[arch-general] kde dark themes
by David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. 21 May '09

21 May '09

kdeusers, If you haven't tried a dark theme for your kde desktop yet, you are missing out on some really cool looks. I toyed with dark themes over the years, but never really found one that worked. After being inspired to try again by senior Rosenstrauch posted one to the list, I took another look and came up with something I really like. It consists of color-themes for kde, emerald, and kate/kwrite. Other than that you just need to change the foreground color for konqueror and any of your web browsers, etc. I'll just post the links to the themes since you can't post it all here. Give it a shot, I bet you will like it. Small screenshots of the desktop theme and kicker background: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/kde/screenshots/kde-dark-them… http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/kde/screenshots/kickersteel.j… kde color-schemes (import under kde control center -> colors): http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/kde/color-themes/dcr-Blue.kcs… emerald theme for compiz (import in emerald theme manager): http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/emerald/dcr%20Dark%20Blue-Gra… kate/kwrite/quanta color scheme (put in ~/.kde/share/config): http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/kde/kateschemarc A kicker background (kde control center -> Desktop -> Panel -> Appearance): http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/kde/kicker/kickersteelarch2.p… There are a few alternate themes and backgrounds in the above directories, so you can pick and choose if you like. And DR, since you started this whole thing, and I appreciate it, if you notice the "R" icon on my kicker panel that is set atop flames, I've put two sizes on the server (40x40 and 140x140) just in case you have a use for them ;-) See: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/kde/icons/ -- David C.

[arch-general] Firefox bug that may be Arch specific
by Emmanuel Benisty 20 May '09

20 May '09

Hi List, Just for information, there has been already two bug reports in Bugzilla that mention a bug in the display size of textboxes. Until now, only Archers seems to suffer from this bug and one of the mozilla developers has marked this issue as specific to Arch. Therefore, I thought it could be interesting to let Arch developers and users to be informed about this. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=491114 Thanks+regards.

[arch-general] Marking a package as a dependency
by Magnus Therning 20 May '09

20 May '09

I just recently bothered reading part of pacman's man page and found that I probably should have performed a `pacman -U --asdeps mypkg.tar.gz` as I installed dependencies for packages I build manually. However I didn't, so can I retro-actively change the reason-for-installation of an already installed package without re-installing it? (No, I couldn't decipher whether the man page already tells me how to do this :-) /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

[arch-general] Building local repo - eliminating dups - why some new x86_64?
by David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. 20 May '09

20 May '09

Listmates, I'm building a local repo for boxes to update via the lan instead of redownloading. I have my repo on my local server as: arch/ x86/ x86_64/ I have moved all files for my two x86_64 boxes to the arch/x86_64 dir and I am filtering with a script to eliminate dups by moving the lesser numbered packages to arch/x86_64/oldpkgs. Testing the script before the actual move of packages, I ran across this anomaly in some filenames: (script output) [1] <snip> ttf-isabella-1.003-3.pkg.tar.gz -> oldpkgs ttf-isabella-1.003-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz tunepimp-0.5.3-5.pkg.tar.gz -> oldpkgs tunepimp-0.5.3-6-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz tzdata-2009f-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz -> oldpkgs tzdata-2009g-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz unrar-3.8.5-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz -> oldpkgs unrar-3.9.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz <snip> As shown above, there are multiple packages where the earlier version did *not* contain the x86_64 designation where the current package now does. Are these the same packages? If so why did earlier packages not have the x86_64 and when was the architecture added? Are all packages now going to have the architecture specified? Footnotes: [1] Filtering done by a simple look ahead and the output created as follows: PKGFILES=( $(ls -1 /home/backup/archlinux/x86_64) ) for ((i=0;i<${#PKGFILES[@]}-1;i++)); do if [[ ${PKGFILES[$i]%%-[[:digit:]]*} == ${PKGFILES[$i+1]%%-[[:digit:]]*} ]]; then echo -e "${PKGFILES[$i]} -> oldpkgs\n${PKGFILES[$i+1]}\n" fi -- David C.

The package for john is broken, it is missing files that make it unusable. I filled a bug report (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14422) a month ago and other users complained about this issue. The current maintainer is andrea and the package was last updated on april 8th. Can someone please fix this ? Thanks, Sébastien

[arch-general] error dumped to terminal: kdeinit4: ... /usr/bin/kbuildsycoca4 on kdemod3?
by David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. 18 May '09

18 May '09

Listmates, Here is a curious one. I am getting KDE4 errors dumped back to the screen on my KDE3 (kdemod3) screen hours after kdiff3 was run from the terminal? Here is what is getting dumped back to my terminal through stderr on my x86_64 install: kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/kbuildsycoca4 kbuildsycoca4 running... kbuildsycoca4(25149)/kdecore (KService) KServicePrivate::init: The desktop entry file "/usr/share/applications/kde4/koffice.desktop" has Type= "Application" but no Exec line kbuildsycoca4(25149)/kdecore (KService) KBuildServiceFactory::createEntry: Invalid Service : "/usr/share/applications/kde4/koffice.desktop" kbuildsycoca4(25149) KConfigGroup::readXdgListEntry: List entry Categories in "/usr/share/applications/opera.desktop" is not compliant with XDG standard (missing trailing semicolon). kbuildsycoca4(25149)/kdecore (KService) KServicePrivate::init: The desktop entry file "/usr/share/applications/scribus.desktop" has Type= "Application" but no Exec line kbuildsycoca4(25149)/kdecore (KService) KBuildServiceFactory::createEntry: Invalid Service : "/usr/share/applications/scribus.desktop" Anybody ever seen something like this before. It looks like it will be a kdemod issue related to the fact that kdiff3 was built against the kde4 runtime, but I thought I would ask hear to see if anyone else has seen something like this before? I have a bug open with kdemod: http://www.chakra-project.org/bugs/showreport.php?bugid=271 where additional details can be found. The times associated with running kdiff3 and then the above error messages have me confused. Specifically I ran kdiff3 and got the following output on stdout at 2:12 am: 02:12 alchemy:~/tmp/cursor/xcursorgen-1.0.2/mycursors> kdiff3 QFSFileEngine::open: No file name specified kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/klauncher kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/kded4 kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/kbuildsycoca4 kbuildsycoca4 running... kbuildsycoca4(16647) KConfigGroup::readXdgListEntry: List entry MimeType in "/opt/kde/share/applications/kde/k3b.desktop" is not compliant with XDG standard (missing trailing semicolon). kbuildsycoca4(16647) KConfigGroup::readXdgListEntry: List entry MimeType in "/opt/kde/share/applications/kde/filelight.desktop" is not compliant with XDG standard (missing trailing semicolon). <snip> Then hours later, I received the stderr messages: [05:15 archangel:~/tmp] # kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kconf_update kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/kbuildsycoca4 kbuildsycoca4 running... kbuildsycoca4 (21983)/kdecore (KService) KServicePrivate::init: The desktop entry file "/usr/share/applications/kde4/koffice.desktop" has Type= "Application" but no Exec line <snip> [09:05 archangel:~/tmp] # kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/kbuildsycoca4 kbuildsycoca4 running... kbuildsycoca4(25149)/kdecore (KService) KServicePrivate::init: The desktop entry file "/usr/share/applications/kde4/koffice.desktop" has Type= "Application" but no Exec line Now I'm not trying to run kdeinit4, that just what is coming back trough stderr and my prompt just happens to have a timestamp in it to help gage time. Is there anything I can do with kdiff3 to prevent the call to kdeinit4? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
