[arch-general] Adobe Releases New 64-bit Flash Plugin For Linux
by Rafael Beraldo 20 Sep '10

You may have seen this, however it is interesting to spread the word: http://linux.slashdot.org/story/10/09/16/0340226/Adobe-Releases-New-64-bit-… <http://linux.slashdot.org/story/10/09/16/0340226/Adobe-Releases-New-64-bit-…>I hope this comes to the repositories soon…it is kind of sad, though, 'cause a great deal of people (including me) might use [multilib] just because of Flash. -- Rafael Beraldo http://devio.us/~revberaldo/

[arch-general] How to detect when a package is removed from a group in pacman
by F B 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Hi, recently bin86 was removed from base-devel group but the unique way I know to see this change is manually reading the pkg changelog in the arch site. The problem is simple, how to detect this change in pacman? For example, after a gnome upgrade, if a new package is added to gnome group I can do: pacman -S --needed gnome to install the missing package. But if a package is removed? How can I remove this package that doesn't belong to a group anymore? I hope you understand the question. Why not add metapackages (as for kde) for base, base-devel, gnome and gnome-extra that doesn't have this problem?

[arch-general] There's no need for acpid
by Lukas Grässlin 19 Sep '10

19 Sep '10

Hi there, I discussed with someone else in an IRC channel that actually I have to use acpid for laptop-mode-tools if I want to have settings changed when I plug in AC. Well, actually there is no need of acpid for this. A simply shell script can do the same: #!/bin/bash while read event; do case "$event" in ac_adapter*) /usr/sbin/laptop_mode auto > /dev/null 2>&1 ;; esac done < /proc/acpi/event So I put this script unter /usr/sbin (or something else, whatever) and start it in laptop-mode-tools initscript. Works perfectly and so I don't need acpid just for this little thing. Anyway isn't acpid a bit much for such simple things? I thought maybe somene else could find this useful, so I post this to you ;) Regards, Lukas -- Lukas Grässlin Collax GmbH . Basler Str. 115a . 79115 Freiburg .

[arch-general] kernel26-2.6.35.4-2 - Hey! No more hang on boot on module load -- cool.
by David C. Rankin 18 Sep '10

18 Sep '10

Guys, Just dropping a line to let you know that I haven't had a hang-on-boot with kernel26-2.6.35.4-2. That's great. I'll keep you posted, but it looks like the issues with the last few kernels are much better. Thanks! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

This reminds me I did change screen resolution via an autorun script on E17 some time ago (when E17's resolution control showed only the default screen resolution). I can't find the script now, but simply running "xrandr -s 1024x768" from terminal inside od E17 changes the resolution correctly. Running just "xrandr" should give you the list of supported resolution, if the desired one is not listed you have to add a modeline. When you have the correct xrandr call(s) tested, you can automate it by creating say change-resolution.sh (should go in your PATH I think): #!/bin/sh xrandr -s ... which you then set up to autorun in control center -- aplications -- aplication on start (hope I translated it correctly from my localization).

[arch-general] "$startdir/src", "$startdir/pkg" and "|| return 1" in official packages
by Lukas Fleischer 18 Sep '10

18 Sep '10

Although this isn't really significant... I was just curious :) `grep '${\?startdir}\?/src' /var/abs/*/*/PKGBUILD | wc -l` - "648" `grep '${\?startdir}\?/pkg' /var/abs/*/*/PKGBUILD | wc -l` - "1385" `fgrep '|| return 1' /var/abs/*/*/PKGBUILD | wc -l` - "9274" Isn't that something that could be fixed easily using sed(1)/awk(1)? E.g. using: `find . -name 'PKGBUILD' -exec sed -i 's/$startdir\/src/$srcdir/g; s/${startdir}\/src/${srcdir}/g; s/$startdir\/pkg/$pkgdir/g; s/${startdir}\/pkg/${pkgdir}/g' {} ';'` ... to replace all that "$startdir/[...]" stuff?
