[arch-general] Where has my /etc/networks gone?
I'm playing around with schroot and when creating a chroot with "type=directory" I at first failed to start it. The reason seems to be the lack of the file "/etc/networks". I created an empty one, and that was accepted by schroot. However, the man page (networks(5)) is rather cryptic, so what is this file for? Would it not be better to always have one (albeit empty) by default? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: mag...@therning.org jabber: mag...@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
[arch-general] Evolution Missing from Testing
When I do a 'pacman -Syu', I'm getting an error that evolution-3.2.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz cannot be found though the testing list file shows that file. It sounds to me that the repo is not in sync or something.

'/etc/networks' lists IP networks, similar to how '/etc/hosts' lists individual hosts -- except it's not really used for anything, which is why some distros stopped including it. I think `route` from net-tools is the only command that still uses the names defined in '/etc/networks'. For example: | loopback 127 | link-local 169.254 | home-lan 192.168.42 | # no CIDR support, by the way -- Mantas Mikulėnas , 0xD24F6CB2C1B52632

[arch-general] how to give Date&Time root priviledge
Hi all, I use kde4.7. As the time zone does not set correctly, I tried to change the timezone as "America/Toronto" in rc.conf. it did work but the time still not right. So I used date&time --KDE control module to adjust time, it said 'System policies prevent you from saving the date/time setting', and asked me input the password for root. The authentication failed, I am quite sure the password was correct. I guess I didn't add time in user group. Any solution about this? Thanks a lot. Adrian
