[arch-general] Arch install broken by invalid signatures (anthraxx) using 201610 iso
by David C. Rankin 09 Jan '17

All, Attempting an arch install tonight, and I get the following at pacstrap /mnt :: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] :: Retrieving packages... krb5-1.13.7-1-x86_64 1100.1 KiB 1405K/s 00:01 [######################################] 100% libpsl-0.16.1-1-x86_64 49.8 KiB 3.74M/s 00:00 [######################################] 100% (155/155) checking keys in keyring [######################################] 100% (155/155) checking package integrity [######################################] 100% error: krb5: signature from "Levente Polyak (anthraxx) <levente(a)leventepolyak.net>" is unknown trust :: File /mnt/var/cache/pacman/pkg/krb5-1.13.7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)). Do you want to delete it?

Do you want to delete it? [Y/n] error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package) Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded. ==> ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root What was this caused by? I had to boot from the 10/2016 iso. Is it a change in signatures since then? I'll download a new iso and try, but I'd be surprised if an iso less than 5 months old no longer works? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[arch-general] Stable 4.8 series and 4.9
by Phil Wyett 08 Jan '17

08 Jan '17

Hi, Could someone guide me to any doc on kernel update / version change policy for arch? I see we have a 4.8.16 released but not built for arch and 4.9.1 (in testing) that is, but still early in its release cycle. Regards Phil -- Play the game, for the games sake.

[arch-general] Gufw broken by large update.
by Alonzo Gomez 07 Jan '17

07 Jan '17

Hi. Gufw was working (xorg only, not under Wayland) until today. Today, I did a large update of multiple packages - about 240 Mb worth. After that Gufw no longer starts. Symptoms: When gufw icon is clicked, the authentication window pops up as usual, requesting the user password. When entered incorrectly, the window just says incorrect, try again. When entered correctly, the authentication window disappears, and nothing further happens. Same behavior using Linux, Linux-lts, and Linux-grsec kernels. Note: Gufw always started correctly under xorg (chosen at GDM login). Gufw has never worked, just displayed the symptoms stated above, under Wayland (chosen at GDM login). Since the update today involved many packages, I don't know which one(s) are the culprit(s). The updated packages seemed to be mainly about GTK and Python. All dependencies seem okay, and I did remove and reinstall Gufw. Same results. (Python-gobject is intalled and up to date). I searched online, in the wiki, in the forums, and in the Arch bug reports, all to no avail. I did come across some old reports of similar problems, possibly where GTK was responsible. Ufw is and has been working fine, enabled and autostarted under systemd. I can't see anything suspect in dmesg or journalctl, but might not recognize it if I did. Setup: Arch x86-64 Gnome 3 Grub2 machine is UEFI-capable, but using bios (MBR). 1 root partition (EXT4) 1 swap partition Contents of /var/log/gufw.log: [12/29/2016 10:47:41 PM] /usr/sbin/ufw --force delete 1 [12/29/2016 10:47:32 PM] /usr/sbin/ufw --force delete 2 [12/29/2016 10:46:15 PM] /usr/sbin/ufw deny in proto tcp from any to any port 23 [10/31/2016 09:41:17 PM] Confirm Delete Dialog: Enabled I don't have 6 months to learn to use ufw without a gui. Any magic solution? If not - I'm so disgusted with ufw on Arch - can I just remove gufw, ufw, and ufw from systemctl, and then install firewalld. If so, will the existing iptables configuration be overwritten automatically, or would it have to be somehow purged manually? Note: I have not filed a bug report yet. I wanted to see if it was really a bug, or a PEBKAC error.

Re: [arch-general] New kernel repo

Check out https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/unofficial_user_repositories You may find a repository for the kernel you're looking for. Just be wary its obviously unofficial and thus unsupported.

[arch-general] New kernel repo
by Mthw Mthw 06 Jan '17

06 Jan '17

After using Archlinux for a while I started to miss the ability to use latest kernels easily as it is on Mint or Ubuntu. I think the ubuntu kernel ppa is a good way to distribute kernel packages to users who dont want to build kernels from source every time new version is available. I wanted to ask you if you could, in the future, create a webpage that would provide precompiled packages for linux-mainline and/or linux-rc. Looking forward to your answer, Your Happy Arch User

[arch-general] Acount banned in the wiki and also #archlinux-wiki

Because I noticed the #bitcoin community about a troll disrupting the following article/discussion and spreading lies/FUD about bitcoin. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Talk:Bitcoin This kind of operator abuse is getting ridiculous in the Arch Linux community. Thanks, alad. Diego

[arch-general] change in hooks recently?
by Javier Vasquez 01 Jan '17

01 Jan '17

Hi, I have this pacman hook: ++++ % cat /etc/pacman.d/hooks/systemd_mkinitcpio_regenerate.hook [Trigger] Operation = Install Operation = Upgrade Type = Package Target = systemd [Action] When = PostTransaction Exec = /usr/bin/mkinitcpio -p linux ++++ It used to trigger only when upgrading the "systemd" package, for a post transaction. However now it's triggering on every system upgrade, which is not what I was expecting... Thanks, -- Javier
