[arch-general] [No X] Changing a keyboard layout, compose

[jugree]

Hello.

Is there a way to redefine keys that change a layout (there is only
one suitable KEYMAP that uses Ctrl+Shift, but I'd like to use
Alt+Shift)? Is it possible to enable a compose key (without X)? I've
found a Debian-only solution: http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/44478

Re: [arch-general] Set terminus as a system font

 Hello.

 I installed Terminus from a source tarball and successfully set it as
 a console font (in /etc/vconsole.conf).

 How can I set it as a default system-wide monospace font? I've found
 this tutorial: http://orford.org/gtk/#fonts, but it doesn't explain
 how to use several fonts (is it possible?).

The easiest way to install Terminus system-wide is to remove those
files you added and run pacman -S terminus-font. It's in community.

[arch-general] Bluetooth with G-Grip Bluetooth Speaker...

[David McDow]

Hello,

I travel a lot and have purchased a G-Grip Bluetooth speaker (
http://www.target.com/p/g-project-g-grip-portable-speaker-black-g-50/-/A-14269891)
 with
the intent of listening to music after I get back to the hotel and process
data (I'm a land surveyor).  I can pair with my Galaxy Nexus and the
computer (Dell D620) but there is no sound coming from the G-Grip..

I have followed the directions here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth and have not been able have
the speaker play music.  I get the following so I feel sure the devices are
communicating.

$ hcitool scan
Scanning ...
00:1D:DF:59:66:4E   G-GRIP

The next step yields:

$ sudo bluez-simple-agent
Agent registered

The next step yields:

$ sudo bluez-simple-agent hci0 00:1D:DF:59:66:4E
Release
New device (/org/bluez/1094/hci0/dev_00_1D_DF_59_66_4E)

I am not sure what this means, but it appears to be positive however there
is no sound coming from the speaker.  I use Audacious on my laptop to play
music and have looked at the settings, to no avail.  I have searched (like
crazy) for a solution and have found nothing to solve this problem.

My hunch is that the speaker doesn't require a password.  The speaker
documentation for pairing says:

BLUETOOTH OPERATION
Pair with Bluetooth* capable devices to stream stereo audio wirelessly for
music, movies, video games and apps.
PAIRING
1. In Standby mode, press the Power Button to turn G-GRIP on and begin
Bluetooth pairing (make sure that no cable is connected to the AUX Input).
The Bluetooth LED will flash blue.
2. On your Bluetooth device, select G-GRIP from the device list to pair
with it (*no password is required*). Once Bluetooth has paired
successfully, the Bluetooth LED on G-GRIP will turn solid blue.
3. To clear the Bluetooth memory on G-GRIP, turn G-GRIP on and hold the
Pairing Button for a few seconds [emphasis mine]

I am at a loss and to reiterate, I can't find anything on the web to help
me solve this issue.  I would appreciate any insight to solve this problem.

Thank you,
David
