What source base the Arch Linux Xorg build from?

I need a complete package of X windows system installed. No idea which directory the Arch Linux X11 install to.
Only find below with "find"
/usr/share/X11
/usr/lib/ghostscript/8.64/X11.so
/usr/lib/X11
/usr/include/X11
/var/cache/man/X11R6
/etc/X11
So I try to get some souce by http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/Releases/7.4
I found its x server is only 1.5.1 and Arch Linux is 1.6.1(show when pacman -S xorg)
I really confused.
Actually what I need is pretty simple, need a xdm and xdm-configure to enable XDMCP so that I can remote connecct to X.
(I tried KDE and GNOME, it doesn't work because X)
Anybody can give me a clue?
Thanks very much,
Mike

How do you exit the Arch Linux installer?

How do you exit the Arch Linux installer? I decided to install windows before installing Arch Linux because I want to dual-boot/with those operating systems.
What command should I type to exit & eject my Install CD?

reset button?
I think it depends on far into the process you are, if you are formatting the drive anew then it shouldn't matter much when, where, or how
Best of Luck,
Pat Jr.

The Arch Linux Folding@Home team breaks 3 million points

The Arch Linux Folding@Home team breaks 3 million points and is ranked 318 out of 81,260 teams.
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/ … s=&t=45032
Not bad for a team that averages between 20 and 25 active folders!
Thanks and Congrats to everyone who has folded for Arch.

Please post your results, I would be very interested in getting the SMP client setup.
Also, a nice package wouldn't hurt
In my case, I run all my folding computers at home, and it's just me and my wife. So the computers are running in a trusted environment. As such, I just manually start the client in a Gnome terminal window on desktop #4 and leave my computer logged in all the time. When I need to log out of my Gnome session, reboot, or stop my computer, I get into Desktop #4 and enter Ctrl-C to stop the client. This is the simplest way to run the client and works for me. When you use the client like this, a package isn't necessary.
Just download the Linux x86-64 only SMP client version 6.0 Beta 1 http://folding.stanford.edu/release/FAH … -Linux.tgz into a folder in your home directory. Use the tar command to untar the file, and you end up with two files named "fah6" and "mpiexec". This is the first Linux client that requires a passkey. Go to http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/getpasskey.py to get a passkey E-mailed to you. Once you get the passkey, get into your folding directory and as a user enter:
$ ./fah6 -configonly -smp
Answer the questions to configure how your client will run. If you have never run folding at home before, you need to choose a user name. Go to http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/mai … =userstats and using the "is exactly" option or the "is like" option enter your chosen user name in the search box and see if someone else is already using that name. Keep trying user names until you find one not in use. Enter your user name. The Arch Linux team number is 45032 so enter that for the team number. Enter the passkey that Stanford E-mailed you. I recommend the following for these questions:
User name [Anonymous]? Your_user_name
Team Number [0]? 45032
Passkey []? XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ask before fetching/sending work (no/yes) [no]? no
Use proxy (yes/no) [no]? no
Acceptable size of work assignment and work result packets (bigger units may have large memory demands)
-- 'small' is <5MB, 'normal' is <10MB, and 'big' is >10MB (small/normal/big) [normal]? big
Change advanced options (yes/no) [no]? yes
Core Priority (idle/low) [idle]? idle
Disable highly optimized assembly code (no/yes) [no]? no
Interval, in minutes, between checkpoints (3-30) [15]? 15
Memory, in MB, to indicate (1885 available) [1885]? 1885
Set -advmethods flag always, requesting new advanced
scientific cores and/or work units if available (no/yes) [no]? yes
Ignore any deadline information (mainly useful if
system clock frequently has errors) (no/yes) [no]? no
Machine ID (1-16) [1]? 1
That's it, you are now configured. Now that it is configured, enter:
$ ./fah6 -smp
and you are off and running. Just remember to use the -smp flag when starting the client, and remember to use Ctrl-C to stop it.
dmartins wrote:I have noticed that the SMP client works much better on a linux dual core system than it does on a windows system with similar specs.
I agree totally with that.
Btw, Pudge: You seem to be way out in front of everyone else in points per day. I was wondering what machines you have churning away. Perhaps a PS3 in the mix? I have read they can pump out some serious GFLOPS.
No, I don't have a PS3. Here's what I have churning away.
Four SMP clients on AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processors running Arch 64 bit.
One SMP client on an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor running Windows XP
Three regular clients (non SMP) on AMD Athlon XP single core processors running i686 Arch
One regular client (non SMP) on an AMD Athlon XP single core processor running Windows XP
The vast majority of my points come from the 5 SMP clients. It's absolutely amazing how fast the SMP client can finish the work units!
If you have a dual core processor, I highly recommend running a single SMP client as opposed to running two regular clients.
EDIT: I forgot to mention. To run the Linux X86_64 SMP client Version 5 beta, you needed some 32 bit libraries loaded. I just loaded all the 32 bit libraries listed in the installing Flash on Arch64 Wiki and it worked. When I went to the Linux X86_64 SMP client Version 6 beta 1, I just left the 32 bit libraries in place as I am using them for nspluginwrapper anyway. So, I have not tested whether the Linux X86_64 SMP client Version 6 beta 1 still needs the 32 bit libraries or not.

Looking for addition articles for the Arch Linux Press Review wikipage

Good day all,
I recently updated the Arch Linux Press Review wikipage, found here:

If you know of any additional reviews or articles about Arch Linux, please edit the wiki page or post the info as a reply.
Any contributions for non-English language articles, or corrections in that area, would be especially appreciated.
Thank you,

Thanks tlaloc! I transferred that list of articles over to the Arch Press Review wikipage under the German Language section, and included a link back to the German original. I also fixed a tiny spelling error in the German page. I also doublechecked all the links to make sure they are live. As the French would day, "J'encule les moustiques"

Web based IRC for the Arch Linux channel

Would it be possible for someone to set up the Arch linux IRC channel to be viewable on a Firefox webpage in the same way the Frugalware guys do?
http://frugalware.org/irc.php
It could be really useful to those not familiar with IRC. And it doesn't look that hard to do
A link could then be put on the home page to get there quickly.

CGI:IRC is really practical, if you are on-the-road (= not on your machine) but want to inform some people over chat on something important
i had it running in an earlier version on my old machine to chat with my family when on holidays ... but the installation was pain ... however, i see that this piece of code evolved much and looks really great now
i don't decide for archlinux.org but you have my vote ;-)

Finding the Arch Linux installation guide...

...is not the most obvious thing. Couldn't/shouldn't there be a link on the main web page to the Arch Installation Guide, or at least to the docs page?
I've just tried Arch (0.7.2) for the first time, and am finding my way with it quite well so far - but just found it a little irritating to have to hunt around the web site for the installation guide from a 2nd machine (where it wasn't bookmarked yet) while I was installing Arch on another.

smoon wrote:
I'm not sure what you mean. The Installation Guide is two clicks away from http://www.archlinux.org/
http://www.archlinux.org/ -> "Documentation English" -> "Installation & First Steps"
Ok, now that I made a fuss about this, it's time to admit that I just didn't see that Documentation section on the home page - thanks for pointing it out - time for some sleep I guess :-)

[SOLVED] The Arch Linux Handbook/Wiki

Hello, everyone.
I am new to Arch Linux; to be honest, I have not installed it yet, but I intend to do so very soon.
I am a partially blind user, and I have used Ubuntu for nearly the past five years. I want to learn more about Linux, and I want to replace my Ubuntu installation with Arch Linux. I have been reading a lot about Arch over the past few weeks, and I just really love the whole philosophy behind it.
I have a question, however, concerning the arch Beginners' Guide/ArchWiki. I have found this documentation to be VERY helpful, but my good eye (I have vision in only one eye, and it is a bit limited) cannot stand up to heavy reading as it used to be able to. I have been searching online to see if either a text document or a PDF document exists which contains all of the information which is in the Beginners' Guide. So far, I have not found any results. I am sorry, though, as my search engine skills are not too good (I am learning). The reason I ask this is because I have a portable device which has a built-in text-to-speech engine which is capable of reading text files aloud to me. If I could obtain this information in text format, or in PDF format (as I could use the pdftotext command to generate a text copy), it would make things a lot more streamlined for me.
Is there something like this in existence?
I appreciate any help which you can provide. As I stated earlier, please forgive me if something like this does exist and I missed it while searching.
Please take care, and have a great evening.

You want just the Beginners' Guide? Here is it in a ready to print format: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?ti … ntable=yes
It's html, so converting it to txt of pdf shouldn't be much of a problem.
There's also https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … _the_blind but I'm not sure if you find it helpful.

[SOLVED] Installing arch linux using dd from anrdoid phone's sd card

Hello everybody, I'm totally new and totally excited about arch linux.
I'm trying to create a bootable android phone for some hours now with no success.
The reason I'm trying to do that, is because all my usb sticks are all over the place at friends houses.
Since I'm not the patient type, I decided to do it with my Android Phone's SD card cause I noticed that I have the option to boot from it during startup.
Now, what seems to be the problem is this:
I did "dd bs=4M if=/path/to/archlinux.iso of=/dev/sdc" which seemed to do the job. When I rebooted tho, I didn't see my phone as a booting option.
That was obviously due to unrecognized file system format. How can I dd and keep the filesystem type? I believe that it's ntfs or FAT.
I also tried to install without overwriting the stick, which was a failure, it said it wouldn't find the .cfg files when i ran the commands in the wiki.
Can somebody help me with this?
Thanks in advance
Last edited by deus_deceit (2013-02-10 02:13:12)

Yes, my phone's card works without adding software as soon as I plug it in, the problem appears to be this: when i do "dd" on the SD card the filesystem type changes which causes my phone thinking that the SD card is empty since it doesn't recognize that format and not showing as a bootable device. As soon as I format it with my phone and reboot, it's there. So what I want to do is, create a bootable SD card that keeps the filesystem format that my phone recognizes. Is that possible?

What would be the correct workflow to go from XDCAM to Apple Prores?

I would expect I would need to export to Raw DV via the clip browser, and take that to Apple Prores via Compressor. Is this correct? What about the audio?
Thanks in advance.

Uhm...no. Going from XDCAM (HD) to DV would be the worse thing to do. Not sure what you mean by RAW DV, but DV is 720x480, highly compressed SD. The lowest form of SD next to S-VHS. DOn't to that to your HD.
Get the Log and Transfer plugin from SONY and use LOG AND TRANSFER to convert the footage to ProRes directly from the card or card dumps.

How to install only, BUT ONLY what i need in Arch Linux?

Well, when i install BASE package (selecting only: tar, vi, linux), I got an error: Saying that /sbin/init is not on the folder. (I checked up and i figured out that the file is in /usr/sbin/init). And when i made fstab files the kernel does not detect some partitions, i want to know what i have to install to solve that?
I'm really perfeccionist, so, i have no interest to install the whole base package. Anyway, i hope you could help me, and THANKS!

victorqueiroz wrote:I'm really perfeccionist
Thanks for the daily irony.
What commands did you actually execute, there is not nearly enough information here. If you only installed tar vi and linux you would not have anything remotely close to a working system.
You'd need filesystem tools, and (unless you're really a masochist) an init system, a shell, and if this is going to be anything that could be called archlinux, you'd need the pacman package manager. There are certainly some other essential things I haven't bothered to take the time to think of, then of course each of these things has dozens of dependencies.
There are a few (very few) packages from the base group that you can not install and still have a working system.
EDIT: perhaps you should try LFS.

Gui a'la Arch Linux for building/installing/maintaining E17

Hi!
I have made a simple GUI in Dialog / bash for maintaining E17 right now it can build e17 and install it, build and upgrade it and last it can just build e17 (not installing/updating)
anywya, feel free to try it, but be aware that this is the first version so I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE!!!
please report errors, and I am sorry for any inconvinience this might cause
UPDATE: BIG BUG KILLED! UPDATE TO 0.0.4
Update:
New version is out
Buggs are squashed, and some new feutures, like if you are root when installing, it restores ownership of files...and new cleaning of directories is working quite well....also more logging, and more correct logging...
UPDATE
New version: New feuture is the ability to use Gensync to do your own repo
Have fun
download here: http://www.linuxportalen.com/files/e17_ … 0.6.tar.gz
it includes pkgbuilds, pkg.list file, and the script itself
UPDATE: New version of the script, does not require editing the code
although it has not been properly tested, but it should work
http://www.linuxportalen.com/files/e17_ … 0.7.tar.gz

Feutures in the next version of the script is:
Building and installing E17 from PKGBUILDS
Building and Upgrading E17 from PKGBUILD
Building E17 from PKGBUILD (and copy all build-files to a specified directory)
While building and something goes wrong, You may go back, uncheck those packages that you have already made, and skip the one that gone wrong and continue installing/upgrading/building
Inbuilt fail-checking
Upcoming feutures, (although not sure how to do all of it yet)
Uninstalling of E17 (or specifik packages)
Gensync (make your own repo)
download here:
Anyone has any more ideas?http://www.linuxportalen.com/files/e17_ … 0.3.tar.gz

Open a form with space on the path with form builder from a batch

Hi,
I cannot open a form from a batch on Windows if the absolute path contains spaces.
For example, if I try to open a form in "C:\" from cmd with C:\ORANT\bin\ifbld60.exe C:\Form.fmb, I have no problem, if I try to open a form in "C:\Documents and Settings" with C:\ORANT\bin\ifbld60.exe "C:\Documents and Settings\Form.fmb" or C:\ORANT\bin\ifbld60.exe C:\Documents and Settings\Form.fmb, I have some dialog with info and the error FRM-90927 and form builder doesn't start.
Thank you,

Why is that you want to open a FMB in Form Builder with a Batch file?
Is it that your application has only one FMB and that you work with only one FMB all the time?
Cheers,
PS: And if you must open the FMB through a batch file then look up the Form Builder Help for "Command Line options". It is an excellent resource.

ArchDL -- Download Latest Arch Linux ISO Image from Mirror

Hey guys, here is my ArchISO script. To download latest version of iso image from a mirror. I will add more countries/mirros ones I have time. Right now there is only "United States" mirrors. Enjoy.

Really? This script is to download the iso, right? so, maybe I'm wrong, but I think downloading the iso and install it to an usb has nothing to do.
Or are you going to create another script to do that?
Anyway, about the downloading script.
What if it parsed the download page, to get all links listed there? With something like:
curl -s 'https://www.archlinux.org/download/' |sed -n '/id="download-mirrors"/,/\/div/ {/href/ s/.*href="$[^"]*$.*/\1/p; /h5/ s/.*<h5.*> $[^<]*$.*/\1/p}'
You could get the list of links.
Also, check this: http://grulos.blogspot.mx/2007/10/find- … irror.html
Is an script to find the fastest mirror from a list of urls.
To be really useful the script, it would be better if it autoselected the fastest mirror for you, instead of waiting for you to tell it which mirror to use.
So, what you think?

What problem do the yahoo web site have from opening?

what should be done for the yahoo website to be open?

'''Clear cookies + Cache'''
1. Hit Ctrl+ Shift + delete on your keyboard or go to Tools| Clear recent history
2. Set the time range to be '''Everything'''
3. If it isn't selected already, set Firefox to clear '''Cookies and Cache''' . If you do not see this option, click on the arrow located next to Details

One of your add-ons might be the culprit. Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] with all add-ons disabled. If that solves the problem, see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and possibly [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
