[arch-general] Sound broken, using pulse audio
Hi all, After the last kernel upgrade, my sound is not working after weaking up from hibernate. The device PulseAudio is shown in alsamixer, PulseAudio is up and running, the channels are shown in pavucontrol and even the level sound bar is showing the audio levels, but there is no sound. Everything works after shutting down - starting up again my system (not even using restart). I am using systemd to hibernate / restart my laptop. Thanks in advance, -- Carlos Alegría Galicia,
[arch-general] Fully wroking GTK3(+GTK2) theme for Gnome 3.8?
It seems it's a rather common problem that GTK3 themes partly break Gnome3.8 by preventing having a nice desktop background while letting the file manager draw the background: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=162204 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=161918 I've so far found only two (2!) GTK3 themes that work in this respect, the default theme Adwaita that ships with Gnome3.8 and Nokto3.8 (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=158033). I'm not particularly pleased with the aesthetics of either of them though. What's causing this behaviour in themes? (Hopefully it's easy to fix the broken themes I come across.) What other themes have you found that work properly? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: mag...@therning.org jabber: mag...@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
Re: [arch-general] Broken sound with Linux 3.9.2 on Acer laptop
Hello BlissSam, After upgrading to 3.9.2 kernel, the sound did not work. However, the system CAN recognize my sound card, and my sound card appeared in `alsamixer` Downgrading the kernel can solve the problem. Providing more info: Acer Aspire laptop, with Intel i5 CPU, 2nd generation SandyBridge. `uname -a`: Linux brilliant-laptop 3.9.2-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat May 11 20:31:08 CEST 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux `lspci | grep Audio`: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04) lspci -nn | grep Audio could provide some info susceptible to help. snd_hda_intel apply treat differently hda intel hardware differently depending on device id. Explore a little bit files content under /proc/asound Such as: /proc/asound/cards /proc/asound/devices /proc/asound/pcm /proc/asound/card0/codec* Fallback to simple stuff such as speaker-test -c2 aplay somewavfile.wav aplay -l aplay -L I have found it useful and very interesting to do strace -e trace=open speaker-test -c2 That shows you all config files that alsa-lib opens.

Thanks in advance, A quick google search suggests you are fix that by restarting the pulse audio daemon. Try this in a terminal window: pulseaudio -k pulseaudio -D

Re: [arch-general] about the removal of that systemd symlink...
Is it the Arch recommendation to add this kernel option at boot time? Or will /sbin/init point to /usr/lib/systemd/systemd for the foreseeable future? As long as the kernel default for the init process is /sbin/init, we will keep probably the /sbin/init symlink for systemd. We may add /usr/lib/systemd/systemd to be the default in mkinitcpio and drop the /sbin/init symlink at some point (just a stupid idea of mine right now). maybe the systemd-sysv-compat package can be integrated in systemd, as sysvinit is no longer supported in any way? -- damjan
[arch-general] Problem with libimobiledevice, ifuse, and idevices
Think something is broken in gvfs-afc, ifuse and friends while working with idevices. Nautilus shows me the devices in the right panel (the favorites one), both documentiation and the device itself and always show this error when trying to mont. codeMessage did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)/code I think I've done my homework on bbs, #archlinux and googling, and found the only way peopple resolved this problem was with ppas in *buntus so i want to look deeper... Also i got this from dmesg output when trying to mount manually with ifuse: code [ 105.595108] ifuse[500]: segfault at 2dd0 ip 7ff49b7efc05 sp 7ff4998e5cd8 error 4 in libimobiledevice.so.4.0.1[7ff49b7e3000+1a000] /code But the interesting part is that b Shotwell can import photos from the device /b. Surprisingly Rhytmbox cannot play music from it. In an iPad2 ( i'm going to suggest to Apple to change its name to b iCrap /b) neither Shotwell or Rhythmbox can get photos/music from the device. I'm running iOS 6.3 (latest version). Also for more info here is my uname -a, also i think is important to mention that i'm using GNOME (latest version from main repos). code Linux arch 3.9.2-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat May 11 20:31:08 CEST 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux /code I'm happy enough because i can retrieve at least the photos from the iPhone, but is annoying that this stopped to work.
