[arch-general] kwrite: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 ??
by David C. Rankin 23 Oct '09

23 Oct '09

Guys, New strange error while I troubleshoot the dead X intel card issue. As mentioned, I have managed to get twm and openbox running in vncserver on the box with the intel card. kde4 apps will run, but look terrible due to the difference in color-depth, etc., so I was trying to get kde3/kate or kwrite running. I have always been able to run the kde3 apps from both twm and openbox before, but now I get the following error: /opt/kde/bin/kwrite: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 same error with kate, and just about any other kde3 app. Any way to fix this? I like vim, but I admit, I am a bit quicker with multiple kate/kwrite windows at my disposal. I don't think this would be related to the X problem, but... could it be? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] pkgbuild of tightvnc doesn't produce and installable package?
by David C. Rankin 23 Oct '09

23 Oct '09

Guys, I'm obviously doing something wrong. I set up abs, then copied the tightvnc package to my build dir, then I built it with makepkg -s (built clean - no errors), then I went to install it and it bombed. 03:24 dcrgx2:~/arch/abs/tightvnc> sudo pacman -U tightvnc-1.3.10_unixsrc.tar.bz2 loading package data... error: missing package metadata in tightvnc-1.3.10_unixsrc.tar.bz2 error: 'tightvnc-1.3.10_unixsrc.tar.bz2': invalid or corrupted package What metadata am I missing? What did I do wrong? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. Rankin Law Firm, PLLC 510 Ochiltree Street Nacogdoches, Texas 75961 Telephone: (936) 715-9333 Facsimile: (936) 715-9339 www.rankinlawfirm.com

[arch-general] enlightenment e-svn (e17) segfaults with standard setup, OK with minimalist (battery module)
by David C. Rankin 22 Oct '09

22 Oct '09

Devs, I don't know if I should bug this since it is a svn package, but enlightenment (the e-svn package) segfaults and cannot recover if you choose the standard setup. It goes through the initial setup screens OK, but as soon as it tries to start, it segfaults and cannot be recovered. I deleted the ~/.e directory and re-ran setup a few times changing setup options and finally got it to load fine choosing the minimalist setup. I then went through the modules to see if I could find the one causing the problem. Sure enough, as soon as I attempted to load the battery module - WHAM segfault-unrecoverable. I know nothing about enlightenment as I had never event loaded it before a few days ago when troubleshooting the intel X crash issue, and then just e16. Tonight was my first time to load e17, so I don't know how much help I'll be troubleshooting the problem. But, before I did anything, I wanted to ask whether I should bug it, or just send this email since it was listed as a svn package (e-svn). Let me know... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] GDM + Xfce
by Lars Tennstedt 22 Oct '09

22 Oct '09

Hello, sorry that I have to annoy you again but you were always very helpful. I have a second Arch Linux install with GDM as login manager and Xfce as desktop environment. This installation is up-to-date. Since the version 2.28 of GDM or better GNOME was released, I noticed some little problems. I read the site about the GNOME 2.28 changes on wiki.archlinux.org and I now know how to configure the new GDM. But sometimes the login process from GDM to Xfce hangs forever and if I can login, it will take a much longer time now. These problems did not exist in the past. Can you help? Greetings Lars

[arch-general] Why does kde4 over vnc look bad if host is Arch, looks fine if suse?
by David C. Rankin 22 Oct '09

22 Oct '09

Guys, This has puzzled me for a while now. If I need to do something on a remote host that is something more than what I want to do over ssh (something that requires 4-5 windows or apps or configuring the actual remote desktop) I use vncserver/vncviewer. If I need a kde4 app and the remote host is opensuse, then there is no problem at all running the app. If the remote host is arch, then I am kind of screwed because there is some setting causing kde4 (which I understand uses native 24bit color) to look terrible. The vncserver setting on both suse and arch are identical. The start script I use for vncserver is: 20:24 dcrgx2:~> cat bin/vncs #!/bin/bash GEOMETRY=${1:-1280x800} DEPTH=${2:-24} SCREEN=${3:-1} vncserver -geometry $GEOMETRY -depth $DEPTH :$SCREEN & echo -e "\n vncserver returned $?\n" exit 0 The xstartup scripts are the same as well: Archlinux: 20:29 dcrgx2:~> cat .vnc/xstartup #!/bin/sh xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & #twm & startkde & #e16start & #enlightenment_start & suse: 20:19 dcrgx:~> cat .vnc/xstartup #!/bin/sh xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey #xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & #twm & startkde & #openbox & However, the resulting vncsession with Arch looks all garbled (pixilated) while the suse session looks great: Arch: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshots/archlinux/arch-kde4overvnc.… suse: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshots/archlinux/suse-kde4overvnc.… There must be some setting that controls this behavior. I would like to figure out what it is, because even if I use enlightenment or openbox on arch as my desktop over vnc, if I have to call a kde4 app, everything looks terrible. Where should I start looking to find the difference? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
