[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

[arch-general] autogen.sh now fails building radeonhd - m4_pattern_allow -- how?
by David C. Rankin 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Listmates, I have been working with the radeonhd folks for several months testing the radeonhd driver. I have probably built the driver 50 times over that period. In the past few days, something changed so I can no longer run the autogen.sh script. The error is: 09:46 alchemy:~/archlinux/apps/radeonhd> sh autogen-autoconf.sh --prefix=/usr autoreconf: Entering directory `.' autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf: running: aclocal /usr/share/aclocal/progsreiserfs.m4:13: warning: underquoted definition of AC_CHECK_LIBREISERFS /usr/share/aclocal/progsreiserfs.m4:13: run info '(automake)Extending aclocal' /usr/share/aclocal/progsreiserfs.m4:13: or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing autoreconf: running: libtoolize --copy libtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.ac and libtoolize: rerunning libtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros in-tree. libtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am. /usr/share/aclocal/progsreiserfs.m4:13: warning: underquoted definition of AC_CHECK_LIBREISERFS /usr/share/aclocal/progsreiserfs.m4:13: run info '(automake)Extending aclocal' /usr/share/aclocal/progsreiserfs.m4:13: or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf configure:1583: error: possibly undefined macro: _m4_text_wrap_word If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1 I have searched and I can't figure out what the error is. The radeonhd source is from: git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-radeonhd radeonhd/ The simple autogen.sh script is: #! /bin/sh srcdir=`dirname "$0"` test -z "$srcdir" && srcdir=. ORIGDIR=`pwd` cd "$srcdir"; rm -rf autom4te.cache autoreconf -v --install || exit 1 cd "$ORIGDIR" || exit $? "$srcdir"/configure --enable-maintainer-mode "$@" Anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong?? I have the needed macro packages installed: m4 1.4.13-1 xorg-util-macros 1.2.2-1 -- David C.

[arch-general] In defense of pacman.static
by Piyush P Kurur 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Hi, This is my first posting on Arch-general. I am one of the recent converts to the Arch religion from the Debian religion. I am writing this in defense of the pacman.static package from archlinuxfr site. I have been running for Arch on a server, a laptop and an eeepc box for a while. The server and laptop were updated almost regularly may be once every 3 days where as the eeepc was not upgraded for about 2 months. So I hit pacman -Syu on eeepc and it first asked to install the new pacman version. I went ahead and then with the new pacman I had a problem. It would just not run as a shared library was missing. I was stuck. One way was to reinstall the thing again, I hate this. The other solution which I now describe might be known but still it might be interesting if you get stuck in a similar situation. Imagin that you are install Arch linux sitting in another distro. You would have started with installing the pacman.static package first and then syncing the packages into the directory which will be your new arch root. Something like $ mount /dev/sda2 /media/target $ # copy the mirror list and pacman.conf in the appropriate place $ pacman.static --root /media/target -Sy base Now that you are already in Arch all you have to do is the last line. In my case I just had to install the xz-utils package absense of which was creating the problem. $ pacman.static -S xz-utils The pacman upgrade some how did not install this package. I guess this is a bug. After that the pacman started working fine and I did the following $ pacman -Syu Note. This might be a problem with my pacman.conf. I probably had to install things in the right order. Regards ppk

About the backend transition - does that mean maintainers of the packages in the community repo cannot update their packages at the moment or is there some other problem ? Should i email the maintainers personally to make a request to update ?
