[arch-general] Warning! Upgrading QupZilla to 2.x might cause loss of data
by Ralf Mardorf 10 Jul '16

10 Jul '16

Hi, to get back the history run $ mv .config/qupzilla/profiles/default/browsedata-backup(1).db .config/qupzilla/profiles/default/browsedata.db but this doesn't restore speed dial. Perhaps it also does not restore other data. I opened an issue: https://github.com/QupZilla/qupzilla/issues/2026 Regards, Ralf

Re: [arch-general] arch-chroot

It turns out arch-chroot is okay after all but very probably the last release of base and the last release of alsa-utils both need to go back to the factory for repairs. First base is probably implicated because after the pacstrap command was run pacstrap /mnt base base-devel espeakup alsa-utils grub crda dialog ifplugd iw wpa_actiond wpa_supplicant <enter> the /var/run/lock directory had not been created in the /mnt space. Second when it got created the alsactl store command run in arch-chroot arch-chroot /mnt /usr/bin/bash <enter> produced no errors. However even producing no errors upon reboot into the new system no speech would speak and speaker-test or speakertest would not work. --

[arch-general] time setting problem after installing.
by matthew dyer 07 Jul '16

07 Jul '16

Hi all, I just installed arch into a vertual machine dfor now as I do not have a bare boons system to install to at the moment. Any way I have a problem whare my system thinks I am in lundon uk and not in the us. I have tried running NTPD-QG but I am told that the command not found. I want the clock to show the correct local time and not have it showing 4 hours ahead of it self. Any ideas on how to fix this. I want to show it in .profile, but it just creates a new file instead of using the exhisting file. How can I change my time to the corect local time? Thanks. Matthew -- Sent from my Arch Linux VM

[arch-general] arch-chroot
by Jude DaShiell 07 Jul '16

07 Jul '16

I had been using it to install archlinux specifically talkingarchlinux. It mostly works ok until I do alsactl store and then I get a state lock error. As a result of this failure, I can finish up a talkingarch installation but on reboot, I have no speech on the system. Does a way exist I can clear this problem? The only reason I'm doing this is because the wifi network I had set up and working with netctl also died and I'm going to have to wipe the hard drive and reinstall talkingarch to clear this problem. --

[arch-general] Using libpqxx with clang
by Garmine 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

Hi, With the recent update of libc++ I wanted to continue compiling and testing a C++14 project with clang (and gcc), but unfortunately the libpqxx package is compiled for gcc - it is impossible* to use with clang at the moment. It used to properly work several months ago. I believe the recent update of libc++ introduced incompatibilities between the two compilers and it's libraries and that's why the above issue arose. Anyways, did anyone manage to compile libpqxx dependent code using clang++ 3.8 and libc++ 3.8? Or does anyone have an idea on how to fix the package while retaining compatibility with both compilers at the same time? * or am I missing something? Regards, Garmine

[arch-general] ML is being sent to Spam by Gmail
by Eli Schwartz 04 Jul '16

04 Jul '16

Recently a (disproportionately) large number of emails from the various Arch Linux mailing lists are getting rerouted to my Spam folder in Gmail. It seems to have started roughly around the time of this change: [arch-devops] Finally fixed DKIM (I hope)[1] dkim header remarks indicate either failed or missing dkim sigs for those messages. Is anyone else seeing this behavior change? @Florian Pritz, whatever you did doesn't seem to be working, in fact it is worse. :( [1] https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-devops/2016-May/000066.html -- Eli Schwartz

[arch-general] Package are signed... but pacman doesn't like them...?
by Giovanni 'ItachiSan' Santini 04 Jul '16

04 Jul '16

Good morning, some days ago I found a nice service called "Open Build Service", which allows all kind of packagers, including also Arch ones, to have different repos of their packages, having them built online. This is awesome for me, as some of them require heavy building time. I fought a bit against the service, in order to make the GPG public key to be uploaded to a key server, in order to allow users to add it properly to pacman-key. Now, I am facing a really strange issue: I've added the key to pacman keyring, using: sudo pacman-key -r 05E0A765C649DE23 sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 05E0A765C649DE23 Database syncing works properely and the signature is verified... But for packages it is not. Every time it gives an error as this: $pkgname-$pkgver $pkgsize $dw_speed 00:00 [--------------------] 100% (1/1) checking keys in keyring [--------------------] 100% error: $pkgname: unsupported signature format(0/1) checking package integrity (1/1) checking package integrity [--------------------] 100% error: GPGME error: No data I tried to download the public key and adding to my personal GPG keyring. Verifying the packages signatures works perfectly. To try this, I fetched the .sig file online and used the GPG --verify command. Any hints? Now, the needed data. My personal repo configuration for pacman [home_ItachiSan_archlinux_Arch_Extra] Server = http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ItachiSan:/archlinux/Arch_E… The public key mentioned above: http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&fingerprint=on&search=0x05E0A… or http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=home%3AItachiSan&fi… Sorry to be so verbose. :< Thanks in advance! -- Giovanni Santini My blog: http://giovannisantini.tk My code: https://github.com/ItachiSan My code, again: https://gitlab.com/u/ItachiSan My Twitter: https://twitter.com/santini__gio My Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/giovanni.santini My Google+: https://plus.google.com/+GiovanniSantini/ My GPG: 2FADEBF5

[arch-general] Where is the ISO?
by Kevin Dodd 02 Jul '16

02 Jul '16

According to everything on the Arch Linux Downloads page: https://www.archlinux.org/download/ archlinux-2016.07.01-dual.iso should be available. The torrent tracker keeps saying "torrent not found". Via DHT and PEX, I have connected to more than 50 peers in the torrent swarm, and none of them had even a single piece of the file. All of the HTTP mirror links simply return 404. Clearly the file exists, or there would not be a PGP signature for it. So could someone who has it please seed it at least once?
