[arch-general] Weird behaviour A/C vs battery
by Manolo Martínez 13 Aug '11

13 Aug '11

Hello everyone, I would like to ask you for help with a weird piece of behaviour of my arch box (now 3.0, but it was the same with older kernels): * Shutdown works OK when on A/C, but, when on battery, the computer ends up with fans on and the On button light on. In this state it is totally unresponsive -- it looks much as it does when it fails to suspend. * But, on battery (and A/C too), it reboots perfectly well. So I've resorted to rebooting when I want to shutdown on battery, and then plugging it off once it gets to the bios screen. I'm sure these will be tell-tale symptoms to more enlightened arch users. For my part, I am totally clueless. I would have suspected an acpid problem, but I have no shutdown event or action enabled. I don't see anything interesting in the logs either. Any piece of advise will be very welcome. Cheers, Manolo

[arch-general] Writing my mother tongue in LibreOffice.
by Madhurya Kakati 12 Aug '11

Hi, I was quite surprised to see a language pack for LibreOffice for my mother tongue in the extra repo(libreoffice-as). I was wondering as to how to write it? Do I need to buy a special keyboard or will this qwerty keyboard work? Thanks

I got some rather amusing results on my work machine with this release, please see FS #25527 :) I also observed that pacman failed to remove the lock file when killed by ^C, I'll file a bug-report on this if I manage to reproduce it.

by David C. Rankin 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

Guys, Just dropping a note about using Arch to print to virtually any printer from your iphone/ipad. All you need is cups and avahi-daemon and a printer definition in /etc/avahi/services and it works flawlessly. Howto and example avahi printer.service file at: http://hartlessbydesign.com/blog/view/197-airprint-with-ubuntu-1010 -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
