[arch-general] Core and Extra repos
by Baho Utot 02 Jan '09

02 Jan '09

Should a goal of ArchLinux be that the core and extra repos build without error. I am rebuilding all the packages from core and some selected packages from extra to take advantage of my processor an AMD Athlon processors, which I use exclusive. I have used makeworld from a make file and there are several PKGBUILDs that do not build or build incorrectly. Some of the packages fail because of gcc-4.3.2. I have since patched those. Step two is to run abs then rsync the abs updates into place and fire up my make file to build all the updates on my server box and place them into my custom repos, from cron on Sunday at the zero hour/minute. If some one would like to test/confirm this here is my Makefile: .PHONY: cleanstatus cleansrc cleanpkg cleanlog repos clean shutdown update REPNM := testing REPOS := /home/packages/$(REPNM) DBASE := $(REPNM).db.tar.gz PKGS := *.pkg.tar.gz all: repos cleanstatus cleansrc cleanpkg makeworld --clean --noconfirm --log --syncdeps --rmdeps $(REPOS) . grep fail build.log > failed.log || true cat failed.log || true grep error: makepkg.log || true date repos: repo-add $(REPOS)/$(DBASE) $(REPOS)/$(PKGS) sudo pacman -Syy clean: cleanstatus cleansrc cleanpkg cleanlog cleanstatus: rm build.log || true rm failed.log || true rm makepkg.log || true cleansrc: -find . -name src -type d -exec rm -rf '{}' \; cleanpkg: -find . -name pkg -type d -exec rm -rf '{}' \; cleanlog: -find . -name "*.log*" -exec rm '{}' \; makepkg: clean makepkg --clean --noconfirm --log --syncdeps --rmdeps shutdown: all sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now

Except that its not using a percentage scale but a dynamic one with absolute values. That means you should look a it to know your transfert speed.

[arch-general] [aur-general] the future of empathy, libtelepathy..
by stefan-husmann＠t-online.de 31 Dec '08

31 Dec '08

Hello, there has been a thread on aur-general in October 2008 about this issue, but the situation is not satisfying IMHO: We have a package of empathe in AUR _and_ in [testing].Both are or were orphaned, and the package in AUR was taken by a user and upgraded to version 2.25. I was chatting with him, and we reverted the change and uploaded a release 2.25 as empathy-devel. I think this should not happen again. What is the decision? Will empathe go to [extra] soon? If it is desired to keep the version in AUR, I suggest a developer should take it and keep it until it reaches [extra]. Or it should be removed. Thoughts? Regards Stefan

[arch-general] vnc on display:0
by sagar n 31 Dec '08

31 Dec '08

Hi, I want to connect to display:0 of a headless box remotely. I looked at x11vnc but it seems to be considerably slow compared to a normal vnc session or even XDMCP. Is there a way to run vncserver so that it connects to :0. I looked at xf4vnc-xvnc package, but the module libvnc.so fails to load with the new Xserver. (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libvnc.so dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libvnc.so: undefined symbol: NumCurrentSelections (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libvnc.so (II) UnloadModule: "vnc" (EE) Failed to load module "vnc" (loader failed, 7) Is it a known bug? In any case, is there an alternative way to connect to display:0 remotely? -- Sagar N. ( evilsense ) Dont look at my finger, look at the moon.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows of a good KDE applet for monitoring system activty, similar to the GNOME one. I'd really like to be able to see CPU load, memory usage and network activity. I am running vanilla KDE 4.1.3 (not kdemod). -- Thanks, Leonid Grinberg
