Re: [arch-general] Thank you
Hey Kyle, Yes, I'm aware of DigitalOcean. Since many years, I used to have my own server running Arch on Hetzner and now on DigitalOcean. I used to host my ex-company's servers on Hetzner which were again Arch boxes. I personally think that Arch has the best package manager in Linux world. I now work for a different company and we recently decided to move our servers from Rackspace to AWS (and we did). The thing is neither of those providers officially support Arch. (Rackspace doesn't even support Ubuntu btw -- at least on dedicated machines) So this is really frustrating. I know that there are some efforts (AWS supported repo's, specially compiled kernels etc..) to make Arch available on AWS but they didn't last. Compiling configuring everything to make the environment possible is not an option due to time related concerns. I do my best to spread the word btw. Hopefully Arch will be the next big thing in Linux world some day. :) --- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

This is still true on the most wellknown infrastructures such as AWS. However, Arch is officially supported on DigitalOcean[1], which has had the honor of being the fastest growing server provider of the past year. They officially provide Arch images for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, available on a per hour or monthly basis, depending on which is the lower price, similar to other so-called cloud hosting platforms. As far as I know, it's not the only provider to support Arch, but it is probably one of very few, and they seem to have the best service and specs for the price. Hope this helps.

[arch-general] Multiple Wired Profiles with Systemd
Hey All, I just switched to systemd. I work on an Arch Linux Virtualbox VM which runs on Mac OS X.

Re: [arch-general] Arch as a web server
Hey There, As a Turkish digital social agency and a startup, we have recently converted all our physical production servers to seperate Arch Linux VM's. That not just saved us a lot money but also gave us the flexibility of a primitive cloud. Being cutting edge led us to always support the upstream and we experience no problems at all. IMHO it's hard to create and maintain deb packages. Most common pattern is to find another project's deb files and change accordingly. In Arch, you mostly have a single PKGBUILD file which is super easy to create and modify. This saves lots of worktime when we need a dependency which is not packaged. And contributing the distro (via AUR) is a plus. :) --- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Re: [arch-general] avahi problem
I did. However I found out that there's not much difference in the case of host resolution. When hosts line is like the following: $ cat /etc/nsswitch.conf | grep hosts hosts: files dns I can ping office.local from other machines on the network. If I change that line like this: hosts: files mdns4_minimal dns mdns4 then I realized that host resolution is a little bit more slower. Connecting via SSH takes 3-4 seconds longer. Even if I change the line like this, office.local becomes inaccessible after a few minutes. I tried enabling avahi-dnsconfd which also made no difference. --- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

[arch-general] cannot generate enough entropy for pacman-key --init
Hey There, I have an Arch Linux box inside Virtualbox on a Mac that I use for development purposes. I connect to this machine via SSH without any visual interface. It's on [testing] and just upgraded to pacman 4.0 and after installation it asked me to run pacman-key --init to generate the necessary keys for my system. I did all of these inside GNU Screen (also tried without it without any luck): $ sudo pacman-key --init gpg: Generating pacman keychain master key... Not enough random bytes available. Please do some other work to give the OS a chance to collect more entropy! (Need 300 more bytes) I pressed random bits with the keyboard but it didn't work so I fired up another window inside screen and did cat /dev/urandom /dev/null but that also didn't work. So I found this [1] article and tried it again without any luck. So I'm basically stuck here. Can someone please help me? Since pacman is bricked, I can't also install anything.

Hello, As I wrote earlier, I don't have a mouse interface at all since I'm accessing the Arch box via SSH on my Mac. I checked the entropy level via cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_level and it was around 58 at most. So I installed rng-tools, changed TIMEOUT in /etc/conf.d/rngd from 0 to 10. When I ran rngd -f -r /dev/urandom and ran pacman-key --init, it completed in seconds. Issue solved. This is probably about being inside a VM which limits the entropy level somehow. --- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Hello, I am now trying netcfg for managing network connections, however
I encountered some problems, and I didn't find the solution in the
manual or the ArchWiki. So I wonder whether a complete documentation is
available.
The two problems I encountered are:
1. Ad-Hoc wireless lost ESSID.
I used this (working) script to connect:
#!/bin/bash
NET_ESSID=ssid
NET_KEY=passwd
NET_GATEWAY=192.168.0.1
NET_MYIP=192.168.0.3
iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 essid $NET_ESSID key s:$NET_KEY channel auto
ifconfig wlan0 $NET_MYIP
route add default gw $NET_GATEWAY
I tried to do the same with netcfg. Here is the profile:
CONNECTION='wireless'
DESCRIPTION='Wi-Fi at home'
PRE_UP=ip link set wlan0 down; iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc
INTERFACE='wlan0'
SECURITY='wep'
ESSID='ssid'
KEY='s:passwd'
IP='static'
ADDR='192.168.0.2' # Please ignore this difference, I'm sure it's unused
GATEWAY='192.168.0.1'
DNS=('8.8.8.8')
# Uncomment this if your ssid is hidden
#HIDDEN=yes
However, I cannot connect it. I've configured my conky to monitor
network connections, from what it showed, the ESSID is associated first,
then lost after a few seconds.
2. PPPOE won't start by itself.
Here's the simple profile:
CONNECTION='ppp'
INTERFACE='eth0'
PEER='provider'
PPP_TIMEOUT=10
When I run `sudo netcfg ppp`, it just got stuck there. Then I opened
another terminal, and ping some IP, then it got connected.
Thank you. These two problems have been bothering me for a week.

Re: [arch-general] Gnome 3 + KDE 4 are both large disappointments.
Hello Fellow Archers, Most people say that Arch is cutting edge and saving GNOME2 as gnome2 is not the the Arch way. I know that packaging and maintaining GNOME2 is a hard task that no devs would want to take care of and that we'll most likely be seeing unofficial repositories but what about python? Despite the upstream python is 3.x, we still have python2 for failback? So is that the Arch way? I believe there's no need to say that preserving GNOME2 is not the Arch way. It's also unreliable and unwanted to use the unstable repository to test GNOME3 since it's probably not ready for end users imho. We'll see better integration soon. --- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Most python programmers are clearly not so interested in the

most problems are rather easy to workaround... so i don't know why
there is so much fuss about py3k. personally, i welcome it; clean up
basic language constructs, do it all at once, and make everything more
consistent. consistency is a wonderful thing for a developer.
even the print statement is easy:
print('this is a test')
works correctly in python2 and py3k... only when you add multiple
args, does it break:
print('this is a test', 'so is this')
because in python the comma is the tuple operator, not parentheses.
all you have to do is join you args together before sending to print.
or, just use:
sys.stdout.write()
thought some changes are more difficult, ultimately, it's not that
disruptive imo. it's clearly the path forward; no use in dragging

Result for me: Having the abs tree on my disk (or looking at repos.archlinux.org) is the best solution to find out who maintains a package.-) The best way to know who _currently_ maintains a package is looking at archlinux.org/packages/ because new maintainer may not always change the # Maintainer tag right away. Note: A pacman -Si firefox shows this Packager : Unknown Packager.
Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] maintainers wanted
I want to contribute Arch as a developer too... Please count me in.. :) Alper KANAT http://raptiye.org Giovanni Scafora yazmış: 2008/6/14, JJDaNiMoTh [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm glad for your interesting ( it's beatiful see users interested on distribuition's developing ), but I hope that the searching of new devs ( if it really happens ) starts from TUs, as is usual. +1 I agree. I'm interested too.
Re: [arch-general] Can we use the Firefox name?
As a user, I really dislike the name Iceweasel... I really dislike its logo and so on... Please don't change it unless you have to..

If you ask it to me, I think we can not: Mike Connor (a Mozilla guy :) said here [1]: Firefox (the name) is equally protected and controlled by the same trademark policy and legal requirements as the Firefox logo. You're free to use any other name for the browser bits, but calling the browser Firefox requires the same approvals as are required for using the logo and other artwork. [...] If you are going to use the Firefox name, you must also use the rest of the branding. Mozilla may say that we are lying to users, because the name is named firefox, but it doesn't contain Firefox. Discuss! And I just found this old bug report: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/5795 I don't know why I missed it the first time I searched for it.
[arch-general] Arch Linux Turkish Community Announcement
Hey All, We, as the Turkish users of Arch Linux, have created our own community to support, to translate, to develop our very beloved Linux distro on all platforms. As our first gift to the community, we have translated pacman completely to Turkish. It's also being tested by our community right now. We set http://www.archlinuxtr.org as our web site (it's currently under development) and have SVN, Trac projects (still being configured). We also have #archlinux.tr on irc.freenode.net We look forward to see anyone commenting, helping, cheering, donating and of course contributing our work. Cheers..! -- Alper KANAT http://raptiye.org
Re: [arch-general] thunderbird 2.0.0.14: Don't see attachments anymore
Once again, we came to a conclusion that thunderbird-2.0.0.14 should have stayed in [testing] for a while until it's stable enough to make it into [extra].. Alper KANAT http://raptiye.org Allan McRae yazmış: For those wanting to work around this while waiting for an official solution: gcc-42 package (i686): http://allan.mcrae.googlepages.com/gcc-42-4.2.3-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz gcc-42 PKGBUILD: http://allan.mcrae.googlepages.com/PKGBUILD (not x86_64 tested but I think it should work) This installs alongside gcc-4.3. add these lines the the thunderbird PKGBUILD then build... export CC=gcc-4.2 export CXX=g++-4.2 Or you can install gcc-34 from the official repos and try that. I can't upload a thunderbird build as the file size is bigger than googlepages allows (and I like mozilla branding which I can't distribute). Allan
[arch-general] Anyone using fprint for authentication ?
Hey There, I want to use my fingerprint scanner to login through GDM and GNOME Screensaver... I can do this right now partially... It always asks for my password which is maybe secure but annoying at the same time.. I want to use fingerprint login first and if it fails then I want to use password login.. Any ideas for how to do this ? I'm trying this in GNOME Screensaver but it asks for the password whenever I slide my finger on the scanner.. -- Alper KANAT http://raptiye.org
