[arch-general] Small laptops running archy?
by Maurício 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

Hi, Do you had any experience using darcs on these small Eee-like notebooks? Is there someone I should avoid? Do you think those which come with Linux instaled are always sure to run any Linux distro? Thanks, Maurício

[arch-general] Surviving without X
by Maurício 15 Apr '09

15 Apr '09

Hi, Do you think it's possible to live without X, replacing framebuffer for it, using packages available for arch? I imagine something like DirectFB or similar, using it when text is not enough. I think I could do with a browser and a pdf viewer, but I wasn't able to find a direction to follow to get that. Has any of you tried it already? Thanks, Maurício

Anyone been able to build knetworkmanager since the upgrade of networkmanager to v0.7? It doesn't seem to build for me anymore: ...

[arch-general] Problems rebuilding kernel with alsa 1.0.19
by David Rosenstrauch 14 Apr '09

14 Apr '09

My sound module's (snd-hda-intel) been broken in ALSA for a while now. Was working around the problem by keeping myself on kernel 2.6.27, but finally gave that up this week (for various reasons) and now I'm without sound again. Tried using OSS instead, but that didn't work either (no headphone support for my codec), so I'm now trying to rebuild the kernel with ALSA 1.0.19 support, since that version of ALSA is supposed to fix the problem. (The current kernel apparently uses version 1.0.18a.) Not having much luck though. I followed instructions on the ALSA wiki build page on how to copy the ALSA source onto the kernel source before building, but the build is failing when it hits the sound modules: ... CC [M] sound/core/sound_oss.o CC [M] sound/core/info_oss.o CC [M] sound/core/vmaster.o CC [M] sound/core/jack.o sound/core/jack.c:31: error: ‘SW_VIDEOOUT_INSERT’ undeclared here (not in a function) make[2]: *** [sound/core/jack.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [sound/core] Error 2 make: *** [sound] Error 2 ==> ERROR: Build Failed. Aborting... Anyone have any idea what the problem might be and/or how to work around the problem? TIA, DR

[arch-general] latest xorg- significant slowdown
by Jonathan Brown 14 Apr '09

14 Apr '09

Hi all Upon updating to the latest xorg/nvidia (Xfce), and rebooting, X seems to take about 4 times as long to start, and programs seem to take about 2-3 times as long to start up. Anyone else having similar issues? Not really sure how to run any metrics on this, but X is now significantly slower, including noticeable delays in switching between apps/windows.. I can even tell that weechat in urxvt is slower. -Jon

[arch-general] xf86-video-intel very slow
by Jaime Oyarzun Knittel 14 Apr '09

14 Apr '09

Hi! I have been experiencing slowdowns with the (new) xf86-video-intel driver (everything else updated). I had to move to xf86-video-intel-legacy driver because with this one I can play 1080p movies and enable desktop effects in KDE and play flash games and videos... which I couldn't with the newest driver. So xf86-video-intel is still buggy, I own a Thinkpad x61 with an Intel x3100 video card. How can I help in seeing what is the problem (logfiles, recompile with debug options, etc.)? Thank you very much! -- Jaime Oyarzun Knittel http://www.archlinux.cl/

I remember > fonts being terribly ugly way back when without this package. Actually I would recommend that ttf-ms-fonts be made a depends, or at least an optdepends of wine. The text in some windows programs is unreadable without it.

[arch-general] Wifi not working after kernel upgrade to 2.6.29
by Ondřej Kučera 13 Apr '09

13 Apr '09

Hi, I've just upgraded kernel to 2.6.29.1-3 and since then I can't connect to my wireless network. netcfg times out and says "Wireless association failed". The driver is iwl3945, here is the profile's content: CONNECTION="wireless" INTERFACE=wlan0 SCAN="no" SECURITY="wpa" ESSID="foo" KEY="foobar" IP="dhcp" TIMEOUT=20 QUIRKS=(preessid wpaessid) If I correctly understand how it all works, wpa_supplicant is run and then "wpa_cli status" is saying "wpa_state=SCANNING" for the whole 20 seconds until netcfg gives up. Does anybody have similar problems or knows a solution? Perhaps also relevant lines from /var/log/everything.log: Apr 10 00:00:33 hermione kernel: iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 Apr 10 00:00:33 hermione kernel: Registered led device: iwl-phy0:radio Apr 10 00:00:33 hermione kernel: Registered led device: iwl-phy0:assoc Apr 10 00:00:33 hermione kernel: Registered led device: iwl-phy0:RX Apr 10 00:00:33 hermione kernel: Registered led device: iwl-phy0:TX Apr 10 00:00:33 hermione kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready Apr 10 00:00:55 hermione kernel: iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A disabled Ondřej -- Cheers, Ondřej Kučera

[arch-general] Nautilus upgrade runs CPU at 100%
by Will Siddall 12 Apr '09

12 Apr '09

Hey everyone, I already sent a message about this earlier but no one replied. So, I'm giving this another try. My last message, I didn't know what exactly was going on, but I knew it happened since the last Gnome upgrade to 2.26. After searching around, it starts at the gnome-session call when it tries to load Nautilus. So, I downgraded nautilus back 2.24.2 and everything goes back to normal. Now that I've narrowed it down to Nautilus, can someone tell me what's going on so I know what to look forward to at the next nautilus upgrade, or what I should check so I can get nautilus back to 2.26. Thanks, Will
