[arch-general] Netcfg after resume from suspend
by Ng Oon-Ee 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

Hi all, I'm using netcfg and recently have been noticing the following. When I resume from suspend I call 'netcfg home' which tries to connect to my home's wifi network. ESSID and WEP key are correctly set. It exist with a 'could not obtain IP address error, this is the dmesg:- Registered led device: iwl-phy0::radio Registered led device: iwl-phy0::assoc Registered led device: iwl-phy0::RX Registered led device: iwl-phy0::TX ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:14:7c:be:39:ac (try 1) wlan0: direct probe responded wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:14:7c:be:39:ac (try 1) wlan0: authenticated wlan0: associate with AP 00:14:7c:be:39:ac (try 1) wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:14:7c:be:39:ac (capab=0x471 status=0 aid=1) wlan0: associated ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready wlan0: no IPv6 routers present wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:14:7c:be:39:ac by local choice (reason=3) The weird thing is that when I run 'iwconfig wlan0 essid MYESSID key MYKEY', then run 'netcfg home' again it works no problem. Suggestions for what I can check out are welcome. This happens both on stock kernel and my custom -ice kernel, am up-to-date (without testing for now, due to my openoffice variant not being done yet).

[arch-general] kernel-lts ....
by William A. Mahaffey III 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

.... I am new to the list, used Linux since Caldera 2.2. I noticed references to a kernel-lts, labelled as 'long-time-support' on the Arch website. I did a bit of googling & noticed references to such from Arch & Ubuntu forums. I found no references at kernel.org, although I noticed that they listed an upgrade to kernel 2.6.27.45, same number as the '-lts' kernel in Arch. Is the 'lts' kernel project Arch/Ubuntu-specific, or (semi-?) supported from kernel.org ? Also, I noticed that the bleeding edge kernels (seem to) include firmware packages, but I didn't see them for the lts kernels, did I just miss them or are they absent from the 'lts' series of kernels ?

[arch-general] dynex USB microphone extremely quiet
by Samuel Baldwin 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

The topic says it all. I've got a new microphone, and whereas it works, it's rather quiet when I try to record it wtih audacity. Most people on skype complain that my voice is rather quiet as well, and I have to basically put the mic in my mouth for them to hear to hear me properly. Nothing's showed up on dmesg since I've plugged it in, strangely, but it shows up as a selection in audacity and skype (AK5370 :USB Audio (hw:1,0)). I've got mic boost, capture volume, capture 1, and digital turned all the way up, and those seem to be the only relevant options in alsamixer. I'm a bit confused, any input? -- Samuel Baldwin - logik.li

[arch-general] kernel26-2.6.32.6-1 updates breaks Compiz?
by David C. Rankin 30 Jan '10

30 Jan '10

Guys, After updates today on my x86_64 box from testing, including kernel26-2.6.32.6-1, Compiz is broken. It attempts to start, but then all windows are left without any decorations and keyboard input is disabled on kde4. The first time I tried, the plasma panel died leaving me with no way to get kwin back other than finding a black spot on the desktop and logging out. Next attempt, plasma panel stayed with me and changing back and forth from kwin to compiz and back is easily done with fusion-icon. (I put a shortcut on my desktop to 'kwin --replace &' just in case) Dunno what is happening here. All was OK before updates today. pacman.log is at: www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/pacman.log Looks like it is another jpg/png library issue: 20:35 alchemy:~> fusion-icon * Detected Session: kde * Searching for installed applications... * No GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap with direct rendering context ... present with indirect rendering, exporting: LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 * Using the GTK Interface * KWin is already running * Setting window manager to Compiz ... executing: compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints --indirect-rendering ccp --indirect-rendering WARNING: Application calling GLX 1.3 function "glXCreatePixmap" when GLX 1.3 is not supported!

[arch-general] One more tiny patch that should bring a massive performance boost :D
by Evangelos Foutras 30 Jan '10

30 Jan '10

Hello, During the recent libpng/libjpeg rebuilds, one thing that I noticed is that (big) Todo lists are really slow to load. Turns out that the current code is doing tons of simple queries (4 per package) which, although are quick to execute on the database server, take a considerable ammount of time to make. Thankfully, Django provides a mechanism to fetch all needed data in one go, which proved to be much faster during my testing. :) (If I should be sending these to a developer instead of this mailing list, please let me know.)

Re: [arch-general] An old, tiresome discussion: cdrtools vs cdrkit
by Uli Armbruster 30 Jan '10

30 Jan '10

Just some words from my point of view: Like some of you guys - most of you I guess.. - I don't really like Jörg's way to articulate. He has his arguments, which are really good ones, but it always becomes a discussion like this. I saw this in the german Ubuntu forums, before I switched to Archlinux. But he really makes me feel like he loves his software and wants to maintain it as active as possible, so it always stays free of known bugs and is as well written as he is able to. I'm no real coder, so I cannot confirm that, but I trust him in this point. Maybe we deal here with a guy, who isn't really good in expressing himself in writing. I have this problem as well, I'm a much better talker than writer, when I write stuff, people often misunderstand me. Maybe it's the same with Jörg (although his english is VERY good!). But is this really an argument wether to use someone's software or not? I mean, for example, many people think RMS is a real idiot, but still they use his utils, because they are good software. There could be thousands of other examples. Are the devs of Firefox nice guys? Who gives a shit about that? Nobody, right, because nobody needs to talk to them about such issues Jörg always has to discuss about. What I want to say is, don't focus on Jörg's writing style or the way he articulates, focus on the software and the license issues. And Jörg, PLEASE do yourself a favor and stay on topic, the people here want to be sure if it's legal to use your software, so provide every information you are able to provide and don't always just write stuff like "I have a personal email of ..." (too lazy right now to find your exact quote, this thread is very long already ;-) ) You want Arch to use cdrtools in its official repos? So do what has to be done. If Allan, a VERY important Arch Dev, wants something specific, you should provide everything you can. It doesn't help you at all to play a little crybaby with this whole "They stole my software" (again, no real quote) etc. I'd love to see cdrtools in Arch, simply because it's really superior to cdrkit. If it's illegal to provide it in the repos, we still have the AUR, but the repos are official, the AUR is not, so if it's possible, having it in the repos would be preferable. Hope to see this discussion come to a good end for both sides ... Yes I'm a dreamer ;-) Greetz Army
