Have you tried --enable-xcb and --disable-xlib-xcb - this should keep the Xlib version as is, but still support the xcb version. I'd be willing to test this configuration if there's some reliable way to invoke the fore mentioned crashes. I don't usually use Seamonkey or Thunderbird, and my Firefox is a tarball download from Mozilla.com -- damjan

[arch-general] digital camera not showing as mass storage device
by Matthew Monaco 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

I can get my digital camera to work with libgphoto stuff like shotwell, but for months now it simply won't show up as a mass storage device. Am I missing a kernel module or something? I loaded usb-storage. I downloaded the Ubuntu 10.10 beta live CD, plugged the camera in, and it popped up fine as a hard disk /dev/sdX... In the logs I see a load-modules.sh error. Please advise.

[arch-general] Issues with SFTP and Nautilus.
by wahjava.ml＠gmail.com 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Hi everyone, When I connect to my remote SFTP server (running FreeBSD) using GNOME Nautilus, I noticed that the in the "Permissions" dialog box, instead of user/group names, the numeric U/G IDs are being shown, whereas when I do 'sftp' from terminal, and execute 'ls -l', I can see the user/group names. Any ideas what might be wrong there ?

[arch-general] [PATCH 01/48] Bashification of initscripts
by Victor Lowther 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Despite efforts to make the initscripts POSIX, we use bash 4.0 features. Bashifying this framework should result in about a 30% speedup, assuming no IO latency and that all programs we call also take zero time. :) --- functions | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/functions b/functions index 672eed2..023de35 100644 --- a/functions +++ b/functions @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -# +#!/bin/bash # initscripts functions # -- 1.7.1

i tried to add myself into the sudo group to avoid possible future problems and found out that sudo group does not even exist. i will just ignore this and keep granting sudoer privilege by user.

[arch-general] [Packages] [dbus-core] DeveloperWiki:CoreSignoffs wiki needs update
by Martín Cigorraga 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Hi, I'm using dbus-core 1.2.24-2 from [testing] on x86_64 since yesterday [0] and it works really good. I started caring about it because it's a corner-stone of KDE SC and that's why I think this wiki entry [1] should be updated to EVERYONE since everybody using KDE needs it.
