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

[arch-general] Best Practices...
by Samir 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

I have a question about Best Practices or... a clean way of handeling these types of scenarios... I've seen this come up with several packages.... If I install mplayer and x264 from pacman, but then pull x264-git from aur, and install that. x264 conflicts with x264-git which makes sense.. but then mplayer suddenly is broken because libx264.so.104. Basically mplayer isn't aware that x264-git (which naturally conflicts with the x264 package). Now, to be fair.. mplayer probably should have been linked against libx264.so rather then libx264.so.104 (-git package provides a libx264.so.105). When I was on a purely from source distro, I'd just force a rebuild of mplayer and its dependencies...and that would fixed the issue. from a user perspective: what's the solution to these types of situations. (creating a symlink to the .so file doesn't count). from a packager perspective: Should we do anything in particular to take these sorts of situations into account and try to avoid some of these problems. is instructing the user to pull the abs source the solution? -- csgeek

[arch-general] bug in ghostscript 8.71 causes hylafax to send blank pages
by David C. Rankin 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

Guys, Anyone using hylafax should be aware that a bug in ghostscript 8.71 will case hylafax to send blank pages. The following is the response from the upstream folks. I'll look for a newer version, test and report back. <quote Aidan Van Dyk - hylafax dev> David, you using ghostscript 8.71 on that server? That's a known bug, fixed in recent releases. Ghostscript 8.71 changed the default "strip" size of MMR tiff, which affects what hylafax expects... faxsend needs a "single" strip of image data to send, and with a small strip size, gs makes multi-strip images, which come out as blank pages. Workarounds (any will work): - edit $SPOOL/bin/{ps,pdf}2fax.gs, add -dMaxStripSize=0 to the GS call, to make gs produce single-strip images - edit $SPOOL/etc/config set Use2D:No to make faxq not prepare MMR images Or, upgrade ;-) </quote> -- David C.
