[arch-general] regarding kernel 2.6.23.11
by Hussam Al-Tayeb 17 Dec '07

There seems to be an issue with the alsa snapshot used in the kernel 2.6.23.11 package. It's reported here http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8948 For me, it breaks gstreamer. I opted to post here so people who are on testing don't update their kernel.

[arch-general] Kiosktool, missing buttons.
by Jorge Leon 16 Dec '07

Hello all, I just installed "kiosktool" from extra but all the buttons (back, next, help, etc) are missing. The menus do appear, but no buttons, so the program is useless. This is wheather I start it as a user or as root. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. Jorge.

[arch-general] Where is libdownload?
by Karolina Lindqvist 15 Dec '07

15 Dec '07

I am trying to compile archlinux from source, but I got stuck on pacman, since it depends on libdownload, and I just can't find libdownload source anywhere on the net, since the source location http://phraktured.net/libdownload/ appears to be permanently terminated. Where can I find the sources? Karolina

[arch-general] Bug Day
by Roman Kyrylych 15 Dec '07

15 Dec '07

A Bug Day is scheduled on Saturday, 15th of December. The reason for this is to reduce the amount of old reports and feature requests. We will clear outdated reports, fix/implement those that already have patches provided or are trivial to fix/implement, discuss the pros & cons of implementing some feature requests, look at reports assigned to inactive/resigned devs, close/move reports for packages moved to Community/Unsupported. Join us at #archlinux-bugs channel on irc.freenode.net during 15th of December. As we live in different timezones not all devs will be available at the same time, but feel free to report your issues to any dev available online. Also please check your mailboxes that may contain notifications about comments made by devs and other users. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

[arch-general] How to report bugs
by Karolina Lindqvist 15 Dec '07

15 Dec '07

When rebuilding from source, I find build problems here and there. I tried the http://bugs.archlinux.org/ web-page, but all I can do is looking at bug reports, but I find no way to report a new bug. How is it done? Or maybe build problems should not be reported as bugs, but in some other way? Karolina

[arch-general] missing vbox_build_module
by richard terry 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

I wonder if anyone has anyidea about this, I posted previously and got no reply. May laptop is 1.8 celeron + ati, I upgraded system > no X, tried reconfiguring X to no avail (X wouldn't boot at all, just seemed to lock up). I downgraded back to kernel26-2.6.23.8-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz, and kde loaded fine, but virtualbox wouldn't load (no front-end gui), no error logs generated, the command just hangs in the terminal. looked everywhere for the /usr/bin/vbox_build_module to rebuild the kernel module but dosn't seem to exist on the computer. Did an updatedb etc first to try and find it. Checked out the forum and of course all the posts mention to use that file. doing a pacman -Ql <package name> also it seems the file needed to rebuild the kernel module is not in any of them. Any Idea's appreciated. Richard
