[arch-general] My first convert isn't going so well. Problems with net install.
by David C. Rankin 12 Sep '09

12 Sep '09

Listmates, One of my friends from the openSuSE list was trying his first archilinux install and ran into an issue. IWell, my first attempt at installing Arch Linux did not go well. The net install went OK but when it came to the, I guess, configuration of the system, things went bum-up: the network configuration files could not be read and therefore could not be written, or something along these lines. don't know if this will explain the problem fully, but if this describes a common problem with the latest network install cd's, then if somebody could point me in the right direction, I'll pass the answer along. The problem encountered was described as follows: <quote> Well, my first attempt at installing Arch Linux did not go well. The net install went OK but when it came to the, I guess, configuration of the system, things went bum-up: the network configuration files could not be read and therefore could not be written, or something along these lines. </quote> He is an experienced Linux user, so the issue encountered wasn't one that had to do with a lack of understanding of Linux itself. If any of this makes sense and if there is a link or something that might help, just let me know and I'll pass it along. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Can't ssh to vServer running ArchLinux
by Johannes Held 11 Sep '09

11 Sep '09

Hello, after my latest update of my vServer, I wanted to ssh into this box. But I'm given this error message and the ssh hangs: $ ssh bitterblume.com PTY allocation request failed on channel 0 Is there any chance to resque that? I've always did a copy of the old kernel-image. Perhaps I can get the support to boot my machine by hand and change the grub line .. -- Gruß, Johannes Täglich http://blog.hehejo.de und du fühlst dich gut.

[arch-general] Problems with most recent gstreamer updates
by Sven-Hendrik Haase 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

Hey everybody, I was wondering whether anybody else had trouble since the update to extra/gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins 0.10.14-1 and extra/gstreamer0.10-good-plugins 0.10.16-1 using applications that make use of gstreamer. A couple of people including me seem to have issues with it that cause all gstreamer applications to fail. I'm bringing this up on the mailing list because I can't seem to find the root cause of the problem by myself and because gstreamer is a critical part of any Gnome setup (gnome-settings-daemon fails without it, for example). The problem on running gstreamer applications is this: Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal Even gnome-settings-daemon in debug mode has little more relevant info than this error message. Since gstreamer itself probably doesn't provide detail logs of what went wrong, I'm having trouble finding the cause. The gstreamer bug tracker doesn't have a bug filed on this so I don't know whether this is an Arch problem or an upstream problem. The Arch bug report is here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16060 Can you guys try to help out debugging? -- Sven-Hendrik

[arch-general] KDE packages orphaned?
by David Rosenstrauch 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

Just wondering: It looks like many of the KDE packages are now orphaned. e.g.: kdebase-dolphin, kdebase-konsole, etc. Anyone know why and/or if there's any plans for someone else to adopt them? Thanks, DR
