by Francis Gerund 19 Jul '15

19 Jul '15

Hello! Run: - Arch linux 64-bit - 4.0.7-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 30 07:50:21 UTC 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux - Firefox 39.0-1 - flashplugin 11.2.202.481-1 (Install Date : Wed 08 Jul 2015) What is best practice about the current flash vulnerabilites? Just uninstall flashplugin? Can live without, but many websites still require it.

[arch-general] Linux Kernel capabilities
by arnaud gaboury 17 Jul '15

I build my own kernel with ABS. To allow my nspawn container to load kernel modules, I must add this to nspawn unit file: --capability=CAP_SYS_MODULE. Unfortunately, it doesn't work and needed modules are not loaded from container but only from host. I realized there is no #define CAP_SYS_MODULE in /usr/lib/modules/4.1.2-2-ARCH/build/include/linux/capability.h. Is this specific to the arch kernel ? Thank you for hints. -- google.com/+arnaudgabourygabx <https://plus.google.com/_/notifications/emlink?emr=05814804238976922326&emi…>

11 Jul '15

Hi guys, from about a week on my notebook tlp do not auto recognize ac/batt state and it don't auto load the config. If i restart the daemon manually after an ac/batt switch it will work well. Any idea to fix it?

[arch-general] improving the app stream data
by kendell clark 09 Jul '15

09 Jul '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 hi all I'm writing in to ask how I can help arch improve it's app stream data, which is largely what gnome software depends on to be able to install and find software. As it stands now there are a lot of packages missing data, so you often get "no application found" when using gnome software to search for them. A good example is orca, the screen reader. Another issue is using gnome software to find software for mime types the system doesn't know how to handle. Often you'll get sorry we couldn't find any software to handle this mime type, when software does exist. Does anyone know how the app stream system works and can you point me to docs and standards so I can read up on it? Once I've got that down, where can I pull down the source appstream data arch uses so I can start improving it? I've got the archlinux-appstream package installed, but I'm not sure if I can edit the data with a running package and it will be picked up automatically or if I need to edit the data and then generate a new package. Sorry for my ignorance I'm completely new at all of this stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
