The cmdline accepts printk.time= which can be set to 1/0 to appropriately disable or enable. Plus one to removing this as its really only good for debugging and making a mess of your logs. Dave

[arch-general] shadow 4.1.4.3-1: hyphen in /etc/pam.d/login
by Martin Feilhauer 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

Hi all, investigating some trouble with mounting of external usb-disks recently, I went through /etc/ and stumbled over an entry in the shadow packages default /etc/pam.d/login (last three lines): session optional pam_lastlog.so session optional pam_loginuid.so -session optional pam_ck_connector.so nox11 Removing the leading hyphen on the last line I got rid of trouble with usb-disks, but I'm not sure... was this intentional - like commented out, or is there a typo in the packages defaults? Regards, Martin

[arch-general] testing/opencv cannot open my ov511 webcam
by Tao Yang 18 Apr '11

18 Apr '11

First I'm sorry for my poor english. I'm using a ov511 webcam, and after install testing/opencv, in my program, webcam cannot be opened. >From the abs system, I found it have a bug for kernel 2.6.38, see : https://code.ros.org/trac/opencv/ticket/862 , and opencv use the wrong patch:`nov4l1.patch`, it simply disable the v4l support. After search , i found the same bug in : https://code.ros.org/trac/opencv/ticket/973 it supply a right patch. Use it, everything is ok. At last I use `makepkg --source` to make a `opencv-2.2.0-5.src.tar.gz`, it fix this bug. Download at : http://ge.tt/6D5 Because my poor english and i'm a new user in archlinux, I don't know is this bug is suitable to submit in Bug Tracker....

[arch-general] audacious2
by Jorge Almeida 18 Apr '11

18 Apr '11

Anyone knows what happened to audacious2? I checked the main page of Arch. The "recent updates" list doesn't mention it. Is there some place one should check often to avoid this kind of surprise? I still would like to play music on linux. audacious (without the 2) doesn't work. Maybe because I only have a spdif connection to the external DAC/amplifier and there is no way to tell audacious to use it? TIA Jorge Almeida

[arch-general] gnome-shell - massive cpu usage in dual screen mode
by Christoph Glaubitz 16 Apr '11

16 Apr '11

Hi, I installed gnome3 from testing today, and it works fine so far. But in dual screen mode, the gnome-shell uses between 50 and 100% cpu continuous. Just after login, without any other programs running. If I switch off one of my displays - it does not matter which one, the laptop display or the vga plugged - gnome-shell runs on 1% cpu usage again. It is also possible to switch between the displays without problems, as long as one of them is switched off. Since this is a 6(?) year old Intel 915GM chipset, it's maybe just related to too little grafical power. Is anyone able to confirm this on a more powerful machine? -- chris

[arch-general] [translation] Pacman 3.5.2 string freeze
by Dan McGee 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

This is a message to all past/present/future translators that I'd like to do the pacman 3.5.2 release around the end of this week, so if you could take a look at the translations and get them up to date that would be great: https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/archlinux-pacman/r/3-5-2/ There are only a handful of new and/or changed strings (6 to 20 depending on the language and last update), so updating should be quick for most languages. There are also a handful of languages that have not seen an update in a bit, and would appreciate your help: Catalan, Danish, Portuguese, Slovak, Swedish, Ukrainian, and Norwegian Bokmål. To the German translator, as I got no feedback after the initial comment: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23575 Thanks everyone! Please direct your questions/comments to the pacman-dev ML or include me in any replies as I no longer receive arch-general mailing list posts. -Dan
