[arch-general] Gnome Shell suspend-then-hibernate

2019-01-09 Thread Frank Zimmermann
Good evening,

inspired by a previous thread when Gnome 3.30 introduced suspend-then-
hibernate I did setup hibernation on my laptop. By the time I did this
Gnome reverted to the standard suspend, probably by the critics
received. So I added the following line to my logind.conf
IdleAction=suspend-then-hibernate

This worked fine until recently the system won't no longer suspend then
hibernate when Gnome Shell is running. A manual systemctl suspend-then-
hibernate works as expected. I've checked in dconf editor and there's
no option to choose suspend-then-hibernate. 

I for my self find this function quite neat since the laptop is quite
often sitting long periods without being in use.

Any ideas if there's possibility to gain this function with gnome back?

Thanks Frank

I've tried killall firefox and kill -9 PID. Will wait for 4.19.2 before
giving this kernal another try, now happy with 4.18.16

[arch-general] Kernel 4.19 preventing Firefox from playing videos

2018-11-14 Thread Frank Zimmermann
Good evening,

I have a very strange issue with kernel 4.19.1 With this kernel Firefox
no longer plays any videos. It opens the page but the video wont play.
It gets even worse when I open another tab. This will freeze Firefox
though system load is ok. But I cannot kill Firefox, even logging off
and on will keep it running in the background. Only way to stop it is a
reboot and shutdown will take approx 10 to 15 mins for various stop
jobs running. just downgraded to Kernel 4.18.19 and things are fine.
I'm running Gnome on a Thinkpad X201.

[arch-general] rtlwifi

2018-09-26 Thread Frank Zimmermann
Good afternoon,

my log is flooded with these messages:
Sep 26 09:09:45 defiant kernel: rtl8192se: switch case 0x5e not
processed
Sep 26 09:09:54 defiant kernel: rtlwifi: AP off, try to reconnect now 

Approx everey 10 sec there's a new entry. My wifi connection is quite
buggy even when close to the router, so am not sure if that might be a
reason.

My favourite search engine came up with some links suggesting that
these module options will help:
options rtl8192se fwlps=0 ips=0 swlps=0 swenc=1

However, I do not see any difference with them.

any ideas how to get around this?

I've extracted the most current Windows diver but to be honest don't

Thought about the theme as wellbut a switch didn't help. Puled the update today 
and nothing was happening. Moved the geary folder and configured it new and now 
it's getting weird. I'm using IMAP with 2 different mail providers. The snyc 
with web.de is fine but not with the freenet.de account. All I see is the 
outbox folder :-OKR Frank

[arch-general] Geary

2014-10-20 Thread frank . zimmermann . berlin
Hi there,

I'm running Openbox and use Geary as mail client. Since the appearance of Gnome 
3.14 in stable Geary remains blank. I don't see my mail folder or mails at all. 
Not sure if Geary is connecting to the mail server at all since there is no 
feedback.

I've deleted /etc/pacman.d/gnupg and started from scratch, now it seems
to work.

Did that, how long is pacman-key --init supposed to run? After approx 
30min with no changes in /etc/pacman.d/gnupg I stopped it and tried to

Good evening,

I'm having trouble with my pacman-keyring which in the end prevents me 
from installing signed packages. Here's the output:

pacman-key --populate archlinux
==> Appending keys from archlinux.gpg...
==> Locally signing trusted keys in keyring...
 -> Locally signing key FOO
==> ERROR: FOO could not be locally signed.

Any hints?

Thanks Frank

I think I got it:-) alsa-restore.service is not run at boot. When I set
the sound in alsamixer, save it with alsactl store and reboot followed
by manually executing
sudo systemctl start alsa-restore.service
the settings are correct. Now I need to figure out why it's not done
automagicaly at boot.

[arch-general] Sound problems

2013-01-31 Thread Frank Zimmermann
Good evening,

I'm having troubles getting sound to work aftereach reboot. I've
followed the instructions from the wiki. But after each reboot I need to
run alsamixer -> selct the soundcard by pressing F6 -> and then have to
increase the volume of the speaker. When invoking 
systemctl enable alsa-restore.service and 
systemctl enable alsa-store.service
I do get the following error messsage:

The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be
enabled
using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another
unit's
   .wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which
has
   a requirement dependency on it.
3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path,
timer,
   D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
... and it starts from the beginning after the next reboot.

BTW it doesn't help when I change the settings in /etc/asound.conf from
pulseaudio to the hw device.

Thanks for any help
Frank
