I had trouble building in a clean chroot on my new install, it kept failing because unionfs was nissing.

[arch-general] Openbox - great lightweight desktop, similar to icewm, but better in several regards
by David C. Rankin 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

Listmates, After reading the newsletter article about old boxes with minimal hardware collecting dust in a closet, I thought about the openbox desktop I had just given a run-through and thought I would pass it along. You have several lightweight desktops to choose from, icewm, fluxbox, etc.., but also add openbox to the list. As a minimal desktop, it is pretty cool. Damn fast, easily configurable, and well implemented. (it even ran Virtualbox with a XP guest for me) It is similar to icewm in operation, but if you want a panel, you will need to choose and install one. However it does allow for minimized apps and has a good app-switcher (alt+tab) and middle-mouse switches between desktops. The only thing I didn't find was an Alt+F2 run command equivalent (I'm sure it's there, I just haven't found it) If you do take a look at openbox (not KDE/openbox or Gnome/openbox, just openbox), then go ahead an install 'obmenu' and 'obconf' that help with menu configuration and theme settings, etc. To help with background selection, you can download wallmenu-0.3.py. I modified the one at my site to provide a sorted list of wallpapers in /usr/share/wallpapers that works well with the default openSuSE setup. Just edit the script and change the directory location if you want it to look in other locations. http://www.3111skyline.com/download/linux/openbox/wallmenu-0.3.py (you will need to edit the path to the wallpaper directory of your choosing in the script) Additionally, to make it available in the menu, you can add the script as a pipe-menu, or just download the menu.xml from my site and copy it to ~/.config/openbox/ and it is already there under the "System" menu. http://www.3111skyline.com/download/linux/openbox/menu.xml The only other file you need to play with to make openbox really functional is the ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh. You can set any additional programs or scrips you would like to start at login. On suse I needed to start wifi with knetworkmanager if it wasn't started, but with Arch, I just set my background image with feh: # Set background image feh --bg-scale /home/david/linux/wallpapers/1440/spacestation- panels-2-1440.jpg One other thing I did was to modify the Onyx theme to darken the inactive window titlebar and the active titlebar text. If you want to give it a try, just copy the "Onyx-dcr" directory to themes directory and it will be available in obconf for selection. All in all, I was as impressed with openbox as I was with icewm. Both are great lightweight window managers that will get the job done and, if you are on older hardware, they will definitely blow the doors off KDE/Gnome from a performance perspective.

I am using the arch devtools scripts and it is called from there. I am not calling it I think the makechrootpkg is calling it but I don't know for sure as I have not looked at the script The namcap.log file is in /home/Chroot/rw/pkgdest sub directory. I am using sudo makechroot -c -r /home/Chroot -u -- --noconfirm to run the clean chroot build. Should it not find the package?

[arch-general] 1080p playback
by Paulo Santos 12 Jun '09

12 Jun '09

Greetings everyone, I've been having some issues playing 1080p movies, performance wise. I have a 8800GTS, the 640MB one, and a Core 2 Duo 6600 running at 2,4GHz. By default, with the regular mplayer, it uses 50% of the CPU (100% of one core?) and after a while the movie starts lagging, desynchronizing video/sound. If I seek forward or back the sync gets fixed so I'm guessing it's not the movie's fault. I tried installing mplayer-vdpau-nogui from AUR. The installation ended with some problems, but it was compiled. I found it under /var/aur/something and tried running ./mplayer -vo help but vdpau wasn't listed there. Wikipedia [1] says vdpau supports 8800GTS 640, but several other places says it doesn't. This card has VP1, so, from what I read, at least a part of the processing can be put on it, wonder if vdpau will ever support it. If vdpau really doesn't support it, is there a way for me to watch 1080p movies on my machine? Maybe some kind of patch to mplayer that makes it use both cores or something... Thanks in advance, Best regards, Paulo Santos [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDPAU

[arch-general] Installing packages with different glibc
by Baho Utot 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

Does it create complications if I install packages built with a newer glibc-2.10.1-2 on a system with an older glibc-2.9-7? According to LFS they say if you chnage glibc you should rebuilt all the installed packages with the newer glibc. Does this hold true for Arch?

Thanks. I thought that this was interesting. According to their web site (http://www.aceitutoring.com.au/page4.php) the ACN (Australian Company Number) for Ace International Tutoring Pty Ltd is 119220996 The state in which Ace does business does not register trademarks themselves. http://www.business.vic.gov.au/BUSVIC/STANDARD/PC_50028.html So, I did a search for the ACN using ATMOSS at IP Australia from here: http://www.ipaustralia.gov.au/trademarks/search_index.shtml The last Trade Mark to be lodged was 1302662 on 04-JUN-09 The last Trade Mark to be indexed was 1301846 on 29-MAY-09 1. Enter as Guest 2. Select Search->Advanced on the sidebar 3. Type in the ACN (119220996) near the bottom It seems that Ace International Tutoring Pty Ltd holds no registered trademarks. At least not since May 29th. Searching Qantas Airlines (ACN 009661901) reveals 152 records. This is just a bit of quick research Cheers!
