[arch-general] Driver for this camera ?
by Nilesh Govindarajan 11 May '10

11 May '10

Hi, I have a Digilife DDV-660 camera which can take still photos, movies, voice record and mp3 play. After some research I think DDV-660 and DDV-7000 have the same driver, but neither seems to be available in kdegraphics-kamera Any ideas how to ? -- Nilesh Govindarajan Site & Server Administrator www.itech7.com मेरा भारत महान ! मम भारत: महत्तम भवतु !

[arch-general] Arch shutdown because of firefox
by Handsome Cheung 11 May '10

11 May '10

hi all, I am a newbie for ArchLinux. My computer often shuts down suddenly when I browse web site. It brings me to TTY and said "The system is going down for system halt NOW!". I found that is because of the crash of flash plugin of firefox. And my question is why the crash of firefox can cause my computer shuts down? PS. my system environment: Arch + awesome, no DE. Thanks! hc

[arch-general] PKGBUILD parser
by Andre "Osku" Schmidt 11 May '10

11 May '10

Well, my second rewrite seems also come to a dead-end, and before i rewrite this again, i was hoping someone here could give me tips on what would be the best method to parse a PKGBUILD file ? you can play with my latest fail here: http://osku.de/dump/pkgbuild.js/test-pkgbuild.html @todo parseBuild() fails if you have } in body @todo some array content in PKGBUILD mix ' and ", so this fails ATM... (and the test-pkgbuild.html somehow doesn't parse build() on every second run...) cheers .andre

[arch-general] Removing padevchooser and paman
by Jan Steffens 10 May '10

10 May '10

I would like to remove these two packages from community and move them to unsupported (AUR). Both are marked as obsolete by upstream[1] and weren't updated since 2007. padevchooser is a notification area app that allows choosing default sinks and sources, as well as starting some other PulseAudio applications. It has been obsoleted by pavucontrol, which also allows much finer control over sink and source usage. paman is a diagnostic tool that provides information similar to "pacmd list", as well as allowing control of stream volumes (provided by pavucontrol) and playing samples from the cache (pacmd play-sample). Your thoughts? 1: http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup

[arch-general] extra/hibernate-script out of date -> new version
by Guillaume ALAUX 10 May '10

10 May '10

Hi everyone, As stated by "mrbrich" in this thread [1], package extra/hibernate-script [2] is out of date (old version 1.99 ; new version should be 2.0). I made this new one [3] that installs fine but I can't test it. Could anyone using it give it a try please? Thanks Guillaume ALAUX [1] http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=95899 [2] http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/hibernate-script/ [3] http://archlinux.alaux.net/hibernate-script-2.0-2.src.tar.gz

So, I'll move these to core/extra. Hello, please just test a bit more the new kernel, I have just rebooted to the new 2.6.33.3-2 kernel and got kernel panic on Init: ..something about missing symbols, failed exec and 52 - I didn't take notes of that and don't know if it's logged somewhere (?) I'm using [testing], i686, and encrypted disk, but this probably occurred before this. I'll retest when I have time.. Anybody else experiencing this? Thanks and have a nice day Mark -- Marek Otahal :o)

[arch-general] PKGBUILD contributor, maintainer, author...
by Andre "Osku" Schmidt 09 May '10

09 May '10

Hello Arch, i'm doing (for fun) a PKGBUILD parser in javascript, and now as i was testing it with random PKGBUILD files from AUR, i noticed that there is more than one way people use to define authors... (/usr/share/PKGBUILD.proto shows only "Contributor") till now i've found: - Contributor - Maintainer - Author so i wonder what others should i parse ? or could you/we make a standard ? cheers .andre

[arch-general] Err... Why is gvim now conflicting with vim?
by David C. Rankin 09 May '10

09 May '10

Guys, I have had vim and gvim installed side by side for 6 months+, today during update, pacman wanted to remove vim because it now conflicts with gvim. So I removed gvim and updated. What is the conflict? Why a conflict now when there hasn't been one in the past? Just checking... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] audacious segfaults; can debug because of dependencies
by Frédéric Perrin 08 May '10

08 May '10

Hello list, I tried audacious for a change this morning, but it segfaulted on visualisation change[1]. From the look of the backtrace[2], and seeing that glib was updated a couple of days ago, a simple rebuild of the package should be sufficient. I would normally have submitted that to the bug tracker, but didn't as : - it requires login to a web interface; - I can't test the suggested fix as audacious' PKGBUILD has a depends on audacious-plugins, and audacious-plugins has a makedepends on audacious. 1. - Steps to reproduce : - start playing a webradio, it happened with the MP3 flux from frequence3.fr - right click on the interface, select "Visualisation / Type de visualisation", try each one in order then back to the first one, "Analyseur". 2. % gdb audacious [...snip...] (gdb) run Starting program: /usr/bin/audacious [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread 0xb718ab70 (LWP 12470)] [New Thread 0xb5f4fb70 (LWP 12471)] [New Thread 0xb492bb70 (LWP 12472)] [New Thread 0xb3fffb70 (LWP 12473)] [Thread 0xb3fffb70 (LWP 12473) exited] [New Thread 0xb3fffb70 (LWP 12474)] [Thread 0xb3fffb70 (LWP 12474) exited] [New Thread 0xb3fffb70 (LWP 12475)] [New Thread 0xb373fb70 (LWP 12476)] [New Thread 0xb2f1eb70 (LWP 12477)] [Thread 0xb2f1eb70 (LWP 12477) exited] [Thread 0xb373fb70 (LWP 12476) exited] [Thread 0xb3fffb70 (LWP 12475) exited] [New Thread 0xb3fffb70 (LWP 12478)] [New Thread 0xb373fb70 (LWP 12479)] [New Thread 0xb2f1eb70 (LWP 12480)] [Thread 0xb492bb70 (LWP 12472) exited] Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0xb618d444 in ui_vis_expose () from /usr/lib/audacious/General/skins.so (gdb) bt #0 0xb618d444 in ui_vis_expose () from /usr/lib/audacious/General/skins.so #1 0xb7c6d1f4 in _gtk_marshal_BOOLEAN__BOXED () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #2 0xb7a55b99 in g_type_class_meta_marshal () from /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #3 0xb7a57252 in g_closure_invoke () from /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #4 0xb7a66b75 in signal_emit_unlocked_R () from /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #5 0xb7a6f593 in g_signal_emit_valist () from /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #6 0xb7a6f9b6 in g_signal_emit () from /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #7 0xb7d9ec46 in gtk_widget_event_internal () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #8 0xb7c6ba41 in gtk_main_do_event () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #9 0xb7ae1d51 in _gdk_window_process_updates_recurse () from /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 #10 0xb7ae1cfd in _gdk_window_process_updates_recurse () from /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 #11 0xb7b13a04 in _gdk_windowing_window_process_updates_recurse () from /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 #12 0xb7add63c in gdk_window_process_updates_internal () from /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 #13 0xb7adf3f7 in gdk_window_process_all_updates () from /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 #14 0xb7adf47b in gdk_window_update_idle () from /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 #15 0xb7abcbc8 in gdk_threads_dispatch () from /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 #16 0xb7f3b041 in g_idle_dispatch () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #17 0xb7f3ef72 in g_main_context_dispatch () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #18 0xb7f3f750 in g_main_context_iterate () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #19 0xb7f3fdfb in g_main_loop_run () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #20 0xb7c6a439 in gtk_main () from /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 #21 0xb618323e in skins_init () from /usr/lib/audacious/General/skins.so #22 0x08056e3c in ??

[arch-general] Arch Linux release Schedule
by Keith Hinton 08 May '10

08 May '10

Hi all. I remember way back when Aaron G posted about how Arches goal would be to release every four months or so to keep up with regular kernel releases and frequent ISO images. However, I remember the last official Iso was in August of 2009. I am not saying that that is bad or anything. I am curious why there hasn't been a release since that time period? I never figured that out. I did send an email to our fine Arch Linux leader using a GMail address-and am curious if that address just isn't checked? I did send Aaron some other interesting emails of late as well. But I haven't received anything-though being a leader of a project such as Arch Linux must take up a lot of time. Take care! Regards, --Keith
