Re: [arch-general] Installing Arch on Hannsnote

Now, I installed Kubuntu Netbook edition and everything works out of the box. Unfortunately it won't last long on my laptop, its interface is scarying:) I'd really like to archify my netbook. It came with XP preinstalled, but I cannot use it without a Linux operating system, for practical and also psychological reasons (no, not ideological:) ). If someone had a similar experience to share, I'd be happy:) If your goal was to install a Linux operating system, you reached it twice. If it is to install Arch, you should check which version of your wireless and graphical drivers Puppy and Ubuntu are using, and eventual patches.

The block device of my drive used to become but the mounted filesystem continued to work, IIRC. Indeed the filesystems is left intact, which at least is a good thing:) Is KMail unable to quote mails or did you drop inaccessible, from the quote above (after used to become)? Are you running Linux kernel 2.6.31? Yes, I am. Previously I pointed out the video card because the first time I met this problem, I was doing dirty things with CUDA under Ubuntu 9.04, and rebooting brought everything back in order. Could this be a sign of a relationship between the closed source Nvidia drivers and the wild controller? I had a 13 year old Matrox PCI graphics card inside when the problem was happening. And at that time I _think_ I had 2 SATA and 1 IDE drives connected to the JMicron controller. Now the 2 SATA drives are connected to Intel ICH9 Southbridge, and the IDE drive to JMicron (the motherboard is Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3). -- -- Rogutės Sparnuotos

[arch-general] [signoff] mdadm-3.0.3-1
Hi downgrade in testing repository due to potential dataloss problems: http://marc.info/?l=linux-raidm=125748985908870w=2 Changelog: http://neil.brown.name/git?p=mdadm;a=blob_plain;f=ANNOUNCE-3.0;hb=7f0066ba713a8f3ddf093c038e009fde74d673a5 Please update and recreate your initcpio after upgrading. One thing i observed, when using a custom /etc/mdadm.conf file our rc.sysinit will run mdadm --assemble --scan, which will always give exit code 2, due to devices busy. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tp...@archlinux.org signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
[arch-general] programmable API for flyspray?

[arch-general] kde3 sources available anymore missing garbage collector
Guys, I don't know if the kde3 sources still live on a server some where, but I would be interested in finding them. I still have all the PKGBUILD files for the kde3 install, but I need a few sources. kpdf for starters, and there are a couple more. Also, I successfully built quanta from AUR -- works fine, but I was unable to build pdftk due to missing dependencies: gcc-gcj package not found, searching for group... error: 'gcc-gcj': not found in sync db == ERROR: Pacman failed to install missing dependencies. I think that is some type of garbage collector. Anybody know where I can find it? I have a couple of scripts that use pdftk so it is somewhat of a pressing matter. Other than the sound I'm still working on (haven't had time to mess with it), the install is done. (Arch+e16+e17+openbox+kde4+full LAMP+GNU development pkgs+full Office setup). This was my sixth arch install since April. In the same time period I have done one suse install (for my youngest daughter). Arch is such a damn good distro it is a grand testament to some very smart thinking about how best to put together and -- more importantly -- maintain a Linux distribution. The folks on the suse list just can't explain why, with the abundant resources of Novell in their pocket, little 'ole Arch is always 1-2 major versions of just about everything ahead of them. (gotta love it!) I -- can tell you why. Arch nailed it with the rolling release approach. That is the right way to do a distro. Even if on occasion packages need to say in testing for 30-90 days to accomodate a major kernel change/whatever, it still beats the hell out of trying to maintain 3 separate versions of a an opensource distribution, built for 3 different kernels, and the complete set of some 4000 packages per distro version that need to be maintained. The resources required to try and do that are staggering. (I needle them that going to a rolling release would tripple their net revenues overnight just due to cost savings alone ;-) I'll try and cobble together my install notes after I'm done and update the wiki in any of the areas I faced challenges. (I'm a bit tight on time at present) Thanks you all for all the help needed in the areas where I got hund up. Cheers! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
