[SOLVED] Xarchiver or Squeeze in default Xfce4 ?

In Xfce4 official website, xarchiver is the proposed archive manager for Xfce4. But I pacman -S xfce4 and get squeeze as a archive manager. Why not xarchiver ?
However, if it can display a menu on a right click, say "Extract here", or such things, like 7-zip in WindowsXP, I guess it would be more convenient.

I always thought squeeze was the default extractor for Xfce. But XArchiver does have the Extract here functionality -- but not for all types of compressed files. I think its more dependent on the backend processes than the front-end. Xarchiver and Squeeze both are just front-ends for tar, bzip2,zip,unrar etc.

zipinfo is provided by unzip, so install that package (pacman -S unzip).

[SOLVED] Several problems with PulseAudio under Xfce4

So, yesterday I sat down to set up pulseaudio on my machine (I want to try and use it for my 'networked-audio system' of the future).
I was aware of the fact that pulseaudio does have several problems. particularly with ALSA-compatibility, but I was ready to give it a shot anyway and hope for the best.
Of course that did not happen...
I installed everything (including packages for backward compatibility with ALSA) and while sound still works (what a relief), I have several problems now:
1. Pulseaudio does NOT save it's volume levels - Volume levels for Pulseaudio are gone after next reboot, I was trying to look into this, but found no workable solution.
2. Strange behaviour of apps when changing volume - This is REALLY annoying.
When I am in a music app for example (e.g. Banshee) and am trying to increase/decrease volume, the current sound (song) will 'mute' when I am moving the slider and only 'resume' after I release it.
Any ideas are much appreciated,
Thanks,
SOLVED: It seems that all my alsa channels were automatically muted when pulseaudio was first enabled.
Strange, Is this because pulseaudio wants you not to use alsa or something? :-)

I'm using just alsa now but when I used pulseaudio I used "pacmd" to set suitable volumes. Something like
pacmd set-default-volume (and then volumes in the range 0-65000?)
anyway, "pacmd info" will have the correct command.
I was not aware of this, very useful - Thank you.

[SOLVED] no 5.1 sound in Xfce4

Hello all,
did a fresh install of arch last weekend, installed cinnamon and gnome 3.10. I had sound working fine. Since cinnamon would lock up on me (tried the update, didn't work), and didn't care of the new gnome classic, I uninstalled gnome and cinnamon and installed Xfce4. Everything went smoothly, except after Xfce install, I have no sound, where it worked 1 hour prior with gnome and cinnamon.
I've read through the wiki's, and forums posts and tried their suggestions, however, nothing seems to work.
the output of speaker-test -c 6 appears to work, but I don't get sound.
Here is some output that will help determine what's going on, though I'm not sure what to look for and could use some help.

*EDIT*
Changed subject to reflect 5.1 sound is not working. with speaker-test -c 6, I have sound out of all the speakers at once only when speaker-test cycles to front left and front right. no sound at all when cycling center, rear left or rear right.
Last edited by nixIT (2013-05-15 00:20:40)

Ok, I finally had some time to look into this. Here is what I did:
-removed my SB Audigy card and using onboard only
-booted to windows to make sure 5.1 works. *check
-booted to arch 64 w/Xfce4 -- no 5.1 sound
As a test, I booted to a linux mint 14 Xfce live media and installed, only took 5 minutes so no biggie. Had 5.1 sound. and "speaker-test -c 6" worked perfectly
As a second test, I booted to the recently released Xubuntu Xfce4, and installed, again, only took a few minutes. Had 5.1 sound, and "speaker-test -c 6" worked perfectly
I then copied "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf" from xubuntu to a data drive
Last night I downloaded the latest Arch 64 ISO and installed following the wiki. Once it was time to test sound I ran "speaker-test -c 6" and I can see it cycle through the speakers but only got sound out of all the speakers when speaker-test would cycle to Front Left and Front Right, nothing when it hit Center, Rear Right, Rear Left of subwoofer.
I then installed Xfce4 following the wiki, I can hear a slight static pop from the speakers, I then repeated the speaker test, same thing. sound out of all the channels when speaker-test would cycle to Front Left and Front Right only.
I'm stumped. This worked prior to when I moved from Cinnamon to Xfce.
I'm followed the wiki with setting sound cards, and nothing. I even tried the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, which I copied from my Xubuntu install (above) and rebooted, same thing.
I don't know what to try to get my sound working under Arch and Xfce now. Any help is appreciated.

[SOLVED] Alpine - Error sending: No default posting command

Hi, I have installed the Alpine mail client yesterday, and it all works nicely, except I can't send mail. Everytime I try I get this message:
Error sending: No default posting command
I have tried googling around, and from what I understand Alpine uses sendmail by default, but I haven't got it installed, nor I can find it in the repos. Is there any way I can change this? And what can I use to send mail?
Thanks.
Last edited by finferflu (2007-12-26 16:02:13)

I haven't dug it enough yet, and I'm not sure that this is possible, even though Alpine is very customisable as far as I can see.

[solved] Gnome set Evince as default PDF

Hello,
I wonder why I cannot select Evince as my default PDF viewer. The default application window simply does not let me choose Evince.

Any ideas what to do alternatively?
Thanks!

There's already a bunch of bugs about this filed against most distros. Previously it was just an issue with it not displaying in the application menus, but I think a recent Gnome Shell version (3.4/3.6?) is also now respecting NoDisplay in the Open With / Default application list. I didn't have this problem on my previous Arch install from about 18 months ago up until two weeks ago - Evince was always the default app for opening PDFs - but with my shiny two-week-old Arch install it was a problem.
That said, using xdg-mime is the cross-desktop way of doing this at least.

[SOLVED] Loading mobile version by default with Qupzilla

Is there a way to load the mobile version of all websites by default with Qupzilla?
I can achieve this manually when the mobile version of the website resides in m.webaddress.something, but there are some sites that do not use separate addresses for mobile versions.
I think this is related to setting the browser agent, but in Qupzilla I only see agents for Desktop browsers.
Any hint? Are there other browsers with this feature?

[SOLVED]Cursor theme changes to default in Firefox and Thunderbird

When i use facebook, when the page loads something like photos or my profile, the cursor changes to default X11.
I use KDE Oxygen Black theme so the proper cursor theme when the page loads must be the arrow with the two bubbles rotating around, but i get the default skinny black cursor with a clock.
This happens in some java apps like netbeans.
I've done this alredy:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X1 … sor_Themes
I have Oxygen Black theme in KDM too.
I have tried this in Konqueror and Midori and works perfect. (The cursor flicker a little, but works)
Thanks in advance.

If you need a fix before next major release, just do the following:
1) Check Arch Files out: http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/ … hunderbird
2) Download Patch https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ … 6e3eca4196 ans save it to patch.patch (for example)
3) Add filename and md5sum to PKGBUILD
4) Add after "patch -Np1 -i "$srcdir/libvpx.patch"":
cd "$srcdir/comm-release/mozilla"
patch -Np1 -i "$srcdir/patch.patch"
cd "$srcdir/comm-release"
5) Run makepkg -si
6) delete autoconf2.13,yasm,etc. afterwards (makedpendencies)

[SOLVED] Unable to net-start "default" network in libvirt (KVM)

Hi. I've used this tutorial and have net-define'ed a network from this xml, but when i try to net-start it, i get the following error:
virsh # net-start default
error: Failed to start network default
error: internal error Network is already in use by interface virbr0
At first i though that some other network has already been defined and auto-started, so i've checked net-list
virsh # net-list --all
Name State Autostart
default inactive no
Here is the output from $ ip a show dev virbr0
4: virbr0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN

I became curious, and found out that dnsmasq was running
$ ps -ef | ack dnsm | ack -v ack
nobody 12333 1 0 13:04 ? 00:00:00 dnsmasq --strict-order --bind-interfaces --pid-file=/var/run/libvirt/network/default.pid --conf-file= --except-interface lo --listen-address 192.168.122.1 --dhcp-range 192.168.122.2,192.168.122.254 --dhcp-leasefile=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.leases --dhcp-lease-max=253 --dhcp-no-override
With that i thought that everything works just fine, and i should try to configure a virtual machine to use the default network.
EDIT:
Looks like $ virsh edit fedora and /etc/libvirt/qemu/fedora.xml contain different things. I am pretty confused.
/etc/libvirt/qemu/fedora.xml
virsh edit fedora

[Solved/Hacked] .txt and .doc default app.

I use Stumpwm and Thunar and I open .txt files with Gvim and .doc files with LibreOffice/OpenOffice.
My problem is: If I set the default application for .txt files to be Gvim, this is also set for .doc files and viceversa.
What I want is to be able to set Gvim the default application for text files and LibreOffice for .doc files.

I had the same problem a while back. Finally found this informative thread. Seemed to be a bug in Thunar, so I just decided to let it be.
However, it looks like the problem has been fixed in the latest version of Thunar (1.2.0) that came with the Xfce 4.8 update last week, at least on my end. Have you tried updating?

[SOLVED] Is /opt empty by default?

Hello,
i had some issue installing a third party program. I downloaded it as binary, the only thing to do was to place it to /opt. It was a tar.bz2 file. it contents was opt folder, then PorgramName folder and so on. so i issued:
sudo tar xjvf archive.tar.bz2
while being in the root(/) folder. everything looked like to run smoothly, but after that i wanted to check /opt and it had 0700 permissions and owner 1003.... wtf? i changed user and group to root and permissions to 755 and opened the /opt directory and the only contents in it was the content from the archive. Is /opt by default empty or did i screw something up? System seems to work normal. I really don't remember what was in /opt nor what permissions did it have before i issued that command. Could this way off unpacking the archive break something?
Last edited by ancrouter (2011-10-06 21:43:52)

/opt will be empty unless you install something into it e.g. Java
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … _Standards
Are you saying you installed the program without using pacman? Using a PKGBUILD is the way to go here.

[SOLVED] GTK3 Apps Look Crappy in XFCE4

Hello,
I've been running XFCE4 for a while, and I have several GTK3 applications that don't look very good, such as Glade (extra/glade 3.10.0-2), or even things as simple as my ScreenShot scripts, that I have bound to <Print> and <Alt>Print.

and a screenshot of Glade 3.10.0.

[SOLVED] ALSA not working for "default" device

If I try to use alsamixer I get a "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory" error but if I try alsamixer -c 1 to select card 1, it works but seems to be causing issues with applications that are using default. Doing lspci shows that there are two entries labeled "Audio Device:", one an "intel series 8 HD audio controller" and one an "intel haswell-ult audio controller"
Any thoughts?
Last edited by 3mpach3r (2014-09-19 02:39:18)

Several. What are your Alsa configuration files? Did you change the default setup in any way? Do you use card 1 as default? Do you use Pulseaudio?
To change the default sound cards control for alsa only use defaults.ctl node:
$ cat ~/.asoundrc
defaults.ctl.card 1; # although the name identifier
# should be preferred
# execute
echo defaults.ctl.card \"$(cat /proc/asound/card1/id)\"\; > ~/.asoundrc
To change the default sound card using the preferred way, use modprobe options. In your case most probably:
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/50-alsa.conf
options snd-hda-intel index=1,0
Edit: Added ";".

[SOLVED] How to completely 'reset' default font setup?

In trying to improve the look of the fonts on my system, I've gotten myself into a situation where some programs either no longer start (Keepass) and others have blank windows (Thunderbird).
I've installed infinality--and then followed this guide http://www.binarytides.com/gorgeous-loo … ntu-linux/
So, basically, I've just made everything worse and would like to 'start over'.
Is there a way to put everything back the way it was (font-wise)--as with a new install (or close to it)?
Thanks in advance!
