[arch-general] libgnomekbd 2.31.5-1

2010-08-10 Thread ALAUX, Guillaume
Hi everyone,

I am experiencing this
bughttps://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618727 in libgnomekbd
that makes gnome-settings-daemon crash gnome with a segfault here. It is
fixedhttp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libgnomekbd/2.31/libgnomekbd-2.31.5.newsin
the latest libgnomekbd
2.31.5 http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libgnomekbd/2.31/.
Unfortunately we only have version 2.30.2-1 in
extrahttp://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=libgnomekbd
.

I've had a look into testing repo but can't find any newer AL version (maybe
one I'm forgetting?). Here is the PKGBUILD from extra with updated uri and
sum.

signoff i686. I have only been testing for like 10 minutes but
gnome-settings-daemon doesn't make gnome crash anymore ; just this error
message I will have to figure out:

** (gnome-settings-daemon:8347): WARNING **: Failed to acquire

Gnome libs/apps are typically updated all-at-once rather than
separately. In this case, latest stable gnome is 2.30 (next is 2.32).
The 2.31 series is sort of like beta/RC for 2.32. You will not find them
in [testing] or any of the base repos, only in [gnome-unstable] when JGC
decides its time.

I suggest using the correct error code (503) which prevents bots from
indexing the error page:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/error/.*$
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^127\.0\.0\.1$
Header always set Retry-After 3600
RewriteRule .* - [R=503]
ErrorDocument 503 same as above

This only allows the access to /error/ (if not needed just remove the
line) or from the IP (multiple IPs - multiple lines or matching regexps)

[arch-general] [python-scipy] in community-testing WAS scipy issue

2010-08-10 Thread Angel Velásquez
Hi,

I've uploaded a new release of python-scipy with this change applied
(read above Fabrizio's e-mail).

I did some tests, but I don't know certainly if this change will break
other stuff...

I would like to have some feedback from SciPy users.

Thanks


-- Forwarded message --
From: Fabrizio Castellano caste...@phys.ethz.ch

Subject: scipy issue
To: an...@archlinux.com.ve



Hello Angel

I'm Fabrizio, a happy user of the python-scipy package on x86_64 platform,
anyway today I noticed a problem.

In scipy-0.8.0/scipy/special/cephes/mconf.h, line 111 there is:

#define UNK 1

this should set the arithmetic used by scipy.special to unknown.
In fact in the file scipy-0.8.0/scipy/special/cephes/airy.c there is:

#ifdef UNK
#define MAXAIRY 25.77
#endif
#ifdef DEC
#define MAXAIRY 25.77
#endif
#ifdef IBMPC
#define MAXAIRY 103.892
#endif
#ifdef MIEEE
#define MAXAIRY 103.892
#endif

this limits evaluation of Airy functions to 25.77 for UNK arithmetic,
while leaving 103.892
for the IBMPC arithmetic (the one used in x86 processors I think).

I think they do this because they don't want to introduce
architecture-specific code, but
this is quite a limitation in the use of the airy function in scipy, and
probably other
things in scipy suffer from this UNK too.

I manually recompiled scipy changing the #define UNK into #define IBMPC
and it works.

I think the #define UNK should be changed to a #define IBMPC by default in
the arch repository.
This would make the arch package match better with the x86 architectures.
What do you think?

Best
Fabrizio Castellano

To: The Linux Community

I am a big fan of Linux. In fact, I am running Fedora 11 x86_64 64-bit 
Linux on my home multimedia desktop tower system. In order to run 
multiple other Linux distributions at the same time without rebooting my 
home personal computer, I am using the open source Xen Type 1 
hypervisor/virtualization solution.


You may check out my work and in-depth technical details on VGA 
Pass-through for add-on PCI-Express x16 graphics card to Xen-based 
Windows XP Home Edition 32-bit guest operating system/HVM domU running 
inside my Fedora 11 64-bit host operating system at the xen-devel (Xen 
developers) mailing list at the following internet links from July to 
November 2009.

Besides running Fedora 11 64-bit Linux as my host operating system (my 
heavily customized Xen Paravirt-Operations Domain 0 or Parent Partition 
in Windows Server 2008 speak with various pv-ops Dom0-patched 
self-compiled kernels), I am also running other Linux distributions like 
Fedora 12 i386 32-bit Linux, FreeBSD amd64 UNIX, openSolaris 64-bit 
UNIX, openSUSE 11.2 Linux, NPACI Rocks HPC Cluster, Slackware64 13.0 
64-bit Linux, and Ubuntu 9.10 Linux, either as para-virtualized (PV), or 
fully virtualized guest operating systems/domU. Non-*NIX operating 
systems like Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 have to be run as 
Hardware Virtual Machines (HVM) under a Xen pv-ops Dom0 Linux operating 
system.

This is my secondary IT blog.

My primary IT blog is http://teo-en-ming-aka-zhang-enming.blogspot.com/

Since Google Inc. announced the release of the open source 32-bit 
Chromium OS (which is actually a stripped down Ubuntu 9.10-based Linux 
operating system) for netbooks last year, I have made an un-official 
port of chromiumos to the x86_64 64-bit architecture, which I called 
ChromiumOS64 myself. In the later stages of development, I have added 
Jeremy Fitzhardinge's Xen paravirt-ops Dom0 capability to my un-official 
ChromiumOS64 project (ChromiumOS64-Xen). My ChromiumOS64 and 
ChromiumOS64-Xen projects are listed at the official Xen.org website.

I am also enthusiastic about customizing and compiling my own Linux kernels.

To add basic security to my home personal Linux multimedia computer, I 
have installed the open source Snort Network Intrusion Detection System 
(NIDS) and the open source OSSEC Host Intrusion Detection System (HIDS). 
A basic iptables script is also in force. I am also running s...@home 
(BOINC client) on my Linux PC to contribute to the search for 
extraterrestrials.


And not forgetting that I have compiled Linux from Scratch (LFS) 6.5 
from scratch following the LFS 6.5 Handbook and installed the PacMan 
Package Manager, essentially making it an ArchLinux Linux distribution.


I hope that the above information that I have provided may be useful to you.

[arch-general] parallel printer set up status

2010-08-10 Thread Jude DaShiell
I found out for the missing driver to install ghostscript and now the 
driver isn't missing anymore.  I plan to put cupsd in the daemons line of 
rc.conf probably at its end and that should prevent errors from popping up 
and the inability for cupsd to come up automatically on boot up.

	Whew - I have finally worked out the zenity install routine and I like it. I 
have also added the -n | --notext option that suppresses output of the list of 
search packages to the console. It is primarily for use with the -z | --zenity 
switch to allow the program to be run as a graphical program. Try it:


srch2list.sh srchterm (or saved filename) -z -n

and this will provide a graphical list with a checkbox for each package. You can 
select any number of packages you would like to install. Clicking 'Cancel' 
exits. Clicking 'OK' will bring up a confirmation dialog with the selected 
packages so the user can confirm the install --or-- modify the selection. 
Clicking 'Cancel' will again exit. Clicking 'OK' here will call pacman -Sy list 
of packages or will try 'sudo pacman' if run by other than root.


The new option list is:

  Options:

NOTE: options can be given in any order, flags must be separate: '-d -z' 
NOT '-dz'


-c | --color   disable the use of an accent color for pkgnames.
-d | --double  option controls single/double spaced output.
-h | --helpdisplay this help message.
-i | --installed   show only installed packages.
-n | --notext  don't output list to console (use with -z).
-u | --uninstalled show only uninstalled packages.
-w | --write filename  write search results to 'filename'.
-z | --zenity  provide graphical output using 'zenity --list' 
(requires zenity)


  Two additional testing options (no effect on script):

-v | --verbose dump select variables to the screen.
-a | --array   dump the array contents to the screen (requires -v 
option)


CHANGELOG: version 0.0.5

  - Added to -n | --notext switch to suppress output of the list to the console
  - Added the ability to (1) select packages in the zenity list for install
  - Added confirm install dialog that allows modification and confirmation of 
packages to install with pacman -Sy


TODO:

  - Perhaps add an initial searchterm or filename zenity dialog so this script 
can simply be run from a launcher on your desktop.


	Let me know if this is something that should be added to AUR or somewhere for 
people to find long after this email thread has died.


Enjoy :p
