 If it's compiled into the kernel, udev picks it up and creates
 the /dev
 nodes for us. 

Which still locks out the people who use a custom kernel with this
driver compiled as module. IMHO the init scripts should work with both
module and built-in.

 On a newly-set-up promiscuous USB system, I've chosen to skip a DE,

 nm-applet on this installation, and consequently have ended up with
 gnome-keyring installed alongside as well. So I thought, hey, I could
 make use of that thing, like I make use of kwallet with ksshaskpass on
 a KDE system.
 
 Unfortunately, after some headache-inducing trial-and-errors, it
 occurs to me as if this is fat hope. The technical background is as
 follows:
 
 1) Openbox WM only + pcmanfm for desktop management
 
 2) X is autostarted on bootup via su/inittab
 
 3) nm-applet autoconnects to my desired WiFi without any kind of
 prompting (though it did ask for a password to set up a new key the
 first time)

Why do you need nm-applet? If it is just about the autoconnect stuff you
should have a look at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Netcfg.


 4) gnome-keyring does not appear to be running post-startup (so we can
 assume nm-applet calls it on demand only)
 
 I do know that at least one similar issue with regards to having a
 login manager, realtime, is worked around by having the following in
 /etc/pam.d/su:
 
 session requiredpam_limits.so
 
 So I tried something akin to that with the gnome_keyring.so stuff, to no 
 avail.
 
 Any chance? You tell me.


For unlocking ssh keys at login I use pam_ssh which ask for the ssh key
password at login time and fires up ssh-agent after that.

Choice of tool is a separate issue :)

This is a promiscuous system, i.e I will take it with me all around
the world and plug it into all sorts of machines. As such, I need
support for all sorts of mobile phones, 3G modems, ADSL and VPN. I
myself have a Motorola ROKR E8, Huawei E220, Huawei
somethingelseidontremember, and currently in foreign land connected
to a very unreliable burst-mode ADSL.

NetworkManager + NetworkManager Applet is the only combination of
tools that has passed my tests for this.

 For unlocking ssh keys at login I use pam_ssh which ask for the ssh key
 password at login time and fires up ssh-agent after that.

Ahh, thanks. Actually, I skipped that from the start because I didn't
want any prompts before the WM started, and it didn't occur to that
it'd work since there's no normal login prompt with this setup (root
auto-logs-in for user).

I guess I'll stick to X11-ssh-askpass.

[arch-general] .Xdefaults vs Xdefaults-hostname vs .Xresources

2010-08-19 Thread Andre Osku Schmidt
Hello,

just heard a problem on #archlinux that gdm was not loading ~/.Xdefaults.
after quick search i found these:

gdm does not read .Xdefaults
http://bugs.gentoo.org/52832

$HOME/.Xdefaults no longer being read
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xinit/+bug/320886

man x mentions only .Xdefaults-hostname

#xorg said:
.Xdefaults  .Xdefaults-hostname have been depreacted for a long
time, .Xresources is the current form, but rarely used as most people
moved on to toolkits like Qt  Gtk that don't use .Xresources

man x also sais:
The default is $HOME/.Xdefaults-hostname. Unlike
$HOME/.Xresources, it is consulted each time an X application starts.

if no one has a better note for
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xdefaults ill just add that
manpage quote :P

[arch-general] New kernel and Realtek 8171 wireless card

2010-08-19 Thread Rafael Beraldo
I uploaded my Arch box this morning, and my wireless card doesn't work
anymore. I had to install this AUR package [1] to get it working with prior
kernel versions. When I ran lsmod | grep r8192, I realised that the module
isn't being loaded. But it makes no difference to run modprobe r8192e_pci
--- ifconfig -a won't show any wireless extentions.

Does anybody have this issue? I browsed the forum and the bug tracker and
found nothing about it. Unfortunatelly I ran pacman -Scc yesterday, so I
can't downgrade!

I'm sorry if I didn't make myself clear but I'm such a hurry I can't even
think clearly. Thank you all.

I found with it so far is minor (active tab in firefox could be better
visible). Thought I let you know.

 I checked /root and there is not /root/.bash*. Am I missing something
 here? I even created a new user and in their home directory there is
 no .bashrc. What is wrong with my system or am I expected to manually
 create the .bashrc file using 'vim'?

 check /etc/skel/.bashrc. You should be able to use that one as a base
file. simply copy it to the /root direcory or the $Home Directory of a user.

 alias ls='ls --color=auto'

 basically just tells bash to execute ls --color=auto instead of just ls.

 Hope that helps you ;)
 Right now I only have a 'root' user and no normal shell users ...yet.

 It's very frustrating in Arch that my directories[blue], text

 are all the same color. How can I colorize this in bash so my Arch

 I checked the Wiki and only found something about colorizing my PS1
 which is not what I really care about.

 Thanks for any help...

grab the DIRCOLORS bits from gentoo, they are the best.  stick it in
/etc/bash.bashrc.local.

or use this guys premade package in AUR (looks old, but prob works fine)

Drop the =auto and you'll get colorized listings with less, too.

ls --color=auto | less  =  usual b/w output
ls --color | less  =  colorized output

Yes, it's in [testing] because it's a lib from KDE SC 4.4.95 / 4.5.0 (just
become aware googling).
