[arch-general] perl 5.12.1-3? not 5.12.2-1?
by Caleb Cushing 03 Nov '10

03 Nov '10

I'm just a bit curious on this, why release a -3 when upstream released a new ABI compatible (as far as I know) release over a month ago, that isn't yet in repo. -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.com

If that one can work with the X-part of your system - then some rights in your local $HOME directory are broken (.xinitrc would be a candidate for this kind of weird behaviour, but also .ICEauthority or .Xauthority). If of cause the new user account does have the same problems, your /etx/X11 or worse might have wrong user rights. Have also a look i a file called .xerrors, .xsession-errors - or something like that (can't remember the correct name anymore), there could be some hints in it, if it does exist, what your problem is.

Now when I run `pacman -Qu --dbpath /var/lib/pacman` I have one update as 'db 5.1.19-2' (which is currently installed from testing). However, when I run `pacman -Su`, it wants to install 'db 4.8.26-2'. When updating to the testing version, there's a message: 'Consider running db-upgrade on Berkeley DB databases.' I'm not at all familiar with the db package, so I'm not too sure what to do with this, if this is what's causing the problem. Seemed kind of strange anyway, and worth mentioning. -- Jason

[arch-general] Postgresql-docs is Broken
by Steve Holmes 30 Oct '10

30 Oct '10

I just downloaded the latest 9.01 version of postgresql-docs which supposedly should contain the html documentation for postgresql. Alas, the package size is less than 1 K and when installed, a pacman -Qql only reveals some man directories under /usr/share. There are no files present. Is anyone aware of this situation?

[arch-general] New nvidia driver - video mode not recognized - remove vga= from kernel line?
by David C. Rankin 30 Oct '10

30 Oct '10

Guys, To add to the nvidia issues, after update to the latest driver (nvidia 260.19.12-1) the machine stops during boot due to (Invalid video mode, press enter to see list....) Pressing enter then lists the available modes. However, when I enter one of the listed modes, it is rejected and I get prompted again with the (Invalid video mode, press enter to see list....). I don't know whether this is a bug, a KMS thing, or what, but I have never had any problems passing vga=0x31a on the kernel line with the nvidia driver before. (I know with ATI, KMS early is recommended, and no vga= on the kernel line) Is anybody else seeing this? Should I just remove the vga= line? After letting the (Invalid video mode, press enter to see list....) prompt time-out, it all continues fine and the nvidia driver loads without issue. What say the experts? -- David C.
