Re: [arch-general] vi/vim/gvim without ruby support
by Tobias Kieslich 09 May '09

Allan, the ruby in testing as of 3 days ago. That would be 1.8 I think. we can build gvim(the only one with ruby enabled) without ruby support for the time being. I don't think that many people actually script vim with ruby and there aren't all that many ruby-vim scripts out there. Now I can be wrong, but I think it's only fair to NOT let gvim stall the ruby packages. Once we have ruby 1.9* support in vim we enable it again. No big deal. As for the OP: vim is a symlink to vim-normal because upon installation of gvim it becomes a symlink to vim-full (more powerful, better script support, etc ... all the bells and whistles) where gvim will be a symlink to the same binary it just automatically invokes it with GUI support. That's just how vim works. -T On Sat, 09 May 2009, Allan McRae wrote: > Kessia 'even' Pinheiro wrote: >> Hi all, >> Tobias, i`m without a machine, so, i can`t check the vim version.

They tend to lock you out from everything, sometimes because they fear what you could do and sometimes because of nearly-fascist laws that would oblige them to log everything. Filtering out is easier, and it really helps with bureaucracy. That said, I once managed, as a student, to meet the whole IT team in my university, and in an official encounter I demanded to open at least some more ports... You see, there are exams where you *have* to use CVS/SVN for your projects, and the ports are filtered out from the inside. It's not an annoyance, it's just plain stupid: you often work with people who live very far from the city and you can't work together at the university. Well, they refused to open ports citing legislations, the need to filter p2p apps, the heaviness of level 7 filters... Heck, we didn't even have IMAP! I told them that, with https open, we could tunnel everything where we wanted. They know it and don't care, because it's a really small niche of students that can do it. I can assure you that I was very, very tempted to write an easy to use tunneling app and publish it for all the students to use. This is the situation in a country that is in the G8 ("economic power" my ass) for unknown reasons... old tech, misunderstandings and censorship. Sorry for the rant. Corrado

[arch-general] Must i do the toolchain update or can i wait
by Attila 07 May '09

07 May '09

Hello together, my question is about that if the toolchain update comes do i have to do it to get no problems with the rest of my system or can i wait if i find patches or hints to solve possible problems with my own packages? For the case that i can wait i will block the upgrade of this packages: * gcc{,-libs}-4.4.0-1 * glibc-2.9-7 * bintuils-2.9-7 * kernel-headers-2.6.29.1-1 And i will stay from this point on with kernel26-2.6.29.2-1. My next question is that i want to know if this will be enough or should i block more packages? The base is that i still stay with kde3 which i have packaged in the arch way (one package at example kdenetwork) but with the sources from kdemod3. It is no question that this is my problem and has to be solved only by myself but perhaps anyone has some good hints or a url to informations about it. See you, Attila

[arch-general] kde control center "Use my KDE style in GTK applications" causes ooo buttons to disappear
by David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. 06 May '09

06 May '09

Listmates, I have an interesting one for you, in openOffice, all of the icons on the toolbars and all of the text of the context menus disappear when I click on a document in writer. If I brush the mouse over the toolbar or menu, the icons/text reappears while the icon or text has focus, but then disappears again when the focus leaves. I have a number of illustrative screenshots here: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/bugs/ooo/oo-menus-missing.jpg http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/bugs/ooo/oo-menus-missing1.jpg http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/bugs/ooo/oo-toolbars-missing.… http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/bugs/ooo/oo-toolbars-missing1… http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/bugs/ooo/oo-toolbars-missing2… Version Information: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/bugs/ooo/oo-about.jpg The problem seems to have started after changing the kde control center setting for "Appearance & Themes" -> "GTK Styles and Fonts" -> "Use my KDE style in GTK applications". I just confirmed this on an X86_64 box that I had not made this setting on. I opened ooowriter and all buttons were there in a very flat and ugly style. I then changed the above setting which required a KDE restart. So I logged out and logged back in, reopened the same document and all of the buttons started disappearing. Has anyone else seen anything like this? More importantly, how do I fix it? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Alsa state and my front speakers
by Magnus Therning 06 May '09

06 May '09

I had no problems at all configuring the basic setup for Alsa, everything worked perfect. At the end I issued `alsactl store` and rebooted hoping that my settings would be restored on boot. They were, almost; all settings except the unmute of the front speakers. This forces me to go in and use `alsamixer` each time I boot, just to unmute the front speakers. I've had a look at the the file `/etc/asound.state` but can't make heads or tails of it. Any suggestions on how I can get my front speakers to be unmuted on boot? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

Listmates, I'm fighting with PolicyKit to mount my USB drives and --- it's Winning! I've modified /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf to give all users and myself (david) explicit authority (as a member of wheel and as me) and I've *restarted* hal and still no-go? My conf file looks like this: <config version="0.1"> <define_admin_auth group="wheel"/> <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable"> <match group="users"> <return result="yes"/> </match> </match> <match user="david"> <return result="yes"/> </match> </config> No matter what I do I get: org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable no <-- (action, result) What gives?? -- David C.
