[arch-general] Remove Epiphany Browser
by Carlos Mennens 28 Apr '10

28 Apr '10

I just installed a fresh system today with Gnome 2.6.30. It automatically installed Epiphany & Epiphany Web Bookmarks too. I would like to know if I remove both of these applications, will I effect Gnome or any of it's dependancies? I wont ever use Epiphany and I don't like useless applications lingering on my system? Is there a way to purge all of it's installation existance off my new machine without messing up Gnome?

[arch-general] Nvidia Driver Installed But Not Running
by Carlos Mennens 28 Apr '10

28 Apr '10

I recently installed the nvidia driver from 'Pacman' and rebooted. I have not since updated / upgraded the kernel. I notice that when I try and open my 'nVidia X Server Config' window and it tells me: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file. I looked in /etc/X11/ directory and don't see xorg.conf file. Does anyone know how I can get my nVidia drivers working on Arch Linux? It installed fine however it's not running for some reason. -Carlos

I was able to run the existing xf86-video-nouveau from [extra] by setting IgnoreABI. I wasn't able to get the source of that snapshot to compile against the current X stack. A current snapshot built with no problem and the server loaded, though I couldn't test if it actually worked properly (I started that X server on a remote machine).

[arch-general] [signoff] kernel26 2.6.33.3-1
by Thomas Bächler 27 Apr '10

27 Apr '10

This is an upstream kernel release, including security fixes. Packages will enter testing within the next hour. We had a gcc 4.4 -> 4.5 version bump, so the external modules are still compiled with 4.4, while the kernel is compiled with 4.5. If any external modules break (usual candidates are nvidia and aufs2), we will have to rebuild them with 4.5 as well. Please test this update thoroughly and sign off. Please provide feedback about the state of our nvidia and aufs2 (or other external) builds, so we know whether we require a rebuild.

[arch-general] 2.6.33 and Thinkpad x200 => random freezes
by Lukas Grässlin 27 Apr '10

27 Apr '10

Hi there, it seems that there are some problems with 2.6.33 and my thinkpad x200. The system randomly freezes completely. That means the mouse and the keyboard aren't working and the screen is just frozen. This is no Xorg crash and I do not really know if its a kernel panic, because the num led doesn't blink. There is absolutely nothing in the logs. Not even a single hint. So I downgraded to 2.6.32 and I had no freezes since yesterday. (But I cant say 100% that its ok, but i think so). I have a guess that it has something to do with wireless lan and battery running, but this is vague. Does anybody here has similar problems?

[arch-general] Latest NVIDIA en kernel update
by Manne Merak 27 Apr '10

27 Apr '10

I see there are some discussions going on the nvidia, KDE and arch forums about the performance of KDE 4.4 and latest nvidia driver, no results yet as I can see. My current setup with 190.53 works fast and snappy (no special xorg param); but updating to anything later drops performance by a factor, so I resisted upgrading nvidia. Now with the latest kernel update I cannot keep the 190.53 driver. Anyone have a solution for performance tweaking the latest KDE and nvidia combo? (I dont want to get too out of sync with the updates). Manne
