grub2, fallback & recoveryview story

https://bbs.archlinux.org – I've been trying to understand the generation of grub.cfg and the different options available in grub2's menu at boot time. It seems much more complicated than yaboot!/etc/default/grub contains lines for both GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT.It seems that GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX options are added to kernel command lines for all linux options?

Dictionary widget breaks plasma-desktop after upgrade (KDE)view story

https://bbs.archlinux.org – I upgraded last night, including the latest kernel but there may also have been a couple of kde-specific updates. I can check if anybody is interested.Booting today, plasma-desktop was only partially usable. Reboot did not help. Removing old plasma config files and recreating them did not help. Eventually, I tracked it down to the Dictionary widget. (HowTos)
