[arch-general] Gnote cannot run anymore, all of these happen in a sudden.
by LI Ye 01 Jan '10

01 Jan '10

Hi Listmates, Suddenly I met a problem with Gnote 0.7.0-1, it worked after the recent upgrade I think. However, it aborted unexpectly from the panel now, and run it through gnome-terminal gives this: [liye@thinkpad ~]$ gnote glibmm-ERROR **: unhandled exception (type std::exception) in signal handler: what: basic_string::substr aborting... Aborted pkill gnome-panel or re-login gnome didn't help. All other components of my desktop are updated to the latest stable versions. Any idea? Best Regards, -- LI Ye

[arch-general] Kernel 2.6.32 Broken
by Steve Holmes 01 Jan '10

01 Jan '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hey, has anyone been experiencing any problems with the newest kernel26 package from Arch? this would be 2.6.32.2. After upgrading to it, my machine starts to boot but then dies. When I downgrade to kernel26-2.6.31.6, all works fine again. I'm a totally blind guy so haven't had a chance to get anyone to look at the screen for me but one thing sure, no messages get logged to /var/log/syslog or messages. Just thought I would check to see if I'm not alone with these kernel problems. For now, I'm gonna have to downgrade my kernel once again so at least my machine will work again. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFLPARHWSjv55S0LfERA6yWAJ9dPBNCeoiyN8MMfs6GzXiuzhCD+gCgx+n4 RSalNMBb4zFAjag9b4x5arg= =Qozy -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Make sure you have kernel26-headers installed and rebuild using the guest additions from community.

[arch-general] firewire_net, 2.6.32.2-2
by Milos Negovanovic 30 Dec '09

30 Dec '09

Hi all, after last kernel update my ethernet over firewire doesn't work any more. Module, firewire_net, is correctly loaded and new interface firewire0 shows up. I can ping other hosts but I can not establish any connections (http, irc, anything). Are new firewire drivers complete? Anyone else seeing this? Box in question is x86_64.

[arch-general] What ISO will load a kernel in an AMD K62/450?
by David C. Rankin 28 Dec '09

28 Dec '09

Guys, After the recent discussion about arch working well on old hardware, I decided to dump a suse 10.3 install on an old AMD K6-2/450 and install arch on it. I downloaded the net install iso i686. I knew if it was truly i686 it wouldn't install -- and it didn't. My question is which Arch download, if any, can install on this old hardware. (currently a great little fax server, backup DNS/dhcp box and 40G of storage.) Any help (or the right link) would be appreciated. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] mysqld args
by Trav 27 Dec '09

27 Dec '09

The past few updates i've noticed that $MYSQLD_ARGS specified in /etc/conf.d/mysqld isn't being used on /etc/rc.d/mysqld start.. is this a bug or is it used somewhere else? I've searched the init script and haven't seen any mention of the args at all. I've always just fixed it myself by adding $MYSQLD_ARGS after the --datadir command.

[arch-general] [PATCH] devtools: Make sure build files are owned by nobody
by Nezmer 27 Dec '09

27 Dec '09

makechrootpkg copies files to "$uniondir/build" after chowning the directory. This means those files are not owned by nobody. This yields to failure when the files are supposed to be dynamically edited. A common use-case is when we build from git or svn and we want $pkver to be upgraded dynamically.
