[arch-general] usermove update
by Tom Gundersen 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

Hi guys, The recent updates of kmod, systemd and udev in testing moves /lib/{systemd,udev,modprobe.d,depmod.d} to /usr/. The old location will, for the time being, continue to work for config files (as well as udev rules and systemd unit files). However, helper programs installed to /lib/{systemd,udev} will have to be moved to /usr/lib. This has been done for all the official packages, but third-party packages will have to be updated. Cheers, Tom

01 Apr '12

Can any options be used with mkisofs to tell it if an single image will have a size larger than 1 dvd can hold, make as many additional images as necessary so that everything will fit on more than a single dvd? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jude <jdashiel-at-shellworld-dot-net> <http://www.shellworld.net/~jdashiel/nj.html>

01 Apr '12

This is NEC hardware here and I'm always issued two warnings whenever I try to burn anything. The first is that input buffer cannot be read and the second is that the dma speed test is skipped. What things can I change in order to clear these warnings? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jude <jdashiel-at-shellworld-dot-net> <http://www.shellworld.net/~jdashiel/nj.html>

[arch-general] A bug reported, no response in two weeks
by Karol Blazewicz 31 Mar '12

31 Mar '12

There's a nasty typo in libgringotts PKGBUILD http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=… : 'pckage()' should be changed to 'package()', otherwise the package creates no files: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=137648 http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/i686/libgringotts/files/ I've reported the bug on 14 March 2012 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28920 and I've got no response so far. I'm not sure what's going on, am I missing something? I can see that the change introducing this bug has been made by someone else than the current maintainer and the person the bug is assigned to http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/commit/trunk?h=package…

[arch-general] Funny issue with bash-completion and __git_ps1
by martin kalcher 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Hey hey After the last bash-completion and git update there is a funny issue with the Git Prompt [1]: __git_ps1 is not defined The bash-completion update moved most completion scripts to /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ and sources them if needed. See line 1933 in: /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion __git_ps1 is defined in: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git So if you type 'git pul<TAB>' this file gets sourced and the error disappears. I worked around this by sourcing this file manually in my .bashrc My question is, where i should report this bug. Is it a git problem or a bash-completion problem. I think its a git issue, because __git_ps1 is no complete function and should be defined somewhere else... Or shall i shut my mouth and continue sourcing it in my .bashrc?
