by Strika 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

Greetings to all, I found a way to control fan speed on FSC Amilo Pro 2030. I found some articles on Ubuntu forum, and I used some stuff from arch wiki. Should I put solution on forum or on wiki, maybe? I will anyway put it on my blog. I'm new in this way of contributing, so I'm asking this so I would now what to do with similar stuff in future. Thanks for answer, Nebojša Stričević

[arch-general] hwdetect with kernel upgrade?
by Shridhar Daithankar 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Hello, A long time ago, I posted that with kernel upgrade, the module insertion hangs till I hit enter. I ran hwdetect and updated the modules array, sans the standard acpi modules and it now works reliably every time. It can boot unattended now. AFAIK, the module-names and functionality is prone to changes from kernel to kernel. Should we automatically run hwdetect or advise users to check it in case of kernel upgrade? -- Shridhar

[arch-general] Lancelot in KDE 4.2
by Leonid Grinberg 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

Hi all, It appears that Lancelot (http://lancelot.fomentgroup.org/main) is broken in Arch. Running "lancelot" opens no menu. According to [1], this is caused by a lack of /usrshare/dbus-1/services/org.kde.lancelot.service However, I have that file in the directory. Moreover, I discovered that lancelot seems to be provided by two different packages. One of them is "kdeplasma-addons". The other is "lancelot". Both, I think, are maintained by Pierre. Reinstalling kdeplasma-addons doesn't seem to fix the problem, and installing lancelot without --force is impossible, since it tries to create files that are already there (this is despite the fact that lancelot and kdeplasma-addons are not marked as conflicting with each other). If you do include --force, it gives you missing library errors, but this seems like a bad approach anyway. Does anyone know what can be done about this? -- Leonid Grinberg [1] http://lancelot.fomentgroup.org/faq#menu-doesnt-open

[arch-general] State of bluetooth (bluez4 in Arch)
by Damjan Georgievski 29 Jan '09

29 Jan '09

What's the status about the bluez4 packages in Arch? Especially since the new KDE4 should be released soon. Also the new kdebluetooth4 is out [1], and it seems to require bluez4 and "the latest kdebase4-workspace package is needed (solid-bluetooth with bluez4 support)" I've continued to maintan my bluez4 packages here [2] but further work is needed by KDE and Gnome packagers to integrate this. Also .. does anyone know if obex-data-server and the bluez project obexd are interchangeable?

[arch-general] Garbled Text in KDE 4.2
by Leonid Grinberg 29 Jan '09

29 Jan '09

Hi everyone, I have recently upgraded to KDE 4.2 (vanilla, not kdemod) and have noticed an odd glitch. Every once in a while, with no pattern I can discern, the font in the title bar of a window will have garbled text in it [1]. When I took that screenshot and was about to save it, I noticed that the file chooser dialogue also had the glitch, as did the text in the dialogue [2]. The fonts are Sans Serif 10 bold. Does anyone know why this would happen? -- Leonid [1] http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/998/garbledzr9.png [2] http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/2577/garbled2sw8.png

[arch-general] kernel oops after recent upgrade
by Ryan Sims 29 Jan '09

29 Jan '09

Just upgraded to kernel26 2.6.28.2-1, and now I get an oops when trying to mount my ntfs drive at boot. After boot, I could manually mount everything else, but "mount /mnt/ntfs" hangs unkillable. Since /mnt/ntfs was first in fstab, nothing else mounted; I have since commented out that line and everything's fine. Attached relevant kernel dmesg...can anyone shed any light on this, or should I open a bug? -- Ryan W Sims

Have you tried playing with the GlyphCache settings to the driver? This used to be a solution to some similar troubles in the past. -----Original Message----- From: Leonid Grinberg <lgrinberg(a)gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2009 6:20 PM To: General Discusson about Arch Linux <arch-general(a)archlinux.org> Subject: Re: [arch-general] Garbled Text in KDE 4.2 > This seems to be a bug with the nvidia drivers. You might want to try 180.25. Hmm, it seems to only be in AUR? Do you know when the nvidia package in the repos will be updated? -- Leonid
