[Solved] Visual Boy Advance: Wiki-Entry out of date

Hi!
The Wiki-Entry for VBA is out of date. The package isn't longer available and has been removed. The only thing I could find now is the replacement (?) vba-m in the AUR.

On a related note. community/mednafen uses VBA as its GBA emulation backend, so just use that.
All the best,

Thanks for that. But mednafen isn't that comfortable to use. If you just wan't to use GB/GBA-Games, vba-m is far better to use (just my opinion).
I will update the Wiki-Entry now.
Edit: Done.

[SOLVED] why supertuxkart in repo is out-of-date since 2011-04-15?

is there some technical issue or we just need to wait?
Last edited by masteryod (2011-09-10 22:39:56)

I'm copying my reply to that mail here:
I'm quite aware of that package and its state. The new version requires an unreleased version of Irrlicht that I cannot package officially. The only chance of updating the package would be dropping it to AUR. I messaged the Irrlicht devs and they told me that no stable release would be due in quite some time. As such, I have to conclude that the supertuxkart devs have made a fairly ill decision.
Anyhow, it is as it is and without a lot of hacking I couldn't change it. It's also not very Arch-like to patch the hell out of downstream packages, so there you have it.
If you know of any way to fix this unfortunate situation, let me know.

[wiki][proposal] Rewrite of the "Router" wiki entry

This is a proposal to establish rewrite and restructure the entire "Router" wiki article located at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NAT … connection (The wiki entry "Router" currently redirects here).
There has been much discussion of a rewrite in the #archlinux irc channel and a small number of users, including myself, wish to heavily rewrite and reorganize the information located at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NAT … connection and http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NAT … d_features.
The current articles, while informative, are extremely lengthy and provide large amounts of unnecessary information when creating an Arch Linux router. Some of the steps provided in the entries above are hard to follow, are provided out of order, and require you to unnecessarily browse off-site links for one or two lines of additional text to be added to a configuration file instead of providing them for you. This can be very confusing or misleading to someone not familiar with setting up this type of system.
The rewritten entries would be divided into the following wiki entries - Router: Basic (redirected from "Router"), Router: Advanced.
The rewritten entries would contain similar information to the original entries, however with some sections removed, reorganized or relocated and easier to follow. This would be able to ensure accessibility and usability of the Router entry for novice users, and at the same time allow more advanced users to additionally tweak their router.
Due to the large amount of information provided by both existing entries, a third "Draft" entry would be proposed - Router: Draft.
This would be a public wiki entry where those who wish to contribute to the rewrite of these articles can join and provide feedback to the existing status of the rewrite project. This would allow the information currently present on the existing pages to still be usable while the rewrite is taking place. Once the draft has been deemed usable enough to replace the existing entries, the draft page will be removed and the existing entries will be replaced by the newly rewritten router entries.
Note: It came to my attention that it may just be wiser creating the Router: Basic and Router: Advanced pages and doing the rewrite on each respective page instead. During the time of the rewrite, an "article in progress" notice can be displayed informing users that the article itself may not be ready and should be followed at their own risk. As it stands, Router: Draft will be unnecessary.
Those of us who are adament about rewriting these entries are curious to hear the community response to this proposal. We are going to begin rewriting the entries very soon and would like others to contribute or review our works on a regular basis. Please let us know what you think, as we would like to hear the community suggestions and insight on this proposal.

@roadmap..
Nice work guys...
One suggestion... dont include unnecessary(ie details available on other parts of wiki) details...
IMO you can nuke this whole part without any loss of content because anybody who is going to install arch on a router will already be familiar with pacman and upgrading etc.
On a default installation, Arch Linux does not come with what you will need to configure an Arch Linux router. You will need to install some additional packages to make Arch Linux function how we intend to. For this task, we will be using the package manager pacman.
Tip: If you want more information on pacman and its uses, please see the Pacman wiki page
[edit] Upgrading Your Packages
If you have not done so already, you should go ahead and update your installation to the latest packages. You can do this by running the following command from the command line.
pacman -Syu
Allow it to proceed and once it has finished, continue to the next part of this tutorial.
This is just my opinion and people may differ, but i find lot of wiki pages (xorg/beginners guide to mention two) to be bloated with excess info instead of linking to relevant part of wiki.
I have thought about your inquiry and my response is hard to put it in perspective. I do agree with your philosophy about the fact that the specific section is unnecessary. However, those who may be attempting to setup an Arch Router may not have any internet access, outside of the Arch Router machine itself, at the time they are following the tutorial.
You have to remember that this is a tutorial/howto, and a good tutorial should contain all information necessary to complete the desired task. If someone should desire more information about a particular application or have a differing situation to the one that the tutorial is trying to achieve, then linking them to more information about each application may provide additional help to their situation.
That was one of my complaints with the previous Router entry: it would send you off site to find one or two lines of config that could have just very well been included into the original article. It expected you to have full internet access while telling you flat out to tear apart your network in the process, and by doing so destroyed parts of its usability.
With that being said, you have to remember that the current state of Router: Basic is incomplete and if anything a "draft". Once its complete, it will probably end up going through a few more revisions to ensure all the information provided is correct and necessary. You are more than welcome to add your own changes and information to it. The more help and input the better the article will be. So if you do feel like that section should be removed, feel free to change it at your leisure.

[SOLVED] open-vm-tools-modules out of date

open-vm-tools-modules has been flagged out-of-date today because it requires < 3.3 kernel.
This is stopping me from updating to 3.3-ARCH.
Can anyone advise what it would take to update this? If it's complicated, how long would it normally be before it is updated by the maintainer?
Thanks in advance.

The NEWS file in ~/abs/open-vm-tools-modules/.../src/ said
Targets (1): open-vm-tools-modules-2012.03.13-1
open-vm-tools 2012.03.13 changes:
* Updates for newer Linux kernel releases (3.3).
so I thought it was worth risking removing the requires <3.3 from PKGBUILD, like so (I didn't mean to comment the second "depends=" line):
package() {
_kernver=`pacman -Q linux | cut -d . -f 2 | cut -f 1 -d -`
# depends=("linux>=3.${_kernver}" "linux<3.`expr ${_kernver} + 1`")
# depends=("linux>=3.${_kernver}")
KERNEL_VERSION=`cat /lib/modules/extramodules-3.${_kernver}-ARCH/version`
msg "Kernel = $KERNEL_VERSION"
Seems to be working, so marking SOLVED.

Delete wiki entries

Does anyone know how to delete wiki entries from the OS file system command line? My wiki got spammed, and I have lots of entries to delete. I don't want to have to open each entry and click on -, and specifiy to 'permantantly delete' each spam entry.
For one spam entry, I tried deleting the /Library/Collaboration/Groups/MyWiki/wiki/#####.page directory, but that leaves a link to the spam entry in my 'Recent Changes' list on the wiki page. And when I click on that entry, I get 'page not found'. So, there is another place that the spam entry is listed, but where???
Sometimes you have to delete a db file and rebuild it, but I have no idea if that's the case here or what db file that would be.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Game Boy Advance AU

Hi all,
Just wondering if anybody knows of a good plugin (or plugins) that will allow me to use instruments/effects heard in the GBA. I'm currently working on an indie job writing music for a game which is going to be on the PC, but is meant to look and sound like a Game Boy Advance game; I have good arrangements for a few songs already but when I submitted them to the developer they told me they liked them but the songs don't sound enough like GBA tunes.
If there's no plugin (that works in GarageBand) out there for that, then could someone explain or direct me to a good tutorial that explains how I might go about emulating Game Boy Advance music?
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

It builds fine without all those patches. Having static patches to VCS code is a bad idea from the outset.

Organizing package building wiki entries

Right now we have three separate wiki entries that describe the package building in Arch:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arc … _Standards
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/The … guidelines
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ABS … _Explained
I started maintaining packages a few months ago, and while I was learning how to build packages I was getting a little tired of having to sift through multiple resources with duplicate information. This is kind of a shameless plug, but I took the entries, updated and re-wrote them:
http://www.bytetrap.com/blog/2008/09/16 … rch-linux/
Thoughts? Every factoid mentioned in those three wiki entries -should- be mentioned in my post. If I get enough thumbs up I'd be happy re-organize the current three wiki entries into the single entry that I compiled.

I noticed in the "preparing the file'" section you recommend using pacman -Up (package file). What is the benefit of using the -p flag?
-p, --file
Signifies that the package supplied on the command line is a file and not an entry in the database. The file will be decompressed and queried. This is useful in combination with --info and --list.
I'm just wondering because I've never used it. Nice work!
I took that line pretty much verbatim from the wiki entry, but the -p flag I believe ensures that you install the package that you built instead of the pre-built binary from the pacman database. So this only really applies/comes in handy if you build a package from the PKGBUILD file when the binary already exists, preventing you from installing the binary.
Also, I don't think this is usually a big problem either because the package you build is usually named pkgname.tar.gz, while when you query a package via pacman, you just use the pkgname. So you usually just do pacman -U pkgname.tar.gz instead of pacman -U pkgname anyway. If for some reason your package file was named pkgname, you would have to use the -p flag to ensure that you install your pakcage instead of the pre-built binary.

WARNING! Your Flash Player may be out of date. how can i solve this problem/

WARNING! Your Flash Player may be out of date. how can i solve this problem/

The Flash update alerts are fake, and are intended to mislead you into installing malware and/or to steal your identity. They're the result of an attack on your router that has caused you to get false results from looking up the addresses of Internet servers. Requests sent to well-known websites such as Google and YouTube are redirected to a server controlled by the attacker.
The router's documentation should tell you how to reset it to the factory default state. Usually there's a pinhole switch somewhere in the back. It may be labeled "RESET." Insert a paper clip and press the button inside for perhaps 15 seconds, or as long as the instructions specify.
Then go through the initial setup procedure. I can't be specific, because it's different for every model. The key points are these:
1. Don't allow the router to be administered from the WAN (Internet) port, if it has that option.
2. Set a strong password to protect the router's settings: at least ten random upper- and lower-case letters and digits.Don't use the default password or any other that could be guessed.
3. If the router is wireless, or if you have a wireless access point on the network, use "WPA 2 Personal" security and set another strong password to protect the network. If the router or access point doesn't support WPA 2, it's obsolete and must be replaced.
During the time the router was compromised, you were redirected to bogus websites. If you ever connected to a secure site and got a warning from your browser that the identity of the server could not be verified, and you dismissed that warning in order to log in, assume that your credentials for the site have been stolen and that the attacker has control of the account. This warning also applies to all websites on which you saw the fake update alerts.

Cpufreq info in KDE wiki entry

Hi all
In the powersaving section in the KDE wiki entry, it states that
Warning: Using Cpufreq in order to handle your CPU power schemes, that means, controlling it through software, IS NOT suggested for use since modern CPUs are capable of powersaving through their BIOSes.
If I get it right, it is suggested that it is better to not use cpufreq at all. The problem is that, without installing and configuring cpufreq, cpu scaling does not work (tested both in my laptop with intel core 2 duo and in my desktop pc with AMD Phenom II X4 955). Cpu scaling is enabled in BIOS in both machines. So, is this statement valid or am I missing sth?
Last edited by panosk (2010-10-01 11:07:10)

@stqn: Man, you are angry...take it easy Apparently, we are talking about the cpu scaling option in the motherboard BIOS. Someone has spent time to make/edit the wiki entry, so a simple grammar mistake should not spoil him. Even if you don't like or use KDE, you could still correct this sentence since you consider it so important to worth a mention. Anyways, thanks for the feedback. I was struggling to achieve cpu scaling without cpufreq.
@flamelab: I have tried a few schemes with cpufreq and the powersaving feature in solid. I need to test a few more things and then I could probably provide some info in the wiki entry's relative section.

Help with Game boy Advance emulator VBA

So i got Visiual boy advance form the AUR. Had to gat some dependencies so I got. I makepkg VBA then install it. WHen I try to run I get this

Which I really don't understand what that means at all. My audio works fine too. I was listening to a song while doing this. So help please? Thanks.

Wait I still need help! For some reason After I booted up this moring it would'nt work. I got the same problem I tried reinstalling and nothing happened. I dug deeper and found the problem.

EDIT: I did some research and I dont think its sdl i tried to reinstall it anyway and no luck and Libpthread seems knod of important. Im pretty sure that this is the problem
