[arch-general] New GTK update make LibreOffice 'save' document type unreadable
by David C. Rankin 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

Guys, I think the GTK update made the LibreOffice 'save' dialog 'document type' list box unreadable. Where you used to be able to read: "All Formats" "Open Document Text .odt" "Word 97 .doc", etc..., now the entire list is squished down into a 1/2 of screen space and is unreadable. Here is a screenshot: [107k] http://phoenix/dl/img/newGTK-bug.jpg This happened as a result of the updates this morning. The updates were: [2011-08-31 10:13] Running 'pacman -Syu' [2011-08-31 10:13] synchronizing package lists [2011-08-31 10:13] starting full system upgrade [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded apache (2.2.19-1 -> 2.2.20-1) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded b43-fwcutter (014-1 -> 015-1) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded nss (3.12.11-1 -> 3.12.11-3) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded evolution-data-server (3.0.2.1-2 -> 3.0.3-1) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded gtkhtml4 (4.0.1-1 -> 4.0.2-1) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded evolution (3.0.2-1 -> 3.0.3-1) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded gtk-update-icon-cache (2.24.5-3 -> 2.24.6-1) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded gtk2 (2.24.5-3 -> 2.24.6-1) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded firefox (6.0-1 -> 6.0.1-1) [2011-08-31 10:27] upgraded linux-firmware (20110727-1 -> 20110822-1) [2011-08-31 10:28] >>> Updating module dependencies.

[arch-general] only root can select/copy text using gpm
by Juan R. de Silva 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

I installed and configured gpm daemon. The daemon starts and the mouse works fine, including copy-and-paste. But only in a console were I log as root. When I open another tty and login there as a normal user, the mouse cursor is available. I mean, it is visible and moves as desired. But I can neither select nor copy anything, since drugging does not work. The whole point of installing gpm for me was to facilitate the use of Arch Wiki sources and instead of typing large pieces just copying and pasting them. Having this problem I would be forced to run 'links' in a root environment that does not seem very safe to me. Is there any solution for this, please?

Hi, some month ago I decided to become the new ettercap upstream maintainer. I released a fixed 0.7.4 version - https://github.com/drizztbsd/ettercap/tarball/NG-0.7.4 - that is included in debian testing and sid. Should I flag the ettercap package as old? -- Timothy M.

[arch-general] btrfs & Arch
by Gour-Gadadhara Dasa 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

Hello! After package manager which can server both official repos & AUR,there is another thing which I consider before returning back to Arch - filesystem. On FreeBSD I now use zfs running on two 1TB disks in mirror (raid-1) mode. I'd like to have similar setup on Arch, but without using lvm2+raid-1 (if possible), so I did research a bit about zfs on Linux and it looks that the 'real' name for it is Btrfs. Afaics, btrfs will soon get fsck tool for repairing the fs, but I wonder what's the plan for btrfs support in Arch, iow, when it can become 'official' ?

[arch-general] Pacman and package signing
by Myra Nelson 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

I'm going to plead ignorance hear and have not been able to find the solution. I've done a google search, read the man pages, read the help documentation for gpg, and I still have a problem. If I sign the package with makepkg or manually with gpg --detach-sign, it creates a it creates a detached signature, .sig file. I have my key using pacman-key. When I attempt to install the package I get an error message "invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)". If I manually sign the package with gpg --sign, every thing is fine. I quite sure this is something I've done wrong but I don't seem to be able (nice way of putting it) to be able to find this solution. WTF am I doing wrong.
