[arch-general] C-> and C<- does not work in urxvt in tabbed mode - archlinux specific
by Partha Chowdhury 11 Aug '09

11 Aug '09

i use rxvt-unicode as x terminal emulator. In tabbed mode i cannot use ctrl +left or right arrow keys to browse through words in history. i.e commands which take a long argument previously i was using fedora 10. i had asked this question in rxvt-unicode mailing list http://lists.schmorp.de/pipermail/rxvt-unicode/2009q2/001019.html and the solution described there worked in fedora 10. I also tested this on ubuntu 9.10 and it worked. In both cases the rxvt-unicode package was the same -9.06 but the above hack does not work in archlinux. Instead i find that i have to use alt key instead of ctrl key to achieve the purpose. It becomes annoying as the ctrl+arrow keys are used for the same purpose on console and any other terminal emulator as i use terminator often and i have to adjust based on circumstances. i took a look at PKGBUILD of rxvt-unicode and there is nothing that could point to this anomaly. so my question is this behaviour a bug or feature in archlinux ?

[arch-general] system-tools-backends
by Muhammad Qadri 11 Aug '09

11 Aug '09

I was told that there was some talk some time ago about problems with system-tools-backends on one of the lists, but I wasn't able to find it. I'm looking to try and get those working fully/properly (cause the perl backend's pretty easy to understand...don't ask). I was wondering if people who use gnome-system-tools (or anything else that uses system-tools-backends / liboobs) could let me know what problems they've been facing with it. Note that there's been a recent update to it, so the whole "Nothing shows up" problem should no longer be there. Thanks, MAQ.

[arch-general] X logging me out.
by Jason Ish 11 Aug '09

11 Aug '09

Hi all. After a recent system update (5 days ago) I find that I'm getting automatically logged out of X anywhere between 5-10 minutes into a session after a boot. I can relogin and then remain logged in. Any ideas whats up? I don't have any special X configuration - none that I'm aware of.. No xorg.conf, etc. System is a Lenovo X61 with Intel graphics. Thanks.

[arch-general] kscreensaver + electricsheep
by Edgar Kalkowski 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Hi, I have used electricsheep with kscreensaver for some time now but recently (after upgrade to 4.3) I changed to a different one for a change and wanted to go back to electricsheep today. But I see that it is missing in systemsettings. I checked and the file /usr/share/kde4/services/ScreenSavers/electricsheep.desktop is in place as installed from the electricsheep package. Has something changed in kscreensaver in 4.3 and thus perhaps the .desktop file is outdated? Or am I missing something else? Edgar

Got a response from Slice: The following kernels are available for your slice to upgrade. Please let us know and we can take care of that for you. 2.6.24 - 23.48 2.6.24 - 24.55 I believe these should be Ubuntu kernel versions; I'm seeing right now what they actually include as it might include a fully working signalfd(). If anyone wants to contact some other providers (especially if you are already using their services) and post the response here, that would be cool. -Dan

[arch-general] kde4 Help system error - Arch or KDE error?
by David C. Rankin 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Listmates, I got a strange error when selecting help inside konqueror settings. the error was: "The file or folder help:/ does not exist." (screenshot 63k) http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/bugs/kde4/kde-help-index.jpeg Is this an Arch or kde issue? (my guess is kde, but I thought I would ask) Also, can anyone confirm this? Go to konqueror -> Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> File Management -> General and then click on the "Help" button and let me know if you get the error. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
