[arch-general] synergy-plus

2010-06-01 Thread Caleb Cushing
I suppose this could be filed as a bug... but since extra/synergy has
long been unmaintained upstream. I recently found a fork
http://code.google.com/p/synergy-plus/ for which there is already a
pkgbuild on AUR. perhaps we should consider relegating the original
synergy to AUR and moving synergy-plus into extra (or community)

Yeah, I just realized that myself. I guess the word 'testing' is just
too prevalent all over the wiki.

its just an idea, and maybe you already tried that, but:
if you are using alsa, check the alsamixer in a terminal.

compiling doesn't help that, it's when you install the application that it
compiles and installs the modules. I always reinstall when a new kernel
comes out.

There is, or was, a long standing bug in catalyst/fglrx that causes pretty much
what you describe.

2010-06-01 Thread Andre "Osku" Schmidt
Hello,

blah blah, yada yada...
didn't see any real use case for it, so didn't finish (rewrite/polish)
it, sorry.
(and i just wanted to see how it would look like;)

nice looking package:
pacgraph tkabber | dot -Tsvg > test.svg

color shows which repo...

disclaimer, i'm no "real" coder, and this was my first script in perl!

cheers
.andre

ps. in reality i just got bored to code more complicated things,
looping through all repos was annoying enough ;)

so why you don't want to the what it suggesting and then reload the modules?

also next time pay attention on pacman output. after upgrading the a new

as root.

Currently (and for the past 2 months or so), all our Debian Squeeze
boxes suffer from not being able to shutdown/restart/logout from the
gnome menu. Our only option is to do a 'switch user' and then
shutdown/restart from gdm. Probably something with
polkit/gnome-keyring-daemon, but I cannot find any errors in the logs
which makes this hard to debug.

Our problems are probably unrelated, but I feel your pain :)
