[arch-general] weird thing with X and nvidia driver
Hi, I run Arch linux with KDE 4.2 on a machine with a Geforce 6200 LE card. But recently I have been experiencing some weird things. At the begining I was running KDE 4.2.0 with a nvidia-180.22 driver and the X process consumes lots of memory graduately, even to 200+ MB some times. Then I updated to KDE4.2.1 and the problem disappeared. But today, after I update the video driver to nvidia-180.29 it is here again. I have no idea which component cause it. KDE, nvidia dirver or xorg? Another weird thing is with the nvidia driver. Before updating to 188.29, glxgear had about 1060 FPS. After update and I restarted the KDE. Then glxgear told me the nvidia api dismatch, that is, the kernel module is still 180.22 but other parts of the driver is 180.29, and it has 1300+ FPS, then I remove the old module and modprobe the new one so it runs 180.29 now, but it is 1060FPS again. There's no improvement over 180.22! What's the problem?

Re: [arch-general] xinput in ArchLinux
Xinput isnt the one available here: ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/utilities/ The source is available here now, updated: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/app/ last release 15th of Jan 2009. I dont know how useful it is though. I wan't aware that there was an old xinput too. So whatever was true about the old xinput, it's probably not true anymore. I've learned about xinput from the http://planet.freedesktop.org agregator, latest entry is from Peter Hutterer (http://who-t.blogspot.com/2009/01/tip-of-day-wheel-emulation.html). So, basically, the xinput utility is the only way to query the X servers input devices, list and change their properties. It also seems to be used for the MPX functionallity (slowly entering in the upstream xorg). -- damjan

That seems a little complex and confusing as now we need to add email capabilities to website code, and then give that sender permission to post on the announce list. Naw, I prefer the more unixy way of just use the output of ThingA, pump it through ThingB - in this case, and RSS feed through rss2email. And now that I look at it, it SHOULD be converting HTML to plain text. Dusty, are we sending html content as text/plain content in these feeds? That could cause the issue here

[arch-general] Can't Connect to localhost/127.0.0.1 until I'm connected to a network
Hello, When I boot my computer the connection to the wifi network takes a while, until then I can't connect to localhost. So I can't use mpd for example, I musst either turn off my wifi card or wait until I'm connected. This is quite annoying, is there a way to solve that problem or at least get a better diagnosis for solving it on my own? Thomas

The lo interface is brought up by rc.sysinit right after it processes udev events. Do you, by chance, still have lo in your rc.conf INTERFACES array?

Does /etc/hosts have localhost in there? At each step of the process, try running ifconfig lo to check what's going on with lo at that point.

Read this wikipage: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IPv6_-_Disabling_the_Module I guess adding: ::1 localhost.localdomain localhost in /etc/hosts might solve it too. Not sure why you are defaulting to ipv6 though... -geirr
