[arch-general] umount usb stick via udev
by Benjamin Sambale 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Dear arch users, I managed to mount my usb stick automatically via udev rules (hal isn't running). However, if I unplug the stick while thunar is open, the umount command hangs. After that I can't even reboot. But if I close thunar before unplugging the stick umount works fine. Here is my udev rule: SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{serial}=="07A10809D5B952B9", KERNEL=="sd*", SYMLINK+="unistick%n" SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{serial}=="07A10809D5B952B9", KERNEL=="sd*", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/usr/bin/sudo -u benjamin /bin/mount /media/unistick" SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{serial}=="07A10809D5B952B9", KERNEL=="sd*", ACTION=="remove", RUN+="umount /media/unistick" And here is the corresponding line of fstab: /dev/unistick1 /media/unistick vfat rw,noauto,user,utf8,noatime 0 0 Thanks for any help, Benjamin

[arch-general] Dovecot: bug or user error?
by Norbert Zeh 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Hi archers, I've just made one of my machines an arch box, and one thing that gave me headaches no end was setting up dovecot on it. In my setup I'm using PAM authentication with a passwd userdb. So no reliance on mysql or postgreql. When installing dovecot, pacman informs me that I may want to install some mysql or postgresql libraries as *optional* dependencies if I want to use those backends. Since I don't, I didn't install these libraries at first. After some long debugging sessions, I realized that my failure to connect to my freshly setup dovecot server was because dovecot-auth failed. It was looking for the mysql and postgreql shared libraries that were not installed. After installing these libraries, all was fine. So now I'm wondering whether there may be something wrong with my setup that forces dovecot to at least try the mysql/postgresql backends, which it would need those libraries for. The other option is that I did everything right, and dovecot-auth is simply linked against those libraries and cannot run without them, no matter what the configuration file says. In the former case, I'd appreciate some enlightenment as to what I should be looking for in my configuration to remove dovecot's dependency on these libraries. In the latter case, I'd say a bug report is in order because if dovecot-auth relies on these libraries, they should be pulled in as dependencies instead of being declared optional.

[arch-general] AWN applets crashing
by Scott Olsen 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Hello, For the past week or so, most of my awn applets have been failing to load (with the exception of the cairo menu, task manager, clock, and notification area). The modules that is is failing to load (pygtk, awn, etc.) are present in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages. However /usr/lib/python3.1/site-packages is empty (aside from README). My guess is that awn is running using python3, since /usr/bin/python is symlinked to python3. Is there a way I can confirm this? If this is the case, how would I go about fixing it? Relative packages installed: python 3.1.2-2 (python testing) python 2.7-2 (python2 testing) avant-window-navigator 0.4.0-8 (community-testing) awn-extras-applets 0.4.0-6 (community-testing) Here is the stdout: --- scott@ahab% avant-window-navigator Screen is composited ** (avant-window-navigator:20514): DEBUG: Updating dialog colours ** (avant-window-navigator:20514): DEBUG: Spawned awn-applet[20516] for "cairo-menu.desktop", UID: 1279819072, XID: 35651638 ** (avant-window-navigator:20514): DEBUG: Spawned awn-applet[20518] for "stacks.desktop", UID: 1281624089, XID: 35651639 ** (avant-window-navigator:20514): DEBUG: Spawned awn-applet[20519] for "taskmanager.desktop", UID: 3, XID: 35651640 ** (avant-window-navigator:20514): DEBUG: Spawned awn-applet[20520] for "notification-area.desktop", UID: 1279819179, XID: 35651641 ** (avant-window-navigator:20514): DEBUG: Spawned awn-applet[20521] for "battery.desktop", UID: 1279818918, XID: 35651642 ** (avant-window-navigator:20514): DEBUG: Spawned awn-applet[20522] for "bandwidth-monitor.desktop", UID: 1279827763, XID: 35651643 ** (avant-window-navigator:20514): DEBUG: Spawned awn-applet[20523] for "weather.desktop", UID: 1279819372, XID: 35651644 ** (avant-window-navigator:20514): DEBUG: Spawned awn-applet[20524] for "digital-clock.desktop", UID: 1279822483, XID: 35651645 ** (avant-window-navigator:20514): DEBUG: Spawned awn-applet[20525] for "slickswitcher.desktop", UID: 1279910614, XID: 35651646 ** (avant-window-navigator:20514): DEBUG: Spawned awn-applet[20526] for "cpufreq.desktop", UID: 1283547769, XID: 35651647 ** (avant-window-navigator:20514): DEBUG: Spawned awn-applet[20527] for "thinkhdaps.desktop", UID: 1283549629, XID: 35651648 File "/usr/share/avant-window-navigator/applets/stacks/stacks_applet.py", line 314 self.emit("stacks-item-created", self.backend.get_store(), iter) ^ TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation File "/usr/share/avant-window-navigator/applets/battery/battery.py", line 373 except dbus.DBusException, e: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax File "/usr/share/avant-window-navigator/applets/bandwidth-monitor/awn-bwm.py", line 666 step = 1L ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax File "/usr/share/avant-window-navigator/applets/weather/weather.py", line 187 except IOError, e: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/avant-window-navigator/applets/slickswitcher/slickswitcher.py", line 21, in <module> import awn, sys ImportError: No module named awn ** (awn-applet:20519): CRITICAL **: File not found: '/usr/share/applications/amdcccle.desktop' ** (awn-applet:20519): DEBUG: task_manager_refresh_launcher_paths: Bad desktop file '/usr/share/applications/amdcccle.desktop' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/avant-window-navigator/applets/cpufreq/cpufreq.py", line 21, in <module> import pygtk ImportError: No module named pygtk Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/avant-window-navigator/applets/thinkhdaps/thinkhdaps.py", line 20, in <module> import pygtk ImportError: No module named pygtk ** (awn-applet:20519): CRITICAL **: File not found: '/usr/share/applications/amdcccle.desktop' ** (awn-applet:20519): DEBUG: task_manager_refresh_launcher_paths: Bad desktop file '/usr/share/applications/amdcccle.desktop' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named gconf ** (avant-window-navigator:20514): DEBUG: Spawned awn-applet[20565] for "thinkhdaps.desktop", UID: 1283549629, XID: 35651648 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/avant-window-navigator/applets/thinkhdaps/thinkhdaps.py", line 20, in <module> import pygtk ImportError: No module named pygtk --- -- Scott Olsen

[arch-general] update to kde 4.5.2 - no sound - tries to remove my devices??
by David C. Rankin 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Guys, I updated to 4.5.2 today and on start, kde4 asked to remove all my sound devices. So I chose - 'manage devices'. All of my sound devices are grayed out and the 'default' doesn't work. (screenshot of devices dialog here): [81k] http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/Archlinux/bugs/kde4-nosound.png The sound is "HDA Nvidia (ALC888 Analog)" and the same for digital and HDMI. I looked through dmesg to see if there was anything glaring, but there wasn't. (dmesg output here): [44k] http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/Archlinux/bugs/dmesg-20101006.txt Has anyone else seen this with the new kde4? If so any ideas how best to troubleshoot? Thanks for any help you can provide. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Rope as a anjuta dependency
by Tomás Acauan Schertel 06 Oct '10

Now that Anjuta IDE supports python, and to have full integration with python, rope [1] is needed, isn't a good idea bring rope do extra repo instead of having it in AUR? Thanks.

Hey Stefano, What instructions did you follow? I'm interested on testing this (HD 4850 here). Cheers, Adam ------Original Message------ From: Stefano Avallone Sender: arch-general-bounces(a)archlinux.org To: General Discusson about Arch Linux ReplyTo: stavallo(a)unina.it ReplyTo: General Discussion about Arch Linux Subject: [arch-general] some notes on the radeon gallium driver Sent: Oct 6, 2010 2:24 AM Hi, just if anyone is interested... I compiled mesa 7.9 and tried the radeon gallium driver on a X300 ati card. It works pretty good. For instance, now I can use the blur effect of kwin 4.5, while I couldn't with classic mesa 7.9 driver. I don't play games, so I cannot tell what is different with games... Maybe we might have an ati-dri package in [testing] that ships r300g instead of r300c... Stefano

[arch-general] UbuntuOne
by Samir 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

I've noticed that there are some UbuntuOne related packages in aur, but many of them are very out of date. In theory, I'm told that we should be able to get UbuntuOne working under any Linux distro..I was wondering if there was any reason for the current state of the aur packages. Is there a technicaly issue that prevents us from having more updated packages? -- Samir
