Hello Pete,
Maybe your chosen mirros is down or slow. Try one of the others:

Hope you solve it.

Re: [arch-general] Groups and GIDs in PKGBUILDs
On Wednesday 30 May 2012 20:50:38 Martti Kühne wrote: Usually you will install to $pkgdir using install(1)'s -g in conjunction of the -m and, at your option, -D flags. Preservance of file metadata in that context is, as far as I understand given through makepkg's fakeroot environment. I think it's a bit more complex than that because groups are stored in archives by their GID, not their name. If I'm using a non-standard group, e.g. mygroup, the .install file will need to create the mygroup group on install, and the system will give it the next available GID. In the binary package, once it's built, a file may have a GID corresponding to mygroup. If it just so happens that mygroup on the packager's computer has a different GID to mygroup on the installer's computer, you'll end up with files installed with an unrecognised GID, or (worse) mapped to a different group entirely. In my case, I'm working on a new AUR package for Foswiki, and need to install files assigned to http. Since this is a standard group (according to the list on the Wiki), I know I can safely chown in the PKGBUILD, because the GID for http will be the same on everyone's system. I hope this makes the problem clearer. Paul

Seems way easier to me and is what I do. In AUR there is script called powerdown that does all that. yup there is but you still need to make sure it is doing everything for your system properly. To me it does not cover all the possibilities for every machine out there. It is good to look at for example settings though. I know on my system it missed over half the tuneable's when I gave it a shot.

Exactly why using powertop would be much better - it works very well on my systems and seems to catch all the possible tunables on any system without me having to rewrite different scripts each time. I'm envisioning a powertop --set-all-good and be done with it.

I'm envisioning a powertop --set-all-good and be done with it. I do my script 1 time only on each system I use, unless something starts occurring with power issues and that has only happened on one machine since doing it this way. Then just let it run as any script would. acpid works perfectly to do what you want. Set it up one time and you're good to go AND done with it. I do not get why you think you have to write a script each time?

Evolution on Xfce changed one color from gray to dark blue, now the email headers in the overview are unreadable. Try to add a spacer to panel. In the properties check expend option and set it transparent. I have a similar problem it with this header and i solved it for now with set another theme and not using default.

Re: [arch-general] linux-3.4.0-1 enters [testing]
Excerpts from Gaetan Bisson's message from Wed 30-May-12 09:11: [2012-05-29 15:46:57 -0600] Sergey Manucharian: The problem with ath5k still persists: ath5k phy0: gain calibration timeout https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=139270 Well the two patches mentioned there made it into linux-3.4. What else is there? I have done more testing and found that the gain calibration problem is (most probably) solved. I've reported it in the same forum's thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1108933#p1108902 -- Cheers, Sergey

[arch-general] QtCreator help font problem
I noticed in the help section of qtcreator ( version 2.5 installed from repo), the font size is small for me , as usual I tried key combination like(ctrl + +,ctrl+mouse wheel), but doesn't work properly, only the titles get zoomed in. And I changed setting in the options-help-font , also only titles zoomed in. The first page of help section of qtcreator can be zoomed in/out properly. But in many other pages (like QStyle page) only the title can be zoomed in/out. The qtcreator (2.4.1) installed from the official website qtsdk*.run installer doesn't have this problem. Anyone experiencing the same? Should I open a bug report?
