Re: a couple of things with the SALT v3.17 released version using it in Arch

A couple of issues have arisen it seems in the latest version of SALT, being run in Arch Linux 64 in Virtualbox.

- sudo pacman -Sy gksu does not seem to work anymore in Arch. However, it does work with yaourt -Sy gksu. (I re-installed all the items listed in the OP arch install section in order to rule out any problem with the next issue and ran into this new development).

- I am not able to extract a kdz to a specific

sub

-folder in my host shared folder in Arch. On the selection for the exact location to extract to, it only shows the shared folder but it does not allow me the open and select the specific sub-folder. When I check into it further, it indicates that the shared folder isn't mounted. More interesting, I am able to first select the kdz file from the shared folder on the selection mount.

Even more interesting is that this issue does not present with SALT used with FWUL in Virtualbox. I am able to select the kdz and direct it to the specific

sub

-folder in my host shared folder.

I've pasted the Salt Log below for the Arch issue.
