[arch-general] how to Map shortcut keys in KDE4.3 to lunch custom Applications?
Hi All, I am using KDE 4.3 Desktop on Archlinux 64bit. I have query regarding Custom keyboard shortcuts. I have few extra hotkeys on my keyboard(Microsoft Basic wired Keyboard 500). They keys have already mapped and few of them work too. Play does play/pause in amarok. However few keys do not work. I want to map these these to do some actions. like I want the calc hotkey to launch a application speedcrunch. I think this has something to with Khotkeys configration, But I haven't been able to figure out how exactly to configure khotkeys due to lack of documentation. So I need your help, How to map Custom Keyboard Shortcuts to launch custom Application on KDE4.3? Regards, Gaurish Sharma www.gaurishsharma.com

If you want to read up on the different sound components, just do a google search. There's tons of articles out there, some very good, mostly a bit crap. Lennart Pottering (dev for Pulse) has a particularly good one I recall. Most on Arch wouldn't like his conclusions though.

Then select the application you want to assign a shortcut to, and in the Advenced tab you can assign the shortcut. However, you can only assign keys that are recognized by Qt. There are many special keys that are not recognized by Qt=4.5. Qt 4.6 will have much better special key support (at least all special keys on my laptop are recognized)

And if you e.g. have an ice1712 based audio card like the M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 you only need the GTK based envy24control but no other tool of this package. This way you save diskspace and you don't need Qt as a dependency which is a dependency for at least one other tool and therefore for the complete alsa-tools package. In the repos this could be implemented by a split package or probably by optdepends. Greetings, Heiko

One other advantage of these split packages in AUR is that in case of a possible bug you still can compile and install the tool you need if another tool and the complete package would fail to build.

Re: [arch-general] An old, tiresome discussion: cdrtools vs cdrkit
Loui Chang louipc@gmail.com wrote: If there are outstanding licensing or legal issues they may decide to avoid that particular software. This would be a reason to avoid cdrkit. Cdrkit is in a clear conflict with the Copyright law and I as the owner of the rights on the software did already inform the creators of this fork that I may sue them in case that they continue to ignore the law. The issue isn't really about bugs vs. no bugs. So let's stay on topic. It's more about licenses and the legal ramifications that may come with improper usage. I think Arch followed Debian because they seem to know a lot more than we do. On the other hand, maybe we should be using debs rather than .pkg.tar.gz if that's the case. (hah) This is a social issue. A hostile Debian packager did spread untrue claims on a OSS project and Debian (and others) have become a victim of these claims. If Debian really would know a lot about licensing, they did not believe the claims of the hostile packager. All decent legal systems require people who claim that others are in conflict wit the law or in conflict with contracts (like the GPL) to prove their claims. It is not the attacked people who need to defend against unsubstancial claims. Now It would be intersting why parts of the OSS community did leave the base of every decent legal system, believe in unsubstancial attacks from a hostile person and ask me to defend This is a serious attack against the ethics in OSS and we need to find a way to deal with similar attacks in future. As long as things like the attack against cdrtools may be successful, the OSS eco system is not yet stable enough to withstand attacks from outside. It is important to respect the caution that the devs are taking. Personally, if it was my decision, I'd encourage any Arch dev or TU who is interested in maintaining cdrtools to go ahead with it. I don't have the same faith in Debian that a lot of others might. Anyways, this package could easily be made available in an unofficial repository until everyone is comfortable with the licensing. Don't rely on the devs to do everything for you. From my understanding, what Arch Linux does is a matter of how Arch Linux likes to deal with it's users. If Arch Linux does not care about the users, nbothing needs to change. In the other case, a change seems to be important in order to get rid of the bugs in the fork. I can just point to the fact that the original software has no known bugs and that bugs in the original software are typically fixed within a few hours. Becoming a packet maintainer for cdrtools thus takes a lot less effort than doing the same for cdrkit.

Admittedly, there are bugs in the alsa-plugin for pulse, but its actively worked on by a paid developer who listens to well-mannered suggestions (not the typical linux fanatic going I don't want anything to be different from 10 years ago when sound on linux was perfect). And no, pulse will not replace all the other sound servers and layers. For pro-audio, JACK reigns, and will do so in the foreseeable future. Pulseaudio is meant for common desktop use, end of. Fortunately, that's exactly where most of us are with regards to sound. I think it bears repetition, for most programs (which don't try to use ALSA in complicated ways) you only need to use pulse's alsa-plugin and it'll work with pulse no problem. Sound APIs such as gstreamer already support direct pulse output.

This will help of course only if this application sends the output to alsa. I think it's not possible to use it as how you expect. -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD

[arch-general] First Time Arch w/ Gnome Installed
This is my 1st time ever installing Arch Linux with GDM / Gnome desktop environment. I did not install 'gnome-extra' package because I don't want all the useless applications. I prefer to only install what I need. I am have been using an Ubuntu 10.4 workstations and got everything working on my new Arch system. It is very fast even installed the latest nVidia drivers from their site. My only issue I have is the fonts look horrible. I did go to 'System Preferences Appearance Fonts tab' and set the fonts to 'Sub Pixel Smoothing' for LCD's but I am missing the smoothness and glossiness (Anti Aliasing) that Ubuntu had. My Arch fonts still look very rough and 1993'ish. I don't know what I can do to make my Gnome / Desktop environment appear more polished and cleaner. Do you guys have any suggestions? Do I need a specific WM or special decorative package? I work a lot on my workstation and need it to be pleasing to the eyes. The fonts I have don't make my system look very appealing. I know it sounds stupid but I really like my DE to be pleasing on my eyes since I use if for hours at a time... Thanks for any help!

I did not install 'gnome-extra' package because I don't want all the useless applications. I prefer to only install what I need. I am have been using an Ubuntu 10.4 workstations and got everything working on my new Arch system. It is very fast even installed the latest nVidia drivers from their site. My only issue I have is the fonts look horrible. I did go to 'System Preferences Appearance Fonts tab' and set the fonts to 'Sub Pixel Smoothing' for LCD's but I am missing the smoothness and glossiness (Anti Aliasing) that Ubuntu had. My Arch fonts still look very rough and 1993'ish. I don't know what I can do to make my Gnome / Desktop environment appear more polished and cleaner. Do you guys have any suggestions? Do I need a specific WM or special decorative package? I work a lot on my workstation and need it to be pleasing to the eyes. The fonts I have don't make my system look very appealing. I know it sounds stupid but I really like my DE to be pleasing on my eyes since I use if for hours at a time... Thanks for any help! If you open the Fonts tab in the Appearance preferences, and click Details, another window opens that allows you to set the font hinting. Ubuntu has it set to Slight by default so changing this might help how the fonts look. Worth a try at least! Damien I suggest taking a look at the Font_Configuration http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_Configuration article in the Wiki, it's got a lot of useful tweaks. Also, I found myself very comfortable with the Cleartype packages, namely cairo-cleartype, freetype2-cleartype and libxft-cleartype (which you can find in AUR); they /do/ make arch a better visual experience!

Yeah I will review the Wiki again in more detail. I have never installed anything from AUR but assume it's pretty straight forward. I will try your suggested packages... Thanks!
