[arch-general] GLiv freezes when quitting with nVidia GPU
by Ricardo Catalinas Jiménez 10 Oct '11

10 Oct '11

Hi everyone, It seems that with the latest version of GLiv using a nVidia GPU when trying to quit the program with File->Quit or just hitting `q' it freezes and then starts eating all the CPU. Anybody have experienced the same issue? As far as I can tell, this problem was not present with previous versions of GLiv and/or nVidia driver. My GPU is: nVidia Corporation G73GL, Quadro FX 560 I'm on an updated Arch, so my package versions are: nvidia 280.13-1 gliv 1.9.7-1 I sent an email to the author of GLiv, but as it could be nVidia's fault (see backtrace below), it is possible that he can't help. Here it is the gdb backtrace when trying to quit GLiv: #0 0x00007f73935b1ba4 in _nv012tls () from /usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.280.13 #1 0x00007f73978f6dfd in ??

[arch-general] gnome-shell-extension-dock broke with gnome 3.2.0-1 update
by Chad Kellerman 10 Oct '11

10 Oct '11

Anyone else's gnome-shell-extension-dock break after the update? I've done some searching and it doesn't look like anyone has run into this issue. Just wondering if anyone would know how to get it back? I've removed it, installed it, enabled it, it just doesn't show, and nothing shows in the .xsession-errors file. Thanks, Chad -- A grasshopper walks into a bar and the bartender says "Hey, we have a drink named after you." And the grasshopper says "Really, You have a drink named Murray?"

[arch-general] no sound coming from speakers after update
by Madhurya Kakati 10 Oct '11

10 Oct '11

Hi, I ran pacman -Syu just now after a gap of almost 3 weeks. After the update I restarted my system and now I can't play audio. Even mpd doesn't start up. alsamixer shows Card: PulseAudio and Chip:PulseAudio. Please help me as I can't do work on my computer with listening to music. :( I have pulseaudio installed just because gdm needs it. Other than that I use alsa.

[arch-general] non-login bash
by Jorge Almeida 09 Oct '11

09 Oct '11

Please help me to understand how bash does its initialization when started as a non-login shell. The manual says it sources ~/.bashrc and that's it. The Arch Wiki says it sources /etc/bash.bashrc and then ~/.bashrc. Sure enough, it does what the Wiki says... It occurred to me to look in the Wiki, after much trouble, the kind of trouble that happens from trusting the manuals. Did I misunderstood the manual or is Arch distributing a patched version? (Somewhat contrary to the Arch way, if I understood it.) TIA Jorge Almeida

[arch-general] Pacman 4.0.0rc2
by Dan McGee 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

You don't need to be as daring this time- we've had some 246 commits since RC1. The most relevant changes is signing is about 95% functional at this point- see directions below the links. * pacman -U http://dev.archlinux.org/~dan/pacman-4.0.0rc2-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz * pacman -U http://dev.archlinux.org/~dan/pacman-4.0.0rc2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz Please report any issues you may find with this package, as it is getting very close to being an actual releasable version. These are debug builds with symbols, so getting stack traces and helpful logging should be relatively straight forward if necessary. == How to enable package signature checking == 1. Install above pacman RC package. 2. sudo pacman-key --init 3. `SigLevel = Optional` in pacman.conf is the default- for more info, see man pacman.conf, but this means signatures will be checked *if available*, and there will be no error if they are not. However, due to us not having a web of trust for Arch developer keys, you will need to add this to the [options] section: SigLevel = Optional TrustAll 4. Run -Syu or any other operation that fetches packages from sync databases. When it comes time to check package integrity, you may be prompted to import keys that are not in your keychain. If a signature is available, it will be used instead of sha256sums/md5sums. -Dan
