Or just I just patiently wait for Gnucash 2.6.11-1 (gnucash-latest) to move to the "extra" repository? And if so, any idea when it might be ready?

[arch-general] systemd user unit files from custom directory
by Andre "Osku" Schmidt 30 Jan '16

30 Jan '16

hello, thought i'd ask here first, in case it's a distro problem. was wondering if we can use systemd to start and stop a daemon for testing purposes during development. meaning, i would like to not have to "install" my daemon nor its systemd service file, and instead run all from the working directory. from systemd.unit man page i got the impression that this example would work: ❱ tree $PWD /data/projects/hmm └── systemd └── user └── foobar.service ❱ cat systemd/user/foobar.service [Unit] Description=Foo Bar [Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/sleep 42 ❱ XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$PWD systemctl --user start foobar Failed to start foobar.service: Unit foobar.service failed to load: No such file or directory. am i doing it wrong, or? Cheers Andre Schmidt

[arch-general] systemctl --user problems

hi! this last week systemctl --user stopped working saying: > Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory first thing I tried was downgrading systemd but it didn't work. so after reading several pages, I still haven't figured out what's happening but it helped me find several other weird things that I don't know if are related... 1. user(a)1000.service fails with timeout, is there a way to find what's making the service hang? 2. after restarting user@, polkitd.service says: > Started Authorization Manager. > Registered Authentication Agent for unix-process:2622:23390 (system bus > name :1.20 [/usr/bin/pkttyagent --notify-fd 4 --fallback], object path > /org/freedesktop/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_US.UTF-8) > Unregistered Authentication Agent for unix-process:2622:23390 (system > bus name :1.20, object path > /org/freedesktop/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_US.UTF-8) > (disconnected from bus) without registering again which I am not sure if is the correct behaviour but can be due to manually starting user@... 3. and also I've found that XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and XDG_SESSION_ID are not set (neither before or after restarting user@) as should be the case from [1] and [2]. thanks for the help.

Re: [arch-general] [Announcement] Discussion about restricting arch-security for public participation
by AIS Information 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

As a consumer of the list, i would actually prefer that it was closed. I want emails only when they are official security announcements from arch security team. Thanks for asking. Keep up the good work! ps. IMHO, the mailing lists rules, etiquette, best practices, how to report a security issue through proper channels, etc would be nice to have on the wiki or on lists.archlinux.org. The description for arch-security will probably need to be updated there too. Otherwise, people may get chatised for things that aren't documented in the expected places.

[arch-general] Can't install AppArmor on linux-grsec kernel
by Foxtrot Mike 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hi I installed linux-grsec kernel on my Arch system a few days back for improved security. My next step is to sandbox internet-facing applications such as firefox, thunderbird, torrent client, etc. However, it seems like grsecurity patchset doesn't have application sandboxing capability (Does it? Couldn't find it in docs or forums). In the past, I used Apparmor on Ubuntu for basic sandboxing. I tried installing it on linux-grsec kernel but it seems like the necessary kernel options required for installing Apparmor are disabled on linux-grsec kernel. The kernel options required by Apparmor on Arch are [1]: CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR=y CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR_BOOTPARAM_VALUE=1 CONFIG_DEFAULT_SECURITY_APPARMOR=y CONFIG_AUDIT=y While my linux-grsec kernel's configuration reports: # CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR is not set I think I could enable the required options by recompiling the linux-grsec kernel but it seems like the grsecurity team now provides the stable patches only to commercial customers [2], so I believe I won't be able to recompile the kernel myself (Perhaps I'm wrong?). I was hoping someone here would be able to help me install Apparmor on linux-grsec kernel or atleast point me in the right direction.

[arch-general] Experiences with SELinux on Arch
by Niels Kobschaetzki 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Hi, since I won't get an answer on the forum except "Read the Wiki" which isn't helpful, I ask here. Is here anybody with real world experiences with SELinux on Arch? The forum states the userland tools as "work in progress" which doesn't say anything about the progress… I'd like to know how easy SELinux is to use on Arch. I am just starting out to (re-)enabling it on my CentOS-servers and there it is actually not that hard after all nowadays because of the great tools available. But how about Arch? Niels

We are still unable to deliver mails to yahoo and so far my email to postmaster(a)yahoo.com has not received a reply. Can anyone put me in touch with someone from yahoo or tell me if the postmaster address is read (I kind of expect it to go to /dev/null)? Florian

[arch-general] Clarification on pacman signature verification
by Solomon Lam 25 Jan '16

25 Jan '16

Hi, This is regarding package verification performed by pacman. Does pacman download the .sig file of a package while installing one? All I could find are the local cached copies of packages only but not their signatures. If thats the case, how does pacman verify the integrity of the downloaded package? It could be that .sig file could have been downloaded into /tmp during installation or to another location that I'm not aware yet. This brings me to my next point. I've manually downloaded just the package file (of some random package) from a mirror and disconnected from the Internet. I used both 'pacman -U <pkg-name>' and 'pacman -S <pkg-name>' to install the package and the installation went just fine. I was expecting Pacman to emit an error stating that signature was missing but nothing happened. Could someone care to explain this. BTW, I have SigLevel = Required DatabaseOptional in my pacman.conf. - Solomon

Re: [arch-general] [tor] User and group entries are left over in passwd and gshadow after removal, makes pwck and shadow.service fail

Reading the dev discussion and the clear consensus emerging from it, I wonder about corner (?) cases like tor where an important service fails due to the absence of user removal in package management. Central to this particular issue is the specification of a home directory which is deleted upon package removal because empty, which trips pwck. For it not to fail on those cases, a possible solution would be to add package-specific home dirs to PKGBUILDs backup=() array, but that's kind of an ugly workaround. I'll leave it here for now, Cheers
