by Ivan Stankovic 16 Oct '08

16 Oct '08

Hi all, Could anyone try to reproduce the bug I'm seeing in inkscape on x86-64: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182047. It seems that they can't reproduce it, but I am able to trigger it both with the official package and the latest svn revision compiled locally. -- Ivan Stankovic, ivan.stankovic(a)fer.hr "Protect your digital freedom and privacy, eliminate DRM, learn more at http://www.defectivebydesign.org/what_is_drm"

[arch-ports] PPC: Ghostscript should be recompiled?
by Simone Basso 25 Jul '08

25 Jul '08

Hi, (I'm an user of the PPC port of ArchLinux) It seems that ghostscript should be recompiled. Infact, the following dynamic libraries are missing on my sys- tem: # ldd /usr/bin/gs|grep 'not found' libkrb5.so.22 => not found libhx509.so.1 => not found The installed version of these libraries is: /usr/lib/libkrb5.so.25.0.0 /usr/lib/libhx509.so.3.0.0 Bye

[arch-ports] pacbuild
by Anders Bergh 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

Hi everyone, I managed to set up pacbuild on my server for building PPC packages, so far I've only built a couple of them but it seems to work quite well. pacbuild has become kind of outdated so I had to fix a bunch of things, I'll see if I can send a patch to Jason later... build status list: http://repo.andersman.org/peach/ Anders

[arch-ports] G5?
by Steven DuBois 01 Jul '08

01 Jul '08

I installed Arch on my x86 Desktop and my macbook and i love it. I attempted to install Debian on my G5 PowerMac but had no luck (yaboot problems). What I would like to know is how well does Arch work on a G5, does anyone here use it on a regular basis, and what are the challenges to installing it. Eventually, I would like to stop using OS X.

[arch-ports] Any major non-64-bit s/w?
by David Rosenstrauch 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

Going to retire my old Arch server soon, and the new one (my current desktop) is a 64-bit machine (AMD Athlon 64). So I'm leaning towards taking the plunge and installing Arch x86-64 on it. Just wondering though if there's still any major packages that aren't available in 64bit that might make me want to rethink this decision. The only package I'm aware of that I use frequently and is not available in 64-bit is flashplugin. 1) Anyone aware of any other notable exceptions? 2) Is there any workaround to be able to use the 32-bit flashplugin with firefox? TIA, DR
