[arch-general] Weird upgrade problem ??
by Niels Rasmussen 15 Nov '08

15 Nov '08

Hi all I've just installed Arch linux again after 9 month with Ubuntu and several other distros (yeah, they all come back! :-)) I've followed "The Beginners Guide" and did everything as described. Anyway, I've got the system up and running, and now writing in X (openbox) from opera Mail. I've tried to install the nvidia-71xx driver because I know it supports my VideoCard Geforce 6600GT. But apparently it doesn't work, so I uninstalled it, reinstalled libgl, did a depmod -a and rebooted. Now in X I can install programs just fine with pacman but pacman -Syu results in some strange errors I havn't seen before. Here goes: bash-3.2# pacman -Syu :: Synchronizing package databases... core is up to date extra 412,9K 1535,6K/s 00:00:00 [########################################################] 100% community is up to date :: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts...

by kludge 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

hola, i'm currently rebuilding bitlbee to version 1.2.3 with a modified PKGBUILD from abs. the package in [extra] is only at version 1.0.4. it was last update two months ago today; that's six days *after* the current version was released upstream! for a while, there was no listed maintainer. then it was simo. now it's jeff mickey. i don't know how to find jeff, and over on the forum, it was suggested i post here. so... who's maintaining bitlbee, and you wanna roll up an updated package? many thanks! yrs, kludge

[arch-general] /arch/setup -> grub '#-*' marker in menu.lst
by Dieter Plaetinck 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Hi, seen in http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=installer.git;a=blob_plain;f=setup;hb=HEAD : # remove default entries by truncating file at our little tag (#-*) sed -i -e '/#-\*/q' Shouldn't it be: sed -i -e '/#-\*/q' $grubmenu instead of just: sed -i -e '/#-\*/q' ? ( $grubmenu == $DESTDIR/boot/grub/menu.lst ) Also, where does the '#-*' tag come from? I can't find any reference to this (no other occurrences in install script). Thanks, Dieter

[arch-general] Problems with compiling packages
by Baho Utot 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

I have installed Arch Linux on an old machine that has an AMD 800 slot A processor. I am trying to rebuild all of the core packages using makeworld. The CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS are set for an athlon. I have also found that some of the core packages fail to build even with the default make flags. Maybe it is a gcc 4.3.2 issue. What is the best way to report the errors or get help resolving the failures. I have also found that some of the source tarballs are not available at the URL given in the PKGBUILD file. I have found them in other mirrors ie gentoo or debian etc. Should I report these as out of date ?
