Re: [arch-general] PulseAudio in [testing]
Of course. My observation was meant to go with the comment above on preventing pulseaudio from starting if it is installed by deleting the dbus activation files. Just pointing out that an application may, potentially, still start it.
[arch-general] script idea - update single arch box - updates all on local net
Guys, I've played with an idea to save time with updates and duplicate (old version) removal from /var/cache/pacman/pkg for all arch boxes on a local network. I thought I would pass along the idea and the scripts as they exist now. Requirements: - public key/private key ssh access for user between boxes on the lan (id_dsa) - sudo rights for user on each box Config: - all script calls to additional scripts are to symlinks in /usr/local/bin Operation: pmduprsync.sh - is the outside script that runs pacman -Syu --noconfirm on a box on the lan (you can nix the --noconfirm if you want to review). -- it then calls fduparch.sh (which just sets the directories to remove old version of the packages from/to (I've posted a full description before). Which then calls: -- fduppkg (the actual script that scans /var/cache/pacman/pkg and moves old versions of packages to another directory of your chosing. (currently /home/backup/pkg-old for me) -- fduparch.sh runs a second time for me to remove old versions from /home/backup/pkg-old to /home/backup/pkg-older (original I know) pmduprsync.sh grabs a md5sum of the /var/cache/pacman/pkg dir on the remote hosts of the same arch and then rsyncs /var/cache/pacman/pkg dir to remote host and grabs another md5sum. If the sums differ, then pacman -Syu --noconfirm is called on the remote host following by fduparch.sh to tidy up the /var/cache/pacman/pkg dir there. For me the benefit is I keep a current package set for all boxes in the package dir of each host (not an issue in the days of 1T drives). Further, bandwidth reduction. Packages are only downloaded once and rsynced between boxes. Now granted the --noconfirm isn't optimal, and I always check first before pulling the trigger, but the automation of checking what an update will include on one host (generally the host with the widest package selection) and then having the updates daisy-chain to all other arch boxes on the lan while tidying up /var/cache/pacman/pkg on each box is a big plus. Currently you will see that I've just hard coded which hosts are i686 and x86_64 in pmduprsync.sh (easy at home - only 4 boxes 2 of each arch), but there is no reason why either an i686/x86_64 host list file couldn't be automagically built with some type of subnet host query followed up with ssh 'uname -r' calls. Anyway here are the scripts in case it sparks an idea with someone else. Regardless of whether you want the auto update part, the scripts that move old versions of packages from /var/cache/pacman/pkg have served me well. http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/Archlinux/scripts/pmduprsync.sh http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/Archlinux/scripts/fduparch.sh http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/Archlinux/scripts/fduppkg Once I refine the logic in the update script a bit more and the collection of hosts with the same arch on the lan, I'll follow up. All the scripts are my original work and are gpl, so use, reuse, tear apart at will. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] alsa, hdmi, and the invisible magic output
Good evening everyone, I'm using arch since a while now. Everything was working just fine, until a few weeks (months?) ago. Since, I had a few problems I can't understand : The first symptom was the day I lost sound on my regular audio output (moterhboard intel HDA). I finally noticed sound was actually send to my TV through my G92 9800GT. I had a long period during while I was always switching my speakers wire from my tower to the screen, and back to the computer. The main problem beeing that, after putting the screen in sleep mode, I wasn't able to get the sound back without restarting X. Since, the problem changed, somewhat. Now, vlc sends its sound in both my motherboard and my graphic card outputs. While banshee's still only using the motherboard one. The most recent symptom is that, when I'm already playing some music with banshee, I can't have sound on any web browser (opera, firefox chromium tested so far). I first though it was flash-related. But since I can't have sound while playing quakelive too (and AFAIK, QLive doesn't uses flash), I'm a bit confused... What could be happening? The only way I can get sound working back in the web browser is to shut down banshee and restart the browser. And I won't be able to make banshee work again before closing the browser, and then starting banshee. The following error is continuously reported when executing chrome from terminal, while using banshee: ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave I searched for some details on google. It seems the first thing I may do is to specify which audio device use by default.

Re: [arch-general] alsa, hdmi, and the invisible magic output
What does cat /proc/asound/modules give you? If it lists two different
modules, maybe the driver you don't want is loading before the good one,
causing alsa to pick the bad one as the primary. In which case you might
just be able to fix that by placing the following in
/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf: options module_name_here index=-2 which
should make the bad module load after the good one. That happened on my
system, and this fix worked perfectly for me.
