Re: [arch-general] 2 annoying bugs in kde
Hi! Thank you for your responses! I tried a new user account with a fresh .kde4 configuration and the two things seem to work there. So I think I’ll have to delete .kde4 for my main account, too, but I’ll wait until I have a free weekend or so to copy all the things I need over to the new config. Is it planned to do this after every kde upgrade or will the config be stable at some point? I’m also actually using the qtcurve theme but my version is 0.65.0 so that should not be the problem.

A quick search of the web brought up that this was “a minor regression in kdelibs“ and should be fixed by now (sorry, I don’t remember the actual site I read this on). So my question is: Is anyone experiencing the same problem and has a fix? Or do we really just need to wait for an update of KDE? If so: Is an update planned or do we have to wait for 4.3 or 4.2.5? Are you using the QtCurve theme by chance? With version 0.65.0 I had the same problem (also Gwenview crashed), but after the update to 0.65.0 I haven't seen this anymore. Maybe it could have been another update I did in the meantime, but I think QtCurve could cause such problems. Kind regards, signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Re: [arch-general] modprobe changes
Aaron Griffin schrieb: I think you're mistaken. Our modprobe doesn't have any message of the sort, relating to Arch. The error you are seeing is due to a change in the way modprobe parses config files. It used to read /etc/modprobe.conf and/or /etc/modprobe.d/* - now it only reads /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf The message is modprobe telling you something is wrong with the config files. Most likely you just have a .pacsav file in /etc/modprobe.d/ This is annoying, I thought it would simply ignore those files. Now it seems that it reads them, but prints that warning. Do you think we should patch it to at least ignore .pacsave files until they remove this warning and backward-compatibility? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I've noticed an issue regarding mkinitcpio and the new modprobe changes that requires a symlink from /etc/modprobe.conf to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf in order for options for any modules you load in the initramfs to be applied, just incase this hasn't been reported yet.

I dont have a clear overview of what the differences are (the ppp one is an older fork of the rp-pppoe version), but I could make a diff and check for obvious things if needed. That's what I thought. My impression was that the ppp project is mostly dead, but its sources were imported into a git[1] last year and there was active development. Nothing was ever released though. Anyway, putting a plugin into /etc/ is stupid regardless of why it is being done. [1] http://git.ozlabs.org/?p=ppp.git;a=summary signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Look it over, add to it, find all my typos, etc.. Hopefully it will be useful. Hi David, Another option would be LVM. With it you could easily grow your (logical) partitions and even adding another disk if needed. Armando
