Suggestions for what I can check out are welcome. This happens both on stock kernel and my custom -ice kernel, am up-to-date (without testing for now, due to my openoffice variant not being done yet). You should try the testing version of netcfg instead: http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/testing/os/any/netcfg-2.5.0rc2-1-any.pkg.tar.gz This has two advantages: 1) wpa_supplicant is not only used for WPA, buy also for Open and WEP networks. This increases reliability drastically! (Note that using the deprecated iwconfig-method the connection will not be reestablished by the driver once it is lost - upstream linux-wireless developers recommend always using wpa_supplicant) 2) If you also install wpa_actiond (http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/testing/os/i686/wpa_actiond-1.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz, http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/testing/os/x86_64/wpa_actiond-1.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz), you get the net-auto-wireless mode, which not only automatically connects to the right wireless network whenever it is in range, but also deals with temporary connection losses gracefully and transparently (there is a minor bug where it sometimes won't get DHCP, but that can be worked around and is easy to fix for the next version (WPA_OPTS=-W)). It will also connect to a new network when the old one is out of range and the new one comes in range (assuming the networks are configured as profiles). I guess this will make your problem(s) go away. I don't know why James still hasn't released netcfg 2.5, but I guess he has little time lately. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Ignore this, I just understood how stupid that is. The point is not to

[arch-general] Laptop reboots instead of resume from suspend
I'm using an Inspiron 1720, GeForce 8600M GT, Arch i686. If I update to any kernel after 2.6.31.6-1 then the laptop reboots from suspend or hibernate. According to pm-suspend.log the suspend was fine and there are n problems in the other logs. It just reboots. Anyone else seen this, or any suggestions for a fix? -- Dave.

If you don't give up cap_dac_override, cdecord can read any local file. Thanks for the warning that is unsafe but how longer we discuss about doing the same with capabilities how more i like to stay with the gold old solution.-) See you, Attila

I've had the same problem with hibernation on my laptop, and solved by adding the option : /resume=/dev/SWAPPARTITION/ to the linux line in my grub.cfg (that would be kernel line in menu.lst if you're using the old grub). I didn't have problems with suspend though. Might also want to try adding the /`resume/` hook to your mkinitcpio.conf and rebuild your initrd. Andrea

So, are we going to switch to cdrtools? Best regards, Luís Moreira.
[arch-general] Little problems with arch
I have a little dell 10 with archlinux. Unfortunately the audio and 3d are not really working, I tried hard some time ago but with no luck, anyway other problems are more annoying. - time getting crazy Every time I reboot this little machine the date is set somehow randomly. Any idea of what could that be? Maybe the battery that should keep it up is not working (I think is an OS issue though)?? - screensaver I use xfce but I installed quite a lot of stuff from gnome, but I never asked for the stupid gnome-screensaver to start at every boot, and I don't find how to disable it. My daemons are only those: --8---cut here---start-8--- DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond acpid sshd hal bluetooth alsa rsyncd cpufreqd wicd cups fam) --8---cut here---end---8--- - network devices with random name I had some troubles with the wireless card but then it worked smoothly with the proprietary broadcom-wl driver, the only problems is that sometimes eth0 = lan, eth1 = wireless and sometimes is the opposite and I don't understand why. This also happens with normal reboots. - no packages to update This is quite strange, sometimes I do a pacman -Suy and I loop up to date, but if I change the first mirror just editing mirrorlist I'm not up to date anymore and it starts updating. What does that mean? Not all the mirrors are on sync? Could it be related somehow to my problem with the date (shouldn't be though)?

Hi Andrea,
1) time issue
check your /etc/rc.conf and make sure you have
HARDWARECLOCK=localtime
and the correct TIMEZONE setting.
Also, if that is already ok, try deleting //var/lib/hwclock/adjtime/ ,
this fixed it for me.
2) about gnome-screensaver, I don't really know I've never had such
problems with it, I'd try running /gnome-screensaver-preferences/ and
disabling it from there though.
3) network intefaces issue
if that keeps up you could try adding udev rules for your devices:
create a new rules file, e.g. //etc/udev/rules.d/66-nic.rules/ , a
possible set of rules would look like
KERNEL==eth*, SYSFS{address}==aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff, NAME=eth0
KERNEL==eth*, SYSFS{address}==ff:ee:dd:cc:bb:aa, NAME=eth1
where the address fields should match that of your network intefaces
(you can use /ifconfig /to narrow that down).
That should pretty much do the trick.
4) mirrors
Yes, some mirrors may be out of sync, take a look at the Mirror Status
https://www.archlinux.de/?page=MirrorStatus ;-)

Suggestions for what I can check out are welcome. This happens both on stock kernel and my custom -ice kernel, am up-to-date (without testing for now, due to my openoffice variant not being done yet). You should try the testing version of netcfg instead: http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/testing/os/any/netcfg-2.5.0rc2-1-any.pkg.tar.gz This has two advantages: 1) wpa_supplicant is not only used for WPA, buy also for Open and WEP networks. This increases reliability drastically! (Note that using the deprecated iwconfig-method the connection will not be reestablished by the driver once it is lost - upstream linux-wireless developers recommend always using wpa_supplicant) 2) If you also install wpa_actiond (http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/testing/os/i686/wpa_actiond-1.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz, http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/testing/os/x86_64/wpa_actiond-1.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz), you get the net-auto-wireless mode, which not only automatically connects to the right wireless network whenever it is in range, but also deals with temporary connection losses gracefully and transparently (there is a minor bug where it sometimes won't get DHCP, but that can be worked around and is easy to fix for the next version (WPA_OPTS=-W)). It will also connect to a new network when the old one is out of range and the new one comes in range (assuming the networks are configured as profiles). I guess this will make your problem(s) go away. I don't know why James still hasn't released netcfg 2.5, but I guess he has little time lately. Thanks, it does seem to work (just one try so far). I've seen the netcfg testing thread in the forums, is that the authoritative place to go for info on this latest version, since the wiki doesn't seem updated for it yet (which of course makes perfect sense).

My time with wodim has transpired over Slackware, Debian, and now Arch. I don't know today if cdrecord would still cause me those errors or not but for me, the drkit has been doing me just fine. As you do not give any facts, this is obviously nonsense. I know of not a single case where cdrecord fails but wodim succeeds. Wodim is nothing than an onl version of cdrecord with bugs added by it't creators that never have been in the original. If you would give evidence, it would be easy to prove that your alleged problem is not related to cdrecord.
