I have setup a new computer with a clean install with kernel26-2.6.29.4-1 does this kernel support unionfs? This is the second system I have had trouble with. Devtools always complains like this building union chroot ERROR: No unionfs available. Abandon ship! FAILURE: vsftpd-2.1.0-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz I am using devtools 0.6.4-1 the latest I think When I use devtools with kernel26 2.6.27.10-1 on an older system devtools works Anyone got a clue what is wrong?

Another thing is that I think is important in changing the "status" field if task is assigned, it's much simpler to manage and allocate the missing. Many task are currently assigned to people but this field is in "unconfirmed". There any objection if I change the "status" to all the task currently assigned, but this field does not reflect the state? Unconfirmed -> Assigned (if task have people assigned) Good Luck! -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi ( djgera ) http://www.djgera.com.ar KeyID: 0x1B8C330D Key fingerprint = 0CAA D5D4 CD85 4434 A219 76ED 39AB 221B 1B8C 330D

[arch-general] Making logs readable by other user than root
by Magnus Therning 13 Jun '09

13 Jun '09

Is there a good HOWTO on making syslog-ng create files with owner:group other than root:root? I'd like to make it possible for some users to read the logs in /var/log. Any good suggestion for an already existing group to use? I was thinking of either log or wheel, any thoughts? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

[arch-general] Package groups
by Grigorios Bouzakis 13 Jun '09

13 Jun '09

Is it OK for a package in [community] to be part of a package group? AFAIK package groups dont exist in [community] or if they do they are not the same as the ones in extra. eg. http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15053 http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/community/gnome/empathy/PKGBUILD?view… empathy gets to be part of gnome-extra -- Greg

[arch-general] resolution stuck at 640x480
by prad 13 Jun '09

this is on an older machine 450MHz with 128M ram and 3D rage card - working off an lcd monitor for whom i've had to set horizsync 30-35 vertrefresh 50-100 (or it tries to overshoot the monitor's capabilities and the screen locks up with an outofrange error for the horizsync. everything installed fine, but even with the following in xorg.conf: driver set to ati defaultdepth to 16 modes "1024x768" "800x600" it comes up as 640x480 also, i need to exec xterm& before going into lxde or the cursor doesn't show up. i've already pacmaned xf86-video-r128 (rage driver) xf86-video-ati (ati driver) it works fine in 640x480 (though a bit rough), but it would be nice to get at least 800x600. -- In friendship, prad ... with you on your journey Towards Freedom http://www.towardsfreedom.com (website) Information, Inspiration, Imagination - truly a site for soaring I's

In all my testing it proved to be stable, even with injection. However last time I checked they still didn't support Master mode. According to linuxwireless they still don't (http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath5k#features) Madwifi supports this for ages of course. The Turbo and Super modes are also present even in the cheapest of cards, probably not commonly used, but present. I also want to mention the BBS topic on kernel panics on Acer machines (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=73877) It seems to be a bug in the wmi driver which affects acer-wmi when stack protection is enabled. Patch is available somewhere on the LKML and is waiting to go upstream. It would be good to warn users to blacklist acer_wmi when this kernel goes out of testing. Cheers. -- Adrian C.
