Python 3.11 timeline?
by David Rosenstrauch 04 May '23

04 May '23

Anyone know if there's any timeline on when we'll see python 3.11 get released to Arch? I emailed the maintainer about this directly recently, but didn't hear anything back. I know this is a big upgrade, and lots of dependent packages are involved, so this might require some time. I just was wondering if there was any roadmap/timeline for how long that might be. Thanks, DR

Libssl error with dotnet sdk
by Sadeep Madurange 09 Mar '23

09 Mar '23

I apologize in advance for the noise as this may well be an issue with dotnet. I'm trying to build a project that uses SDK version 3.1. When I ran the build command, I got the error "No usable version of libssl was found". Installing libssl-1.1 let me get past this error. But now I'm getting the following error making me wonder if I need to do anything more than just installing libssl-1.1: Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 16.7.2+b60ddb6f4 for .NET Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Determining projects to restore...

What is/are the IPv4 addresses used by archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync? I need to tell iptables
by David C. Rankin 28 Feb '23

28 Feb '23

Arch devs, What is/are the IPv4 address(es) used by archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync? I need to tell iptables not to block them so my logs quit filling up with errors. I cloned the source (pyhon...) and looked, but my feeble python skills were unable to find where the addresses or domains were listed (other than the @..... e-mail address domains for verification purposes) They may change? That is one challenge the use of varying cloud or service provider may pose. Failing there being any fixed set, I guess I could tcpdump the traffic, but if there is a list of IPs that the keyring sync uses, that would be the easiest way to go. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

6.2 Module Build - all good except for nvidia-390xx
by David C. Rankin 28 Feb '23

28 Feb '23

All, Follow-up from a recent thread on 6.2 kernel module builds. All Arch package modules built fine, as did 6.1 branch of virtualbox. However the nvidia-390xx driver fails to build with: nv-gpu-numa.c:232:47: warning: cast between incompatible function types from XXX to YYY (long type salad omitted) 232 | nv_dir_context_t ats_ctx = { .ctx.actor = (filldir_t)filldir_get_memblock_id }; nv-acpi.c:77:19: error: initialization of ‘void (*)(struct acpi_device *)’ from incompatible pointer type ‘int (*)(struct acpi_device *, int)’ [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types] 77 | .remove = nv_acpi_remove_two_args, The upside is it is a -Werror trip of a warning into an error so there may be a path to work around from a compiler option standpoint, but I've yet to look into that or an actual patch yet. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

One to remember linux 6.1.12.arch1-1 and linux-lts 6.1.13-1
by David C. Rankin 25 Feb '23

25 Feb '23

All, This is the first time I can remember since 2009 that LTS is ahead of the regular kernel: linux 6.1.12.arch1-1 linux-lts 6.1.13-1 Here is to hoping 6.2 doesn't bring a lot of surprises and kernel module issues... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Alacritty crashes on start
by Paul Schaefer 23 Feb '23

23 Feb '23

Hey, a few days ago, I updated my old system. Since this update Alacritty refuses to start on Sway. When started, it crashes with the following message: [wayland-client error] Attempted to dispatch unknown opcode 0 for wl_shm, aborting. [1] 723599 IOT instruction (core dumped) alacritty If I start Alacritty on X(-Wayland) by setting WAYLAND_DISPLAY= , everything works fine. On my second machine (using the same software combination) Alacritty just works. Can you help me debugging this issue? Thank you!

vim 9.0 bash syntax highlight broken for large if [ cond ]; then ... else ... fi block
by David C. Rankin 22 Feb '23

22 Feb '23

All, After the vim 9.0 update the syntax highlight in my .bashrc is off for: if [ "$EUID" -eq 0 ]; then ## suff else ## sudo stuff fi (generic blocks used in both user/root .bashrc) Where about a dozen alias set for various combinations of systemctl and pacman commands are set. Before this past time looking at the .bashrc, highlight had been fine (don't know if that was 1, 2, 3 months ago), but now it is hosed. Image of the wonky highlight: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/89a2016e0483 (good 24 hours) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

libmysofa-1.3.1-2 hidden and breaks pipewire - with fix
by Genes Lists 21 Feb '23

21 Feb '23

Problem: This package is available in community, but pacman cannot find it - which breaks pipewire-audio due to missing soname depends. pacman only finds 1.3.1-1 which is missing the needed provides. Cause: The reason appears to be that while the package is available, it was not added to the repo database - effectively hiding the package. I've heard of quite a few folks who've been bitten by this. Fix: add this to the repo Anyway fix should be quick and easy :) thanks. gene
