Isnt it a bit incosistent to all other *.d's? pacman.conf isnt in pacman.d, logrotate.conf isnt in logrotate.d, rc.conf isnt in rc.d etc. Are there plans to move those too? -- Greg

[arch-general] Squirrelmail Gotcha
by David C. Rankin 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

List, Most of you know this, but it caught me off-guard. With Arch (with good security) if you define your squirrelmail data and attachment directories outside your document root (which you should), then you must explicitly add the path to the parent directory of data & attachment to the open_basedir path in /etc/php/php.ini. Example: open_basedir = /srv/http/:/srv/www:/home/:/tmp/:/usr/share/pear/:/usr/local/share/sqmail Restart the web server and your good. Without it, you are dead in the water... -- David C.

[arch-general] Possible bug with kdm - doesn't show kde3 as session option & no console login
by David C. Rankin 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

Listmates, Before filing a bug, I would like to see if anyone else can confirm this behavior with an i686 install. I installed kde-unstable which installed kdm instead of kdm3. With kdm3 everything seemed OK. I could select kde or kde3 as the session type and I could do a 'console login' (CTRL+N). However, with kdm, I no longer have the option of starting kde3 and console login fails. The console login just appears to do a kdm restart. It just flashes blank and then right back to the kdm greeter. Bugs or features? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] KDE-unstable - kapps crash on start (konqueror, kmail, etc.)
by David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

Listmates: On my i686 box I am experiencing crashes for many of the default 'k'apps like konqueror, kmail, etc. I have provided the backtraces to kde.org. I went back and installed the kdemod3 kde3.5 to have access to the kde3.5 versions of the same apps within kde4.3. I don't know if the Arch developers are interested in me providing the backtraces or not. Let me know if you want them and I will send them in. The remainder of kde43 is working well. Still some quirks, no doubt, but impressive. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Thank you Henning, I'll look into those options. Quoting Henning Garus <henning.garus(a)googlemail.com>: > You might want to consider the conflict/provides stuff for vim anyway or you > should start to prepare yourself for the wrath of those who type vi and > expect vim... I can handle that, the amount of wrath is quite amazing already :P -T

[arch-general] bash 4.0 / readline 6.0 rebuilds
by Caleb Cushing 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

been using arch for a few months and generally good and current... but I just noticed that it still hasn't moved to bash 4. I'm wondering what the status of it is? and where it's being held up (searching the bugtracker found nothing that looked on target). perhaps I can help? -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com
