[arch-general] unable to run emacs through VNC
by D. R. Evans 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

I have arch running on a machine that I access through vnc. I just installed and tried to run emacs on the arch machine in an xfce terminal window, but I get the following error: $ emacs logcfg.dat Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":1.0". Undefined color: "black" $ Every other program I've tried (which admittedly is not many) has worked fine. What do I need to do to resolve this issue and run emacs?

Fix FS#25002 (add net-tools dep for now), FS#23452 (fix path, add optdepend) and FS#25095 (add supplied patch). Please sign off. I also want to mention that I don't use vpnc anymore, and haven't done so for years. I don't want to keep maintaining it, so if there are takers among the devs, please step up.

[arch-general] Atheros WiFi only working after reboot from windows
by Vic Demuzere 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hi there, I have a really strange issue with my Atheros WiFi card since re-installing Arch. It doesn't manage to connect to my wireless AP, except when I first boot windows and then reboot to Arch. So it looks like Arch doesn't manage to start the card properly. Output from dmesg is the same in both cases, and the card correctly shows up in lspci. [sorcix@morpheus ~]$ dmesg | grep ath ath9k 0000:01:0b.0: PCI INT A -> Link[APC3] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18 ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x30 ath: EEPROM indicates we should expect a direct regpair map ath: Country alpha2 being used: AM ath: Regpair used: 0x30 ieee80211 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'ath9k_rate_control' Registered led device: ath9k-phy0 I tried netcfg, networkmanager and manually using wpa_supplicant. When I didn't boot windows first, the card seems to connect to the AP, and then disconnect again. wlan0: deauthenticating from xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx by local choice (reason=3) It then starts looping trying to reconnect. After first booting into windows, it simply connects and stays connected. Everything works fine then. Note that it always works fine in windows, so it isn't a hardware problem. Does anyone else have this problem, or knows how to fix it? -- vic(a)demuzere.be :: http://vic.demuzere.be :: PGP: 0x6690CF94 My software never contains bugs, it just develops random features.

[arch-general] lost+found is quite big, although I haven't lost anything?
by Karol Babioch 14 Aug '11

14 Aug '11

Hi, since the free space on my system is getting less and less, I was about to clean it up when realizing that my "lost+found" directory on this ext4 formatted partition is about 37G big. The system hasn't crashed so far, wasn't shutdown improperly (as it is attached to a UPS), so its seems quite strange to me. I immediately unmounted the partition and ran an fsck (both with and without the force parameter), but it hasn't reported anything wrong, nor cleaned up the directory. I'm now a little bit concerned as to why this happened and what to do about the directory. Can it be safely removed? Where do this 37G come from? Best regards, Karol Babioch

I haven't noticed any problems with normal, whatever that is, usage or with makepkg. At least so far. Myra -- Life's fun when your sick and psychotic!
