Occasional Forums/AUR/Wiki unavailability

Twice in the past 24 hours and once before, I've lost my ability to connect to the server that hosts these forums as well as the Wiki and AUR.
When connecting with a browser, the connection times out. I tried `curl -v` and got "Network is unreachable."
I can ping and traceroute the address with no errors, but HTTP just doesn't come through.
It happens (seemingly) at random, and only time seems to fix it.
This isn't really an Arch issue per se. It affects my entire network, but it's only this one server. Someone on #archlinux thought that it might've been DNS caching, but curl says that it's not there.
Any ideas?

Yup -- turns out routing through the middle-east/SEA isn't better than going Melbourne => Sydney => LAX => NYC => London => Germany
Well, at 180 mS, it is not going up to a satellite between Sydney and LA. My back of the envelope round trip time to geosync is about 270 mS, not counting transponder delay.
FO (along a minor circle route) is on the order of 60 mS, not counting transponder delay.

Forum and wiki document configuration

hello everybody,
it's so hard find on line documents about forum and wiki configuration.
Does anybody have direct link?
it's possible configurate the port? we published the site on internet but the wiki and forum pages don't appears. seems there are working in port 8073.
hope to have some suggestion
thanks
Alex

"Wiki documents" are a feature of Document Service. This is why Yannick complained that the name is a bit confusing.
There is also a "Wiki", which allows you to create/maintain wiki pages.
say if i want to customise it then what do i need to do and more importantly i want the steps to use document task flowsWhat do you want to customize? If you search Yannick's site there are also blog articles on how to customize task flows.
If you want to just use them, you can go ahead without customizations - I'd recommend to get familiar first what OOTB task flows can do for you. I guess for your use case they should be sufficient.

Dude thank-you for your wonder detailed knowldge, I have descovered that lets say xp 1700 in a ultra 2 can only handle at the most 143fsb mult at 12.
Given the settings" irq's are a major",part of directing traffic and power? example:
Sound blaster Live , uses two irq's most common at"Auto" is, irq 10, or 5, and Sound blaster 16 emulation usually takes irq 5,. I have found that the sound card in slot3 works great , but to do this I had to change the Bio's and assign slot 3 irq 7 . and make sure printer port has share irq enabled
Problems that accure with bad traffic are like this. Start a dedicated server. minimize than start your game?":censored: no sound what could be wrong"? Shoot another problem Connection problem?. The computer nerd is getting trouble over the ordeal. ANSWER! IRQ can fix the problem, Study the irq and make changes as you go. "what would it be like with no stop signs,,,that is the same as a irq. with the same knowldge this topic brings IRQ need to be clearly understood.
I can honestly say my system is error free and running like a dream.
xp 2500 barton 333
creative sound 5.1gamers.
512 mb kingston ram 400 mhz
boadband either onboard.
MSI 5700 128 mb ddr
Setting are:
163 fsb
mult of 11
ddr 333
video memory clock down to 450mhz
3d clock to 390mhz
The delta is a smooth running board also I want to mention to the person with crackling sounds, change the irq like I did, that fix the problem and the power is totaly too good to be true.

Set arch forums or wiki in opera's keyword quick search?

Hey just wondering if this is at all possible. I don't really know much about html or search engine protocols, but I think it would be really cool if someone knew how to set up custom searches in opera's keyword searches. This is what I am thinking of if anyone knows how:
type f ---> searches bbs.archlinux.org forum search
type w ---> searches wiki.archlinux.org wiki search
It would be awesome if anyone knows how to do this since I do so many forum searches it would be nice to just pop opera open and quickly search.

In Konqueror, this works as the search function:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/search.php?action=search&keywords=\{@}&author=&forum=-1&search_in=all&sort_by=0&sort_dir=DESC&show_as=topics&search=Submit
Where \{@} is the search word. So in the 'Web Shortcuts' menu I have a shortcut named 'arch' under the title 'Arch Linux'. If I go to the address bar and type:
arch: test
It will search for 'test' with all the default search settings. It seems like this should be pretty easy to translate to Opera.

Wiki unavailable after image restore?

Howdy,
OSX Leopard Server on an older Mac Pro - Two Raid1s. First Array ("Boot Disk") has the OS, etc, Second Array has group fileshare data. All of this is backed up to an external WD drive via "SuperDuper". Anyway, BOTH drives on the "Boot Disk" array went down, so I replaced them, rebuilt the RAID, and copied back the image that "SD" had created. Everything (DNS, DHCP, Web, FileMakerPro) are working fine, but then there's the WIKI...
No groups set up in the Wiki, so I set up the group that had been there before, and while that group has rights to create, there doesn't seem to be a way to import the original wiki data (I've changed where the collaboration directory is, etc). I've also checked the ownership of /wikid, etc, and all that seems fine.
Just short of rebuilding the box and trying again, has anyone experienced this?
TYIA!

Nevernote / Nixnote Wacom pen support

I've done a lot of searching both arch-specific resources (forums, AUR, wiki), and the general internet to try and find out if Nevernote supports use of a wacom pen to create vector graphics (i.e. use the pen to write on the screen). I have been able to get GIMP and Inkscape to recognize and use the pen correctly (i.e. pressure sensitive, buttons work, etc). Hardware is recognized by the system correctly.
Is there a hidden menu in Nevernote I haven't found yet, or is there a config file change or something that would enable me to use the pen in Nevernote?
If not, here's what I'm trying to accomplish on a functional level:
I'm trying to replicate MS OneNote's seamless integration of writing on the screen with typed notes. This works great for quick scribbles that, for whatever reason, aren't conducive to being typed out. So, if anyone knows of alternative note taking software packages for linux that do offer this capability, I'd be eager to try them out. I'm NOT asking for text recognition. What I do want is the ability to write and draw in the same "space".

I don't know anything about nixnote, but....
try Xournal.
it'll work with your wacom, and has a decent amount useful of features ~ it's not the best drawing application (you limited in tools and colors) but for what you are talking about, it should work nicely;
Xournal is available through pacman, and there is also a patched version in AUR, that supports importing images;

Forums downing again?

Hi friends,
Forums is in trouble again!
As you all know, in the few last months of last year forums were down a lot... on any time of the day it seemed, but very often between 15.30-16.30 (local time).
Oracle was supposed to fix this.
But now it's back.. Mon, Tue and today this week and surely sometime a few hours past mid-day.
And the message is:
"The Discussion Forums are currently unavailable due to scheduled maintenance. The expected uptime is Saturday, January 17, 2004 at 7:00 PM PST. "
Fix this error page at least!!!
So... is somebody at Oracle working to get off the record downtime list or will you keep letting developers, supporters, customers or possible customers down?
Thx and rgds,
Fredrik

> It's slow for me, too.
Seems to be picking back up. Another load-balancing
issue, perhaps?Pant-load is more like it, but yeah, it's back to normal.

Please critique my zfs-fuse setup - wiki to follow - help needed

Hi all,
I am writing a new wiki for zfs-fuse that will hopefully find a niche and help others.
I am having a couple rough spots:
For example im trying to figure out why when i do a
# zpool create pool /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sde
with a 2TB, 750GB, 750GB, 500GB that the end file size comes out ~3.5TB instead of 4TB, and likewise when i create with a 2TB, 500GB, 500GB the drive size comes out ~2.68TB....... Does the zpool automatically use the smallest drive as a cache drive or something? Or am i just that bad at 1024*1024*xxx
Another question i am having is what role does mdadm play if i created a linear span array, on the zpool, would this still be considered zfs?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Us … ementation
heres the wiki please critique it, comment on it, bash it, help it, anything. Im sort of finished until i can have someone point out any lame mistakes in the way i created the partition tables, or used a zpool when i shouldnt be, if indeed the way i have done it with the bf00 filesystem type 'Solaris root' is indeed zfs.
Im looking for complete filesystem integrity for a backup drive array, thats all. If its only a backup array, then without having minimum of 6 like sized hard drives i dont expect to have a nice raidZ1 setup with two separate vdevs that can take full advantage of the checksum file correction system that striped arrays offer yet, i just want to get teh zfs system up and running on one array until i get more hard drives.

So, that article you have there is like a draft you are planing to add as a regular arch wiki article?
If thats the case, then read the Help:Style article, it has the rules about how you should write wiki articles on the archwiki.
For instance, you are talking a lot on the first person, and giving personal comments. Like this:
1) to get to step one on the ZFS-FUSE page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ZFS_on_FUSE i had to do a few things. that was to install yaourt, which was not necessarily straight forward. I will be vague in these instructions since i have already completed these steps so they are coming from memory
That style of writing is more fitting for a blog than a wiki article. The style article mention:
Write objectively: do not include personal comments on articles, use discussion pages for this purpose. In general, do not write in first person.
Check it here.
So, instead of saying things similar to this:
"I had to install blabla, I did it with yaourt like this: yaourt -S blabla, but you can download it manually from AUR, makepkg it, and then install it with pacman"
Is better if you say it like this:
"Install the package blabla from the AUR"
Of course, using the wiki conventions for making "Install" a link to pacman, "blabla" a link to the aur page of the package, and "AUR" a link to the aur wiki article.
Just read the article, and you will know how you should write it.

Suggestion for Alt Discussion Forums?

Since Apple's Discussion area is solely provided for support purposes ("help, this isn't working", "how do you do xyz", etc) I was hoping some of the folks here could suggest other general discussion boards that they like. For example, I really want to talk with other users about many of the cool iPhone Apps (which ones they prefer, tips on how to use them better, ... that sort of thing). But I'd also like a place to talk about all things Apple/Mac ("I heard this", "do you think that's going to be a feature of the next version", "wouldn't it be cool if ...?"). Thanks in advance.

We agree: there is great potential synergy between the forums and wiki experiences.
This is a direction in which we would like to go, but the destination is not on the horizon yet.

!!! https forum in portal 7.3

hello everybody,
we have a portal installation working in https, but we notify that forums and wiki still to work in http.
this is a problem , because from internet, these 2 applications are not available.
there is a way to change this setting?
thanks , Alex

Hi,
With server URL you have configured on your System Object?
Have you tryied to change it to use https?

Aur-general "You are not allowed to post to this mailing list"

I found a font I needed a few days ago that I couldn't find in the AUR, so I made a package and threw it up on the AUR. A few days later, when I realized I didn't even end up installing it after the packaging, I searched for it to download and install it, only to find there was a package of that font from half a year ago, so I figured I'd go report my package for deletion.
The AUR wiki page states that removal requests should be emailed to aur-general. When doing this, I get an automated response from aur-general-owner stating:
"You are not allowed to post to this mailing list, and your message has
been automatically rejected. If you think that your messages are
being rejected in error, contact the mailing list owner at
[email protected]"
How do I get permission to send my removal request? And if getting permission requires something not so easy, could someone forward the email for me?
