[arch-general] Encrypted swap and suspend-to-disk
by Felix Leckow 01 Dec '07

01 Dec '07

Hi, I just did a fresh Arch install with encrypted /, /home, and swap partitions, following the LUKS Encrypted Root[1] how-to in the wiki. I have trouble getting suspend-to-disk (using uswsusp[2] from AUR) to work: creating the suspend image works fine, but I can't resume for the simple reason that the encrypted swap that contains the image gets unlocked *after* suspend tries (and fails) to read from it. Is there any way to get this to work properly? Should I file a bug report, and if so against which package?

[arch-general] Mailing list rename
by Aaron Griffin 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Hey guys, You may have noticed a new address up there in the From line (unless you got this via the announce list) The main mailing list has been renamed, from "arch" to "arch-general", and additionally "tur-users" has been renamed to "aur-general". The reason? The naming was unclear, especially on the tur-users list. So, please try to use this address when posting to the list (the old address will work fine for now, but I can't predict how long). Additionally, I have kept archive symlinks so that the following two are the same: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/ http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch/ Sorry for all of you that have to update your mail filter rules, but it's better this way - I promise 8) Thanks, Aaron

[arch-general] Old version of gnome-system-tools in [unstable]
by Hugo Doria 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Hi, There is a very old version of gnome-system-tools (and system-tools-backends) package in [unstable]. A newer one is already available in [community]. Would it not be better to remove the older one? What would be the procedure to do that? I tried to contact the packager but i got no response so far. Thanks. -- []'s Hugo Doria http://hdoria.archlinux-br.org GNU/Linux user #359340 - http://counter.li.org

[arch-general] Removing ssmtp and nbsmtp
by Aaron Griffin 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Just a quick question for all of you guys. Does anyone use ssmtp or nbsmtp? They are both in extra, along with msmtp, and it seems like quite a lot of duplication. So based on developer usage, we're most likely going to boot ssmtp and nbsmtp. Does anyone have a problem with that? They *will* be moved to the AUR and can be move to community if any TU wants them. Opinions?
