[arch-general] Building local repo - eliminating dups - why some new x86_64?
Listmates,
I'm building a local repo for boxes to update via the lan instead of
redownloading. I have my repo on my local server as:
arch/
x86/
x86_64/
I have moved all files for my two x86_64 boxes to the arch/x86_64 dir
and I
am filtering with a script to eliminate dups by moving the lesser numbered
packages to arch/x86_64/oldpkgs. Testing the script before the actual move of
packages, I ran across this anomaly in some filenames: (script output) [1]
ttf-isabella-1.003-3.pkg.tar.gz -> oldpkgs
ttf-isabella-1.003-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
tunepimp-0.5.3-5.pkg.tar.gz -> oldpkgs
tunepimp-0.5.3-6-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
tzdata-2009f-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz -> oldpkgs
tzdata-2009g-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
unrar-3.8.5-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz -> oldpkgs
unrar-3.9.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
As shown above, there are multiple packages where the earlier version
did
*not* contain the x86_64 designation where the current package now does. Are
these the same packages? If so why did earlier packages not have the x86_64
and when was the architecture added? Are all packages now going to have the
architecture specified?
Footnotes:
[1] Filtering done by a simple look ahead and the output created as follows:
PKGFILES=( $(ls -1 /home/backup/archlinux/x86_64) )
for ((i=0;i<${#pkgfil...@]}-1;i++)); do
if [[ ${PKGFILES[$i]%%-[[:digit:]]*} ==

[arch-general] Firefox bug that may be Arch specific
Hi List, Just for information, there has been already two bug reports in Bugzilla that mention a bug in the display size of textboxes. Until now, only Archers seems to suffer from this bug and one of the mozilla developers has marked this issue as specific to Arch. Therefore, I thought it could be interesting to let Arch developers and users to be informed about this. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=491114 Thanks+regards.

Per the PolicyKit.conf man page: Changes to this configuration file are immediately propagated to running processes using the PolicyKit library.

I guess I'll like Policy Kit once I make friends with it, but it sure was a whole lot easier just issuing the 'mount /dev/whatever /media/whatever' command.

[arch-general] error dumped to terminal: kdeinit4: ... /usr/bin/kbuildsycoca4 on kdemod3?
Listmates, Here is a curious one. I am getting KDE4 errors dumped back to the screen on my KDE3 (kdemod3) screen hours after kdiff3 was run from the terminal? Here is what is getting dumped back to my terminal through stderr on my x86_64 install: kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/kbuildsycoca4 kbuildsycoca4 running... kbuildsycoca4(25149)/kdecore (KService) KServicePrivate::init: The desktop entry file "/usr/share/applications/kde4/koffice.desktop" has Type= "Application" but no Exec line kbuildsycoca4(25149)/kdecore (KService) KBuildServiceFactory::createEntry: Invalid Service : "/usr/share/applications/kde4/koffice.desktop" kbuildsycoca4(25149) KConfigGroup::readXdgListEntry: List entry Categories in "/usr/share/applications/opera.desktop" is not compliant with XDG standard (missing trailing semicolon). kbuildsycoca4(25149)/kdecore (KService) KServicePrivate::init: The desktop entry file "/usr/share/applications/scribus.desktop" has Type= "Application" but no Exec line kbuildsycoca4(25149)/kdecore (KService) KBuildServiceFactory::createEntry: Invalid Service : "/usr/share/applications/scribus.desktop" Anybody ever seen something like this before. It looks like it will be a kdemod issue related to the fact that kdiff3 was built against the kde4 runtime, but I thought I would ask hear to see if anyone else has seen something like this before? I have a bug open with kdemod: http://www.chakra-project.org/bugs/showreport.php?bugid=271 where additional details can be found. The times associated with running kdiff3 and then the above error messages have me confused. Specifically I ran kdiff3 and got the following output on stdout at 2:12 am: 02:12 alchemy:~/tmp/cursor/xcursorgen-1.0.2/mycursors> kdiff3 QFSFileEngine::open: No file name specified kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/klauncher kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/kded4 kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/kbuildsycoca4 kbuildsycoca4 running... kbuildsycoca4(16647) KConfigGroup::readXdgListEntry: List entry MimeType in "/opt/kde/share/applications/kde/k3b.desktop" is not compliant with XDG standard (missing trailing semicolon). kbuildsycoca4(16647) KConfigGroup::readXdgListEntry: List entry MimeType in "/opt/kde/share/applications/kde/filelight.desktop" is not compliant with XDG standard (missing trailing semicolon). Then hours later, I received the stderr messages: [05:15 archangel:~/tmp] # kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kconf_update kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/kbuildsycoca4 kbuildsycoca4 running... kbuildsycoca4 (21983)/kdecore (KService) KServicePrivate::init: The desktop entry file "/usr/share/applications/kde4/koffice.desktop" has Type= "Application" but no Exec line [09:05 archangel:~/tmp] # kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/kbuildsycoca4 kbuildsycoca4 running... kbuildsycoca4(25149)/kdecore (KService) KServicePrivate::init: The desktop entry file "/usr/share/applications/kde4/koffice.desktop" has Type= "Application" but no Exec line Now I'm not trying to run kdeinit4, that just what is coming back trough stderr and my prompt just happens to have a timestamp in it to help gage time. Is there anything I can do with kdiff3 to prevent the call to kdeinit4? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Xorg -configure Then move /root/xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add: Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" To the section of your videocard. No need to set other things like videoram, etc.

Here is the deal, When I stick the card in, as my normal user I can't access the device shown under "Services" "Storage Media" and there is no "disk" entry in /media. If I start konqueror running as root and then access "Services" "Storage Media" and the SD card (/dev/mmcblk0p1 in this case), Presto the device automatically appears as "disk" under /media and then I *can* access it (rw) as my normal user. What gives? What permissions are stuck? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Re: [arch-general] Howto create initial xorg.conf for intel 915?
Without xorg.conf, UXA of intel card would work defaultly. In my case it's all going fine~ You can check Xorg.log.0 in /var/log/. BTW, I'm using intel X4500 MHD.

[arch-general] Howto create initial xorg.conf for intel 915?
Listmates: I have been throught http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_Graphics, and even added the section on howto calculate your VideoRam value, but I didn't find anything about generating an initial xorg.conf for the intel card. Currently I have no xorg.conf and things are working, but not as fast as they could. I would like to configure the card to use UXA accell, but I need an xorg.conf to tweak. Anybody know a quick way to create one? Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
