gave up on archinstall

I use a screen reader and found archinstall locks the cursor on the top line of text on the display and scrolls the text on the screen whenever an action gets taken except for abort when it helpfully clears out of the way. I couldn't choose an audio server as a result even though choices got shown of pulseaudio and pipewire the cursor never made it into the options. All of this happened with latest release of archlinux. I think the network configuration was the only other one missing and I'm on ethernet so using dhcp usually allbeit managed by a network manager of some form.

Enforced egrep warning by an if/then check
by Ralf Mardorf 02 Oct '22

Hi, I'm uncertain, if it makes sense to file a bug report against the xfce4-dev-tools or not. Actually upstream has got a reason to do this ;), but on Arch Linux it results in unwanted and annoying warnings :(. $ grep egrep /usr/bin/xdt-autogen -A3 if type egrep >/dev/null 2>&1; then EGREP=egrep else EGREP="grep -E" fi One time I reported an egrep related warning issue against the rtirq community package and upstream, but I didn't report it against e.g. AUR's ventoy-bin. However, the above if/then issue is something very special, since a workaround does cause the warnings in this particular case. The grep package does also provide a workaround. IOW two workarounds collide with each other :D. Regards, Ralf

$ ldd /usr/sbin/remmina | grep libsoup libsoup-2.4.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsoup-2.4.so.1 (0x00007fae45bde000) $ pacman -Qi remmina | grep libsoup $ I searched bugs.archlinux.org. Remmina has no bugs there. Is it an archlinux packaging bug? -- u34
