[arch-general] upgrade issues
by Wolfgang 17 May '10

17 May '10

Hi, I'm running Arch for quite a while on several machines. On one laptop there were no updates applied for quite a while. It was running kde4.0 and was using hda instead of sda as harddisk device. After applying all updates (download was roughly 1.8 GB) there are some issues (mainly with kde 4.4.3). All icons are missing until I switch icon-theme. After that there are still lots of icons missing, kde itself (eg. log-off), kde-apps (system-management), applications (k3b) and "unrelated" apps (opera). Also missing are the rating stars inside dolphin and gwenview (and probably others). I reinstalled all kde-meta packages wich pulled a view additional packages but didn't change anything. I tried to delete $HOME/.kde4 and also tried a newly created user. I looked at all(?) *.pacnew files. The only somehow related was kdm but couldn't find anything else. Any hints? Regards, Wolfgang

[arch-general] testing xorg packages may not be nvidia friendly
by Caleb Cushing 17 May '10

17 May '10

I tried installing testing on a box running nvidia drivers that I have at school. X didn't come up. I don't know why and didn't really investigate (as I was really testing to see if my box at home had an env issue seems it does). using nvidia-173xx-utils -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com

[arch-general] final release candidate images for testing
by Dieter Plaetinck 17 May '10

17 May '10

new images are done. version: 2010.05.13 these are the images I want to rename to an official 2010.05 release after testing. http://build.archlinux.org/isos/Changelog http://build.archlinux.org/isos/ how should they be tested? for every file, that is: archlinux-2010.05.13-core-dual.iso archlinux-2010.05.13-core-i686.iso archlinux-2010.05.13-core-x86_64.iso archlinux-2010.05.13-netinstall-dual.iso archlinux-2010.05.13-netinstall-i686.iso archlinux-2010.05.13-netinstall-x86_64.iso I want to get a report from someone that an installation went fine. what kind of install doesn't really matter. manual, automatic, autoprepare, net/core whatever. this has been tested enough before, so any kind of install with each single image. On top of that, I want: A) confirmation for virtio_pci and virtio_blk on the install ISO's initramfs http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/19401?project=6 B) at least one installation performed from a usb stick, using any of the above images. So if you test: send a reply mentioning which file you tested, and optionally if you can confirm A/B thanks for you help, Dieter

I am using KDE, is there any plugin, etc. to view & edit ID3 tags for mp3 files in the properties window. I know about easytag and kid3, but that's not what I want. -- Nilesh Govindarajan Site & Server Administrator www.itech7.com मेरा भारत महान ! मम भारत: महत्तम भवतु !

Hi, sorry for the delay! I have xfs for / and /home and everything works fine, including xfs_fsr (I always run this after an update, especially in this one because of the changes made).

[arch-general] vim runtime woes
by Jan Steffens 14 May '10

14 May '10

The vim runtime that can be retrieved via rsync is outdated. Some of the patches modify the runtime, and some of these changes (e.g. 394) are lost when the runtime is overwritten with the runtime from rsync. Not using the runtime from rsync at all also misses some updates. Any thoughts on how to solve this? One option would be to build vim from Mercurial (http://vim.googlecode.com)
