Where are the i686 community-testing updates?

http://www.archlinux.org/packages/3/?repo=Community-Testing&sort=-last_update

Is it a bug or are they coming out later?

Alps touchpad problems

I am trying to get a laptop touchpad working properly with arch fully
up to date as of today. The machine is a recent Dell Vostro and has an
Alps touchpad. I can't get vertical scrolling to work in KDE, and the
mouse cursor occasionally moves erratically.

I have seen previous posts some time back recommending installing the
psmouse-alps package from AUR, and indeed it would appear that the 3.3
kernel may have a working psmouse module. However for the moment with
kernel 3.2.5 the touchpad is detected as P/S 2 Generic - instead of
the correct detection.

I have tried installing psmouse-alps and rebooting but it made no
difference so I uninstalled it again.

the Xorg log has:

[    16.850] (II) config/udev: Adding input device PS/2 Generic Mouse (/dev/inpu
t/event8)
[    16.850] (**) PS/2 Generic Mouse: Applying InputClass "evdev pointer catchal

Ad hoc

The PPPoE connection works after running '# ifconfig eth0 up && netcfg pppoe' as usual.

After preparing ad hoc [1] I loaded the module by '# modprobe rtl8192se'.

Then I tried to run 'newlan -n', but it doesn't work [2].

1. How can I run 'newlan'?
2. Do I need to reboot to load the firmware?
3. Do I have to change the lines

modprobe -r ath_pci
modprobe ath_pci autocreate=adhoc

to something like

modprobe -r ath_pci
modprobe ath_usb autocreate=adhoc

when using an USB device?

[root <at> archlinux src]# modprobe -r ath_pci
FATAL: Module ath_pci not found.
[root <at> archlinux src]# modprobe ath_usb autocreate=adhoc
FATAL: Module ath_usb not found.
[root <at> archlinux src]# modprobe ath_pci
FATAL: Module ath_pci not found.

Rebooting now without a starting the adhoc script or loading the module at startup ...

Regards,
(Continue reading)

Ok, I didn't notice anything out-of-ordinary on your screenshot, seems
like its ok since the focused application is on top layer and overlaps the
bar. I don't think that is a bug.

Debugging a kde app

Caveat: I know this is probably an upstream bug so I'm just looking
for some general info. This is my first try at debugging. I'm using
the wiki articles for my guidance.

I some questions about debugging a KDE app, kshisen which is included
in the kdeames package. The best I can describe the behavior is "it
hangs at random intervals. Either when you select a tile it takes
several seconds to highlight it, after the first selection the
matching selection takes 5 to 10 seconds, then continues without
crashing". I've tried to get a screenshot but an unable to when
kshisen is hung up. I've recompiled the dependencies and kshisen like
this and built the packages in a clean chroot with extra-x86_64-build.

options=('!strip')

build() {
    export CFLAGS="-fbuiltin -g -march=native -O1 -pipe
-fstack-protector-all --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2"
    export CXXFLAGS="-fbuiltin -g -march=native -O1 -pipe
-fstack-protector-all --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2"
    export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,--hash-style=gnu"

	cd $srcdir
	mkdir build
	cd build
	cmake ../../${pkgbase}-${pkgver} -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
-DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH=ON  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
-DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python2
	make
}

Can't rebuild audiofile 3.2 from PKGBUILD?

Guys,

   I have almost survived the updates from today, but the last issue I have is 
audiofile 3.2->3.3 kills sound in trinity and kills basket-notepads. I am 
trying to rebuild from the 3.2 pkgbuild, but the build fails:

/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC   --mode=link gcc -std=gnu99  -march=i686

libpng 14/15 - anyway to workaround by having parallel installs?

Guys,

   The libpng issue breaks nearly all of trinity. Is there a way to work 
around the libpng 1.5 update by having both 1.5 and 1.4 installed or with 
softlinks until all the rebuilds can be done? I'll play with it, but if anyone 
knows how to approach this workaround (if possible), I would welcome your 
thoughts. Thanks.

help building aoe block driver against kernel 3.2.4

Like the subject says, I need a hand building the latest aoe block driver (available here [1]). The built-in
aoe driver is back at version 47... there have been *many* improvements, particularly for performance,
that I need in the later driver releases.

I had great success building the driver against kernel26 for the past 3 years. This is my first try with the
3.x kernel series.

In the gist below, I attached 3 sets of detail. The 'install_readme.txt' is a set of instructions I wrote up
on how to prepare the kernel sources so that the driver could be built against it. These are the
instructions (slightly updated to use the 'linux' package name versus the old 'kernel26' package) that I
have successfully used for the last several years to keep the driver up to date as new kernels rolled out.

The 'stdout.txt' section of the gist contains the output of my terminal session from when I do the driver
build. It throws some errors out and points to a few lines in a specific file (aoeblk.c) as being incorrect.
I have compared that code to other drivers and it looks correct to me.

Lastly, I included a copy of the aoeblk.c file that contains these supposed errors (to save any helpful soul
who wants to see the source without downloading the tarball [1] linked to earlier).

https://gist.github.com/1713964

I also took another approach where I copied the updated driver sources directly into the kernel source tree
and rebuilt the package. However, it throws the same error. 

I cannot get support from the vendor (Coraid) because they only officially support the 2.6 kernel series
even with a paid plan.

I'm at a loss as to what to try next. Any suggestions?
