[arch-general] KDE, Bluetooth and Wifi
by Manne Merak 27 May '09

27 May '09

So, I am new here, just installed ArchLinux on my work laptop. Had some issues with getting X and KDE4 up, but all fine now. KDE4 is different, I can see why some people dislike it - still needs that polished feeling that 3.5 had, but hey that will come with time. My biggest concern at the moment is Bluetooth mouse and Wifi. KBluetooth looses my mouse, randomly, and there is no KNetworkManager (well a finished one) at the moment. So my question, what does the ArchLinux KDE community use for Bluetooth and Wifi management. (I can fiddle round with bluez and wpa_supplicant config files, but would rather use some higher level config util) Manne ps. I come from the OpenSUSE world, so excuse my desire for management tools.

[arch-general] libarchive - bsdtar producing weird archives?
by Michael Towers 27 May '09

27 May '09

The result of a makepkg run produced what looked like a totally garbled package, when viewed in mc's virtual file system. That led me to investigate a bit, so I tried packing up a few directories with bsdtar and sometimes got similarly garbled results. However, unpacking worked completely normally, as also did viewing the archives in xarchiver or squeeze. If I use tar instead of bsdtar to do the packing, they appear normally in mc. Does anyone know what's going on here? Is it mc that is getting something wrong, or bsdtar?

And update the DeveloperWiki:Building in a Clean Chroot to say you need kernel-2.6.xx and aufs2-utils. I lost 3 days trying to fix this. I needed to build a few packages for a server. Since I have done a Clean install from the latest install CD and sync'd/updated the system my build system broke and following the wiki no longer works. Thanks

[arch-general] Problem w/Digest?
by Keith 26 May '09

26 May '09

Below are the 1st and last messages contained in the copy of Vol. 55 #44 I received, dated May 24, 5:56 PM EDT. Note the timestamp on message #1: May 23, 9:17 AM UTC. Yet the message quoted within message #10, timestamped May 24, 11:52 UTC, isn't in the digest (or anywhere else I can find). I've noted this numerous times recently and wrote it off to a lousy memory. But it's clearly more than that. Are these cross-posts being replied to? Is the digest dropping messages?

[arch-general] xorg crash with setxkbmap frequently use
by Sergey Manucharian 25 May '09

25 May '09

Hi folks, X server crashes randomly with the following error: [xkb] BOGUS LENGTH in write keyboard desc, expected 5576, got 5592 Graphic card is Intel G965, driver xf86-video-intel, tried both from [extra] and [testing]. I'm using the Caps_Lock key to change the keyboard layout via a script. I do not want to use "grp:caps_toggle" in xkb options since I need to do something else besides just layout switching. My bash script toggles between layouts running "setxkbmap -layout us" or "setxkbmap -layout ru" commands depending on the current one. Once in a while X server crashes on the toggling. Before I used the "stock" method "grp:caps_toggle", and it never crashed. Google finds several bug reports with the similar error string, but they are not related to layout switching. Thanks for ideas! Sergey.
