[arch-ports] [x86_64] Some problems

[Arnaud Fortier]

Now that the ftp install works, here is a brief review of problems I've 
noticed and their possible solutions :

_*First*_ : Xorg ... pacman -S xorg xorg-fonts-75dpi xorg-fonts-100dpi 
is better done than on arch32 there is less pkg missing anyway it still 
lacks :
xterm
xf86-input-mouse and xf86-input-keyboard ( I wish to have a working 
computer with no mouse / keyboard :| )

_Second_ : nvidia:
pacman -S nvidia
nvidia: not found in sync db
hum ...

wget ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/extra/os/x86_64/nvidia-1.0.8178-16.1.pkg.tar.gz' then 'pacman -A nvidia-1.0.8178-16.1.pkg.tar.gz

That will do the trick except that after you have to live with :

/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 is empty, not checked.

/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libnvidia-cfg.so.1 is empty, not checked.

/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1.0.8178 is empty, not checked.

/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1 is empty, not checked.

/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1 is empty, not checked.

/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libnvidia-cfg.so is empty, not checked.

/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.8178 is empty, not checked.

/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.8178 is empty, not checked.

/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libnvidia-cfg.so.1.0.8178 is empty, not checked.

/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libGL.so is empty, not checked.

/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 is empty, not checked.

/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1.0.8178 is empty, not checked.


In EACH pacman command : /
It's also weird that the official pkg ( 
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/1.0-8762/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8762-pkg2.run) 
don't work at all, you can "modprobe nvidia" but then X xomplain that it 
can't loads the nvidia module ...

_*Third*_ : the WM/DM ( hopefully I use fluxbox ... )

 pacman -S kde

:: group kde:

    arts gwenview kde-common kdeaccessibility kdeaddons kdeadmin kdeartwork kdebase

_Fourth_ : other programms :

pacman -Ss openoffice

community/openoffice-pl 2.0.2-1

    OpenOffice polish language files


ntp misses a dependancies maybe because it should be installed : libelf

Point third and fourth (and nvidia driver install) are easely 
correctable => the extra db is just wrecked

I think those "major" issues should be corrected

Thanks
