Re: [arch-general] Truecrypt mounting vanishes desktop icons

What you did here you mounted truecrypt folder (that uses fuse technology) on top of your Desktop. Desktop files are not disappeared but they are hidden by truecrypt folder you just mounted. To restore it back you need to unmount the Desktop directory. Something like $ fusermount -u /home/usr/Desktop Is there any way to be able to mount on Desktop but not lose my folders? Most likely you do not want to mount truecrypt (or other fuse filesystem) to your Desktop. I would suggest do it to other folder, e.g. ~/Desktop/secret $ mkdir ~/Desktop/secret $ truecrypt --mount /PATH/OF/FILE ~/Desktop/secret
[arch-general] rEFInd 0.6.4 + linux 3.7.2-1 fail to boot
Hi, everyone. I've a HP Pavilion g4 machine with UEFI, using rEFInd. After a upgraded to refind-efi 0.6.4-1 and linux 3.7.2-1, my system stopped to boot. rEFInd loads properly, and others boot options, like EFI Shell and Windows 8 are working, but trying to boot kernel 3.7.2 froze on the message in begin saying Starting vmlinuz-linux ...kernel options. initrd was built correctly. This issue only occurs with linux 3.7.2, downgrading to 3.7.1 makes system bootable again (from where I'm writing). rEFInd config file is basically default, only with timeout changed to 5. My boot options: root=/dev/AndreSYS/Arch resume=/dev/AndreSYS/Swap cryptdevice=/dev/disk/by-uuid/e38e188e-f775-41fe-9607-ce977c7716d8:syslvm ro add_efi_memmap rootfstype=ext4 -- https://profiles.google.com/andre.vmatos signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

The solution is: mount it to an empty folder. eg: ~/Desktop $ mkdir tc-volume ~/Desktop $ truecrypt --mount /path/to/file ~/Desktop/tc-volume

When you use a non-empty directory as a mount target, its contents are obscured by those of whatever file/device you are mounting, which I'm guessing is an empty Truecrypt volume in this case. You could just create an empty folder in Desktop and mount onto that instead. -- Wayne

Thanks for the fast reply. If you are talking about file-5.12 problem, as I said, initrd (a.k.a. initramfs) was built properly, since I had downgraded to file 5.11 previously. And I'm subscribed and following discussions in arch-dev-public. My problem persist, preventing me from upgrade to linux 3.7.2. Any ideas? -- http://www.google.com/profiles/andre.vmatos signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Just a thought: Did you forget to copy the generated kernel image of the 3.7.2 to the EFI partition? Regards.
