "xmonad --recompile" several times, which didn't help. "~/.xmonad/xmonad.errors" is brand new, but empty. my latest related updates: [2011-12-17 11:11] upgraded xmobar (0.13-2 -> 0.14-1) [2011-12-17 11:11] Reading package info from stdin ... done.

[arch-general] Extrange message regarding gnome-keyring
by Hector Martinez-Seara 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

Hi, for some time ( one week maybe) I see the following message regarding gnome-keyring. WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /tmp/keyring-3TI6ND/pkcs11: No such file or directory This meassage can be seen for example in my .xsession-errors file or when opening winecfg among others. The issue is that indeed this file do not exist. I have the /tmp/keyring-3TI6ND/dir but is empty. I guess that this means that gnonome-keyring was not somehow initialized properly. I'm using gdm+xfce. I'm fully updated. I have seen the same behavior in my 3 archlinux machines. Any ideas whats going on? or I should fill a bug. I yes where in arch or upstream?

[arch-general] Wireless-N 300 [Broadcom BCM43231] - FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper
by David C. Rankin 19 Dec '11

19 Dec '11

Guys, I hope somebody can point me in the right direction. I have a small dell I moved into our TV console to use as a media center box. I installed a wireless usb adapter 'WNA3100(v1) Wireless-N 300 [Broadcom BCM43231]' to join the box to our wireless network. The box dual-boots and works fine under xp, so after reading https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_wireless and not finding the model in the kernel driver, I decided to try ndiswrapper. I have run into an issue that I'm stuck on. Basically I get the following: 21:44 supersff:~/cnf> lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0846:9020 NetGear, Inc.

Anybody have any thoughts on this? I searched the bugs, but didn't find anything on ndiswrapper or modprobe. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] libgsf update
by Myra Nelson 19 Dec '11

19 Dec '11

What is the proper procedure for updating libgsf. Per the commit message libgnome-gsf was dropped because upstream dropped it. When trying to update the following error occurs. error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: libgsf-gnome: requires libgsf=1.14.21. I realize I can complete the update by pacman -Suf or pacman -Rdd libgsf-gnome then install the libgsf update but would think this would be handled by an install file included with the package. I would prefer not to bork my box so I thought I would ask first for a change. Thanks for your assistance. Myra -- Life's fun when your sick and psychotic!
