This bug was closed with "It is not a bug " and BTW you solution is wrong. Flac fails with "command not found line 20" when built under clean chroot This is line 20: patch -p1 < ../flac-1.2.1-gcc-4.3-includes.patch || return 1 Please fix As a side note which is correct ${startdir}/patch.file or ${srcdir}/patch.file I have be disciplined for both

Yes the chroot was installed with base base-devel sudo as per wiki And the chroot fuction/built the entire abs/core so it should be working. I am building extra alphbeticaly and it stops on flac after fixing flac to patch -p1 -i ${startdir}/flac-1.2.1-gcc-4.3-includes.patch || return 1 it works.

[arch-general] openjdk6 - 1.5 update
by Andreas Radke 29 May '09

29 May '09

the new version is in testing for x86_64, i686 will follow soon. please test it. look for the new features and especially if all fonts and characters are ok for you. I still expect some problems with Asian fonts. You can to some character tests here: http://www.pccl.demon.co.uk/java/unicode.html -Andy We are proud to announce the release of IcedTea6 1.5. The IcedTea6 project provides a harness to build the source code from OpenJDK6 (http://openjdk.java.net) using Free Software build tools. What's New? ----------------- - Static trace support through systemtap. When given the configure option --enable-systemtap IcedTea will build hotspot with the dtrace static markers enabled and install an hotspot tapset that can be used to dynamically trace execution of java applications at runtime. See the tapset/hotspot.stp file for documentation of the various trace points and arguments available. - Allow building of other virtual machines besides the default VM. Additional virtual machines on architectures where hotspot is available are cacao and zero (or shark), and cacao, where zero (or shark) is available. It's not possible to build cacao as the default VM, and zero as additional VM. - Update to latest HotSpot minor build (hs14b10-->hs14b15) from the new HotSpot Express repository. - Updated to OpenJDK b16 build. - VisualVM updated to 1.1.1. - Updated to support CACAO 0.99.4. - Several web browser plugin and javaws support fixes: - Fixed security handling to prevent access denials when there is a site specific exception in the policy file - Allow extentions (chrome) to run Java code with full permissions - Added non-trusted SSL support to WebStart (javaws) - Added proxy support - Other improvements that were breaking specific sites (tag parser fix, nested jar support, etc.) - Added JVM Console (used by http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/) - Removed gcjwebplugin support. - LCMS security fixes. - Many build improvements. - Many gervill, java2d, nio2, pulse java, zero/shark, jtreg fixes. - Experimental out-of-the-box cross-compilation support (not yet finished) - Other bug fixes.

[arch-general] Koffice help won't work in kde3 - Any suggestions?
by David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. 29 May '09

29 May '09

Listmates, I installed koffice and attempted to open an openoffice (.odt) document and kword crashed immediately. Next I opened kword again to read through the help file and any notes, and the help doesn't seem to work either: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/bugs/koffice.jpg The backtrace for the kword crash is: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/bugs/kword.kcrash Is there a work-around that will let me get the help file working? It looks to be a kde3 desktop/kde4 runtime issue. Any help appreciated. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] KDE stoped working
by Nicolas Bigaouette 29 May '09

29 May '09

Hi all, I'm using KDE 4.2.3 on all my (up-to-date) machines. My workstation crashed an hour ago so I had to reboot. But then KDE would not launch anymore. I'm clueless of what could have gone wrong... I login normaly via KDM, launched as runlevel 5 (inittab). KDM works: I can enter my login information. Then KDE starts loading. But then, as soon as the hardrive icon is fuly "unblured", it shutdown and bring me back to KDM. Same thing if I try via startx (startkde in .xinitrc). I then get this error in my terminal: > X.Org X Server 1.6.1 > Release Date: 2009-4-14 > X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 > Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.29-ARCH x86_64 > Current Operating System: Linux soundwave 2.6.29-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed > May 20 06:42:43 UTC 2009 x86_64 > Build Date: 15 April 2009 11:01:49AM > > Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org > to make sure that you have the latest version. > Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting, > (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational, > (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. > (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Wed May 27 14:34:14 2009 > (==) Using default built-in configuration (39 lines) > (EE) Failed to load module "i810" (module does not exist, 0) > (EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0) > Setting master > xset: bad font path element (#23), possible causes are: > Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions > Directory missing fonts.dir > Incorrect font server address or syntax > startkde: Starting up... > kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/klauncher > kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/kded4 > kded(7702): Communication problem with "kded" , it probably crashed. > Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did > not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" " > > kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/kcminit_startup > kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/ksmserver > startkde: Shutting down... > klauncher: Exiting on signal 1 > startkde: Running shutdown scripts... > startkde: Done. > > waiting for X server to shut down Dropping master > DBus is running: > > ps aux | grep dbus > dbus 4157 0.0 0.0 8500 940 ?

Looking through the log file, it is quite a coincidence that the downclocking chose 140000 as the memory clock downclock because that was exactly what I had been setting with the: Option "LowPowerModeEngineClock" "140000" At least we know that the patch applies OK and that it has the desired effect on the memory clock. Now if we can just figure out what else we need to power down to get the temps under control, we will be home free! Thank you for your patch.

[arch-general] Network Shutdown Prior to umount on cifs mounts hangs shutdown
by David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. 29 May '09

29 May '09

Listmates, I am experiencing a hang on shutdown with Arch every time I don't manually unmount any samba/cifs shares before shutting down. This is due to the shutdown sequence killing my network connection before unmounting the samba shares. This basicly leaves all samba shares mounted and [Busy] which frustrates the unmount filesystems call late in the shutdown sequence. Is there any way to move the network shutdown until after samba shares are unmounted in the shutdown sequence. Or conversely, move or add a samba/cifs shares unmount to the sequence at a time before the network shuts down? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Should this be done differently? Personally I have no issue with this, and it's beneficial to me.
