[arch-general] strange files
Hi, I'm getting files with random names created in my home directory, last one was: s5EZVJ and they always have the same content: Hello World, is anyone else getting the same?
[arch-general] devilspie doesn't work
Hi, I want to run devilspie to add opacity to windows of particular apps. But i can't get it to work. I can't even run the example script from arch wiki article [1]. I've tried it under twm and dwm; both don't work. I run devilspie -d -a command, to set it to debug mode, then I get: Devil's Pie 0.22 starting... Loading /etc/devilspie Loading /etc/devilspie/example.ds Loading /home/maciejjo/.devilspie Loading /home/maciejjo/.devilspie/opacity.ds 2 s-expressions loaded. But I think it should report something when I open and close windows, and it does not. Can someone reproduce this issue? [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Per_Application_Transparency maciejjo
Re: [arch-general] New file /etc/rc?

Does this mean its replacing the daemons array or something? And with the starting and stopping of daemons... is this for automation or something. The news page doesn't really offer that much explanation about this new file. You mean /sbin/rc ? Its just a script that can change or merely show the state of every script in /etc/rc.d/ . Plus its only 50 LOC in bash and it even includes usage examples. You should just read it. Its not replacing anything. PS. The aur-general mailing list is not the place for this kind of questions.

[arch-general] Yay for rc
Thanks for making this little seemingly minor change. I've been missing something like it in Arch since I made the switch. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: mag...@therning.org jabber: mag...@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Perl is another example of filling a tiny, short-term need, and then being a real problem in the longer term. -- Alan Kay pgpidmSg5npjq.pgp Description: PGP signature
[arch-general] /sbin/rc bug?
I might have discovered a bug with this new /sbin/rc thing. If I run /etc/rc.d/httpd start, Apache starts just fine. Yet if I do rc start httpd it fails with: :: Starting Apache Web Server [BUSY] (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80 (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs [FAIL] So, bug?
Re: [arch-general] Gnome 3, a bug?

You start http twice. The seconds time, httpd is running and new httpd cannot bind on socket! It's not a bug of /sbin/rc. In this release, /sbin/rc just call /etc/rc.d/script. It's a bug in apache rc script which doesn't check is httpd is already running. you can easily check by running twice /etc/rc.d/httpd start. Regards, -- Sébastien Luttringer www.seblu.net
