Hi list, I have a favor to ask to those that are currently testing Gnome 3.14. In gnome 3.12 I am having problems with user switching, which is quite important for me. In particular, I had this annoying bug [1] since I installed Gnome in this computer. When Xorg 1.16 came out, it broke completely

[arch-general] How to track packages dropped from the repos?

2014-04-19 Thread Lorenzo Bandieri
Hi list, Sometimes packages are silently dropped from the repos. This happened for example in the last few days with mash 0.2.0-3, which apparently I installed as a dependency for gnome (I guess it is no longer required). I follow arch-general, arch-dev-public and aur-general, and as far as I know

Hi everyone, Yesterday I upgraded Libreoffice from 3.5.5-1 to 3.5.6-1, and I started to notice problems opening several *.ppt files. When I double click on the ppt, an "ASCII Filter Options" popup appears - I never saw this popup before. Anyway, I have to click "Ok" for Libreoffice to start import
