[arch-general] Arch Linux Community on Gittip
by Karol Blazewicz 22 May '13

22 May '13

http://archlinux.me/dusty/2013/05/21/arch-linux-community-on-gittip/ Does this initiative have the Uber Archers blessing? Does it need one? I recall that there were issues regarding the official Google+ page even though it was started by an Arch dev, the info was posted on the forums https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=129923 and things seemed OK.

[arch-general] Arch mailing list for subjective discussions
by Ralf Mardorf 19 May '13

19 May '13

Hallo, IMO the moderated Arch general list became a good list for technically issues and for briefly and succinctly objective discussions. This shouldn't change. First I didn't like it, but now I can see the advantages of such a list. What IMO is missing for Arch Linux is a separated mailing list for longer, subjective discussions. I'm aware that this is possible using the forums, but for my taste a mailing list is more comfortable to use. I wonder if there's an interest for such a mailing list and if somebody has got the knowledge and is willing to set up such a mailing list. The international Debian mailing list is free for longer, subjective discussions, but there anyway is a separated list, for completely off topic discussions. http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic There's no need to have a list for absolutely OT discussions for Arch Linux, as there is for Debian, but perhaps I'm not the only one who does like to get an Arch Linux mailing list for longer, subjective discussions. This comes into my mind, when I read a statement about the policy of Mint, thread: "Fully wroking GTK3(+GTK2) theme for Gnome 3.8?" E.g. desktop environments require sometimes discussions that IMO don't belong to Arch general, but there perhaps is the need to compare notes. What do you think about an additional mailing list for discussions that are OT for Arch generell? Regards, Ralf

Re: [arch-general] Sound broken, using pulse audio

I am the submitter of that kernel bug. I am having Intel sound card and the problem only happened after upgrading to 3.9 kernel. That problem is in fact initialization failure for Conexant codec. Does your sound card use Conexant codec, too? You may get everything needed for troubleshooting by looking at [1] for alsa-info.sh scripts. Run it with --no-upload. If your sound works in 3.8 kernel, run it in both 3.8 and 3.9 kernel. That is useful if you really decide to submit a bug report or just wonder whether your problem is the same as mine. Hope to get your problem solved. Note: [1]: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Help_To_Debug_Intel_HDA#Reportin…

[arch-general] Fully wroking GTK3(+GTK2) theme for Gnome 3.8?
by Magnus Therning 18 May '13

18 May '13

It seems it's a rather common problem that GTK3 themes partly break Gnome3.8 by preventing having a nice desktop background while letting the file manager draw the background: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=162204 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=161918 I've so far found only two (2!) GTK3 themes that work in this respect, the default theme Adwaita that ships with Gnome3.8 and Nokto3.8 (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=158033) I'm not particularly pleased with the aesthetics of either of them though. What's causing this behaviour in themes? (Hopefully it's easy to fix the broken themes I come across.) What other themes have you found that work properly? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus

[arch-general] Problem with libimobiledevice, ifuse, and idevices
by Joaquin Villanova 17 May '13

17 May '13

Think something is broken in gvfs-afc, ifuse and friends while working with idevices. Nautilus shows me the devices in the right panel (the favorites one), both documentiation and the device itself and always show this error when trying to mont. <code>Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)</code> I think I've done my homework on bbs, #archlinux and googling, and found the only way peopple resolved this problem was with ppas in *buntus so i want to look deeper... Also i got this from dmesg output when trying to mount manually with ifuse: <code> [ 105.595108] ifuse[500]: segfault at 2dd0 ip 00007ff49b7efc05 sp 00007ff4998e5cd8 error 4 in libimobiledevice.so.4.0.1[7ff49b7e3000+1a000] </code> But the interesting part is that <b> Shotwell can import photos from the device </b>. Surprisingly Rhytmbox cannot play music from it. In an iPad2 ( i'm going to suggest to Apple to change its name to <b> iCrap </b>) neither Shotwell or Rhythmbox can get photos/music from the device. I'm running iOS 6.3 (latest version). Also for more info here is my uname -a, also i think is important to mention that i'm using GNOME (latest version from main repos). <code> Linux arch 3.9.2-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat May 11 20:31:08 CEST 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux </code> I'm happy enough because i can retrieve at least the photos from the iPhone, but is annoying that this stopped to work.

[arch-general] about the removal of that systemd symlink...
by David Benfell 17 May '13

17 May '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I was alarmed, I think unnecessarily, when I saw the message that a symlink for systemd was removed on an upgrade. As near as I can tell, the boot sequence still relies on init, which links to the right place. Is there a better way to keep track of changes like this so I'm not surprised?

[arch-general] Sound broken, using pulse audio
by Carlos Alegria Galicia 17 May '13

17 May '13

Hi all, After the last kernel upgrade, my sound is not working after weaking up from hibernate. The device "PulseAudio" is shown in alsamixer, PulseAudio is up and running, the channels are shown in pavucontrol and even the level sound bar is showing the audio levels, but there is no sound. Everything works after shutting down - starting up again my system (not even using restart). I am using systemd to hibernate / restart my laptop. Thanks in advance, -- Carlos Alegría Galicia,
