Re: [arch-general] PKGBUILD help
Seems to me like you'd like an aur tool like 'yaourt' -- then it'd be as simple as 'yaourt -S joe'. Their homepage has installation instructions you can copy and paste as well.

No, it's as you say -- under the More button, there is a 'Mute' button that will simply mute the thread. This is built into gmail. Tim

[arch-general] Character encoding on new install
Hello! I seem to have an issue with my character encoding in a new arch install. Here [0] [1] are a couple screenshots. I have locales set correctly in /etc/locale.gen: en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 en_US ISO-8859-1 and according to 'locale', all my variables seem to be in order: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= It happens in terminals (sakura, urxvt, xterm) and also in firefox for some characters. I'm at a loss for where to go on this, any ideas? Thanks! Tim [0] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3232776/mc-encoding.png [1] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3232776/encoding.png

Thank you! After checking the environs of the different processes, it seems all of them had LANG= -- so a quick reboot fixed it. I guess after I generated the locales, I needed to relog at least (but did a restart just to be sure.) All working now! Thank you. Tim
