Arch Linux

Ok I'll have a look at it. Yes it is nice but how do I get a program overview (Where are the menus for that?) ... Ah there it is. Well I think I can get used to this it is quite ellegant. Who needs categories

[dedanna1029]

It may sound silly, but a few things on the Arch menus (kicker) are like finding my favorite beer in this town. Gotta go here, then there, then there, until someone finally has it LOL.

I think all programs are put into one hat in Gnome-shell. But the search function is good so it will work I guess.

[dedanna1029]

Oh yeah, it works. Quite well, actually.

Have had a blast with gnome-shell ever since Mandriva's 2009.1 Cooker, I think it was.

Need to run - going to take care of the grandson, get him from school, etc.

Take care.

The bug I filed on the resuming issue hasn't even been responded to yet. I expected a bit more expediency with the Arch devels.

"Assigned To No-one"

Please remember the Arch way! "Explore and fix it yourself" You don't expect there - you fix. Or you pick Ubuntu

[dedanna1029]

I would have no clue how to "fix" something as huge as X, in particular when I don't even know what's causing this.

[viking60]

Uh yes there is that. I guess they need someone to confirm the error. There is an X update today maybe that helps.

[dedanna1029]

Unfortunately, no, didn't change a thing.

Re: Cron in Tips & Tricks, since 3 updates ago, my daily cron has been wanting to run at 7:30 p.m. rather than 4:00 a.m.

I have no idea where to start troubleshooting this, or how to fix it. Cron has always been very elusive to me - I never could "get it" to where it "clicked".

[viking60]

Your cron should look something like this then

Code: Select all

00 04 * * * Whatever you want done here

Is your system clock running correctly? You can check that with:

Code: Select all

date

What is the output of

Code: Select all

 crontab -l

This cron changes my wallpaper every minute (rvause's script):

Code: Select all

01 * * * * python /home/viking/skript/wallpaper.py

[dedanna1029]

Code: Select all

# crontab -l
# root crontab
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE MANUALLY! USE crontab -e INSTEAD

# man 1 crontab for acceptable formats:
#    <minute> <hour> <day> <month> <dow> <tags and command>
#    <@freq> <tags and command>

# SYSTEM DAILY/WEEKLY/... FOLDERS
@hourly         ID=sys-hourly   /usr/sbin/run-cron /etc/cron.hourly
@daily          ID=sys-daily    /usr/sbin/run-cron /etc/cron.daily
@weekly         ID=sys-weekly   /usr/sbin/run-cron /etc/cron.weekly
@monthly        ID=sys-monthly  /usr/sbin/run-cron /etc/cron.monthly

See, this is what I can't tell. What's set for what here? It shows the @hourly, @daily, @weekly, and @monthly, but doesn't say when they are? I'm afraid if I add a line, that it will not only run at 7:30 p.m., but then again at 4:00 a.m.?
