Join the Arch Testing Team - Call for participation
by Robin Candau 10 Feb '24

Hi, We hope y'all had a good start in the new year of 2024 --- With the new year usually come new resolutions. If you don't have any so far, we have one for you: What if you decided to give Arch a bit of help with testing package updates this year? 😃 Arch uses testing repositories [1] as a buffer for core/critical package updates (or any other package updates that would benefit from being tested first) before entering the stable repositories. Testing these package updates helps us to catch more bugs upfront and ensures flawless updates for the stable repos, and that is where you can help! By joining the official Arch Linux Testing Team [2], you'll get the ability to "sign off" packages in testing after vouching for their correctness (or reporting a bug [3] otherwise). This helps Arch Package Maintainers catching eventual bugs upfront and helps to move packages out of the testing repositories faster and more efficiently. We are not necessarily looking for in depth testing. Verifying that a program launches correctly and that you're able to perform your usual routine with it is already a good test on its own. You can also check the general testing guidelines [4]. This is a very effective and rather easy way to contribute to Arch Linux. The more testers we have, the more reliable packages updates will be. We hope to see some of you there! 😉 [1]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Official_repositories#Testing_repositories [2]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_Testing_Team [3]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bug_reporting_guidelines [4]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_Testing_Team#Guidelines -- Regards, Robin Candau / Antiz

laptop microphone not working properly
by Frank 08 Feb '24

08 Feb '24

Good evening, my build in mic stopped working. It produces only random noise, while i was on a Zoom call. I checked with gnome-recorder and confirm it's not the Zoom app. My wife's bluetooth headset works fine. My setup: UXEDO Pulse 14 Gen1 AMD Ryzen™ 7 4800H Arch Linux (obvioulsy) with current kernel and packages pipewire Tested on Hyperland and Gnome (both wayland and X). I checked settings in pavucontrol but looks all fine. Is there something else for me to check if it's a config/driver error and rule out hardware issue. Thanks Frank

Radicale is unmaintained upstream, but no other good alternative in official repos
by D. Debnath 05 Feb '24

05 Feb '24

Last commit is on April 22, 2023: https://github.com/Kozea/Radicale/commits/master/ Last release on July 15, 2022: https://github.com/Kozea/Radicale/releases Among the list of CalDAV/CardDAV servers mentioned in the wiki <https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_of_applications/Other#CalDAV/CardDAV_…>, Baikal seems to be a good alternative that is also maintained. Last commit 10 hours ago: https://github.com/sabre-io/Baikal/commits/master/ Last release on November 16, 2023: https://github.com/sabre-io/Baikal/releases While there is an AUR package of Baikal <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/baikal>, I try to avoid installing AUR packages as much as possible. How do I request arch packagers to package Baikal in the official repos?

kernel module sg gone
by Jude DaShiell 02 Feb '24

02 Feb '24

When I wanted to read iso files on dvd or cd I used to need to do modprobe sg first. That's gone with latest update of kernel and modules and I'd like to know what replaced it. -- Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Weird thing, on ubuntu 22.04 there's no problem. On arch is that I see the error. BTW, I tried "config.ssh.disable_deprecated_algorithms" [1] set to true on the Vagrantfile, and it doesn't help. I see nothing particularly curious on the Vagrantfile. For SSH: > # SSH options > sdk.ssh.username = "<container_username>" > sdk.ssh.forward_agent = true > sdk.ssh.pty = true > sdk.ssh.forward_x11 = true > sdk.ssh.insert_key = false Disabling deprecated algorithms since Arch has obviously a newer openssh, but again, that didn't help. It's weird that on arch the SSH authentication fails... I've created other docker containers based on ubuntu, pretty similar on this SSH Vagrantfile config, and no issues. On the other hand, I've also used other docker containers. Actually there are 2 from the org I work, that I would like to use on my arch box, but I just cant, currently relying on remote VMs... Thanks for any hints... -- Javier [1] https://developer.hashicorp.com/vagrant/docs/vagrantfile/ssh_settings

Nextcloud 28.0.2 removes Rescan option if integrity check disabled
by David C. Rankin 02 Feb '24

02 Feb '24

Arch devs, After the 'sodium' issue with the original 28 update, there was a request that we make known Nextcloud issues so if they are packaging related they can be fixed. In today's 28.0.2 update, the "Rescan" option is no longer presented in Admin Settings -> Overview if you have disabled integrity checks in config.php which is routinely needed on update so that the .htaccess file can be rescanned and hash updated if you have installed to a directory under your document root and needed to adjust the caldav/carddav paths in .htaccess. Without the "Rescan" option available, this way of updating the .htaccess hash to remove the warning no longer exists (it still works, you just have to save the Rescan URL before disabling integrity checks and then manually run it even though the Rescan option isn't provided) If this is a packaging issue, it needs to be fixed so the hash update can function without saving/manually running the rescan. It was there and worked fine in 28.0.1, but is gone in 28.0.2. I've also asked for help on the nextcloud forum in case this isn't a packaging issue. Further details in that post: https://help.nextcloud.com/t/nextclout-28-0-2-removes-rescan-option-when-in… -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Fwd: dropping opera
by David C. Rankin 01 Feb '24

01 Feb '24

For what it is worth, it would be nice to see opera picked and continued to be packaged. It is a solid browser that's not brave, vivaldi, etc.... -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: dropping opera Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2024 21:01:02 +0100 From: Ike Devolder <ike.devolder(a)gmail.com> To: arch-dev-public(a)lists.archlinux.org Hi, Since I have not really used opera for years, I'm finally going to drop it from the repo's. If someone wants it, feel free to adopt it. Else I will drop it to AUR in 2 weeks. --Ike -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
