Re: [arch-general] Chromium default browser
2010/3/24 Nilesh Govindarajan li...@itech7.com:
Hi,
Works for me, It opens all links into chrome.
What did you type in it ?
I typed simply chromium where I previously had firefox.
I have nothing but the executable name in there ('chromium' for the
package from [extra] or 'chromium-browser for the chromium-browser-bin
from AUR).
Kind regards,

Re: [arch-general] encfs boost and openssl
2010/3/9 Manne Merak manneme...@gmail.com: Hi Manne, I have problems with the latest update and EncFS. Did check out the bug reports at Arch and EncFS and after downgrading Boost to 1.41 I now do not get the config file reading error anymore. Unfortunately trying to decode my data results in Error decoding volume key, password incorrect, my password is definitely correct. I downgraded OpenSSL to 0.9.8k-3, still no luck. Does anyone have the correct combination of EncFS, Boost, OpenSSL and whatnotelse to get my data back? Using encfs-1.5-6, boost-1.41.0-2 and openssl-0.9.8m-2 and that works for me.

I can create new ones fine with that combination, but have trouble with mounting old ones. Would you mind sending me the header of your .encfs6.xml file, I would like to see what the version must be. Yes, this volume was created a year ago or so, and broke last week after boost + encfs upgrade. Downgrading to the versions I mentioned before made things work again.

Re: [arch-general] KDE 4.3 no power functions ?
2010/1/27 Nilesh Govindarajan li...@itech7.com: I recently installed KDE 4.3.4 The Leave section in the menu doesn't have power functions like shutdown and restart. How to solve this ? Do you use KDM as display manager? If yes, check in the Login configuration (System Settings-Login screen-Shutdown tab) that your user is actually allowed to do things like that. Also GTK apps are appearing very ugly, any suggestions ? You should probably install a GTK theme. QtCurve is a possibility, very flexible and provides a uniform theme among KDE3, KDE4 and GTK applications. When you installed that, create a link inside your home directory: cd ~ ln -s /usr/share/themes/QtCurve/gtk-2.0/gtkrc .gtkrc-2.0 Kind regards, -- Bram Schoenmakers What is mind? No matter.

[arch-general] Trouble with RaLink RT2561/RT61
Hello, From time to time, my network shows some poor performance. My 64 bit Arch Linux box is connected with a wireless connections with a RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI, the system is up-to-date. The symptoms are: * Looking up a website takes very long, or it will never load at all. Only in Chromium snapshot, Firefox loads the same page instantly at the same time. However, some videos on Youtube load for 25% and refuse to continue to fetch more (in both browsers). * Kopete is unable to keep a connection with either MSN or my Jabber accounts. They simply time out. * SSH connections drop dead (or are interrupted for minutes). No high traffic involved at all. The problem does not always occur, at some days I have a good connection, but sometimes the symptoms above occur. I suspected it had something to do with IPv6, but disabling it did not have any effect. I don't think it's interference either, the connection to the router is quite healthy: normal response time, 0% packet loss (also with servers outside my network), download rates are often at their max. I also have a laptop with 32 bit Arch Linux installed, using the Atheros wireless drivers. It also runs Chromium and doesn't show any problems whatsoever, on the same network. When I run tcpdump on both machines, I see many lines like 12:09:37.134509 00:30:3f:50:19:e5 (oui Unknown) 00:18:f8:45:10:c3 (oui Unknown), ethertype Unknown (0x05ec), length 1530 where 00:30:3f:50:19:e5 is the wireless router (unsure about the other MAC, I'm on a shared network). My laptop shows seems to capture much more of these messages than my PC does, not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. Could it be a driver issue? I'm tending to think that is the case, actually. Any other hints are very appreciated. Kind regards, -- Bram Schoenmakers What is mind? No matter. What is matter? Never mind. (Punch, 1855)
Re: [arch-general] Plasma segmentation faults
2009/10/6 Lars Tennstedt o...@larstennstedt.de: Hi Lars, On one desktop the task bar shows this. 1st row |firefox| 2nd row |firefox| Then I switched to another desktop and then back again. The taskbar shows this now. 1st row | ||firefox| 2nd row |firefox| On the first position of the the first row there appears an empty field. A few seconds later plasma crashes. I'd suggest to report this bug at http://bugs.kde.org . Please double check if it hasn't been reported before. I did a quick lookup over there but couldn't find something which looks like your problem. But, keep in mind that a crash report is useless without a backtrace, so I'd recommend to rebuild your packages with debug symbols if you do so. Kind regards, -- Bram Schoenmakers What is mind?

Re: [arch-general] Plasma segmentation faults
2009/10/6 Lars Tennstedt o...@larstennstedt.de: Hi Lars, Hello, Plasma crashes several times a day on my Arch Linux installation (32 bit) with a segmentation fault and recovers immediately. The problem has been occured since the release of version 4.3.0. I did not remember such a problem using version 4.2.x. My system is up-to-date, installed software is taken only from the official repositories core, extra and community, the desktop effects are enabled and the graphics card driver is the nvidia closed source one. There is no bug report about this on bugs.archlinux.org. Does anybody have similar problems? Bye, Lars Tennstedt It's hard to say what could cause this. Do you have any (3rd-party?) plasmoids installed? Maybe it is caused by a misbehaving C++ Plasmoid, so try to remove them one after another and see if the crashes disappear. Obtaining a backtrace is also handy in order to locate where the problem is. But that requires you to rebuild the kdelibs and kdebase packages, which may be time consuming. Or, you could try if you see the same problem with kdemod, they offer debug packages straight from the repository. For the record, I have no problems with Plasma on two very different machines (32bit and 64bit), both running KDEmod. Kind regards, -- Bram Schoenmakers What is mind? No matter. What is matter?

Re: [arch-general] 2 annoying bugs in kde
Op dinsdag 30 juni 2009 17:50:21 schreef Edgar Kalkowski: Hi Edgar, I am using current KDE 4.2.4 from core and am experiencing these two little things that are not really disturbing but rather annoying: 1) Every time I quit okular it crashes and shows a crash message. A quick search of the web brought up that this was “a minor regression in kdelibs“ and should be fixed by now (sorry, I don’t remember the actual site I read this on). So my question is: Is anyone experiencing the same problem and has a fix? Or do we really just need to wait for an update of KDE? If so: Is an update planned or do we have to wait for 4.3 or 4.2.5? Are you using the QtCurve theme by chance? With version 0.65.0 I had the same problem (also Gwenview crashed), but after the update to 0.65.0 I haven't seen this anymore. Maybe it could have been another update I did in the meantime, but I think QtCurve could cause such problems. Kind regards, -- Bram Schoenmakers What is mind? No matter. What is matter? Never mind.

I've installed kdemod3-kdelibs-debug and I will gather a new backtrace to submit. Thank you for your help! First of all, http://bugs.archlinux.org is not the right place for this crash. It's written and packaged outside the official Arch Linux project. The splash screen does not seem to have a dedicated website or bug tracker, so I'd suggest to mail the author directly, and attach the backtrace with more details (so kdemod3-kdelibs-debug provides that).

If you do so, I'd suggest to install kdemod3-kdelibs-debug and create a new backtrace, before you submit it. As a sidenote, the problem could be triggered by a packaging problem, for instance that the translations are not properly included. Just a shot in the dark. To work around this problem right now, I'd suggest to change the splash screen in the KDE Control Centre.
