[arch-general] After upgrade to KDE 4.2.2 AltGr missing in Konsole and gtk apps
by waldek 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Hi, could somebody have a look at this topic: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=69393 in short, after the upgrade to KDE 4.2.2 AltGr key does not work in Konsole, Yakuake and gtk applications. It works in all other native KDE applications. maybe some KDE users with Gernam keyboard here who could check if they have the same problem before I open a bug report at kde.org. Cheers Waldek

Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] [signoff] kernel-2.6.29.1-3

Aufs2 works fine. Other problem: But I think there is a upload bug with rtl8187 driver. With kernel 2.6.28.8 i can get to my full upload speed at the low end. With kernel 2.6.29 it starts at full upload speed then goes down from there. It bugs me cause i upload livecds and it fells like the new 2.6.29 is kill the connection with upload. kernel 2.6.28.8 upload speed: 500Kbyte/sec goes down to 256Kbyte/sec kernel 2.6.29 upload speed: 256Kbyte/sec goes down to like 90Kbyte/sec or less. Other then this bug it can go in to core. Since i don't think its going to get solved just yet.

>Does that mean aufs2 itself works but in combination with unionfs it is not >working? Aufs2 works fine if your not using unionfs. I think this cause the fs/stack.c file was major edit with unionfs patch. Just a guess has to why unionfs screws up aufs2.

Like syslog-ng, that when compiled it looks if the sys/capabilities.h is present. There are a _old_ bug in old VirtualBox version that depends on libcap1. -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi ( djgera ) http://www.djgera.com.ar KeyID: 0x1B8C330D Key fingerprint = 0CAA D5D4 CD85 4434 A219 76ED 39AB 221B 1B8C 330D

Aufs freezes my archiso-live build in virtualbox. I believe this bug is cause aufs2 only worked for me without unionfs. Sadly thats the only way i ever got aufs2 to work at all with kernel 2.6.29 that i build.

[arch-general] PKGBUILD: mkdir or install?
by Ali H. Caliskan 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Hello fellow Arch Linux devels and users, I'm wondering if it's inappropriate to use "mkdir -p" in PKGBUILD instead of "install". I've seen quite many official PKGBUILDs that use mkdir instead of install, whose very structure I've adopted and applied in my various PKBUILDs. Does it matter if it's mkdir or install, and why? Kind regards, Ali

[arch-general] System tools SMBConfig not running properly
by Will Siddall 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Hey, I just ran a system update this morning which updated all of the new GNOME updates and some arch updates. The issue now is that after I restart, I find that the SystemBackendTools.pl script (especially for '-m SMBConfig') is running at full capacity. It also keeps opening a new loading window almost every second so that I can't see my running windows in the task panel anymore. Anyone know about this, or what could be causing it? Thanks, Will
