Once a package is installed from the AUR, when I do a system upgrade via Pacman, will outdated packages I installed via AUR get automatically upgraded or do I have to do all my AUR packages manually?

Re: [arch-general] Cannot set xattr

I think it's because Arch doesn't use SELinux by default, as it's mostly for ACLs. Neither selinux nor ACL have anything to do with this options. Read man 5 attr. They are often used to provide additional functionality to a filesystem - for example, additional security features such as Access Control Lists (ACLs) may be implemented using extended attributes. That's what I read. I may be wrong, of course. Priit
Re: [arch-general] Can't Install GRUB on a GPT Formatted Disk

I've applied that updated patch, and GRUB seems to install okay, but when I boot I don't get the standard GRUB menu, I just get dropped into the GRUB console...my menu.lst looks like this: # (0) Arch Linux title Arch Linux root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/mapper/system_vg-root_lv ro initrd /kernel26.img I'm a little confused on the root declarations...I'm assuming the root (hd0,0) should be pointing to the actual /boot partition, and then the root kernel parameter points to the actual / partition (in this case an LVM partition), correct? -- Aaron ElasticDog Schaefer Yes, that is correct. However, my menu.lst generated by default install has root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/longuuid, boots fine (also with lvm). I don't think it should matter, however. You can try putting the timout line there, if you don't have it there. Priit -- Priit Kivisoo
