[arch-general] libgnomekbd 2.31.5-1
Hi everyone, I am experiencing this bughttps://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618727 in libgnomekbd that makes gnome-settings-daemon crash gnome with a segfault here. It is fixedhttp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libgnomekbd/2.31/libgnomekbd-2.31.5.newsin the latest libgnomekbd 2.31.5 http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libgnomekbd/2.31/. Unfortunately we only have version 2.30.2-1 in extrahttp://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=libgnomekbd . I've had a look into testing repo but can't find any newer AL version (maybe one I'm forgetting?). Here is the PKGBUILD from extra with updated uri and sum. signoff i686. I have only been testing for like 10 minutes but gnome-settings-daemon doesn't make gnome crash anymore ; just this error message I will have to figure out: ** (gnome-settings-daemon:8347): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.SettingsDaemon ** (gnome-settings-daemon:8347): WARNING **: Could not acquire name Thanks, Guillaume PKGBUILD Description: Binary data

In this case, latest stable gnome is 2.30 (next is 2.32). The 2.31 series is sort of like beta/RC for 2.32. You will not find them in [testing] or any of the base repos, only in [gnome-unstable] when JGC decides its time.

[arch-general] [python-scipy] in community-testing WAS scipy issue
Hi, I've uploaded a new release of python-scipy with this change applied (read above Fabrizio's e-mail). I did some tests, but I don't know certainly if this change will break other stuff... I would like to have some feedback from SciPy users. Thanks -- Forwarded message -- From: Fabrizio Castellano caste...@phys.ethz.ch Date: Mon, Aug 9, 2010 at 8:01 PM Subject: scipy issue To: an...@archlinux.com.ve Hello Angel I'm Fabrizio, a happy user of the python-scipy package on x86_64 platform, anyway today I noticed a problem. In scipy-0.8.0/scipy/special/cephes/mconf.h, line 111 there is: #define UNK 1 this should set the arithmetic used by scipy.special to unknown. In fact in the file scipy-0.8.0/scipy/special/cephes/airy.c there is: #ifdef UNK #define MAXAIRY 25.77 #endif #ifdef DEC #define MAXAIRY 25.77 #endif #ifdef IBMPC #define MAXAIRY 103.892 #endif #ifdef MIEEE #define MAXAIRY 103.892 #endif this limits evaluation of Airy functions to 25.77 for UNK arithmetic, while leaving 103.892 for the IBMPC arithmetic (the one used in x86 processors I think). I think they do this because they don't want to introduce architecture-specific code, but this is quite a limitation in the use of the airy function in scipy, and probably other things in scipy suffer from this UNK too. I manually recompiled scipy changing the #define UNK into #define IBMPC and it works. I think the #define UNK should be changed to a #define IBMPC by default in the arch repository. This would make the arch package match better with the x86 architectures. What do you think?

In fact, I am running Fedora 11 x86_64 64-bit Linux on my home multimedia desktop tower system. In order to run multiple other Linux distributions at the same time without rebooting my home personal computer, I am using the open source Xen Type 1 hypervisor/virtualization solution. You may check out my work and in-depth technical details on VGA Pass-through for add-on PCI-Express x16 graphics card to Xen-based Windows XP Home Edition 32-bit guest operating system/HVM domU running inside my Fedora 11 64-bit host operating system at the xen-devel (Xen developers) mailing list at the following internet links from July to November 2009.

Non-*NIX operating systems like Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 have to be run as Hardware Virtual Machines (HVM) under a Xen pv-ops Dom0 Linux operating system.

My primary IT blog is http://teo-en-ming-aka-zhang-enming.blogspot.com/ Since Google Inc. announced the release of the open source 32-bit Chromium OS (which is actually a stripped down Ubuntu 9.10-based Linux operating system) for netbooks last year, I have made an un-official port of chromiumos to the x86_64 64-bit architecture, which I called ChromiumOS64 myself. In the later stages of development, I have added Jeremy Fitzhardinge's Xen paravirt-ops Dom0 capability to my un-official ChromiumOS64 project (ChromiumOS64-Xen). My ChromiumOS64 and ChromiumOS64-Xen projects are listed at the official Xen.org website. Please visit http://www.xen.org/community/projects.html I am also enthusiastic about customizing and compiling my own Linux kernels. To add basic security to my home personal Linux multimedia computer, I have installed the open source Snort Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) and the open source OSSEC Host Intrusion Detection System (HIDS). A basic iptables script is also in force. I am also running s...@home (BOINC client) on my Linux PC to contribute to the search for extraterrestrials. And not forgetting that I have compiled Linux from Scratch (LFS) 6.5 from scratch following the LFS 6.5 Handbook and installed the PacMan Package Manager, essentially making it an ArchLinux Linux distribution.

[arch-general] parallel printer set up status
I found out for the missing driver to install ghostscript and now the driver isn't missing anymore. I plan to put cupsd in the daemons line of rc.conf probably at its end and that should prevent errors from popping up and the inability for cupsd to come up automatically on boot up.

That did it. All that was needed was to include cups in the daemons line and the cupsd daemon now starts up automatically.

Download the script here: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/Archlinux/scripts/srch2list.sh snip Whew - I have finally worked out the zenity install routine and I like it. I have also added the -n | --notext option that suppresses output of the list of search packages to the console. It is primarily for use with the -z | --zenity switch to allow the program to be run as a graphical program. Try it: srch2list.sh srchterm (or saved filename) -z -n and this will provide a graphical list with a checkbox for each package. You can select any number of packages you would like to install. Clicking 'Cancel' exits. Clicking 'OK' will bring up a confirmation dialog with the selected packages so the user can confirm the install --or-- modify the selection. Clicking 'Cancel' will again exit. Clicking 'OK' here will call pacman -Sy list of packages or will try 'sudo pacman' if run by other than root. The new option list is: Options: NOTE: options can be given in any order, flags must be separate: '-d -z' NOT '-dz' -c | --color disable the use of an accent color for pkgnames. -d | --double option controls single/double spaced output. -h | --helpdisplay this help message. -i | --installed show only installed packages. -n | --notext don't output list to console (use with -z). -u | --uninstalled show only uninstalled packages. -w | --write filename write search results to 'filename'. -z | --zenity provide graphical output using 'zenity --list' (requires zenity) Two additional testing options (no effect on script): -v | --verbose dump select variables to the screen. -a | --array dump the array contents to the screen (requires -v option) CHANGELOG: version 0.0.5 - Added to -n | --notext switch to suppress output of the list to the console - Added the ability to (1) select packages in the zenity list for install - Added confirm install dialog that allows modification and confirmation of packages to install with pacman -Sy TODO: - Perhaps add an initial searchterm or filename zenity dialog so this script can simply be run from a launcher on your desktop.
