Network issues on laptop, issue with iwd?
by Lucie Scarlet 03 Sep '24

03 Sep '24

Hi, I've got my HP laptop set up with Arch, and it's been working absolutely wonderful. That is, until recently when it seems like it is having major network issues. I've got it set up with iwd and connected to my home wifi, but it's having a bunch of issues. It keeps dropping the connection, and when it doesn't do that, it really struggles with resolving addresses. I also tested going to 1.1.1.1 and even that had issues, so it's not just DNS. I haven't had any issues with my other devices on the wifi, so I'm not sure if it's that. I tried restarting it as well, which didn't help. Could it be an issue with iwd? Hoping for something that can lead me in the right direction, this is getting quite frustrating. Best, Lucie

knotes missing after upgrade
by SET 03 Sep '24

03 Sep '24

Hello, After today's upgrade, package knotes is not in the repositories. 'pacman -Q knotes' gives 'knotes 24.05.2-1', the previously installed package that fails to load. Other KDE packages like kontact have version '24.08.0-1'. 'pacman -S knotes' gives nothing. Is it dropped upstream or in Arch (both doubtful)? Has it been renamed? Thank you for any input.

Two Arch Systems - Identical, loginctl shows TTY for one, not the other?
by David C. Rankin 31 Aug '24

31 Aug '24

Devs, All, Recently across several distros there have been issues with loginctl not showing a TTY associated with a login. This has caused various issues with processes that rely on the user TTY for one thing or another. So I decided to test Arch on two backup servers, both current though today, both boot to multi-user target. On one box TTY=pts/0 is associated with my user login, on the other there is no TTY associated, e.g. 02:41 fenrir:~> loginctl show-session auto Id=1 User=1000 Name=david Timestamp=Sat 2024-08-31 02:37:24 CDT TimestampMonotonic=164549181 VTNr=0 TTY=pts/0 ^^^^^^^^^ Remote=yes RemoteHost=192.168.6.104 Service=sshd Scope=session-1.scope Leader=776 Audit=1 Type=tty Class=user Active=yes State=active IdleHint=no IdleSinceHint=1725090076000000 IdleSinceHintMonotonic=395959270 LockedHint=no The other: 02:40 valhalla:~> loginctl show-session auto Id=1 User=1000 Name=david Timestamp=Sat 2024-08-31 02:26:09 CDT TimestampMonotonic=32411169 VTNr=0 Remote=yes RemoteHost=192.168.6.104 Service=sshd Scope=session-1.scope Leader=712 Audit=1 Type=tty Class=user Active=yes State=active IdleHint=no IdleSinceHint=0 IdleSinceHintMonotonic=0 LockedHint=no How is that possible and what to check? Seems freedesktop.org and provided another mystery. Ideas? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Ctl+Alt+F7 fails!
by Ralf Mardorf 31 Aug '24

31 Aug '24

Hi, Ctl+Alt+F7 fails! I need to restart the machine. $ pacman -Q linux linux 6.10.7.arch1-1 2fucktor auth fails as well ;), hence I cannot provide a bug report. I was able to log in https://gitlab.archlinux.org/ a few hours ago. I've had enough by now! I cannot report the issue against the bug tracker, maybe somebody is willing to care about the issue here. Consider to stop this 2fucktor auth crap! Regards, Ralf

fail2ban with action = %(action_mwl)s not including log lines
by David C. Rankin 30 Aug '24

30 Aug '24

All, I've posted to the forum, but haven't received any suggestions https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2190182#p2190182 The title says it all. When fail2ban is configured to include log lines in the e-mail it sends when a ban it triggered, no log lines are included. The whois info is included, but not the log lines. Does anybody have this working? Does this need a bug report to have something tweaked to work with the journal on Arch? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Auto Chmod inside directory
by Silvio Siefke 30 Aug '24

30 Aug '24

Hello, I use Nextcloud to keep important files synchronised between my computers. This works without any problems, but the folder on the desktop is treated as 777 after every file change. It affects all folders that are below Public/fr4, which is strange, it is kept in sync with a second machine and there (Public/he) this does not happen. How can I find out why this is happening? Are there any possibilities here? It is not the future to use find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; Thank you. Silvio

Hi, Anyone has a working gitlab installation that uses relative url (https://host/gitlab) ? I am new to gitlab and tried to install and configure it using wiki instructions[1] Then I followed gitlab instruction how to setup subpath[2] Web interface works. I created empty project and tried to push my local repo there and get: [zork@serenity]$ git push gitlab --all Enumerating objects: 33558, done. Counting objects: 100% (33558/33558), done.

Changed password on Arch, now ssh cannot connect - "Connection refused"
by David C. Rankin 29 Aug '24

29 Aug '24

All, I changed my password for my username on my Arch server (as you should do every so often). Now everything has gone to hell. I changed the password accordingly in Thunderbird, but it cannot get mail. I've restarted sshd, and I still cannot even connect: debug3: ssh_connect_direct: entering debug1: Connecting to valkyrie [192.168.6.14] port 6661. debug3: set_sock_tos: set socket 3 IP_TOS 0x10 debug1: connect to address 192.168.6.14 port 6661: Connection refused Is there some other magic you must do now other than passwd? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

mirror problems 503 reply?
by David C. Rankin 26 Aug '24

26 Aug '24

All, I don't know if this is a know problem or if I'm just lucky, but checking the mirror status from the archlinux.org main page show more than 50% of the mirrors without any sync status. Trying an update, I just got a 503 reply for an http mirror. Changed to one showing it was syncing -- no issue. Do we have mirror problems? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
