[arch-general] New GTK update make LibreOffice 'save' document type unreadable
by David C. Rankin 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

Guys, I think the GTK update made the LibreOffice 'save' dialog 'document type' list box unreadable. Where you used to be able to read: "All Formats" "Open Document Text .odt" "Word 97 .doc", etc..., now the entire list is squished down into a 1/2 of screen space and is unreadable. Here is a screenshot: [107k] http://phoenix/dl/img/newGTK-bug.jpg This happened as a result of the updates this morning. The updates were: [2011-08-31 10:13] Running 'pacman -Syu' [2011-08-31 10:13] synchronizing package lists [2011-08-31 10:13] starting full system upgrade [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded apache (2.2.19-1 -> 2.2.20-1) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded b43-fwcutter (014-1 -> 015-1) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded nss (3.12.11-1 -> 3.12.11-3) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded evolution-data-server (3.0.2.1-2 -> 3.0.3-1) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded gtkhtml4 (4.0.1-1 -> 4.0.2-1) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded evolution (3.0.2-1 -> 3.0.3-1) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded gtk-update-icon-cache (2.24.5-3 -> 2.24.6-1) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded gtk2 (2.24.5-3 -> 2.24.6-1) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded firefox (6.0-1 -> 6.0.1-1) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded linux-firmware (20110727-1 -> 20110822-1) [2011-08-31 10:28] >>> Updating module dependencies.

[arch-general] only root can select/copy text using gpm
by Juan R. de Silva 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

I installed and configured gpm daemon. The daemon starts and the mouse works fine, including copy-and-paste. But only in a console were I log as root. When I open another tty and login there as a normal user, the mouse cursor is available. I mean, it is visible and moves as desired. But I can neither select nor copy anything, since drugging does not work. The whole point of installing gpm for me was to facilitate the use of Arch Wiki sources and instead of typing large pieces just copying and pasting them. Having this problem I would be forced to run 'links' in a root environment that does not seem very safe to me. Is there any solution for this, please?
