[arch-general] TeXLive problems
by Piyush P Kurur 02 Oct '09

02 Oct '09

I am having problems with the texlive package. I tried to install the package texlive-most and here is the error that pacman throws /usr/share/texmf-dist/bibtex/bib/amsrefs/amsj.bib exists in both 'texlive-core' and 'texlive-bibtexextra' /usr/share/texmf-dist/bibtex/bst/amsrefs/amsra.bst exists in both 'texlive-core' and 'texlive-bibtexextra' [many similar lines] Looks like ams packages have got into bot texlive-core and texlive-latexextra. File a bug report ? Regards ppk

[arch-general] kde4 themes and trick your kids (and maybe you) will enjoy
by David C. Rankin 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

Guys, Just a note. Most of you are probably a bit younger than I am, but for those with kids who have reached computing age (3+), there are a few kde4 themes and tricks they may really enjoy. The kde4 themes are: Ghost Carbon Neon Glow by FRUiT A thin theme for the adults is "seamless" (just grab the clock from 'Stripeshine' and it really looks cool - see links below) The Desktop Effects that my kids enjoy are: Explosion (or Fall Apart) Magic Lamp explosion and fall apart make the windows shatter into pieces when they are closed and magic lamp makes the windows look like they are being sucked into a magic lamp when they are minimized. A few links that I found helpful for tweaking themes: http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma/Theme http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Plasma/Theme That's my informational post for the day :p -- David C.

[arch-general] Thunderbird
by Ondřej Kučera 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

Hello, I've been meaning to ask. What's going on with the thunderbird package? Version 2.0.0.23 was released more than month ago, it isn't usual with Arch for such a package to be left outdated for so long (especially since it is a security update). I know I can use ABS and rebuild it myself and I have, but still. Is there a particular reason for the delay? Shouldn't a bug report be created (when package remains out of date for this long)? Ondřej -- Cheers, Ondřej Kučera

[arch-general] Pacman problem. "error writing to file" "bad address"
by Nigel Henry 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

I had problems with ocaml yesterday. After the machine locked up during the updates, I did a hard reset, and ran pacman -Su again. It continued downloading ocaml, but when all the updates were downloaded, it failed to install them, claiming that ocaml was corrupted. I removed the corrupted ocaml as requested, and as I'm on dialup and didn't want to download 38MB of ocaml again last night, I temporarily added an IgnorePkg line for it. Ran pacman -Su again, and all the updates apart from ocaml, and also gnupg2, which couldn't be found, were installed. Today I went to install the ocaml update, having removed it from the IgnorePkg line. It starts to download, but then throws an error as below. error: error writing to file '/var/cache/pacman/pkg/ocaml....' :Bad address Harddrive partition is redlining, and the partly downloaded ocaml file shows as 2GB size. Any ideas on a fix for this problem? As an aside, pacman was updated, but not before the other updates, in case that is what has caused the problem. Nigel.

[arch-general] Grub menu.lst for USB drive
by Baho Utot 30 Sep '09

I have a base install that I have placed on a USB thumb drive. I need to get grub to boot it by uuid or label so I can boot it from any PC I can get it to boot using a kernel line like this: # (0) Arch Linux title Arch Linux (x86_64) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sdd1 rootdelay=15 ro initrd /kernel26.img This don't work # (0) Arch Linux title Arch Linux (x86_64) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz26 root=UUID=6342a6b5-25cf-4d01-a318-68309d12ab5b rootdelay=15 ro initrd /kernel26.img This don't work # (0) Arch Linux title Arch Linux (x86_64) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/6342a6b5-25cf-4d01-a318-68309d12ab5b rootdelay=15 ro initrd /kernel26.img Any one know how to get this to work?

[arch-general] Opera and Java on x86_64
by Ondřej Kučera 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Hello, I've been trying to figure out why Java applets wouldn't work on my system in Opera. (I'm using jre/jdk from [community], not openjdk6 from [extra].) From what I've found out: you set up a "Java directory" in Opera preferences (this path is then written to .opera/javapath.txt) and Opera looks for libjava.so there. At the same time Opera also looks for libjvm.so there (or it is the first place where Opera looks, more on that bellow). The problem is that jre package contains libjava.so in /opt/java/jre/lib/amd64/, while libjvm.so is in "server" subdirectory (/opt/java/jre/lib/amd64/server). That causes Opera not to find it and disable Java completely. I ran strace and these are relevant lines to show where Opera tries to find libjvm.so: open("/opt/java/jre/lib/amd64/libjvm.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/opera/10.00/libjvm.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/opt/java/jre/lib/amd64/libjvm.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/opt/java/jre/lib/amd64//native_threads/libjvm.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 107 open("/lib/libjvm.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/libjvm.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) This lead me to an idea of creating symlink to /opt/java/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so in /usr/lib/opera/10.00, which worked and now I can see applets in Opera properly. Now the question is, who's fault is it? Opera's? Jre's? And more importantly, can it be solved in a way that doesn't require users to create symlinks as root? Either opera package could create the aforementioned link, only that is ugly for those not using jre package. Or jre package could create the link into /opt/java/jre/lib/amd64/. Or maybe even move the files from the "server" subdirectory to the upper directory (there are only three of them and I have no idea why they are in such a subdirectory)? Does anyone have a better idea? Perhaps adding /opt/java/jre/lib/amd64/server/ to LD_LIBRARY_PATH inside the opera shell script? Ondřej -- Cheers, Ondřej Kučera

[arch-general] nexuiz/nexuiz-data depency problem
by Thomas-Bahn 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

I have problems to install nexuiz on my system. Its a 64bit system and up to date synced to ftp://mir1.archlinuxfr.org. This mirror have synced since the last updates of nexuiz and nexuiz-data. If I install nexuiz with pacman -S nexuiz then the following messages are displayed: resolving dependencies... warning: cannot resolve "nexuiz-data", a dependency of "nexuiz" :: the following package(s) cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies: nexuiz Do you want to skip the above package(s) for this upgrade? [Y/n] Y looking for inter-conflicts... local database is up to date I have searched on the archlinux.org site for the packages and I found: any Community nexuiz-data 2.5.1-3 Orphan 2009-09-30 x86_64 Community nexuiz 2.5.1-3 xyne 2009-09-29 The package exists but pacman cant find it? Is there something wrong on the mirror or on my Arch Linux with the any-packages? Thanks for your help :) Thomas Bahn
