[arch-general] About SHFS "Transport endpoint is not connected" error
by 郑文辉(Techlive Zheng) 17 Mar '12

17 Mar '12

I don't know if you guys ever encontered this problem while using sshfs. I set up a virtual machine to do some PKGBUILD makepking stuff, because some dependcies need bo be installed and I do not want messed up my host machine. So, I set up a sshfs filesystem connect from a virtualbox arch guest to my arch host. Every thing works fine, but each time I ran to following command, the sshfs just hangs up with the same error bellow. Then, I have to remount it again to get it working. command: find . -name Makefile -print | xargs sed -i "s:/usr/bin/install:/bin/install:g" error: sed: cannot remove ./maintscripts/sedP7sQnH: Transport endpoint is not connected Here is my sshfs mount command: sshfs -o sshfs_sync,no_readahead,sshfs_debug,port=64,idmap=user,reconnect,allow_other,workaround=all techlive@home:/home/abs /home/abs I have tested both following, they are all failed. sshfs -o port=64,idmap=user,reconnect,allow_other,workaround=all techlive@home:/home/abs /home/abs sshfs -o port=64,idmap=user,allow_other techlive@home:/home/abs /home/abs I have googled a lot, but none of them could help. So, What do you guys say, is there a known bug or something?

[arch-general] Firefox fonts are not anti-aliased after installing xorg-fonts-100dpi
by Ankur Sethi 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

Hi, I recently installed emacs-color-theme from AUR which, for some reason, required xorg-fonts-100dpi. After installing xorg-fonts-100dpi, some websites in Firefox no longer have antialiased fonts. For example, this is what the Mozilla Developer Center looks like on my computer: http://imagebin.org/203464 I see the same issue on Twitter, Hacker News and several blogs. Removing xorg-fonts-100dpi fixes the issue. I've checked my installed pacakges and I have all the web fonts that are recommended by the Arch Wiki. In any case, I don't think missing fonts are the issue here. The same websites that look wonky in Firefox work well on both Chrome and Opera. Secondly, the emacs-color-theme package from AUR works just fine without xorg-fonts-100dpi. I don't understand why that is listed as a dependency in the PKGBUILD. So can someone enlighten me? Why does emacs-color-theme require xorg-fonts-100dpi, and why does installing xorg-fonts-100dpi make Firefox sad? -- Ankur Sethi

[arch-general] X doesn't start for 3.0-rt, X 1.12, nv 2.1.18-5
by Ralf Mardorf 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

Perhaps the current X update has broken my install. At least in 2012-Feb-21 this kernel-rt worked with X and the nv driver. I tried to boot the kernel-rt to build a new module for VBox. # pacman -Qi linux-rt xorg-server xf86-video-nv | grep Version Version : 3.0.14_rt31-1 Today updated: Version : 1.12.0-1 Version : 2.1.18-5 This does work with X 1.12: # uname -r 3.2.9-1-ARCH # pacman -Qi nvidia | grep Version Version : 295.20-3 Anybody using current nv driver with kernel-rt 3.0 or current version 3.2.9_rt17-1 from AUR? -Ralf

Hello, After upgrading to latest packages (and rebooting) I have a problem with LXDM. After logging in the lxdm-binary takes 100% CPU all the time.

[arch-general] About sshfs multi user idmap
by 郑文辉(Techlive Zheng) 15 Mar '12

15 Mar '12

Is there a way to map multiple users via sshfs? If I am using connect to a remote host through root, and I want to other user have access to it with allow_other, then, I hope their id could be mapped, ie. local http map to remote http, local user1 map to remote user1, and so on. both of them have the same user id and group id with the remote. How can I accomplish that?

[arch-general] vbox - X won't start -> no screens -> "vboxvideo" (module requirement mismatch, 0)
by David C. Rankin 14 Mar '12

Guys, I don't know if this is the new xorg sever upgrade or what, but after updates, X will not start on my archlinux guest in vitrualbox. I have reinstalled virtualbox-archlinux-additions (4.1.8-2) and still no joy.

[arch-general] Recent bug in Kalarm?
by David Rosenstrauch 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

Seems like a recent upgrade of Kalarm (or something else in the bowels of KDE) has broken some key pieces of functionality: the abilities to edit the time of an alarm, or to delete one. Can some other KDE/kalarm user please confirm this issue? (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28891) I'd like to file an upstream bug report, but need to know it's not something specific to my configuration. Thanks, DR

Re: [arch-general] Support additional binary formats at boot
by Matthew Monaco 13 Mar '12

13 Mar '12

Does this really need to be done automatically? Up until now all of the mounting that rc.sysinit does is essential. This is definitely optional. Can't it just be a commented line in fstab in the filesystems package? ( essential except /dev/shm maybe... a fstab.d would be nice =/ )

I am a user of zathura. Recently it have been updated to 0.1.1 with girara but there are not any plugins in [community] for zathura, which makes it unable to view any files. Any suggestions? Trung
