Is your borrowed machine also running ArchLinux?  If so, have
you tried anything else - Ubuntu, Fedora, etc?  As far as I can
tell, you're the only one suffering these problems and also you
seem to be the only one using ArchLinux.

Note: I tried to duplicate your problems here, but I've never used
ArchLinux and it's so primitive and hard to use (compared to what
I use everyday) that I simply don't have the time to mess with it
any more.
