Music should use tracker. It plays music fine. It downloads covers well. It sucks when discovering music files. My music files are all neatly saved in /home/user/Music. The only way to check if I have a particular song or album or music artist is if 1) I open Rhythmbox, which "discovers" music well (manually) 2) if I search in nautilus, the file browser in GNOME and 3) if I use tracker CLI in the terminal. There's a ton of music files not showing up in Music. I like that it has last.fm in gnome-accounts. It gave me a smile when I discovered that songs I played in Music shows up in my last.fm recently played list. Yes I remember that I allowed last.fm in the accounts.

Here's the very first time that a systemd status check yields ok across the board.

Since the Arch linux installation I have this problem with my bluetooth devices. Yes I have successfully paired them and all devices appears in all the bluetooth monitor of each device. But the bluetooth service in Arch disconnects immediately after I try to turn it on. The logs says: "bluetoothd[2668]: a2dp-source profile connect failed for 1C:B7:2C:55:A8:80: Protocol not available" I found my answer in the Arch Wiki here . But please read the whole article about bluetooth since your issues might not be completely the same. So the short story is I'm missing a package there. After downloading with pacman and restarting pulseaudio, I tried connecting the devices. I'm using gnome by the way so the graphical front-end is where I went. I also got these from the logs. It confirms the devices are now connected. logfile: Feb 24 06:15:14 archdesktop bluetoothd[535]: Endpoint registered: sender=:1.44 path=/MediaEndpoint/A2DPSource logfile: Feb 24 06:15:14 archdesktop bluetoo...

top - look at load averages I haven't seen these work load stats ever. I haven't changed my habits at all.

Adding Google's DNS resolver in your Network Manager will surely save you a lot of headaches. So just click on the network icon in the upper right hand corner and click (if you have more than one interface, choose your interface) the settings tab. google's dns server number added Google's DNS servers owns the internet. It helps you find the destinations for your convenient browsing. Of course you're also telling Google where you want to go.  I can't get xdo-tool to work with Web / Epiphany. I can't use my password manager to fill in these important personal login pages in the Internet. I downloaded Mozilla Firefox browser for it. Bummer. AND in this subject also, I can't use my password manager to fill in gnome-online-accounts. Why not make it happen? Security issue here??

Previously, I installed samba in my desktop to allow it to share files among other devices in the local network. I could not make my android tablet and smartphone connect or make it see the desktop. I forgot to allow the samba service in my firewall. So to do that I have to open a terminal and get root priveleges. # ip addr ##to get my ip address # ufw allow from 192.168.15.0/24 ##to allow any connections from the LAN, local network # ufw status verbose ##to check the status of the firewall

Hi Reese Within a week of using Archlinux, some unique problems came into my attention. I have a full and increasing directory in /var and /usr. It seems pacman cache is already 3 GB and the core dump file is also 3 GB. The core dump is important if you're looking into application crashes. I decided to trash the core dump. I'm not going into application crash reporting now. I don't need the pacman cache but in second thought I might want to leave the last instance of that upgraded package. I am fighting with samba right now. I have followed two instruction threads out there but I can't make it work in my android device. I can see my shares in my linux machine but not in android. I finished my first maintenance cycle of my Archlinux life - cleaning out the pacman cache. This link to Archlinux Wiki on the topic will explain it a lot. The default here for me is to leave at least a way to go back if things get out of control. So I am going to be using this: # paccache -...
