[arch-general] In defense of pacman.static
Hi, This is my first posting on Arch-general. I am one of the recent converts to the Arch religion from the Debian religion. I am writing this in defense of the pacman.static package from archlinuxfr site. I have been running for Arch on a server, a laptop and an eeepc box for a while. The server and laptop were updated almost regularly may be once every 3 days where as the eeepc was not upgraded for about 2 months. So I hit pacman -Syu on eeepc and it first asked to install the new pacman version. I went ahead and then with the new pacman I had a problem. It would just not run as a shared library was missing. I was stuck. One way was to reinstall the thing again, I hate this. The other solution which I now describe might be known but still it might be interesting if you get stuck in a similar situation. Imagin that you are install Arch linux sitting in another distro. You would have started with installing the pacman.static package first and then syncing the packages into the directory which will be your new arch root. Something like $ mount /dev/sda2 /media/target $ # copy the mirror list and pacman.conf in the appropriate place $ pacman.static --root /media/target -Sy base Now that you are already in Arch all you have to do is the last line. In my case I just had to install the xz-utils package absense of which was creating the problem. $ pacman.static -S xz-utils The pacman upgrade some how did not install this package. I guess this is a bug. After that the pacman started working fine and I did the following $ pacman -Syu Note. This might be a problem with my pacman.conf. I probably had to install things in the right order. Regards ppk
Re: [arch-general] In defense of pacman.static
It's a problem with the default pacman.conf I suppose. By default, pacman is configured to upgrade itself first. If he have upgrade itself, but forget to bring dependencies with it, it's a shame. I think this is a bug with the FirstSync option in pacman.conf

[arch-general] xzgv, rtorrent and libtorrent have been orphaned - where can I apply for maintainership ?
i have been using archlinux for about 3 months.I have switched from fedora to arch due to its simplicity. i had reported a bug http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15199?string=xzgvproject=1type[0]=sev[0]=pri[0]=due[0]=reported[0]=cat[0]=status[0]=openpercent[0]=opened=dev=closed=duedatefrom=duedateto=changedfrom=changedto=openedfrom=openedto=closedfrom=closedto= when i first started using arch.Recently it has been fixed and i have tested and reported it. However it seems that xzgv package is currently orphaned as this page shows http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/xzgv/ so is rtorrent and libtorrent.They have been marked out-of-date for a while now. is another trusted user or developer will be maintaining the packages in the future ? i want to help and i want to maintain the above packages if someone else has not decided already. so where do i apply and how do i start ?

Allan no , xzgv 0.9.1 does not need the patch. it is for xzgv-0.9 release.simply updating the xzgv package will solve it. About the backend transition - does that mean maintainers of the packages in the community repo cannot update their packages at the moment or is there some other problem ? Should i email the maintainers personally to make a request to update ?

[arch-general] KDE4.3 upgrade

Re: [arch-general] KDE4.3 upgrade
As for the Amarok/MP3 thing: I had the same/a similar issue when upgrading to KDE 4.3. It seems in 4.3 the default phonon backend is gstreamer which is known to have issues. Try installing phonon-xine from extra and selecting xine as backind in systemsettings/multimedia. This did the trick for me. Edgar Am oder ungefähr am Donnerstag, 06.

Re: [arch-general] KDE4.3 upgrade
Or install the gstreamer0.10-good-plugins package. As Edgar says the phonon- xine solve your problems and it is better backend for phonon.

[arch-general] ABI compliance checker
Colleagues, I'm software engineer from Institute for System Programing of Russian Academy of Sciences and we are developing a free lightweight tool for checking backward/forward binary compatibility of shared C/C++ libraries in OS Linux. It checks interface signatures and data type definitions in two library versions (headers and shared objects) and searches ABI changes that may lead to incompatibility. We have released 1.1 version of this tool and we'd like you to consider its usefulness for your project.

[arch-general] GStreamer packages
Hello all, I see that some GStreamer packages have been outdated, attached you can find the PGKBUILD's with upgraded version and some other modifications detailed below. (Coudn't find if this is already discused) I also had a question about the gst-plugins-base/good/bad/ugly packages. I see that they are now split-up in 2 packages (ex: gstreamer0.10-base and gstreamer0.10-base-plugins). The second one contains the plugins depending on external libraries and the first one contains libraries and plugins without external dependencies. Typically a user has all gstreamer plugins installed, or at least he is using some plugins from every package. So I propose that we also merge these 2 plugins to make it easier to maintain and match upstream packages. Does this sound logic or do I miss something? Changes to PKGBUILD: gstreamer0-10: 0.10.24 - disable tests and examples gstreamer0.10-base and plugins: 0.10.24 - only LGPL - bump depends versions gstreamer0.10-python: 0.10.16 Gr, Thijs gstreamer0.10-0.10.24-1.src.tar.gz Description: Binary data gstreamer0.10-base-0.10.24-1.src.tar.gz Description: Binary data gstreamer0.10-base-plugins-0.10.24-1.src.tar.gz Description: Binary data gstreamer0.10-python-0.10.16-1.src.tar.gz Description: Binary data

Second, you can't relicense this to LGPL only, the cdparanoia plugin links to cdparanoia, which is GPL. This makes the plugin GPL also.

Apparently the GStreamer community asked [1] to cdparanoia developers to change the license to support LGPL, as this is the license used in core/base/good. This is from release 10.1 and we are using 10.2, so I think it is fine to say now that base is fully LGPL compatible now. [1] http://blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/2008/08/07/cdparanoia-now-lgpl-v2/

[arch-general] Firefox Fullscreen Fix
Hello, With the latest Firefox (3.5) with closed Nvidia drivers providing libGL, Firefox (or something) segfaults whenever you try to fullscreen a flash video (try youtube). Searching around, I've found a fix: simply export this in your environment: export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 You can just put this in your zsh/bash/whatever profile/config, or make a wrapper script for firefox or something. I'm contemplating filing a bug with us. Do you guys think it's worth doing? Is it with us? Cheers, -Andrei Garoth Thorp

Re: [arch-general] Firefox Fullscreen Fix
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 that fix was working for me since i upgraded to firefox 3.5 but since the update of nvidia driver recently and firefox update too. this fix does not work ANYMORE. look at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496831 and other duplicated bug reports it is supposed to be fixed. so it's coming in some near future
Re: [arch-general] Firefox Fullscreen Fix
Andrei Thorp wrote: Hello, With the latest Firefox (3.5) with closed Nvidia drivers providing libGL, Firefox (or something) segfaults whenever you try to fullscreen a flash video (try youtube). Searching around, I've found a fix: simply export this in your environment: export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 You can just put this in your zsh/bash/whatever profile/config, or make a wrapper script for firefox or something. I'm contemplating filing a bug with us. Do you guys think it's worth doing? Is it with us? Cheers, -Andrei Garoth Thorp You can also disable hardware acceleration in the player options. (obviously this will impact performance) Manne
