[arch-general] Xorg broken after last update
by Luís Moreira 08 Aug '09

08 Aug '09

Hello. The last update broke my Xorg, the screen just goesn black and hangs there, CTRL+ALT+F1 (etc) doesn't do anything. I'm using X86_64, *without* [testing]. The updated packages were kernel26 nvidia xorg-server (and some others, less important) If I change the driver in xorg.conf from nvidia to vesa X works again. Anyone experienced the same thing? Best regards, Luís Moreira.

[arch-general] Firefox and ALSA - Blocks other applications from using ALSA
by Samuel Baldwin 08 Aug '09

08 Aug '09

Ever since I upgraded to Firefox 3.5, every time I pause my music in mpd I can't start it again so long as firefox is still running. I have to kill firefox (literally kill; I tell it to quit, but the process never dies, so I have to kill it by hand) to be able to play music again. Sometimes I'd have this happen if I had a flash video with sound open or something in earlier versions, but now it happens even if I don't have any pages with flash open. Any idea how I should get around this? -- Samuel Baldwin - logik.li

[arch-general] AUR upload
by Nicolas Bigaouette 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

Hi all! I'm trying to update a PKGBUILD of mine in aur[1], but I get an empty page a minute or so after clicking submit and nothing is updated... Am I forgetting something?? The PKGBUILD is relatively simple[2]. I even simplified it when bumping the version. namcap does not report anything on it either... Is AUR broken or am I missing something?? Thanx!

[arch-general] Question about split packages
by Magnus Therning 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

I've been playing around with split packages and it's a nice feature, it'll make some packaging tasks a lot easier. Anyway, there's one thing I can't find out, is it possible to have one package depend on another one that's built from the same sources? Basically something like this: pkgname=('foo' 'bar') ... build () { ... } package_foo () { ... } package_bar () { depends=('foo') ... } /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

[arch-general] kdelibs3-3.5.10-6 -> rosegarden fails to start
by Axel Müller 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

After the update of kdelibs3 from 3.5.10-5 to 3.5.10-6 rosegarden doesn't start anymore and outputs the message "rosegarden: error while loading shared libraries: libkdecore.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". Recompiling Rosegarden didn't do the trick, downgrading kdelibs3 does. The file '/opt/kde/lib/libkdecore.so.4' is present in both versions of kdelibs3. So is this a problem in kdelibs3-3.5.10-6 or does rosegarden in some way has to be fixed? This is on x86_64.

[arch-general] Firefox Fullscreen Fix
by Andrei Thorp 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

Hello, With the latest Firefox (3.5) with closed Nvidia drivers providing libGL, Firefox (or something) segfaults whenever you try to fullscreen a flash video (try youtube). Searching around, I've found a fix: simply export this in your environment: export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 You can just put this in your zsh/bash/whatever profile/config, or make a wrapper script for firefox or something. I'm contemplating filing a bug with us. Do you guys think it's worth doing? Is it with us? Cheers, -Andrei "Garoth" Thorp

[arch-general] OOo Calc max rows
by Manne Merak 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

Hi, I have Calc 3.1.1 installed on two separate machines, one Arch and other openSUSE10.3 (both from their respective repos, not from openoffice.org). Both have a maximum row count of 1048576? I wasn't aware that the 65536 limit was increased; I cannot find anything at openoffice.org about this feature? Problem is that some (small) sheets now save to 100Meg files? Obviously still some bugs left. Anyone also have 1048576 rows in Calc 3.1.1? Manne
