[arch-general] Problem with loading modules in 2.6.27
by Shridhar Daithankar 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Hello, I have noticed a strange pause after either loading modules or loading standard ACPI modules. It started happening after I upgraded to 2.6.27. When I hit enter, the boot continues normally. It does not happen everytime but 1 in 3 boots, it "hangs". My rc.conf is configured to load following modules forcedeth ath_hal ath_pci wlan snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep snd-page- alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel soundcore processor thermal cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_powersave powernow-k8 k8temp Standard ACPI modules are "ac battery button fan processor thermal", according to /etc/rc.sysinit. These two arrays have duplicates but modprobe should handle that right? Any help in debugging this problem is appreciated. -- Shridhar

I've tested the public part of the website and found no breakage, good job! I just wanted to point the fact that archlinuxfr.org, where I was an admin, won't be updated anymore (source : http://forums.archlinuxfr.org/viewtopic.php?id=1818) so it can be removed from this page : http://pub.playground.archlinux.ca/moreforums/. It means there's only one french community website now (archlinux.fr). That should make it easier for new french Archers to find their way. -- catwell

[arch-general] mailman

Hey guys...I'm trying to setup a mailing list on the new arch server I got, but I've been having a lot of trouble. Finally, I got to here: http://lists.twilightlair.net/mailman/listinfo/arch-games but I don't think it's able to send/receive mails, and I really don't know how to proceed. Has anyone here setup mailing lists before give us a bit of a hand?

[arch-general] Missing Icons after Upgrade
by Slash 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

Comrades, With the recent gconf/gtk/etc update, all of my GTK2 apps do not have icons- With some exceptions. In pidgin, it shows the "Quit", "Add", and "Preference" icons. In Homebank, it shows the "Save" and "Open" icons. Other programs, like Sonata, do not run: $ sonata Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/sonata", line 48, in <module> app = main.Base() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sonata/main.py", line 1057, in __init__ self.albumpb = gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file_at_size(self.find_path('sonata-album.png'), self.LIB_COVER_SIZE, self.LIB_COVER_SIZE) glib.GError: Unrecognized image file format gqview cannot view any images, although some of it's own icons are visible. Non-GTK2 apps, like feh can view all images fine. It seems like the only icons displayed are "stock" GTK2 icons. Anything else is unreadable to gtk2 / glib2 / gdk-pixbuf / something. At least one other person has this problem and they posted a screenshot on the forums. I also wrote a bit more information about my troubleshooting, as well: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=438688 Thanks, Slashbunny

[arch-general] Sunplus (Philips) webcam problem
by Sergey Manucharian 26 Oct '08

26 Oct '08

Hello, After the recent system update my webcam: 04fc:0561 Sunplus Technology Co., Ltd Flexcam 100 stopped working properly. The driver "gspca_spca561" is loaded automatically, but works incorrectly, when trying to use "gspca_sunplus" the camera is not recognized. Unfortunately I did not pay attention to the driver used before I've updated to 2.6.27... Thanks for ideas. Sergey.

[arch-general] font changes after system upgrade
by Scott Weisman 26 Oct '08

26 Oct '08

Hello, I recently upgraded my system and the fonts are now being rendered differently. They looked great before but are now blurry. I don't think it's because anti-aliased fonts are enabled before whereas before they weren't, because they were enabled before and looked great. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, is there some way to change the font rendering configuration and have them re-rendered on the fly without restarting X? Thanks, Scott
