I'd have to check, but if there was a soname bump on the last update, things might not be linked correctly. Does recompiling the affected programs help?

Re: [arch-general] Colorized Output Listing
for root, you need to create it yourself. it will be created for users you add to the system however. if you do create one for root, you'll have to create a .bash_profile file as well that sources it for it to actually work automagically on login.

and if you want even more color (colorized output for common cli apps), install cope!

Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] devtools and db-scripts plans
- allow db-move to handle multiple packages
(or add a script to help moving from community-testing)
We should kill these testing2whatever scripts and unify it completely in
db-move (including the testing2x case where the right repository is
automatically determined). Short-term it would probably suffice to
create community-testing2community.
Ask and ye shall receive. Attached is a patch db-move that incorporates
the ability to handle multiple packages and cleans up the whitespaces. I
know the whitespace patch should technically be separate but I had such
a hard time reading db-move when I was editing it that I had to include
it for my own sanity. Note: my patch hasn't been tested beyond echoing
output to the screen... but it should work.

Really?! I had no idea compiling chromium needed that much space. One reason why I like Arch: It's easy to stay close to upstream, to work with them, and to kick butt if necessary. Regards, Philipp I agree that we should have a TU-maintained build of chrome/chromium, but as Ionut pointed out the current build process is a little ridiculous. Once it has stabilized and matured a little bit more I will be happy to maintain it. My wife uses it religiously so I have a good incentive to keep it clean and current. :P
Re: [arch-general] Arch Linux Magazine
Loui Chang wrote: Hey guys. I'm just curious. What's going on with the magazine? Is there any intent to revive it? I know that I'd look forward to news/forum summaries at least if there isn't time for all the other stuff. Cheers. I received the above email from Loui on the 31st and have been putting a good deal of thought into the current magazine/newsletter situation. As many of you know, Kensai recently moved and got married and I recently moved and have been trying to find a job. Shortly before receiving this email, Kensai and I had discussed the issue, but we didn't come to any real decisions. Hence, I'm sending my thoughts to the community and letting you in on the discussion. One of the possibilities that was brought up was separating the newsletter and magazine, much as it was when I first started AUM. I do not believe this is a good course of action due to one of the main reasons for the merger: the licensing rights to the Arch name and logo. While the magazine did well on its own, I simply can't afford to maintain the domain and server for it without help from the community, but I can't accept financial contributions for said project as long as it is using Arch branding. On the other hand, leaving it the way it is is proving difficult. I don't know Kensai's current situation, but I'm seeing less and less of him online which makes submission of any completed magazine/newsletter issues difficult as he is the only one with upload rights to the server currently on staff. My situation has settled down enough that I am now able to dedicate the time necessary to continue production of the magazine/newsletter as I used to. In fact, I have a good bit of content ready for the next release, whenever that becomes possible. I would like to see the magazine/newsletter make a comeback to where we were when we left off and then some. I want to see more community contributions, writers, I'd like to get the Schwag report back (Dusty, that's you if you're still up to it), etc. This is a big project that has greatly benefited our community and I hate to see it in it's current state. Please let me know what you all think so that we can expedite the release of another issue! @Kensai: Let me know what your current situation is (I know how being a newlywed is, been there a few times now...), and either way, best of luck (hopefully your luck is better than my first attempt was).

Yes, I know this, but what I suggest is to fix in in a different way: installing it as part of filesystem and fix packages to not install it. Or just install /var/empty/.$pkgname or something silly like that And then defeat the purpose of having a completely empty directory? Is it actually required to be completely empty? I thought it was just assumed to be empty, but that wasn't a requisite In some, if not all, situations it is required to be completely empty.

Done test builds with both, my wife is currently using a slightly modified version of XFCE, LXDE is prettier out of the box but harder to configure. XFCE isn't pretty at all out of the box, but is much easier to configure, has more options, and can be made pretty enough relatively easily. If you want a floating window manager, I still recommend Openbox. Welcome to Arch, and the forums generally get more replies to questions (and many questions are already answered there).

Moreover, it was just to see how I could do it, but I don't think using Lua is a good idea if other people have to help (maybe Bash ?). I just posted a proof of concept that does basic checking for packages marked out of date in bash. I'd say your method is more elegant, but whatever. I just wanted to see if I could do it. At some point in time I'll expand it to do upstream checking (probably through a -u switch or something). As of now, it will either display its output to the command line or, if passed -n, through the notification daemon.

Re: [arch-general] AUR Search
Andrei Thorp wrote: Hello there! Today, I'd like to be all complainy about the AUR search feature. I haven't really looked around, but are there plans to improve it? Or is the solution just "use google with site://"? It seems to be kind of bad at finding stuff. Some examples: - Can't search by description (well, it does search by description by default, but it's not in the advanced options anywhere) - Can't really do any decent multi-word searches afaik. To take an example from the other argument thread, try searching for "java gstreamer". It finds neither gstreamer-java nor java-gstreamer. It actually finds nothing at all. - Similarly, wildcards seem to not work. "java*gstreamer" has no results. - It seems to not even do exact matches first. For example, search for my package, "sup". There is a package in AUR that's exactly named "sup", but if you search for that, you get 658 results, sorted alphabetically! - Which reminds me, what about sorting by relevance somehow? Perhaps sort by a weighting of votes, age, downloads, etc. I'm sorry if I'm bringing this up as someone's already writing improvements for AUR and this is just a waste of time :) Anyway, thanks!

Re: [arch-general] Best way to clone install (package selection to another box?)
David C. Rankin wrote:
Listmates:
If I want to clone my package selection to another box, is there a
better way
to do it other than just parsing the files in /var/cache/pacman/pkg to generate
a list to feed to pacman after install on the second box? Something like:
for i in $(find /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ -type f); do
TMP=${i##*/}
FILE=${TMP%%-[[:digit:]]*}
echo $FILE >> ~/linux/INSTALLED
done
Then after install on the new box:
pacman --sync --refresh
pacman --sync $( < ~/linux/INSTALLED)
--or--
while read file; do
pacman --sync $file
done < ~/linux/INSTALLED
I've picked around a bit and can't find a pacman option that is
somewhat the
equivalent to rsync's '--files-from' that would allow me to read the list to
pass to pacman directly from a file. I don't know if pacman can do something
like this or how many files it can handle at once if the list of files is piped
or redirected to it. I don't think the second while loop would work either from
a dependency perspective, and, the repeated calls to pacman would make it slow
as hell.
What's the current thinking on the best way to do something like this?
If you're looking for something simple, I have a script in the AUR
called Packup that allows you to backup and restore installed packages.
