[arch-general] Removing unused locales?
by Nicolás Reynolds 29 Dec '10

29 Dec '10

Hi, it occurred to me today to check how much disk space /usr/share/locale was using on my system. Turned out to be 449.43M, though I only use en and es locales, which are in the code in the first case and ~13M in the second. Would it make sense to remove the extra ones? I mean, I don't think anyone will switch back and forth that many languages (220 on my system), but it would be just stupid to make extra i18n packages for everything... so, should pacman remove the unneeded languages on package installation? -- Salud!

[arch-general] 'any' architecture repository
by John W Palmieri 25 Dec '10

25 Dec '10

Hey Gang: I'm creating my own packages and respository. I have both i686 and x86_64 architectures, as well as pure python code which is 'any' architecture. In order to get the 'any' packages to load in either 'i686' or 'x86_64', I have had to create a separate [custom-any] entry in pacman.conf and corresponding directory tree in the repository. I could add the 'any' packages to each of the machine architectures, but I don't like the redundancy. So is the separate entry the way to go? Obviously, I'd like one entry: [custom] ftp://server/linux/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch instead of: [custom] ftp://server/linux/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch [custom-any] ftp://server/linux/archlinux/$repo/os/any Thanks. -John

[arch-general] Arduino 64 wiki article
by Neil Munro 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

I have made the noted changes to the wiki article. Are there any more errors the need correcting? Is there a guideline for arch wiki writing so i can check that the article matches the rest of the arch wiki? I understand it may be a niche subject, but if anyone can test the instructions that would be great. Thanks, Neil

If so, try with mysql_upgrade -p. > (and with mysql running) Thanks Andrea, it was the password. Now running all fine. I had to use this link to reset the passwd : http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html#resetting- permissions-unix --just note: the file with sql command to change pwd must be chmod a+r 'd and placed to an accessible folder if done under root and run as --user=mysql. I also had to rm some log files since size did not fit and it died with error. After this I could run mysql_upgrade -p , restart mysqld and now everything plays nice. Thanks everyone and merry Christmas :o) -- Marek Otahal :o)
