[arch-general] Cairo and XCB
by Damjan Georgievski 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Does anyone have reproducile tests that show the problems in Firefox/Thunderbird with cairo when cairo is built with --enable-xcb? I just built cairo with: --enable-xcb --enable-xlib-xcb=no This should leave the normal cairo xlib backend intact (i.e. the same as when built with --disable-xcb). So far everything is working fine for me, but even before, with Cairo 1.8 everything was working fine, so I'd like to doublecheck about those issues. -- damjan

[arch-general] kernel26-headers breaks VMWare and VirtualBox
by John Holbrook 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Hi, I'm experiencing the issue as discussed here on the forums: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=105637 This mentions a bug report at: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20972 The fix mentioned is to run kernel26-headers -2. I am currently running "core/kernel26-headers 2.6.35.6-1 [installed]" I asked how to get -2 on IRC and was told to wait until my mirror updates. I tried a closer mirror and even manually looked at some of the mirrors and none of them appear to have 2.6.35.6-2. How can I upgrade to -2 without waiting for a mirror update? Maybe I'm misunderstanding what they mean by '-2'? Thanks.

I personally never liked the OpenOffice.org moniker. Always felt like it was too long and just plain ugly.

Hi all, I haven't been using Archlinux for that long so I apologize for the questions. I have been using ProFTPD on Debian and that was running as it's own user and that was set up automatically, but I don't find any instructions on the Arch wiki to set up proftpd, only a description of it. Any help please! Many thanks! Christian
