[arch-general] makepkg not working in chrooted environment

2010-10-21 Thread Norbert Zeh
Hi folks, I am running a 32-bit chroot on my 64-bit system, and I'm trying to build a few packages from AUR inside the 32-bit chroot. When I run makepkg inside the chroot, it complains about dependencies not being satisfied, even though the dependencies are installed inside the chroot (and in the

[arch-general] Setuptools broken?

2010-10-19 Thread Norbert Zeh
Hi folks, With the python upgrade from 2.7 to 3.1, I ran into the following snag. gitosis from AUR depends on python and setuptools. Now, python = python3.1 now and setuptools installs in the python2.7 library tree. This was easy enough to fix, by simply replacing python with python2 in the gitos

Hi folks, I've just run into a strange problem. In order to highlight terminal windows that require my attention, I make the application running in the window beep, and I have set xterm*bellIsUrgent:true. The problem: xterm seems to simply ignore this setting. I can also go into the xterm menu

2010-10-07 Thread Norbert Zeh
Hi archers, I've just made one of my machines an arch box, and one thing that gave me headaches no end was setting up dovecot on it. In my setup I'm using PAM authentication with a passwd userdb. So no reliance on mysql or postgreql. When installing dovecot, pacman informs me that I may want to

I just had a look at the Windows 7 features and didn't see anything that suggests the Linux world has lost the UI war. It is probably true that the eye candy looks more polished on OS X/Vista/7 than on anything the Linux world has to offer. (In fact, this is what lured me into the Mac world for a
