[arch-general] evdev and touchscreen

2012-12-15 Thread Δημήτρης Ζέρβας
I have the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and I set up a chroot environment with
Arch. I run Xorg server successfully, the S-Pen (digital pen) works out of
the box with evdev driver, however I can't get the touchscreen to work.
It's on /dev/input/event1 and I've tried: mtrack, multitouch, synaptics and
it just don't work. no errors at all. I tried evdev and when I touch the
screen it throws this [1] and dies.
I also tried xf86-input-evdev-multitouch-git but it throws the same errors
as the regular evdev
I run e17, but I think that it's not a problem.
my xorg.conf [2]

[arch-general] How to remember password and workgroup when connecting to Windows 7 share?

2012-12-15 Thread Ardo Gorria
HI,

I am new to Arch Linux but not to Linux as a whole. I'd be grateful for any
advice on how to store the password as follows:-

I am running an up to date Arch Linux system and have set up XFCE 4.1. As
per the wiki I have installed gvfs-smb. I can browse my network from Thunar
1.6.1 and can access windows shares perfectly. When prompted I enter my
username, workgroup and password and also click the radio button to
'remember forever' the password. The session is fine and I can copy files
back and forward perfectly.

However, after a reboot or unmounting the share, I am prompted to re-enter
the Domain/Workgroup and also the password.

Can anyone point me to how I can get the system to memorise these fields? I
have gnome keyring installed, so I'm guessing it could be permissions or
something else I haven't thought of.

Grateful for any advice.

A.
