[arch-general] Check for update in script
Hi I can't find a good way to check for available upgrades without touching the database, as running `pacman -Sy` without `u` isn't supported. Any idea ? Maybe a new pacman switch like --upstreamdbpath to toggle change the location of sync/ without touching local/ ? Why I need it : https://github.com/XavierBerger/RPi-Monitor/pull/57#issuecomment-55248969 Yamakaky

In your use case, you can probably specify an alternative db path using the --dbpath switch in pacman. In this case, I believe RTFM is an appropiate response. :) Hope it helps. -- Savyasachee Jha *Aerodynamics is for people whodon't know how to build engines.*

[arch-general] Fail to use optirun when using bumblebee 3.2.1-3
Hi all,
I installed bumblebee to support my nvidia GT-620m card, but failed to use
optirun sometimes. Here are some details.
When I use optirun firefox, it works fine. But when I use it to launch
wine osu!.exe(a game), it fails. and I got these outputs:
/-

Then I tried optirun --debug glxgears, it also failed to start. The ouputs
were:

optirun glxspheres{32,64} got the almost same outputs above.
I googled 358: GL_ARB_pixel_buffer_object extension not available, only got
this[1], which was useless for me. I also googled :8 is indirect, which may
cause performance to suffer, but got nothing helpful as well.
Here are some more details.

[arch-general] hp myroom
Hi, I'm trying to use HP myRoom tool: https://www.myroom.hp.com It's pretty similar to HP virtualRooms tool: https://www.rooms.hp.com There's an AUR package for hpvirtualrooms: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hpvirtualrooms And attached goes a package (essentially the PKGBUILD) I created for hpmyroom. myRoom is supposed to be based on the virtualRooms technology. With virtualRooms I don't have any problems getting whatever is shared from the virtual rooms. With myRoom I can use the VoIP functionality, I can chat, I can share desktop, and from my room I can also share desktop. Weird enough, I can not get what others share to me on myRoom, or others' room shares. What I see is something popping up really quick and disappearing in a blink of an eye. I'm not using any DE, just a plain WM (fluxbox), so perhaps it might be some configuration missing, or some permissions issue. I also attempted xhost+, with no success. Though I didn't expect anything great from that, given I don't need it for virtualRooms. I'm writing in case there's any Arch user that can help. On ubuntu with gnome this thing works out of the box, and I'm getting the hpmyroom binaries from the deb package (there's also rpm).

[arch-general] [Berlin]ArchLinux User Group
Hello everyone, I have seen an increased interests in Arch Linux by a lot of users lately. While I'm already exchanging with some of my friends regards this a lot, more and more are coming. So I thought about create a (for now) monthly appointment where we can met to talk, help and work on ArchLinux or just be around. It should be nothing special. On the 1 of October I like you to invite everyone to the first ArchLinux User Group meeting in Berlin. At least the first I'm with me ';-). I hope to host it in the c-base[1]. There will be no agenda and no plan for this. Just bring yourself. The only thing that you have to take care: to be excellent to each other! Feel free to join us on the IRC on Freenode #Archlinux-berlin [1]https://c-base.org/ best regards Akendo
[arch-general] fbpanel tclock font colour
Hi,
is it possible to change the colour of fbpanel tclock's font?
span style=color:whitefoo/span seems not to work. With the
below-mentioned settings the font is black, but I need white.
$ cat .config/fbpanel/default
# [snip]
Plugin {
type = tclock
config {
ClockFmt = span font=Sans 12b%H:%M/b/span
# 2 line view, time in bold above and date below
#ClockFmt = span font=Sans 12b%H:%M/b #xA;%A, %d %b %Y/span
TooltipFmt = %A, %d %b %Y
#Action = orage
ShowCalendar = true
ShowTooltip = true
}
}
