From graeme_c_burton at yahoo.co.uk Tue Mar 6 12:17:35 2007 From: graeme_c_burton at yahoo.co.uk (graeme burton) Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2007 17:17:35 +0000 (GMT) Subject: [arch-ports] A few PPC queries Message-ID: <304674.94477.qm@web23203.mail.ird.yahoo.com> Hi All, Just installed Arch onto my Mac after using the distro on x86 and being very impressed by it. I hope you can help me sort out a few problems. It seemed very odd that the 2006-08-28_archppc-base.iso image doesn't contain a kernel to install. However, I chrooted and did a pacman update and all went well. I got the following error when trying to install xfce4-goodies checking package integrity... done. loading package data... done. checking for file conflicts... error: the following file conflicts were found: xfce4-showdesktop-plugin: /opt/xfce4/lib/xfce4/panel-plugins/libshowdesktop.so: exists in filesystem xfce4-windowlist-plugin: /opt/xfce4/lib/xfce4/panel-plugins/libwindowlist.so: exists in filesystem However, xarchiver-0.4.6-2 and xfce4-dev-tools-4.4.0-1 installed OK. Also, opera crashes after about 5 seconds as follows ERROR: ld.so: object 'libjvm.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. ERROR: ld.so: object 'libawt.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. Segmentation fault If there's anything I can do to help on this distro, I'd be happy to do what I can.

You could potentially use the one on the cd though and make a new initrd.

In fact it "should" run fine but all of us have the same problems. I personally don't think it's the missing Java runtime environment, on i686 it works just as well even without. Probably something in Archppc is too up to date for Opera to run with. Opera is still built with gcc 2.95 for example... Please consider using another browser, Opera is no priority at all for us for it is binary and we even might remove it after having all these troubles. Side question, do you run it on KDE? I would strongly suggest Seamonkey or Kazehakase, where the latter is a very lightweigth gtk2 based browser around Gecko. It might not at all be as fast as Opera but should eat not as much ressources as Firefox and co. > If there's anything I can do to help on this distro, > I'd be happy to do what I can. > Sure, package maintainance of packages in extra is always a problem. We need help there.

Cheers, Alex _______________________________________________ arch-ports mailing list arch-ports at archlinux.org http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch-ports Thanks very much for the feedback. The point I was making about the kernel was there is no kernel package on the cd, even though the installer gives the option to install one from cd (unless I'm missing something). I also run gentoo stable and there's no problem with opera on that, but as you said, Arch does have more up to date packages by default. I don't run KDE at all if possible. I did try Kazehakase, but wasn't particularly impressed although I may give it another go. I've never got round to trying Seamonkey, so downloading right now. I'll take a closer look at the extras repo and the packages and see if I can help out. I must admit., I'd like to see Graveman in there for a start. --------------------------------- New Yahoo!
