about the uutils-coreutils package
by Leah Anderson 17 Apr '25

Hey, I noticed something about the uutils-coreutils package in the extra repo. It isn't marked as conflicting or providing the coreutils package at all. Is this a problem at all? Best wishes, Leah

/usr/bin/xml2-config - missing in libxml2 2.13.6-2?
by David C. Rankin 20 Feb '25

20 Feb '25

Devs, Just update to libxml2 2.13.6-2 and found that the /usr/bin/xml2-config file is missing? This breaks many configure scripts. Listing the package contents, the man-page for it is still there, but not the executable: libxml2 /usr/share/man/man1/xml2-config.1.gz It was present in libxml2-2.13.5-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst, but not in libxml2-2.13.6-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst. Is this an oversight or intentional. If intentional, how best to change configure scripts that use it. What other functionality will take its place? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

i915 LSPCON init failed bug -- is back
by David C. Rankin 20 Feb '25

20 Feb '25

All, The reboot issue with the new install on the HP ProOne 600 (i5-8500) is a bug: [drm:intel_dp_detect [i915]] *ERROR* LSPCON init failed on port D https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/i915/kernel/-/issues/4458 Looks like we are just stuck until it is fixed. At least now we know the cause (most likely). This was fixed in 5.14.7 and now is back. So we will see when a fix comes through. A least I know I'm not crazy -- yet... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Arch iso install failure HP ProOne 600 UEFI - Triggering uevents... - then hangs?
by David C. Rankin 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

All, I thought I'd improve a HP ProOne 600 (i5 8500) with a fresh Arch install. Disabled secure boot per https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide, and booted the Arch 2025-02-01 install iso burned to usb with dd per the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/USB_flash_installation_medium. I get the boot menu and choose the default (first) option. I then get a couple of errors (3 total, all the same except for the file extensions .BCL, .BCM and .BQC: ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Faiure creating named object [\_SB.PCI0.G?.BCL] (and .BCM and .BQC), AE_ALREADY_EXISTS (20240827/dsw-load2-326) ACPI Error: AE_ALREADY_EXISTS, During name lookup/catalog (202408???ject-220) I'm not sure what character(s) are where I have the "?" above, that was cut off my picture on the left of the screen. The installer then tries to boot (looks like first few chars guessed): Starting early hook [udev] Loading systemd-udevd version 257-2-2-arch Starting early hook [archiso_pxe_ndb] Starting hook [udev] Triggering uevents... (hangs) The "Starting early hook [archiso_pxe_ndb]" seems to indicate it's trying to boot via pxe instead of from usb?? This is my first new install in a long time. Does anything stand out? Is there a trick to make this work? Any help appreciated. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Note: pacstrap -K /mnt ... failed with corrupt signatures, --refresh-keys cured gromit allowing new keyring install
by David C. Rankin 17 Feb '25

17 Feb '25

Devs, Just a note on the current 2025-02-01 install iso. On pacstrap -K /mnt all packages had corrupt signatures. pacman-key --init was run but the failures continued. pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring failed due to corrupt gromit key/signature. Running pacman-key --refresh-keys fixed gromit's key allowing pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring to succeed. Finally, then pacstrap -K succeeded. I'm not sure if this was a hiccup or generic problem with the keyring on the installer. Thought I would pass it along in case it needs fixing. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
