The "pain" level rising from such an implementation would surely be much more
unbearable than that felt by some users when following links to read the
content they need ;)

Re: [arch-general] MediaWiki extension and fix pull request

2014-12-16 Thread Dario Giovannetti
Honestly, I think if the Cite extension had been installed from the 
first years of the ArchWiki or so, it's very likely that today it would 
be used extensively and we would feel it like an indispensable tool.

However, what we are instead doing is use plain inline links, e.g.:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet (see [http://example.com Blog article name]), 
consectetur adipiscing

elit. Donec porta ligula eu pharetra pretium. Donec eu lacus ac purus
mattis tincidunt id in nunc. Donec rutrum turpis urna[http://example.com],
ut volutpat nisl consequat nec. Etiam in ultrices erat [http://linux.com 
Linux foundation].


Yes, this is uglier, but it's always worked ok, since, unlike on 
Wikipedia, we don't require to provide references for every single 
statement, so there shouldn't be the need to insert too many links.


That said, I would be available for discussing the installation of that 
extension, as well as several others that would greatly facilitate the 
maintenance of the wiki, but the problem is that there's not enough 
workforce (i.e. Developers) to maintain the repo even as it is now; 
consider for example the fact that the current version of MediaWiki is 
1.24, but we're still using 1.22 for undisclosed reasons; or see the 
wiki bug reports that have been opened for several months now, 
effectively discouraging opening new ones and instead making it 
necessary to find workarounds like the recently created 
MediaWiki:Archlinux.css page to fix some CSS bugs. Until the ArchWiki 
will find some more interested Developers to take care of it, I don't 
really think that any extensions will ever be installed, and that's why 
I'm trying to suggest viable alternatives like the inline links above, 
recommending to concentrate our efforts into writing the best articles 
that we can we the tools that are available now :)

 Hi guys,

 Regarding a discussion Kynikos and me had [1], it would be nice, if
 any TU could finally merge a pull request that we have been waiting
 for months[2].

 Also, Kynikos, and especially me, wanted to have a way to cite our
 sources when writing articles. I feel indeed ashamed not being able to
 cite properly articles or blog posts we based our own content on. This
 is why I'm kindly asking any TU if it would be possible to install the
 Cite extension [3] to our MediaWiki instance.

 Thanks a lot in advance.

[arch-general] [ArchWiki] Why isn't MediaWiki upgraded to 1.23?

2014-10-10 Thread Dario Giovannetti
MediaWiki 1.23.0 (LTS) was released last June, and it's now at 1.23.5 
[1], however the ArchWiki is still using the legacy 1.22 version, and 
1.23 is being pushed to a separate mw-1.23 branch [2]. Has the reason 
for this been discussed publicly, or can it be made public in this thread?

[arch-general] Drop in the number of ArchWiki registered users

2014-01-31 Thread Dario Giovannetti
I keep track of some ArchWiki statistics in [1] and I've just realized 
that in the last month we've had a 6000+ drop in the number of 
registered users, which is a number that should instead only increase, 
as we don't have tools for (mass) deleting accounts. Anybody knows what 
happened?
In the month of January, 3 commits have been made to [2], two of which 
are updates to MediaWiki: maybe one of them caused the issue?

Strange... do you know if any of these accounts belong to someone who
has made contributions? I haven't seen anyone report that they were
having issues logging in yet...
I have no idea whether those accounts had some particular properties, 
like having 0 contributions and being older than a particular date... 
I've checked in the upstream changelogs and haven't found anything 
related. In any case it would be really weird if it was a systematic 
account clean-up from upstream.
What is sure is that [3] now lists only the new number of users (~14800, 
before we had ~21000), and among them there are still users with 0 
contributions, e.g. [4]. The total number of edits hasn't dropped, so no 
revisions should have been lost.
Maybe it would be worth it if whoever has access to the ArchWiki 
database backups compared the recent ones with the current database.

Hi!

 One of my next projects will require touchscreens for
 a 'kiosk' type of application, and I'm still trying
 to find the right hardware. Any suggestions will be
 much appreciated (if they work with Arch of course).

I did a sort of kiosk application last year with an LG 1730 sf, which works 
(*) but required some tweaking, especially with regards to calibration. Can't 
remember the exact steps, right now:)

* I mean, it did what it had to do, but you need to push the screen a bit too 
much, rendering it somehow not intuitive for the final user. So, I'm not 
recommending it blindly:)

[arch-general] X server reset when I press enter (!!!)

have to resist to press the damn key. As I said, this happens in any 
applications (inkscape, NetBeans, Lyx, xterm, kmail, kwrite, anything), in KDE 
and FluxBox. I'm running NVIDIA proprietary drivers in a twinview

mtrr is new, I think is something about the default drivers for the videocard. 
But the other trace is not a news, and never caused problems. Tried to swap 
keyboard, but to no avail. My other Ubuntu partition runs fine. In order to 
replicate the bug, it's enough to try to login in GMail. Pressing Enter = 
reset.

Re: [arch-general] X server reset when I press enter (!!!)

2009-10-08 Thread Dario
Ok,
changing the display manager to SLiM makes the gmail test failing. I'm gonna 
use the system for a while, and then update.

This is, really, odd.

Thanks to everybody, your prompt answers make me feel nice:)
Does somebody know something about the trace I'm getting at the end of dmesg 
and the mtrr story?

thanks again!

Ciao!

[arch-general] Conflict with Mesa

2009-09-05 Thread Dario
Hi!

Sorry if this has already been asked or if its solution is trivial.

I got this conflict error from pacman -Syu:

mesa: /usr/include/GL/glew.h è già presente nel filesystem
mesa: /usr/include/GL/glxew.h è già presente nel filesystem
mesa: /usr/include/GL/wglew.h è già presente nel filesystem

è già presente nel filesystem = already present in filesystem

Should I happily force the update, or should I do something different? I'm 
using Nvidia binary drivers, if that matters (since it has to do with GL:))

thanks in advance!

Hi!

 I had the same conflict but nothing depended on glew, no idea why it
 was installed. That's one fix :)

Here Glew is required by Koffice.

Re: [arch-general] Firefox on Arch - crash on exit

 Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new
 window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart
 your system.

Mmm I remember something like this happening on Windows (*cough*) machines at 
school. The solution was to clear the hidden Application Data (or what is 
called) folder under Documents and Settings. Here probably is something like a 
lock file, I think.

[arch-general] Argouml and libjpeg

Hi!

I don't know if this could be useful, anyway when I try to export an image of 
a diagram in Argouml, it crashes and I get the following interesting stack

Do I have to wait for some update or so? The webstart doesn't even starts.

Re: [arch-general] Keyboad in KDE locks up

2009-03-04 Thread Dario
Hi!

Il mercoledì 04 marzo 2009 08:52:30 Jan de Groot ha scritto:
 Could be a problem with the evdev driver that freaks out on your
 keyboard. Restarting hal generates a load of new hotplug events for
 Xorg, so your keyboard gets removed from Xorg and hotplugged again,
 after which it is reinitialized.
 Is the keyboard you use PS2 or USB?

I had a simila(?) problem: suddenly special keys (page up etc.) stopped to 
work, in KDE. Solved selecting Evdev managed keyboard (or what's the 
translation in English) in the control panel - System settings - Locals (?) 
- keyboard mapping.

Hope this helps, though not sure!

bye!
