I also tried to manually start, e.g., mdadm --monitor /dev/md0, and get a segmentation fault there, too. Since this did not happen before the kernel upgrade and mdadm interacts rather closely with the kernel, I suspect that some change in the latest kernel is to blame for this. Did anybody else run into the same problem? Where would I start debugging it? Downgrade to 2.6.37.5/6 and confirm it's the kernel. Then search for a bug, join the bug report, or file one. I had this on my to-do list already, but I appreciate the suggestion. Now, the good news is: it's not the kernel, as the same thing happens with the kernel I was running previously: 2.6.37.5. The bad news: it still happens, and I think I know the culprit. mdadm was upgraded along with my kernel upgrade. So occam's razor suggests the new version of mdadm itself is to blame for the segfault. Unfortunately, while I diligently keep old versions of my kernel package, I don't have the previous version of mdadm lying around to investigate this further. Any suggestions? And things got even stranger just now, with a silver lining. The version of mdadm found in [core] is 3.2.1. ABS, on the other hand, still has the old version (3.1.5). Isn't ABS supposed to be the official source tree for the official repos? Maybe I misunderstand the relationship between ABS and the repos. abs is synchronized once a day -- Ionuț

When Adwaita looked like crap in fallback mode, I've used Mist for a long while. 3. Design choice, Mac OS X has this too and in the view of gnome-shell, this is a logic choice. The control-center with grouped applet view already existed for a long time in 2.x versions also, but only SuSE used it I think. 4. Fallback mode is just like classic GNOME in looks, though you have the new theming and new apps. I used fallback mode for a long while and I'm still forced to do so on this desktop, the step from 2.x to 3.x in fallback mode is very small 5. Applets are not nice, but for the icons and things that were ported to the new panel-applet API, you can just press alt while right-clicking your panel to add it like you used to do. i noticed that "alt" doesn't work after migrating the settings from gnome 2.32 to gnome 3 but it will work fine in a new profile.

I have other facilities on my system that require sound to transcend multiple users like speech dispatcher and screen reader applications that are adversely affected by using pulse audio. I wonder if I could just find and build the sound preferences portion myself with my own package without using pulse? I understand that once pulse is running, you can't use ALSA or anything else at the same time. lets not start a rant about this. This is what gnome decided long time ago and we actually patched (and is not the arch way) that out to provided gstreamer support over pulse. Gnome project relies on sound-theme-freedesktop as the default theme from it. For some reasons they removed the login and logout sound and many more to replace it. That happened more that 1 year ago. If you want sounds, try search a sound theme on gnome-look.org Actually, I have the borealis package tarball here and was figuring to install it. It is just the sound files though so I need to know how to tell GNOME where to find these files and associate them with the appropriate events. It is these sound events I can't find in GNOME to assign the files. now that i'm thinking more about it there should be under the volume control a drop down list labeled as Sound theme (and have as entries No sound and Default) and below that where you can select the alert sound. The most annoying thing is that you can't modify the alert sound volume (that is available only with pulse). -- Ionuț

It works because the patents are granted perpetually to OIN members that have jointed before the closing date, even in the case of a sell (like occurred in this case). You don't need to have patents or be a company to join (for free) OIN. Any project (like Arch Linux), or even an individual can do it.

Re: [arch-general] [pam/consolekit] Help needed for desktop permission handling
On 11/21/2010 04:55 PM, Andreas Radke wrote: Recent display managers (gdm, kdm and lxdm) can handle their own polkit/consolekit session through pam access. The gnome/xfce4-session packages only have basic access to consolekit and since the consolekit 0.4.2 in testing they can't deal with it anymore. indeed in consolekit 0.4.2 the default behavior is to not trust anyone unless is specified by a third party like gdm/kdm/etc. For other we need to authorized them using pam As a workaround I have plans to ship files in xfce4-session as proto files where the admin can add users or groups to allow certain actions: /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/org.freedesktop.upower.pkla and /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/org.freedesktop.consolekit.pkla and maybe one for udisk something like https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=42669 . This could also be done each in the consolekit/upower/udisks packages. the last one we rejected https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/21029 couples of weeks ago.

Two possibilities: a) Throw away iwconfig(wireless-tools package) from rc.d/network and use wap_supplicant only. wpa_supplicant could of course do all the things iwconfig is for. b) Let the user decide wihich wireless framework.

Re: [arch-general] APM and GNOME

I just added hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda to /etc/rc.local and the problem was gone. Then I found out that whenever I used gnome-power-manager it would set the APM to 1 if the power source is the battery. I didn't find a way to instruct it to leave the APM setting alone, so I avoided using it. Recently I installed GNOME in my box and noticed that even if I disable gnome-power-manager at startup, some piece of GNOME is still setting APM to 1 when the netbook is on the battery. I don't use laptop-mode-tools nor is acpid running which brings me the question: what is messing up with APM? How can I tell GNOME and gnome-power-manager not to change its settings?

I can't find anything on it with google and I've upgraded my system a couple of times since, but it still isn't working. Anybody who knows what might cause this? because hal is not used by xorg anymore since long time ago. http://www.archlinux.org/news/502/ -- Ionuț
