How confident can we be with the AUR Contents?

https://bbs.archlinux.org – The AUR can do anything it wants.  You are encouraged to inspect every package build before executing makepkg and to also accept that you trust the source files that go into every package.  Some owners of AUR packages are "Trusted Users."  That is just a designation however and should not be taken as a guarantee of anything.Edit: comprehension fail. headkase https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=54886 2013-02-10T05:34:59Z (HowTos)

Why did you use the force option? "f"?  That shouldn't be used most of the time.  Well, if it's working again, add into the title of your first post as an edit "[Solved].."?

I don't use Catalyst, Intel here, but do you have "catalyst-dkms" installed?  My gross understanding is that will help reconfigure the proprietary driver properly when the kernel is updated?EditMentioned here:https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AT … repository

You're welcome. You can try to use a different font where it says "terminus" in the command line.  A bit of experimentation just might get you a satisfactory outcome..

If you are interested in improving boot time then readahead collect and replay fits the bill:https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … _readaheadYou need to reboot a few times for it to be fully optimized.

Yup, cower doesn't hide AUR details from you - you still do the steps.  Cower just makes two of the steps (downloading and extracting a tarball, and checking for updates) much more convenient to do along the way.

The first thing you need to know how to do is REISUB:https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … uts#KernelIf you can do that, from a frozen system, then it will greatly minimize - but not eliminate - the potential corruption to your filesystem.

For myself yes.  And for yourself: 3.6 just might bring a better r8169.  If it doesn't there is always 3.7.  It will happen eventually.
