by gt 09 May '12

09 May '12

Hey guys I am facing a strange issue. All qt applications have become black, making them impossible to use. Here's an example showing vlc and avidemux-qt https://imgur.com/a/PR5vH Anyone else facing this issue? The closest i found someone with a similar problem is: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/next-kde-4-8-2-regres… But the guy is using kde, and i am using dwm + xf86-video-intel

by Jayesh Badwaik 09 May '12

09 May '12

Hi, I am using some packages in python3.2 which create a __pycache__ folder. These folders is routinely blocking my updates and I have to remove the folders manually. Are any other among you facing the same problem? If yes, can I automatize it somehow? Thanks -- Regards Jayesh Badwaik stop html mail | always bottom-post www.asciiribbon.org | www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html

Especially if you use the Mail Fetch plugin and want to upgrade to PHP 5.4, you should download one of our snapshot packages. What do you all recommend for webmail - roundcube or something else? gene

[arch-general] net-auto-wired in systemd - ifplugd failed with exit code 3
by Oon-Ee Ng 09 May '12

% systemctl status net-auto-wired.service net-auto-wired.service - Provides automatic netcfg wired connection Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/net-auto-wired.service; enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue, 08 May 2012 21:19:30 +0800; 8s ago Process: 28629 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ifplugd -i $WIRED_INTERFACE -r /etc/ifplugd/netcfg.action -fIw -d10 (code=exited, status=3) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/net-auto-wired.service I do in fact get exit code 3 when running the ExecStart line by hand, and removing -w seems to take care of it. -w seems to wait for link detection, but it seems anything it returns (in the above case I got 3 because I'm currently on wireless and have no LAN to test it on) would cause an error? The rc.d script doesn't seem to use -w, so I'm wondering why that was inserted for the service file.

[arch-general] dos emulation programs error out
by Jude DaShiell 08 May '12

08 May '12

I just tried dosbox and it errors out on sdl since sdl can't open mouse. I have a logitech inc. iFeel mouse attached to this machine too and so far as I know it does work. The only reason I attached the mouse is since dosbox appears to require it for operation. I'll have to temporarily install dosemu and document its particular failure a little later. I'm using an amd athelon k8 computer with a gig of ram on it so that's the hardware reference. I haven't tried this on intel yet but that's next on the agenda. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jude <jdashiel-at-shellworld-dot-net> <http://www.shellworld.net/~jdashiel/nj.html>

[arch-general] Akonadi LDAP
by Paul Gideon Dann 08 May '12

08 May '12

Hi guys, I've been reading up on LDAP, in the hope of getting Kontact set up to read in addresses from my work's Exchange server. However, it seems that LDAP is missing from the "New Address Book" dialogue. It's also missing from the Akonadi configuration. I know it's supposed to be there. Do I need something extra installed?

Just tried it but found no difference whatsoever, except for the fact that the aforementioned directional buttons didn't trigger any event on my recent copy of Arch. -- Johan

[arch-general] [HEADSUP] /lib/security/* moving to /usr/lib/security/
by Tom Gundersen 07 May '12

07 May '12

Hi guys, After gnome-3.4 move out of testing I intend to rebuild all packages with files in /lib/security to move them to /usr/lib/security. I'm using this locally and everything seems fine, so I don't expect any issues. That said, third-party packages should make note of this change as pam will no longer read modules that reside in /lib/security, so such packages must also be updated. Once this is done we only have /lib/modules left to deal with. Cheers, Tom
