Re: [arch-general] Ugh.. It's Official -- OpenOffice is forked -- LibreOffice
I know a fork can be a pain but why do you say Ugh? When the project was under Sun they maintained way too tight of control over everything and they really didn't get the whole Open Source philosophy. Under Oracle? Well, we've seen what they've done with OpenSolaris I think that Oracle is trying to be the new M$.

If you install the dependencies of the AUR's package [1] you should be able to compile it yourself from source.

[arch-general] Problems mountig ftp/smb via gvfs
Hello altogether Today I ran into the following problem: When I try to connect to an ftp Server via the connect to Server Dialog in Nautilus, the ftp Server gets mounted. Unfortunatelly there are no files in the newly created mountpoint. I also looked manually in the .gvfs/FTPSERVERNAME/ Directory and it is empty. However trying to access the ftp-Server via filezilla (an ftp programm), works fine. The exactly same issue comes up, if I try to connect to a Windows-Share. A mountpoint is created, but its empty. Nautilus shows no error message and I have no idea of how to solve this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Benedikt

A decade ago I used to get excited when packages forked and had the time to go play. Today, 3-kids later, time is at a premium and I prefer when things just continue to work so I don't end up spending 10's of hours trouble-shooting and writing bug reports. I still do the trouble-shooting and I still write bug reports, but exciting it ain't and something else has to get pushed off to do it. That being so, I'm not at all unhappy about the choice to fork OO. I think the devs saw some real conflicts in culture coming down the road and were probably really smart to do it before a crisis ensued. So all Ugh's aside, I'm optimistic about LibreOffice and I'm just crossing my fingers the fork doesn't cost me a work-week worth of hours over the next year to trouble-shoot and bug.

[arch-general] Does Anyone have a dial-in' server working on arch with pppd?
Guys, In the past I have set up 'dial-in' servers in my home to share the cable internet connection when I'm at sites with no internet connections. This has worked great for years on SuSE. The way it works is: ___ _ | other box | dials modem on server and | Server w/modem | | kppp dialer |-| cable internet| | | gets an IP and starts ppp | hylafax-adaptive | --- | answer, handles | | data call, starts | Internet--| pppd session and | | internet out ttyS1| - I have tried a number of times to get this to work on Arch and I'm drawing blanks. I have set /etc/ppp/options, chap-secrets, pap-secrets as I have run them in the past, but they never start ppp. I'm beginning to think that something is wrong with the current pppd package. If somebody has a running config or ideas about how to make this work with arch, I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
