[arch-general] yaourt: aur-tovid-svn/./PKGBUILD: line 34: ./bootstrap: No such file or directory

I tried to install the svn version of tovid from the aur with yaourt... Something went wrong.

[arch-general] How to change gdm greeter theme?
by David C. Rankin 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

Guys, This used to be easy with gdmsetup, but in gdm 2.30 -- that's gone. I've been to the gnome sites, I've googled it, I've looked through the gdm package and I'm stumped. -- What's the trick? Do the themes for the older version of the greeter even work anymore? If so, how? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

(https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=243565) You should be able to install ruby 1.8 and create a kdebindings-ruby package. You can use the current kdebindings PKGBUILD to build *only* the ruby bindings. Thanks for the feedback. Best regards. -- andreascarpino.it Arch Linux Developer

[arch-general] Getting firefox to use the PDF I want?
by Magnus Therning 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

After installing Gimp it became the default application for PDFs, something I didn't really want. A quick change in Nautilus took care of Gnome. Still firefox insists on only offering a single choice for handling PDFs: gimp! Gnome behaves correctly, and XDG seems to be set up properly: % xdg-mime query default application/pdf /usr/share/applications/evince.desktop How do I get firefox to use the correct application? /M

[arch-general] amd x86_64 crash: fuse init .. end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0?
by David C. Rankin 26 Jul '10

26 Jul '10

Guys, Here is a possible bug regarding the fuse filesystem. The best I can determine this occurred during an rsync request from the x86_64 box to a laptop to retrieve files under /home/david. The box hardlocked. The error messages just before the restart were: Jul 26 02:48:19 archangel kernel: fuse init (API version 7.13) Jul 26 02:48:19 archangel kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 Jul 26 02:48:19 archangel kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 What stands out to me is 'fd0'. Why in the world would there be an I/O error to the floppy associated with a rsync request that had nothing to do with the floppy? The floppy on that box probably hasn't been used in over a year since the last bios upgrade and there is no floppy in the drive. This occurred with the following packages installed: kernel26 2.6.34.1-1 fuse 2.8.4-2 Has anybody seen anything similar? What is a good way to troubleshoot other than repeatedly doing rsync transfers and hoping to catch something? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Chroot 32bit under 64bit; Problems with kernel package
by Jordan Windsor 25 Jul '10

25 Jul '10

I'm following the guide available at this URL: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch64_Install_bundled_32bit_system Currently I'm stuck on this step: [root@archpc ~]# pacman --root /opt/arch32 --cachedir /opt/arch32/var/cache/pacman/pkg --config /opt/arch32/pacman.conf -S base base-devel error: failed to prepare transaction (package architecture is not valid) :: package kernel26-i915-2.6.34.1-1-x86_64 does not have a valid architecture I'm wondering how I should go about getting this chroot working. I'll be using the chroot to compile wine, I was unable to get it working with gcc-multilib. Thanks.
