You can still run 32-bit programs on a 64-bit system. I've got a 64-bit system and it's installed and runs fine. The missing dependency is probably ld-lsb, which you have to get from the AUR and install prior to installing google-earth. If it is complaining about a missing google-earth.install, probably you downloaded just the PKGBUILD. Download and extract the full tarball and you'll have google-earth.install.

[arch-general] root not remounted rw
by Philipp Überbacher 28 Jan '12

28 Jan '12

Hi there, on one of my laptops, the one that runs Arch since 2+ years now, root isn't remounted rw for some reason. Manually remounting ("sudo remount -r remount,rw /dev/sda3/ /") after boot works fine. There are no errors in dmesg. This problem persists since a few weeks, the system is fully updated. I couldn't figure out what the problem could be, so I hope you could help me on this one. One additional piece of information, related or not, is that apparently the mainboard battery has gone flat, the laptop thinks its 2006 after every boot until ntpd corrects the time. This happened a couple of weeks before the remount problem showed up, so I doubt it's related. Things I've tried: - filesystem check - SMART check - re-install of various packages Regards, Philipp

[arch-general] bashrc path not being enforced
by gt 27 Jan '12

27 Jan '12

Hello list Earlier I had appended my personal bin directory to /etc/profile's PATH, and it worked perfectly. Now, i am trying to add PATH to my user's .bashrc, but it doesn't come into effect. Though adding it to .bash_profile works. I am using urxvt and have set it to start as a login shell. What can be the reason? -- O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org

[arch-general] Upgrade of bluez breaks A2DP?
by Karol Babioch 27 Jan '12

27 Jan '12

Hi, I've recently upgraded bluez from version 4.96 to 4.97 and a few days later to 4.98. When trying to use my Bluetooth headset (Sennheiser MM 550) I realized that it doesn't work anymore. Using gnome-bluetooth I can in fact discover my headset and even connect to it, but it doesn't get listed in the audio section where it normally can be found. Consequently I can't redirect any sound to it. When downgrading to version 4.96 it works like expected. As I'm only using gnome-bluetooth I can't really say whether it is a problem with bluez itself, or whether gnome-bluetooth doesn't support the newer versions of bluez at this point in time. Furthermore I'm not that experienced with using hcitool and its relatives, so it may well be that I'm missing something here. It seems just to affect A2DP, because my Bluetooth mouse works still like a charm. However I wanted to make sure whether anyone has experienced something similar after the upgrades? I couldn't find any bug reports so far about this, so is there anything I could have missed? Or am I the only one using a Bluetooth headset on a regular basis ;)? Best regards, Karol Babioch

[arch-general] Question concerning curl package
by Oon-Ee Ng 27 Jan '12

27 Jan '12

I see that curl was updated in [core] (and probably through [testing] first?) to 7.24.0 With this update, my AUR package (don't jump me yet, please) rainlendar-beta-unstable, when run, gives me the following error message:- rainlendar: /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4: version `CURL_OPENSSL_3' not found (required by rainlendar) Now, I understand that binary-distributed packages such as rainlendar usually have lib version related problems, but in my (not very long) experience those show up in terms of 'library not found' because they're looking for, maybe, libcurl.so.3 or something like that. If rainlendar is actually looking for the right lib version, does that mean that curl has made changes to the API (or was it ABI) without bumping release number? Basically wondering whether to place the blame on rainlendar or curl here. P.S. - don't think its important, but the curl package has a a patch called fix-J-with-O-regression.patch which does not seem to be used.
