[arch-general] Announcing pacpak
by pelzflorian (Florian Pelz) 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

Hello, A specter is haunting the GNU/Linux ecosystem: the specter of per-user containerization. Software like Flatpak and Snappy promise fully sandboxed GNU/Linux application bundles (instead of merely launching an application with fewer privileges but without hiding the operating system, like Bubblewrap or Firejail do). Bundles ship with the version of their dependencies which they need. Dependencies are not force-upgraded with the operating system, but easily upgradable by the bundle creator. The same files in different bundles and versions are deduplicated to save space. Applications can be containerized once for all modern GNU/Linux operating systems. Unlike Docker, Flatpak works without root privileges. Flatpak allows you to run, say, a sandboxed and containerized copy of LibreOffice where opening an infected file can only cause harm to what the sandbox has access to, but not compromise the integrity of the system as a whole. Untrustworthy games can be isolated and run without fear of a system compromise. More generally, most GUI applications should probably be installed to and run from a Flatpak sandbox. This has major implications for traditional package managers. Pacman would be demoted to providing the base system on top of which Flatpak bundles downloaded from elsewhere are run (e.g. from gnome.org or from reallytheofficialwebsiteoflibreofficeipromise.com) However, I would prefer having a unified pacman-like interface for installing containerized and non-containerized applications. I believe a PKGBUILD is a good way to specify how to build an application for Flatpak as well. I do not want to lose the many packages from Arch and derivative distributions. tl;dr: Therefore I started writing a tool called pacpak which uses pacman to populate Flatpak application bundles. Its interface is meant to be similar to pacman’s. For example, in order to install gedit into a Flatpak application using a bundle of the gnome packages as a runtime, you install pacpak from the AUR and use: $ pacpak -S Base xterm You can run the resulting application like this: $ flatpak run $(hostname).app.xterm pacpak is still in its early alpha stages. I do not currently have the time to devote more than a day per week to its development. However, I’d like some feedback on the basic idea. I am also looking for a home for the project in the longer term, since I do not currently like to administer a bug tracker on my own rented server and dislike centralizing all free software development on GitHub or Sourceforge (I’d rather administer my own then). This will only be helpful once all the basic features are implemented of course. I would be glad if pacpak or a similar tool eventually becomes an official Arch project. Let me conclude by thanking those who develop Flatpak, those who package and maintain Flatpak for Arch and all the other Arch and free software developers we rely on. Regards, Florian Pelz

[arch-general] What's with Ray Rashif?
by sekret＠posteo.se 17 Feb '17

17 Feb '17

Hey guys! I'm not writing this mail to complain, I'm just wondering! I use ardour quite a lot and of course I wanted the update to version 5 as soon as possible. The first release 5.0 didn't build here, so I thought ok, maybe the maintainer of this package is struggling with it too. The current version is 5.3 which compiles and runs just fine. So now I wonder why we don't get an update. So I looked at the other packages of the maintainer, see this link https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?packager=schiv and well, I see a lot of red there! So I must wonder: Is Ray still active? Best sekret

[arch-general] Single Drive Fresh Install (mbr/grub2) Fails to boot (can boot existing from .iso??)
by David C. Rankin 31 Dec '16

31 Dec '16

All, After 7 years and 30+ installs, I thought I had seen it all. I have a new (used) laptop, that I put a fresh 1T drive in, partitioned and loaded arch. The laptop can't find the drive to boot? Huh? There is only a single drive in the laptop, but it will only boot if booting from grub hd1 (instead of hd0). The failure isn't a "grub prefix/root" problem, the problem is the laptop cannot even find grub to begin with when it is booting on it's own. The only way booting happens is to boot the installer (from USB) and then "Choose existing OS" and edit the prefix (from 0 -> 1). Which itself is wonky, because booting from USB creates the USB thumb-drive as /dev/sdb to begin with and the hard drive as /dev/sda where it should be. This is a strange laptop, it has 2 hard drive bays (HP Elite 8760w). The bios is configured to scan both (as well as USB and PXE) for boot. I can boot the install .iso without issue, install went fine, but in order to boot the new install, I have to "Boot existing OS" from the .iso menu, then 'tab' and change hd0 0 to hd1 0 (I took the existing Win10 SSD out of the same bay I put this drive in - which is also a simple mbr boot - no UEFI). The setup is dead simple (.iso is sdb below) $ lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sdb 8:16 1 980M 0 disk ├─sdb2 8:18 1 40M 0 part └─sdb1 8:17 1 792M 0 part sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk ├─sda7 8:7 0 880G 0 part /home ├─sda5 8:5 0 500M 0 part /boot ├─sda1 8:1 0 1K 0 part ├─sda8 8:8 0 1G 0 part └─sda6 8:6 0 50G 0 part / and $ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 931.5 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0xff7d45aa Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 2048 1953525167 1953523120 931.5G 5 Extended /dev/sda5 * 4096 1028095 1024000 500M 83 Linux /dev/sda6 1030144 105887743 104857600 50G 83 Linux /dev/sda7 105889792 1951383551 1845493760 880G 83 Linux /dev/sda8 1951385600 1953525167 2139568 1G 82 Linux swap / Solaris grub is installed to /dev/sda with grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sda (no errors on install), and grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg I've searched for anything related to HP laptops or this model, but only find issues failing to boot the install CD or the newer UEFI pages like https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HP_EliteBook_840_G1. Has anyone encountered something similar? There is no longer a /boot/grub/device.map file installed by grub2, but given the fact the bios isn't seeing the drive at all for boot, I don't see how mapping hd0 to hd1 would make a difference. Does anyone have a link or any idea what the issue may be? I'm happy to send whatever additional information may be required. I'm ssh'ed into the box right now, I just need to get the boot and plasma ironed out. Any ideas? Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Stronger Hashes for PKGBUILDs
by fnodeuser 28 Dec '16

28 Dec '16

https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2016-November/028492.… i have a few things to add to this. the message digests at the download page for the .iso file, must change to sha256 and sha512 ones, or to a sha512 one. if an upstream does not sign the files, does not have https enabled, and/or refuses to take security and privacy seriously, sha512 must be used in the PKGBUILD files. in the cases of upstreams that use md5 and/or sha1 message digests, those will be added in a second ALGOsums= line under the sha512sums= line. if they use md5 and sha1, then sha1sums must be used for the second ALGOsums= line.

[arch-general] STM32 compilation on ArchLinuxARM
by Foxtrot Mike 28 Dec '16

28 Dec '16

TL;DR; I need a way to install arm-none-eabi-gcc on Raspberry Pi (Arch Linux ARM) using pacman or from source. Hi guys, First of all, I know that this mailing list entertains questions and information related to Arch Linux, not Arch Linux ARM. Since I have received valuable suggestions on this list before, I am going to ask my question here in the hope that someone would be able and willing to help. I couldn't find the required info on the internet. I am running Arch on my main desktop. I installed arm-none-eabi-gcc package using pacman so I can compile code for my STM32F103 board. I switched from Raspbian to ArchLinuxARM on Raspberry pi yesterday*. I have found most of the my daily usage packages in ARchLinuxARM repo, but can't find arm-none-eabi-gcc package. There's a post on ArchLinuxARM forums [1] requesting the same info, but the post didn't get any reply. Every google search tells ways to develop for Raspberry Pi on x86 computers using arm-none-eabi-gcc. I couldn't find any meaningful info about developing for ARM Cortex-Mx on Raspberry pi. Any suggestions would be apreciated. Regards, Fulcrum [1] https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=10060 * Hoping to use Raspberry pi as my daily computer so I could run Windows on my main desktop for gaming

[arch-general] Whatever happened to speps?
by David Runge 28 Dec '16

28 Dec '16

Helloes, I was wondering, if anyone knows anything regarding the current status of speps. I tried to ping him about some long-outdated packages (supercollider, pd), but haven't gotten a reply in a week. With supercollider we're currently already at 3.7.2 and with pd at 0.47. The latter will also require some fixes, because unpatched/unmodified it's unusuable in its current state (in a JACK setup). Not to be annoying, it's just that an outdating of more than 6 months is very unusual (in the case of supercollider) and I'm using them regularely. I'd be happy to help get the packages back on track. Best, David -- https://sleepmap.de

[arch-general] Postfix delivery problem
by G. Schlisio 23 Dec '16

23 Dec '16

Dear list, We have a mail server with postfix and dovecot where we have mail addresses with local unix accounts (authenticated by pam) and without unix accounts (dovecot passwd-file authentication). The problem only affects those non-unix account mail addresses. (There are also completely virtual email addresses with different domains, also managed by dovecot, but still working fine, for simplicity ignored here; sorry the config is really complicated). All non-unix-account addresses are listed in a postfix table, configured in main.cf by: mailbox_transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/mailbox_transport_maps looking like this: user1 dovecot user2 dovecot All this was working fine, before yesterdays (rather big) system-upgrade. Now we get the following error in the mail logs: <user(a)dukun.de>: delivery via local: user lookup error postfix/local in verbose mode complains: postfix/local[27333]: deliver_switch[2]: local user recip user(a)dukun.de exten deliver user(a)dukun.de exp_from dukun postfix/local[27333]: deliver_alias[3]: local user recip user(a)dukun.de exten deliver user(a)dukun.de exp_from dukun postfix/local[27333]: deliver_alias: hash:/etc/aliases(0,lock|no_regsub|no_proxy|no_unauth|fold_fix|utf8_request): user not found dukun postfix/local[27333]: dict_pcre_lookup: /etc/postfix/aliases_regex: user dukun postfix/local[27333]: deliver_alias: pcre:/etc/postfix/aliases_regex(0,lock|no_regsub|no_proxy|no_unauth|fold_fix|utf8_request): user not found Dez 23 01:56:03 dukun postfix/local[27333]: deliver_dotforward[3]: local user recip user(a)dukun.de exten deliver user(a)dukun.de exp_from postfix/local[27333]: warning: error looking up passwd info for user: Invalid argument It seems like postfix/local is ignoring the mailbox_transport_maps option and trying to deliver itself instead of passing to dovecot, thus finding no entry in the system passwd. After full upgrade config files were merged (no changes in mail config) and a reboot was done. The list of upgraded packages is shown at http://termbin.com/k5ql . As downgrading postfix, dovecot and icu (linking) did not resolve this issue, we are very confused. As this is critical infrastructure for some people, any help is warmly appreciated. regards georg

[arch-general] [OT] Settings problem: Why is Thunderbird so silly?
by Peter Nabbefeld 22 Dec '16

22 Dec '16

Hi all, I want to select an application for opening an attachment with an alternative editor (a PDF file with LibreOffice Draw in this case). When I want to select the application, I get the list of last opened files (i.e. text files, which obviously are not able to run ...). Trying to search for "sdraw" presents me with a waiting cursor ... waiting endlessly. I'd guess I have to set some options somewhere, but I don't know which - or do I even have to edit some XUL file? I doubt, that Thunderbird is really so "silly" just not being able to find some application. BTW, my desktop is XFCE, latest firefox (latest system update today). Kind regards Peter

Hi, what worked for me was navigating to /usr/bin or even /bin within the "Choose Helper Application" dialogue and then selecting an executable (in this case libreoffice). The "Choose Helper Application" dialogue will even remember it was in /usr/bin when you invoke it again. Reminds me of the way to do stuff in Windows Vista - back when I was young and ignorant ;) - where you'd "Open with" something like "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Microsoft Office\WINWORD.EXE". Not quite an elegant way of managing programms, but it works most of the time. Regards

[arch-general] Google Summer of Code 2017
by Jonas Verschueren 21 Dec '16

21 Dec '16

Hi everyone, I am currently thinking about applying for the 2017 run of Google Summer of Code. Because I am an avid Arch user and general Linux enthusiast I thought it would be nice to work on Arch and make my contribution back to the community. This discussion seems to come up most years and I don’t know what the outcome of this was previously but I thought I’d ask anyway. I am a PhD student in theoretical and computational materials science based in London. I am an experienced c++ and python user but I am getting more and more interested in the inner workings of the linux kernel and the way various distributions are built on top of it, which also explains my interest in doing this. Anyone know whether someone of the Arch developers could be interested in (or gently persuaded into) mentoring a Summer of code project? Best wishes, Jonas

[arch-general] Why was wpa_supplicant.conf renamed wpa_supplicant.conf.pacsav??
by David C. Rankin 19 Dec '16

19 Dec '16

Arch devs, I'm left wondering what purpose was served by not providing a pre-update note or post-install restoration of any existing .pacsave found? The new sample wpa_supplicant.conf is in /usr/share/doc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. If this was simply due to a pacman default action where /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf was removed upstream, could a one-off 'post-install' script check for the original .pacsave and restore it? I know this is small-potatoes stuff, but I just wonder if in these instances, it may not be better to either provide pre-update notice or do a post-install script rather than relying on a post update action by the user? At least in the cases where you know up-front that existing functionality will be disabled by the upgrade. (which was apparent from the comment) Food for thought for the packagers. In these cases, I would think we would either want some type of pre-update note on archlinux.org (like for ttf-dejavu) or some post install restoration of the original config. I'll reiterate, at least for the cases where the packager 'knows' a broken config will result. Here, anyone relying on remote access via wpa_supplicant is left dead in the water unless they catch the comment as it scrolls by before rebooting. (yes they should review the comments, but with human nature what it is...) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Stronger Hashes for PKGBUILDs

hello eli, you have misread and misunderstood a few things. reread carefully all the messages about the subject, and check the links in my second email. i will write only about things that are not covered by the previous messages. >Sure they're the same. It is the same underlying technology you have some studying to do about checksums and message digests. >Um, what? `pacman -Syu` does, in fact, check that every package is >signed by a Developer or Trusted User whose key is in archlinux-keyring. what i said is that the users must check the integrity of the sources too. it is not something that only the package maintainers must do. the users must check the PKGBUILD files to compare message digests and key fingerprints. >sha256sums is plenty secure enough. So I assume the Firefox maintainer >uses that mega-file to validate the download, then uses updpkgsums to >update the current sha256sums rather than using copypasta on Firefox's >SHA512SUMS file. no. you will never use less secure than upstream. the best must be used to future-proof also. copypasta? no one said to copy-paste anything without verifying first. >Arch Linux doesn't even have a gnupg1 package, if you want to blame >someone for the absolute inability to validate that key on Arch Linux >(independent of makepkg) blame the GnuPG developers for dropping support >of insecure and tremendously outdated keys. it does not matter. he will download it on his own to verify it, and then he will add the sha512 message digest in the PKGBUILD file to future-proof it. >Assuming they care about being securely identified on IRC.

[arch-general] Regular service freezes the system
by Jeanette C. 16 Dec '16

16 Dec '16

Hi List, I have encountered this issue several times now. I can't be sure, which job actually freezes the system, a good runner up is updatedb, though I have a feeling that somethi9ng ran after that one. updatedb (mlocate) definitely eats a lot of system resources, eventhough it only concentrates on my internal sata disk with ext3/ext4 only filesystems. The last entries in the journal are related to the update of the mandb. The issue in question doesn't arise every day, thus it may be a service run weekly - or even more infrequently - or some other interaction of my own causes these freezes. I don't always work on my computer around midnight. Can anyone help or guide me in further research, please? Best wishes, Jeanette -------- When you need someone, you just turn around and I will be there <3

[arch-general] GTK3 theming issues in i3wm
by Giovanni Santini 15 Dec '16

15 Dec '16

Good evening, I started having fun with i3wm. I find myself pretty well with it and my setup is working well... I tried to set up the settings.ini file in the appropriate GTK3 folder, in order to have the same configuration I've in my GNOME Shell setup. But, setting up the GTK style file, makes Firefox totally not working, making the theme to not be used and removing all text from tabs and elsewhere, except the rendered pages. Thunderbird, on the other hand, works perfectly with the same file... And Nautilus doesn't accept the file. An option could be to use the i3-gnome session, but it was pretty broken for me (I wasn't able to exit i3) while normal i3 worked flawlessly. Not sure how can I debug stuff, I will provide here everything needed. Thanks in advance! -- Giovanni Santini My blog: http://giovannisantini.tk My code: https://git{hub,lab}.com/ItachiSan My GPG: 2FADEBF5

[arch-general] virtualbox-bin x-server connection refused
by David C. Rankin 09 Dec '16

09 Dec '16

All, I'm a bit confused with a connection refused from the X-server attempting to start fluxbox within an Arch guest. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if I have a module problem after the last kernel update. (dkms says everything was rebuilt) I have the following installed: virtualbox-bin 5.1.8-1 virtualbox-ext-oracle 5.1.8-1 on 4.8.12-3-ARCH I start virtualbox headless $ VBoxManage startvm "arch_1_64" --type headless and then connect to the vm with rdesktop, e.g. $ rdesktop fenrir -u david -g 1280x800 -x l & The connection to the guest is fine, it pops up with the 1152x864 framebuffer resolution I set. If I start it without 'headless', the console starts over ssh and mouse-pointer integration is automatic, just as it should be. But either way, if I attempt to start x, via 'startx' as I do normally with my `.xinitrc` set to launch fluxbox, I get: xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused. The host modules loaded are: 10:58 fenrir:~/cnf/vbox> lsmod | grep box vboxnetflt 28672 0 vboxnetadp 28672 0 vboxpci 24576 0 vboxdrv 385024 4 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt,vboxpci which I don't see a vboxvideo or vboxsfs, etc.., but that is where my confusion comes in. Since this is 5.1.8 (well after 5.0.8 as mentioned in the wiki) are those modules even used anymore? and if not, do I have all the modules I need? Checking the Xorg.0.log on the guest it complains it can't find 'vboxvideo', 'fbdev' or 'vesa' modules, e.g. 'no screens found(EE)'. Do I need to do something more in the guest after upgrading the kernel there? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Apple Super Drive and Arch Linux?
by L. Rose 08 Dec '16

08 Dec '16

Hi, has anyone used the Apple Super Drive external DVD writer with Arch Linux yet? You need to send some magic byte sequence to enable it. The method [0] has worked for me on all debian-based distributions I've used so far, but as I tried it on my Arch Linux today, it didn't work. 1. Super Drive is not visible as /dev/sr0 after being plugged in, only as /dev/bus/usb/001/0xx 2. "sudo sg_raw /dev/bus/usb/001/010 EA 00 00 00 00 00 01" fails with error message "do_scsi_pt: Inappropriate ioctl for device" lsusb lists "Bus 001 Device 010: ID 05ac:1500 Apple, Inc. SuperDrive [A1379]" and dmesg says "usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 10 using xhci_hcd". I installed sg3_utils from extra. I suspect Arch Linux being the problem, since it worked on debian before. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Lukas [0]: https://christianmoser.me/use-apples-usb-superdrive-with-linux/

[arch-general] Stronger Hashes for PKGBUILDs
by fnodeuser 08 Dec '16

checksums and message digests are not the same thing.[1] checksums are not suitable for integrity verification, and the best (meaning, at the time of writing and for the foreseeable future, most secure), currently supported cryptographic hash function algorithm (that is sha512 in AL's case), must be used to compute the message digests of the files. message digests are one of the things that we can and must use for security. not all upstreams have https enabled and not all of them sign their files with gpg. it was because of me that the 'Use gpg signatures and https sources' task was added to the todo list.[2][3][4] these things must be checked by the users also, not only by the package maintainers. i check everything, most of you check nothing. you just do 'pacman -Syu'. let us start with firefox's PKGBUILD file for the first example. you are using sha256mds instead of sha512mds. you can see at https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/50.0.2/, that there are 3 files, KEY, SHA512SUMS, and SHA512SUMS.asc. that is one example where you are using a smaller digest size than upstream, that cannot be verified with the signature. another example is nmap's PKGBUILD file. you continued to use sha1mds instead of sha512mds.[5] in Gentoo they use 3 mds and in Debian they use 2 mds (for all packages, regardless of what upstreams do or do not do (in Debian's case they sign the files containing the mds)).[6][7] there are a few package maintainers who insist on using and/or are still using only a part of the commit or tag hash. the whole commit or tag hash must be used, always. the refusal to future-proof.[8] i talked with the lsof upstream. he told me that he has retired, that he is old, and that he might stop maintaining it. it is unlikely that he will create a new keypair any time soon and he might never do that. another bad thing that many AL team members do, is connecting to irc servers without using tls and certificate verification. that is all for now. _ [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checksum, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function [2] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/51579 [3] https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2016-October/028416.h… [4] https://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?opened=23845&status[]=, https://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?opened=23412&status[]=, and https://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?opened=23101&status[]= [5] https://nmap.org/dist/sigs/nmap-7.31.tar.bz2.digest.txt [6] https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/www-client/firefox/Manifest [7] https://ftp.acc.umu.se/debian/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox_50.0.2-1.dsc [8] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/50482

[arch-general] Systemd services start by default
by sivmu 08 Dec '16

08 Dec '16

Today I noticed there were network services running on my system. I DON'T have have permanently running network services. WTF happened? Systemd happened! Or rather systemd-resolved and the systemd time sync daemon. It seems that a recent update set those services to start by default. I thought I would let you know and maybe this is worth an announcement because I won't be the only one not happy about systemd enableing services an my system that I don't need/want.

[arch-general] gnupg failing strangely

The last few days I've noticed issues with GnuPG. I'm using `gpg-agent` as my `ssh-agent` and that's were I noticed strangeness first. I can't add keys: ~~~ $ ssh-add /home/lmagnus/.ssh/id_ecdsa_github Enter passphrase for /home/lmagnus/.ssh/id_ecdsa_github: Could not add identity "/home/lmagnus/.ssh/id_ecdsa_github": agent refused operation ~~~ and now I found that I can't encrypt files: ~~~ $ gpg -c TODO gpg: cancelled by user gpg: error creating passphrase: Operation cancelled gpg: symmetric encryption of 'TODO' failed: Operation cancelled ~~~ Anyone else seeing similar behaviour? I'm seeing this behaviour on both the latest package, 2.1.16, and the previous, 2.1.15 (both -1 and -2). I've not dared go back further than that since 2.14 complains "libreadline.so.6: cannot open shared object file". /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0x927912051716CE39 email: magnus(a)therning.org jabber: magnus(a)therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Do not meddle in the affairs of Wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger. — J.R.R Tolkien

[arch-general] GRUB doesn't boot Windows behind Secure Boot
by Giovanni Santini 07 Dec '16

07 Dec '16

Good afternoon, I have been using GRUB for a long time, but I'm having a strange issue. My setup consists of ArchLinux as main OS and Windows 10 and Ubuntu 12.04 as secondary OSes. Turning up Secure Boot in my firmware options results in such an error when chainloading Windows: /EndEntire file path: /ACPI(yadda)/PCI(yadda)/Sata(0,0,0)/HD(yaddayadda)/File(\EFI\Microsoft\Boot)/File(bootmgfw.efi)/EndEntire error: cannot load image. The strange thing is that disabling Secure Boot make it works.

[arch-general] PHP 7.1.0 not compatible with latest stable ownCloud in [community]
by Chi-Hsuan Yen 06 Dec '16

06 Dec '16

Hi Arch enthusiasts, I've just upgraded to testing/php 7.1.0-2. Now my ownCloud installation only displays a short notice on its index.php: This version of ownCloud is not compatible with PHP 7.1. You are currently running 7.1.0. Please use at least ownCloud 9.2.0. However, seems ownCloud 9.2 is still far away to go: https://github.com/owncloud/core/milestone/76, and php 7.1 is not yet fully supported: https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/26764. I guess I need to leave a loud message to Arch developers and prevent php 7.1.0 from entering [extra]. What's the best way? Open a bug on Flyspray? Thanks for any input! Best, Yen, Chi-Hsuan

[arch-general] Installation: How to get HDD > LUKS > GPT working in a clean way
by Merlin Büge 05 Dec '16

05 Dec '16

Hey everybody! I'm currently installing Arch on my laptop (Thinkpad T400), and have decided for a rather unusual partition scheme: A single LUKS container directly on the disk (SSD) with a GPT partition table and two partitions inside it: one for SWAP, the other one for the system and everyting else, formatted with Btrfs. The laptop runs libreboot, so I have GRUB2 as a payload inside the flash chip which I use to decrypt the LUKS container and load a GRUB configfile located at /boot/grub/grub.cfg (generated by grub-mkconfig). This works fine. While experimenting with GPT inside LUKS before the installation I've noticed two issues, with at least one of them being present also after installation: First, after unlocking the LUKS containter the two GPT partitions don't become visible to the kernel automatically. I have to manually do partprobe /dev/mapper/<dmname> to inform the kernel about the two new partitions. partprobe is part of parted. My idea was to create a custom hook just after the 'encrypt' hook, which would simply run the above command. I tested this and it seems to work. Question: Is there an even simpler solution to that problem? For example an alternative to partprobe which is already in 'base'? The second issue was that I could not (after unmounting the Btrfs partition and deactivating the swap partition of course) directly close the LUKS mapping via cryptsetup luksClose <dmname> It gave me: device-mapper: remove ioctl on <dmname> failed: Device or resource busy [...] device-mapper: remove ioctl on <dmname> failed: Device or resource busy Device <dmname> is still in use. Instead, I had to remove the partition mappings first via dmsetup remove <dmname>1 <dmname>2 This was getting me rid of the aforementioned error messages. As expected, I get these error messages also during system shutdown -- but only whith the shutdown hook in initramfs. Without it, I presume the system does not even try to close the LUKS container (which would make sense, since there is no initramfs created by default for shutdown afaik), therefore also resulting in no error messages being shown. What could I do about this? I'd like to have my system closing the LUKS container correctly -- therefore I need to remove the partition mappings before that. I've read a lot in the last days and weeks about Btrfs, SSDs, coreboot, etc. to make sure I don't run into many issues. Though these two don't come unexpected, I don't know how to solve the latter one, because systemd shutdown and shutdown initramfs are still a little miracle to me... I'd really appreciate any help! This is all on an up-to-date vanilla 4.8.10-1-ARCH. I attached two shutdown logs with debugging enabled: one with and one without the shutdown hook applied. They look very similar though. (I made sure to reboot twice after building the initramfs before taking the shutdown log.) My HOOKS array is: HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block keyboard keymap encrypt pp \ filesystems fsck shutdown" (pp being the hook which runs partprobe against the mapped LUKS container) Best Regards, Merlin -- Merlin Büge <toni(a)bluenox07.de>

[arch-general] minidlna problems
by Peter Nabbefeld 05 Dec '16

05 Dec '16

Hello, I've installed minidlna (community/minidlna 1.1.6-1), but cannot access any files. When I access it on port 8200, statistics count some audio files, but those are videos (mp4). I also cannot see a list of the files (well, I even don't know, if this would be expected behaviour). If I try to connect via UPnP using VLC, I cannot even see any file. Portscan detected port 8200 listening, but neither 80 nor 1900. So, I do have some questions: - Why are my mp4 files recognized as audio files? - Is minidlna expected t oshow a list of files in its DB somewhere? - How can I detect minidlna working correctly? Kind regards Peter

[arch-general] Xorg Thunderbolt3-HDMI RGB problem
by Prutheus 01 Dec '16

01 Dec '16

Hello! I am on i3 with my Dell XPS 13 9360. I have a THunderbolt3-to-HDMI Adapter from pluggable and a monitor and a cube mini projector. My Problem is, that when I connect the cube mini projector to my adapter and enable it via xrandr, I get projected my screen with rgb-errors, like I can see my screen, but everything is destroyed with rgb- errors, I mean the whole screen is broken with these colors, I really can't see much on it. The funny thing is, when I connect the projector to my docking station, it works fine, so this must be a problem with the thunderbolt3-hdmi adapter. Additionally, to fix this issue, I need to unplug the projector from the adapter, plugin my monitor, plug out my monitor and plugin again the projector, now the rgb-errors are away. STRANGE!!! image: http://i.imgur.com/lu6tnrV.jpg I would be very happy if you can tell me where I can find information, e.g. which log files could be useful to you? Also, if you know a solution, please don't be restrained to tell me. Thanks, your Prutheus
